Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
With me are Steve Richards, the political commentator | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
and broadcaster, and Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Thank you for being with us. We want to die then because there has been a | :00:28. | :00:42. | |
lot of news. In the Telegraph tucked away is the story about Jeremy | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Corbyn being heckled by his own side. As we've just heard, the | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
Trident vote has been carried. It's sort that the vote was carried by | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
politics. Yes. I'm recording a radio series about Corbyn's first year and | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
it was interesting recording it because in a way the schism with his | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
MPs began over Trident. The very first Labour Party conference last | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
September when he was interviewed about whether he would ever present | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
the nuclear button and he said he never would. His defence spokeswoman | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
said this is not the way to lead a Labour Party. He had only been a | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
leader for about a week and here we are a few months on with the second | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
leadership contest happening, and this Commons later night. In a way | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
it is one of those things that happens in politics. I den bring | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Corbyn for not changing his mind. He has always helped these views. He | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
said in the leadership campaign he would stick with this, but he has a | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Parliamentary Labour Party where many MPs have support for the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
opposite way and it is just Labour splitting from this. It is a mess. | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
There were three positions. Abstention, voting against and | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
voting with. It is one of those things where it is a consequence of | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
what happens when he was elected leader, but where there is no | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
obvious escape route, in other words it would completely undermine him, | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
Corbyn, to announce he did not believe what he has been talking | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
about in the last 40, 50 years of his political life. If he doesn't, | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
there will be a schism. This coming on the night of hustings to try and | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
find that so-called unity candidate to stand against Jeremy Corbyn, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
potentially. As Steve said, it highlights the split in the party. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
Corbyn is perhaps in June with the majority of his members still, which | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
is the challenge for Angela Eagle and the wind Smith who are trying to | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
find ways to unseat him. -- Owen Smith. Whoever comes forward, the | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
big challenges see whether they can do the -- defeat Corbyn in the vote. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
They had better be good. They need to produce some pretty special. That | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
is part of the problem. We shall see. Martin, move of one. Execute | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
and you are out. This is the message from the states and international | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
community as a whole to Turkey. The Turkish president in response to | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
this failed coup, as well as arresting an enormous number of | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
people and suspending officials, he's suggesting he might restore the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
death penalty. Whether he would is another matter, but the European | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Union has a policy that all its members cannot have the death | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
penalty. This headline refers explicitly to that. The foreign | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
affairs spokesperson says if you do that, that is the end of your route | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
into the EU. The Germans have said the same. Lots of developments | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
continuing in this attempted coup and a lot of concern from the | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
American and European side to the extent of this perch he is having. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
From the outside it does seem as though he may be using this as an | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
excuse to round up anyone he doesn't like. Isn't it interesting in the | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
context of that now distant EU referendum debate which now seems | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
like ancient history, one of the arguments was, don't carry on with | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
the EU, Turkey is about to join. At least the EU has some bargaining | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
power by saying if you carry on like this you won't get what you want, | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
which is to be part of the EU. Britain out of it has no bargaining | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
power at all. They have because Turkey still wants to be part of the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
EU. Onto the sports pages of the Guardian. Sorry, you are having to | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
share. This is all very collegiate! Times are hard! This is the story of | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
Russia's state-sponsored drugs programme and the fact that Putin | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
has responded by saying maybe they will be split in the Olympic | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
movement. What I find staggering about this story is just the scale | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
of it, if it is proven to be the case. Government security services, | :05:50. | :06:02. | |
hiding widespread doping. It is astonishing if it has been carried | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
out on that scale. You asked the question, is it worth all that? What | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
will happen? If it is on that scale and Putin warns of this blitz, when | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
you throw in all the other compost above things going on at the moment, | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
to have this admittedly on the front page of the sport section of the | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Guardian, it is a pretty explosive story. It was comprehensively | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
organise. There were drilling holes in the walls to seize the containers | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
with the positive sample so they could reopen them and put back clean | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
samples. It was very highly organised and the reason it was | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
worth it to the Russians, particularly in such you where they | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
came out as the top medal winners, Putin is obsessed with his country's | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
national prestige. And the Olympics of political. Football and politics | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
interconnect, but this is huge. This connects with Putin, the future of | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
Russia, international diplomacy. It seems the athletes already banned | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
from the Olympics and it's whether it's extended to the rest of the | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Russian team. The track and field people have already gone. It will | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
have to happen otherwise it will destroy all readability. Some are | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
competing under the Olympic flag. Very complicated. We will finish | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
with the Financial Times. Two stories. Take as with the top one. | :07:52. | :08:04. | |
Thousands on the promenade in Nice. Minutes silence for those who died. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
The focus though was on the Prime Minister. There was a great response | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
to the emergency workers and a negative response to the French | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Prime Minister. I was in France last week before this happened. Even then | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
people were saying there needs to be a stronger response to the problem | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
of extremism. This is accentuated it and despite the state of emergency, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
they are having these large-scale attacks and they cannot get to grips | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
with the terrible problems affecting them. It is a massive political | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
problem for the French authority and a terrible event that is been | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
marked. It is unfair to blame elected politicians. I know they are | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
ultimately responsible. There has been criticism of the French | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
security services. I am not an expert on security, but it seems | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
difficult to stop something that happened in Nice we have this loner | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
in a truck. We took about how the Olympics become political, this | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
clearly does with the French presidential elections next year. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
People, various people, marine Le Pen coming in from the right, she is | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
going to make this a key issue. I think it is unfair to blame them, | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
but they need to get their act together pretty quickly. I can see | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
you want to come in, but time is tight. My thanks to you both. Before | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
we go, an update on that news out of Germany concerning the man who had | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
attacked a number of people on the train in Wurzbueg. We are now | :10:03. | :10:03. |
