:00:00. > :00:14.that is all from sports day. Coming up, the papers.

:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Liam Halligan, who's an Economics Commentator

:00:21. > :00:23.at the Telegraph and the Political Commentator, Ayesha Hazarika.

:00:24. > :00:34.The front pages are dominated by one story -

:00:35. > :00:40.A single image takes the whole of the Metro's front page.

:00:41. > :00:43.The Mirror also dedicates a full page to the american pop singer

:00:44. > :00:52.The 'i' calls him a musical colossus.

:00:53. > :00:57.of his famous lyrics - 'but life is just a party,

:00:58. > :01:00.The Daily Mail leads with the Queen's 90th

:01:01. > :01:05.The Times says President Obama will appeal to voters in the UK

:01:06. > :01:07.to stay within the EU, as he visits London for the last

:01:08. > :01:22.Let's begin and really only one place to begin, with the death of

:01:23. > :01:28.Prince. Let's start with the Sun. A purple hue on the front page of the

:01:29. > :01:33.Sun, it makes a grey front page. Prince dies on Queen's birthday. I

:01:34. > :01:37.am such a massive fan, I am devastated. Prince was the first gig

:01:38. > :01:41.I ever saw up in Glasgow back on the day had he was the last gig I ever

:01:42. > :01:45.went to as well two years ago, I was lucky enough to go to a very

:01:46. > :01:48.intimate gig he did at a concealed at the hippodrome in Leicester

:01:49. > :01:54.Square, and it was a tiny gig and it was mind blowing. The guy was such a

:01:55. > :01:58.showman and he was there with his all girl band and he still had all

:01:59. > :02:02.the move said he was just a phenomenal performer. He was

:02:03. > :02:06.beautiful, he was talented, he was exquisite, he was very different as

:02:07. > :02:11.well. But it is a huge force. He was still working and churning out the

:02:12. > :02:15.albums, still very active in his career. This comes as a massive

:02:16. > :02:24.shock. It is definitely a massive shock. He was 57 but a five foot to

:02:25. > :02:29.political giant. On several Grammys, an Oscar. I am of a slightly older

:02:30. > :02:34.vintage so I was around when purple rain was ubiquitous, I always took

:02:35. > :02:40.more interest with respect, in the influences that came together to

:02:41. > :02:45.form Prince, Santana, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix of course. James Brown.

:02:46. > :02:50.Earth wind and Fire. He combined all of that. He was an extremely good

:02:51. > :02:55.guitarist, it was not all just for sure. I'd also a grey dancer. I just

:02:56. > :03:02.hope kids today realises is a big moment. If we turn to the I, and

:03:03. > :03:08.other picture dominating the front page, as you have just said, Liam,

:03:09. > :03:13.100 million records sold, several Grammys. The life of a musical

:03:14. > :03:17.colossus. That is interesting because he was this fantastic

:03:18. > :03:22.showman that you talk about, but he was as you said, he played guitar,

:03:23. > :03:27.he played drums, he played instruments, he produced his music.

:03:28. > :03:34.He wrote it. He wrote the bangles manic Monday. Shakoor can, feel for

:03:35. > :03:41.you. The Sinead O'Connor anthem, I think appear to you. He did it all.

:03:42. > :03:45.And some of his albums, some of his tracks, he played all of the

:03:46. > :03:48.instruments. He was just talented across all of the entire sweep of

:03:49. > :03:54.musical production, performance, putting on a show, and I think he

:03:55. > :03:59.pushed the barriers as well as a young black man in the music

:04:00. > :04:02.industry, the kind of push the boundaries in terms of sexuality,

:04:03. > :04:08.racial equality, he was a genuinely shape shifting, envelope pushing

:04:09. > :04:14.iconic artist. As a result he is on the front page of the daily Mirror,

:04:15. > :04:19.Prince dead at 57. A very striking image of him there. Repeating what

:04:20. > :04:26.we have been saying, that his death has shocked the world. Also at the

:04:27. > :04:31.top corner, victory. It says praise for Miller as the Tories part

:04:32. > :04:35.nationalise British Steel. I am not sure The Mirror can take full

:04:36. > :04:40.responsibility for this, but what is all this about? This is a hugely

:04:41. > :04:45.important study, not just to the future of the British Steel industry

:04:46. > :04:51.but also our industrial heritage. In the 15,000 people who work for Tater

:04:52. > :04:54.steal at Port Talbot and Scunthorpe. The government has indicated, and it

:04:55. > :05:00.is still an indication, that they are prepared to put in ?1 billion to

:05:01. > :05:05.buy 25% to sweeten the deal for an incoming investor, there will also

:05:06. > :05:10.be a deal done about pension liabilities which are vital

:05:11. > :05:14.important. Not just for existing workers but former workers. The

:05:15. > :05:18.company is losing ?1 million per day and something needs to happen. I

:05:19. > :05:22.think the politics of this are quite vivid, the Tories reaching for

:05:23. > :05:27.renationalisation, even though ideological and a lot of people find

:05:28. > :05:32.that difficult to stomach. I do wonder how viable is this industry

:05:33. > :05:36.while China is making steel at the price it is? It is very difficult,

:05:37. > :05:41.and this is an industry which has suffered decline for a long time. I

:05:42. > :05:45.remember going up when Ravenscraig closed, it was an industry that has

:05:46. > :05:50.a lot of difficulties. I am glad the government has made this move, but

:05:51. > :05:56.one worries about how viable this industry will be for the future, in

:05:57. > :06:00.these areas. And it will, for the workers and families, they will be

:06:01. > :06:03.pleased about it, but we do need a more long-term industrial strategy

:06:04. > :06:07.which is going to look at how we can try and sustain some of these

:06:08. > :06:11.industries or if we can sustain, how do we sort of move to different

:06:12. > :06:15.industries as well? Because once these industries go it is very hard

:06:16. > :06:19.for other jobs to come back and replace them and it is not just the

:06:20. > :06:23.immediate job losses, it is what happens to the next generation as

:06:24. > :06:27.well. There is a very deep social cost to pay for these industries

:06:28. > :06:34.going under. Energy costs are very high in the UK for all sorts of

:06:35. > :06:38.reasons, and also innovation. There are highly specialised steelmakers

:06:39. > :06:42.in Britain, in Sheffield, and I think some of the other chef --

:06:43. > :06:47.other steelmakers must take a leaf out of that book. We're building

:06:48. > :06:51.railways and power stations, we still need steel. Let's turn to the

:06:52. > :06:56.Times, a picture of Prince but the different headline. Don't turn away

:06:57. > :07:02.from EU, Obama tells Britain. This is President Barack Obama has

:07:03. > :07:05.arrived in Britain. Will this make a difference? It will make a political

:07:06. > :07:09.difference in that many of those calling for exit will be really

:07:10. > :07:13.upset. This is President Barack Obama's last planned visit, of

:07:14. > :07:16.course the US election is in November and he may make another one

:07:17. > :07:22.but we don't know. I wanted to mention a Tory MP, Portsmouth MP who

:07:23. > :07:27.is the Armed Forces Minister, she has written a really audacious and

:07:28. > :07:31.redoubtable letter to the seven former US Treasury Secretary 's. The

:07:32. > :07:36.equivalent of our Chancellor of the Exchequer 's, really average people

:07:37. > :07:42.like Larry Summers, Robert Rubin, big political beasts. They have said

:07:43. > :07:46.that the UK should ignore British exit and stay in the EU. She said

:07:47. > :07:50.why don't you, to use that American phrase, but out. She has some really

:07:51. > :07:54.interesting things to say in the letter. If you are ever prepared to

:07:55. > :07:58.allow your grey nation to give up its money and Borders and have the

:07:59. > :08:05.creation of your laws and judgments to another power I will happily

:08:06. > :08:09.re-examine your view. I don't think it is unreasonable for President

:08:10. > :08:14.Barack Obama you have a view, or Angela Merkel, it is really big.

:08:15. > :08:17.Britain and America have an important, deep strategic

:08:18. > :08:21.relationship. This is a big decision not just for us but it will have a

:08:22. > :08:26.geopolitical ramifications and the sort of comeback to any worse, look,

:08:27. > :08:30.the truth is it is all right for you saying you Americans but out of our

:08:31. > :08:37.stuff, but we are happy commentating on Trump and the American elections,

:08:38. > :08:42.10p, so these are big things. It would be grey if Prince Philip comes

:08:43. > :08:46.in on Trump. Filled versus Trump. Maybe Trump would be his match!

:08:47. > :08:51.President Barack Obama has had a hard time from Congress, but he is

:08:52. > :08:54.still a political icon for many people in this country. His

:08:55. > :08:58.intervention will still pack a big punch. We've hardly got any time,

:08:59. > :09:02.you mentioned Prince Philip but it is the Queen who make the front page

:09:03. > :09:06.of the Daily Express. She has dominated front pages for the last

:09:07. > :09:12.three days. She has and a lot of people will look at her and think,

:09:13. > :09:16.at 90, her commitment, she became the Queen of such a young age when

:09:17. > :09:19.her husband died, when her father died, and she really has dedicated

:09:20. > :09:23.her entire adult life to public service. I understand lots of people

:09:24. > :09:30.have issues with how long should the Royal family go on for, but I think

:09:31. > :09:34.when she turned 98 is right to acknowledge the public service she

:09:35. > :09:38.has done. It has taken a Prince to knock off the front pages but not

:09:39. > :09:42.the one she thought. That is for papers denied. Before you go these

:09:43. > :09:47.front pages have come in while we have been on air. The Telegraph has

:09:48. > :09:51.an exclusive with President Barack Obama, seeing that the US sacrifice

:09:52. > :09:55.in the Second World War made America has a stake in the referendum

:09:56. > :09:59.debate. But forget all the front pages online on the BBC News website

:10:00. > :10:08.where you can read a detailed view -- review of the papers. It is all/

:10:09. > :10:12.papers. And you can see I was with each night's edition of the papers

:10:13. > :10:16.published shortly after we finish. Thank you both. Thanks for being

:10:17. > :10:27.with us. Good to talk to you. Goodbye.

:10:28. > :10:33.Good evening. It has been a largely quiet and Friday with decent spells

:10:34. > :10:36.of sunshine. The weather behaved itself impeccably for the Queen 's

:10:37. > :10:38.90th birthday at Windsor Castle, clouding over a little towards the

:10:39. > :10:41.end of the day.
