in Russia after football's lawmakers

voted to approve the technology.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be

0:00:170:00:20

bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:200:00:21

With me are journalist

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

0:00:210:00:22

and Penny Smith, who is

a journalist and broadcaster.

0:00:230:00:29

Nice to have you both here.

0:00:290:00:31

Many of tomorrow's front

pages are already in.

0:00:310:00:35

At this time of the night, you would

hope so, hey?

0:00:350:00:38

While the Beast from the East

subsides and the snow melts,

0:00:380:00:41

The Observer takes stock

of the financial cost the wintry

0:00:410:00:43

weather has taken on the country,

suggesting it's cost us one billion

0:00:440:00:47

pounds per day.

0:00:470:00:48

The Sunday Times leads

on an investigation in to how

0:00:480:00:50

internet giants may be

implicated in the trafficking

0:00:500:00:52

of vulnerable women.

0:00:520:00:53

The paper also looks ahead

to tomorrow night's Oscars

0:00:530:00:56

with a picture of Gary Oldman,

who has the Best Actor nod

0:00:560:00:59

for playing the part

of Winston Churchill.

0:00:590:01:01

The actor also takes centrestage

on the front of The Telegraph,

0:01:010:01:04

alongside the paper's top story

which looks at the way BBC

0:01:040:01:07

presenters' salaries are taxed.

0:01:070:01:08

The top story for the Mail

is the latest gossip

0:01:080:01:11

from within Theresa May's cabinet.

0:01:110:01:12

So, no clear consensus on a top

story for the Sunday papers,

0:01:120:01:15

but a couple are looking ahead

to tomorrow night's Oscars ceremony.

0:01:150:01:29

Let's start with the Observer,

adding up how much this it freeze

0:01:290:01:33

has cost us, apparently £1 billion a

day as fears mounted GDP growth.

0:01:330:01:37

Things like insurance costs,

disruptions, you know.

As the snow

0:01:370:01:44

melts you can see the waiters

ravaged many of the Main Roads.

0:01:440:01:48

Potholes.

Freeze thaw action. That

is the geography speaking.

The

0:01:480:01:56

built-up areas is 5.9%, I checked.

How much of Britain's land...

It is

0:01:560:02:05

still tiny.

Best from the East

hitting construction, schools,

0:02:050:02:11

transport, construction...

Accidents, people have fallen, the

0:02:110:02:21

emergency department have had

immense pressure, due no, I also

0:02:210:02:24

think about all of those people who

have not been able to heat their

0:02:240:02:28

homes, who will be, no money cases

have gone up, so it is a huge thing.

0:02:280:02:33

Well, that'll comes into costs

because if you have no money

0:02:330:02:38

obviously you cannot work and you

cannot be productive but they are

0:02:380:02:41

saying construction could lose up to

£2 billion over the three worst days

0:02:410:02:45

because of course nobody could do

any work. And there may have

0:02:450:02:49

transport and retail of course also

suffering, which you think about the

0:02:490:02:53

obviously no one was going into

shops because it was too cold and

0:02:530:02:56

most people were told to stay at

home.

The clever voice in my ear,

0:02:560:03:02

rock, reliably tells me, I'm not

sure where from, please give me a

0:03:020:03:07

source if you can, GDP is from the

office of National statistics. --

0:03:070:03:11

Rob. Thank you, very reliable. One

fifth we are losing. It is a lot of

0:03:110:03:17

money.

When you look at that, and I

thought the figure was staggering,

0:03:170:03:23

it is the most costly weather event

since 2010 when we have that

0:03:230:03:29

freezing week before Christmas. That

is only eight years ago so it is

0:03:290:03:34

obviously not that unusual to

have...

I don't ever remember it

0:03:340:03:38

being like this. I just don't ever

remember it.

Really?

I just don't. I

0:03:380:03:45

remember the very hot summers of the

'70s and so on.

You ignore the cold

0:03:450:03:50

areas?

Perhaps I feel the cold more.

Cars freezing in five or ten

0:03:500:03:56

minutes, I went out to get something

from the local shops and I couldn't

0:03:560:04:00

open the door, I have never known it

like that and I think those poor

0:04:000:04:04

people on the street! O! They could

not have survived.

Sunday Times.

0:04:040:04:11

Crackdown on councils, they are not

building enough houses, the

0:04:110:04:15

government is liking.

To the

government's liking. What they are

0:04:150:04:20

saying is that if he refuses the

council to build these homes, you

0:04:200:04:25

will be stripped of your right to

decide where they are construct did

0:04:250:04:29

and this is a revolution in planning

laws to be unveiled tomorrow, this

0:04:290:04:32

is an interview with the Sunday

Times, the Housing Secretary, saying

0:04:320:04:37

councils will be given higher

targets for homes to be built and

0:04:370:04:41

those who fail will have the

planning powers removed. They are

0:04:410:04:45

planning on building two towns

between Oxford and...

The thing is

0:04:450:04:49

until how long? Until recently the

pressure on councils not to spend on

0:04:490:04:55

infrastructure, you know, the

government, on the coalition

0:04:550:04:59

onwards, they were not allowed to,

and now they can do that, and they

0:04:590:05:03

are so cash strapped at the moment,

councils.

They are being asked to

0:05:030:05:07

build the houses, are they?

Just

approved them? Oh, is that it?

Yes,

0:05:070:05:14

yes, they are not funding council

houses all of a sudden full top of

0:05:140:05:19

his private construction firms being

encouraged.

Or that I have another

0:05:190:05:22

objection!

Of course you do!

This

deregulation bunk this is dangerous

0:05:220:05:29

because the planning a purpose.

Yes

it does.

It is not all about

0:05:290:05:36

authoritarianism and whatever. I

think if we give up on planning

0:05:360:05:39

permission of course all of us have

been through a bit with the council

0:05:390:05:43

because you cannot get the tree you

want to cut down or whatever but

0:05:430:05:47

they are right and actually, there

is a move now and it links to the

0:05:470:05:51

one of the other stories we will do,

but we can do what we want, we did

0:05:510:05:55

the regulations. I think it would be

a terrible thing.

And here is that

0:05:550:05:59

Lourey. It is a bit like we thought

this through. Hang on, Penny,

0:05:590:06:05

please. I know you are TV presenter

but come on! It is my show! The

0:06:050:06:12

Sunday Telegraph, to abolish 50 EU

rules, please explain.

First you

0:06:120:06:18

have to remember this is Sunday

Telegraph the obviously it is coming

0:06:180:06:22

from the viewpoint of being pro-

Brexit. And although it is saying

0:06:220:06:26

that both leaders and Remainers are

saying that after we have an picked

0:06:260:06:34

ourselves from Europe, all of a

sudden everything is going to be so

0:06:340:06:38

much easier -- Leavers. We will not

have red tape. Utterly without

0:06:380:06:43

cucumbers be allowed to be as curly

as they darned well like...

And

0:06:430:06:47

unable to build higgledy-piggledy of

things! It will look horrible!

Oh my

0:06:470:06:53

god! Planning has nothing to do with

the EU though.

Of course not! That

0:06:530:07:00

was going to be my point! The

planning permission is...

I will

0:07:000:07:04

stop interrupting.

Yes, please!

Almost all of the local and National

0:07:040:07:11

our government.

This is about taking

back control and releasing ourselves

0:07:110:07:15

from regulations and direct gives...

I like the bondage.

They are saying

0:07:150:07:23

at the moment that builders for

example construction council homes

0:07:230:07:26

and putting, the dictats from Europe

are telling us what to do, they are

0:07:260:07:36

not saying he was doing this or

anything else, it is all about

0:07:360:07:40

signing off a new major trade on

much-needed infrastructure related

0:07:400:07:43

to railway systems or else it would

be tangled in red tape and covered

0:07:430:07:47

in red tape.

Hold on. I sat and

listened to all of Theresa May's

0:07:470:07:51

speech yesterday and she was saying

a lot of the records realignment

0:07:510:07:56

will need to be kept if we want to

do trade with Europe, as we

0:07:560:08:00

certainly do, but not under the same

terms. The regulations which are

0:08:000:08:03

necessary for that would be part of

this 50.

No.

Yes.

And there we have

0:08:030:08:11

Steve Bannon, and hope we know who

Steve Bailey news, this man who is

0:08:110:08:15

very...

It has got nothing to do

with this.

He has written in the

0:08:150:08:20

Telegraph said that Brussels has

been viciously dismissive!

I

0:08:200:08:23

shouldn't say that at...

I do think

he has much to do with the price of

0:08:230:08:30

fish but there you go.

The Telegraph

love that, it is on the front page!

0:08:300:08:35

That we find this out. Shadow

Secretary of State for housing has

0:08:350:08:40

said that this year policy shows

that policies -- they have no plans

0:08:400:08:45

to fix the housing policy. It is a

fault of Whitehall not town halls.

0:08:450:08:53

Since 2010 Ross Lee ping has more

than doubles, the number of new

0:08:530:08:57

homes being built still has not

recovered to prerecession levels.

0:08:570:09:02

Well, the Independent. The headline.

Goodness me. So rude tonight. The

0:09:020:09:12

Tories quietly shelved benefit

sanctions reform, yellow card plan

0:09:120:09:17

prevent poorest being unfair, Doctor

says a positively by Rob are pleased

0:09:170:09:22

to see around his desk some nights.

What are the reforms?

This is being

0:09:220:09:28

going on for a long time. It is like

a Catch-22, people do need this

0:09:280:09:35

university credits and other

benefits have been caught in this

0:09:350:09:38

vicious, vicious trap, actually,

they have to pass all these tests

0:09:380:09:43

and then suddenly they fail one bit

of them and there are these dreadful

0:09:430:09:47

stories about somebody in hospital,

somebody not being able to attend an

0:09:470:09:52

interview, and then they are denied

their basic living money. And you

0:09:520:10:02

know, it was never fiction, I think,

we know it is happening.

It was

0:10:020:10:06

meant to be in October 15 Ian Botham

Speight introduced the idea of the

0:10:060:10:11

yellow card, in other words, really

to say can I just raise the yellow

0:10:110:10:16

card, I think I have been wrongly

given the wrong amount, the wrong

0:10:160:10:24

decision on this sort of thing, and

he said that there was going to be,

0:10:240:10:28

and then, they have quietly shelved

this reform, the yellow card plan,

0:10:280:10:33

and...

The evaluation proved to be

too complex.

Can you imagine that?

0:10:330:10:40

How could they possibly mean that?

People 's lives are dependent on

0:10:400:10:44

this!

It was supposed to be a

universal benefit and was meant to

0:10:440:10:48

sort it out.

Exactly!

It was the

president all these disparate

0:10:480:10:54

elements and sort it out but Frank

Field for example the chairman of

0:10:540:10:58

the Commons Work and Pensions...

He

is very good on this.

It has

0:10:580:11:05

highlighted the appalling distress

that some people are in anti- talks

0:11:050:11:08

about one place where somebody was

having an operation at the time when

0:11:080:11:12

he was given this decision and came

out, appealed the decision,

0:11:120:11:18

obviously it was upheld, and by that

time he had already been evicted and

0:11:180:11:22

somebody else was in emergency going

in for a major surgery and was

0:11:220:11:28

shouting at everybody please, find

Work and Pensions, I need to get

0:11:280:11:31

this sorted before I go in and

again, serious problem.

It is

0:11:310:11:38

orphaned -- awful and Iain Duncan

Smith created this policy and he now

0:11:380:11:42

says it cannot be evaluated, then

actually, he has got to be pulled

0:11:420:11:47

before some committee to answer

questions about what he did!

He

0:11:470:11:51

isn't overseeing it any more, is he?

But he created it and is still

0:11:510:11:56

defending its!

Moving on to

something different, the Mail on

0:11:560:12:00

Sunday has a picture of the very

lovely Susan constant time on the

0:12:000:12:04

front page formerly of the Susannah

and Trini. I am now as skinny as

0:12:040:12:09

Trini.

Yes, well, Yasmin, if you

would like to... You said is this

0:12:090:12:18

news? It is a front-page story. Is

it really?

We are encouraged to look

0:12:180:12:24

on pages 20 and 21 to find out how

she did it.

I don't have to know. I

0:12:240:12:29

probably have some kind of idea.

Go

on.

Moved a bit more. That is how I

0:12:290:12:40

did it. It is magic, the only way.

So we should have you on the front

0:12:400:12:46

page!

Shouldn't we just?

In my

handmade frock? Home-made frock was

0:12:460:12:53

to mark that tape is nice to a final

item on the Observer, talking about

0:12:530:12:57

Paris fashion week.

Penny, Penny...

What she is wearing... This is a

0:12:570:13:07

concoction by Vivienne Westwood.

By

her husband apparently. It is a

0:13:070:13:13

Marsh to his wife.

Sorry! -- homage.

It is lovely! If I was younger, I

0:13:130:13:23

would. I think it is great!

Penny

would make that to you.

My immediate

0:13:230:13:29

thought was you rip up a whole lot

of stuff and tack it on and...

It is

0:13:290:13:34

a bit like a curtain. But unlike

its!

Also, you slash up to him

0:13:340:13:42

around the top and do a bit of

cutting and...

You make it sound

0:13:420:13:45

very simple, this is haute couture!

It is like a housecoat, you just

0:13:450:13:54

wrap it around, curtains are very

nice. I do like it.

The thing I like

0:13:540:14:02

is the upsidedown yellow legs.

I

have no idea. Growing up in a family

0:14:020:14:07

of hose re- manufacturers, it

reminds me of the model averagely

0:14:070:14:11

that were used to have in the

factory that you could put a pair of

0:14:110:14:15

stockings on or of Python and they

would, you check they fit --

0:14:150:14:19

hosiery.

Why do they have an average

lake?

One leg sticking up off the

0:14:190:14:26

leg desk.

Did I have a foot? Is

there such a thing as an average

0:14:260:14:33

leg?

By parents may still have that

tucked away at home. Painted yellow.

0:14:330:14:41

That is all from us.

0:14:410:14:43

Don't forget, you can see the front

pages of the papers online

0:14:430:14:46

on the BBC News website.

0:14:460:14:47

It's all there for you -

seven days a week at

0:14:480:14:50

BBC.co.uk/papers

0:14:510:14:51

and if you miss the programme any

0:14:510:14:53

evening, you can watch it

later on BBC iPlayer.

0:14:530:14:55

Thank you and goodbye.
