Welcome to our look ahead to the papers. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Let's have a look at some of the front pages. Financial Times leads | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
with a survey that suggests is the Brexit vote business activity has | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
experienced its sharpest drop in at least 20 years. The Telegraph says a | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
human rights solicitor is facing a criminal enquiry after pursuing | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
abuse cases against British soldiers who served in Iraq. On the front of | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
the Metro, a story of a woman who survived a life-threatening Schumer | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
and in the same week a won ?61 million on the lottery with her | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
family -- life-threatening tumor. The claim that Staton 's fuel the | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
rise in the number of people developing diabetes. The Guardian | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
leads on claims from readily -- Labour leadership contender Owen | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Smith that the party could bust apart and disappear if Jeremy Corbyn | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
remains as the leader. The announcement armed police will be | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
deployed on foot patrols across London for the first time is the | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
main story in the Times. More on David Cameron's lead to resignation | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
honours list after a Tory donor rules himself out of consideration. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Plunging out but piles pressure on Bank of England to head off | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
recession, everyone is expecting a rate cut tomorrow. Yes. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Everyone is also expecting it to have quite a significant effect. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
This is a headline that doesn't pull its punches, the pressure is now on | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
for the Bank of England and its governor, Mark Carney, to head off a | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
recession. The problem is, we have had historically low rates of | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
interest rates for seven years. His hands are tied. Probably he will | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
announce quite a small cut. Because, they are already so low, will have | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
quite a small effect. And yet everybody is now looking at the man | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
who, two months ago, warned a Brexit vote could take us into recession, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
to try to get us out of it. Turning, part of the problem is, interest | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
rates are so low, people are talking about getting too negative interest | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
rates -- Tony. If the economy is not stimulated enough through monetary | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
policy measures. Maybe the pressure is going to be on fiscal policy, tax | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
cuts, great investment, maybe that is where we will have to head. That | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
makes sense. The reality is since the credit crunch in 2008, they have | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
been fighting off a recession all the time and keeping interest rates | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
low. It is time for investment to pump some money into the economy. To | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
try to build some confidence. Unfortunately with the Brexit thing, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
people are still nervous. I don't think Brexit will happen. Really? | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
They will back away from it. Every indication is... Brexit means | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Brexit. She might find there is no definition of Brexit if she looks in | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
the dictionary. Let's go to the Telegraph. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Dramatic picture on the front page, armed and ready, the new face of | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Britain's anti-terror police. This is the first lot of 600 armed to the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
teeth police marksmen, Tony. This all stemming from what has been | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
going on across Europe in the last couple of weeks. We live in a | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
climate of fear where people now think it is acceptable but police | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
armed to the teeth walk the streets. I'm not so sure it is a good thing. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
We should be looking to get guns off the streets. I am reading the story, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
the Times gives more detail, some of the things they are talking about, | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
armoured BMW motorbikes that can get to the scene of the action. It | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
sounds a bit like Robocop Bond, to me. I am not so sure it will enhance | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
our safety. It will encourage the nightmares, the climate of fear.? | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
You think it will have the opposite effect of reassuring the public? | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
People will be scared. The reality is, because this is an island | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
nation, despite what people think about immigration, because of the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
way we are set up at the board of control, there is less opportunity | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
for outrages we have seen in Belgium and France to happen in Britain. We | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
all feel under threat, now. We will feel even more under threat. I don't | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
feel reassured by senior policeman with a gun on the street. If you | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
look to France, Kate, they have been under a state of emergency for | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
almost a year. The police are routinely armed. They have different | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
levels of armed capability as far as different forces are concerned in | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
France. The police are routinely armed in Germany yet this is where | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
the terror attacks have been taking place. The police are also routinely | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
armed in Northern Ireland where I grew up and I have to say I agree | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
with Tony. It didn't do much to reassure people. I think what it | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
did, it was a constant reminder of the terrorism we were facing. The | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
express is very interesting with its headline, describes these cops as | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
protecting us from terror. That's the problem. Terror is a feeling. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
This is absolutely what the terrorists want to do. They don't | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
just to take our lives. They want to take our life, quality of life, they | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
want to change how we live our lives. I am very sympathetic to what | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the police are trying to do. I think they trying to do two things, one of | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
which is ace show of strength, to the terrorists. On that, they might | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
be successful -- a show strength. But for the public to be reassured | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
by this, that is mistaken. The key to a successful | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
anti-terrorist campaign is intelligence. I think that is what | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
we have in this country we had of parts of Europe. There is much more | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
of a working relationship between the police, those in law enforcement | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
and the public here. Certainly weigh more than in France or Belgium. In | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
intelligence is important. -- certainly weigh more. Look at the | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
root of why the potential terrorists come for. In Northern Ireland, the | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Catholic population at the lowest crime rates in Britain, before the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
troubles. They became the most politicised. In fact share's terms, | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
criminalised community. They did not see it that way -- in Margaret | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Thatcher's terms. You need to stop the dissatisfaction, the alienation. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
You do that through education and investment. The people that were | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
most at danger in this community is radicalised Britain's. We need to | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
stop that, that is the most important thing -- Britain's | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
population. Guardian, Labour on edge of a split that would finish the | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
party says Owen Smith. Is this just rhetoric? "Vote For me and the party | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
would split" or does he genuinely think this might happen? A | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
combination of the two. An awful lot of Labour MPs now fear that the way | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
they put it is that Labour doesn't have the God-given right to exist. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
They have seen what happened to the Democrats in the south of America. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Only a couple of decades ago. They realise that you can lose millions | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
of voters. They are very worried about this. At the same time, one of | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
the rows within the leadership is about who is causing the split. Both | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
sides are accusing each other. That cannot be denied that that is part | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
of what is happening. Owen Smith is presenting himself as the unity | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
candidate. He is the saviour. He will save the party. They reckon | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Hillary Clinton could win Texas, this year. LAUGHTER | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
So, the Democrats will come back in the south. It starts in one state. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
It starts in one state and let's see how far it goes. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Tony, it will be difficult for 170 odd MPs, Labour frontbenchers, who | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
walked away from Mr Corbyn. If he wins, and it looks like he will | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
probably win, it will be difficult for them to go back to the benches, | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
isn't it? This party is in disarray, it is in meltdown. Corbyn appeals to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
the rank and file but he is not a leader. You can admire his | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
convictions, you can admire his political views. But the Labour | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
Party needs someone to grab them and say, OK, on the morning of the | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Brexit referendum, this is our best opportunity since the Tony Blair | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
era. He says he did that. He didn't, he should have called a general | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
election that morning, he should have made sure every one of those | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Labour MPs the night before were behind him, were going to stand and | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
say the same thing, to say that they would need a general election and we | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
needed now. The problem is Corbyn is not a leader. The worst problem is, | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
I don't see a single Labour MP that is a leader. I wouldn't trust any of | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
them. Is that the problem. We saw the line-up running against Jeremy | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Corbyn the time of the leadership campaign ten, 11 months ago and they | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
didn't get a look in, did they? No, they didn't. There was a feeling | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
among a lot of Labour voters that they were very... Dispassionate. No | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
fire in their belly. And Jeremy Corbyn have that and he has | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
galvanised tens of thousands of young people to join the party. But | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the problem is, you can follow a leader and be behind him and throw | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
everything into him. If it is a bad leader, he will take you down a bad | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
alley. I am sympathetic for Jeremy Corbyn, more than most, I am a | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
traditional Labour heartland voter. Liverpool. I look at it and say, | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
this is a party that is devoid of leadership it is untrue. People have | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
rejected Jeremy Corbyn, their image of what a Labour leader image should | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
be -- they have projected their image. Unfortunately he is not bad | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
leader. The Guardian, Mr Murray. He has cheered us up over the last few | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
weeks in this pretty wet and soggy summer and the horrible stuff as far | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
as terror attacks are concerned. He will carry the flag for Great | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Britain during the Olympic opening ceremony. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Four years ago, he has talked about Scottish independence, he was in | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
favour of Scottish independence. At the next Olympics, would he be... | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Carrying the flag for Scotland? Which flag would he carry? That is | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
not going to be happening in four years' time? I am not making any | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
bets about that whatsoever. This is a great choice. Since then, Andy | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Murray has worked very hard on the Davis Cup team for Great Britain. | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
That's true. Probably what he shows is maybe that kind of line from Walt | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Whitman, he is large, he contains multitudes. Not just one thing at | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
any time. Especially given his Wimbledon win, he is a very good | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
choice. One of the greatest British sports men ever. People don't warm | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
to him and I don't understand why. I don't understand it either. They are | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
getting warmer to him, don't you think? As time passes and he has | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
chilled out, comes across as a little less surly, we have taken him | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
to our hearts, haven't we? We have had to. He has pick so many. He is | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
wonderful. Maybe he has a bit of... What appeals about Jeremy Corbyn. -- | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
he has won so many things. And Donald Trump. There is now a move | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
towards authenticity. Andy Murray has never pretended as well. That is | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
very true. Talking about the Olympics, the Games' legacy on the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
front page of the Guardian, odd suburb but nice park, the legacy for | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
London. As always, the problem is hyping up. | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
We were promised quite a lot. In order to build the political | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
consensus, to spend quite so much money. As you remember. Billions. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
And then it was a more billions because it went over budget. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
You could argue with hindsight this is what politicians always have to | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
do to get these big things through. The legacy questions are pretty | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
serious. That will hang in the air for a long time. Same with the | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Telegraph. Mr Trump. The suggestion, Tony, that | :13:06. | :13:18. | |
he might want to, possibly, if he ever became the leader of the United | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
States, use nuclear weapons. He asked three times, why can't we use | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
them? I think a little physics lesson might help. LAUGHTER | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
What you mean, mass casualties? It will affect global weather, that | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
sort of thing. He is very much... He is a can-do kind of guy. We got | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
these were pinned in the locker... Come on, why not?! -- these kind of | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
weapons. You hope Americans vote for him because certainly in the last | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
few days, he has had a bad few days. It is beyond parody. If you made a | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
film about this campaign, people will say that is ridiculous. I am | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
sure someone will. That is the thing, isn't it? There are a lot of | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
people, now, in the United States... Even the Republican party, they | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
think he might even drop out. That is the suggestion. On the flip side, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
in the past couple of weeks, there have been a an awful lot of people | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
in America saying, yes, well, that he won't be able to... -- there have | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
been an awful lot. He will be curtailed by... Officials. Someone | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
will stop him. He will be the president but you don't get to just | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
run around and do all these things. There are officials. There is the | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
Senate, there is Congress. Every time he opens his mouth, he suggests | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
that argument. The brief going into the convention was that they had to | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
act more presidential. He passed the period where he could | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
be the wild outsider. He has to act presidential. "Why Can't we bomb | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
everyone?" Interesting question. Brexit. It can help us transform our | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
countryside, Kate. A fabulous story on the front of the Telegraph. A | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
suggestion from the head of the National Trust that it the UK's | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
farmers, who are a little bit nervous at the moment in the wake of | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
the Brexit vote about what exactly will happen to their EU subsidies | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
should do less food production and open up the countryside to more wild | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
flowers, bees and butterflies. I just cannot see that going down | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
particularly well. Not really. We will ruin the economy but get the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
English meadow back. It works for me. The head of the National Trust | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
has been talking to Andrea Leadsom about this, stay tuned for your | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
daisies and wild flowers. Don't forget, the front pages are | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
online on BBC News, the website where you can read a detailed review | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
of the papers. It is there, seven days per week. You can see us there | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
with each night's edition being posted on the page shortly after we | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
finish. Goodbye. | :16:21. | :16:23. |
