:00:00. > :00:00.second leg will be an uphill struggle in berry-macro we will also

:00:00. > :00:10.-- and uphill struggle. We will also have more on the rugby and tennis.

:00:11. > :00:35.That at 10:45pm. Welcome to our look at the papers.

:00:36. > :00:40.Let us begin with the front pages. Osborne's council tax bombshell is

:00:41. > :00:46.where we will begin. It is on the The I. It says millions will be hit

:00:47. > :00:50.after the Chancellor changes rules. We don't have a lot of detail. We

:00:51. > :01:01.don't, but the thing we have to note is that this government has two

:01:02. > :01:14.decide whether or not to raise the covers by revaluing our homes or

:01:15. > :01:17.not. Will it be a rebranding of properties? I can't see a

:01:18. > :01:23.revaluation happening. Note government would be crazy to do

:01:24. > :01:29.that. There may be extra bands added on top, particularly in London where

:01:30. > :01:34.homes are valued so highly. There is this idea that Osborne might remove

:01:35. > :01:39.the cap that exist on councils for raising council tax. That would

:01:40. > :01:46.allow him to put the blame for the rises onto the councils themselves.

:01:47. > :01:51.But nobody wants to see their services reduced, but nobody likes

:01:52. > :01:54.having to pay more for them. At the moment there is a double squeeze.

:01:55. > :01:59.Libraries shouting, schools that need to be built, the cost of

:02:00. > :02:03.elderly care. This money has to come from somewhere and it looks like

:02:04. > :02:08.taxing people through their front door is going to be the way forward.

:02:09. > :02:12.Looking at it politically it is interesting. This was a real

:02:13. > :02:21.flagship policy for the government to hold down council tax. They were

:02:22. > :02:30.saying they were helping of working families by holding council tax

:02:31. > :02:36.down. But they can't hold it down for ever. Ultimately, it is a real

:02:37. > :02:40.terms cut. Indeed, and when you look carefully at it, when you look at

:02:41. > :02:45.the issue of devolution, we hopefully have a mayor in

:02:46. > :02:48.Manchester. They will have a lot of money under their control and the

:02:49. > :02:52.ability to raise those finances at a local level will be the way forward.

:02:53. > :02:58.Let us look at the Guardian. Labour plan to borrow billions for

:02:59. > :03:05.investment. Maybe that is not quite the headline that the shadow

:03:06. > :03:08.chancellor was intending. He is promising iron discipline. Tell us

:03:09. > :03:12.what he is going to do. I like this story. It is one that has been

:03:13. > :03:17.bouncing around for months and months. They are talking about the

:03:18. > :03:23.new fiscal credibility wall. The basic substance of it is that they

:03:24. > :03:25.will borrow to invest, but they will balance the day-to-day budget. That

:03:26. > :03:30.is pretty much something John McDonald has been saying since

:03:31. > :03:36.October last year. There was a point when he said he was going to go with

:03:37. > :03:41.George Osborne's fiscal charter, to balance the entire budget. He backed

:03:42. > :03:45.away from it, causing confusion. He did then say he would balance the

:03:46. > :03:50.day-to-day budget. There is not too much more going forward, but what

:03:51. > :03:55.there is is a bit more bite to the office of budget responsibility in

:03:56. > :03:57.terms of policing his fiscal. Whether that will come through,

:03:58. > :04:06.whether it is enough to convince people that there is credibility now

:04:07. > :04:11.is another question. Labour had a fiscal edibility problem under Ed

:04:12. > :04:14.Miliband. Labour's problem goes further than that. They are still

:04:15. > :04:21.trying to deal with this one bit, but they need to deal with robbers

:04:22. > :04:27.of credibility before people think about the fiscal policies. But as

:04:28. > :04:33.the Chancellor this is what he will concentrate on and it is an issue of

:04:34. > :04:37.trust. This is not for the country, it is for everyone in the party.

:04:38. > :04:40.People are lining up to take away his throne. Angela Eagle was

:04:41. > :04:46.sidelined and is now business secretary. Rachel Reid is tapping

:04:47. > :05:00.her fingernails in the back, and Dan Jarvis gave a wonderful talk today.

:05:01. > :05:08.People are lining up with knives to put in John 's back. There is talk

:05:09. > :05:14.of what economic policy Labour should have. John McDonald has been

:05:15. > :05:18.doing the beetle of the country, speaking to Labour Party members.

:05:19. > :05:22.People are saying he is gearing up for a potential future leadership

:05:23. > :05:29.bid himself. Perhaps this is in saying he has a control on the

:05:30. > :05:34.party's economic policies. Labour have not been on the front pages so

:05:35. > :05:38.much of late. It has been the European Union and the

:05:39. > :05:46.Conservatives. In The Times, President Obama blames David Cameron

:05:47. > :05:49.for the mess left in Libya. This is the suggestion that David Cameron

:05:50. > :05:55.was distracted and should have done more in Libya. This is an amazing

:05:56. > :05:58.story. When you think about how relations are conducted between

:05:59. > :06:04.leaders of the UK and the US, for the president to come out, and not

:06:05. > :06:08.in and off the cuff way, but in an on record interview for an magazine,

:06:09. > :06:18.to make these comments same David Cameron was distracted and the UK

:06:19. > :06:24.was joined to be a free ride by not meeting is 2% defence budget, it is

:06:25. > :06:32.quite a big thing for him to do and you can get the feeling this is a

:06:33. > :06:36.president now who is liberated. The focus is on Trump and Hillary

:06:37. > :06:41.Clinton and he is just letting loose. I do understand the White

:06:42. > :06:45.House is making it clear that no, the special relationship is still

:06:46. > :06:51.intact, it is fine. It is not that special boat, after this. David

:06:52. > :06:55.Cameron was flanked by Nicolas Sarkozy talking about Libya, we are

:06:56. > :06:59.your friends will always be here for you and as soon as we expect

:07:00. > :07:04.democracy to fly, it flew away. There was that photo opportunity in

:07:05. > :07:17.Benghazi when they came as liberators and gave a speech two

:07:18. > :07:27.Libyans. But Lord Rifkind has said it is a bit of a cheek. We committed

:07:28. > :07:32.more of our military resources than the US did. And now we are seeing

:07:33. > :07:37.the fruits of this, are we not? We left the plug in Libya, but

:07:38. > :07:42.unfortunately it is an open door. At the time when the French and British

:07:43. > :07:45.intervened, there were senators, congressmen or in America who were

:07:46. > :07:51.pushing a banner to say we need to take the lead in this situation.

:07:52. > :07:54.This is where the world's police man should step in and make a mark, but

:07:55. > :08:03.he did not want to get involved at that time. He did not want to get in

:08:04. > :08:05.-- he did not want to put skin in the game. Perhaps they did get

:08:06. > :08:16.distracted afterwards. The NewDay. Surprised by that

:08:17. > :08:22.picture. I'm not sure. Breast cancer, beaten

:08:23. > :08:31.in 11 days. Are there details as to how? It is the combination of twin

:08:32. > :08:38.drugs. Herceptin, it carries a heavy load. And a new one that I cannot

:08:39. > :08:43.pronounce. What we do know, however is how many

:08:44. > :08:46.mothers, sisters, wives are challenged by breast cancer and how

:08:47. > :08:52.many families are torn apart by this. It is the whole idea now that

:08:53. > :08:58.we can have tailored drugs for each woman, for each family, no doubt,

:08:59. > :09:03.that she comes from, is embedded in, and attack this cancer in 11 days by

:09:04. > :09:14.using drugs we have in a different combination.

:09:15. > :09:19.Herceptin works on the surface of Ken Adam Scouse drugs and the other

:09:20. > :09:26.works beside the cell. I could not say hawker, hunter,

:09:27. > :09:30.earlier. It is a great break through. Cancer

:09:31. > :09:37.does attack young families, young lives. Grandmother, aunts, we have

:09:38. > :09:41.all been know. It is great to know if we are faced with it, there is a

:09:42. > :09:46.way forward. Finally, are the Camerons thinking

:09:47. > :09:51.of staying on at Number Ten? We know he is going? I think so. If that

:09:52. > :09:55.story was really what it was purporting to be it would be on the

:09:56. > :10:00.front page, rather than a question on the front page.

:10:01. > :10:04.So, what is the suggestion, he is leaving the option open to stay on

:10:05. > :10:10.as the MP, if that is the case, you could be the Prime Minister? You

:10:11. > :10:15.could be, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, in facts the entire party may

:10:16. > :10:18.have something to say about that. I think he may be house hunting. It

:10:19. > :10:27.is a play on words. We have a while to wait. That's it

:10:28. > :10:34.for the front pages. Sophia and Joe are back at 23. 30, to have another

:10:35. > :10:35.look at the headlines. Now it is time for
