Funerals are held in Turkey after two explosions | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
near a football stadium in Istanbul killed 38 people. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Many of the victims were police officers. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
With me are Rosamund Urwin, Columnist at The London Evening | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Standard and Tom Bergin, Business Correspondent at Reuters. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
Good to have you both here, giving up your Sunday's nights, such is | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
your dedication... And mine too! Let's look at the front pages... | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
The Times says Theresa May will back steep rises to council tax bills | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
this week in an attempt to plug a gaping hole in | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
The Telegraph leads with comments from the Home Secretary, | :00:48. | :01:01. | |
who has criticised what she calls the "unacceptable" rail strike | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
that is expected to shut down one of the country's busiest commuter | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Donald Trump's attack on the credibility of | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
The Metro leads on the reported spat between Nicky Morgan | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
and Theresa May, over the Prime Minister's | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
The Independent reports on fears that some countries | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
will try to frustrate Britain's future status in the World | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
And the Mail reports on the case of Alexander Blackman, | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
the Royal Marine jailed for killing a fatally-wounded insurgent | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Let's look at how the Daily Mail reports -- the Financial Times looks | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
at this story. He would say that, wouldn't he? It's unsurprising that | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
he is unhappy that the CIA has said that Russia interviewed in the | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
presidential elections. And of course, if we go back if you months, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
he appeared to call on Russia, to hack and release Hillary Clinton's | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
e-mails. He backtracked on it after he said it, but we have quite a long | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
history here. Anyway, what is interesting here is that we got both | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Democrats, as you would expect senators, but also Republicans, John | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
McCain and Lindsey Graham, saying that the probe should not be a | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
partisan issue. That it must go ahead, and President Obama is | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
ordering a full intelligence review of Russia's meddling. The other | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
complication, if you like, is the fact that somebody considered to be | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Secretary of State, is rather close to Vladimir Putin, we are led to | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
believe? Yes, covering the oil industry, he took a poor view on | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
sanctions, has a long business in doing deals with Russia, some of | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
those. What is interesting, the Trump position was described as -- | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
trump described it as ridiculous. He did not approach the State | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Department to seek any kind of guidance on how he should handle | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
these phone calls. It is not clear why he is ruling out Russian | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
involvement so clearly, the CIA and the FBI are clear that Russia was | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
involved. The FBI is a bit more cagey about the intention of the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Russians, whether it was too back Hillary or not, but it was | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
interesting. Before the election we saw Donald Trump regularly assert | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
things that had no basis or fact. We've seen a couple of things since | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
the election, the claim that there was a voter fraud against him in | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
some jurisdictions. It will be interesting to see if he will | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
continue with this policy of asserting things as fact without | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
basis, and how it will play out as president. People can choose to take | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
you from your comments before you get elected but you would expect a | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
bit more candour and clarity with what you say. Some would say that | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
there is an assertion without much fact, he's not having the daily | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
intelligence briefing which is a long-standing practice that | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
presidents and President-elects get. His quote is "I'm a smart person, I | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
don't need to be told the same thing every day". Before he is even | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
elected, if we get this report, a full investigation that is supported | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
by both of the parties, it cast doubt the legitimacy of his | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
presidency, if there is some sort of Russian involvement? Even without | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
him knowing anything about it, nobody is suggesting that he was | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
aware of it. At the end of the day, he's the president. And both sides | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
have said that he's going to be president, there's no particular | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
reason to rerun the election, even if you find there is Russian | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
involvement. Today, Nate Silver, the well-known American pollster, or he | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
was saying that it could have had an impact. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
You can separate the two on his legitimacy with knowing the fact. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
They don't have too get in the way of one another. I looked back, the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
US meddled in the 1996 presidential election in Russia. Obviously, Boris | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
Yeltsin getting re-elected. There are allegations that they were | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
receiving, a nudge from the White House. Political consultants from | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Washington out there. It's not to say that nobody else has ever done | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
this... No, it isn't. Let's not even get started on Latin America. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
The Daily Express. Anger at new bid to block EU exit. It's another legal | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
challenge? Yes, any effort, I guess, to block EU exit would cause anger | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
for the Daily Express, they are very keen on Brecht said. -- Brexit. | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
We've counted at least four. This is another one, basically the argument | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
is even if the government have the right to take us out of the EU, does | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
it mean they have the right to take us out of the European free trade | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
area? The latest legal challenge is saying that they don't. You know, we | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
have to see what happens in court. But we became aware of this at the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
end of last month, and the number of lawyers in London kicked it about | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
and generally thought that the government did have the power to do | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
this. And one or two happened naturally together. I'm not sure how | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
much legs this claim will actually have. The Daily Express could sleep | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
safely. All I am thinking, it's more evidence for the fact that we should | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
not be reducing an incredibly complex thing to a binary question | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
that we put to the public. We should have had a more sophisticated | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
approach. It would have been a much longer | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
question, like the one the Italians were trying to answer one week ago! | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
About bike chambers and things like that. But | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
if they dare do it, and many MPs have said that they would not, but | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
if they really did not want us to leave the single market, MPs would | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
be able to vote against it in Parliament, surely? Technically, if | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
they wanted to but you have to look at the facts on the ground at the | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
moment. And the facts on the ground at the moment, MPs could stop | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Theresa May from triggering Article 50. That seems to be the current | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
legal position. MPs this week in Parliament expressed great | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
unwillingness to do that. It seems the way that this one will play out, | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
we will trigger a tackle 50, negotiate and maybe there will be a | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
second thought at some stage we get that deal -- trigger Article 50. Any | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
activity, legal action to cancel Brexit before that, it looks | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
somewhat unlikely given the comments we saw from MPs and others over the | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
last seven months. It feels like any divorce, just creating a lot of work | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
for lawyers and filling their pockets! 50 them in the Supreme | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
Court the other week... Hmm. Home Secretary strike warning, this is a | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
walk-out where if you travel on Southern Railway any time, we hear | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
some pretty bad stories about how it is run. This will only add to it. | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
The industrial dispute is about the introduction of driver only | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
operation trains which obviously Southern Railway like to bring in. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Staff do not want that. They claim on their side that there are safety | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
issues around that, and it is better to have somebody to do ticketing and | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
customer service. The way that most people simply experience this is a | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
complete nightmare getting to work. They have quite little sympathy with | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
both sides in the end. The way that this has played out, Southern have | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
not handled it well in terms of PR either, all along the way. Now we | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
have another three-day strike this week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Whateley. What hope is there that it will carry on? We have seen other | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
strikes recently averted, relatively last-minute. The Daily Telegraph is | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
going a step further and saying that the government should look at taking | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
action. And looking at the strike rules and union rules to have some | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
sort of impact on it. The situation here seems to be one of technology. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
The train company says that they can operate perfectly safely without | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
having conductors. The rail regulator agrees with the train | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
company. We've had these for 30 years and we don't seem to have... | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
We have enough period of time to compile it, if they were | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
tremendously unsafe. The union compiled a dossier and looking | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
through it, there were accidents and driver only trains -- on driver only | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
trains but when you look at them, it's not clear to link to the fact | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
that it was a driver only train. This is obviously going to continue. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
The next step would be driverless trains and driverless cars, maybe it | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
is a sign of things to come? And this story, lastly, the High Court | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
ruled that the union was allowed to stage a walk-out. Tomorrow, they | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
will be in court appealing that decision, again it is more work for | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the lawyers! The other story in The Daily Telegraph, Boris refuses to | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
back down as he meets Saudi king. This is where the Foreign Secretary | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
was not particularly countrymen to about Saudi Arabia a few days ago, | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
and then he had to do his diplomatic best whilst meeting came Salman. -- | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
Kenya Salman. Normally, you something less | :11:16. | :11:25. | |
positive to say to them. You could say that his comments today, as The | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
Daily Telegraph was saying, he's not backing down, but not soothing the | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
situation, the Saudis can only read it has saying, Boris does have an | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
underwhelming view of us and our behaviour, we will have to wait and | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
see the final impact, when it comes to trade deals or arms purchases. | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Although the Foreign Minister here is being very diplomatic himself, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
saying that Mr Johnson's comments had been misconstrued and taken out | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
of context which is quite generous? That is what Boris and soap was | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
claiming that it is interesting. Theresa May has put him in such a | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
high-profile position but one that keeps them quite far away from | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
government, and also, you know, in the everyday sense. It does not give | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
him anything to do with Brecht said. So, it is quite interesting as to | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
how it will play out -- Brexit. He is such a loose cannon at times but | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
the Foreign Secretary has taken a lot of money away from his Telegraph | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
column and his book that was meant to be coming out this year. He had | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
to hand back a lot of money... We cannot have that. The Times have | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
an investigation on their front page. | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
This council tax discussion has been brewing for a long time, social care | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
does not have the funding it needs. Councils are bearing the brunt of | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
those costs. And the NHS takes it because people are not moved out of | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
hospitals quickly enough into social care. Chancellor Philip Hammond | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
wanted to address this in the Autumn Statement last month. And | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
essentially, there was a desire not to... They did not want any more | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
costs on that squeeze, the jams, the squeezed middle group, and The Times | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
investigation is setting out a lot of the problems, that we knew were | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
there, but they got quite concrete things, at least 250 residential | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
care homes have closed since March. A huge number of complaints. People | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
stuck on walls. Some doctors have referred to it as bed blocking. I | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
would add that it is slightly more complex because those people going | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
into social care have incredibly complex needs and should stay for a | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
bit longer in hospital because they need to go to places that had to | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
provide incredibly detailed and complex care, C don't want to shut | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
them out of hospitals -- so you do not. Any increase in council tax | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
bills will... That money will be spent on social care, is that | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
guaranteed? I guess one could. It is part of the bigger problem, as you | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
mentioned with the NHS, this funding. Going into a position where | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
you have inflation next year. Wage growth is expected to be moderate. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
The expectation is in 2017 we have flat, at best, real income growth. | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
The question is, where does the money come from? People will feel | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
the squeeze, and it will be Brexit related. Whether you believe it is | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
good or bad for the economy, we will see inflation and wage growth will | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
be moderated. These things are under more threat at the moment, it seems | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
there will be more to come with this space... Let's finish with the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
headline of the night, in the metro. The wronged trousers, that reminds | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
one of Wallace and Gromit, of course! Politics again, Westminster | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
left stunned over the farce over the PM's clothes. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Some leather trousers came in for criticism... Why are you looking at | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
me? It's too obvious to ask Rosalind about this! It interesting, is it | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
one of these things that only comes up about women, that women are | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
pressured? In some ways, no. George Osborne was beaten up over his ?10 | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Biron Burger when he is trying to look street, I guess... And there | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
was the stance thing as well... And they mentioned his hair cut at one | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
point. It then again, David Cameron, I believe, he had expensive Savile | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Row suits and it was not questioned. Look at the French Prime Minister on | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
television, men do not appear to be criticised, perhaps because it is | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
casual. Theresa May created a rod for her own back when she started | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
talking about equality. And she spent ?995 on these expensive | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
trousers. Was it cause she was wearing them at a photo shoot? Maybe | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
she had been dressed by the stylist, do you mean? There's been a lot of | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
interest in her shoes over the years as well... I know, I can't get | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
enough! But there is something slightly interesting in this story, | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary, she has been very | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
critical of the government in the past over grammar schools, and was | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
being allowed to come in and meet with other ministers. She is in | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
favour of a soft Brexit. She was heavily pro-remain. She has been | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
cast out of this meeting. I think there is an argument of playground | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
politics, it does not seem a reason to cast someone out. It doesn't seem | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
very sisterly, to comment on another woman's clothes, and... Alistair | :17:01. | :17:09. | |
Burt was told, don't bring that woman to Downing Street again, and | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
she replied, I don't get bored by a man to these meetings. We will do it | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
all again hopefully with a few more stories for you at half-past 11. You | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
will both be back again. Coming up next, Meet The Author. | :17:22. | :17:34. | |
You can understand the brain in many ways if you are not a scientist, as | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
a biological mechanism | :17:39. | :17:39. |
