Don't forget the Olympic coverage begins today on BBC One at 1pm. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Hello and welcome to our Sunday morning edition of The Papers. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are Political Commentator Vincent Moss, and Prashant Rao, | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Deputy Europe Business Editor from the International | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The first day of Olympic action features on most of the front pages. | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
The Telegraph has an image of British swimmer Adam Peaty | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
who has broken the world record in the 100m breaststroke. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
And it's lead story says the Prime Minister will launch | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
The Observer also has a photograph of swimmer Adam Peaty but leads | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
on a warning from scientists that a key climate target may be missed. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The Sunday Times says the Rio Olympics has been rocked | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
by a new doping scandal involving a Kenyan official. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
The Independent speculates that the Russian team | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
will be completely banned from the Paralympics - | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
a decision we are expecting this afternoon. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
And it carries a picture of a Syrian refugee competing in Rio. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
The Sunday Express leads on fracking, reporting that | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
according to a consultation due out tomorrow as much as ?10,000 could be | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
And the Mail on Sunday has the same story, saying the Prime Minister | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
is planning cash pay-outs to families, marking | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
a departure in approach from the previous government. | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
So let's begin with fracking. The mail on Sunday has, will you hit the | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
frat pot? Stunning pay-out to families in fracking areas. And it | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
has Theresa May's cash pay-outs. This is an interesting story. It's a | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
great headline, "Frackpot". It's important for Theresa May to be | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
spelling out what she's doing an energy policy particularly with the | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
hiatus of Hinkley Point and the nuclear drive. What's happened is | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
the government are trying to spell out that to try and ease some of the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
residential fears of people who live near the sites, not the dangers but | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
this anti-nimbyism view, instead of the money going to councils, it | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
could go direct to householders. David Cameron said in 2014 it would | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
go to community projects, Theresa May said instead it will go directly | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
to households. If you live near one of the sites you could get up to | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
?13,000, says The Mail. Inside The Mail it looks that certain areas | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
such as Manchester where you may only get ?1000, it really is a | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
postcode lottery. It reminds us that we have got a new government. We are | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
finding out new things and new policies. Exactly. This is Theresa | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
May's theoretically going to make this policy announcement soon. We | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
are learning things about how we'd would have lent in a leadership | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
election but we didn't have a leadership election for the Tory | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
party. She sent a lot of time at the Home Office but that was a focused | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
portfolio. It's interesting to find out things now. The United States is | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
obviously a much bigger country but is there the same kind of green | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
anti-fracking protests, and does paying money to local people help | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
ameliorate that? To a certain extent it does. The Mail refers to this | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
about the fact that in the United States, it has changed the debate on | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
fracking. There are also environmental concerns about | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
providing money to households, which lessens the opposition. It has | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
changed the debate in the United States where fracking is a bigger | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
provider of energy. Let's move on to The Sunday Telegraph. It's got May | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
to lift ban on grammar schools to promote social mobility, that is | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
their take on the story. This has been talked about, the Conservatives | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
have said this for a long time. The catch is, if you have selection | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
there is always winners and losers. Some people go to excellent grammar | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
schools, under the old system some people went to secondary moderns | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
which weren't very good. A lot of this is about investment. The world | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
has changed, it is a hugely popular issue among conservatives grass | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
roots. We live in a different world to when these schools were hugely | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
popular and very successful, certainly by those who benefited by | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
them. In areas like Kent where you have a lot of these schools, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
families move into the area inflating house prices, they also | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
get private tutors to make sure they pass the relevant exams. There is an | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
argument that to expand grammar schools now we'll just entrenched | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
that elitist role rather than benefit the people who most need it | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
which are bright children from disadvantaged families. Unless there | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
is an element that guarantees people from less well-off backgrounds can | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
go to the schools I think it's hugely problematic. Theresa May as a | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
very small majority, is hugely popular amongst Conservative MPs, | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
but whether in fact she would need a new law and whether a majority of 12 | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
would be enough to get that through Parliament is a big question. One of | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
the arguments in favour of grammar schools is that for those lucky | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
enough to go to them, they are an engine of social mobility. They have | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
helped people get on, get into parliament and even become Prime | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Minister. Theresa May went to a grammar school. She alluded to this | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
in her first speech, she talked about trying to help the less well | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
off, consideration for people to move them up the social chain. It is | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
interesting now we are learning about Theresa May bits and bobs | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
about what she believes in which is kind of interesting how it's coming | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
out. It is. One story which fascinates people around the world, | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
a good take on this is inside The Sunday Telegraph. Trump's Beek of | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
calamities may finally be his downfall, I wouldn't hold my breath | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
to be honest -- trump's week of calamities. He still seems to be the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Republican nominee, what do you make of that Prashant? It is dangerous to | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
suggest this might be the week that is the end of Donald Trump. That may | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
have been last week, the week before or the week before that. Or next | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
week. It's so hard to tell. What further calamities can befall his | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
campaign, we don't know but he still soldiers on. It's amazing. These | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
ones are just in a nutshell, he didn't endorse the leading | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Republican in the country, the Speaker of the House of | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Representatives for real election. He did endorse him, then there were | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
comments he made about the family of a Muslim service man killed in | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
action. Along with the comments it is the intransigence in the face of | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
the opposition to the comments and the refusal to back down. When | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
you... When you put it in a list of things that have happened, it is | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
kind of remarkable. There was a great list I read which is Donald | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Trump got into a feud with a crying baby. It's got incredible at this | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
point. Politicians are supposed to kiss babies! LAUGHTER The Telegraph | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
talks about women in his top teen comedy any person he mentions is his | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
daughter Ivanka and he didn't seem to be aware of Russia had taken over | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
the Crimean peninsula. He said Russia wouldn't be invading the | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Ukraine any time soon! Apart from the fact as journalists this is the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
gift that keeps on giving, Gerald Ford years ago when talking about | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Poland and not knowing it was a member of the Warsaw Pact, that | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
seemed to finish him. He is the Energizer Bunny, he keeps going. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
There is a view in the world now that, I don't care what the papers | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
say or the BBC says, we've got our view and if we like them, there's | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
nothing you can say, it's all a conspiracy, and I'm sure he didn't | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
mean that! If you like Donald Trump they really like Donald Trump in the | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
United States. He has still got a huge residual support. On that note, | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
let's move on to the Olympics. Adam Peaty, it's great that he beat his | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
own world record. He hasn't won the medal yet, we hate later today he | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
might. Endless fascination with this. -- we hope later today he | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
might. It's great what he's done. From my perspective, because of all | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the things happening in Rio and around the world it's not as | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
enthusiastic a time to be excited about the Olympics. The | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
infrastructure problems, the chaos in Brazilian politics and the | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
craziness in the world generally, I feel like this Olympics is not the | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
kind of... Let me go on the others. The Observer has got "Russia faces | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
ban from the Paralympics" and The Sunday Times has got an excellent | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
story, Rio Olympics rocked by new doping scandal. That's part of it. | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
The Olympics brand, however much we enjoyed the Games, we want to see | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
athletes compete fairly and we wanted to be clean. We get endless | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
stories, The Sunday Times has great journalism on this. So many people | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
cheat but we can't take on face value but the winners are the best? | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
That is a problem. One of the any ways around that is to see a massive | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
expansion of testing and where everyone who wins a medal gets | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
tested immediately so you know all the winners are clean. The Sunday | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Times has returned a lot of great work on this in the past and it's | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
gone to a Kenyan official called Major Michael Rotich, a sting when | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
they have asked him if he would introduce us to people who can get | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
surround doping rules. Apparently for ?10,000 he said he would do | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
that. He he was only playing along but it looks like serious | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
allegations and a huge potential for corruption. One of the problems the | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
paper 's face is because of the time difference, we four hours ahead, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
it's difficult for them to look current on the Olympics in the way | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
the BBC can. Because the deadlines of papers tend to be temp Yemen on a | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Saturday night, maybe midnight. A lot of the big events happen at 2am. | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
A lot of the Sunday papers have lots of big pieces on the opening | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
ceremony which seems like a long time ago! It seems like ancient | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
history! Wythall sport now, with Lance Armstrong and cycling, with | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
Fifa, and now we've got this. We want sport to be clean and we want | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
to believe in something good. The Sunday Times has an editorial, 2016 | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
the year of the doping Olympics. What is normally a really wonderful | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
sporting event where everyone gets very excited and lots of emotional | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
things happen, it doesn't feel like this is going to happen this year. | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
It feels like everything will be a bit tainted by the idea that are | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
these guys clean. Especially when you know a lot of them aren't clean | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
and what they have to give up in order to do this, is extraordinary. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
The dedication of someone like Peaty to set a world record is | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
extraordinary. Equally extraordinary is the idea he just gave a thumbs | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
up. He clearly expects to do a lot better than this and probably break | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
the world record again. His family sounded incredibly grounded. His | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
father said Sheffield was the furthest he's been, and suddenly | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
he's in Rio watching his son. We tend to judge this through the prism | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
of British success. British people do really well, fantastic. If they | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
do less well, I suspect will be less interested! LAUGHTER Fingers crossed | :13:02. | :13:02. | |
for Adam Peaty. Thanks to Vincent Moss | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
and Prashant Rao. Just a reminder we take a look | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
at tomorrows front pages every evening at 10:30 and 11:30 | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
here on BBC News. | :13:11. | :13:15. |
