0:00:01 > 0:00:05the Churchill family and of course, once again, BAFTA. I am so grateful

0:00:05 > 0:00:10for this incredible honour, thank you.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

0:00:22 > 0:00:23bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25With me are the former Conservative Adviser,

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Giles Kenningham and Torcuil Crichton, Political Editor

0:00:27 > 0:00:29at The Daily Record.

0:00:29 > 0:00:35Let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38The Financial Times is leading with a story about Donald Trump

0:00:38 > 0:00:41lashing out at the FBI and his national security advisers

0:00:41 > 0:00:46over the Russia investigation.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49A pensions boost for millions.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53The Daily Express says pensions experts are hailing a "perfect

0:00:53 > 0:00:54cocktail" of conditions that have boosted many company schemes.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58The 'I' focusses on the new review of university tuition fees saying

0:00:58 > 0:00:59the reforms will be divisive.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Power dressing at the BAFTAS.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02The Telegraph pictures British

0:01:02 > 0:01:04actress Florence Pugh who joined other celebrities dressing

0:01:04 > 0:01:06in all black at tonight's Bafta awards, in solidarity

0:01:06 > 0:01:09with the Time's Up movement and victims of sexual assault

0:01:09 > 0:01:14and harassment.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17The Metro also leads on tuition fees with a quote from the Prime Minister

0:01:18 > 0:01:21saying 'uni fees unfair and poor value.'

0:01:22 > 0:01:25The Mirror shows a picture of Keira Ball, who died in a car

0:01:25 > 0:01:30crash, whose heart helped save the life of a 10 year old boy.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32The Guardian also focusses on tuition fees saying that

0:01:32 > 0:01:35proposals to reduce charges for cheaper courses is deemed

0:01:35 > 0:01:38'unworkable' by critics.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And The Times says that savers are losing millions to retirement

0:01:41 > 0:01:44fraudsters with a surge in cyber criminals targeting pension pots.

0:01:44 > 0:01:51So a mix of stories there in tomorrow's papers.

0:01:51 > 0:01:59We will begin with university tuition fees. The Guardian's

0:01:59 > 0:02:03reporting that is a is warning to universities over high cost. Some

0:02:03 > 0:02:08courses might become cheaper?Yes, all part of the Tories overhaul of

0:02:08 > 0:02:13tuition fees in an attempt to woo the youth vote. She is saying that

0:02:13 > 0:02:19some subjects the fees should be dictated to by their market value to

0:02:19 > 0:02:24the economy. Interestingly, the Guardian have a chart here were

0:02:24 > 0:02:29saying if you studied medicine and dentistry you are looking to rake in

0:02:29 > 0:02:34about $35,000 when you leave, if you do art and design you are looking at

0:02:34 > 0:02:39about £20,000. There are some other sensible things in the proposals

0:02:39 > 0:02:44that they are rolling out. A push towards more degrees which last two

0:02:44 > 0:02:52years with a vocational aspect. Looking at a cap on fees. I have to

0:02:52 > 0:02:55say, I did my own degrees which lasted for years, it deftly could

0:02:55 > 0:03:01have been done within two years. Sensible, but these are ideas and

0:03:01 > 0:03:04not policy.The Labour Party said they would scrap tuition fees

0:03:04 > 0:03:15altogether and bring us in line with Scottish universities.It was 11

0:03:15 > 0:03:19billion when he looked at it and it would cost more now, would you spend

0:03:19 > 0:03:23that if you are getting a middle-class subsidy or would you

0:03:23 > 0:03:27put it at the other end at the start of schooling, with kids from

0:03:27 > 0:03:33working-class areas to boost them to get into university in the first

0:03:33 > 0:03:36place. It is interesting in the first instance because it is not

0:03:36 > 0:03:44about Brexit. A story about Theresa May and the UK government. It is the

0:03:44 > 0:03:48first time we have heard the government on the front foot on a

0:03:48 > 0:03:57domestic story.I thought he was very surefooted, he gave a great

0:03:57 > 0:04:01interview on the Sunday Times, everybody talking him up as a future

0:04:01 > 0:04:05leader, very sensible and pragmatic. He is out on Sunday, the headlines

0:04:05 > 0:04:10on Monday morning she will make a speech tomorrow morning. She sang

0:04:10 > 0:04:19the university fees are too high. -- saying. A lot of people having a go

0:04:19 > 0:04:24at that as well, there has been blowback already from Justin

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Greening, who was sacked as education Secretary and from

0:04:27 > 0:04:32universities UK in the eye.Let's look at that because the headline is

0:04:32 > 0:04:36tuition fee reform will be divisive. Penalising poorer students and they

0:04:36 > 0:04:42have got to do something to address the interest rate that you pay on

0:04:42 > 0:04:47these loans.Yes, because these are only one part of it. There is fees

0:04:47 > 0:04:51and then the loans you take out to survive because they have

0:04:51 > 0:04:56maintenance grants. Then the amount of money that universities rake in

0:04:56 > 0:05:00from foreign students and the amount of money that universities pay to

0:05:00 > 0:05:08themselves.You make a good point, none of this is costed so how will

0:05:08 > 0:05:12we pay for it? Is no detail at this point. I suspect the government will

0:05:12 > 0:05:17hide behind the fact that there is a review going on. With Jeremy Corbyn,

0:05:17 > 0:05:21he said it will be free tuition fees, after the election they go

0:05:21 > 0:05:27back and say it is an ambition, not eight promised.-- not a promise of.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31It is a huge amount of money that universities have gotten used to

0:05:31 > 0:05:36having.It is the wrong end of the Marsh. If you want to get more

0:05:36 > 0:05:42people in, or more poor kids from working-class areas into university

0:05:42 > 0:05:47you spend money on education at the beginning of their lives not when

0:05:47 > 0:05:52you are giving middle-class subsidies.Let's look at the time.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55We have got a couple of stories about pensions in different guises

0:05:55 > 0:06:00here. The Times is saying that savers lose millions to retirement

0:06:00 > 0:06:05fraudsters, targeting pension pots online.An incredible story, says

0:06:05 > 0:06:14the law changed in 2015, people over 50 but access and can choose what

0:06:14 > 0:06:18they want to do. People have gone and advising people on how to spend

0:06:18 > 0:06:23their money. A huge fraud industry has gone up attending, cloning

0:06:23 > 0:06:29themselves online, cold calling people and fraud in people out of

0:06:29 > 0:06:34money. They set up websites that look like legitimate high-street

0:06:34 > 0:06:41names getting people to get their pension pot out and stick it into

0:06:41 > 0:06:46non- investment. The financial authority estimates that to an half

0:06:46 > 0:06:52million has been stolen in the last year from pension pot.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Fascinatingly, they have cloned the financial conduct authority 's

0:06:56 > 0:07:01website. If you go to check on their company against the site, it refers

0:07:01 > 0:07:05you to a clone website that tells you the company is legitimate.Which

0:07:05 > 0:07:12talk about how facts here -- they talk about Halifax being targeted.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17Big-name. What is interesting is, cyber security, the government will

0:07:17 > 0:07:24spend more on that. It is a new front.There is a huge amount of

0:07:24 > 0:07:29money sloshing around which in the past was safely stored away.It

0:07:29 > 0:07:39would have been locked up.It says here...Don't invest in anything

0:07:39 > 0:07:46else!They are not qualified to give advice. The Daily Express has a more

0:07:46 > 0:07:53positive story about pensions. Pensions boost the millions.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Deficits have gone down because of a perfect cocktail of conditions,

0:07:56 > 0:08:00apparently.They are saying the surge in the stock market has helped

0:08:00 > 0:08:04to replace £50 billion in deficit and comes as a huge relief to

0:08:04 > 0:08:11millions of employers in their final salary pensions scheme. Great but I

0:08:11 > 0:08:16think they miss out because the stock markets are quite volatile.

0:08:16 > 0:08:21Also, a lot of so what? Is this doesn't affect you tomorrow morning

0:08:21 > 0:08:26unless you are retiring tomorrow morning. It is a bit like pensions

0:08:26 > 0:08:30themselves, it is like never-never land. Let's put that to one side for

0:08:30 > 0:08:36another day.And a lot of people don't even have access to their

0:08:36 > 0:08:40pension scheme and never have.They are increasing in the minority,

0:08:40 > 0:08:47aren't they?Look at the Financial Times, Richard Hammond -- Philip

0:08:47 > 0:08:53Hammond to drop.We knew that there was going to be a smaller budget, we

0:08:53 > 0:09:00didn't know that small.The box office still being a somewhat ironic

0:09:00 > 0:09:07nickname. -- docs office filled. That was his nickname back on the

0:09:07 > 0:09:13day.Kind of ironic. He has picked the net publicity box, it will be 15

0:09:13 > 0:09:23minutes long, no red Ox is. -- box. Did in the previous chancellors toy

0:09:23 > 0:09:27with the idea of not bothering with it any more?There was the whole

0:09:27 > 0:09:31thing about having one budget a year, most advanced economies in the

0:09:31 > 0:09:35West only have one.We have two because Gordon Brown wanted two

0:09:35 > 0:09:42hits.The only thing I would say against that is that at the moment

0:09:42 > 0:09:47we are in a huge time of uncertainty but it might be a good idea that we

0:09:47 > 0:09:52had a bit more than 20 minutes to reassure the world that we are a

0:09:52 > 0:10:01good place to invest. I am sure Phil it -- I am sure Phil knows best. You

0:10:01 > 0:10:06guys will fill the void with a lot of speculation.The budget used to

0:10:06 > 0:10:10be the use day in Westminster now they want to take it off.Is still

0:10:10 > 0:10:1624 hours a day of light and continuous use channels to sell.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Thanks very much Philip Hammond. The Telegraph is where we will finish.

0:10:20 > 0:10:30Power dressing at the BAFTA's. This is an actress looking defiant in

0:10:30 > 0:10:36support of the movement to tackle sexual harassment in the film

0:10:36 > 0:10:42industry and in particular she is also wearing black like a lot of

0:10:42 > 0:10:47people chose to do on the red carpet.Power dressing at best, most

0:10:47 > 0:10:54of the female guest we're chose to wear black. They chose it to put

0:10:54 > 0:11:02focus on to the meat to campaign and culture of abuse of power and sexual

0:11:02 > 0:11:07harassment. -- Apra to. They want to change that and they will but as we

0:11:07 > 0:11:11were saying earlier on, these things don't change at award ceremonies,

0:11:11 > 0:11:16they change earlier on in industry and earlier on in the development of

0:11:16 > 0:11:20movies and scripts who has the power on who green lights movies, who

0:11:20 > 0:11:24writes movies and directs them.I know it feels like there is a

0:11:24 > 0:11:30sizeable shift going on in relation to tackling inequality, sexism, it

0:11:30 > 0:11:34is not just isolated towards the film industry, it is spilling out of

0:11:34 > 0:11:39a charity set and politics and into many other films.The actress

0:11:39 > 0:11:49pictured there, with two of the women from the date on...Two of

0:11:49 > 0:12:00them. -- Dagenham. The Dagenham strike was all about equal pay, it

0:12:00 > 0:12:04was good in name but not good in nature because women are still

0:12:04 > 0:12:12earning less. It was nice to take along these two women.Part of a

0:12:12 > 0:12:15campaign from so long ago that is still not complete. Let's finish

0:12:15 > 0:12:19with hidden calories fuelling obesity. Don't nibble on anything

0:12:19 > 0:12:25before you go to bed. We are all eating too much but particularly men

0:12:25 > 0:12:28do.We are the worst offenders. Apparently an obesity crisis is

0:12:28 > 0:12:34being filled by the average person eating 50% more calories than they

0:12:34 > 0:12:39realise that has come down to lack of portion control and people eating

0:12:39 > 0:12:46more meals outside of the home. I am definitely on the fence.That is

0:12:46 > 0:12:54good of you to declare that.It is a good old STAT story. Where are they

0:12:54 > 0:13:01from? They are from an official STAT agency. They asked people to

0:13:01 > 0:13:04estimate how much there were eating over a four-day period and men

0:13:04 > 0:13:08estimated they were eating 2000 calories per day, in fact they were

0:13:08 > 0:13:133500. The women estimated they were eating thousand 500 and were eating

0:13:13 > 0:13:19just over 2000.What I find is that Britain is the fattest country in

0:13:19 > 0:13:24western Europe, which I didn't realise. The sugar tax is coming

0:13:24 > 0:13:29into force in April, which they reckon will rake in £520 million,

0:13:29 > 0:13:35which will be earmarked to get sports in primary schools, getting

0:13:35 > 0:13:41kids at its. Clearly it is a problem. We hear stories every day

0:13:41 > 0:13:46about the obesity crisis.It is a worldwide problem, other countries

0:13:46 > 0:13:56have got the sugar tax in, it does seem to work. In the 1970s, talking

0:13:56 > 0:13:59about Dagenham and their workers, 2% of the population were obese, now it

0:13:59 > 0:14:02is 45%. -- 25%.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04That's it for The Papers tonight.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

0:14:07 > 0:14:09on the BBC News website.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16later on BBC iPlayer.
