:00:14. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:16. > :00:20.With me are Simon Watkins, City Editor of the Mail on Sunday, and

:00:21. > :00:30.The Telegraph leads with potential new laws to tackle

:00:31. > :00:38.Their picture story is of the BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire, who's

:00:39. > :00:40.leaving Radio 5 Live along with fellow presenter Shelagh Fogarty.

:00:41. > :00:43.Both will be replaced by men, despite the Director General

:00:44. > :00:46.of the BBC saying he wanted more women on the air.

:00:47. > :00:50.The Metro also leads with the revenge porn story.

:00:51. > :00:51.That's alongside a celebratory picture

:00:52. > :00:56.of the unseeded Australian who beat Nadal at Wimbledon this evening.

:00:57. > :00:58.Nadal crashing out of Wimbledon is also the main

:00:59. > :01:03.Nadal is twinned with former champion Maria Sharapova,

:01:04. > :01:10.Their main story is a call from a leading doctor for a change

:01:11. > :01:15.in the law to help end the lives of terminally ill patients without

:01:16. > :01:19.are no risk to health " is the Express's headline on the

:01:20. > :01:23.cholesterol`lowering drug, that's according to health experts.

:01:24. > :01:26.The FT leads with what looks like good news,

:01:27. > :01:29.with sterling hitting a six`year high against the dollar ` although

:01:30. > :01:32.it could mean the Bank of England becoming the first major central

:01:33. > :01:51.Let us begin. We are going to begin with the Daily Telegraph.

:01:52. > :01:58.They have a piece about how there is a new law that could come in to

:01:59. > :02:03.tackle this idea of revenge pawn. I think it is another example of the

:02:04. > :02:09.law playing catch up with what is going on on the Internet. There are

:02:10. > :02:11.websites dedicated to revenge pornography. If you have an

:02:12. > :02:15.acrimonious break`up with your partner, you can post pictures of

:02:16. > :02:31.you in more happy days doing whatever. Images taken in happier

:02:32. > :02:36.times and then used as a weapon. It is surprisingly this does not

:02:37. > :02:43.already contravene some law. Obviously the feeling is the law is

:02:44. > :02:49.not being used, and maybe the solution is to pinpoint a specific

:02:50. > :02:53.offence. Have there been cases where they

:02:54. > :02:59.have been able to get a conviction? The piece is suggesting there has

:03:00. > :03:05.been a spate of suicides on the back of this. They mention a particular

:03:06. > :03:09.incident with a young woman in `` who was working in Abu Dhabi, and

:03:10. > :03:15.she feared her ex`boyfriend was going to post pornographic ``

:03:16. > :03:21.pornographic pictures. She feared for her safety and her job and she

:03:22. > :03:27.sadly took her own life. An extension of the bullying we have

:03:28. > :03:34.heard a lot about online. Yes, and as I say I think there have been

:03:35. > :03:37.efforts to prosecute over certain types of harassment, and stalking

:03:38. > :03:41.laws have been used in some cases, although obviously this particular

:03:42. > :03:47.offence, which for those who are victims is particularly upsetting,

:03:48. > :03:57.is not getting the attention it seems.

:03:58. > :04:07.The other story is about Isis, `` you can now save more. What have the

:04:08. > :04:17.banks done? The rates are not very good. The rates have been tripped ``

:04:18. > :04:22.trimmed back. We have historically low interest rates. And this to have

:04:23. > :04:31.come back even further. And that is the Budget.

:04:32. > :04:36.`` and that is after the Budget. But it always feels that you are given

:04:37. > :04:38.good news on the one hand and the banks always seem to find another

:04:39. > :04:44.way to clobber you behind the scenes.

:04:45. > :04:51.Have they given any possible reason? The bank stake in deposits

:04:52. > :05:04.to lend them out, and if they do not, `` if they do not want to lend

:05:05. > :05:08.out, they do not need deposits in. There is a bigger economic picture.

:05:09. > :05:13.One of the reasons interest rates are at a historic low, one of the

:05:14. > :05:17.reasons low interest rates work to stimulate the economy is that it

:05:18. > :05:23.encourages people to spend rather than to save. So in some ways it is

:05:24. > :05:27.part of the solution to our current economic situation. We have had low

:05:28. > :05:34.interest rates encouraging people to spend... If you do not want to

:05:35. > :05:41.spend, that is unfortunate. We think on the one hand we can put more

:05:42. > :05:45.money in, tax`free saving, so we put money aside to do that, then we

:05:46. > :05:52.realise we are no better off. And lots of people who have retired,

:05:53. > :06:00.their income is the interest on their savings.

:06:01. > :06:05.We can take a look at the Guardian. The picture of the shot at Wimbledon

:06:06. > :06:11.today. But let us that about the main story, top doctors `` top

:06:12. > :06:21.Doctor's assisted `` assisted dying coal. He is making a lot of points.

:06:22. > :06:24.He is saying doctors should be able to help terminally ill patients to

:06:25. > :06:30.take their own life. Last week we heard in the Supreme Court that the

:06:31. > :06:37.bid to have the ban on assisted dying was not upheld, so he put the

:06:38. > :06:41.issue back on the agenda. It is very emotive, and I think unless this is

:06:42. > :06:45.something that personally affects you, you do not really know what it

:06:46. > :06:56.is like. It is a hard thing to judge. If it is brought in there are

:06:57. > :07:03.fears that the law might be abused, to get people's savings or cash in

:07:04. > :07:08.on life insurance. But when you are personally affected by this you see

:07:09. > :07:14.a different side. But it is a very hard thing to roll on. The thing

:07:15. > :07:19.some people find hard is that you give prior approval to somebody to

:07:20. > :07:23.help somebody die effectively. Plenty of people can accept that

:07:24. > :07:30.there are circumstances in which that is the morally compassionate

:07:31. > :07:35.thing to do. Legally sanctioning it in advance is a line I think some

:07:36. > :07:39.people will find hard to deal with. This is an issue that is good to be

:07:40. > :07:43.debated in the House of Lords next month.

:07:44. > :07:47.Talking about compassion, he is talking about the need for the

:07:48. > :07:52.equivalent of midwives to sort of nice people through their final

:07:53. > :07:57.days. When you put it like that, these will be specific people who

:07:58. > :08:04.will help people with palliative care and be given that legal...

:08:05. > :08:10.The manner of death, which we all have to face at some point, I think

:08:11. > :08:15.we do not handle it very well as a society. We do not have mechanisms.

:08:16. > :08:19.The medical profession are there to keep people alive rather than help

:08:20. > :08:22.it would die, and I think it is something that perhaps

:08:23. > :08:28.understandably not a lot of thought has gone into it.

:08:29. > :08:36.There are other points, he is talking about a four`day working

:08:37. > :08:44.week. Excellent idea! What the is also the serious issue of mental

:08:45. > :08:50.health. `` but there is. These are things we do not pay enough

:08:51. > :08:56.attention to. I think he is spot on on that one.

:08:57. > :09:04.The other top story is quite interesting, they have got access to

:09:05. > :09:14.the Tory party guest list at their main fundraising event of the year.

:09:15. > :09:20.Only a year late but nonetheless! What do we learn from who was there

:09:21. > :09:26.last year? These tables for the privilege of sitting next to David

:09:27. > :09:38.Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, it was ?12,000 to sort of

:09:39. > :09:45.Rob shoulders. `` Rob. The suggestion is that it was sort of

:09:46. > :09:50.clouded in secrecy, they are quite reluctant to release the names of

:09:51. > :09:57.these guests, and I think it just has generalists asking more

:09:58. > :10:00.questions. `` journalists. Underlying this is the whole

:10:01. > :10:04.question of political funding and how it comes forward. Both Labour

:10:05. > :10:10.and the Tories frequently get into trouble as to where the funding

:10:11. > :10:15.comes from, whether it is big business, billionaires, unions. On

:10:16. > :10:18.the other hand the other option of taxpayer funding of political

:10:19. > :10:23.parties is probably equally unpalatable.

:10:24. > :10:27.Difficult to see how much they make from these types of events, although

:10:28. > :10:37.I think it does say that they took ?1.1 million in the week following

:10:38. > :10:40.that particular event. There will be a lot of entertaining tomorrow

:10:41. > :10:44.evening, where ever it is this year. `` wherever.

:10:45. > :10:52.The Financial Times, this sounds like good news. It is not that

:10:53. > :10:58.straightforward. The strong pound is good if we are going on holiday. The

:10:59. > :11:03.serious risk is that a strong pound makes exports in this country will

:11:04. > :11:07.`` more expensive overseas, makes it harder for British manufacturers to

:11:08. > :11:10.export their goods abroad, and getting growth and exports up is a

:11:11. > :11:20.critical part of the next phase of the economic recovery. So a strong

:11:21. > :11:30.pound is not... Unless you're going on holiday.

:11:31. > :11:33.Let us top about our final story. What happened at Wimbledon today?

:11:34. > :11:40.Lots of people have been watching that. And deep shock.

:11:41. > :11:45.What is going on? Serena Williams is out, Maria Sharapova, now today, one

:11:46. > :11:56.of the favourites, Rafa Nadal was beaten by this completely unknown

:11:57. > :12:01.19`year`old Australian unseeded guy. This is the beauty of Wimbledon, as

:12:02. > :12:05.much as we have our favourites and we want them to do well, Wimbledon

:12:06. > :12:09.is about moments like this where people come from nowhere and explode

:12:10. > :12:20.onto the scene. Andy Murray has hailed him as a future date of the

:12:21. > :12:26.sport. `` great. It is what Wimbledon's all about. If the

:12:27. > :12:30.seeding was actually the order in which the tournament ended, it would

:12:31. > :12:34.be terribly dull. The whole point is that seeding gets mixed up.

:12:35. > :12:41.Who do you reckon Tom then? Murray is still in there. I think there is

:12:42. > :12:47.a quote from him in one of the papers about this amazing young

:12:48. > :12:50.Australian saying, he is a future champion but presumably Andy Murray

:12:51. > :12:56.is hoping not this year. More from you a little later.

:12:57. > :12:57.That is it for us from the moment `` from us for the moment. Sport coming

:12:58. > :13:20.up. It's been a day of upsets

:13:21. > :13:25.at Wimbledon. Nadal follows Sharapova out

:13:26. > :13:28.at the forth round stage.
