Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are Lucy Fisher, Senior Political Correspondent | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
at the Times, and John Prideaux, US Editor at the Economist. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Let's start with the Metro, leading the investigation into the demise of | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
BHS. Today a Government committee heard claims the retailer's owner | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Dominic Chappel threatened to kill one of the Company's executives. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Financial Times also outlined BHS and proportionate Chappel's claims | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
that the former owner prevented a buyout of the feeling retailer. The | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Guardian features hello Kontinen were making history as the first | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
woman to win the presidential nomination for a major US political | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
party. The express leads an EU referendum and activation from | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
government campaigners that the Government is trying to rig the vote | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
by extending the registration. The Telegraph also leads on the | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
referendum. We will touch on hot a few of those | :01:15. | :01:29. | |
stories. That start with the mental and BHS. Those proceedings in that | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
committee room today, incredible. A threat to kill BHS Bosque is not | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
amazing, this is one part of the amazing, this is one part of the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
mudslinging going on today. Chief Executive at Darren Clarke said | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Dominic Chappell rang him up and screamed at him and threatened to | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
come down and kill him. Extraordinary claims. Yes, and | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
lifting the lid to a degree on what goes on at this company. Absolutely | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
bizarre. Yes, some of the language is amazing. And the personal nature | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
of the vendettas. I enjoyed the FT did a follow-up, Colin Dominik to | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Pelo and ask him if he had a gun and if he had intended to kill the Chief | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Executive. His quote here is when asked about vaccinations he denied | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
threatening his former colleague and pull differential times I don't have | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
a gun, of course not. Be ridiculous. I thought that was wonderfully | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
po-faced. Let's bring up the picture of FT. It has the three members of | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
BHS, former members, on the front page. Mr Clarke, Mr Chappel and | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Michael Hitchcock. Former CEO. Lucy, we can have a laugh and frankly, it | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
is probably unlikely Mr Chappel really intended to take the brunt of | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
this man's head, but 11,000 jobs on the line and there is no question | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
that it has been clock of Alcorcon clock up in the way that this | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
company has been run. Absolutely, you have done it to Pelo admitting | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
we knew nothing about retailing come as a former racing driver, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
three-time bankrupt, huge questions three-time bankrupt, huge questions | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
take on a major concern like BHS and take on a major concern like BHS and | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
you are right. Above and beyond this hyperbolic language, 11,000 people | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
stand to lose their jobs. ?500 billion pension fund deficit and | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
there are huge problems and great sadness for many people racing | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
redundancy over this crisis. Yes, Sir Philip Green will appear next | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
week. That'll be fun to that will be colourful. The other sessions have | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
been interesting already. You are right, companies go bankrupt all the | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
time and new Company start-up, people lose their jobs, which is | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
terrible and companies create new jobs. Thing is as different here is | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
That is a real to do -- a real taboo That is a real to do -- a real taboo | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
and accommodation of that with the extraordinaire amounts of money the | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
owners took out of the company before it went bankrupt is pretty | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
toxic and shameful. Indeed. Quite a few people will be watching that | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
committee next week. The Daily Express, outrage and a bid to read | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
the EU vote. We know the computers crashed about this time last night. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
When people tried to register to vote in the EU referendum. Thousands | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
of people were left unable to do so. As a result they've extended the | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
deadline but some people smell a rat? This is the claim from Fort, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
that this is a conspiracy theory by some of the more stream fringes -- | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
from a vote Leave. The computer system was crashed on purpose to | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
allow the Government to extend the deadline because they believe it is | :04:58. | :04:58. | |
young people have left it late and young people have left it late and | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
young people are more likely to vote Remain. It is a pointer very tough | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
for government campaigners to make that if the Government is so | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
concerned that people might have been prevented from signing up in | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
the last hour before the deadline, it really should be taking the same | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
rigorous approach towards sorting out the problem with Miss registered | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
EU nationals there have been Polish residents to eating pictures of | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
their polling cards that this shouldn't have. Some even have | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
postal ballots. There is a disparity with which the Government is | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
treating both sides. So we know there is a bit of a whiff of | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
something going on? I think if they are going to sort out the voter | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
registration problem is most evenhanded, they must make sure the | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
right people who want to vote cancelled and The People who | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
shouldn't must make sure they are taken off the electoral roll. It is | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
highly likely that a lot of those people who registered last night | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
will probably be young and those people who might decide it makes | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
sense to Remain. That is right. That said, I think the idea it was a | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
giant conspiracy is a microcosm of one of the arguments that the Vote | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Leave campaign has made. On some of the wilder fringes of that argument, | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
the entire EU is a conspiracy by elites, Oliver forecasts that have | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
come from organisations like the IMF are part of the same conspiracy. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
There is something paranoid in there but I agree with Lucy, it is | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
important to be evenhanded. Going on the eye. Interesting front page. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Brexit there will be blood, bold Yuvraj over Hitler -- Bodell right | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
over Hitler, vote Brexit and helped Isis. Some of the scarier headlines | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
we seen a domain message, less hysteria, more facts. Laudable | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
comment, but clearly whatever information is out there, one side | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the other. It is as simple as that. the other. It is as simple as that. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
I don't know. Perhaps a controversial view on this, that | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
there is a perforation of fax, organisations like the fact and UK | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
and the changing EU. There is the BBC! Go to our website! People are | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
still saying we cannot get facts. That is it. I think people need to | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
take responsibility. The problem is there is not a clear answer, people | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
have to engage their critical faculties and come to a conclusion. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
My sense is the public are crying out to be told the right answer. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Exactly. People want to be led down a path. They don't want to make up | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
their mind about this on their own. That is right. Thus would be an IQ | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
for no elections ever. Lots of people wonder why this referendum is | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
taking place in the first place? I would say there are lots of facts | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
and you can look at them and make up your mind. That said, this is also a | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
call on what you think will be best for the country in ten or 20 years. | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
It comes down to a worldview, do you think the country is better off in a | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
tight alliance with other neighbours or if you think it is better off on | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
its own. That is a hard thing to boil down to facts. It is not | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
conclusion you can get a clear answer on the absolutely. But both | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
sides are exploiting that vacuum in certainty. Yes. Absolutely. The | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
headlines we have here, Boris saying the EU's calls with the same as | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Hitler's, a premise are saying Isis would back Brexit, you should vote | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
Remain. It is ridiculous. I saw George Osborne told Andrew Neil | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Brexit is like a snake. All of this vivid language has gone over the top | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
and some of the arguments being made are outlandish. We will speak about | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
The Telegraph in a moment. It's front-page lead concerns one of | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
seven suspending his partnership in protest over the wake of the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
referendum is being held at handled but before that, another Tory MP, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Sarah Walton, has revealed she has defected from Vote Leave and will | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
vote to keep Britain in the EU. She says Vote Leave's claim ?350 million | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
could be saved to spend on the NHS is not true and that has contributed | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
to her decision to switch sides. For someone like me who has long | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
in public life, I could not have in public life, I could not have | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
stepped foot on a battle bus that has at the heart of its campaign a | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
figure that I know to be untrue. And I think they know to be untrue as | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
well. If you are in a position where you cannot hand out the Vote Leave | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
leaflet, cannot be campaigning for that organisation. OK, Sarah | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
Woollaston going from Brexit to Remain full to the front page of the | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
delicate dial -- Telica at John Knox, Margaret Thatcher's former | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Defence Secretary during the Falklands War. He has decided to rip | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
up his membership card for the Conservative Party. He says he is | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
disgusted by the way that David Cameron and George Osborne had been | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
running this campaign. Yes, Margaret Thatcher's Defence Secretary during | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
never ship cards saying the debate never ship cards saying the debate | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
has become so poisonous -- his membership card. And putting that | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
with the premise Janet George Osborne is otherwise he only blaming | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
that side? I think in a sense this is crystallising worldviews as you | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
said. If you feel very strongly pro-Brexit or a bit that data is | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
being misused and arguments getting too over the top, people are getting | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
fed up on one or other side. I suppose it is partly that Mr Cameron | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
has not taken the attack that -- the TAK that Harold Wilson did when he | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
stood away from the fray. David Cameron has been swinging punches. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
Lots of people argued he should have stayed back and apart from anything | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
else that will make it harder him to sit around the Cabinet table with | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
all the colleagues once it is over a given they have been shouting at | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
each other the way they have. I think it is interesting. I've | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
noticed from speaking to friends that whatever size you were on using | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the other side is manipulative facts and being outrageous and making | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
ridiculous assertions about history. A lot of this is in the eye of the | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
border. OK, on to The Guardian. Here is Hillary. Looking very happy on | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
the front page of The Guardian. She is the first woman to win the | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
backing of a major part in the US for the White House. This is | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
history. Yes, yet strangely it doesn't feel that much like history. | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
I think the big ceiling that was shattered was in 2008 when Barack | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Obama became president, the first African-American president Hillary | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
Clinton did not get the nation that time around. I have been struck by | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
how little soap by the campaign has been about, hey, it's a woman. That | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
is a sign of progress because of that with the one thing people were | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
fixated on, they're perhaps would not be much to her candidacy. I | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
suppose the fact she is a woman is going to become much more central to | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
the debate now because she is dealing with a man who was a bully | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
and has been incredibly disparaging and has been incredibly disparaging | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
in public to women and is seen as a sad misogynist by some. Yes, | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
absolutely. This will come to the forefront, not least because Hillary | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
is a complex character that had this long history in the public eye as a | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
senator a first Lady. We seen her as a wife and politician and that is | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
interesting dynamic and it will be great to see how that plays out. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Briefly, Bernie still in the race. Why isn't he dropping at? I don't | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
know, the reason he is still there is he wants to have some influence | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
of the convention in Philadelphia and in July he thinks he has more by | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
staying in. I think that is doubtful. He has lost and is under a | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
lot of pressure from Democrats. He only very recently became a Democrat | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
to contest this is a registered Independent for years. Of Democrats | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
are angry about him continuing to go on and think he should get out. He | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
is doing .com's work for him. He is apparently chatting with Obama | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
tomorrow, maybe the president will have the thing to say. Finally, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Lucy, there is a fault in this dishwasher in the middle of the | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Daily Mail. Why is that? This is a sweet picture of a fox, a rare good | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
news story. We are more used to hearing Fox's creeping into homes | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
and turning out rubbish or attacking young children. This is a sweet and | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
fluffy looking picture of a fox that has crept into the pits need into | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
the house and decided it would have a sleep between the dishes and | :14:00. | :14:09. | |
glasses. It is Fox News, fantastic. That was dreadful. One of the things | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
this made me think is that the internet not only is it playing | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
havoc with the business models of newspapers, it is taking over with | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
the news agenda. It is an internet meme and amazing what has happened. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
We are speaking about it here on the venerable BBC. There you go. It has | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
been great having you in. Many thanks. Is it for the paper tonight | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
but before we go, these front pages have come in while we've been on | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
air. The Times says Vote Leave has been boosted by the support of the | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
chair of JCB, Lord Bradford. Tory MP Sarah Woollaston switches sides to | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
join the Remain campaign and on the referendum, The Sun features were | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
the audience members from the ITV TV debate this week, accusing the Prime | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
Minister of 11 so much uncontrolled immigration that part of his | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
hometown are now no-go areas. All the front pages online you can read | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
a detailed review. And you can see us there too with each night's | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
edition of the papers being posted shortly after we finish. Thank you. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
Thank you a lot in. Goodbye. Good evening. Once again today the | :15:21. | :15:35. | |
heat and humidity triggered some more thundery downpours. The | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
temperature about | :15:39. | :15:39. |
