12/06/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are Rob Merrick, Westminster Correspondent

at South West News Service, and broadcaster Natalie Hayes.

The Metro leads with the mass shooting in a Florida nightclub

The Times has the same story - it says the attacker swore

allegiance to Islamic State before carrying out the killings.

While the Telegraph has IS claiming responsibility for the massacre -

the terror group is "waging war" on Western gays, it claims.

The Express carries some hostile reaction from Leave campaigners

to David Cameron's warning that a vote to quit the EU could mean

And the Daily Star says England could be thrown out of Euro 2016

We will begin with a couple of the newspapers tonight are reporting the

shooting of 50 people at the gay nightclub in Florida last night. The

metal has it, massacre in gay clubs it says, at least 50 guns down by

Daesh fanatic. It is immediately characterised as a terror attack and

for some people it doesn't feel the fact that this was a gay nightclub

has been emphasised enough? Kind step back from the horror of the

attack itself to consider the way the papers have reported it. Really

it is striking the emphasis is very much on the fact that this person

declared allegiance to IS and not, as I was travelling in this evening

it that obvious we would speak about the hate crime carried out by

someone who clearly is homophobic and hate gay people and we are in a

city where we know violent homophobia is not something that is

restricted to Islamists or extreme Muslims, there was nail bombs a cat

-- attacks insult will carried out by a white British man. Yes, it is

surprising at first sight the emphasis is so much of the fact he

swore allegiance but I guess that is perhaps what the newspapers are

considering to be the most headlining aspect of the attack and

he did apparently swear allegiance to Isis. Hillary Clinton and Barack

Obama did say this is a terror attack, this is a hate crime. The

fact it happened in this place that is supposed to be a safe space for

people late at night and the horror of the attack is palpable. And on

pride weekend. I suppose you could argue that the reason it coincides

with pride is not coincidental, it's that people felt more able to kiss

in the street is the court the metal begins with and as Islamic begins

with the Islamic jurist angered by the sight of two men kissing, if

only to mind is that pride is a time when generally people who feel they

cannot display their affection feel that this is the time we can do

this, it is a time of acceptance and pride soldiers especially awful that

it was today, although 50 people dead would be all for whatever time.

The Times has the story as well. He swore allegiance to Isis and then

shot 50 people dead. Of course, Isis, Islamic State, so-called, have

claimed responsibility. It feels like an awkward thing, in

appropriate thing to say that somebody allied to them, they say,

he was an IS fighter, but there is no suggestion that anyone in the IS

hierarchy knew about this in advance. I think it is one of those

questions that will be played out on the European media and plaguing the

FBI because it appears to be the case that they spoke to this man

more than once had decided he was problematic but not something they

needed to pay much attention to and now look. It is worth pointing out

that The Times has not gone with the idea of it being a gay club anywhere

in their headline, it is in the first paragraph but not in their

headline at all. It is in a subheading but not the top. Again,

sitting here in Britain urges much more difficult to get hold of

firearms, the fact he has an assault rifle and handgun that he seems to

have bought within the last week is always so apparent to us. Yes, it

seems just sitting here that the main reasons why this awful crime

was carried out was one that the man hate gay people and secondly that he

could so easily get hold of an assault rifle in America, people sat

around this table discussing it for many years as being absurd and self

harming to America but nothing has ever been done. Rather than as we've

discussed a second ago, the ices allegiance was to Isis encourages

moguls like this business to does not -- like this person because

gives people the impression it would carry out acts like this around the

world. Building are thinking about this evening was what impacts it

would have on the US election and anyone who thinks there is no love

that Donald Trump wants think we need to think again because

immediately he has thanked people for their congratulations for him

being right that Islamic extremism and appeared to be no thought to be

dead or their families. Donald Trump saying he reaffirmed his commitment

to preventing Muslims who are foreign-born from coming into the

US, more reaction to that as well. Lesson away from that story. -- let

us move away. The FA urges fans to behave as Uefa threatens expulsion.

That is on the style in the -- in a second as well. Russia and England

could be thrown out of 2016 F there are more scenes like we saw last

night. And the day before and the day before that. It seems like a

rotten time to be in English football fan because essentially a

spend a couple of days watching people who presumably do not

represent you and why you like football behaving appallingly on the

streets of Marseille and then you get attacked or run at or alarmed by

Russian fans and suddenly like on fear parents someone says I will

bang your head together. It doesn't seem like a joyous European cup so

far for British fans. I presume everyone will now put their

proverbial neck in and behave better. The Daily Star says England

face axe from your 2016, Russian fans attacked us but we get warning.

England or English fans, or English people, were insult doesn't involve

some of those street battles if not in the stadium, which seemed to be

more of a charge by Russian fans. I need to declare an interest of the

Welshmen because we have a great interest if England are kicked out

before the game on Thursday. Reading the story that seems 1 million miles

away. Russia is being investigated because it has cost the charge in

the stadium and England. They behave badly and Poland several years ago.

Yes, but Uefa said they are not carrying out investigations or

sanctions just know against England because the violence England fans

were pulling for the place outside the stadium so it seems a little

relief from we are not investigating you too if that happens again we'll

get you out, so we're a long way off from being kicked out of the

tournament and just as they've not been responsible for any violence on

the ground, which seems crucial. Yes, if you cannot control it in the

ground there is something seriously wrong. The fact they were fireworks

were surprising to me. I assumed when they said extra security that

fireworks, which are explosives, dangerous things, but probably not

be there. Turns out I was mistaken. Let that be a lesson to me. Some

witnesses we spoke last night said they could not see police in the

stadium, although there must have been some. One would presume so.

They could be segregated as well. And the disguises, they say people

dressing with England shirts. And very king -- confident England will

line up against well on Thursday. Your worried or happy Christmas a

little or happy Christmas a little of both?. Vindictive Cameron tries

Brexit -- Brexit blackmail. More of this florid language. This is David

Cameron's suggesting yesterday that there be a 40 billion pound black

hole if Britain leaves the EU and some of that would affect pensions.

That was the danger. I couldn't help but smile when read the intro. For

years and years he has been accused of bribing the elderly into voting

Conservative by throwing these goodies at them and now further

evidence of how the EU referendum is turning so much of what we thought

we knew on its head that David Cameron appears to be turning on

pensioners and surprisingly the express that sells heavily to all

The People, -- to older people. The other bizarre thing that perhaps

points to the Prime Minister's desperation is that one of the

things he said might be under threat are free TV licences but as everyone

knows, we the BBC will take it on over the next several years. That

was strange. I pointed that out last night, it didn't escape me. I was

seized upon it to pointed out that there was a slight elasticity about

that claim. It feels strange for him to be warning pensioners when he has

spent so long giving them goodies many people would see but what he

wants to do is to try and make more tangible for people the threat he

believes exists from ask pulling out of the EU and one of those would be

what we would lose with this black all we have to fill. Both sides

never agree on any statistic. It is probably -- properly exhausting that

of the statistic ever want to focus on is that David Cameron's voters

tend to be older people and more likely to vote Tory than younger

people. Older people tend to be more in favour of leaving than remaining,

so his natural constituency of older people and pensioners who are in

favour of leaving bags some considerable percentage, that is The

People he now needs to target. Normally has target demographic, The

People he finally cannot win over. He will have to look at the young

people. You might wish to use that tendency

idea with this next story, Labour voters and what they might tend to

do. Labour supporters flood Brexit camp. Jeremy Corbyn is going to be

more visible apparently next week. There was the suggestion in one of

the papers this morning that suggested he was going to take front

stage this week, I am sceptical of that. The PM has two fight every

day. On the 16 days to go or something, less than that. Actually

he once we've to be out there fighting. Jeremy Corbyn is said to

be lukewarm at best about EU membership. We are told he is going

to come out fighting, he has been campaigning but has not tended to

get the publicity the various warring conservative side is getting

the campaign. I am sceptical end the thought that he will win over Brexit

because just because he was elected does not mean Labour voters as a

whole will identify with him. Tony Blair might have more of an

influence on the way labour voters will vote. It was an influence some

time ago that Labour and the Conservatives who are drawn staying

in the EU should have made it clear this is not about party politics

because there is a cognitive dissonance for people who normally

vote Labour for example. That's exactly what I think is playing on

people's minds and I think not unreasonably the remain camp are

pretty keen to hear Jeremy Corbyn say I understand you would like to

give Cameron a bloody nose but this is not the time. It is Tom Watson

who has given that vote. Do not give the vote to punish the government

job as Prime Minister. I imagine job as Prime Minister. I imagine

that is what they are hoping Jeremy Corbyn will say to his largely young

fan base. And did as a reference to a psychodrama which is a good word

to use. Basically the whole thing seems different. The clarity that

many people are say they need to understand the issues is probably

diminishing for some people. That is probably true and the constant

refrain from voters during this campaign has been the more people

talk the fewer facts we get and I simply do not see that changing over

the next whatever that is, 12 days. I battle let's look at the Telegraph

finally. The Queen and Prince Philip in an open top car making their way

down the Mall as part of the birthday celebrations. I think the

Queen is ready to draw an end to it, telling the driver to put his foot

down. Via macro yes, I think they were running late and for these

standing outside in the rain and realising they were going to be late

for the people they were meeting Sheetal Prince Philip and he banged

on the roof of the car and that appears to be a gesture to say Harry

upsell and boot your foot down. They caught the time up and that was 11

minutes so that is good going. It must have sped down the Mall.

You'll both be back at half eleven for another look at the stories

Coming up next we will be back with more on the shootings in Orlando in

just a
