Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
With me are Hugo Rifkind, Columnist at The Times | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The Financial Times, which has on its front page | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Hilary Clinton, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
who today discovered that the FBI would not be recommending criminal | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
charges be brought against her over her use of private emails | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
The Daily Express leads with a story on the rise in the number | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
of migrants and refugees entering the EU by sea. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Quoting the International Organization for Migration, | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
the paper says the figure has soared by 60% | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
'Meltdown' reads the Metro's headline, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
with a story about how commuters who use Southern rail services | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
are losing their jobs because they are unable to get | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
to work due to cancellations and delays. | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
The Daily Star leads with Wales's historic Euro | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
semi-final against Portugal tomorrow night, the biggest match | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
The Guardian has on its front page a warning | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
from the Bank of England that risks to the economy have | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Theresa May's overwhelming victory in the first | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
round of the contest to become the next Conservative leader | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
and UK prime minister is the Daily Telegraph's lead story. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
The Daily Mail also leads with the Home Secretary's victory, | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
speculating over who will clinch the second spot in the ballot. The Times | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
also has more about the race to become the next Prime Minister. We | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
start with the Daily Telegraph, Theresa May coming out of number | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
ten, she has not got the job yet, but she is in pole position, to lead | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
the party. She is storming ahead with the MPs, 165 votes from the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
MPs. Andrea Leadsom is following on 66, Michael Gove on 48. Some | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
suggestion that some of Michael Gove's support might be coming from | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Theresa May's supporters because I would rather she fight him rather | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
than Andrea Leadsom -- they would. It now depends on the membership, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
when the MPs have voted it goes to the mass membership of the | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Conservative Party, the first time a sitting Prime Minister will have | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
been put into office by a mass vote amongst party membership. That has | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
never happened. People are not sure what the Tory membership will do. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
70% of them voted Brexit, Theresa May was backing, albeit softly, | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
Remain. That being said, they could do anything, they also voted for | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Iain Duncan Smith. Or are they? Since then we have at the rise of | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Ukip, and some people believe many of them are the extreme wing of the | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
Conservative Party, they have melted away to Ukip, now you have a | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
centrist party. David, the thing is, Theresa May, she was Remain, but she | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
has made it clear that if she gets the top job she will carry through | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
the will of the people. That will persuade people in the party who | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
might be worried? Yes, she was fought Remain, and that was about | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
all she did in the referendum campaign. -- she was four. It is a | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
mystery to some of us, if you were inside Downing Street, and you knew | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
the Prime Minister had put your head above the parapet like David | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Cameron, you might resent one of your most senior ministers saying | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
they were in favour of a Remain and then disappearing on a sabbatical, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
as it appeared. How will that go down with the majority of Tory | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
members who voted out? Anecdotally, in the West Midlands, I was well | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
aware last weekend of what some Conservatives from Warwickshire | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
thought about Theresa May's performance in the referendum | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
campaign. Even though they won? Yes, absolutely. They did not see her as | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
part of winning. And now to the Guardian. We all have those moments | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
when we say things which we hoped would not get out there in the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
public domain. Twitter has allowed people to say many things and hide | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
behind the shield of anonymity. Kenneth Clarke and Malcolm Rifkind. | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
Parents, what are you going to do? That is your dad. This is a great | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
story. Ken Clarke, and Malcolm Rifkind, they were doing interviews | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
on Sky News, and they had a chat, thinking they were not being | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
recorded, and they were being recorded. Everyone thinks because | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
they did not know they were being recorded and they said these | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
interesting things, they must have been things they wish they hadn't | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
said. In fact they have said the same thing on air, on the record and | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Ken Clarke said Michael Gove was behaving like a student politician | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
early in the way, which is not that much different from what he said | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
today. Both of them have said that they are not fast at all. -- fast. | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
It does matter. What they said was not matter at all, it would seem, | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
and Ken Clarke, 75, he would not care. I would expect that. But I'm | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
still, as an old-fashioned journalist, uneasy about the way in | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
which this generation private conversations without too much of a | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
question seemed to be accepted that they go into the public domain, if | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
they turn up. I find that slightly uneasy. What it does for trust in | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
our country, which I think is something which certain elements of | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
the media bang on about, quite a bit. It is something. Going back to | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
what Ken Clarke did say. It was fun. LAUGHTER | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
He said with Michael Gove as Prime Minister we would go to war with at | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
least three countries at once. Andrea Leadsom, he said so long as | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
she understands she is not to deliver on the extremist you good | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
things she has been saying. Regarding Theresa May, she is a | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
bloody difficult woman, his words, but you and I, talking about your | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
dad here, you and I worked with Margaret Thatcher. That is meant to | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
be a condiment. Theresa May comes out of this quite well. -- a | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
compliment. Strong and resolute, the kind of person who might be able to | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
lead the country through the rigours of Brexit. I want to know the three | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
countries that Michael Gove might lead us to war against. Is one of | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
them Scotland? LAUGHTER And now to another story. Brexit | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
fallout fears gripped the market. Some of us were aching today for | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, to use the words I | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
told you so, but he didn't. Here we have the concerns that he has | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
expressed today, especially interesting. I have no memories | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
during the Brexit campaign of Boris Johnson or Michael Gove telling us | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
that forecasting a 31 year low of the pound against the dollar, that | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
was not part of their forecasts, but still, that is where we were today. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
A special concern, the governor was saying about commercial properties, | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
let alone domestic properties, the price of houses. Very sensitive | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
issue. For a Conservative government. Hugo, the more we talk | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
about this, Jacob freeze Mogg was on the news channel, saying he blames | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
the BBC -- Jacob Rees Mogg. My eyes rolled around the roof was we are | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
talking this up, that is the suggestion. Is that part of the | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
problem? I blame Jacob Reeves Mogg for this happening and the rest of | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
his Brexit crew. -- Jacob Rees Mogg. The pound is at $1 32, that is very | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
bad. What irritates me, the pound is way down, the FTSE is slightly up, | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
people say it can't be that bad. People need to understand the link | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
between a plummeting pound and the FTSE going up. The FTSE is made up | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
of British companies, yes, digging things out of the ground in Africa | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
and selling things in dollars to the Chinese. If it becomes cheaper to | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
buy into British companies, that is the fact. But the sky has not fallen | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
in, those who voted for Brexit would say. Two weeks? We are not going to | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
come out of the European Union, for two years, minimum. We will not have | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
concrete figures on the real short-term effects of Brexit until | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
November. Just to observe, Mark Carney is an impressive man, isn't | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
it? When he gives these performances. Jacob Rees Mogg did | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
not think he was. As Mark Carney said last week, he said, tell me | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
which bit was I wrong about? On the Daily Mirror, Judgment Day, the | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
Chilcot report, long delay, comes out tomorrow. Tony Blair is ready | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
for a blistering attack. It is a big day, after the scandal of the report | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
that is seven and a half years behind schedule, the original | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
schedule. You can only imagine the 179 families who lost their loved | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
ones in the war. We are promised there will be the answers to the big | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
questions about the intelligence services, yes, and the military and | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
work they, actually responsible for the equipment they did or did not | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
have -- were they. And that is before you get to the politicians. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
This will centre on Tony Blair, of course, and no one would argue that | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
the intelligence was wrong and that you have a situation where he | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
himself will have to say this was wrong, that was wrong, and the | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
other. Very quickly, is this Jeremy Corbyn's finest hour? It could be. | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
If you look at what has been happening in the Labour Party, the | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
coup that has not happened, this is why. They could not hit him before | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Chilcot, because if they are undergoing a leadership contest and | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
he turns out to be the great point man on Chilcot, attacking Tony | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Blair, then he soars, we will see what happens. You are going to | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
France tomorrow for the big day? Yes, lucky guy. I've been brushing | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
up my Welsh credentials, I got the name for it. -- I've. They've been | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
fantastic. In what they have achieved, the Welsh national team. | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
You can argue how they have done it, but the great thing, they have a | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
serious chance of actually winning. Amazing. Everyone will be watching | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
the game tomorrow, and Chilcot. Busy day. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
