:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:21.With me are Lucy Fisher, Senior Political Correspondent

:00:22. > :00:25.at the Times, and John Prideaux, US Editor at the Economist.

:00:26. > :00:36.Let's start with the Metro, leading the investigation into the demise of

:00:37. > :00:39.BHS. Today a Government committee heard claims the retailer's owner

:00:40. > :00:45.Dominic Chappel threatened to kill one of the Company's executives.

:00:46. > :00:48.Financial Times also outlined BHS and proportionate Chappel's claims

:00:49. > :00:53.that the former owner prevented a buyout of the feeling retailer. The

:00:54. > :00:58.Guardian features hello Kontinen were making history as the first

:00:59. > :01:04.woman to win the presidential nomination for a major US political

:01:05. > :01:05.party. The express leads an EU referendum and activation from

:01:06. > :01:11.government campaigners that the Government is trying to rig the vote

:01:12. > :01:14.by extending the registration. The Telegraph also leads on the

:01:15. > :01:29.referendum. We will touch on hot a few of those

:01:30. > :01:38.stories. That start with the mental and BHS. Those proceedings in that

:01:39. > :01:40.committee room today, incredible. A threat to kill BHS Bosque is not

:01:41. > :01:45.amazing, this is one part of the amazing, this is one part of the

:01:46. > :01:48.mudslinging going on today. Chief Executive at Darren Clarke said

:01:49. > :01:52.Dominic Chappell rang him up and screamed at him and threatened to

:01:53. > :01:57.come down and kill him. Extraordinary claims. Yes, and

:01:58. > :02:04.lifting the lid to a degree on what goes on at this company. Absolutely

:02:05. > :02:10.bizarre. Yes, some of the language is amazing. And the personal nature

:02:11. > :02:14.of the vendettas. I enjoyed the FT did a follow-up, Colin Dominik to

:02:15. > :02:21.Pelo and ask him if he had a gun and if he had intended to kill the Chief

:02:22. > :02:24.Executive. His quote here is when asked about vaccinations he denied

:02:25. > :02:28.threatening his former colleague and pull differential times I don't have

:02:29. > :02:32.a gun, of course not. Be ridiculous. I thought that was wonderfully

:02:33. > :02:40.po-faced. Let's bring up the picture of FT. It has the three members of

:02:41. > :02:47.BHS, former members, on the front page. Mr Clarke, Mr Chappel and

:02:48. > :02:54.Michael Hitchcock. Former CEO. Lucy, we can have a laugh and frankly, it

:02:55. > :02:58.is probably unlikely Mr Chappel really intended to take the brunt of

:02:59. > :03:04.this man's head, but 11,000 jobs on the line and there is no question

:03:05. > :03:09.that it has been clock of Alcorcon clock up in the way that this

:03:10. > :03:12.company has been run. Absolutely, you have done it to Pelo admitting

:03:13. > :03:16.we knew nothing about retailing come as a former racing driver,

:03:17. > :03:19.three-time bankrupt, huge questions three-time bankrupt, huge questions

:03:20. > :03:26.take on a major concern like BHS and take on a major concern like BHS and

:03:27. > :03:30.you are right. Above and beyond this hyperbolic language, 11,000 people

:03:31. > :03:35.stand to lose their jobs. ?500 billion pension fund deficit and

:03:36. > :03:42.there are huge problems and great sadness for many people racing

:03:43. > :03:45.redundancy over this crisis. Yes, Sir Philip Green will appear next

:03:46. > :03:51.week. That'll be fun to that will be colourful. The other sessions have

:03:52. > :03:56.been interesting already. You are right, companies go bankrupt all the

:03:57. > :03:58.time and new Company start-up, people lose their jobs, which is

:03:59. > :04:03.terrible and companies create new jobs. Thing is as different here is

:04:04. > :04:10.That is a real to do -- a real taboo That is a real to do -- a real taboo

:04:11. > :04:14.and accommodation of that with the extraordinaire amounts of money the

:04:15. > :04:18.owners took out of the company before it went bankrupt is pretty

:04:19. > :04:24.toxic and shameful. Indeed. Quite a few people will be watching that

:04:25. > :04:28.committee next week. The Daily Express, outrage and a bid to read

:04:29. > :04:31.the EU vote. We know the computers crashed about this time last night.

:04:32. > :04:38.When people tried to register to vote in the EU referendum. Thousands

:04:39. > :04:41.of people were left unable to do so. As a result they've extended the

:04:42. > :04:47.deadline but some people smell a rat? This is the claim from Fort,

:04:48. > :04:53.that this is a conspiracy theory by some of the more stream fringes --

:04:54. > :04:57.from a vote Leave. The computer system was crashed on purpose to

:04:58. > :04:58.allow the Government to extend the deadline because they believe it is

:04:59. > :05:03.young people have left it late and young people have left it late and

:05:04. > :05:07.young people are more likely to vote Remain. It is a pointer very tough

:05:08. > :05:10.for government campaigners to make that if the Government is so

:05:11. > :05:15.concerned that people might have been prevented from signing up in

:05:16. > :05:20.the last hour before the deadline, it really should be taking the same

:05:21. > :05:25.rigorous approach towards sorting out the problem with Miss registered

:05:26. > :05:28.EU nationals there have been Polish residents to eating pictures of

:05:29. > :05:32.their polling cards that this shouldn't have. Some even have

:05:33. > :05:36.postal ballots. There is a disparity with which the Government is

:05:37. > :05:42.treating both sides. So we know there is a bit of a whiff of

:05:43. > :05:46.something going on? I think if they are going to sort out the voter

:05:47. > :05:48.registration problem is most evenhanded, they must make sure the

:05:49. > :05:53.right people who want to vote cancelled and The People who

:05:54. > :05:58.shouldn't must make sure they are taken off the electoral roll. It is

:05:59. > :06:04.highly likely that a lot of those people who registered last night

:06:05. > :06:08.will probably be young and those people who might decide it makes

:06:09. > :06:12.sense to Remain. That is right. That said, I think the idea it was a

:06:13. > :06:18.giant conspiracy is a microcosm of one of the arguments that the Vote

:06:19. > :06:24.Leave campaign has made. On some of the wilder fringes of that argument,

:06:25. > :06:28.the entire EU is a conspiracy by elites, Oliver forecasts that have

:06:29. > :06:31.come from organisations like the IMF are part of the same conspiracy.

:06:32. > :06:35.There is something paranoid in there but I agree with Lucy, it is

:06:36. > :06:40.important to be evenhanded. Going on the eye. Interesting front page.

:06:41. > :06:47.Brexit there will be blood, bold Yuvraj over Hitler -- Bodell right

:06:48. > :06:51.over Hitler, vote Brexit and helped Isis. Some of the scarier headlines

:06:52. > :06:57.we seen a domain message, less hysteria, more facts. Laudable

:06:58. > :07:02.comment, but clearly whatever information is out there, one side

:07:03. > :07:07.the other. It is as simple as that. the other. It is as simple as that.

:07:08. > :07:11.I don't know. Perhaps a controversial view on this, that

:07:12. > :07:18.there is a perforation of fax, organisations like the fact and UK

:07:19. > :07:24.and the changing EU. There is the BBC! Go to our website! People are

:07:25. > :07:29.still saying we cannot get facts. That is it. I think people need to

:07:30. > :07:32.take responsibility. The problem is there is not a clear answer, people

:07:33. > :07:36.have to engage their critical faculties and come to a conclusion.

:07:37. > :07:40.My sense is the public are crying out to be told the right answer.

:07:41. > :07:44.Exactly. People want to be led down a path. They don't want to make up

:07:45. > :07:52.their mind about this on their own. That is right. Thus would be an IQ

:07:53. > :07:56.for no elections ever. Lots of people wonder why this referendum is

:07:57. > :08:00.taking place in the first place? I would say there are lots of facts

:08:01. > :08:05.and you can look at them and make up your mind. That said, this is also a

:08:06. > :08:11.call on what you think will be best for the country in ten or 20 years.

:08:12. > :08:13.It comes down to a worldview, do you think the country is better off in a

:08:14. > :08:19.tight alliance with other neighbours or if you think it is better off on

:08:20. > :08:23.its own. That is a hard thing to boil down to facts. It is not

:08:24. > :08:30.conclusion you can get a clear answer on the absolutely. But both

:08:31. > :08:35.sides are exploiting that vacuum in certainty. Yes. Absolutely. The

:08:36. > :08:41.headlines we have here, Boris saying the EU's calls with the same as

:08:42. > :08:45.Hitler's, a premise are saying Isis would back Brexit, you should vote

:08:46. > :08:51.Remain. It is ridiculous. I saw George Osborne told Andrew Neil

:08:52. > :08:54.Brexit is like a snake. All of this vivid language has gone over the top

:08:55. > :09:00.and some of the arguments being made are outlandish. We will speak about

:09:01. > :09:05.The Telegraph in a moment. It's front-page lead concerns one of

:09:06. > :09:09.seven suspending his partnership in protest over the wake of the

:09:10. > :09:13.referendum is being held at handled but before that, another Tory MP,

:09:14. > :09:18.Sarah Walton, has revealed she has defected from Vote Leave and will

:09:19. > :09:23.vote to keep Britain in the EU. She says Vote Leave's claim ?350 million

:09:24. > :09:29.could be saved to spend on the NHS is not true and that has contributed

:09:30. > :09:33.to her decision to switch sides. For someone like me who has long

:09:34. > :09:38.in public life, I could not have in public life, I could not have

:09:39. > :09:43.stepped foot on a battle bus that has at the heart of its campaign a

:09:44. > :09:47.figure that I know to be untrue. And I think they know to be untrue as

:09:48. > :09:50.well. If you are in a position where you cannot hand out the Vote Leave

:09:51. > :09:58.leaflet, cannot be campaigning for that organisation. OK, Sarah

:09:59. > :10:04.Woollaston going from Brexit to Remain full to the front page of the

:10:05. > :10:09.delicate dial -- Telica at John Knox, Margaret Thatcher's former

:10:10. > :10:14.Defence Secretary during the Falklands War. He has decided to rip

:10:15. > :10:18.up his membership card for the Conservative Party. He says he is

:10:19. > :10:24.disgusted by the way that David Cameron and George Osborne had been

:10:25. > :10:28.running this campaign. Yes, Margaret Thatcher's Defence Secretary during

:10:29. > :10:32.never ship cards saying the debate never ship cards saying the debate

:10:33. > :10:36.has become so poisonous -- his membership card. And putting that

:10:37. > :10:40.with the premise Janet George Osborne is otherwise he only blaming

:10:41. > :10:47.that side? I think in a sense this is crystallising worldviews as you

:10:48. > :10:52.said. If you feel very strongly pro-Brexit or a bit that data is

:10:53. > :10:58.being misused and arguments getting too over the top, people are getting

:10:59. > :11:04.fed up on one or other side. I suppose it is partly that Mr Cameron

:11:05. > :11:07.has not taken the attack that -- the TAK that Harold Wilson did when he

:11:08. > :11:11.stood away from the fray. David Cameron has been swinging punches.

:11:12. > :11:15.Lots of people argued he should have stayed back and apart from anything

:11:16. > :11:18.else that will make it harder him to sit around the Cabinet table with

:11:19. > :11:21.all the colleagues once it is over a given they have been shouting at

:11:22. > :11:24.each other the way they have. I think it is interesting. I've

:11:25. > :11:28.noticed from speaking to friends that whatever size you were on using

:11:29. > :11:34.the other side is manipulative facts and being outrageous and making

:11:35. > :11:39.ridiculous assertions about history. A lot of this is in the eye of the

:11:40. > :11:44.border. OK, on to The Guardian. Here is Hillary. Looking very happy on

:11:45. > :11:50.the front page of The Guardian. She is the first woman to win the

:11:51. > :11:54.backing of a major part in the US for the White House. This is

:11:55. > :11:59.history. Yes, yet strangely it doesn't feel that much like history.

:12:00. > :12:04.I think the big ceiling that was shattered was in 2008 when Barack

:12:05. > :12:06.Obama became president, the first African-American president Hillary

:12:07. > :12:09.Clinton did not get the nation that time around. I have been struck by

:12:10. > :12:14.how little soap by the campaign has been about, hey, it's a woman. That

:12:15. > :12:19.is a sign of progress because of that with the one thing people were

:12:20. > :12:23.fixated on, they're perhaps would not be much to her candidacy. I

:12:24. > :12:28.suppose the fact she is a woman is going to become much more central to

:12:29. > :12:30.the debate now because she is dealing with a man who was a bully

:12:31. > :12:37.and has been incredibly disparaging and has been incredibly disparaging

:12:38. > :12:41.in public to women and is seen as a sad misogynist by some. Yes,

:12:42. > :12:44.absolutely. This will come to the forefront, not least because Hillary

:12:45. > :12:49.is a complex character that had this long history in the public eye as a

:12:50. > :12:55.senator a first Lady. We seen her as a wife and politician and that is

:12:56. > :12:58.interesting dynamic and it will be great to see how that plays out.

:12:59. > :13:02.Briefly, Bernie still in the race. Why isn't he dropping at? I don't

:13:03. > :13:05.know, the reason he is still there is he wants to have some influence

:13:06. > :13:09.of the convention in Philadelphia and in July he thinks he has more by

:13:10. > :13:13.staying in. I think that is doubtful. He has lost and is under a

:13:14. > :13:18.lot of pressure from Democrats. He only very recently became a Democrat

:13:19. > :13:23.to contest this is a registered Independent for years. Of Democrats

:13:24. > :13:28.are angry about him continuing to go on and think he should get out. He

:13:29. > :13:32.is doing .com's work for him. He is apparently chatting with Obama

:13:33. > :13:36.tomorrow, maybe the president will have the thing to say. Finally,

:13:37. > :13:42.Lucy, there is a fault in this dishwasher in the middle of the

:13:43. > :13:46.Daily Mail. Why is that? This is a sweet picture of a fox, a rare good

:13:47. > :13:50.news story. We are more used to hearing Fox's creeping into homes

:13:51. > :13:55.and turning out rubbish or attacking young children. This is a sweet and

:13:56. > :13:59.fluffy looking picture of a fox that has crept into the pits need into

:14:00. > :14:09.the house and decided it would have a sleep between the dishes and

:14:10. > :14:13.glasses. It is Fox News, fantastic. That was dreadful. One of the things

:14:14. > :14:16.this made me think is that the internet not only is it playing

:14:17. > :14:22.havoc with the business models of newspapers, it is taking over with

:14:23. > :14:27.the news agenda. It is an internet meme and amazing what has happened.

:14:28. > :14:32.We are speaking about it here on the venerable BBC. There you go. It has

:14:33. > :14:35.been great having you in. Many thanks. Is it for the paper tonight

:14:36. > :14:39.but before we go, these front pages have come in while we've been on

:14:40. > :14:47.air. The Times says Vote Leave has been boosted by the support of the

:14:48. > :14:50.chair of JCB, Lord Bradford. Tory MP Sarah Woollaston switches sides to

:14:51. > :14:54.join the Remain campaign and on the referendum, The Sun features were

:14:55. > :14:57.the audience members from the ITV TV debate this week, accusing the Prime

:14:58. > :15:04.Minister of 11 so much uncontrolled immigration that part of his

:15:05. > :15:12.hometown are now no-go areas. All the front pages online you can read

:15:13. > :15:16.a detailed review. And you can see us there too with each night's

:15:17. > :15:20.edition of the papers being posted shortly after we finish. Thank you.

:15:21. > :15:35.Thank you a lot in. Goodbye. Good evening. Once again today the

:15:36. > :15:38.heat and humidity triggered some more thundery downpours. The

:15:39. > :15:39.temperature about
