:00:16. > :00:19.to what the the papers will be With me are Tony Grew,

:00:20. > :00:21.the political reporter The Entertainment Editor

:00:29. > :00:30.Palace's disquiet after the Queen was accused of favouring

:00:31. > :00:35.Britain leaving the EU. The row between the Sun

:00:36. > :00:37.newspaper and the Palace It says the Justice Secretary

:00:38. > :00:43.Michael Gove is implicated Sir George Martin and Sir Paul

:00:44. > :00:48.McCartney are pictured in the Guardian following

:00:49. > :00:50.the producer's death Its main story is the defeat

:00:51. > :00:54.of the government's plan to relax The Independent also carries

:00:55. > :00:57.tributes to the so-called 'fifth He's described by Sir Paul

:00:58. > :01:02.as "the most generous, intelligent and musical

:01:03. > :01:04.person" he'd ever known. The 'i' says the number of people

:01:05. > :01:07.employed in the UK on zero hour contracts has increased

:01:08. > :01:09.and accuses bosses of The FT carries a warning

:01:10. > :01:17.from senior bankers in Europe about the dangers of

:01:18. > :01:20.negative interest rates. The paper says a further cut

:01:21. > :01:23.in rates is widely expected. And the jail terms given to five

:01:24. > :01:26.members of the gang behind the Hatton Garden diamond heist

:01:27. > :01:28.feature in the Metro. The sentences of up to seven years

:01:29. > :01:43.are described as 'soft'. We start with the Daily Telegraph,

:01:44. > :01:48.goat faces Queen Brexit questions, following the sun's front page

:01:49. > :01:52.yesterday. A private dinner back in 2011, where apparently the Queen is

:01:53. > :01:56.supposed to have shown her colours as a Eurosceptic. This has been a

:01:57. > :01:59.developing story through the day, we have had the unusual step of the

:02:00. > :02:04.palace complaining to the press standards watchdog about yesterday's

:02:05. > :02:07.story. Journalists being journalists pretty quickly can work up from

:02:08. > :02:11.official documents he was at the meeting with the Privy Council, who

:02:12. > :02:14.was at the lunch immediately afterwards and he might have leaked

:02:15. > :02:17.it. Nick Clegg was there and went out and said he didn't know anything

:02:18. > :02:21.about it, so by process of elimination it seems to be that the

:02:22. > :02:25.Daily Telegraph is pointing the finger at Justice Secretary, Michael

:02:26. > :02:28.Gove, who is a close friend of the Prime Minister and surprise many

:02:29. > :02:32.people by saying that he was going to vote for Brexit to the UK to

:02:33. > :02:36.leave the European Union, and now appears to be in a little bit of hot

:02:37. > :02:39.water. It is interesting how closely written the Daily Telegraph's story

:02:40. > :02:44.is. It says the Justice Secretary refused to deny that he was the

:02:45. > :02:48.source. Has to go's spokesman said we don't comment on private

:02:49. > :02:51.conversations with the Queen and sources close to the Justice

:02:52. > :02:55.Secretary, I assume that it in himself, said he has no idea where

:02:56. > :02:59.the source of the leak came from. There have been calls for the

:03:00. > :03:03.cabinet secretary to investigate this, because if the Queen can't

:03:04. > :03:06.trust her ministers not to go out and blood things she has said in

:03:07. > :03:11.private, it is pretty bad for the way in which the government works.

:03:12. > :03:15.Caroline, The Sun because it is now being referred to the press

:03:16. > :03:18.watchdog, its defence is that this is a credible source, we won't

:03:19. > :03:21.reveal it, but it is a credible source and the story has a certain

:03:22. > :03:26.veracity to it. The problem is linking and a bad back in 2011, for

:03:27. > :03:32.there was any talk of a referendum with a referendum five years later,

:03:33. > :03:37.six years later? Yes, five years between a conversation over a quiet

:03:38. > :03:40.lunch table and now all of the headlines and the balance... The

:03:41. > :03:44.Queen is emphatically neutral all the time, I have never heard her

:03:45. > :03:48.views about anything, and as we know, David Cameron, when he even

:03:49. > :03:50.hinted that he had heard after the Scottish referendum, that was

:03:51. > :03:54.slapped down and he had to backtrack. This is pretty

:03:55. > :03:58.unprecedented, as far as I can remember and it doesn't look good

:03:59. > :04:02.for Michael Gove, particularly after those images of him having that

:04:03. > :04:06.late-night assignation with Boris Johnson, the night before Boris came

:04:07. > :04:09.out. It is starting to add up to a bit of a cloak and dagger 's game

:04:10. > :04:15.which is not quite the dignity they would wish to discuss this kind of

:04:16. > :04:17.debate. To be breaking the confidence of Her Majesty The Queen

:04:18. > :04:21.is something that is just not done and could cause whoever did it, and

:04:22. > :04:26.the suggestion is that it is Mr Gove, though he has so far not

:04:27. > :04:34.suggesting that he did it, it could cause big problems. The Hatton

:04:35. > :04:39.Garden gang escaped with soft sentences? They are not actually

:04:40. > :04:47.that soft because all of these gentlemen have served a certain

:04:48. > :04:55.amount of time while they were waiting to be sentenced. People will

:04:56. > :04:58.look at this and think perhaps these chaps have enjoyed a certain

:04:59. > :05:02.glorification of their particular sting because of their ages? I feel

:05:03. > :05:08.like there is a certain sort of... They hatch the whole thing in a pub

:05:09. > :05:15.in North London. One of them arrived on a bus. A three-day extravaganza,

:05:16. > :05:19.the thing did not go through the wall so somebody had to go through

:05:20. > :05:25.machine Mart in Twickenham, other shops are available, and stock up on

:05:26. > :05:28.supplies. It reeks of classic French connection, Italian job caper. There

:05:29. > :05:33.is probably people might wonder if the judge, even besides inside, he

:05:34. > :05:38.has said this thing stands alone, I doubt he has been perhaps caught out

:05:39. > :05:41.by the glamour of it all the sentiment, but I am glad they are

:05:42. > :05:47.not serving 30 years, I can't tell you why, I know they have done

:05:48. > :05:50.wrong. There are some who would argue, particularly those who lost a

:05:51. > :05:58.lot of cash in this, that this was not a victimless crime and the

:05:59. > :06:01.sentences are soft, and at some point there will be a hearing next

:06:02. > :06:05.year I think where they will have to point out where the rest of the loot

:06:06. > :06:09.is stashed, and if they don't do that, then they could be a change in

:06:10. > :06:15.sentences. There is something strange in our culture that seemed

:06:16. > :06:18.to sentimentalise what are crimes. People like the craze. French

:06:19. > :06:27.Connexion, sounds more like an Ealing comedy. There was something I

:06:28. > :06:30.find slightly troubling about that. We were saying this earlier, no

:06:31. > :06:33.doubt someone is writing a screenplay about this, you could not

:06:34. > :06:38.make up some of the detail about this.

:06:39. > :06:45.These people are criminals. There are victims here, people have had

:06:46. > :06:51.items stolen that have not been returned. Very rich people. Very

:06:52. > :06:56.rich people. That is right then. Let's not get into that, they broke

:06:57. > :07:00.the law, they are going to jail. Would it be a comedy or a

:07:01. > :07:05.tragicomedy, the film? The comedy aspect is they end up getting

:07:06. > :07:12.caught. It is not that they escaped with all the loot, they will end up

:07:13. > :07:15.in the 60s and 70s serving time. Some may even end up dying in jail,

:07:16. > :07:21.you never know. We interviewed a chap called Noel Razor Smith, in

:07:22. > :07:24.relation to all this, talking about career criminals, and why they have

:07:25. > :07:36.to do just one more heist. There you go. Independent now, tributes all

:07:37. > :07:40.over the papers to frankly a genius, Sir George Martin. Absolutely, I was

:07:41. > :07:44.talking to Tony earlier about this, the fact you have somebody so

:07:45. > :07:47.successful. Normally in the music injury you have had to burn if you

:07:48. > :07:51.edges along the way to get to that status inevitably because it is such

:07:52. > :07:55.a competitive field, but George Martin seems to have emerged through

:07:56. > :07:59.seven decades of absolutely tireless music devotion, and worked with so

:08:00. > :08:08.many artists. As we saw from the tributes today, nobody had a bad

:08:09. > :08:12.word to say about him. Sir Paul McCartney talking about not just the

:08:13. > :08:15.craft but the person as well. George Martin was responsible for bringing

:08:16. > :08:19.those for mop tops into the studio and turning them from a people

:08:20. > :08:23.pleasing quartet into something so unique and extraordinary to define

:08:24. > :08:27.the sound of the 20th century. Paul McCartney said today if anybody can

:08:28. > :08:32.deserve to be called the fifth Beatle it is George Martin. You

:08:33. > :08:35.listen to some of the work he did with the Beatles, tracks from the

:08:36. > :08:41.White album, Sergeant Peppers and that kind of stuff, it sounds so

:08:42. > :08:46.fresh and interesting. 30, 40 years on somehow, he gave that music a

:08:47. > :08:52.veneer, a sheen, that meant it is going to last. It has had a huge

:08:53. > :08:55.influence, now Caroline has to have other things I was going to say,

:08:56. > :08:59.because I was going to make the point that actually what is

:09:00. > :09:05.fascinating is that the Beatles were just a pop band, a boy band, and he

:09:06. > :09:09.went on that journey with them through that fast exponent Asian

:09:10. > :09:13.with music, sound and lyrics, and he was there. As he grew, the band grew

:09:14. > :09:17.and he was part of it. The fifth Beatle as they say. He had a

:09:18. > :09:22.classical training, so it as each one of theirs and imagination

:09:23. > :09:25.expanded, Paul McCartney songwriting developing, John Lennon getting more

:09:26. > :09:29.and more experiment, then you had George Harrison coming in with these

:09:30. > :09:34.Eastern traditional sounds, and each time George Martin could match those

:09:35. > :09:37.sound for sound. I remember in an interview John Lennon said I

:09:38. > :09:45.basically told him I just wanted a sort of orange sound, and somehow he

:09:46. > :09:49.created it. He found orange. Interesting story for the

:09:50. > :09:53.government, Tony, he lost this vote on Sunday trading, a vote they

:09:54. > :09:57.didn't necessarily have to lose? I was in the press gallery for most of

:09:58. > :10:03.the day, it has been a long day. Sorry, mate! Glad to be here talking

:10:04. > :10:09.about the Beatles and what orange sounds like, a welcome diversion!

:10:10. > :10:18.But seriously it is almost inconceivable what a self-inflicted

:10:19. > :10:25.wound fizzes. Local council will decide what is best for them. There

:10:26. > :10:33.is a big group of Tory MPs, some of them Christians, motivated by faith,

:10:34. > :10:36.who opposed this. The government have had an opportunity to say we

:10:37. > :10:39.don't need to do this now, there is opposition to it, we will pull back

:10:40. > :10:41.from its so there was confusion as to how the government allowed itself

:10:42. > :10:46.to get into a position where was defeated and 31 votes. It is the

:10:47. > :10:50.first defeat government has suffered in the House of Commons in this

:10:51. > :10:54.Parliament, and what is worse is that the Prime Minister spent hours

:10:55. > :10:58.of his time in House of Commons talking to MPs who were only elected

:10:59. > :11:06.in May 2015 trying to convince them to vote with him, and he appears to

:11:07. > :11:11.have failed. It is almost inexplicable. It seems strange, but

:11:12. > :11:16.Caroline, there are people out there who don't believe that all the shops

:11:17. > :11:21.should be open for the whole day on a Sunday. Some of those Tory rebels

:11:22. > :11:25.did strike a chord with a lot of the public. I think so, we are all just

:11:26. > :11:29.order to ramble what it was like to have a quiet Sunday. A very

:11:30. > :11:39.disparate, separate distinct part of the week, and there is a certain

:11:40. > :11:43.pleasure in that. You have to balance that with giving people the

:11:44. > :11:46.services they have become used to. I can see how it happened, I am just

:11:47. > :11:49.surprised got this far and has become such a major issue in what is

:11:50. > :11:54.such a four time for the government generally. One of the big crux is of

:11:55. > :11:58.the government has met argument is that Sunday is the most popular

:11:59. > :12:01.shopping day online, and therefore retailers and I should being

:12:02. > :12:05.pummelled by the fact people can go online and shot, but by that

:12:06. > :12:11.rationale shops should be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as

:12:12. > :12:16.is the internet. We will have to end it there. We will look at more of

:12:17. > :12:20.the stories in the paper. Much more coming up now in Sportsday.
