a look at this morning's front pages in The Papers.

The former pensions minister Baroness Altmann has called

for the system of calculating increases in the state

She says the triple lock protection which guarantees that pensions

rise by at least 2.5% every year is too costly.

Lady Altmann thinks that things could change now Theresa May

is in Downing Street but the government says it has no

It was introduced in 2010 by the coalition, to improve

Since then, the Government has been committed to the triple lock

guarantee, meaning that the state pension will rise by either

the inflation rate, average earnings, or 2.5%,

Under the system, pensioners have seen their weekly

earnings rise sharply, but Baroness Altmann

warns that the costs could soon be enormous.

Speaking to the Observer newspaper, she said she lobbied

David Cameron for changes, but was rebuffed.

Instead she wants pensions to either rise in line

Baroness Altmann thinks that the policy could be changed now

Theresa May is in Downing Street, but the Government says it has no

With me now is our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.

What is Baroness Altmann's thinking about this? She is a pension expert,

that is why David Cameron brought her into the government. And she has

been saying this morning that she is talking about policy, not politics,

she emphasises that. Her thinking is that pensioner incomes need to be

protected but he thinks politically, nobody has the courage to stand up

and say, we have done enough on this issue so far as the government and

things need to change going forward. Earlier I asked her, does this mean

that she thinks pensioners do not need to be protected as much? I am

saying that the long-term, 2.5% has no logic to it. What makes sense if

the nature pensioners are properly protected. We free protect them by

prices or earnings, they get the best of both, and therefore they are

properly protected. They do not really need that 2.5%. That is the

policy. The politics are that pensioners vote, and there is no

more sensitive issue than this. Exactly, and that is why, and

Baroness Altman knows this very well, it is such a difficult issue

for governments. It was brought in in 2010, and she said that she

brought this up at none -- at Downing Street, at her own

department and at the Treasury and she was not able to get anywhere

with it. Whether she is going to be able to change Theresa May's mind is

another issue, because as you point out, pensioners to vote. Whether it

you going to see them voting to see their pensions reduced, who knows?

A quick bit of breaking news coming in from the United States, they are

saying that there are multiple victims from an active shooter in

downtown Austin, Texas, this comes from a police message from the local

police on letter. -- on Twitter. Multiple victims reported from an

active shooter in downtown Austin, Texas, we will try and get more on

that. Theresa May is to chair

a new task-force aimed at tackling More than ?33 million

from the foreign aid budget will be used to fund initiatives in nations

from where people are trafficked. The Prime Minister says

she will make it a national mission to crack down on what she's

described as a barbaric evil. Slavery, a crime that can often go

undetected in ordinary flats, houses, on the streets

and in the workplace. It is estimated there could be

around 10,000 to 13,000 victims Tackling the crime has

been a personal crusade for the Prime Minister,

Theresa May, who introduced the Modern Slavery Bill

exactly one year ago today. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph

about her determination to defeat Since the bill was introduced,

more than 3,000 potential victims have been identified,

which is a 40% rise However, a review found training

for those dealing with victims is sometimes absent,

and vulnerable witnesses are not It also says communication

between police forces is patchy, which could allow victims

to be trafficked from Today, the Government has pledged

funding to prevent slavery in countries like Nigeria,

as well as additional money The Prime Minister will also chair

a new Cabinet task force aimed at tackling modern slavery,

and an inspection will take place into how police forces

treat the crime. The barrister Caroline Hawley joins

us now. How would you define this Robert that Theresa May has been

very clear on, a barbaric evil, how do you see it? I think she is right,

it is an endemic problem in Britain, and I think around the world, that

those in the first world have closed our eyes too. It is pretty

horrifying to think that people, our fellow human beings, can treat

another human being like a piece of property or in many cases like a

piece of dirt. I think it is an endemic problem but we, in Britain,

are leading the way in dealing with it. In terms of how law enforcement

deals with this up and down the country, because presumably it is up

and down the country, are their places where you see good practice

where people are very proactive and cases where people are not so

interested in this as an issue? I have seen a lot of good practice,

very positive good practice and very novel thinking, very enthusiastic

desire to ensure that the act is being intimate it properly. I have

not seen a lack of desire to do it, what I have seen is a lack

not seen a lack of desire to do it, what I have seen is a of

understanding, knowledge and education. There have been gaps in

education. Police forces in temperature, for example, and the

Metropolitan Police, are proactive. -- police forces in Cambridgeshire.

But they're learning has not been shared around the country. Also in

Wales, they are ahead of the game but they're in college and has not

been shared across the country so we are only prosecuting half of the

landscape. The report has suggested we aren't talking about people who

work on building sites, who worked at car washes or nail bars. There

are plenty of people who may be doing that in a perfectly normal

fashion, and that might be part of the problem, many of us, if they go

into a car wash, do not think this has got anything to do with the

problem that you are talking about. You are quite right. I would say

that a very large number of people who work in car washes, nail bars,

or who are working in agriculture or food processing, are doing their job

because they want to do the job or out of a desire to word money. --

earned money. But there is a significant number who are not. And

showing a genuine care and compassion for our fellow human

beings, and just using common sense to see if you can identify if

something is not right, if someone does not engage with you in the car

wash, if they are reluctant to make conversation, if so, it is it a

language issue or is it because there is something more to it than

meets the eye? A final thought, there was talk about using the

foreign aid budget in some way in this, is it presumably so that some

people are not brought to this country to be expert at night but

there are British citizens -- to be exploited? But there are British

citizens who are also exploited. That is right, is happening on a

global scale. If you can imagine being a young male from another

jurisdiction who has no documents, no English, no phone and no access

to resources, but the same affliction on someone going from

Britain to another jurisdiction. The fact that we are looking at this on

an international level, Britain cannot police the world but we can

set the benchmark that everyone as can aspire to achieve. Thank you for

talking to us. The International Olympic Committee

has set up a three-member panel to have the final say

on which Russian athletes can The IOC had said the governing

bodies of individual sports should decide if they'd accept Russian

competitors after claims But now it says the panel will make

the ultimate decision. This review panel will look at every

single decision of every single athlete to make sure that the IOC

is happy with the decision that has been taken,

that they have made all of these different levels of steps,

and that the decision by the ICAS arbitrator is also putting that

forward and then it is up to the panel to decide

if they accept or not for each Our sports correspondence joins me

with the latest. You can understand the IOC's dilemma. They do not want

to have collective punishment of all athletes, some of whom may not be

guilty, but it is very difficult to see them not being soft. That is the

other argument. Is this an attempt to balance those two things? Yes, it

is a surprising move. The IOC's executive body met yesterday and

decided on that 3-person panel to essentially get the final say on

which Russian athletes would be going to Rio. They turned down the

advice of 12 anti-dumping agencies and left it up to the individual

sport so this seems to be a contradictory development. The IOC

had given the power to the individual sports federations but

they now say they want to decide on which athletes have been included.

They will look at only the athletes who have been included. And then

verify the decisions made by the sports federations. It seems now

like the panels will look over the judges of the individual sports and

take back the power over the athletes' participation in

individual events. Looking back at London 2012, people said it would

not work but it was a wonderful triumph. I am wondering, in these

games, people will look at the athletes and say, is everybody

clean? Is everybody playing fair game here? It has been a stringent

process from the IOC over the last two years. We know that the

whistle-blower will be included, there will be one athlete in the

games who failed a drug test, there are other athletes who served their

bands and they are free to participate. I think the games will

not be seen like that because of the stringent process. The world

anti-doping agency was heavily involved in the decision, they

looked at Russia and Ken you closely, and Russia, the federation

whose anti-doping policies were deemed not good enough, there may be

could be frowning upon those athletes but I think everyone as

have proved themselves to be clean. More on the breaking news that came

from Texas, it is the middle of the night still there, given the time

difference from the UK. Multiple victims are now reported from an

active shooter in Austin, according to Texas police. The active shooter,

as they put it, in the Texas Capitol, you can see the Twitter

account there, they say there is more to follow and to stay away from

downtown. But is all we have. It is not immediately clear what is

happening. The former owner of BHS,

Sir Philip Green, has insisted that there is no legal liability

on him to plug the ?571 million hole However he says that he is making

real progress with the pensions Sir Philip made the comments

in a letter to the Labour MP Frank Field, whom he accused

of turning a parliamentary inquiry into the collapse of BHS

into a kangaroo court. Up to two million people

are expected to attend a mass led by Pope Francis later this

morning near the Polish The service is part

of the World Youth Day festival, an international event held

by the Catholic Church. In a prayer for peace last night

Pope Francis urged young people not to become lazy,

and instead to engage in social activism and politics

to create a more just world. It must be an extraordinary

atmosphere that given the perception that the Pope has received.

Incredible -- the reception he has received. Yes, incredible scenes,

massive crowd, they say 1.6 million people were here last night, many

more have appeared this morning. This site feels like a religious

Glastonbury, it stretches into the distance from where we are standing,

people are sheltering from the sun. A lot of them stayed here last night

and slept in the open air, they had to trek 15 Columbus is from Krakow

yesterday to get here. An interest that macro 15: that is from Krakow

yesterday to get here. An interesting message from the Pope

yesterday, he said to the young people to not be couch potatoes,

these are his words, to get out into their communities and do some good.

There are young people here from Britain, Australia, and the States,

lots of countries people my not have heard of, it is a really

international event. That message about getting off the sofa has gone

down really well, typically bold message from Pope Francis and in

that kind of language, talking the language that young people

understand. Just as you are saying the comparison with Glastonbury,

this is the Pope who manages to connect in a way that the previous

Pope did not, and not since we have had a Polish Pope has someone been

able to have that degree of connection with ordinary people. Of

course, John Paul II was from Krakow, so is it credibly popular,

in the centre of the city you see more posters of him than you do Pope

Francis. Pope Francis amongst the faithful here is very popular,

especially in young people. He has changed the language that we have

had from devious popes. Also changed the style, here's a look more --

here's a bit more unscripted. We have had other lines from him this

year, saying that, in his words, the world is at war when it comes to

extremist ideology, not a religious war, he says. Also bring up the

issue of last night. On the stage last night, there was a 26-year-old

Syrian woman, from Aleppo, city ravaged by conflict, and she spoke

three emotionally about how she goes out every day and does not know

whether she will come home alive in the evening. She is studying for a

Masters in Aleppo, and she sort of set, where are you, God? Where is my

face? A poignant message like that is typical of the style of Pope

Francis, and it is typical of the message from Mr this event.

Questioning and debating. Going back a decade or so, in the media we were

talking about the core controversial issues of abortion and gay rights.

Nowadays the Pope has focused the debate on world poverty,

immigration, issues that mean a lot more to people in this day and age.

We will keep checking in with you today. Thank you.

The headlines now. Downing Street says there are no plans to review

the policy to guarantee increases in state pension as former minister

said it should be scrapped. Olympic chiefs announced plans to

review Russian athlete participation in the next Olympic Games.

Modern-day slavery is described by Theresa May as a barbaric evil, she

will chair a new task force. Investigators have arrived

at the scene of a hot air balloon crash in Texas,

in which 16 people died. It came down about 30 miles south

of the city of Austin, It's the deadliest accident

involving a hot air From clear skies above the Texas

plains, the horror had Such was the intensity

of the explosion and fire which engulfed the balloon basket

that there was little Two of the balloon's gas cylinders

were still visible Emergency services had been called

by a witness who heard I heard one pop before

I stepped out the door. Then I heard another pop,

and I'm looking to see who's shooting, 'cause it sounded

like a gun going off. And then I looked up over there,

and the next thing I knew you saw And it was just - it's just praying

that whoever was there got away The balloon is thought to have

been owned by the Heart Last week, chief pilot

Skip Nicholls posted this video of one of the flights,

which operate seven days a week. The 16 who died are believed to have

been on another organised tour. Although it came down beneath

powerlines, it is unclear whether the balloon had struck

the lines, or whether it had developed a problem

at a higher altitude. Police are still trying to establish

the identities of those who died. This is the worst ballooning tragedy

yet recorded, and it will bring fresh calls for tighter regulations

covering over 100 US operators. Just to repeat the breaking news, we

have a little more detail now about the multiple shooting or multiple

victims reported from what police in Austin, Texas are saying an active

shooter. They say, multiple victims, stay away from downtown, we are told

that the incident happened around 3am. Reports of the incident came at

3am local time. Still not clear how many people were shot. But the

police have also asked for no further media enquiries while they

are pursuing the shooter or shooters. We will have more in the

next ten or 15 minutes. The Rio Olympics is almost

upon us and the memory Set up as a legacy event,

the fourth annual Ride London festival has been taking

place all weekend. Holly Hamilton is at the Olympic

Park for us this morning. Good morning. We are here right on

the starting line, where 26,000 amateur cyclists have been taking

off all morning for this event. This is the third day of the first of

all, in its third year, this is the legacy of the Olympic 2012 games.

They will follow the same route as those cyclists did and that will

take 100 miles. No mean feat for an amateur cyclists. A few are not up

to it, you can see you can do the 46 mile route through the same route,

going to the city centre, through the countryside and back into the

centre again. This is the final lot of cyclists who will take on that

route. This is incredible, 70 people taking part and a lot of them taking

it very seriously. -- so many people. Yes, we hope they do not get

too seriously expect this is the latest event, 46 miles to inspire

less experienced cyclists and letting them experienced traffic

free rose which is very different. -- roads. London needs more people

on two wheels and this event is all about that. A fantastic event legacy

from London 2012. Some people could be forgiven for thinking plundering

centric event, -- thinking this is a London centric event but it has

attracted people all over the world? We have people from 70 countries

taking part in this ride. The classic event later on today, where

Chris Froome and four of the five British team who are going to Rio,

that will be transmitted to 160 countries worldwide. This is talking

about London is open, Britain is open, we are welcoming the world

into the UK. This event will show the UK, London, Surrey, the

countryside in all of its beauty. Driving in this morning, a lot of

the roads and streets closed to traffic in the city centre, that is

quite a spectacle. It is, and it is trying to get people to look at the

long-term office. We need more people to get two wheels. It is so

good for your help, take control of your health, whether it is physical

or mental health. We need to reduce the amount of congestion on the

roads. One day, we ask that car drivers allow us to do this. We hope

that it is a fantastic event which will be in braced by the whole of

Britain over time. We have had some celebrity fans this morning 's

morning, tell me about that. We had Mark Webber starting 100 this

morning, Dame Kelly Holmes, she is riding 46, all sorts of celebrities,

huge about money being raised to charity. ?12 million was raised last

year, over 50% of riders are riding for a child the -- for a charity. It

is a fantastic event. Also a good cause, a lot of charities involved.

It is like the London Marathon on wheels. That is a pretty accurate

description. You can watch the action this afternoon with Chris

Froome, who will be wearing the yellow jersey, giving British fans a

chance to cheer that on. Show your support if you can if you're out in

London today. And if cycling is too sedate for

you, how about this? An American skydiver has entered

the record books by jumping from a height of 25,000 feet

without a parachute. After free falling for two minutes,

Luke Aikins landed safely in a giant net, suspended 20 storeys

off the ground. The event took place in southern

California and was shown live It's incredible, the thing

that just happened. I mean, the words I want to say,

I can't even get out of my mouth, it was all of these guys, everybody

who made this thing happen. Great Britain's Tom Daley has won

every major diving honour He had to settle for

bronze at London 2012. So he's hoping to complete a career

grand slam in Rio. Hi, I'm Tom Daley, and over

the last eight years, I've been working as hard

as I possibly can to make my third Started back in 2008 in Beijing,

I qualified when I was 13 years old and managed to compete

when I was 14. And then in 2009, I won

the World Championships, and ever since I got the taste

of being on top of the world, I've always wanted to win

an Olympic gold medal. Then in London 2012,

it was a home Olympics, and it was the most

exciting thing ever. There were 18,000 people

coming to support me, my friends, my family,

millions watching at home And to come away with an Olympic

bronze medal is something I've To win an Olympic medal and go

to the Olympics in front of a home crowd is just something

that is so hard to put into words. And then after that,

into 2013, was one of my I was injured with a bad tricep,

my back two and a half somersault with two and a half twists

which was one of my dives that I had to redo in the Olympic final started

to go really downhill and I was so terrified every single

time I went to the diving pool. But I managed to get through it,

took a little bit of time out, I took six weeks to go and travel

the world and do what I wanted to do And then I came back to diving

and wanted a little bit of a change. So I moved to London,

I had a new coach, Jane Figueiredo. Ever since then, I haven't

really looked back. I've been working as hard

as I possibly can. In the weight room, with my

nutrition, psychology, everything. And then I also had to learn

a new dive which is a forward three and a half

somersault with one twist. And that's something that was a bit

of a risk, actually, to learn a new dive so close

to the Olympic Games. But we're working on consistency

and now, going into 2016, I feel like I'm in my peak form,

peak shape and hopefully I just want to go out there and win

an Olympic gold medal. I know it's something that

seems surreal to say, but I have to believe that I can win

that Olympic gold medal. I'm going to fight till the very end

with the Chinese divers. A lynx that escaped

from Dartmoor Zoo in Devon has been captured after more than three weeks

on the run. The police had warned that the cat,

named Flaviu, could be He was found after walking

into a humane trap and is Let's have a look at the weather

now. Good morning. A few minutes ago we

saw that report in the Olympic Park, the Ride London sunshine, and for

many of us it will be like that with some lengthy spells of sunshine

through the day today. It is not completely dry, because you can see

there are a few showers in this -- in the forecast. They will be in the

north and west of the UK, with a bit of a breeze in Scotland, showers

moving from west to east. The shower in the Northern Ireland area and a

few in northern Indian, north of Wales, maybe into the Midlands. A

lot of dry weather, 22 or 23 degrees. Through this evening,

showers in northern and western parts of Scotland, elsewhere largely

dry until we see this next area of rain pushing in from the West. Ahead

of that, in to 15 degrees for your lows in the cities, lower in rural

spots. Scotland looks decent tomorrow, 18 degrees, sunny spells.

Cloudy in Northern Ireland, and across anything and Wales it will

not be a great day. Wind and rain moving from west to east.

This is BBC News. The headlines. Downing Street says there are no

plans to review the policy to guarantee increases in state

pension. The former Pensions Minister says the so-called triple

lock protection is too costly. A lot of pensioners are confused,

and they have been sold this idea that the triple lock is the be all

and end all of everything they need. But in most years, the 2.5% is

redundant. Reports are coming in of a shooting

in Austin, Texas. Police have tweeted there are multiple victims,

they are appealing to the public to stay away from the downtown area.

More as we get it. Libby chiefs announce new moves to

that Russian athlete after the drugs scandal, five days before the start

of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Modern-day slavery is described as a

barbaric evil by Theresa May, who will chair a new task force.

An American skydiver has entered the record books, he jumped 24,000 feet

without a parachute. The giant net was suspended 20 stories off the

ground. Coming up in a few minutes, The

Papers. Before that, a full round-up of the

sport. Carl Frampton is the new WBA

featherweight champion. In the early hours of the morning in New York he

beat Leo Santa Cruz in a closely contested fight winning with a

majority decision. Carl Frampton made history here,

becoming the first of Northern Ireland boxer to become a two weight

world champion. How does it feel? It feels good. I don't know what to

say. I don't know if it has sunk in yet, but it is a nice feeling. How

big a statement was this? It was a huge statement. It puts me close to

the top ten, Panther pound. I don't want to be bumptious or big headed,

but this puts me close to being a superstar and the boxing world. I am

over the moon. You said it was the biggest challenge of your career,

but it could also change or life, how will it do that? I made history.

It was the first ever Northern Irishman to win two world titles at

different weight divisions. I am in the driving seat now, big names will

want this belt. They will come family. Financially it will be

rewarding. That is important, when you have two young kids and a wife.

It will help the. I have created a bit of a legacy as well. Who knows

what is next. Maybe a rematch, maybe a fight with Lee Selby. It does not

matter. I am ready for anyone. I just want to be involved in big

fights from here. The new WBA featherweight champion of the world,

Ringside was Rory McIlroy, only Willet, Frank Lampard, amongst

others, on a night to remember. It was a frustrating the day at the

men's final major of the year, the USPGA Championship. That is after

bad weather caused play to be abandoned after a severe delay.

There will be back early today, at midday UK time, but they could be

playing into Monday. The 2008 winner the Carrington did manage to

complete his round, it was a good one, a 65, leaving him four under

par, five shots off the lead of Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb. They

are amongst several players who did not even get to start the third

round. The final round of the women's

British open is under way, Katrina Matthew goes out at 2pm. She has an

outside chance of winning her second major title. That is despite

starting with three birdies in her opening four holes. She slipped off

the pace a little, she was. Today six shots back at ten under par.

Thailand's player leads by two macro shots, this was one of six birdies,

as she moved to within sight of the tournament record winning score of

19 under par. Warrington will play Hull FC in the

challenge cup final after a 56-12 semifinal victory over Wakefield.

They had lost the semifinal stage for the last three years in a row,

but a place in this year's final never looked in doubt. There were

nine different try scorers for Warrington. Toby King scored two of

them. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored on his

debut for Manchester United, they played a friendly against Alatas

aright in Sweden. It came just three and a half minutes to score. He met

Antonio Valencia's cross with ace is a kick, much to the delight of his

new fans. They had to come back from 2-1 down, but ran out 5-2 winners,

Wayne Rooney scored twice, and Juan Mata started and finished the best

move of the match. Some other pre-season friendly

results today as well. That is ahead of Chelsea's Champions League

qualifier second leg on Wednesday. Leicester City got a stark warning

ahead of their first Champions League campaign. That was in Los

Angeles. That is all the sport for now. Now,

here is Gavin with The Papers. Hello, welcome to our Sunday morning

edition of The Papers. With me, the founder of the Black British

business awards and the political editor of the sun on Sunday. The

front pages. The Observer reports that a former Pensions Minister

believes the triple lock section for state pensions should be dropped to

save billions of pounds. The Sunday Express leads on the same story,

claiming millions face a cut to their retirement income if the

Government abandon the policy. The Sunday Telegraph says Theresa May

will pledge to fight modern slavery, which she will call a barbaric evil.

It reports on risks to holiday-makers in Florida because of

the Seeker virus. The Sunday Times says a prominent campaigners to

remain in the EU and former cabinet ministers are in line for

knighthoods. The paper also reveals at least four active to reports in

the UK are being investigated. The Mail on Sunday says women who have

sex changes on the NHS are being given free fertility treatment so

they can have babies after they become men. The Sunday Mirror

reports the BBC will still face legal action from Sir Cliff Richard,

despite a promise to play his new records.

That begin with the pensions story. Grants -- doubts grow over the

triple lock. It is too costly, some secret plan to cut your pension.

There is no more sensitive issue for many people in this country down

whether they can retire into old age with a bit of cash. Of course, there

are 30 million pensioners in this country, they all vote, most of them

#13 million. Not only is it important, it is important

politically. The question is whether the Government keeps the triple

lock. It rises in line with either inflation, wages or 2.5%, whichever

is the highest. At the moment, we will have zero inflation, wages are

stagnating, so the pensioners are getting a 2.5% pay rise every year.

A pensioner now will be ?10 a week better off than they would have been

in 2010. The question is, do we continue to keep this lucrative

system in place for them, or drop it to a double lock, keeping it in line

only with wages and inflation? The Baroness says we cannot afford it. I

somewhat agree. There is only so much money in the pot. We can only

give money that is in the part. Having a triple lock pension

feature, 2.5%, when we note that there is zero inflation and what is

happening with all of the economies in the world, and across the planet

very few western democracies actually have a triple lock feature

in their pensions, so I understand why they would look at that, because

it is costing the economy money, where there is none. They are

preparing us. Let's see what happens with Brexit. It is a great political

speech. David Cameron said last they would not scrap the triple lock.

That ties in Theresa May to stick to it, or does it? She has another

election... Part of it, you must come across this in business life,

and a lot of young people feel that the odds are stacked against them,

they don't have the opportunities that the older generations have.

Younger people have grandparents, so it is not as if we can divide people

up like that, but if there is only so much money the Government can

spend, some people think we should spend it on people under the age of

five, to give them a good start. Some people think that, but we

should not go into that territory for the triple lock against double

lock. There is a pension pot, it is going to rise according with our

economy, but the 2.5% is this random figure, almost, that we may be held

accountable to. Move it down to the double lock. That is in line with

some of the most progressive domestic economies and democracies

on our planet. The Sunday Times has a scoop, Cameron's honours for

cronies, 48 Remain campaigners, donors and AIDS. We can debate the

honours system, but this is the chance for the Prime Minister route

-- to reward people who has done a good job for him and his Government.

It is a bog-standard move when a Prime Minister resigns, he or she

gives an honours list. But this is a good scoop, because we get to know

who he has nominated, and there are 48 people on there. A lot of them,

... It says it is his honours for cronies, it seems to be a reward for

failure, because it is those who lead the Remain campaign in the

referendum, and they are going to walk away with knighthoods and

peerages. Four Cabinet ministers who were on the Remain campaign who will

be honoured, and Jack Straw's Sun will is going to get honoured as

well. People who donated money to the Brexit campaign. Every child

should get a prize! It is quite a bit, two knighthoods, a few games,

nine CBEs, ten OBEs, 16 MBEs. Some of the figures that they are putting

around, 1.6 million contribution, 3 million contribution. When you get a

scoop like this, it throws the whole system into question. The last time

there was a scoop like this, they said it was 13 years ago, and it was

for the people who had declined their peerages. I understand why

they would do that. When we see this, there is no validation or

explanation, it throws the whole system into question. That is a fair

point, it gives other newspapers the chance to reopen this big issue

about, who are these people, why do we elevate them to the House of

Lords, what is going on? It has always been a burning issue. As

Peter Hennesey says, even though it is in the Prime Minister's gift, it

has to go through the scrutiny process, and they go through the

donors with a fine tooth comb. This lady here, Isabel Sturman, David

Cameron's wife's stylist, she will be honoured. George Osborne, the

former Chancellor, who was sacked and gave those scare stories about

revenge budgets and cuts if we left the EU, he is to be made a companion

of honour. There we are. You are not suggesting the stylist has been

rewarded for failure? She always looks good! The Sunday Telegraph,

Theresa May mission to end evil of slavery. This is interesting, the

three pronged strategy to tackle the human rights issue of our times. We

hear prosecutions of some of the stories, the abysmal treatment of

some people in our country, many of whom have been brought here

undocumented and are treated as modern-day slaves. This is a

personal crusade for Theresa May, a year ago she launched the modern

slavery crackdown. Now she is going to back it up with a task force, ?33

million of extra funding. The number of reports, 289 prosecutions, 40% up

on the previous year. She thinks this is one of the biggest scandals

of modern society, between ten and 13,000 people living as slaves in

this country, which is astonishing for the 21st century. People working

in nail bars. Things like this have been going on under our noses and we

are not aware of it, as many people go to nail bars, car washes, most of

which are properly run, but some of them are not. How do you know the

difference? As part of her pledge, she is looking at increasing the

pressure on our police force and task force, so we can look at this

closely. Even though there has been an increase in reported cases, there

are quite a few areas that did not report, and she knows, we all know,

they are happening. They said she was channelling William Wilberforce,

saying it is the greatest injustice of our time, so it is not only

looking at the 13,000 in Britain, but the origin countries and saying,

how are they getting here, what is happening? Let's move on to American

politics. It gives us a chance to talk about Hillary Clinton and

Donald Trump. The Telegraph has got five ways and 100 days that could

put Donald Trump into the White House. I am not American, Canadian.

For a lot of people that I have talked to, Americans I have talked

to, they are not happy with their choice in this election. Some people

dislike Hillary Clinton, some people dislike Donald Trump, some people

dislike both of them. Yes. Hillary Clinton is experienced, she knows

the job, she is the safe choice. As we have seen in our recent history,

people may not be ready for the safe choice anymore. That is one of the

few opportunities they can engage with the political system, that is

why we see the rise of Donald Trump, nobody could have predicted that.

These next 100 days, I have learned the hard way through looking at my

own politics in this country, let's see what happens. The next 100 days

will be a roller-coaster, I can only predict that, I cannot predict what

will happen. There are similar people who don't like either camp.

So many groups of people, youth, who have not been engaged, we talk about

the African-American community, who have not been engaged. We have no

idea which way this is going to swing, I would be interested to see

what the result is. If you had said a couple of weeks ago that one

presidential candidate would encourage publicly the Russians to

hack the other presidential candidate, everybody would have

thought you were mad, but that has happened, and it seems to go on.

This piece in the Sunday Telegraph is interesting, it raises the

spectre of Donald Trump winning in some ways, because he is targeting

the Democrats who favoured Bernie Sanders and don't like Hillary

Clinton. He is sending text messages, popping up on their

phones, with a 15 second video. He will go to these areas where people

backed Bernie Sanders. He will go to the gun lobby areas, one in three

Americans has a gun, lots of Democrats are among them, he will

appeal to them and try to cash in on the dislike of Hillary Clinton among

Democrats. The other thing I noticed, you are right that Hillary

Clinton has got great experience, but that is being used as a stick to

beat her with. She is part of the problem, she has been in the system

for 25 years, and whatever you think about the content of what he says,

he engages the emotions of many people, make the country great

again, and so on, although you might ask when it ceased being great. You

are right. It is only because of my own turmoil that I would learn --

lean toward Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump speaks emotionally, and quite

strategically. Everybody rushing Hillary Clinton

woodwind, she was so prepared. She assumed she would beat Barack Obama

accusers ago. Yes, and Donald Trump is strategic, his targeting of some

communities that the Democrats have not attempted to touch. There are a

lot of echoes not just to the Brexit campaign, but what is going on for

the Labour Party, some people fired up, as Bernie Sanders fired people

up. It is a sort of anti-politics mode. It has fed into the rise of

Ukip Nigel Farage. People like somebody who is not like the rest of

them. The pub and Hillary Clinton has, which is what David Cameron

had, and Tony Blair, they are all the same. But they are good

politicians. Somebody like Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Donald

Trump appeal to those who of fed up with politicians. The

disenfranchisement is so great in whole swathes of the country. I am

scared for how they are going to vote, we don't know. It is the same

thing that happened here, it will fit as in the chain in 100 days. It

is a date to butt into the diary, September 26, the first residential

debate, it will be a ding dong! How would you coach Hillary Clinton to

prepare? Somebody will earn a lot of money. The Sunday Times has got this

story, JK Rowling casts a new spell. The Harry Potter play. The next

instalment. People say it has been brilliantly written. I am a super

fun. I have been in different parts of the world when her books have,

out, coming off the plane, I would go straight to the airport book

store and buy her book. I am so happy, because changing a story from

a book to a screen or to a play, very different. For it to be so well

received, she is a national treasure, it is a great story, and

her shoes are fantastic! She has shoes that match! Something in the

plotline about shoes. She is wearing a ring, which has a snake on it, the

slogan for slithering in hog what's. You must be a fan! Five under half

hours. That is the length of a Wagner opera. It is a test! I can

sit through a five and a half hour Wagner opera, but I don't know if

kids can. I don't know if kids are ready for it. It is an incredibly

long time. Having seen kids queue up, some sleeping overnight for JK

Rowling books, seeing them in King's Cross station as well... Have you

seen Pokemon go? They will be fine! If it is well written, she has them.

The appeal is it is a great story, and we love the idea that magic and

wizards and so on can exist. It is good and evil. All of those great

things of literature. It is so well written. It immerses you in a world.

Just like all great novelists, we are immersed into a world we could

not have imagined, that is the attraction to game of the bones, new

words, new concepts, it is fantastic. That happy note, that is

it for The Papers, our thanks to Melanie and Dave. We take a look at

tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10:30pm and 11:30pm on BBC News.

or two showers dotted around, but they fade away. We keep one or two

in Scotland. We look west for the next area of cloud and rain pushing

towards Wales. Before it arrives, the major towns and cities get down

to this, but it will be cold at in rural spots, dipping into single

figures across Scotland. But we will have a decent day on Monday. Not

such a bad day in Northern Ireland, a bit cloudy. Across the southern

half of England and Wales, it goes downhill, with rain moving from west
