We'll be taking a look at tomorrow
morning's papers in a moment. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
First, the headlines. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
23 British diplomats are to be
expelled by Moscow amid tensions | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |

-- The Prime Minister has said
Russia must account for its actions. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
We will never told a greater threat
to the life of British citizens and | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
others on British soil from the
Russian government. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Meanwhile, counter-terrorism police
have started contacting Russian | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
exiles living in the UK,
about their personal safety | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |

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