Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
With me are the Times Columnist Tim Montgomerie, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
and John Kampfner, the CEO of the Creative Industries Federation. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with warnings over | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
Guardian lead with Brexit dangers. They say it could increase mortgage | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
costs. Warnings over buy-to-let and a | :00:45. | :00:56. | |
extraordinary picture of a man posing with the man who allegedly | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
hijacked the flight today. The times has that photo again, leading with | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
what hay call a clamp-down on buy-to-let mortgage, the Sun has | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
that photo of that man, the paper reports him saying he is not sure | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
why he posed for the photo. Britain in the EU is the main story | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
for the Daily Mail. It says more than 1.6 million migrants moved to | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
the UK in less than a decade. And the Express leads with the | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
referendum debate. It claims that UK benefits are being spent on what it | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
calls palaces in Romania. And Metro carries allegation about | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
the singer Elton John, claims he vehemently denies. And New Day | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
reports a call to put qualified teachers in every children's | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
nursery. So, there we are. Those are the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
front-page, Tim and John, welcome. Let us kick off with that photo, | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Tim, that is in the Telegraph, one of the more extraordinary photos on | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
the front-page I have seen in the last few weeks or months. It is | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
extraordinary, and you know, we can only presume that by the time this | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
photo was taken he realised that this suicide vest was a fake, it. It | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
is prominent on his stomach there. You would think you would be at | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
least be angry, that this guy had forced you to have this frightening | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
experience and you are... He has a big grin on his face. Extraordinary | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
grin. A cheesy grin, we were working out before, it couldn't be a selfie | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
because nobody is taking the picture, who took the picture? Was | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
it a member of the cabin crew or another passenger? Will he put it in | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
his holiday album. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite as | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
bonkers as that, and, it is incredibly humour aside, to go | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
through an Orr deal like that in the times we are live, after Brussels, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Paris and everything else, and somebody gets on a plane, with a | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
suicide vest, threatening to blow it up, leaving aside the security risks | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
and all that and you survive but your travel plans are completely | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
screwed up by it, then, you know, to find some purported humour. A lot of | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
questions at the end of the day. The day started with everybody thinking | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
this was a terrifying incident but didn't turn out to be quit as bad as | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
we thought. A lot of questions for Egyptian security. This was a fake, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
but still to walk through even with a fake suicide vest is | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
extraordinary. Huge amounts of money have been put into try and | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
strengthen Egyptian airport security, following the Downing of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
the Russian jet. There are stories in the paperers today saying VIP, | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
big chooses in Egyptian society still refuse to be checked an the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
security officers continue feel confident enough to challenge them. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
They feel they might be fired o their jobs are at risk, you can't | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
have security unless everybody is check I don't think this is a fake, | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
there weren't explosive, this wouldn't have been triggered by | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
normal security. This is concerning an unstable man was able to pull | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
this off. The times are leading with what is going to be the big story, | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
the Tata Steel closure, we are hearing this is from union source, | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
that Tata Steel are going o close their UK operations and that is | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
4,000 jobs. It is too late for most of The Papers to do with it | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
prominence. The Times have it up at the top. Well done. That is why I | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
asked you about it. When I used to do The Papers with Beth... I will | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
give you a fiver later. I mean, if you look at it in, in sort of broad | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
sweep historical terms, it is you know our steel industry was small, | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
and getting smaller still, almost sort of you know tiny sort of, you | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
know tokens of of what used to be a great industry. That said, according | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
to what I read about it before the unions backed by local MPs and | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
others were saying, all that was needed was some sort of two-year | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
stay, and the big issue, whether it is a UK Government issue, and much | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
criticism of Sajid Javid for not intervening or whether it is an EU | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
issue, the refusal of Governments not to do anything about Chinese | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
dump, you don't need to sound protectionist to protect an industry | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
that appeared to be run itself pretty well. There is this now mouse | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
glut of Chinese steel. Is there anything that any Government can do | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
about that? Well of course, the people tonight in Port Talbot who | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
are worried about their future, your heart goes out to them. Them. Tata | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
were losing ?300 million a year, they have done almost everything | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
they could do to save this plant. So every taxpayer in Britain, every | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
voter in Britain has to say is that the best use of ?300 million? It | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
could go to hospital, roads, school, it could go to train a new | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
generation of people in the industries that we will be employing | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
people in. John McDonnell suggested renationalisation of the British | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Steel industry? If they are willing to pay that cost, and impose that on | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
other industry, deny it to other public service, there is always a | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
cost for doing these things and in the 1970s we subsidised car | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
industries, and all sorts of declining industry, and | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
unfortunately, it is not the natural advantage now of advanced economies | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
like Britain to compete with lower waged economies in other pars of the | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
world. We have to invest in the industries of for, where educated | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
workforces are the key, creative industries and that is our future, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
unfortunately. Let us have a look a the Express, that I have got their | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
angle on it on page two, is that it is the European Union that have left | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
steel jobs under threat, you sense there, you know, in the run-up to | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
the referendum campaign... The Express, in particular, they don't | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
let any opportunity to slag off the EU, and go past them. Literally on | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
any day of the week you could find many anti-EU stories somewhere. If | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
someone's cat ran away it would be the fault of the EU commission. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
There was much more of a sense of criticism you were reading in other | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
papers many month'sing a, of George Osborne and the Treasury o Mondays | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
ago. In the terms of some of The Papers kowtowing to China and not | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
making the case more vigorously. There was that period late last year | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
when he was in in China and the Chinese President was here, amid | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
huge fanfare for the state visit, almost, it was please buy up any of | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
our state asset, we will flog our utility, railways, whatever. In a | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
way other countries don't do. Since we have moved on the Brexit or the | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
referendum campaign, any way. Let us talk about the Guardian's lead story | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
which is a Bank of England committee warning about an issue a warning | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
over Brexit, Brexit danger, bank issues stark warnings. I think I | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
think on Sunday the Health Secretary said the NHS would be in crisis, we | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
had Nicky Morgan talking about a lost generation. I think this is | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
twaddle. This is scaremongering, this is better to the the people who | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
want to stay in the European Union. I think the Bank of England will be | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
sown by more people as dispassionate, more independent | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
minded. Not part of Project Fear. Contactually. I think there is a | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
scepticism about the financial sector, big bank, the city issuing | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
warnings, people think it is self-serving, lots of people | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
remember how the CBI I and banks said if Britain didn't join the euro | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
it would be a disaster, we were fortunate to stay out of that | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
unemployment creating machines, but this will be, this will be a helpful | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
on the margins. Do you think people will end up confuse by the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
statistics from the two sides? I mean, I mean, the phrase, a vote to | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
leave risks causing a run on sterling, a end cred it crunch and | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
higher interest rates for mortgage payers and businesses, if that | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
message gets through, more than Tim was sayings, some of the more | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
generalise phrase, if it comes down to the pocket book as the Americans | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
would say, and people strongly believe it, then it will have an | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
impact on the result. To me, what is interesting, is that the remain | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
campaign very rarely make the positive case. There is always a | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
double negative at the moment, if we leave terrible things will happen, | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
and that may be true, but I also think, I am strongly in favour of | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
staying, and I think there are positive cases to be made but the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Government and the in campaign appears to have lost its mojo. We | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
haven't got time to go through the positive sides so we will talk about | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
the FT. There is another angle on the Brexit debate, is that the Bank | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
of America are saying this is a word that can't be used by their senior | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
staff when they are talking to clients. We saw, when the Scottish | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
referendum result was so close, some big corporate companies intervened | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
to try and argue for Scotland to say in the UK, and they got burned by | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
it. A lot of you know, enthusiastic Scottish Nationalists recented that | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
a company they were willing to shop at would take this view. People see | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
how divided the country is, the opinion polls are 50-50, banks, | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
investors, shops don't want to get on the wrong side of the public, | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
and... So they are being more careful. This is causing | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
consternation in Downing Street, the fact that big blue chip companies | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
are not coming out and they are not saying what Downing Street suspects | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
they believe, which is leaving would be dangerous, and they are hedging | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
their bets, in that classic way that companies do. If banks like this | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
don't make the case or more importantly, if companies and others | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
don't make the care, either to employees, or more broadly, if they | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
believe that to be the case, then I think it is really... It is less | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
powerful thing than it was. Goldman Sachs is one of the most hated | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
industries the country. It doesn't help in the way it would have done | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
10, 20 years ago. Let us look at the FT. This is to do with Donald | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Trump's campaign, campaign manager being charged with battery after he | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
was supposed to have grabbed a female reporter, I am not sure what | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
it show, that is him supposedly grappling with her, you spent a lot | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
time in America at the moment. Is this going to damage Donald Trump's | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
campaign? He has criticised the war hero John McCain for getting | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
captured. He has mocked a disabled New York Times reporter. He has made | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
some incredibly misogynistic remarks, this is his campaign | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
manager lied about he said he didn't touch this female reporter, he | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
clearly did. Have good independent headline. He has been Teflon up to | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
now, he has got away with things, even one would have sung a | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
conventional candidate. I would hope it would damage him but I am not | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
making prediction. Less than a man to go, if he is nominated will he, | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
has he got a chance of beating Hillary Clinton? He has a chance, | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
she is a row bo tech uninspiring candidate. He is so vulgar, he is so | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
extreme in some of his view, his anti-Muslim, I don't think that will | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
appeal to most Americans. Do you think trump could win? Rationale | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
politics is losing out to irrational politics, whether it is on the right | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
or left. Populist candidates who defy all the rules, are the ones who | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
appear to be prevailing everywhere, so logic suggests he's won't win, | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
but who can predict with certainty. That is hedging your bets. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
I know who I want to win, that is another matter. Many thanks to both | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
of you, we have run out of time. That is it for the paper, before you | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
go, we have got some other front pains that have come in while we | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
have been talking. Let us show you those quickly. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
And the Daily Mirror with the claim against Elton John. | :14:45. | :15:14. | |
He says he will fight tooth and nail. All the front-pages are online | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review. | :15:23. | :15:39. | |
Thank you to John and Tim, that is it from us, good night. | :15:40. | :15:41. |
