03/03/2018 The Papers

in Russia after football's lawmakers

voted to approve the technology.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are journalist

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

and Penny Smith, who is

a journalist and broadcaster.

Nice to have you both here.

Many of tomorrow's front

pages are already in.

At this time of the night, you would

hope so, hey?

While the Beast from the East

subsides and the snow melts,

The Observer takes stock

of the financial cost the wintry

weather has taken on the country,

suggesting it's cost us one billion

pounds per day.

The Sunday Times leads

on an investigation in to how

internet giants may be

implicated in the trafficking

of vulnerable women.

The paper also looks ahead

to tomorrow night's Oscars

with a picture of Gary Oldman,

who has the Best Actor nod

for playing the part

of Winston Churchill.

The actor also takes centrestage

on the front of The Telegraph,

alongside the paper's top story

which looks at the way BBC

presenters' salaries are taxed.

The top story for the Mail

is the latest gossip

from within Theresa May's cabinet.

So, no clear consensus on a top

story for the Sunday papers,

but a couple are looking ahead

to tomorrow night's Oscars ceremony.

Let's start with the Observer,

adding up how much this it freeze

has cost us, apparently £1 billion a

day as fears mounted GDP growth.

Things like insurance costs,

disruptions, you know.

As the snow

melts you can see the waiters

ravaged many of the Main Roads.

Potholes.

Freeze thaw action. That

is the geography speaking.

The

built-up areas is 5.9%, I checked.

How much of Britain's land...

It is

still tiny.

Best from the East

hitting construction, schools,

transport, construction...

Accidents, people have fallen, the

emergency department have had

immense pressure, due no, I also

think about all of those people who

have not been able to heat their

homes, who will be, no money cases

have gone up, so it is a huge thing.

Well, that'll comes into costs

because if you have no money

obviously you cannot work and you

cannot be productive but they are

saying construction could lose up to

£2 billion over the three worst days

because of course nobody could do

any work. And there may have

transport and retail of course also

suffering, which you think about the

obviously no one was going into

shops because it was too cold and

most people were told to stay at

home.

The clever voice in my ear,

rock, reliably tells me, I'm not

sure where from, please give me a

source if you can, GDP is from the

office of National statistics. --

Rob. Thank you, very reliable. One

fifth we are losing. It is a lot of

money.

When you look at that, and I

thought the figure was staggering,

it is the most costly weather event

since 2010 when we have that

freezing week before Christmas. That

is only eight years ago so it is

obviously not that unusual to

have...

I don't ever remember it

being like this. I just don't ever

remember it.

Really?

I just don't. I

remember the very hot summers of the

'70s and so on.

You ignore the cold

areas?

Perhaps I feel the cold more.

Cars freezing in five or ten

minutes, I went out to get something

from the local shops and I couldn't

open the door, I have never known it

like that and I think those poor

people on the street! O! They could

not have survived.

Sunday Times.

Crackdown on councils, they are not

building enough houses, the

government is liking.

To the

government's liking. What they are

saying is that if he refuses the

council to build these homes, you

will be stripped of your right to

decide where they are construct did

and this is a revolution in planning

laws to be unveiled tomorrow, this

is an interview with the Sunday

Times, the Housing Secretary, saying

councils will be given higher

targets for homes to be built and

those who fail will have the

planning powers removed. They are

planning on building two towns

between Oxford and...

The thing is

until how long? Until recently the

pressure on councils not to spend on

infrastructure, you know, the

government, on the coalition

onwards, they were not allowed to,

and now they can do that, and they

are so cash strapped at the moment,

councils.

They are being asked to

build the houses, are they?

Just

approved them? Oh, is that it?

Yes,

yes, they are not funding council

houses all of a sudden full top of

his private construction firms being

encouraged.

Or that I have another

objection!

Of course you do!

This

deregulation bunk this is dangerous

because the planning a purpose.

Yes

it does.

It is not all about

authoritarianism and whatever. I

think if we give up on planning

permission of course all of us have

been through a bit with the council

because you cannot get the tree you

want to cut down or whatever but

they are right and actually, there

is a move now and it links to the

one of the other stories we will do,

but we can do what we want, we did

the regulations. I think it would be

a terrible thing.

And here is that

Lourey. It is a bit like we thought

this through. Hang on, Penny,

please. I know you are TV presenter

but come on! It is my show! The

Sunday Telegraph, to abolish 50 EU

rules, please explain.

First you

have to remember this is Sunday

Telegraph the obviously it is coming

from the viewpoint of being pro-

Brexit. And although it is saying

that both leaders and Remainers are

saying that after we have an picked

ourselves from Europe, all of a

sudden everything is going to be so

much easier -- Leavers. We will not

have red tape. Utterly without

cucumbers be allowed to be as curly

as they darned well like...

And

unable to build higgledy-piggledy of

things! It will look horrible!

Oh my

god! Planning has nothing to do with

the EU though.

Of course not! That

was going to be my point! The

planning permission is...

I will

stop interrupting.

Yes, please!

Almost all of the local and National

our government.

This is about taking

back control and releasing ourselves

from regulations and direct gives...

I like the bondage.

They are saying

at the moment that builders for

example construction council homes

and putting, the dictats from Europe

are telling us what to do, they are

not saying he was doing this or

anything else, it is all about

signing off a new major trade on

much-needed infrastructure related

to railway systems or else it would

be tangled in red tape and covered

in red tape.

Hold on. I sat and

listened to all of Theresa May's

speech yesterday and she was saying

a lot of the records realignment

will need to be kept if we want to

do trade with Europe, as we

certainly do, but not under the same

terms. The regulations which are

necessary for that would be part of

this 50.

No.

Yes.

And there we have

Steve Bannon, and hope we know who

Steve Bailey news, this man who is

very...

It has got nothing to do

with this.

He has written in the

Telegraph said that Brussels has

been viciously dismissive!

I

shouldn't say that at...

I do think

he has much to do with the price of

fish but there you go.

The Telegraph

love that, it is on the front page!

That we find this out. Shadow

Secretary of State for housing has

said that this year policy shows

that policies -- they have no plans

to fix the housing policy. It is a

fault of Whitehall not town halls.

Since 2010 Ross Lee ping has more

than doubles, the number of new

homes being built still has not

recovered to prerecession levels.

Well, the Independent. The headline.

Goodness me. So rude tonight. The

Tories quietly shelved benefit

sanctions reform, yellow card plan

prevent poorest being unfair, Doctor

says a positively by Rob are pleased

to see around his desk some nights.

What are the reforms?

This is being

going on for a long time. It is like

a Catch-22, people do need this

university credits and other

benefits have been caught in this

vicious, vicious trap, actually,

they have to pass all these tests

and then suddenly they fail one bit

of them and there are these dreadful

stories about somebody in hospital,

somebody not being able to attend an

interview, and then they are denied

their basic living money. And you

know, it was never fiction, I think,

we know it is happening.

It was

meant to be in October 15 Ian Botham

Speight introduced the idea of the

yellow card, in other words, really

to say can I just raise the yellow

card, I think I have been wrongly

given the wrong amount, the wrong

decision on this sort of thing, and

he said that there was going to be,

and then, they have quietly shelved

this reform, the yellow card plan,

and...

The evaluation proved to be

too complex.

Can you imagine that?

How could they possibly mean that?

People 's lives are dependent on

this!

It was supposed to be a

universal benefit and was meant to

sort it out.

Exactly!

It was the

president all these disparate

elements and sort it out but Frank

Field for example the chairman of

the Commons Work and Pensions...

He

is very good on this.

It has

highlighted the appalling distress

that some people are in anti- talks

about one place where somebody was

having an operation at the time when

he was given this decision and came

out, appealed the decision,

obviously it was upheld, and by that

time he had already been evicted and

somebody else was in emergency going

in for a major surgery and was

shouting at everybody please, find

Work and Pensions, I need to get

this sorted before I go in and

again, serious problem.

It is

orphaned -- awful and Iain Duncan

Smith created this policy and he now

says it cannot be evaluated, then

actually, he has got to be pulled

before some committee to answer

questions about what he did!

He

isn't overseeing it any more, is he?

But he created it and is still

defending its!

Moving on to

something different, the Mail on

Sunday has a picture of the very

lovely Susan constant time on the

front page formerly of the Susannah

and Trini. I am now as skinny as

Trini.

Yes, well, Yasmin, if you

would like to... You said is this

news? It is a front-page story. Is

it really?

We are encouraged to look

on pages 20 and 21 to find out how

she did it.

I don't have to know. I

probably have some kind of idea.

Go

on.

Moved a bit more. That is how I

did it. It is magic, the only way.

So we should have you on the front

page!

Shouldn't we just?

In my

handmade frock? Home-made frock was

to mark that tape is nice to a final

item on the Observer, talking about

Paris fashion week.

Penny, Penny...

What she is wearing... This is a

concoction by Vivienne Westwood.

By

her husband apparently. It is a

Marsh to his wife.

Sorry! -- homage.

It is lovely! If I was younger, I

would. I think it is great!

Penny

would make that to you.

My immediate

thought was you rip up a whole lot

of stuff and tack it on and...

It is

a bit like a curtain. But unlike

its!

Also, you slash up to him

around the top and do a bit of

cutting and...

You make it sound

very simple, this is haute couture!

It is like a housecoat, you just

wrap it around, curtains are very

nice. I do like it.

The thing I like

is the upsidedown yellow legs.

I

have no idea. Growing up in a family

of hose re- manufacturers, it

reminds me of the model averagely

that were used to have in the

factory that you could put a pair of

stockings on or of Python and they

would, you check they fit --

hosiery.

Why do they have an average

lake?

One leg sticking up off the

leg desk.

Did I have a foot? Is

there such a thing as an average

leg?

By parents may still have that

tucked away at home. Painted yellow.

That is all from us.

Don't forget, you can see the front

pages of the papers online

on the BBC News website.

It's all there for you -

seven days a week at

BBC.co.uk/papers

and if you miss the programme any

evening, you can watch it

later on BBC iPlayer.

Thank you and goodbye.
