Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With this are Lynn Faulds Wood and James Rampton from the Independent.

The Telegraph has chosen stronger words to

describe the Prime Minister's speech, calling it Churchillian.

And the Mail describes the speech

as an extraordinary intervention by David Cameron.

A similar theme in the Times and the photo is

The Guardian reports on a mother's anger that

just a caution was handed down to a perpetrator of revenge-porn.

Plans to crackdown on so-called health tourism is

And the Daily Star forecasts sickies being pulled

nationwide because of the sunny weather.

But around this table. Let's look at the Daily Mail, shall we. EU vote,

the PE warns of war and genocide, -- the PM. Extraordinary, because of

the tone of it or... ? They are worried about the tone. In the

comment section they are saying, is it too much to hope the PM will tone

down the rhetoric and start to treat the electorate like adults? I

understand what they are saying, at his tone is very apocalyptic, but I

never thought I would say this on air, I agree with him, that the past

1000 years, continental Europe has been in turmoil and conflict, and

since the formation of the EU, the members of that club have never had

a war. That is the longest time in history of Europe. I know Angela

Merkel, the German Chancellor, leaves very strongly that European

unity is dedicated on the EU, that it rings us together and we are not

going to fall out. It is almost visceral thing about staying

together, and you are not going to fight each other if you are

together, and I think the athlete Lee has a good point, David Cameron.

-- he absolutely. How is the leave campaign going to counter this?

Trouble at the moment is you have the leave campaign coming up with

something that is quite a good idea, and some things that are not a good

idea. The pros and cons are mixed up. Tomorrow the leaders will be

coming out and saying, we will all be fine, the only war we have had

was just outside Europe, which was when Yugoslavia broke up. And that

was a 16 or 17 years ago. The rest of the time we have not had wars.

The project of the EU was supposed to be stopping, they are bringing

war veterans, these people did not fight for us to leave Europe, and

there are some war veterans who have actually come out to support David

Cameron and the remainder is, -- the remaining campaign, and saying this

has been jeopardised. The front pages saying it is not the EU that

has kept peace, it is Nato. That is a wider alliance. There is that, but

there is the symbolic valley of being in a club together, which

means that you are not going to be fighting like rats in a sack. I also

think that the many other strong point made by the remain campaign

today in response to what Michael Gove said this morning, he is

suggesting that if we leave the EU we will also leave the single

market, and I am not an economic expert, but I think that the UK

chief executive of Siemens went -- may well be. He suggested that was

staggering, and the head of BT said the same thing. There is lots of

evidence that this fire that Michael Gove has taken about how we would

easily be able to have tariff free trade -- tariff free trade, like

Albania and Serbia, I think that is nonsense. This is the time is that

you are talking about. You are doing my job to me. -- the Times. " Brexit

will raise risk of war", that is the headline. Outside of their official

roles, some business leaders speaking in a personal capacity,

have poured cold water on this idea. Tomorrow we have this big

speech by David Cameron, he is going to be invoking Churchill, and three

hours after his speech, Boris Johnson is coming out with a speech,

and he wrote an autobiography of Churchill, so he will be invoking a

different Churchill, from the one that David Cameron... It is just

becoming so confusing. We have 45 days yet to go, we have war and

genocide in tomorrow's papers, what will happen after that? It is just

going to be... The latest poll which was done for good morning Britain,

so it must be true was 42% for remaining, 42% believing, and there

was another 19% or something, is that the correct maths? That is very

much in the margin of error. That is too close to call. Nobody knows what

will happen, and we know what the polls were like last year in the

general election. If they keep raving this up anything could

happen. Calm, tells -- Sadiq Khan tells Jeremy Coleman, labour needs a

bigger tents. Is that idea that they cannot appeal to that court reliable

vote, they will never get elected? Gerry Corbyn is -- Djere Neade grow

one, is supposed to appeal to that left wing, he has done this in a

very each big tent way, so to speak, two days he seems to has appealed to

most, having in his swearing-in ceremony at Southwark Cathedral with

all faiths present, and today at the Holocaust memorial, he does seem to

be trying to bring everybody in, and what he is basically saying is that

Jeremy Corbyn has been too left-wing, and that he has to widen

his tent. I agree, that Sadiq Khan has played a blinder since he won

the election, and something else he said today, we do not win elections

by talking to people who already vote Labour. Tony Blair knew that in

1997, you only win number 10 by winning the middle ground. It is the

same in America, Ronald Reagan won the White House by ringing the

Reagan Democrats, you can only win if you have a broad appeal. You have

to wonder how vulnerable Jeremy Corbyn is now, having got through

the elections in a better way, than many people thought. I think he is

vulnerable at the moment. Trouble with Scotland, for example, which we

lost, the SNP is left-leaning, that is why Labour has lost its vote,

particularly to them, and the Tory candidate, she sounds like a great

character, and the public loved characters. But she did not mention

the word Conservative. She became a proper opposition to the SNP. What

Jeremy Corbyn has to do in England, he has to get the 13% swing, so he

has to bring a lot of Tories into the tent as well. I would like to

move on. We will stay with the Independent, but move on to the

Baftas. The director of Wolff Paul, who won best drama, saying BBC faces

life as a state broadcaster like North Korea. He came out fighting

for the BBC. He was accorded a standing ovation. He said John

Whittingdale's suggest that you should move popular programmes like

strictly come dancing, it was they were too popular, is absolutely

ludicrous. Peter Kosminsky said, quite rightly, that the BBC would

face life as a straight broadcaster -- state broadcaster like North

Korea. The BBC is the greatest thing this country has ever done after the

NHS, I speak to a lot of foreign journalists and my work, and they

are completely gobsmacked that some papers in this country attack it so

much, it is one of our great glories of democracy. Which other

broadcaster in the world, would have brought about the downfall of its

director-general by interviewing him on one of its own programmes. It is

extraordinary. For some people the BBC has been too commercially

aggressive at times, to the detriment of its competitors, when

it has the advantage and the privileged position of receiving the

licence fee. It is not perfect. I have worked over the years

intermittently at the BBC, I do work for an outfit so I can say what they

like, but it has done plenty of wonderful things. Peter Kosminsky

joined the BBC around the same time I started popping up on BBC

breakfast. Peter is a classic example of somebody who got his

first rake, and he has done so many admired programmes, not all for the

BBC, will fall happens to be. He has a broader view of its place. --

Wolff Hall. He is also no supporter of the labour government. He made

the film, the government, years ago, which was about the way the Labour

Party behaved around Calais and the Hutton enquiry. He is very much a

mutual person, -- neutral person. He needs to be respected even more in

his position. Let's look at the Guardian. Another BBC programme that

won the features award, this time Appetite for Success, a little

mention for the great British break off when, -- take off winner. Did

you ever think you would see that picture in the paper, Mary Berry

always looks superb, and is leading one of the best watched programmes

in the whole country, and the thing that they are missing when they have

a look at the BBC, there is a lot of these programmes, a lot of people

are baking now, they are dancing out, because strictly come dancing

is... It may be spurious to say so, but lots of commentators said that

Nadia Hussein's victory allowed more people to understand, what people

like Nadia and her background were like, then documentaries. She was

presented as a human being, a delightful human being, which is the

great thing that television can do, it can open at up into other worlds

which we could not otherwise enter. We will wait and see. Hands off,

Whittingdale! We have to move on. Quickly, before I get in trouble.

There will be a lot of people who agree with John Whittingdale.

International New York Times,, the Republican Party in two mines about

whether Donald Trump really should be their presidential candidate, as

he is. I am so full of news about the Baftas, I can't find it. It does

not matter what Trump does, the public loved him because he is the

celebrity and he speaks his mind, and they are sick of stereotypical

politicians. That is part of the reason, and the Republican Party

is, in the greatest disarray has ever been in, there is resilient

programme in Scotland, the land of my fathers, there was a horrific, he

took the Scottish government to the cleaners over a golf course that he

set up in an area of natural beauty, an important scientific beauty site,

and he skinned them, and Alex summoned -- Alex Salmond said that

on television. As a liberal person I am delighted he is going to get the

rubber to nomination, because even Republicans will vote Hillary

Clinton. The Republican nomination. Some will. There was a supporter of

John McCain who was the previous Republican candidate who said he

would vote for Clinton. There will be lots of people who we talk about,

the middle ground, who will go to Clinton, and is absolutely at will

not get in. Oh dear. Allegedly. Let's finish there. Thank you so

much, James, thank you. Coming up next it is the film review.
