:00:00. > :00:00.Coming up next, we look at Mark Kermode's thumbs up or otherwise in

:00:00. > :00:17.The Film Review. Hello and welcome to

:00:18. > :00:19.our look ahead to what the papers With me are the journalist

:00:20. > :00:26.and political analyst Mina Al-Oraibi and Laura Hughes,

:00:27. > :00:29.political correspondent The Sunday Telegraph leads with

:00:30. > :00:36.Boris Johnson attacking what he call's David Cameron's Agents

:00:37. > :00:39.of Fear in the ongoing EU The Sunday Times has the same story

:00:40. > :00:45.plus a warning from the Justice Secretary, Michael Gove that

:00:46. > :00:49.the EU "fuels terror and Fascism". The Independent has an exclusive

:00:50. > :00:52.on what it says is a cover-up of the treatment

:00:53. > :00:56.of terror suspects in the UK. "NHS to harvest babies' organs" is

:00:57. > :01:01.the rather alarming headline The Sunday Express says Britannia

:01:02. > :01:07.will no longer rule the waves claiming the EU wants to

:01:08. > :01:24.take charge of the UK coastguard as No surprise as Europe once again is

:01:25. > :01:30.the dominant theme in the papers. This claim by Michael Gove as a

:01:31. > :01:35.campaigner for leaving the EU, that the EU fuels terror and fascism, is

:01:36. > :01:39.pretty striking. This is Michael Gove's first interview with the

:01:40. > :01:46.newspaper, as it announces that we should be voting to leave the EU. It

:01:47. > :01:52.says that on the one hand it is chilling terror because it is not

:01:53. > :01:58.allowing Britain to make decisions about how its spies can act, et

:01:59. > :02:01.cetera, particularly to do with the European Court of justice. He says

:02:02. > :02:05.we need to not be under its thumb any more. This comes at the same

:02:06. > :02:13.time as Boris Johnson is also speaking. He said, the power to take

:02:14. > :02:17.decisions about counter-terrorist surveillance is being taken away

:02:18. > :02:21.from the EU. In effect, the UK has kept quite a lot of its powers.

:02:22. > :02:27.Opting out of some of the policing roles. Yes. Some of those who have

:02:28. > :02:37.been detained on terrorist charges have used European courts to avoid

:02:38. > :02:42.being deported. We did have one famous case, where a man was able to

:02:43. > :02:47.delay being deported to the US. But there is no causality. Michael Gove

:02:48. > :02:53.is just saying that the far right is stronger across the continent than

:02:54. > :03:00.at any time since the 60s. That is true, and worrying, but it doesn't

:03:01. > :03:08.explain how it England leads the EU it will suddenly some house swing

:03:09. > :03:11.left. We had Liam Fox a couple of days ago saying that the EU hasn't

:03:12. > :03:19.done a particularly good job in stopping the spread of extremism,

:03:20. > :03:22.with people like Jean-Claude Juncker saying that it used to be the source

:03:23. > :03:29.of peace on the continent. But this is quite a challenge to the position

:03:30. > :03:32.of Theresa May, the Home Secretary. It is interesting as well in the

:03:33. > :03:37.context of this project fear. These characters have been accusing the

:03:38. > :03:42.government of scaring people, but so is this. This isn't just about

:03:43. > :03:47.sovereignty, this is now about security. You will be safer if we

:03:48. > :03:53.leave the EU. I would say this is also scaremongering, and Michael

:03:54. > :03:57.Gove has contradicted Theresa May and is undermining his own

:03:58. > :04:03.government. It raises an interesting question about what happens after

:04:04. > :04:11.the referendum. Effectively, suggesting that a document put out

:04:12. > :04:14.by the Home Office is a dodgy dossier, undermining those

:04:15. > :04:18.supporting stain. Now we have restaurants and effectively

:04:19. > :04:21.attacking David Cameron and people in Downing Street saying that they

:04:22. > :04:29.were somehow responsible for John Longworth being suspended because he

:04:30. > :04:34.had spoken out in favour of Brexit. I think there will be a reshuffle

:04:35. > :04:38.after the referendum, but I think Michael Gove is also looking at the

:04:39. > :04:45.possibility that Boris Johnson runs for the leadership, and he has put

:04:46. > :04:50.all his eggs in that basket now. You think he has transferred his loyalty

:04:51. > :04:53.from David Cameron, effectively? Yes. In this article says that Boris

:04:54. > :04:58.Johnson is going to war with David Cameron. Threatening people's

:04:59. > :05:02.safety, that is the number-1 responsibility of the government, so

:05:03. > :05:08.to say that what they want to do is undermining safety is crossing a

:05:09. > :05:12.line that is not often crossed. People who sit in David Cameron's

:05:13. > :05:16.cabinet next Theresa May and David Cameron... A legacy of bitterness

:05:17. > :05:21.out of this could be pretty powerful. Yes, are they putting

:05:22. > :05:28.their eggs in the basket is about future leadership. This is also the

:05:29. > :05:33.week that the dodgy dossier that Iain Duncan Smith said, and David

:05:34. > :05:39.Cameron making a speech at Chatham House earlier saying that all

:05:40. > :05:43.alternatives to the EU would be detrimental. It really has been

:05:44. > :05:47.realigning of the Conservative Party. I mentioned John Longworth,

:05:48. > :05:54.and that is on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph. Is this conspiracy

:05:55. > :06:03.theory or is there something in this? A suggestion that Downing

:06:04. > :06:31.Street might have led the chairman of the PCC to do this. -- BCC. David

:06:32. > :06:34.Davis is calling from a full statement about the comments made or

:06:35. > :06:39.the suspension. It will be interesting to see how they

:06:40. > :06:44.respond. Are you surprised? IM. The fact that he gave the statement that

:06:45. > :06:50.in thinking personally that it would be better for Britain to get out of

:06:51. > :06:56.the EU, there are no personal views when you are the head of the British

:06:57. > :07:05.Chamber of Commerce. It is said to be part of the conversation, how

:07:06. > :07:08.people will decide to vote, but there has not been a denial that

:07:09. > :07:13.conversations were had with Downing Street about this. Certain members

:07:14. > :07:16.of the board may have certain ties with Downing Street, so they may

:07:17. > :07:22.have had conversations. Whether that led directly to him being pushed

:07:23. > :07:28.out,... In the end, the official position was that they are neutral,

:07:29. > :07:39.and he has broken that. At their annual conference in front of all

:07:40. > :07:46.these people. A lot of people were dumbfounded and angry about this.

:07:47. > :07:49.This has slightly gone against what his own members actually. And

:07:50. > :07:55.because they were divided, that is one of the reasons... Lets stay with

:07:56. > :08:01.Europe, I feel we will be saying that a lot. That is not an

:08:02. > :08:06.indication about what you should do in July, just staying with the

:08:07. > :08:13.story. Scotland hasn't got a wave from the story! EU seeks control of

:08:14. > :08:18.our coasts. Yes, this is the Sunday express telling us why the EU can be

:08:19. > :08:22.very dangerous for Britain. It is not clear what the plans are, but

:08:23. > :08:26.the story says the EU has drawn up plans to seize control of the

:08:27. > :08:32.British coastguard service as it creates a Europewide border force.

:08:33. > :08:35.The article explains that this is part of trying to keep Europe safe,

:08:36. > :08:44.dealing with the migrant crisis and the issues of refugees and so forth.

:08:45. > :08:51.But the article does say that the government would not be involved in

:08:52. > :08:57.anything... This should not actually apply to you. Is this a draft, a

:08:58. > :09:06.white paper? That is not clear. What is clear is that the Immigration

:09:07. > :09:12.Minister has said that we will support the strengthening of the

:09:13. > :09:19.borders, but Britain is not part of the Schengen agreement, and we will

:09:20. > :09:25.not be part of this. So, we have Russian jets buzzing about in the

:09:26. > :09:33.skies of Britain, and this wonderful image of Britannia on the inside of

:09:34. > :09:41.the Express. Casually defending our borders. With a rather docile lion.

:09:42. > :09:48.Looking to Britannia to rise up and project our stores growed up protect

:09:49. > :09:53.our shores -- to rise up and protect our shores. This is a kind of

:09:54. > :10:00.headline that would make me buy a paper in the morning. This is a good

:10:01. > :10:03.grabbing headline. The story is basically that doctors will approach

:10:04. > :10:07.mothers who have been told that their babies will not be able to

:10:08. > :10:13.survive once they are born, and to encourage them to carry that child

:10:14. > :10:16.so that the organs can be donated when the child is born. It is

:10:17. > :10:22.highlighting a massive issue that we have in this country, our lack of

:10:23. > :10:25.organ donors. 7000 people think the year on this list, three people

:10:26. > :10:33.dying today because they can't get organs. It is described as

:10:34. > :10:36.ghoulish... It is a difficult ethical... It is. Can you imagine

:10:37. > :10:44.approaching a parent who has just had this news. It will be stillborn

:10:45. > :10:48.or if not it may be severely disabled and won't live long, and

:10:49. > :10:53.then saying, if you take it to full term at least the organs can be

:10:54. > :10:58.used. I would suggest that the NHS may go towards encouraging that. It

:10:59. > :11:04.is saying they will be given advice on going ahead, so ordinarily they

:11:05. > :11:07.may be advised to abort the baby, but they are saying to go ahead so

:11:08. > :11:12.we can use the organs. It is interesting, because they are saying

:11:13. > :11:17.it could be a situation where the baby was all but dead, but they

:11:18. > :11:22.could find a way to keep it alive in the mother's uterus, in order to use

:11:23. > :11:27.the organs. Having said that, they say the numbers are striking. So far

:11:28. > :11:33.only 11 babies under two months in the last two years have actually

:11:34. > :11:37.been used for organ transplants. It illustrates what we are saying about

:11:38. > :11:40.how striking this is that NHS blood and transplant has issued a

:11:41. > :11:43.statement in the last few minutes, and it says it wants to reassure the

:11:44. > :11:49.public we have no way of knowing about anybody who is pregnant with a

:11:50. > :12:01.baby who won't survive. The only way we would find out about that is if

:12:02. > :12:06.the parents approached us about wanting to donate. There is no way

:12:07. > :12:10.that any of us would approach parents encouraging them to carry a

:12:11. > :12:15.baby to full term purely to use the organs. Fellow Mac they have spoken

:12:16. > :12:18.to one transplant surgeon, who says that they are looking at rolling it

:12:19. > :12:23.out as a viable source. We are running out of time, but let me give

:12:24. > :12:32.the last word to the story on the front of the Sunday Times. This is

:12:33. > :12:38.the new guidance has been offered to schools. They are worried our young

:12:39. > :12:46.people are using too many exclamation marks. They spend a lot

:12:47. > :12:52.of time on Facebook, text in, so... They said they were worried that too

:12:53. > :12:55.many are using it in text messages and social media. What

:12:56. > :13:03.seven-year-old is sending text messages? There is an exclamation

:13:04. > :13:09.mark in your voice! Thank you both very much, it was a pleasure to have

:13:10. > :13:12.you with us. That is just about it, thank you for your company this

:13:13. > :13:14.evening. We will have more news at the top of the hour. Now, The Film

:13:15. > :13:16.Review.
