08/05/2016 The Papers

The bathtub goes double for! A successful night for the BBC at the

Baftas, winning more than half the awards. Best entertainment show for

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are the broadcaster Lynn Faulds Wood and

Front pages, then. The Metro previews the speech being made by

David Cameron tomorrow in which he is expected to say that a vote to

remain in the EU keeps Britain safe and secure. The Telegraph has chosen

stronger words, calling the speedy Churchillian. The Mail describes the

speech as an extra reinvention by David Cameron. A similar theme in

the Times. The photo is of Mark Rylance, who won best actor at the

Baftas. The Financial Times reflects on the blows exchanged by George

Osborne and Michael Gove in the referendum debate. The Guardian

reports on a mother's anger at a caution being handed to a

perpetrator of revenge porn. Plans to crack down on health tourism is

in the Express. I'd say he's being called nationwide because of the

sunny weather. Let's begin with the Telegraph and this rather strong

headline, camera leaving EU could bring war. Britain will pay high

cost and risk conflict Europe, says PM in Churchillian speech. I am

looking forward to three hours after he gives his speech because

apparently Boris Johnson, who has written a biography of Churchill and

who is the arch Brexit let's get out person, he will be speaking, so it

will be very interesting what his take on Churchill is. Cameron Percy

recruiting, this is project fear with knobs on. -- Cameron's take.

Not only are they talking about war, this is warning of genocide as well.

Genocide. This will be David Cameron's speech. We have only just

finished a set of elections. We thought we might have 24 hours

before we got stuck into the referendum. But it is a sunny day

today. We quite like some nice stories. We will get to the Baftas

later. James, both sides, the Leave and Remain, are ramping things up.

It isn't just one side or the other that is using more and more

rhetoric. It is like mutually assured destruction! I never thought

I would say this, but I agree with David Cameron. What about war and

genocide? The threat to breaking up the EU could be catastrophic to this

continent. Something that Angela Merkel said last year, when she

wanted to keep grease inside the tent, she said, as a country that

has been responsible for the greatest catastrophe of the 20th

century, we are keen to keep Europe together because this is the longest

period in 1000 years when there has not been a war on the European

continent. Hold on, the Balkans, which was 13, 16 years ago. Forgive

me for saying, didn't we have to be having this referendum in the first

place? Wasn't it to appease the Tories and the right-wingers? We've

got another five to six weeks... The Balkan countries weren't inside the

EU at the time. And that club have remained very stable since 1960, the

Treaty of Rome. But the whole idea of why we are having the referendum,

there is a one word answer and it is Ukip. Ukip 14.5 billion folks at

last year's general election and Cameron was terrified many of his

backbench MPs would migrate Ukip and would tear the Tory party apart. --

14.5 million people. To give them some solace, he said there would be

a referendum. Let's move on. How are they going to work together after

this? Financial Times, Britain would quit single market after vote to

leave EU, Michael Gove admits. George Osborne and Michael Gove

trading verbal blows over whether it would be damaging, James, to

Britain's trade if we were not inside the single market. Yes, he

has been accusing those who want to remain of project fear. This seems

like he wants to wrap up his own sense of fear. It is interesting

that many business leaders have knocked down what he had to say

today. The head of UK production at Siemens said it is staggering to

suggest we would be better off leaving the single market. The

chairman of BT says it is critical to the economic safety of this

country that we remain in the single market because it guarantees that we

exist in a carriage free trade zone. Otherwise, we would be paying an

absolute fortune. -- in a tariff free trade zone. Isn't it a nonsense

to suggest that, if we were to be outside the single market, Germany

would put off tariffs and so would we? They would cancel each other

out, surely? America hasn't done badly on its own and Norway seems

pretty rich... It has to pay European tariffs and it must have

free movement of people. That is one of the options they apparently want

for us. If we left the single market, we would be in a group with

Albania and Serbia. There is a very small group of European countries

outside the single market. The risk is that we wouldn't get special

treatment because of who we are. The EU said there would be no special

treatment for us if we let the single market. It may be that it

echoes what Obama said, that we would go to the back of the queue

for trade agreement in the future. Nobody knows for sure. It is a leap

in the dark for both camps, you can list the pros and cons and you will

find lots of things you like on either side. It is a mess. Difficult

for people to work it out ahead of the vote. The Guardian, Corbyn faces

Labour MPs as Khan calls for a new tone. Jeremy Corbyn has a job on his

hands. Although he did better in the election than he might have done,

there is still work to do to heal the rifts in the party. Absolutely,

and it seems that the success of Sadiq Khan has highlighted the worry

is that people within the Labour movement have about Jeremy Corbyn

and, in fact, in a speech, Khan has said that we don't win elections by

talking to people who already vote Labour. That is a key phrase. For

all his faults, and he really fell out with the Labour movement in the

end, Tony Blair realised that you cannot win number ten without the

middle ground. It is the same in the US. President Reagan won with the

so-called Reagan Democrats, because you can only win power if you can

convince the people in the middle ground that you are competent and

credible and I don't think that Corbyn has achieved that yet. I just

had a wee problem with my microphone, but it is OK. A small

person crept in and adjusted it. A lovely person! What I think is

brilliant about what Cameron has done so far -- Khan has done so far,

he has managed to bring everybody into the tent, first of all, a

Muslim holding his swearing in in Southwark Cathedral with all faiths

and non-faiths there. I have no faith. Today, or was it yesterday,

he was at the Holocaust... Sorry, I had pneumonia, my brain has been

tampered with. He was a Holocaust memorial. This guy is doing things

so far beautifully. I hope he doesn't turn into an attack dog,

because at the moment he is winning in the central ground with the

Labour Party by the way he is behaving. Whether they can overcome

the claims of anti-Semitism that are now being investigated as part of a

wider look at racism in the party, that hasn't gone away yet, as it?

Although this enquiry has started. That's true, and some people said

that it damaged Khan's vote, that he would have had a bigger majority

without. It could have been much higher, because Zac Goldsmith's

tactics were miscalculated, with his ill judged attacks on Khan. My

wonder is whether Khan can write this wave of popularity and bid for

the leadership in the future. Small steps. Winning London is a good

start. I think Zac Goldsmith was badly led. I have met him and

thought, what a nice bloke. He is just a nice bloke, not a top

thumping leader. How much say did he have in his campaign? Jemima Khan

criticised his campaign in the end. Things get reported, so who knows?

What, journalists would miss -- journalists would misreport? The

Daily Telegraph, high drama at Baftas over BBC reform. Sheridan

Smith in the photo. There were some fairly strong words for the Culture

Secretary, John Whittingdale, over his forthcoming BBC reforms, with

the white paper coming out. Neither of us work for the BBC and the

wonderful thing about the Baftas was how much rich stuff there was there.

As started on the BBC 30 years ago, at the same time as the man who went

on to do glorious things like Wolf Hall, and he spoke out, saying, this

is a wonderful brand and you mustn't tamper with it. There is a huge

sense of support for what he said. We don't work for the BBC, and we

can say this. After the NHS, the BBC is this country's greatest

achievement. In my work, I meet lots of foreign journalists and they

cannot believe the amount that some newspapers slack off the BBC. They

said, you can't believe how lucky you are to have the BBC. I do work

for the BBC, currently. There is criticism that the BBC has got too

big, that its scale and scope needs looking at, that it is being to

competitive and aggressive commercially... But look at the

quality of the product at the Baftas, and that was only some of

the stuff. The first ever award for Strictly Come Dancing, which, if

reports are to be believed, John Whittingdale wants to move to a less

popular slot because it is doing too well. My personal favourite, Mary

Berry. She is on the front page of the Guardian, who was the winner of

Great British Bake Off recently. Both of them looking glamorous on

the red carpet. They won the best features programme. Wonderful news

for everybody who is getting older, because there is Mary Berry, looking

brilliant. She is with Mary nightingale, who tweeted, Mary,

Mary. She thought, they recognise me, and she looked around and it was

Mary Berry. If there was a vote tomorrow for president and Mary

Berry was standing, it would be a landslide. Sent her to America and

they might find a use for her! The New York Times, we don't often

feature it, but we have tonight. Trump takes over. This is the

concern in the Republican Party that they have got a presidential

candidate that not everybody is happy with. This is fascinating. I

had dinner with a friend from New York and he is beside himself with

worry. A year ago, nobody said Trump, he was 17 favourite, nobody

said he could get the nomination. Now we is going to get it and he is

going to reach 1237 delegates and be crowned at the convention. My

friend, a liberal New Yorker, is terrified that he could possibly

beat Hillary. The big story is that if success is tearing the

Republicans apart. Paul Ryan, the speaker, has refused to endorse him.

The two living Republican presidents have refused to endorse him. I am

delighted by that, but I think it is bad for democracy if your party is

being destroyed by one maverick with extremely outrageous views. He is a

celebrity. We live in an age... I'm glad I haven't peaked yet, like Mary

Berry. We live in an age where his celebrity and his ability to say

whatever he likes, that is what people are enjoying in him. They are

fed up with the old politicians. He speaks to a lot of people. Millions

of them, actually. The party is falling apart at the seams. Right

now, nobody knows what is going to happen. That's democracy. If Brexit

wins, Boris, being this huge television personality... Steady on!

I haven't got time to put this right and offer opposing views. We are

playing the music. Will you stop? You are arguing against democracy!

Give us until 11:30pm and I will come up with something. Coming up

next, Meet The
