Hello, this is BBC News with Ben Brown. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
We will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
First the headlines at 11:30pm: Britain's women set a new world | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
record to triumph in the cycling team pursuit. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Laura Trott becomes the first British woman ever to win three | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The feeling we were getting riding round, it just felt like this | :00:27. | :00:43. | |
And, in an amazing day for British rowers, the men's team took gold | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
and women grabbed silver in the rowing eights. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
And Britain is guaranteed at least a silver in the tennis, | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
as Andy Murray powers through to his second Olympic final | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
In other news: A British woman is the victim | :01:01. | :01:06. | |

new film releases, including the remake of the Disney classic | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :01:27. | :01:56. | |
With me are Caroline Wheeler, who is the political editor | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
at the Sunday Express, and Ben Chu, who is Economics editor | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the Observer, | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
which features an interview with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
in which he criticises his deputy Tom Watson. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
A poll for the Independent suggests Prime Minister Theresa May | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
is Britain's most popular politician, and is even regarded | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
positively by 20% of Labour supporters. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
The Sunday Telegraph has seen a leaked letter | :02:21. | :02:33. | |
from the International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
which suggests he and Boris Johnson are arguing about who controls key | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
The Sunday Express announces that Princess Eugenie will be | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Her mother, the Duchess of York, says Eugenie and her partner have | :02:42. | :02:53. | |
The Mail on Sunday shows cyclist Laura Trott and her team-mate | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Elinor Barker celebrating after Trott became the first British | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
woman to win three Olympic gold medals. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
And the Sunday Times's lead story is about private briefings | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
by Government ministers to City executives that Britain could remain | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
a member of the EU until late 2019, a year | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
later than previously anticipated. | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
So let's kick off with that story in the Sunday Times. What do you make | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
of that? Brexit will be delayed until the end of 2019. We never | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
really knew when it was going to be. We knew that two years probably | :03:35. | :03:45. | |
after the triggering of Article 50. Theresa May says Brexit means | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Brexit, not as you say she didn't say when. It takes two years to | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
hammer out how you are going to leave and interestingly it is only | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
after that process when you are allowed to have normal talks on | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
trade negotiations with the rest of the EU after that. So they can do | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
preparatory talks but nothing solid until after you have left the EU so | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
the fact it has been delayed is very significant. This means an even | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
longer period of uncertainty about what sort of relations the EU will | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
have with us. Will that frustrate some of your readers who voted | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Brexit? Absolutely, this has always been the discussion point about when | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
we are actually going to leave. One of the things about this is the talk | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
about delaying it into 2019, which would only be one year away from the | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
general election, which given the general support that Brexit was | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
given, having won with 50% of the vote, that would be quite a | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
dangerous strategy for Theresa May to take and there are already some | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
quotes from Nigel Farage who is basically suggest in this would be a | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
betrayal for those who backed Brexit and people would take to the streets | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
in protest if this were actually the case. But it is not the first time | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
this suggestion about the delay has been mooted, in fact it was | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
suggested earlier in the week that they would delay triggering Article | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
50 until after the elections in France and Germany, sort of saying | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
that Paris and Berlin would give Britain a better deal, less of an | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
indication they would have to look tough but they would be more | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
sympathetic to our demands. Also on the Brexit story, the Sunday | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Telegraph has the row between the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
and Liam Fox, the trade Secretary. You could argue it is two bald man | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
arguing over a comb given they can't do anything until they have done | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Article 50 and left the EU. But what they are arguing about is who gets | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to call the economic shots in this Brexit game. Fox has written a | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
letter to Johnson and copied in Theresa May, copying in the boss is | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
quite a clever move. He was not impressed by this particular spat on | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
here saying hand over the economic functions of the Foreign Office to | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
me because that is what I should be doing, and you should be looking | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
after the spies and the diplomacy, which is presumably playing to Boris | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
Johnson's strengths. There have always been differences between | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Maurice Johnson and Liam Fox and I guess Theresa May must have known | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
that when she appointed them. And also David Davis, the other | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
Brexiteer in the government, they are the Three Brexiteers. It was all | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
about how soon we would see the sparks fly. The suggestion is that | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Horace Johnson is good at going out on being the ambassador for Britain, | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
rubbing shoulders with the Chinese, who love them, chatting away over | :06:43. | :06:52. | |
the Ferrero Rocher. But you can imagine Liam is a bit frustrated | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
because as you said we can only get to the nitty-gritty of the trade | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
deals once we have actually left, and as we have seen in the Sunday | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Times the suggestion is that that has moved later and later on, so | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
what is Liam's roll going to be? He can put his feet up until then and | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
he has said he wants a role in this, I want something to do. Sparks | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
flying in the government and also in the Labour Party, the interview with | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Jeremy Corbyn saying that Tom Watson, his Secretary, is talking | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
nonsense about Trotskyite influences in the party. This is one of the | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
differences between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, they both have a | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
mandate and were elected to have completely collapsed in the last few | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
days. Tom Watson gave an interview last week saying young arms are | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
being twisted by older hands, implying that what is going on in | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
the Labour Party is a manoeuvre by the hard left and there is not a | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
surge of enthusiasm for Jeremy Corbyn so much as a hard left | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
takeover. Jeremy Corbyn says that is absolute nonsense, and that Tom | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Watson knows it is nonsense. It seems that the relationship between | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
these two key figures has completely broken down. There is also the story | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
in the Sunday Times about Labour like Listing 1000 members -- | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
blacklisting 1000 members a day, as they try and stop members of rival | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
parties and hard left factions influencing the party leadership | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
contest. This is part of the same story, Corbyn is saying this is | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
nonsense, there are an zero these entrists, and the response is that | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
it is happening and there is what is described as a Trot hunt, they are | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
weeding out these people trying to infiltrate the party when they are | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
not pure Labour Party members. All of this is a fight for the heart and | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
soul of the party, we have seen this to all the way to the High Court. We | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
have seen it go to the High Court, the appeal Court, maybe the Supreme | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Court as well and Jeremy Corbyn is saying that is on the cards, about | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
whether they can stop this 130,000 people who will get a vote on the | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
leadership contest, and whether or not he can win that battle and get | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
them to support him. Let's go on to the Mail on Sunday, because they | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
have an interesting story about a new police unit to crack down | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
controls on social media, a Twitter squad they have been nicknamed -- on | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
trolls. What do you think of that? A lot of people will look at that | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Twitter squad and think it is about time as well. There is so much abuse | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
that goes on on Twitter, so much while stuff lying around targeting | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
women and public figures that it seems like the whole thing is out of | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
control. There has been a lot of pressure on the Met and other police | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
forces to do something about it, not to let this go under the radar or | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
unchallenged. The Mail on Sunday takes a very different view, calling | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
it the thought police, saying that tweets will be policed and police | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
will be clamping down on petty jokes and nonserious insults, whatever. | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
That is their view. A lot of people will take a different view. What is | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
your view, do you think it is worthwhile? I totally do, having | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
spoken to so many MPs who have been at the end of this kind of | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
absolutely desperate trolling. It is really nasty stuff and it is not | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
only not very nice, it is really like, is someone going to hurt a | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
member of my family or do something very unpleasant to me? I think the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
fact that Scotland Yard are going to take this man is generally to be | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
welcomed, although if you read the pages of the Mail on Sunday they | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
have built this up as a story and then poured cold water all over it, | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
which is an interesting tactic. It is an interesting tactic. Let's look | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
at the express, your paper. You have a story about cuts to chemist shops. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
This story has been bubbling away for a while. Basically Budget cuts | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
were announced for independent pharmacist earlier in the year at | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
the former pharmacy minister suggested that this could result in | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
the closure of 3000 chemist. The whole policy has been up in the air | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
for some time, a decision was due to be made in July but hopes are now | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
rising that Theresa May is going to drop the proposals. It comes as she | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
speaks to her pharmacist just days after becoming Prime Minister, and | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
he believed she wouldn't just wave through these cuts. It is very much | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
a kind of wait and see. Obviously she has a lot of policy to look at | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
and consider. It may not be until Parliament resumes before we see a | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
conclusive answer to this one. The Express also have on their front | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
page, Eugenie is to marry, a world exclusive. And she is eighth in line | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
to the throne, so she is obviously a very significant member of the Royal | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Family for the top I have also discovered she does a lot of | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
holidays. She is an Olympian level of holidaymaker, this royal. She has | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
been a way I think it is 17 times in the last 15 months, something crazy | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
like that. So is she going to marry, is she not going to marry? It may | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
not happen, according to the statement from her mother. The | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
statement from our royal correspondent, who spoke to a | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
spokesman for Sarah the Duchess of York, they are a couple, but there | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
are no plans for them to get married next year. What I can tell you about | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
this story, not having been party to it during the course of it, it is | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
written by probably one of the best royal correspondent in the business. | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
Her sources are absolutely impeccable, and again, we wouldn't | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
put that kind of story on our front page with a big banner saying world | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
exclusive if there wasn't some truth to it. From what we understand the | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
parents had been informed of their plans to marry and they are | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
renovating an apartment in which they will go on to live. I think it | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
is one of those situations where when is a plan to marry a plan to | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
marry? Is it when you say you are thinking of getting married, when | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
you put the ring on the finger, or when you actually walked down the | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
aisle? I think watch this space on this one. It is definitely the mood | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
music coming from the palace that there is something in the offing. It | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
is definitely a maybe. Let's finally talk about the Olympics which are | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
going rather well. Third in the medal table. Third in the medal | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
table, almost as good as in London, which when you think about it is | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
incredible. Considering that was a big one, all that money, all that | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
pressure, all that enthusiasm, and all that support on home soil as | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
well. It seems to have extended another four years, which is great. | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
And the cyclist, those who did well got extra funding, so it makes sense | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
that that success might continue. The point has been made that cycling | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
is just a medals machine for GB, and I don't think there is much call to | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
stop funding it now continuing -- considering it continues to deliver | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
and deliver. Given the size of Great Britain, if you consider the | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
powerhouses we are competing against, to be third in the medals | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
table is absolutely astonishing and more medals in the offing. We still | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
haven't seen our track and field events which we traditionally do | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
quite well at so this could be an absolutely number year for us. It is | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
difficult times, you have to stay up through the night. I haven't caught | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
much at work this week, but may son is a fan of the diving. Tom Daley | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
has a lot to answer for, as he throws himself into the pool from | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
ever increasing heights. Maybe he will get a gold medal in a few | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
years' time. Thank you for being with us to review the papers. Coming | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
up next on BBC News is the film | :15:27. | :15:27. |
