0:00:15 > 0:00:16Hello and welcome to our look ahead

0:00:16 > 0:00:20to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:20 > 0:00:21With me are Sebastian Payne,

0:00:21 > 0:00:24Political Leader Writer at the Financial Times

0:00:24 > 0:00:26and Dia Chakravarty, Brexit Editor at the Telegraph.

0:00:26 > 0:00:35Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.

0:00:35 > 0:00:40The Metro leads on the story of the five-year-old who died after being

0:00:40 > 0:00:45turned away from a GP appointment because she was late. Tamara's

0:00:45 > 0:00:51express warns of the blizzards set to sweep the country. So cold, the

0:00:51 > 0:00:56sea has frozen at Weston-Super-Mare. It is cold outside, but the

0:00:56 > 0:01:03financial Times says there is heat on Theresa May as Jeremy Corbyn

0:01:03 > 0:01:06plans an alliance with rebel Conservatives as he plans to keep

0:01:06 > 0:01:10the country in a customs union with the European Union. The Daily

0:01:10 > 0:01:15Telegraph points the finger at the rail companies, saying operators are

0:01:15 > 0:01:21profiting from compensation and counselling services -- compensation

0:01:21 > 0:01:28from cancelling services for passengers.

0:01:28 > 0:01:36And the sun has gone with the great British flake off as snow is set to

0:01:36 > 0:01:44disrupt travel. Let's have a closer look at those.

0:01:44 > 0:01:55Welcome to Sebastien and ten two. -- and Dia.

0:01:59 > 0:02:06Jeremy Corbyn's big speech yesterday.We now know that Labour

0:02:06 > 0:02:12is supporting a position where we are to remain permanently in some

0:02:12 > 0:02:23sort of customs union. Jeremy Corbyn said was to be some form of customs

0:02:23 > 0:02:29union. Where we allow the EU to do trade deals with the rest of the

0:02:29 > 0:02:34world on our behalf. But as far as Jeremy Corbyn is concerned, that is

0:02:34 > 0:02:37one way of getting around the Northern Ireland question, about

0:02:37 > 0:02:43having a border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland,

0:02:43 > 0:02:49and also having frictionless trade with the European Union. But it is

0:02:49 > 0:02:54Sebastien's story.Just looking at this story here, do we think that

0:02:54 > 0:02:59some of these rebel Tories will really side with Labour? The FT

0:02:59 > 0:03:05seems to suggest they will be.The story is whether this will mean

0:03:05 > 0:03:08anything. Jeremy Corbyn is not in power at the moment. The only way

0:03:08 > 0:03:15this matters is because of the Parliamentary arithmetic. Theresa

0:03:15 > 0:03:24May has a gossamer majority, so she has to do a deal with Labour leaders

0:03:24 > 0:03:30and the DUP and so on. This is so important for the future of our

0:03:30 > 0:03:35country. That is for one approach EU conservative, who said they would

0:03:35 > 0:03:42vote for their conscience over the party interest. If she was to make

0:03:42 > 0:03:49it a confidence issue, she would play chicken with her MPs, asking if

0:03:49 > 0:03:53they were going to vote down, if they did that they would bring the

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Conservative government down. We will be hearing from on Friday. We

0:03:55 > 0:04:07will see how she responds.Do you see this as essentially a political

0:04:07 > 0:04:10move by Jeremy Corbyn, seizing the opportunity to make life more

0:04:10 > 0:04:17difficult?I see nothing wrong with that. He is the opposition leader.

0:04:17 > 0:04:24For a long time, the criticism we had, or that we have heard quite a

0:04:24 > 0:04:27lot, about Jeremy Corbyn is he is not interested in taking power and

0:04:27 > 0:04:32doing anything. He is always talking the big talk and not doing anything.

0:04:32 > 0:04:42Here he is, in a position where he himself... I doubt whether he thinks

0:04:42 > 0:04:45he can get this through the EU if it came to that. It was an interesting

0:04:45 > 0:04:50quote in that article from Frank Field, who is also saying that he

0:04:50 > 0:04:55doesn't think the EU will accept this proposition, but he is still

0:04:55 > 0:04:57liking what is beta is doing to Theresa May, whose position is

0:04:57 > 0:05:03weakened since the last election. Just to add something, I wonder

0:05:03 > 0:05:08whether if Jeremy Corbyn leases new starts as well. He is an on reform

0:05:08 > 0:05:14socialist who doesn't like the EU, thinks it's a capitalist club that

0:05:14 > 0:05:18is run by corporate interests. He can see a political opportunity here

0:05:18 > 0:05:23to put some water between Labour and the Conservatives. I think that

0:05:23 > 0:05:27makes sense politically, but in terms of what he wants from Brexit,

0:05:27 > 0:05:33one of the things he spoke about was reforming state a draw. He wants to

0:05:33 > 0:05:40prop up the steel industry, but the EU won't countenance that at all.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45The other Brexit story on the front pages of the Daily Telegraph, saying

0:05:45 > 0:05:52Brussels demand Northern Ireland keys EU rules. This is part of the

0:05:52 > 0:05:57technical text that will come out, putting into legal terms the deal

0:05:57 > 0:06:05that was done at the end of last year.in December, Britain said that

0:06:05 > 0:06:11we were going to suggest technological solutions to a

0:06:11 > 0:06:19frictionless border, talking about numberplate recognition and trading

0:06:19 > 0:06:23schemes and so on. What we are hearing is that, on Thursday, the EU

0:06:23 > 0:06:35will publish... Will it be Wednesday or Thursday? Wednesday. Publishing a

0:06:35 > 0:06:39paper where the EU built them aren't that essentially we leave Northern

0:06:39 > 0:06:44Ireland in the EU when the rest of the UK come out of the EU, because

0:06:44 > 0:06:52Northern Ireland in that paper, it will be demanded that it would be

0:06:52 > 0:06:59under the ECJ jurisdiction, which would essentially mean that it would

0:06:59 > 0:07:03still be ruled by the EU while the rest of us would not be. That would

0:07:03 > 0:07:09create a huge problem for all of us, but also specifically for the DUP,

0:07:09 > 0:07:15who are propping up the Government at the moment.That is the Gordian

0:07:15 > 0:07:19knot of this situation. Nobody knows how to solve this. What

0:07:19 > 0:07:21conservatives have not realised is what they signed up to back in

0:07:21 > 0:07:28December. And they should come up with a solution that satisfies the

0:07:28 > 0:07:38EU legal framework, it is the status quo.The same regulations north and

0:07:38 > 0:07:43south of the border?Exactly. Trading and Customs can't change at

0:07:43 > 0:07:48all. It is very much over to Mrs May to say what she is going to do. What

0:07:48 > 0:08:04the EU is doing here is crafty, they try to move the border from between

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland two between the island of

0:08:08 > 0:08:18Ireland and the UK. Some of the consequences that could lead to are

0:08:18 > 0:08:22unthinkable. It is certainly playing with fire.There is so much Brexit

0:08:22 > 0:08:27to talk about as ever. Lots of other stories to get through. Let's take a

0:08:27 > 0:08:34book at the metro here, talking about five minutes that cost my girl

0:08:34 > 0:08:38her life, that is a dramatic headline they come up with.An

0:08:38 > 0:08:42extraordinary story, a doctor has been condemned for turning away this

0:08:42 > 0:08:45girl who was five minutes late for an appointment at her surgery, and

0:08:45 > 0:08:52who then collapsed and died in hospital. The doctor missed the

0:08:52 > 0:08:55opportunity to provide life-saving treatment. As with all these things,

0:08:55 > 0:08:59you don't actually know what happens. One of the things that

0:08:59 > 0:09:02happens is when you have these systems are trying to make targets,

0:09:02 > 0:09:07trying to see times, it can have unintended consequences. This doctor

0:09:07 > 0:09:11will be living for the rest of her life with the knowledge that this

0:09:11 > 0:09:15girl could have been saved, had she been seen, and recognise the fact

0:09:15 > 0:09:19that she was wheezing and struggling to walk into the surgery. It is a

0:09:19 > 0:09:24sad one, but these things happen when you have got very busy and

0:09:24 > 0:09:28pressured health systems.Let's take a look at the Guardian. An

0:09:28 > 0:09:36interesting story that we talked about earlier here on BBC News, four

0:09:36 > 0:09:45far right plots foiled in 2017, says an anti-terror chief.It is the

0:09:45 > 0:09:51short version of the front page here. Exactly as you said, the

0:09:51 > 0:09:56outgoing assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan police, saying that

0:09:56 > 0:10:01some of the terawatts they had been dealing with, four of those work

0:10:01 > 0:10:06from far right extremists. Later in the article, it says that a third of

0:10:06 > 0:10:19referrals to the Prevent strategy are actually aimed at reducing

0:10:19 > 0:10:29terrorism all forms, were actually referring far right extremists. In

0:10:29 > 0:10:34effect, they are the same form of terrorism. They are feeding off each

0:10:34 > 0:10:39other and we are seeing organisation on the part of the far right

0:10:39 > 0:10:42extremists, which previously we had not seen.Until now, it has been

0:10:42 > 0:10:48Islamists plots that have been seizing the headlights. Behind some

0:10:48 > 0:10:52of the serious attacks that we have seen in this country as well.If we

0:10:52 > 0:10:57think back to Britain first, a far right group in Britain, they were

0:10:57 > 0:11:08very infamously tweeted by Donald Trump. He was in a way giving

0:11:08 > 0:11:11legitimacy to these groups that are reaching into society. They are

0:11:11 > 0:11:15organising so well, they are using social media to spread their

0:11:15 > 0:11:21ideology of hatred, and finding a receptive audience. It is a

0:11:21 > 0:11:25difficult one. We have had a lot of stories about Facebook and Google

0:11:25 > 0:11:29and Twitter doing more about these things and working with the

0:11:29 > 0:11:34authorities. I'm sure Mr Rowley would like to see more corporation

0:11:34 > 0:11:39from the social media companies. They do need to take an active role

0:11:39 > 0:11:44in that. The Government scheme is something that is much criticised,

0:11:44 > 0:11:49but it is doing a good job, clearly. We are running out of time, but we

0:11:49 > 0:11:54couldn't go without a quick mention of the snow, which makes a few of

0:11:54 > 0:12:02the front pages here. The daily Star, one of many that has got a

0:12:02 > 0:12:05picture that of a train in the snow, just reflecting some of the

0:12:05 > 0:12:08difficulties that there will be for commuters in the morning, as well as

0:12:08 > 0:12:14to night.We have had quite a difficult day today for a lot of

0:12:14 > 0:12:18people who have suffered because of this sudden snow that we have seen.

0:12:18 > 0:12:24Often, we hear that we deal very badly with a little bit of snow.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28Look at how well Canada deal with it. That is a little unfair because

0:12:28 > 0:12:32we don't have to deal with it for the rest of the year, so do but lots

0:12:32 > 0:12:38of money into providing for these few days that things could go wrong,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41it is not the answer. It is also interesting to see how we will

0:12:41 > 0:12:48react. Apparently the snow has sparked panic buying, with one

0:12:48 > 0:12:57Sainsburys running out of bread due to the snow.As soon as one thing

0:12:57 > 0:13:01goes wrong, we dashed to the petrol stations, -- diverse chops to sure

0:13:01 > 0:13:10everything will be fine. The next few days will be interesting to

0:13:10 > 0:13:10watch.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13That's it for The Papers tonight.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

0:13:16 > 0:13:17on the BBC News website.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20It's all there for you, seven days a week

0:13:20 > 0:13:21at bbc.co.uk/papers.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23And if you miss the programme any evening,

0:13:23 > 0:13:32you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33Thank you to Sebastian Payne and Dia Chakravarty.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Goodbye.
