0:00:12 > 0:00:17Hello.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18This is BBC News.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22First, the headlines.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34The Prime Minister has said Russia Must account for its actions.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39-- The Prime Minister has said Russia must account for its actions.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43We will never told a greater threat to the life of British citizens and
0:00:43 > 0:00:47others on British soil from the Russian government.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Meanwhile, counter-terrorism police have started contacting Russian

0:00:51 > 0:00:59following the suspected murder of businessman Nikolai Glushkov.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Snow and ice grip parts of the UK as drivers are warned to prepare

0:01:09 > 0:01:11US officials investigate claims that a political consultancy mishandled
0:01:11 > 0:01:14the data of millions of Facebook users to support Donald Trump's run
0:01:14 > 0:01:20for the White House.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Lara Croft returns to the big screen, this time played by elusive

0:01:29 > 0:01:34cinema releases full of -- Alicia Vikander.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:01:44 > 0:01:46bringing us tomorrow.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47With me are the playwright
0:01:48 > 0:01:49and New European columnist Bonnie Greer
0:01:49 > 0:01:50and the economist Ruth Lea.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57The Observer has an interview with a whistle-blower who alleges
0:01:57 > 0:02:00that information from millions of Facebook users may have been used
0:02:00 > 0:02:06by a data company during the 2016 US presidential election.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Both companies deny any wrongdoing.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15The Mail on Sunday says Theresa May is planning a crackdown
0:02:15 > 0:02:18on what the paper calls Putin's 'McMafia' associates
0:02:18 > 0:02:23of the Russian President with money in the UK.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26The Sunday Times warns that a Russian cyber-attack could turn
0:02:26 > 0:02:27the lights out in Britain.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31It reports that the National Grid is on alert.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34The Sunday Express has more on Theresa May putting pressure
0:02:34 > 0:02:39on Moscow with a possible travel ban for 1,000 Russian tycoons.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41The Sunday Telegraph leads on the same story,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44as well as a photograph of a smiling Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
0:02:44 > 0:02:47at a St Patrick's Day parade of the Irish Guards.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And the Sunday Mirror leads on the sex abuse scandal in Telford,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54quoting a police insider who says it was "too much trouble" to crack
0:02:54 > 0:03:11down on grooming gangs.
0:03:11 > 0:03:22Let's start. A nice headline here, the PM's ward on Vladimir Putin's
0:03:22 > 0:03:29'McMafia' million, cracking down on dirty money. I'm unsure where
0:03:29 > 0:03:33'McMafia' starts and ends and where Russian oligarchs who just happen to
0:03:33 > 0:03:37have a lot of money starts on end. That is one of the issues. We have
0:03:37 > 0:03:41had a lot of Russian money in the system for a long time. It is
0:03:41 > 0:03:50propped up quite a few things. In some bits of the party as well. I
0:03:50 > 0:03:54think is the public clamour to find out who is here, who actually is in
0:03:54 > 0:03:58the country, how are they in the country? One thing is important to
0:03:58 > 0:04:01stress, this isn't about ordinary Russian people. Russian people who
0:04:01 > 0:04:06are here. This is about people who have loads of money in Kensington
0:04:06 > 0:04:10and Knightsbridge and in the countryside, everything on to find
0:04:10 > 0:04:14out what the money is, where is it coming from, what is it being used
0:04:14 > 0:04:21for, what is it popping up? How is that leaving? What is going on? Part
0:04:21 > 0:04:25of the problem, and this has been coming on for a long time, is that
0:04:25 > 0:04:30there are little vendettas and sort of a little thing going on in the
0:04:30 > 0:04:33country between various factions of the country and we need to know what
0:04:33 > 0:04:38it is.Indeed. Ledecka weapons are being booked for but they are hard
0:04:38 > 0:04:43to find, aren't they, Bruce?-- political. She wants to make it
0:04:43 > 0:04:50easier to seize money, criminal money, but Bonnie says we have a lot
0:04:50 > 0:04:54of money in the country and we are led to understand most of it is
0:04:54 > 0:04:58legitimate and we are not trying to have a war with the Russians in the
0:04:58 > 0:05:02country, but it is quite legitimate to save if this is criminal money we
0:05:02 > 0:05:06don't want it or you and I suspect there has been quite a sort of a,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11people have been relaxed about it is the kindest way of putting it, but I
0:05:11 > 0:05:14think it is part and parcel of Theresa May's attack on Russia
0:05:14 > 0:05:21because she is thought of driving up the rhetoric against Russia from the
0:05:21 > 0:05:25disgraceful behaviour in Salisbury. They have been stories of 20 years,
0:05:25 > 0:05:31various sort of people living in London particularly who have had
0:05:31 > 0:05:35vendettas against other people who live in London and it is a bit like
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I'm from Chicago and it feels like Chicago yesterday were all of these
0:05:39 > 0:05:42sort of other countries exist alongside vows where people were
0:05:42 > 0:05:48doing hits against people and driving people out of town. And now
0:05:48 > 0:05:51she is needing to deal with this because we don't know what happened
0:05:51 > 0:05:55in Salisbury.But Russia is not, I mean, is not a key trading partner
0:05:55 > 0:06:02for example of the UK at all, is it? I'd think about less than 1% of
0:06:02 > 0:06:06exports and 1% of imports come from Russia but of course there are
0:06:06 > 0:06:13useful Russian investments, indeed, quite useful for Russia in the
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Russia is also BP has a big share in their fuel company. You don't want
0:06:17 > 0:06:24to be like America...Know, and the dissidents there, they were asked
0:06:24 > 0:06:28why didn't you move to London and set of New York and one of the
0:06:28 > 0:06:32things he said was because of what is going on in London. It is a lot
0:06:32 > 0:06:36of madness. It is underground.We need to get it sorted. What the
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Sunday Times, the same thing, but their headline is blackout threat to
0:06:41 > 0:06:50Britain as Pretty hits back. -- Vladimir Putin.The National cyber
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Security Centre which is part of GCHQ, the security services, are
0:06:54 > 0:06:59warning there could be a Russia and cyber attack on the systems, the
0:06:59 > 0:07:03National Grid, the computer systems, which were actually cause them to
0:07:03 > 0:07:07dysfunction and they could put the lights out and basically I think
0:07:07 > 0:07:12this is a timely warning that they should actually used their defences
0:07:12 > 0:07:16against cyber attacks and indeed GCHQ is actually giving advice as to
0:07:16 > 0:07:21how they should boost their defences and I think it is timely.Russia of
0:07:21 > 0:07:29course has form on this, Estonia... Well, exactly. There is a warning in
0:07:29 > 0:07:33the United States as well. She would be irresponsible if she did not
0:07:33 > 0:07:40actually try and sort of beef up security as well.What about this
0:07:40 > 0:07:48gas? We don't depend on Russia for our gas supplies, Ruth? But other
0:07:48 > 0:07:53people do and it is a key point?I think so, my understanding is 1% of
0:07:53 > 0:07:56our domestic consumption is actually imported from Russia which is
0:07:56 > 0:08:01miniscule. We do import gas but it is from Norway and Qatar and places
0:08:01 > 0:08:04like that but people on the continent, they are dependent on
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Russian gas. Germany for example, about 36% of its domestic
0:08:10 > 0:08:14consumption comes from Russia. It makes a terribly dependent on Russia
0:08:14 > 0:08:19and in fact a lot of eastern Europe and the Balkans are almost 100%
0:08:19 > 0:08:24dependent on Russia. This means that Vladimir Putin has a strong case in
0:08:24 > 0:08:27his hand when it comes to negotiating with various European
0:08:27 > 0:08:31countries when it comes to...So the other countries say they thought of
0:08:31 > 0:08:37support our point of view, but when reality comes, well...I think what
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Ruth is saying, I'm sure, you know, they have to be careful, Germany has
0:08:42 > 0:08:48to be careful, France has to be careful, but if it happened the way
0:08:48 > 0:08:51it looks, this is an attack on sovereignty and our partners have to
0:08:51 > 0:08:56stand up and they have to do it for national integrity and let the chips
0:08:56 > 0:09:00fall where they may actually, Vladimir Putin doesn't expect that
0:09:00 > 0:09:04to happen because part of what he is dealing with is dealing with
0:09:04 > 0:09:07dissension which is a natural state of democracy and he is coming in and
0:09:07 > 0:09:12trying to disrupt that so it has to be done.We do and how it will end
0:09:12 > 0:09:19but it has to be done. He has a very strong hand of cards.Absolutely.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22However, the Sunday Times talking about another side issue coming on,
0:09:22 > 0:09:28Jeremy Corbyn has been going around saying what he does, and they say
0:09:28 > 0:09:39the reason antique auburn MP planning a new party? -- anti-Corbyn
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Mps. Does anyone think there is a chance of coming into life?You are
0:09:44 > 0:09:50asking me?Right. You are a Labour supporter.I am definitely a Labour
0:09:50 > 0:09:56supporter. I don't see, I am saying this as living here for a long time
0:09:56 > 0:10:00but my feeling is I don't see that the United Kingdom does that sort of
0:10:00 > 0:10:05thing. I see France which basically fired their two main parties, they
0:10:05 > 0:10:09sacked them, and made another party. Italy is doing something that is
0:10:09 > 0:10:15different. I don't know if the United Kingdom does this. I think
0:10:15 > 0:10:18people feel very strongly about Labour, the Labour Party, people
0:10:18 > 0:10:23feel strongly about Jeremy, and I think the idea of another party
0:10:23 > 0:10:27being made, I don't think that is what, I could be wrong, but I don't
0:10:27 > 0:10:31think that is what this country does.We remember the gang of four,
0:10:31 > 0:10:41don't we?We do!It was the new sort of Michael foot at the time, wasn't
0:10:41 > 0:10:50it?Yes. Didn't, didn't...It isn't in the culture, is it?At the end of
0:10:50 > 0:10:54the day it was subsumed into the Liberal Democrat party with the
0:10:54 > 0:10:57exception of David Owen who wouldn't be subsumed into anything but it
0:10:57 > 0:11:02faded. I think you were right, the 2-party system in the country, apart
0:11:02 > 0:11:06from the SNP in Scotland is extremely strong.It is about
0:11:06 > 0:11:10feeling. If you are a Labour Party supporter it is a feeling, if you
0:11:10 > 0:11:15are conservative, it is a feeling, it is not just a party.I don't how
0:11:15 > 0:11:19this is... But that is right, the first part post system doesn't help
0:11:19 > 0:11:24small parties in the country.But I think Jeremy Corbyn continues to say
0:11:24 > 0:11:27what we need is a proper investigation, we have not seen the
0:11:27 > 0:11:31evidence and so on, and a lot of Labour MPs are unhappy with that but
0:11:31 > 0:11:35are they really putting their name to anything as radical, not just a
0:11:35 > 0:11:38new party perhaps but even a, I don't know, you leadership or
0:11:38 > 0:11:44election?The trouble is we don't have the story! I think it was
0:11:44 > 0:11:47noticeable in the debates last week when Theresa May was making those
0:11:47 > 0:11:50statements on Monday and Wednesday that the weak auburn didn't quite
0:11:50 > 0:11:54get the tone of the house right, didn't get the mood of the house
0:11:54 > 0:11:58right.That was the mistake, more than what he said, it was that he
0:11:58 > 0:12:04didn't catch the mood.No.That was the problem.Let's get back to
0:12:04 > 0:12:08something else that rumbles away in our lives were about the last 20
0:12:08 > 0:12:15years, Brexit. The front page of the Sunday Telegraph, Gibraltar left out
0:12:15 > 0:12:20of Brexit transition, explained to us what the story is about?As we
0:12:20 > 0:12:23know, we were hoping to have a transitional period when we leave
0:12:23 > 0:12:30the European Union at 20, 19, and the commission has put together the
0:12:30 > 0:12:36draft agreement -- march 2019. My understanding is it is left out poor
0:12:36 > 0:12:43old Gibraltar.When you say left out?It seems to have been left out,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47it has been left out of the transitional arrangements. The truth
0:12:47 > 0:12:51is that it will have to be some accommodation for Gibraltar is all
0:12:51 > 0:12:58of the other UK dependencies when we do leave the EU. My suspicion is
0:12:58 > 0:13:01that by the end of this year, Gibraltar will actually be dealt
0:13:01 > 0:13:08with.But, Travolta Rins understands that and still sensitive about this
0:13:08 > 0:13:17issue, do they not, Bonnie?We are on opposite sides of this question.
0:13:17 > 0:13:26She is a Remainer.It seems to me, and we talked about this quite
0:13:26 > 0:13:32politically, that it seems to me that the government of weather is
0:13:32 > 0:13:36guiding Brexit should've actually laid out for the people are kind of
0:13:36 > 0:13:41framework or map. -- collegiately. It looked shambolic. This has got to
0:13:41 > 0:13:47be fairly Gibraltar resident shopping. I'm not in a position to
0:13:47 > 0:13:52say whether it will happen or not. You are closer to this than me. But
0:13:52 > 0:13:56for the residents, this has to be a shakeup and they didn't vote for
0:13:56 > 0:14:00this to happen anyway so it is another sort of part of the tapestry
0:14:00 > 0:14:07that just looks like a mess. A threadbare... It will be sorted, it
0:14:07 > 0:14:13will be sorted.You get things like this! What does that mean? Our kith
0:14:13 > 0:14:22and kin Gibraltar will be sorted.We have to live it there. -- leave.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Don't forget, you can see the front pages
0:14:24 > 0:14:26of the papers online on the BBC News website.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30It's all there for you, seven days a week at our website.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later
0:14:33 > 0:14:34on BBC iPlayer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Thank you, Bonnie and Ruth.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Next up, it's the Film Review.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42But it's good night from me.
