10:31 pm
is an evocative story of two sisters who seem to lose everything in war in korea but whose love for each other ngos. —— engineers. —— endures. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anne ashworth, associate editor at the times, and the author, playwright and columnist in the new european, bonnie greer. tomorrow's front pages. the sunday times, which reports that the newjustice secretary is preparing to intervene to halt the release of the so—called black cab rapist, john worboys. the sunday telegraph has an interview with the new conservative party chairman — he tells the paper he wants to galvanise the party's digital campaigning. the observer reports claims by nigel farage that pro—europeans could overturn the result of the brexit referendum
10:32 pm
and that the leave side has stopped fighting. and the sunday express claims economists are warning the eu that failing to reach a brexit deal with britain could cost it £500 billion. so, let's begin. we are going to start this evening with the observer and nigel farage who has had a couple of things this who has had a couple of things this week, started off saying he thinks there should be a second referendum and it rather bizarrely put him in agreement with vince cable. he said he thought the league side would winds very well and now he seems to be saying the opposite. but two days later, he thinks the remainers will winds the day because he feels the leave campaign is futile and hopeless, they have given up the fight, and that remain points is the
10:33 pm
input watch more strongly. i'm not quite sure where he is getting any of the evidence for these views from but i just of the evidence for these views from but ijust wonder of the evidence for these views from but i just wonder whether of the evidence for these views from but ijust wonder whether he just loves the limelight so much that he cannot bear not to be in it, or that he is hoping that the vacancy at the top of the duke chip will —— of ukip will become clear and he canjump in and save the party. is barely making sense. i think what anis saying is the hub of it. this guy it didn't get where he is without knowing how to manipulate the limelight. there isa to manipulate the limelight. there is a slight shift, if the question we re is a slight shift, if the question were asked, towards remain. john curtis who has been knighted in the new years hoi'ioui's curtis who has been knighted in the new years honours list, it is there. but ask the question again is ridiculous. and i am a passionate remainer. ithink ridiculous. and i am a passionate remainer. i think it would be
10:34 pm
insulting to ask people this question again. i think what could be asked, because i fully, the referendum is an arc of asking the people how they feel, people could be asked about how people feel about that heal, would you rather remain do you buy it? and this time, get 16 and 17—year—olds involved because this is deftly checked, and go for a supermajority. the wind is very tiny, and act truly, michael farage did say to the daily mirror a couple of years ago that it was safe to 48 remain then the question is unsettled. so, he is aware through the arc and movement of things but i wouldn't trust it. i wonder if he is talking about the shape of the deal emerging. talk of a transition period, for example, where people won't notice much of a difference,
10:35 pm
he worries it is all being watered down and their white beard clean break. he wants a divorce in which either side doesn't release speak to each other. and we think that might not quite how it unfolds. and he's also possibly seeing that the trade deals that people were so confident about may not be so readily available. however, ido about may not be so readily available. however, i do always wonder why so much attention is paid toa man wonder why so much attention is paid to a man who has not how whatsoever. because he is click bait. he's a televisual clown. vets face it, most politicians are not very interesting, i politicians are not very interesting, lam politicians are not very interesting, i am glad, politicians are not very interesting, lam glad, because it means they are doing their work. but this one knows how to grab the limelight. he said it on the breakfast show, off the top of his head, and the presenter was going, what? what? what? he is credited with changing the political than a
10:36 pm
mac, changing the discussion. it was because of him and his party that we reach the point where we had a referendum. he had one job and he did it, which was to ensure two had —— we had a referendum. did it, which was to ensure two had -- we had a referendum. in the united states, he is being touted as the creator of brexit. there he is getting all these roses thrown at him in the united states, most americans don't even know what the brexit is, and is completely light —— right, this is about the limelight. but he hasn't given us any idea about what talking about. but that isn't important. the end instatement is what is important. he is saying it is a top whistle to his face, he is saying, put me in charge, these people are selling out and we need to do this. he has come back many times before. it takes us
10:37 pm
daily to the others all the front page of the observer, trump row is a risk. donald trump of mac deteriorating relationship with britain. a lot of people thought these deals would be easily done but they take the case to sort out. it is an extraordinary thing, this distaste that trump has developed for britainjust as distaste that trump has developed for britain just as a time when we meet to be talking more to this man, how about the paris climate accord and other things. i have to say, i'm proud of this come true. no one america would think it would be the added kingdom which would either first place to live the sense of, we don't want you here. they thought it
10:38 pm
would be france. it is here. it is what is shocking people because to the average american, the british are te and sympathy, so this is incredibly shocking to people that wonder does not —— london does not wa nt wonder does not —— london does not want him here. should our dislike for him overwhelm our relationship with him? it is nothing to do with us. this is my argument with the person who bought this up. if british diplomacy is the world and this man's women, that is something that we should know about, we should not know about is the country. and at the same time, that is what diplomats are supposed to do. they should go in there and sort this out. still, the state visit invitation has been even, it has been accepted, it is still on the table, but there is no weight. been accepted, it is still on the table, but there is no weightm been accepted, it is still on the table, but there is no weight. if he
10:39 pm
was to come, her majesty has invited him, he has accepted, he can come. he knows what is coming. let's move on to the telegraph, an interview with a new chairman of the party. he is saying that the tories are too shy to fight the left online. after the general election which didn't go well for the tories, they lost their majority, it was seen that that call banisters were far more deft way came to social media. i don't know if it is everything to do with age, i think it is a willingness to embrace it. it does have everything to do with age and i say this as someone in the demographic of the tories, that you have to understand how it works, you have to get in there and you have to swim with it. when you are a younger person, they
10:40 pm
are adept at knowing how to do that. the average age of the conservative party would not give any indication that they would know how to manoeuvre lives. brandon lewis me know how to manoeuvre himself personally but the party as a whole doesn't know how to make his work and it is obvious because i watched the tories bleed, and they ain't got it. but i think brandon lewis is a man that has realised it is a problem and that is how elections are going to be fought in the chart, and that they need to develop these skills. they need to have an offer... someone said to me after the election the problem was the conservatives came out of that inking they are really rubbish at everything and he said, it wasn't great election but it wasn't as bad, they mustn't throw everything away, they mustn't throw everything away, they still have a chance of fighting. it is extraordinary that people just need to realise that
10:41 pm
these social media platforms will not go away. a lot of people think they would die. the conservatives have no offer for the people who are online and who use it. it is as simple as that. let's stay with the telegraph, the flu vaccine is being shunned by 3 million people deemed most at risk. clearly a problem. there was a flu outbreak the moment. what do people do about this? well, it is extraordinary that people don't the flu will happen to them. they somehow think they will escape it working now this is the weekend when we suddenly realised that this could be a problem and i bet on monday, people will be going into pharmacies and perhaps not been able to find the flu vaccine but at least they will be trying because of the number of people having flu. isn't this getting back into a generational conversation. isn't this a younger demographic? there
10:42 pm
was the whole thing a couple of years ago about not being vaccinated. a lot of younger people are not doing it. they do it in schools, interestingly. but there is another group of women who aren't getting vaccinated anymore so it might be part of that. what i think is interesting is usually any discussions about the free vaccine is focusing on the elderly but they are talking about young people. people i know who have had the flu worst of the younger people, maybe they haven't had previous clues. in america, there was a big anti—vac movement. let's move on to the sunday times. the parole board deciding thatjohn worboys should be released after fewer than ten years in prison. the newjustice minister when he took over last week, is now suggesting there may be grounds to
10:43 pm
try and challenge that. he is saying he would only do it if there was a reasonable chance of success but it is an incredible boring. an extraordinary lawyer. a lawyer in thisjob is extraordinary lawyer. a lawyer in this job is immediately extraordinary lawyer. a lawyer in thisjob is immediately asserting himself and thinking, right, we need to short —— sort this situation. there was controversy over the secrecy and the decision to allow warboys out. it looks, bowling, he is obviously taken the right soundings, and he is going to try and fight this decision. if that is the way the parole board makes its decisions, that needs to be changed. they are independent though. exactly. that is very important. the good news is with got a lawyer in justice. he has obviously seen a loophole, he has obviously seen something because you don't go in there as you think you can win it so he has seen something and he might
10:44 pm
be able to save these victims from this man and it is possible to. some people are saying the cps should actually bring in further prosecutions against him. because he isa prosecutions against him. because he is a lawyer, he will see if it is possible to do that. we are reminded in this piece about how his victims heard that he would be out and about in london and they do not feel safe. horrible. it is important that we have that visitors over the side for the legal profession. we need to make sure the law is followed completely and it there is a loophole that the secretary of state can see, because these are lawyer, then remind have a good result. two more quick stories in the sunday times. try january all year. more quick stories in the sunday times. tryjanuary all year. people buy like the side —— sign of that. and it is going to be veganuary as
10:45 pm
well. the government are going to try and post calorie caps on fast food restaurants so these massive calorie laden dishes that the british will enjoy, there will be a big sign on them saying this is 1800 calories, best not to eat it. not a bad idea. mr trump may enjoy this dish but perhaps it is not the best wing for you. but a bad idea. it is the sort of nanny state thing. wing for you. but a bad idea. it is the sort of nanny state thingm wing for you. but a bad idea. it is the sort of nanny state thing. if we are ina the sort of nanny state thing. if we are in a situation where... i live in soho and i see people in their 20s eating in mcdonald's but
