Abrams' latest film, the psychological thriller 10 | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Cloverfield Lane, the sequel to the 2008 film Cloverfield. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
With me are Tim Shipman, political editor of The Sunday Times and | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Caroline Wheeler, political editor of the Sunday Express Tomorrow's | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The Observer leads with the fallout from | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
Iain Duncan Smith's resignation, saying the Tory party is at war. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The Mail on Sunday claims the Prime Minister | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
unleashed a four letter tirade at Mr Duncan Smith when the Work | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
and Pensions Secretary made clear he was determined to resign. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
the resignation could do to George Osborne's leadership ambitions. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
And the Sunday Telegraph says | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
the knives are out for the Chancellor, as he suffers | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
what they call an unprecedented backlash from Tory MPs. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
The photograph is of the England rugby team, celebrating | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
their Six Nations Grand Slam victory. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
The Sunday Express has a different lead, | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
reporting that murder trials could be shown live on TV under plans to | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
And for the last ever print edition | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
of the Independent on Sunday, the paper has | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
the simple headline Lights Out and a special report on climate change. | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
Well, so much to get our teeth into, The Mail on Sunday is where we will | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
begin with Iain Duncan Smith's all out. Outrage, Cameron's four C at | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
Iain Duncan Smith, we can't even allude to what those four letters | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
were. Appalling latter is. David Cameron is not happy to say the | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
least when he heard Iain Duncan Smith was resigning. Iain Duncan | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Smith of course resigned late yesterday. A fairly surprising move, | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
not something we had necessarily seen coming, although | :02:01. | :02:01. | |
behind-the-scenes apparently sources close to him said it has been | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
something he was considering for some time. If you believe the line | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
from Downing Street they were puzzled by why he had gone | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
particularly given they had just climbed down on the thing he was | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
concerned about, of course cuts to the benefits for the disabled. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
That's where they are coming from. This is what David Cameron muttered | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
those words in response to. Puzzled isn't a word the Prime Minister used | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
when he was exploding with rage. I think he was more than puzzled, he | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
was furious. You 4G expletive were told. -- four letter. It's a very | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
serious thing to say. Iain Duncan Smith resigned by letter from his | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
Bucks home -- we're told. He was surprised when he was phoned up and | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
roundly abused for failing to turn up in person and for not giving them | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
to warning. It was all a bit shambolic to be perfectly honest. He | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
resigned at 8:56pm last night. I know. Not the time of day, his poor | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
old special adviser was pulling her hair out, if you're going to resign | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
on Friday night then do it before the first edition of the papers. But | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Iain Duncan Smith insisted on hanging around until he had had two | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
quite difficult conversations with the Prime Minister. You, Tim, in | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
your newspaper, the Sunday Times, look at what this might mean for | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
George Osborne. The focus now is really turning to what this means | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
for the Chancellor. There's a lot of it all over the place this evening. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
We're not saying Osborne is unfit, the man has lost 2.5. Stone, on his | :03:53. | :04:05. | |
way to becoming Prime Minister after David Cameron, but the inevitability | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
of George Osborne has evaporated. Quite a lot of people have come | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
pouring out of the woodwork declaring he is unfit for high | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
office. What is if they are not happy with? A lot of this is quite | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
personal. -- what is it. Osborn lorded it over these people for | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
quite some time. -- Osborne. He's quite influential with the Prime | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Minister in assigning jobs doles out the cash. If you're someone he wants | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
to impress them the phones you up and asks if there's anything he can | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
do for you -- he doles out the cash. When it doesn't look like | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
you're going to win then you need to fall back on personal charm, and | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
that's not been a great strength of the Chancellor so far. One rather | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
sharp tongued minister here is comparing him first to Frank Spencer | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
and secondly to the Child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
is about as damning an insult I've heard for some time. It's about | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
judgement as well. We've had numerous examples where his | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
judgement has been brought into question. There was the Omnishambles | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
budget in 2008, and there was the tax credit fiasco, which wasn't that | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
long ago, only in November. It's whether or not he has understandably | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
core message of the party and a feeling that because he has | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
appointed his proteges to those high positions, he's reflecting his ideas | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
within an echo chamber. Iain Duncan Smith said last night in his | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
resignation statement that this change to the disability payments | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
was a step too far, indefensible to hand over tax breaks to higher | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
earners while taking away benefits from all vulnerable people. Then we | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
have Baroness Altmann, pensions minister, who has walked alongside | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Iain Duncan Smith, really letting loose tonight with this personal | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
statement saying she is incredulous by the way he has behaved and the | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
fact Iain Duncan Smith, she says, championed this very package of | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
reforms that he is now used as a reason for resigning. This is one of | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the more astonishing statements any of us have seen for some time. If | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
one is allowed to inject a note of cynicism, Baroness of modern was | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
busy rounding on George Osborne not so long ago saying he's getting it | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
wrong over pensions -- Baroness Altmann. Today he is getting into | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Iain Duncan Smith that will make the party leadership more happy with | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
her. She said she found it hard to work with him and he wants to | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
further the campaign to leave the EU. If one was being suspicious you | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
could say large chunks of this statement was written in Downing | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Street. I know her well, she's an honourable character, but it's | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
interesting she is prepared to sling the Khyber in this way. I'm sure | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
that's not quite the right phrase. There are bits of this reminiscent | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
of the discussions Number 10 have had with us today. There are quotes | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
that I can recognise here. She was also saying... Iain Duncan Smith | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
shut her up. That's another astonishing bit, from a personal | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
perspective for months I've been silenced by him in what I said has | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
been strictly controlled. That must be the weeks when she wasn't being | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
silenced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Prime Minister. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Maybe she's being silenced by all of them, if she's trying to get a | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
message out that nobody likes. Quite. Don't forget, Ros Ball G-Man | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
is one of Britain's leading pensions experts -- Ros Ball Jo Oldman. She's | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
coming from the outside and often what goes on in Whitehall is pretty | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
baffling to people who not spend a lot of time there. This may be her | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
natural reaction to being cooped up and told to be quiet. She has | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
certainly told us how she feels. Let's move on and away from what's | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
happening with Iain Duncan Smith, but staying with what is happening | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
with the Conservatives. The Sunday Telegraph, Brexit campaign is built | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
on fantasy claims Sir John Major, former Prime Minister, who wasn't | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
always exactly keen on what was going on with the European Union in | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
his own day, was he? He had a tough time from his own people and in the | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
finest traditions of what we've seen from the Prime Minister, he had his | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
own words for the Euro sceptics in those days. You have to feel a bit | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
for Sir John, he's made it on the front of the Telegraph this evening, | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
but he's been bumped from Andrew Marr tomorrow and been replaced by | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Iain Duncan Smith. Good to see him getting an outing here. He's seen as | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
an elder statesman and Downing Street lakes to wheel him out and | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
use him because he's popular with the waverers in the middle that | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
think... My mum thinks he's a nice chap and might listen to what he | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
says about Europe. Why is he saying it's a fantasy to think of Brexit? | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
He's giving a scene Jo similar warning to one we have seen before, | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
saying there would be economic disaster ahead and the breakup of | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
the UK if Britain votes to leave the EU. He said the outcome would | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
trigger a second referendum on Scottish independence, which is | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
another one of those arguments we have seen made before which has | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
struck a fear chord in everybody's hearts, because everyone knows | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Scotland has a different perception of Europe to the rest of the UK. | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
It's an interesting intervention, you can see why he's done it, | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
perhaps that's why he did it, because they knew he was going to be | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
on Marr. I don't see a definitive new argument from those wanting us | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
to remain. It's up to the Leave campaign... This is the tragedy with | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
this debate, we've heard every argument that's likely to be made | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
and we are still 95 days from the key moment. We will be back again. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Who knows what could happen within the Conservative party within that | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
time. That's the problem, this story could become the Conservative party | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
in all out civil war. There's probably more days of that to come. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
And for the government, the risk is they can put up their grid and | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
advance these arguments and put up what they want, but events can | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
intervene. Migration crisis, if there's a terrorist attack, these | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
things could affect the outcome of this in a way they can't control. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Sunday express, a different story, Old Bailey live on TV. Which bits of | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
a case would be shown? This is going to be a pilot scheme. The government | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
has a clear intention, this is the lower action of travel they want to | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
go in, the Ministry of Justice will lay a proposal on Monday to make | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
this pilot scheme a reality. They will film the sentencing statement | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
the judges make. They're doing it in eight courts across the country and | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
the Old Bailey is one of them, which is significant, because the Old | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
Bailey normally gets the most prolific offenders and high profile | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
murder cases we ever see. I must stress it's a pilot, although there | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
is Presidents, because they've started to film in the court of | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
appeal. Britain is usually a way behind other countries. We've seen | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
other trials across other countries before with Oscar Pistorius in South | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Africa and OJ Simpson in America, Amanda Knox. How much appetite is | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
there for this? I wonder how much appetite there is for looking at the | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
sentencing. The danger is unless you get the Monty Python singing judge | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
or something like that it could be rather jump. Most broadcasters for | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
big murder trials would carry that footage. The interesting thing is to | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
see if it expands further and we could get into celebrity barristers | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
strutting their stuff. Anyone who has watched Making A Murderer has | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
seen there's an appetite for true crime on the television, let's see | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
if it takes off. We shall. Finally, lights for the Independent on | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
Sunday. Here's the last print edition it says of this newspaper, | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
but the news never stops, we've got used to these very striking front | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
pages the Independent on Sunday. This is the picture here because it | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
is Earth hour across the world. Very sad. Those of us who work in print | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
don't like to see any publication close, especially not one which is | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
as interesting and different as the Independent on Sunday, which has a | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
lot of fine journalists working with it. I'm baffled by the picture to be | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
honest, it doesn't immediately scream Independent. That is their | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
offices. Especially when they've got an interview with the Prime | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Minister, which I'm quite jealous of. They are talking about optimism | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
for climate change and lights out. A sad day but we will still feature | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
them on the BBC. We will let you go home and go to sleep before you | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
become completely catatonic. Thanks for joining us, it's been a very | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
interesting evening. Coming up next it's time for The Film | :13:28. | :13:28. |
