Toby Jones and Paul burkini star in

Caedmon journey's to make end. Here

0:00:000:00:06

about that and the other top

releases of this week in The Film

0:00:060:00:10

Review. -- star in journey's end.

0:00:100:00:17

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be

0:00:180:00:22

bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:220:00:22

With me are the author

and journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

0:00:230:00:25

and the Political

Strategist Jo Tanner.

0:00:250:00:28

Let's have a look at

tomorrow's front pages.

0:00:280:00:35

The Metro uses a Musketeer analogy

to describe Amber Rudd's comments

0:00:350:00:38

on Cabinet relations.

0:00:380:00:39

Theresa May is appeasing

Tory Brexiteers by scrapping plans

0:00:390:00:49

to remain in the customs union,

according to the i.

0:00:490:00:52

Meanwhile the Times says a Cabinet

compromise on the customs union,

0:00:520:00:55

is on the cards.

0:00:550:00:56

A top Bank of England official warns

against post-Brexit,

0:00:560:00:58

banking deregulation

in the Financial Times.

0:00:590:01:02

The Guardian has an exclusive

on a secret fraternity of Freemasons

0:01:020:01:06

which is continuing

to operate in Westminster.

0:01:060:01:10

Lloyds becoming the first bank

to ban customers from using credit

0:01:100:01:13

cards to buy bitcoin,

is the Telegraph's top story.

0:01:130:01:18

The Express says it's

time to wrap up warm,

0:01:180:01:21

describing the forthcoming cold

spell as a "Scandinavian freeze".

0:01:210:01:25

And on the same story,

the Mirror says temperatures

0:01:250:01:29

are going to plummet to minus 14.

0:01:290:01:32

That's the flavour of

tomorrow's front pages -

0:01:320:01:36

no real consensus on what the main

story is, so let's see what's

0:01:360:01:40

appealed to our guests this evening.

0:01:400:01:44

I know you will kick us off with the

eye and the woes of Theresa May.

She

0:01:440:01:54

is there in China saying she is not

a quitter and she is her own person.

0:01:540:01:59

She is increasingly not. That does

make me sad because she is a female

0:01:590:02:06

Prime Minister and I think she needs

to be much more gutsier. As soon as

0:02:060:02:13

she returns here, something happens

to her. According to this paper she

0:02:130:02:19

is ruling out the customs union with

Europe. It is not up to us, exactly,

0:02:190:02:24

because there is so much evidence.

It is not up to the Brexit

0:02:240:02:29

supporters either, it is up to the

evidence of what will be good for us

0:02:290:02:35

and what the Europeans will agree

to. It seems to me that while she

0:02:350:02:39

was away, the plotters were at it

and gnashing us to confront them.

It

0:02:390:02:46

does claim to be an attempt to sue

the hardliners and that is the

0:02:460:02:50

balance she is trying to sort out.

It is interesting because there is a

0:02:500:02:54

suggestion that she is weak and she

is not doing a good job. But Angela

0:02:540:02:58

Merkel has yet to form a government

and we're talking about the. We at

0:02:580:03:06

least have a government. I know it

may be dysfunctional time... Are you

0:03:060:03:12

sympathetic? I think it is

interesting, what is happening in

0:03:120:03:17

Germany. Angela Merkel is quite a

big figure but actually she is

0:03:170:03:21

having a difficult time there.

They

are struggling. But this is within

0:03:210:03:26

the party. The Tory party. Everytime

you she needs to... People saying it

0:03:260:03:35

will be a new Margaret Thatcher,

these people are off within 30

0:03:350:03:44

seconds.

Is a personality or

temperament? Maybe.

But there are so

0:03:440:03:49

many Theresa Mays that I do not

recognise which one...

If you look

0:03:490:03:54

at the times, when you read the

secret plan to end Tory turmoil on

0:03:540:04:03

trade talks according to the times,

they say she has a plan to divide

0:04:030:04:07

and rule. There is a suggestion that

she is starting to grab hold of

0:04:070:04:13

this.

Can you talk us through this

story in the Times? It is about

0:04:130:04:18

splitting up players causing her

headaches.

The suggestion is that

0:04:180:04:23

the customs union is a huge area of

concern for many politicians of all

0:04:230:04:31

colours. The suggestion is that

there is some kind of time limited

0:04:310:04:38

extension to elements of the

existing customs union that will be

0:04:380:04:41

proposed. The briefing here in the

Times is that there is a belief that

0:04:410:04:48

this will prove to be more

attractive to Michael Gove than

0:04:480:04:52

Boris Johnson and it will start to

break up two of the so called

0:04:520:04:56

Musketeers.

It is a poor plan. Those

to have been at it and hating each

0:04:560:05:03

other, loving each other, hating it

other. I do not trust them at all.

0:05:030:05:08

It is interesting. The civil service

does not normally get into this

0:05:080:05:12

stuff. And Lord O'Donnell, who was

the head of the civil service, he

0:05:120:05:20

has deuce Brexiteers of selling

snake oil. The consequences matter.

0:05:200:05:26

They need evidence. -- he has

accused Brexiteers of selling snake

0:05:260:05:33

oil. They are not going to accept

that we take this softly for a

0:05:330:05:39

little while. They will not buy

that.

Oh to be a fly on the wall for

0:05:390:05:44

this two-day summit.

We have a

Cabinet meeting, Michel Barnier

0:05:440:05:52

coming over, and the negotiations

are getting hard-core.

But who will

0:05:520:05:56

Barnier negotiate with? Which side

of the Tory party will be speaking

0:05:560:06:01

with the voice of the Tory party,

the government, the nation...

It is

0:06:010:06:05

high stake but they'd a briefing

that this meeting will solve many

0:06:050:06:12

disagreements. That is a high hope.

And then there are 27 countries...

0:06:120:06:17

Yes, they do need to sign off on the

deal on the other end. It is quite a

0:06:170:06:23

long process. The Guardian has a

different lead. An exclusive about

0:06:230:06:28

the murky world, as they may put it,

of Freemasons and the relationship

0:06:280:06:35

with MPs and journalists.

yes. Just

as we celebrate the Centenary of

0:06:350:06:39

women getting the vote and a

fabulous suffragette picture on the

0:06:390:06:46

bottom, we have the unveiling of a

men's club. Freemason orders set up

0:06:460:06:53

for journalists in Parliament and

MPs. It recruits MPs, peers and

0:06:530:07:00

parliamentary staff and a gallery

lodge that was established among the

0:07:000:07:04

political press call. Apparently

they are both active. I don't know

0:07:040:07:10

how many people are involved but the

suggestion is that they have been

0:07:100:07:15

going for some time. Most people

assume that this sort of stuff has

0:07:150:07:20

died out.

It is completely

inappropriate. I have always

0:07:200:07:24

objected to a lobby system. What

sort of democracy has journalists

0:07:240:07:30

privileged enough to be good friends

of parliamentarians? That is

0:07:300:07:33

something that I think should have

changed a long time ago. When I

0:07:330:07:37

first began writing for the

independent they refused to join the

0:07:370:07:40

lobby. In the end... It is powerful.

There is no other way to access

0:07:400:07:44

information. They had dinners with

each other and then they pretend

0:07:440:07:48

this great distance. Now we find

that for some of them they are bound

0:07:480:07:55

with ritual and secrecy and all

kinds of weird things.

These reviews

0:07:550:08:01

would be very dull as we did not get

these snippets every now and then.

0:08:010:08:05

We only get this detail because of

the gossip.

We should start a female

0:08:050:08:10

Freemason group.

The lobby now have

fantastic representation of women.

0:08:100:08:16

Of maybe the women don't want to be

a part of this circle. Maybe they

0:08:160:08:20

don't want funny rituals and a

secret handshake.

The feeling is

0:08:200:08:25

that the lack of transparency is

definitely problematic.

Winnie

0:08:250:08:32

Gassman to go in undercover. We

could get a TV series. -- were need

0:08:320:08:41

Yasmin to go in undercover.

One of

the smaller stories at the bottom

0:08:410:08:49

here, the NHS and record numbers of

dying of malnutrition.

This story is

0:08:490:08:55

kind of... There is half the story

essentially on the front page and we

0:08:550:08:59

don't know the full details of what

the numbers allude to however 351

0:08:590:09:05

patients with malnutrition listed on

the death certificate in 2016 which

0:09:050:09:09

is rather frightening. It sounds

like quite a large number. Looking

0:09:090:09:13

at it, what we do not know is what

that means. There is a suggestion in

0:09:130:09:18

the story that people are already

arriving in hospital with nutrition

0:09:180:09:22

issues. My mother was in hospital

last year for five months and she

0:09:220:09:29

must have done that menu round and

round on the loop. She lost nearly

0:09:290:09:33

five stone while she was there. It

is a challenge for people to eat.

0:09:330:09:38

And as families become more

desperate unique visitors to come in

0:09:380:09:43

and help encourage people to eat

because nurses do not have the time.

0:09:430:09:48

This suggests that more should be

done to ensure vulnerable and

0:09:480:09:52

elderly patients receive help. But

who have time?

There are a lot of

0:09:520:09:59

young retired people, young in body

and spirit, I am sure that would

0:09:590:10:05

help if they set up a group. It does

take time. I went to see my hospital

0:10:050:10:11

-- sister in hospital today and she

had not eaten nothing. I tried to

0:10:110:10:15

get her to eat. I did not hang

around for a long time because I

0:10:150:10:19

couldn't. And then I went away

feeling terrible. If I had stayed,

0:10:190:10:25

maybe she would have eaten. She had

just decided she would not eat.

And

0:10:250:10:31

in all fairness to the NHS, they

have invested heavily in improving

0:10:310:10:35

menus. On the whole it is not

actually the food that is the issue,

0:10:350:10:39

it is more about the patient and the

experience in there.

Many elderly

0:10:390:10:44

people decide that that is the way

they can hasten the end.

They make a

0:10:440:10:50

conscious decision. An interesting

thought there. Stand now with

0:10:500:10:54

health, men still dying of

embarrassment in the Daily Mail.

0:10:540:11:00

This is prostate cancer. An

important story. The Daily Mail are

0:11:000:11:05

adopting a campaign on this.

Essentially, they say that men are

0:11:050:11:10

still dying of embarrassment and the

idea is that they are to a Barrass

0:11:100:11:14

to visit a doctor with prostate

cancer symptoms. There was a story

0:11:140:11:17

last week was saying that prostate

cancer has become a bigger killer

0:11:170:11:25

now than breast cancer. This story

of talks about people from the

0:11:250:11:32

sector explaining that now there is

half the funding and half the

0:11:320:11:37

research that goes into this cancer

and yet it is such a big killer. We

0:11:370:11:44

have almost seen breast cancer take

off with lots of events and themed

0:11:440:11:48

months and that sort of thing but

men have symptoms that can often be

0:11:480:11:55

sensitive things they do not want to

talk about. Women will go down to

0:11:550:11:58

the pub or be in a gym and talk

about a lump they found. Someone

0:11:580:12:02

will tell them what to do, men are

not necessarily going to talk about

0:12:020:12:07

some of the symptoms involving

prostate cancer.

I am pleased that

0:12:070:12:13

the Daily Mail is doing this

campaign because campaigning has

0:12:130:12:17

been at a very. You see posters of

famous men saying going get yourself

0:12:170:12:22

checked out. Actually, what has been

great about the women, and maybe men

0:12:220:12:28

should learn from this, is that they

make these campaigns at exciting,

0:12:280:12:33

interesting and shame free. It can

be done. Many young men need to

0:12:330:12:38

start...

Yes. From the younger

generation.

We should do

0:12:380:12:42

comparisons. The women got all the

resources, that kind of talk is

0:12:420:12:47

happening a lot on Twitter at the

moment. We are all human.

It is not

0:12:470:12:52

a competition. The housewives

favourite paper, the Daily Mail,

0:12:520:12:57

this is about talking to women and

telling them they need to remind the

0:12:570:13:01

men in their life but this is

something going on. You need to go

0:13:010:13:06

to the toilet three times in the

last couple of days, are you sure

0:13:060:13:10

something is right? This is where

women will play a major part of.

And

0:13:100:13:20

Yasmin, the Daily Express talking

about a killer phrase lasting ten

0:13:200:13:23

days. Scary weather on the way. We

will be inconvenienced.

I think

0:13:230:13:28

there are so many people who will be

at risk now. The homeless, who we

0:13:280:13:37

see all around London and there has

been a phenomenal increase in

0:13:370:13:40

Manchester and in Edinburgh and all

sorts of cities. I don't know how

0:13:400:13:46

many of them will die. Just simply

die of the cold. You can not survive

0:13:460:13:51

these temperatures all-night. Then

there is also, as said earlier poor

0:13:510:13:59

families cannot afford to heat their

homes. They could not even hit the

0:13:590:14:03

kettle too many times to fill a hot

water bottle. Young asthmatic

0:14:030:14:06

children... I think we should really

be collating information on those

0:14:060:14:14

who are not getting adequate

heating.

I must say, as a parent of

0:14:140:14:18

the younger child, I must say that

sometimes, however, these cold snaps

0:14:180:14:23

can be helpful because they can kill

off many bugs, many viruses and

0:14:230:14:27

things that appear in mild weather.

One of my sons classes this week had

0:14:270:14:36

six or seven children of. It is a

prime virus time of year. I'm about

0:14:360:14:42

to go to Norway next week so it

least I have the codes for it.

There

0:14:420:14:46

we are. Will -- whether you end --

like it or not we end with the cold

0:14:460:14:57

weather. Remember you can see it all

seven days a week on the BBC

0:14:570:15:03

website. If you missed the programme

you can watch that later on BBC

0:15:030:15:07

iPlayer a. Thank you to my guess is,

thank you -- thank you to my guess

0:15:070:15:15

tos, thank you for joining us.
