Hello and welcome to our Sunday morning edition of The Papers.

With me are the economist Bronwyn Curtis and writer

Many papers lead with the downing of the Russian plane

The Daily Star Sunday says spy chiefs here suspect British Jihadis

The Sunday Express goes with the same angle, saying that

extremists with British accents were overheard celebrating the deaths

Aviation experts in the Observer say it will force a fundamental

The story also makes the front page of the Sunday

Telegraph, but its lead is a plan by the EU to pay African countries

The Mail on Sunday claims that James Hewitt, Princess Diana's

former lover, has offered some of her private letters for sale.

And finally, the Sunday Times reports how some

high profile footballers face losing millions of pounds after allegedly

You can the front page of the Observer calls for a new Iraq of

airport security after the latest terror.

The focus is on baggage handlers. That is not a surprise, is it? No,

but actually one of the things, when I think about security, every time I

go through an airport I go off because I have got a metal hip. When

I don't go off I start to worry. That is where I stand. I have taken

quite a lot of interest in this, and I wonder, couldn't they take the

human element out of it a bit more? Couldn't we not have to have baggage

handlers, and it could all be done electronically? I'm sure that is not

possible, but one of the things I noted here, apart from different

baggage handlers and screening, the security needs to be more

unpredictable and thorough, but I wasn't sure how you would do that.

More unpredictable, yes. When I was a student I used to load baggage on

aeroplanes at Belfast Airport and one of the things you had to do was

lie in the bags up and everybody would say that is my bag, and it did

not go on the plane unless they did. It was primitive, but you could see

people picking up their own back. You can't do that now. No, and one

of the problems is it is a week on since this terrible event, and all

of the papers had a go at it it in some way or another, but the

Observer is essentially saying the focus is on the baggage handlers,

rather than it is going through what looks like rather slack security.

But we don't really know. The speculation is saying security

should be tightening up, and the Observer is saying the investigation

is focusing on the baggage handlers, but the real answer is we don't know

how this suspected bomb got onto the plane as yet. One paper says jet

bombers spoke with dish accents -- British accents. That would be

shocking, but not entirely surprising, given what we know about

the ability of some of these organisations. That is true, and

speaking of these dish accents, it says they picked up this chatter

after the event, but what the paper is not saying is that they were

overhearing the people behind the bombing itself. It is saying that it

would not be a great surprise to us to know that certain sectors in the

Middle East would be happy about it, and some of those could well have

been British, but it does not necessarily get us closer to who was

behind the bombing. Some see this as a double or triple hit because they

don't like the Egyptian government, they don't like the Russians either,

and in general they don't like foreigners coming into the middle

east. That's right. There is a lot of speculation. Because the story is

quite old, it is a very sophisticated, Kathleen planned

operation. We don't really know that because if the CCTV is not working,

baggage handlers could come in and out, it maybe they had a chance to

do it. There are expert smugglers around, and so on, so there is a

huge amount of speculation, but we still don't know. That was the

Independent story. It was 50-50 that no one was watching CCTV. There have

been reports of huge lapses of security that could have let in the

bomb. There are a raft of questions here, how did they get the bomb in,

and how was it detonated? Was it done by a timer, or I ate Asher

device, so when it went to a certain height the bomb went off, which is a

possibility. Yes, and there is a fear that some of these devices

don't contain any metal, and that is a big problem because it could be

the sort of device that does not show up on normal detection

techniques. The Independent on Sunday is talking about the CCTV

station being routinely abandoned at this airport, and if that is true it

is very worrying, but it is more speculation about what is going on

out there. Also, focusing on the plight of these people who are still

stranded out there, terrorist may have to wait up to ten days to

leave. Yes, -- tourists. There must be a reason why it is taking so long

to get them home that we don't know about. The planes are there, waiting

to come back. If they are doing it so carefully, they must be still

worried about the situation. I wonder if either of you think this

plays into the current political debate about the so-called snooper's

Charter. Because if this originally came from GCHQ, about what we know

what went on, in the views of some people, I spoke to some outcome

Rifkind the other day, some people say that shows just how important

GCHQ is to our security. Yes, and it is fortuitous for Theresa May with

her timing, in the way that these events that this out, but we don't

know the extent of the chatter they are hearing. It seems that it may be

leading them to believe they know who is behind the attack, but I'm

not sure we are any closer to reaching those who are behind this

attack. Moving on to some different stories now. The Sunday Telegraph,

there will be all sorts of stuff about our negotiations about the EU.

The secret EU deal for migrants. What they are saying is that the EU

is planning to pay African countries to take back asylum seekers.

Interesting, isn't it? Clearly, the number of people coming is just

overwhelming. We all know that, and they have put aside 1.3 billion

euros and they are going to pay these countries to take back people,

but also open up to some people like students and doctors are more

qualified people, giving them visas to come into the EU and perhaps

stay. So, visas to start with, but the character that they might stay.

Will this work? That is a very good question. Certainly, the countries

will take the money, but will they actually get those people to come

back and stay? That is a 2 point problem. That's right. Will they

come back and stay, but also they have got to agree to go in the first

place. I can't see many people who have come on horrendous journeys to

get to the Northern Europe, voluntarily getting on a plane back

to Africa. The Telegraph is saying it has seen leaked documents of this

plan. I don't think anybody is going to fall for an idea that Northern

Europe gets to keep the best people in terms of doctors and scientists,

and handbag people who could be criminals or potential terrorists.

-- hand back. Across Europe and in Britain, there seems to be an

outsourcing of our problems. Let's get universities to check on

students to make sure they have visas, get landlords to check who

they are renting it to, and now the EU is then let's get African

countries to take these people back, or give Turkey money to keep Syrian

refugees there. The question is, is it going to work? Nobody knows.

Fundamentally, you need to resolve the conflicts in these areas which

means people are leaving. Until you do that, people want to come to

Northern Europe. One of the most interesting stories of the day is

lower down on the Telegraph's front page. For a healthy fry up, consider

Lars not vegetable oil. This goes against everything we have been told

for the last 40 years, doesn't it? This is a really interesting story.

I have been frying in coconut oil for some time, that are supposed to

be one of the best, but this thing about natural is that, these

processed unsaturated fats really don't work, but the other point is

that they have high levels of things that can cause cancer or dementia

but still the advice from the NHS, and Public Health England, is to use

those bad fats, rather than what we now know, or think we know about the

good fats. Yes, so not sunflower oil but butter. But has made a big

comeback. With all the focus on sugar, butter and lard. He would

have thought it? Absolutely, different scientists, different

view. A scientist at Oxford is saying that the trouble with this

sunflower oil and corn oil is that they are contributing to a drop in

vital omega three fatty acids in people's brains. I suppose the

general thing is that if you really want to be healthy is have some

fruit for breakfast, not a fry up. I don't know how coconut oil tastes,

but butter just tastes better. I could never eat margarine, I can't

stand the taste of it. I have always used butter and it does taste a lot

better when you are using these things. It now gives us all the tick

in the box to say good, we are going to use this because it tastes

better. I heard you are supposed to put a bit of butter outside and a

bit of margarine outside and leave it for a view ours, and all the

flies will land on the butter because they won't eat margarine. It

is a good experiment to do! Now, Royal story, Major Hewitt

selling Diana's letters. I should point out that he did not go ahead

with selling the letters. He was approached by an LA -based dealer

who specialised in Diana memorabilia. They are talking about

some letters from a very early stage in their relationship. He was caught

at looking at selling them, but did not go ahead with it. It sounds like

the Mail on Sunday have tracked him down to a two-bedroom flat where he

lives with his mother outside Exeter, said he is having a problem

and does have letters which he once boasted he could get millions for,

so it might not be the end of the story just yet. I don't see anyone

will be terribly sympathetic with him. No, and apparently the agent of

them to William and Harry through their solicitors, and they said go

away. I think most people think this is really old. He has got about 60

letters altogether, I am told. But nobody is interested, nobody wanted

to buy them. One minute left, the back page of the Mail on Sunday has

got Stoke one, Chelsea zero. Jose Mourinho really in trouble, isn't

he? I think so, that is one of the biggest stories today. That defeat

yesterday, there is lots of speculation on social media, it is a

huge problem for him. Chelsea have never done so badly. It is one of

the big sports stories of the weekend. The big question is, are

you prepared to give the manager a chance. Alex Ferguson went through

quite a bad period before he became one of the greatest managers in

history. Is clearly hugely talented. Yes, he has got the persona that he

is invincible. But I think it is more that they start to believe, I

always think people who are famous start to believe their own

publicity. I am brilliant, I am the only manager who can do it. This

story we have heard about the doctor, you clearly fell out with

him. Dick time. Dash-macro big time. She had to go. It has gone badly

since then. Yes, don't take on the women, that is all I can say. Rate

advice. Thanks to my guests Bronwyn Curtis

and Vincent Moss. Just a reminder we take a look

at tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10:30 and 11:30 here
