:00:18. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing

:00:25. > :00:28.us tomorrow. With me as broadcaster Rachel Shabi and the editor of the

:00:29. > :00:36.Spectator, Toby Young. Good evening to both of you. Let us get straight

:00:37. > :00:39.on to this. Most papers are still talking about the terrible events in

:00:40. > :00:46.Orlando but now we have the politicians weighing in, Hillary

:00:47. > :00:51.Clinton and Donald Trump. Yes, and as we may expect a have

:00:52. > :00:59.quite different styles in responding to this terrible attack in which 49

:01:00. > :01:02.people were killed. You would expect at this time, obviously people are

:01:03. > :01:10.still mourning and are still in shock and traumatised so you would

:01:11. > :01:18.expect something quite unifying, calls for solidarity and cohesion.

:01:19. > :01:25.You got the exact opposite with Trump who was quick to point fingers

:01:26. > :01:30.not just that Islam but both Clinton and President Obama for what he says

:01:31. > :01:37.was not taking the issue seriously. This amazing quote here where he

:01:38. > :01:43.says, we're being led by a man who is either not smart or not tough or

:01:44. > :01:47.has something else going on. This is inconceivable. This is even by his

:01:48. > :01:53.standards inflammatory. It is. It is awful. I don't think

:01:54. > :02:00.he's the only candidate politicising this. Clinton said that she would

:02:01. > :02:08.work to defeat Islamic extremism and call for tough on -- tougher gun

:02:09. > :02:13.control. She has said some consolatory things and good things

:02:14. > :02:18.but she is not innocent of politicising this either.

:02:19. > :02:23.I think there would have been at least a decent pause before battle

:02:24. > :02:29.resumed between the politicians if it happened in this country.

:02:30. > :02:38.You hope so but who knows. We don't have much time tonight so

:02:39. > :02:55.let us move on. This is the heart of Soho that came to a standstill.

:02:56. > :02:59.There was a terrorist attack in this area a few years ago against gay

:03:00. > :03:05.people when annual bomb was let off. Terrific to see so many people. It

:03:06. > :03:08.was not just in London. There were events in Palace and Sydney and

:03:09. > :03:15.elsewhere. Extraordinary. We were broadcasting

:03:16. > :03:23.the silence from the middle of London. Quite extraordinary.

:03:24. > :03:38.You could not not be moved by these scenes. In Soho, the heart of the

:03:39. > :03:47.LGBT community in the UK and across the world scenes of solidarity and

:03:48. > :03:53.support. It is hard not to be moved. They are such a powerful counter to

:03:54. > :04:03.the hate that we saw in Orlando. What do you make of the emotional

:04:04. > :04:07.out pouring? Sometimes people get criticised for it not being

:04:08. > :04:13.something directly to do with them but this has gone worldwide.

:04:14. > :04:15.I do not think you can criticise people for being emotional about

:04:16. > :04:20.this. People can imagine being trapped in this nightclub with

:04:21. > :04:25.someone with an automatic weapon just indiscriminately murdering

:04:26. > :04:32.people. And it is solidarity with a

:04:33. > :04:37.homophobic hate crime and that is what all this solidarity is about.

:04:38. > :04:44.It is in support of a community that has been targeted just for being a

:04:45. > :04:50.particular community. Let us hope that nothing similar

:04:51. > :04:58.takes place, no copycat things. Back to the referendum, you cannot avoid

:04:59. > :05:07.it. I think you have got to Leeds the stories very carefully to see

:05:08. > :05:11.which all we are talking about. What the question has been, I do not

:05:12. > :05:17.know. But in terms of do you want to leave or do you want to remain, it

:05:18. > :05:28.shows that the Leave campaign has taken a lead, according to this

:05:29. > :05:35.poll. It has become a 1-point gap for the levers. It seems this was

:05:36. > :05:37.the electorate as a whole and not just people who were intending to

:05:38. > :05:43.vote. But you do have to read it

:05:44. > :05:51.carefully. The headline is that amongst those certain to Vote Leave

:05:52. > :05:57.has taken a 1-point lead but amongst the entire electrode lead is five

:05:58. > :06:03.points behind remain. Admittedly, Leave his catching up and Remain is

:06:04. > :06:12.falling behind but it is slightly misleading.

:06:13. > :06:15.And the Daily Telegraph standard-bearer for the Leave

:06:16. > :06:21.campaign have to look at it and do that prison.

:06:22. > :06:31.But it is being corroborated by one or two others tonight.

:06:32. > :06:38.Look at the Sun newspaper tonight. They do like to think the influence

:06:39. > :06:46.things. Whether newspapers do or not I'm not so sure that they are

:06:47. > :06:53.nailing their colours to the mast. I don't think it is surprising that

:06:54. > :07:00.they have come out as they have been pity pro leave. I don't think you

:07:01. > :07:09.can dispute that it is good for democracy that the newspapers are

:07:10. > :07:16.roughly evenly split this time. Back in 1975 the sun was pro-remain apart

:07:17. > :07:26.from every other major national newspaper.

:07:27. > :07:44.That is not my impression. Of course nobody is surprised by The Sun

:07:45. > :08:00.backing Leave. But it does skew things. The front pages of The Sun

:08:01. > :08:09.-- of newspapers of the last few months has had a stream of panic

:08:10. > :08:14.stories. If the proprietors were different and the headlines were

:08:15. > :08:22.different what would that no look like? I don't know if it is great

:08:23. > :08:27.for democracy when we have right wing privately owned newspapers as a

:08:28. > :08:38.norm. There are left-wing newspapers such

:08:39. > :08:42.as the Guardian and the Observer campaigning for remain.

:08:43. > :08:52.They are the one. How do you have the Daily Mail being

:08:53. > :09:02.pro leave and the Mail on Sunday being pro-remain?

:09:03. > :09:06.Conspiracy is not the word I used. The other subject we cannot get away

:09:07. > :09:20.from is the third ball. Where do we start? These rather frightful

:09:21. > :09:31.looking gentleman are from Russia. They do not look that Savary. This

:09:32. > :09:43.is a thing that is emerging, that there were 150 hard-core Russian

:09:44. > :09:55.thugs that were well and were planning this. This is one of the

:09:56. > :10:04.reasons why it needed difficult to catch them.

:10:05. > :10:11.This is a frightening prospect. I was upset about the coverage that

:10:12. > :10:14.these episodes got on Saturday night with seemingly the England fans

:10:15. > :10:20.being cast as the villain is because of their poor reputation but the

:10:21. > :10:27.more you read about what happened on the ground, it is clear that for the

:10:28. > :10:32.most part innocent England fans were attacked by groups of well-organised

:10:33. > :10:42.Ushant bugs wearing mixed martial arts gloves, ready to fight. This is

:10:43. > :10:50.the point that great date that -- Greg Dyke has made today.

:10:51. > :10:55.Football does not exist in a vacuum. We have seen a rise of the far right

:10:56. > :11:00.across Europe. Of course that is going to leak into football.

:11:01. > :11:06.I don't think that is true of England.

:11:07. > :11:11.I think England has some responsibility here and it is not

:11:12. > :11:16.entirely blameless. Thank you both very much. I am

:11:17. > :11:24.afraid that is in it. Don't forget, all the front pages are online on

:11:25. > :11:33.the BBC News website we can read a detailed review of the papers seven

:11:34. > :11:40.days a week. And you can see a spear again, what it alight. -- what a

:11:41. > :11:42.delight. Goodbye.
