Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:14.:00:15.

With me are Simon Watkins, City Editor of the Mail on Sunday, and

:00:16.:00:20.

The Telegraph leads with potential new laws to tackle

:00:21.:00:30.

Their picture story is of the BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire, who's

:00:31.:00:38.

leaving Radio 5 Live along with fellow presenter Shelagh Fogarty.

:00:39.:00:40.

Both will be replaced by men, despite the Director General

:00:41.:00:43.

of the BBC saying he wanted more women on the air.

:00:44.:00:46.

The Metro also leads with the revenge porn story.

:00:47.:00:50.

That's alongside a celebratory picture

:00:51.:00:51.

of the unseeded Australian who beat Nadal at Wimbledon this evening.

:00:52.:00:56.

Nadal crashing out of Wimbledon is also the main

:00:57.:00:58.

Nadal is twinned with former champion Maria Sharapova,

:00:59.:01:03.

Their main story is a call from a leading doctor for a change

:01:04.:01:10.

in the law to help end the lives of terminally ill patients without

:01:11.:01:15.

are no risk to health " is the Express's headline on the

:01:16.:01:19.

cholesterol`lowering drug, that's according to health experts.

:01:20.:01:23.

The FT leads with what looks like good news,

:01:24.:01:26.

with sterling hitting a six`year high against the dollar ` although

:01:27.:01:29.

it could mean the Bank of England becoming the first major central

:01:30.:01:32.

Let us begin. We are going to begin with the Daily Telegraph.

:01:33.:01:51.

They have a piece about how there is a new law that could come in to

:01:52.:01:58.

tackle this idea of revenge pawn. I think it is another example of the

:01:59.:02:03.

law playing catch up with what is going on on the Internet. There are

:02:04.:02:09.

websites dedicated to revenge pornography. If you have an

:02:10.:02:11.

acrimonious break`up with your partner, you can post pictures of

:02:12.:02:15.

you in more happy days doing whatever. Images taken in happier

:02:16.:02:31.

times and then used as a weapon. It is surprisingly this does not

:02:32.:02:36.

already contravene some law. Obviously the feeling is the law is

:02:37.:02:43.

not being used, and maybe the solution is to pinpoint a specific

:02:44.:02:49.

offence. Have there been cases where they

:02:50.:02:53.

have been able to get a conviction? The piece is suggesting there has

:02:54.:02:59.

been a spate of suicides on the back of this. They mention a particular

:03:00.:03:05.

incident with a young woman in `` who was working in Abu Dhabi, and

:03:06.:03:09.

she feared her ex`boyfriend was going to post pornographic ``

:03:10.:03:15.

pornographic pictures. She feared for her safety and her job and she

:03:16.:03:21.

sadly took her own life. An extension of the bullying we have

:03:22.:03:27.

heard a lot about online. Yes, and as I say I think there have been

:03:28.:03:34.

efforts to prosecute over certain types of harassment, and stalking

:03:35.:03:37.

laws have been used in some cases, although obviously this particular

:03:38.:03:41.

offence, which for those who are victims is particularly upsetting,

:03:42.:03:47.

is not getting the attention it seems.

:03:48.:03:57.

The other story is about Isis, `` you can now save more. What have the

:03:58.:04:07.

banks done? The rates are not very good. The rates have been tripped ``

:04:08.:04:17.

trimmed back. We have historically low interest rates. And this to have

:04:18.:04:22.

come back even further. And that is the Budget.

:04:23.:04:31.

`` and that is after the Budget. But it always feels that you are given

:04:32.:04:36.

good news on the one hand and the banks always seem to find another

:04:37.:04:38.

way to clobber you behind the scenes.

:04:39.:04:44.

Have they given any possible reason? The bank stake in deposits

:04:45.:04:51.

to lend them out, and if they do not, `` if they do not want to lend

:04:52.:05:04.

out, they do not need deposits in. There is a bigger economic picture.

:05:05.:05:08.

One of the reasons interest rates are at a historic low, one of the

:05:09.:05:13.

reasons low interest rates work to stimulate the economy is that it

:05:14.:05:17.

encourages people to spend rather than to save. So in some ways it is

:05:18.:05:23.

part of the solution to our current economic situation. We have had low

:05:24.:05:27.

interest rates encouraging people to spend... If you do not want to

:05:28.:05:34.

spend, that is unfortunate. We think on the one hand we can put more

:05:35.:05:41.

money in, tax`free saving, so we put money aside to do that, then we

:05:42.:05:45.

realise we are no better off. And lots of people who have retired,

:05:46.:05:52.

their income is the interest on their savings.

:05:53.:06:00.

We can take a look at the Guardian. The picture of the shot at Wimbledon

:06:01.:06:05.

today. But let us that about the main story, top doctors `` top

:06:06.:06:11.

Doctor's assisted `` assisted dying coal. He is making a lot of points.

:06:12.:06:21.

He is saying doctors should be able to help terminally ill patients to

:06:22.:06:24.

take their own life. Last week we heard in the Supreme Court that the

:06:25.:06:30.

bid to have the ban on assisted dying was not upheld, so he put the

:06:31.:06:37.

issue back on the agenda. It is very emotive, and I think unless this is

:06:38.:06:41.

something that personally affects you, you do not really know what it

:06:42.:06:45.

is like. It is a hard thing to judge. If it is brought in there are

:06:46.:06:56.

fears that the law might be abused, to get people's savings or cash in

:06:57.:07:03.

on life insurance. But when you are personally affected by this you see

:07:04.:07:08.

a different side. But it is a very hard thing to roll on. The thing

:07:09.:07:14.

some people find hard is that you give prior approval to somebody to

:07:15.:07:19.

help somebody die effectively. Plenty of people can accept that

:07:20.:07:23.

there are circumstances in which that is the morally compassionate

:07:24.:07:30.

thing to do. Legally sanctioning it in advance is a line I think some

:07:31.:07:35.

people will find hard to deal with. This is an issue that is good to be

:07:36.:07:39.

debated in the House of Lords next month.

:07:40.:07:43.

Talking about compassion, he is talking about the need for the

:07:44.:07:47.

equivalent of midwives to sort of nice people through their final

:07:48.:07:52.

days. When you put it like that, these will be specific people who

:07:53.:07:57.

will help people with palliative care and be given that legal...

:07:58.:08:04.

The manner of death, which we all have to face at some point, I think

:08:05.:08:10.

we do not handle it very well as a society. We do not have mechanisms.

:08:11.:08:15.

The medical profession are there to keep people alive rather than help

:08:16.:08:19.

it would die, and I think it is something that perhaps

:08:20.:08:22.

understandably not a lot of thought has gone into it.

:08:23.:08:28.

There are other points, he is talking about a four`day working

:08:29.:08:36.

week. Excellent idea! What the is also the serious issue of mental

:08:37.:08:44.

health. `` but there is. These are things we do not pay enough

:08:45.:08:50.

attention to. I think he is spot on on that one.

:08:51.:08:56.

The other top story is quite interesting, they have got access to

:08:57.:09:04.

the Tory party guest list at their main fundraising event of the year.

:09:05.:09:14.

Only a year late but nonetheless! What do we learn from who was there

:09:15.:09:20.

last year? These tables for the privilege of sitting next to David

:09:21.:09:26.

Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, it was ?12,000 to sort of

:09:27.:09:38.

Rob shoulders. `` Rob. The suggestion is that it was sort of

:09:39.:09:45.

clouded in secrecy, they are quite reluctant to release the names of

:09:46.:09:50.

these guests, and I think it just has generalists asking more

:09:51.:09:57.

questions. `` journalists. Underlying this is the whole

:09:58.:10:00.

question of political funding and how it comes forward. Both Labour

:10:01.:10:04.

and the Tories frequently get into trouble as to where the funding

:10:05.:10:10.

comes from, whether it is big business, billionaires, unions. On

:10:11.:10:15.

the other hand the other option of taxpayer funding of political

:10:16.:10:18.

parties is probably equally unpalatable.

:10:19.:10:23.

Difficult to see how much they make from these types of events, although

:10:24.:10:27.

I think it does say that they took ?1.1 million in the week following

:10:28.:10:37.

that particular event. There will be a lot of entertaining tomorrow

:10:38.:10:40.

evening, where ever it is this year. `` wherever.

:10:41.:10:44.

The Financial Times, this sounds like good news. It is not that

:10:45.:10:52.

straightforward. The strong pound is good if we are going on holiday. The

:10:53.:10:58.

serious risk is that a strong pound makes exports in this country will

:10:59.:11:03.

`` more expensive overseas, makes it harder for British manufacturers to

:11:04.:11:07.

export their goods abroad, and getting growth and exports up is a

:11:08.:11:10.

critical part of the next phase of the economic recovery. So a strong

:11:11.:11:20.

pound is not... Unless you're going on holiday.

:11:21.:11:30.

Let us top about our final story. What happened at Wimbledon today?

:11:31.:11:33.

Lots of people have been watching that. And deep shock.

:11:34.:11:40.

What is going on? Serena Williams is out, Maria Sharapova, now today, one

:11:41.:11:45.

of the favourites, Rafa Nadal was beaten by this completely unknown

:11:46.:11:56.

19`year`old Australian unseeded guy. This is the beauty of Wimbledon, as

:11:57.:12:01.

much as we have our favourites and we want them to do well, Wimbledon

:12:02.:12:05.

is about moments like this where people come from nowhere and explode

:12:06.:12:09.

onto the scene. Andy Murray has hailed him as a future date of the

:12:10.:12:20.

sport. `` great. It is what Wimbledon's all about. If the

:12:21.:12:26.

seeding was actually the order in which the tournament ended, it would

:12:27.:12:30.

be terribly dull. The whole point is that seeding gets mixed up.

:12:31.:12:34.

Who do you reckon Tom then? Murray is still in there. I think there is

:12:35.:12:41.

a quote from him in one of the papers about this amazing young

:12:42.:12:47.

Australian saying, he is a future champion but presumably Andy Murray

:12:48.:12:50.

is hoping not this year. More from you a little later.

:12:51.:12:56.

That is it for us from the moment `` from us for the moment. Sport coming

:12:57.:12:57.

up. It's been a day of upsets

:12:58.:13:20.

at Wimbledon. Nadal follows Sharapova out

:13:21.:13:25.

at the forth round stage.

:13:26.:13:28.
