0:00:16 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:20 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23With me are The New Statesman's special correspondent,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Stephen Bush and Rosamund Urwin, Financial Services correspondent
0:00:25 > 0:00:26at the Sunday Times.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
0:00:29 > 0:00:36The FT leads with more on the pressure being placed
0:00:36 > 0:00:39on Facebook to explain allegations that data from millions of its users
0:00:39 > 0:00:41helped President Trump win the US election.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43The Guardian also has that story.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46It says an investigation has been launched into possible data breaches
0:00:46 > 0:00:50committed by the firm Cambridge Analytica,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54which was used by Donald Trump's election campaign.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Both Cambridge Analytica and Facebook deny any wrongdoing.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00The Metro has more on the Foreign Secretary's rejection of claims made
0:01:00 > 0:01:05by Russia that the chemical used to poison Sergei and Yulia Skripal
0:01:05 > 0:01:09was made in the UK.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11The I reports on President Putin's landslide election win tonight
0:01:11 > 0:01:14along with his reaction to the dispute over the origin
0:01:14 > 0:01:17of the nerve agent used in Salisbury.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20The Telegraph has details on plans by the government to introduce
0:01:20 > 0:01:25stricter regulations and taxation on tech giants operating in Britain.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28The Times says the gambling watchdog is to relax its drastic
0:01:28 > 0:01:32recommendation to limit stakes on fixed-odds betting machines.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36The Mirror reports on the arrest of TV presenter Ant McPartlin
0:01:36 > 0:01:40after he was allegedly involved in a car accident in south-west
0:01:40 > 0:01:41London.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And the Sun is leading on that story too.
0:01:45 > 0:01:52It says the star was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56So a fair old spread of different stories on the front pages but, of
0:01:56 > 0:02:00course, Russia is never far away and that is where we will begin with the
0:02:00 > 0:02:05times. A landslide victory to put on thanks to Britain and the suggestion
0:02:05 > 0:02:09is that the confrontation with Britain over various matters has
0:02:09 > 0:02:15boosted and bolstered the victory that Vladimir Putin is enjoying.
0:02:15 > 0:02:22That is what people have said, that some analysis of saying that it
0:02:22 > 0:02:27turned out to be a boost. Ultimately, the main factor in this
0:02:27 > 0:02:31election was that Vladimir Putin was able to choose his opponent, and
0:02:31 > 0:02:34effectively was able to run the rules of the election. His main
0:02:34 > 0:02:38opponent was this hard because of a fraud conviction that he says was
0:02:38 > 0:02:45false. I don't really think that Britain's reaction one way or
0:02:45 > 0:02:49another has been that important, not the least because it had Britain not
0:02:49 > 0:02:52reacted at all than he would have looked even stronger going into the
0:02:52 > 0:02:56election. I don't really see what else we might have done.The fact
0:02:56 > 0:03:04that turnout dropped from 65 to 60% is being commented upon.There is a
0:03:04 > 0:03:11lovely line in this from a spokesperson for the campaign. I
0:03:11 > 0:03:17would like to thank the UK for helping with this high turnout which
0:03:17 > 0:03:21we ourselves could not have dreamt of. Of course, that could quite
0:03:21 > 0:03:25easily have they meet this happened. One of the things that they did if
0:03:25 > 0:03:30they offered little incentive to come out and vote. Coffee,
0:03:30 > 0:03:35chocolate, whatever. Of course it is the only way people can oppose
0:03:35 > 0:03:41Hooton's re- election, I not voting at all. That is what you do when you
0:03:41 > 0:03:48have no choice on the ballot paper. If it is down to 60%, I think that
0:03:48 > 0:03:53was two hours before polls closed, so there is a chance the roads, but
0:03:53 > 0:03:58if it is that then that is a slight dent in his otherwise unstoppable
0:03:58 > 0:04:09six more years.Looking at the sun. Piles of poison. The Foreign
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Secretary saying that Russia has been stockpiling the nerve agent for
0:04:12 > 0:04:17quite sometime. I think this was Boris this morning.He is saying
0:04:17 > 0:04:26exactly that that they are stock stock boiling -- stockpiling it. The
0:04:26 > 0:04:32suggestion was that it might come from within the UK. But Boris
0:04:32 > 0:04:38Johnson says that the trail does lead inevitably to the Kremlin.And
0:04:38 > 0:04:43the Daily Telegraph goes one further without saying that Russian
0:04:43 > 0:04:49dissident bodies could be exhumed to test for Novichok. They want to look
0:04:49 > 0:04:55for traces of it.There have been various people critical of what you
0:04:55 > 0:05:00put's regime who have lived here in the UK and died in mysterious
0:05:00 > 0:05:03circumstances. The Telegraph is suggesting that some of these people
0:05:03 > 0:05:07will be dug up and have their bodies tested for the presence of this
0:05:07 > 0:05:10nerve agent. Because it is undetectable in its preprepared
0:05:10 > 0:05:16form. So you have two harmless agents that are only deadly when
0:05:16 > 0:05:21combined, it could be some people who have been attacked with it and
0:05:21 > 0:05:25we have not noticed until now. The Telegraph suggests that we will dig
0:05:25 > 0:05:29it up. If that happens, that puts the government in a bind because at
0:05:29 > 0:05:33the moment they have expelled 23 diplomats and there has been some
0:05:33 > 0:05:36tit-for-tat expulsion. At that point, if things start to escalate
0:05:36 > 0:05:40it is not clear what the British government can do that will not
0:05:40 > 0:05:44leave them looking weak and unable to respond to the Russian
0:05:44 > 0:05:51government.Moving on to look at Facebook and, more widely technology
0:05:51 > 0:05:56firms to dig the Guardian, firstly. Pressure on Facebook and data firm
0:05:56 > 0:06:01over a mass breach of personal data files. This is that Cambridge
0:06:01 > 0:06:10Analytica. And a reporter who has been looking at them for quite some
0:06:10 > 0:06:13time with some deep investigation, what is the suggestion here?The
0:06:13 > 0:06:19suggestion is that data was improperly obtained by Cambridge
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Analytica under the cover of being for research purposes. It was
0:06:24 > 0:06:26actually used to make advertisers and influence the American
0:06:26 > 0:06:33presidential election. Alexander Nix testified to the Commons Select
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Committee in the past and he is now being accused of being economical
0:06:37 > 0:06:41with the truth. He and Mark Zuckerberg will be callback to
0:06:41 > 0:06:45account for how Facebook keeps control of the user's data and
0:06:45 > 0:06:52prevents it from being used in ways we may not like.Both organisations
0:06:52 > 0:06:58and Facebook say that we have done nothing wrong at all. But it is
0:06:58 > 0:07:02quite sensitive, the use of people's data. We are supposed to give our
0:07:02 > 0:07:06consent for how it is used.I always wonder if this is one of those
0:07:06 > 0:07:11things that really splits people. Some people do seem to be rather
0:07:11 > 0:07:15blase about how their data is used, actually. And then there is another
0:07:15 > 0:07:19group of us who really feel that this is a pressing issue of our time
0:07:19 > 0:07:23that needs addressing. I think we will see a lot more scrutiny of the
0:07:23 > 0:07:28tech firms in this regard. And I think we will, you know, the whole
0:07:28 > 0:07:34thing of their original sort of slightly idealistic fix the world...
0:07:34 > 0:07:38This is where it turns. It actually says OK, we have some real problems
0:07:38 > 0:07:42with the way this operates -- companies operate. We have things
0:07:42 > 0:07:48like this where it comes out and we have a light shone on them and they
0:07:48 > 0:07:52do not look great.That leads us nicely to the Telegraph and the wild
0:07:52 > 0:07:56West era of technology firms. A cabinet minister responsible for
0:07:56 > 0:08:00overseeing them says that things will get more difficult. How?This
0:08:00 > 0:08:08is not just about regulation. It is also talking about tax cost, of
0:08:08 > 0:08:13course, many of these companies not only have gotten away with a
0:08:13 > 0:08:17regulation like existence for a while, I have also not paid much in
0:08:17 > 0:08:22the way of corporation tax. And so he is talking about looking at the
0:08:22 > 0:08:29way they operate, the major technology firms, and looking at
0:08:29 > 0:08:34forcing them to accept increasing regulation. Some companies are ahead
0:08:34 > 0:08:40of us. Germany has strict rules, rules about finding tech companies
0:08:40 > 0:08:49if they do not handle abusive or hate speech adequately.I wonder why
0:08:49 > 0:08:52we have been behind other countries. We have been talking about the
0:08:52 > 0:08:56problems of lack of regulation and certainly lack of tax being paid for
0:08:56 > 0:09:03years.It is probably because our legal structure is permissive. If it
0:09:03 > 0:09:08is not strict forbidden you can do. Or so, for a long time, pervading
0:09:08 > 0:09:13ideology of the government party has been that basically freedom is great
0:09:13 > 0:09:18and, yeah, these are just wonderful entrepreneurs. Thing the tech firms
0:09:18 > 0:09:23have been able to do and Matt Hancock almost says this is become
0:09:23 > 0:09:27an entirely new type of company who does not need to follow any of the
0:09:27 > 0:09:34old rules. Are Facebook pretends it is not a publisher. Actually, as he
0:09:34 > 0:09:38says, that era of pretending that these are not normal companies that
0:09:38 > 0:09:41should follow normal rules is, I think, thankfully, coming to an end.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Yes. They have really -- reached a certain level of maturity. Looking
0:09:46 > 0:09:54at city AM added every -- different story. Campaigners plead for a tax
0:09:54 > 0:10:02break as 18 pubs close every week. This is a campaign that always
0:10:02 > 0:10:06fights for tax breaks at pubs. Here they say that pubs are being hit by
0:10:06 > 0:10:13a triple whammy of high beer duty, business rates and VAT. This is
0:10:13 > 0:10:18where it is squeezing a lot of businesses, not just pubs. But they
0:10:18 > 0:10:22point out that 460 pubs closed in the second half of 2017. Does
0:10:22 > 0:10:28obviously sound like a high number, that is almost 18 a week. Most are
0:10:28 > 0:10:35in London however at the same time, they have to find ways to operate
0:10:35 > 0:10:38and some pubs are frightening in this environment.How much of it is
0:10:38 > 0:10:46down to our changing habits? People drinking at home more?Pubs have a
0:10:46 > 0:10:49long standing problem of people drinking less alcoholic drinks in
0:10:49 > 0:10:53general and drinking more of them at home. However, business rates are a
0:10:53 > 0:10:57big looming problem for the high street and a big looming problem for
0:10:57 > 0:11:01the government as well. The effect of them so far seems to have been
0:11:01 > 0:11:05much more severe than many people expected. ICD my own part of London,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09businesses that succeed in terms of bums on seats but do not succeed in
0:11:09 > 0:11:15terms of making enough money because of the raise in business rate. I
0:11:15 > 0:11:19think the lobby group has a point here and we are in danger of having
0:11:19 > 0:11:23an homogenous high-street.Business rates disproportionately hit certain
0:11:23 > 0:11:27places and London would be one of them.That is it for the papers
0:11:27 > 0:11:31tonight. You can see all the front pages of the papers online.
0:11:31 > 0:11:41Therefore you seven days a week@BBC.co.uk, don't fret, if you
0:11:41 > 0:11:46miss it you can watch it later on I play a. Thank you to both of you for
0:11:46 > 0:11:49sharing your Sunday night with a. Film review is next.
