:00:35. > :00:36.Buckingham Palace's disquiet after the Queen was accused of

:00:37. > :00:39.favouring Britain leaving the EU. The row between

:00:40. > :00:42.the Sun newspaper and the palace is It says the justice secretary

:00:43. > :00:48.Michael Gove is implicated The Times reports on a leak

:00:49. > :00:52.of thousands of sensitive documents that could

:00:53. > :00:58.damage the so-called Islamic State. The names of several British Jihadis

:00:59. > :01:01.are believed to be included amongst Sir George Martin and

:01:02. > :01:04.Sir Paul McCartney are pictured in the Guardian, following the

:01:05. > :01:07.producer's death at the age of 90. Its main story is the defeat

:01:08. > :01:10.of the government's plan to relax The Independent also carries

:01:20. > :01:24.employed in the UK on zero hour contracts has increased and accuses

:01:25. > :01:29.bosses of exploiting job insecurity. The FT carries a warning from senior

:01:30. > :01:35.bankers in Europe about the dangers The paper says a further cut

:01:36. > :01:39.in rates is widely expected. And

:01:40. > :01:41.the jail terms given to five members of the gang behind the Hatton Garden

:01:42. > :01:44.diamond heist feature in the Metro. The sentences of up to seven

:01:45. > :01:56.years are described as "soft". The super sleuths in Fleet Street.

:01:57. > :02:02.They reckon they've got their man, Michael Gove! The Daily Telegraph

:02:03. > :02:08.imply that the justice secretary was the leak for this notorious Sun

:02:09. > :02:11.front-page yesterday. There is a serious point. The government

:02:12. > :02:17.operates because the Queen can express her views to her trusted

:02:18. > :02:24.ministers. The fact that we don't know the Queen's view on anything

:02:25. > :02:29.shows how respectful vat system has been. Clearly a few words have been

:02:30. > :02:42.said about the Queen's perceived view. It is a mess. Although Michael

:02:43. > :02:45.Gove... You will have to prove it was Michael Gove, for him to be in a

:02:46. > :02:50.position where you may have to resign, but it is notable that the

:02:51. > :02:55.palace has complained to the press regulator. This is significant and

:02:56. > :03:01.serious breach. If it is proved he was the source of the leak, and if

:03:02. > :03:04.he is denying it -- and he is denying it, do you think this is a

:03:05. > :03:11.resigning matter? Absolutely. This is a serious matter. If compromised

:03:12. > :03:14.the Queen's position, implied the monarchy is taking sides in a debate

:03:15. > :03:18.that's actually about the British people deciding and the entire

:03:19. > :03:21.structure is about that. The Prime Minister of our country has an

:03:22. > :03:26.hour-long meeting with the Queen once a week during term time. Those

:03:27. > :03:32.are never leaked. No Prime Minister has ever said the Queen said this,

:03:33. > :03:38.the Queen said that. In private she should be able to express her views.

:03:39. > :03:43.Caroline, everyone on both sides will be passing the words of

:03:44. > :03:47.influential people when it comes to this very difficult question of

:03:48. > :03:51.whether we should stay in or out. The Queen is as influential as they

:03:52. > :03:56.come and she gave a speech in Berlin a few months ago I think it was

:03:57. > :04:01.where some suggested that she was in favour of the EU. Its William Davies

:04:02. > :04:05.speech a few weeks ago where it showed in some people's view that he

:04:06. > :04:09.was in favour of the EU as well. This will go on for four months!

:04:10. > :04:16.Then we complain if Prince William and his wife tuck themselves away.

:04:17. > :04:22.Because the minute they say a word... Prince Charles as we know

:04:23. > :04:29.has never been very forthcoming and he has been the beneficiary of much

:04:30. > :04:33.stamping of glasses, but what happens is people looking for

:04:34. > :04:39.something... This could have been an anecdote, a Chinese whisper. It was

:04:40. > :04:44.also five years ago. What were you thinking about the referendum five

:04:45. > :04:52.years ago? But this is it and it has been jumped upon. This can only come

:04:53. > :05:02.back to bite them. The Sun is now trying to bring the Clegg equation.

:05:03. > :05:05.I am not saying the Sun are pro Brexit but they aren't mentioning

:05:06. > :05:10.Michael Gove in the same way that other newspapers are. They've taken

:05:11. > :05:25.a picture of her Majesty in her most combat if -- unimpressed stage. If

:05:26. > :05:29.we pull out to show the full front-page, you've got allegedly the

:05:30. > :05:40.Queen, angry at Europe, and then this story at the bottom. It is

:05:41. > :05:45.interesting you say... I don't think Rupert Murdoch has come out on

:05:46. > :05:50.either side so far. This front page from the Sun suggests he might be

:05:51. > :05:58.leaning that way. Obviously you are jumping the gun on a man who hasn't

:05:59. > :06:01.made his impressions felt. However, incidentally Michael Gove was a

:06:02. > :06:07.guest at Rupert Murdoch's wedding this weekend. As if we needed an

:06:08. > :06:14.extra element in the conspiracy! But the Sun are building on the story of

:06:15. > :06:20.the Queen's suppose that feelings. They aren't exactly backing off and

:06:21. > :06:25.they are standing by it. They aren't obviously going to be backpedalling

:06:26. > :06:35.all of a sudden. I think the problem for the Sun and the watchdog is that

:06:36. > :06:41.it is the link that their sources made of an event back in 2011 and a

:06:42. > :06:46.referendum taking place in four months time. And nothing explicit

:06:47. > :06:53.has been said. When the queen visited Germany she said it is bad

:06:54. > :06:56.if you are in position out. I can't think of a more bland phrase. When

:06:57. > :07:01.Prince William went to the Foreign Office he said we have always been

:07:02. > :07:09.an outward looking nation and that's been interpreted as a dramatic

:07:10. > :07:13.intervention in the referendum. But what else would you say if you are

:07:14. > :07:19.visiting the Foreign Office? It is a desperate attempt to bring the royal

:07:20. > :07:27.family into this argument. The front page of the Times. Stephen Hawking.

:07:28. > :07:33.Leeds 150 scientist against the Brexit. They are all coming out. We

:07:34. > :07:37.have the military top brass little while ago and now we've moved on to

:07:38. > :07:46.the scientists. We do wonder what's next. Builders for Brexit. We will

:07:47. > :07:54.see more of this. You're counting down. More than 100 days. Is anyone

:07:55. > :07:59.going to be swayed by that? Stephen Hawking, royal society scientist...

:08:00. > :08:03.They only have to reach one section of society. If a bunch of

:08:04. > :08:07.scientists, science students, people in technology, certain areas of

:08:08. > :08:11.business, if that captures one group of people than they've done their

:08:12. > :08:14.job, then they move onto the military, the builders other

:08:15. > :08:20.sectors. If we've got 100 days of people queueing up to not be for

:08:21. > :08:24.Brexit, then they are going to have to fight... Everytime this happen

:08:25. > :08:27.the pro Brexit people are going to have to find something equally

:08:28. > :08:34.proportionate to come out with. So it is kind of doing a bit of a

:08:35. > :08:43.spoken campaign. What the argument Stephen Hawking has been made? As a

:08:44. > :08:51.scientist, why are? -- why? Explained the front-page! It is to

:08:52. > :08:55.do with the grants and cooperation with scientists across the EU. That

:08:56. > :09:04.lovely thing of shared knowledge being better for everyone? This is

:09:05. > :09:09.all very nice, Stephen Hawking and a certain section of society, but

:09:10. > :09:15.that's what makes the Sun's page yesterday in Patfull. If there's one

:09:16. > :09:23.person on the country who is influential it is the Queen. --

:09:24. > :09:27.impactful. Millions of readers being told by a paper that the Queen wants

:09:28. > :09:35.to leave. Which is why the palace has been so vehement in its denial.

:09:36. > :09:43.This is from the same company, so this is much tamer. This is Mr

:09:44. > :09:48.Murdoch keeping us all on the edge of our seats. Let's hope he doesn't

:09:49. > :09:57.get splinters sitting on that fence. The Times. Thousands of secret ISIS

:09:58. > :10:00.recruit leaked. Apparently the security services are examining

:10:01. > :10:05.files, 22,000 fighters and the details. The documents reveal that

:10:06. > :10:12.ISIS has set up a human resources centre that requires a 23 sections

:10:13. > :10:16.survey, giving names, birth dates, nationalities, blood types.

:10:17. > :10:19.Respective members were asked to choose between being a suicide

:10:20. > :10:25.bomber, a soldier and other role, and detail any other jihadist

:10:26. > :10:28.experience. It is interesting HR departments in terrorist

:10:29. > :10:31.organisations have the same questions as any other organisation!

:10:32. > :10:34.But what is interesting is they've elected all of this data and the

:10:35. > :10:40.surgery services have gotten hold of it. That's a big blow for them as it

:10:41. > :10:43.means we have an idea of whether fighters are coming from. If it is

:10:44. > :10:51.real then it's a significant breakthrough. A huge window on to

:10:52. > :10:55.the way that this group operates. It highlights how sophisticated they

:10:56. > :11:02.are. It isn't just a bunch of people firing aimlessly into the sky. They

:11:03. > :11:05.know what bear doing. Absolutely. It seeks to model itself on the style

:11:06. > :11:11.of Western governments that it aims to overthrow. What does Alami, as

:11:12. > :11:16.much as I am comforted by seeing this breach, I'm not sure I am

:11:17. > :11:23.comforted by seeing it publicised on our side like this. I know it is a

:11:24. > :11:26.morale booster, but I am happy the less I know because I like to think

:11:27. > :11:29.that people smarter than me with wide reaching the less I know

:11:30. > :11:31.because I like to think that people smarter than me with wide reaching

:11:32. > :11:33.resources are sitting as applicable, rather than necessarily need looking

:11:34. > :11:41.at this list and thinking, that's interesting! The headlines, the

:11:42. > :11:46.files leaked, is this leaked to the security services all leaked to the

:11:47. > :11:51.press? I will be frank, it is unclear. From the way the story is

:11:52. > :11:54.written it is unclear. It is also worth pointing out that only a small

:11:55. > :12:03.portion of cash is thought to have come through so far. This suspicion

:12:04. > :12:07.is that there is more to come. Tory rebels kill off PM plan for Sunday

:12:08. > :12:10.trading. You spent the whole day in the lobby at the Commons reporting

:12:11. > :12:17.on this. I know you are happy man about it. I want you to share your

:12:18. > :12:20.enthusiasm. I am never a happy when I am watching MPs at work! I did go

:12:21. > :12:24.to the toilet and have a meal. I didn't spend the entire time there,

:12:25. > :12:28.but I did see the bulk of the debate. If you know what's going on,

:12:29. > :12:33.if you know who the players are, the Commons is endlessly fascinating. So

:12:34. > :12:39.I am watching the try minister's bagman coming, tap and MP on the

:12:40. > :12:42.shoulder and take him out for a meal. At one point the Prime

:12:43. > :12:49.Minister went and sat by the main rebel and was showing him something

:12:50. > :12:53.on her phone. Basically trying to get these people, their own MPs, not

:12:54. > :13:01.to rebel. And of course they did rebel in numbers. The first defeat

:13:02. > :13:06.for this government. Also, it is hard to understand why the Prime

:13:07. > :13:09.Minister expanded such a huge amount of political capital on what is a

:13:10. > :13:12.relatively minor change to the way in which Sunday trading is

:13:13. > :13:16.administered, whether that is done by local counties or central

:13:17. > :13:23.government. So it has been a day of high drama but a puzzling day as

:13:24. > :13:30.well. The finger is being pointed at the Scottish nationals by David

:13:31. > :13:38.Cameron couldn't keep his own MPs in line. Some decided they would rebel

:13:39. > :13:44.against this. Absolutely. Sometimes, I know they say 18 is at its weakest

:13:45. > :13:47.after it has scored a goal, I'm not suggesting David Cameron's

:13:48. > :13:57.negotiations on Europe were successful but he has been at that

:13:58. > :14:00.end of the pitch. -- is a. There's been a bit going on behind the back

:14:01. > :14:05.doors at Westminster and this is the result. I've witnessed no dribbling

:14:06. > :14:11.in corridors! I want to make that clear. Metaphor finished. We will

:14:12. > :14:18.end with the Daily Mail. One of many papers that has Sir George Martin on

:14:19. > :14:25.the front page. He has been described as the fifth Beetle. As

:14:26. > :14:30.soon as this news was broken and there were two incredible personal

:14:31. > :14:36.tributes from Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. As you quoted earlier, he

:14:37. > :14:39.said he was not only the most musical but also the most

:14:40. > :14:43.intelligent and nicest man he had ever come across. Paul McCartney

:14:44. > :14:47.presumably has met a lot of talented people. What he got lucky very

:14:48. > :14:53.young. He turned up as a young 20-year-old at Abbey Road when

:14:54. > :14:57.George Martin entered his life. George Martin was in his late 30s

:14:58. > :15:00.when he took on The Beatles wrote that he was able to mental them and

:15:01. > :15:06.he was one of the few people they listen to. I will use this moment

:15:07. > :15:11.just to say that 15 years ago I watched the TV series, George

:15:12. > :15:16.Martin, a 3-part series. It is on YouTube and I am hoping the BBC will

:15:17. > :15:19.repeat it. I learnt more about music in that 3-part series hosted by

:15:20. > :15:23.George Martin that I have ever learnt before. Very interesting. But

:15:24. > :15:33.it wasn't just The Beatles Row. Elton John, Elvis Costello.

:15:34. > :15:41.I was going to say that, there are few people falling you can say that

:15:42. > :15:45.their work speaks of himself, and that is George Martin's legacy. You

:15:46. > :15:50.will not need to explain to future generations why he was a genius, you

:15:51. > :15:58.can do is put on his music, and it will be self-explanatory. 700

:15:59. > :16:01.singles, extraordinary. It is, and he has sadly left us. It has been

:16:02. > :16:08.great having you in, looking at some of the stories behind the headlines.

:16:09. > :16:11.Many thanks. If you are Chelsea fan, look away now. Sportsday is coming

:16:12. > :16:13.up.
