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

:00:16.:00:18.

With me are Caroline Wheeler, political editor of the Sunday

:00:19.:00:21.

Express and Martin Bentham, home affairs editor

:00:22.:00:23.

Tomorrow's front pages are starting to come in.

:00:24.:00:48.

The Mail on Sunday leaves on the court appearance of the man charged

:00:49.:00:53.

with the murder of Labour MPs Jo Cox. That story also leaves

:00:54.:00:59.

tomorrow's Sunday express. The Sunday Telegraph shows a picture of

:01:00.:01:04.

the late MP 's parents visiting a sea of flowers close to where their

:01:05.:01:10.

daughter was killed. The Observer leads on the EU referendum. The

:01:11.:01:17.

Sunday Times shows a picture of British astronaut Tim Peake who has

:01:18.:01:22.

returned to Earth after six months in space. The independent says

:01:23.:01:29.

weapons and explosives stored at a safe house in Belgium with the

:01:30.:01:33.

intention of being used by terrorists during Euro 2016 are yet

:01:34.:01:38.

to be found. That's plunged straight in with the Telegraph. That very

:01:39.:01:44.

moving picture, I can't imagine anyone wasn't moved by the dignity

:01:45.:01:49.

with which Jo Cox's family presented themselves in Birstall today to

:01:50.:01:54.

admire the tributes left to their daughter and also to say a very warm

:01:55.:01:58.

thank you to people for all the support they have received and this

:01:59.:02:02.

extraordinary outpouring of grief over the last couple of days. I

:02:03.:02:07.

don't think anyone can imagine any thing worse happening to your

:02:08.:02:10.

daughter or son. The young thinkable has happened. This family have shown

:02:11.:02:16.

it enormous strength in the face of just the most utterly appalling

:02:17.:02:22.

crime. Her sister led the tributes today as they laid flowers at the

:02:23.:02:30.

spot where she was murdered on Thursday and it is the word that she

:02:31.:02:34.

uses, she talks about being so grateful for the outpouring of

:02:35.:02:38.

support for the family and they have drawn such enormous strength from

:02:39.:02:42.

this. The siblings and the parents who were out of about today, her

:02:43.:02:47.

husband Brendan was back at home with those poor children and I think

:02:48.:02:51.

it is another example of the kind of family that they are where the

:02:52.:02:56.

children are really at the centre of it. Your heart absolutely goes out

:02:57.:03:00.

to them. It is just an unimaginable thing. I hear the art pouring has

:03:01.:03:06.

been so much that the Talmud out of flowers yesterday. They had a

:03:07.:03:11.

restock and they ran out again. This is the kind of emotion that is

:03:12.:03:16.

around this. The impression that is left as a result of the last couple

:03:17.:03:21.

of days is that Birstall is a strong community and that that community is

:03:22.:03:24.

pouring its heart into supporting the family. I think the whole

:03:25.:03:31.

country, actually. It is just such a horrible thing that has happened and

:03:32.:03:35.

as you say, the sister's was today were absolutely beautiful. They were

:03:36.:03:40.

saying that good should conquer evil, they want to be positive, even

:03:41.:03:44.

in the light of something so horrendous as this, fabulously

:03:45.:03:51.

brave. And she was unequivocally brave and positive person. It is an

:03:52.:03:57.

incredible message, really. Yes, and quite a tribute to her. One of the

:03:58.:04:03.

effects of her death was the suspension of campaigning in the EU

:04:04.:04:08.

referendum. Inevitably, it's begins again tomorrow morning, and it

:04:09.:04:12.

begins in the papers with Michael Gove, Martin, trying to project a

:04:13.:04:17.

very positive message for the league campaign which you might say a lot

:04:18.:04:21.

of the campaigning on both side has been quite negative but he is saying

:04:22.:04:25.

this would be a positive vote for written. I think that has always

:04:26.:04:32.

been a flavour of it. You can have argue the immigration is a -1. But

:04:33.:04:40.

at the same time there has been this strong argument about taking back

:04:41.:04:43.

sovereignty, that is a strong card, and they try to counter the

:04:44.:04:46.

arguments that have been thrown at them by the Remain side that we will

:04:47.:04:50.

have some kind of economic setback and Michael Gove is saying,

:04:51.:04:55.

actually, no, we will be freed from the shackles of the EU, as he sees

:04:56.:04:59.

it, and that we can be a success. Going back to the Boris Johnson

:05:00.:05:05.

Michael Gove argument of free trading world world outlook and that

:05:06.:05:13.

is their message. It is a potentially difficult territory for

:05:14.:05:15.

them because perhaps the strongest weapon for the remaining camp is the

:05:16.:05:21.

economy and their warnings. However exaggerated some of them are, it is

:05:22.:05:24.

still a powerful message and one that is perhaps difficult... The

:05:25.:05:32.

campaign is going in a slightly cool -- different direction. It has been

:05:33.:05:36.

widely accepted that the Brexit campaigners haven't succeeded in

:05:37.:05:41.

making their immigration argument... This exception -- perception that

:05:42.:05:47.

the economy is weak. I spoke to Mr Gove today and one of the things he

:05:48.:05:51.

wanted to save was that a vote to leave the European Union was a vote

:05:52.:05:56.

of confidence in Britain so are marked change of tone and style. No

:05:57.:06:02.

turning back, warns Cameron. A couple of things I thought were

:06:03.:06:06.

interesting. One, the very straightforward message, this is it,

:06:07.:06:11.

you won't get a second chance. But also, this line, if you are not

:06:12.:06:15.

sure, in other words, if you are one of the don't knows, don't risk it.

:06:16.:06:20.

Is it now down to the don't knows when you look at the polls? I think

:06:21.:06:26.

it has been for some time. Quite possibly. Because of the polls are

:06:27.:06:33.

correct, we don't know if they are, but are the way, they are still

:06:34.:06:41.

close and therefore, there was about 10% of people showing undecided. If

:06:42.:06:46.

it is 1% either way in all the polls, then that is a critical

:06:47.:06:52.

thing. It is interesting that his message is still a little bit

:06:53.:06:55.

negative. Also, we talk about this more sober and sombre less critical

:06:56.:07:01.

tone, but we still have this broadside against Boris and goes,

:07:02.:07:06.

basically comparing them to irresponsible parents who put their

:07:07.:07:10.

children's lives in danger in the car. So it is back a little bit

:07:11.:07:17.

business as usual here. Just on the front of the Observer, to pick up on

:07:18.:07:21.

what you were saying, Martin, to use that hackneyed old phrase, it is too

:07:22.:07:27.

close to call. That Observer poll suggests it really is too close to

:07:28.:07:33.

call. 44% on either side and 10% undecided. The interesting detail of

:07:34.:07:44.

this, it suggests the polls suggest that among the undecided, more are

:07:45.:07:51.

inclined to vote Remain than Leave. It that what people have talked

:07:52.:07:58.

about, maybe that people that are shy Remainers. I think it is if you

:07:59.:08:04.

are courses, the fact that you are a Brexit vote, it is a very bold vote,

:08:05.:08:11.

it is an optimistic vote because it is saying we believe this country

:08:12.:08:15.

can succeed on its own, it doesn't have to be part of a bigger

:08:16.:08:18.

organisation but at the same time, by definition, it is more of a

:08:19.:08:23.

gamble. So, obviously, you've got to be bold, brave and so on to take

:08:24.:08:34.

that way. So if you are undecided, it then you are probally going to go

:08:35.:08:39.

with Remain. Yes, you are more likely to be more risk averse. And

:08:40.:08:43.

then these arguments cut coming in about the economy, how am I going to

:08:44.:08:49.

afford the mortgage? Will there be a massive spirited drive? Those are

:08:50.:08:52.

all the things that will come into play. As I'm sure you both

:08:53.:08:58.

remembered, it is Father's Day tomorrow. The Sunday express, a

:08:59.:09:04.

father who is also a son, of course, and a grandson, talking about the

:09:05.:09:10.

pressures on modern day dads. Yes, this is a bit of a coup for the

:09:11.:09:15.

paper. We've got Prince William writing exclusively for us. We are

:09:16.:09:19.

keen for him to do it because we have a mental health campaign.

:09:20.:09:28.

William has set himself as a bit of a campaign around male suicide. But

:09:29.:09:33.

he is using this as an opportunity to said that on Father's Day, take a

:09:34.:09:39.

moment out of your time, out of your day, to talk to your sons,

:09:40.:09:44.

daughters, and ask them, how are they doing? How are they finding

:09:45.:09:49.

fatherhood? It is all about breaking the taboo and treating mental health

:09:50.:09:53.

in the same vein as physical health. It is a serious issue, isn't it? I

:09:54.:09:58.

was slightly horrified when I thought I was going to be asked

:09:59.:10:03.

about my feelings tomorrow! We would ask you tonight. We'll leave it

:10:04.:10:07.

there but Tim Peake is back on Earth, I don't know if he is a dad

:10:08.:10:14.

but if he is, happy Father's Day. Where back at 11:30pm with more on

:10:15.:10:21.

the papers. Now, let's take a look at what has been happening with

:10:22.:10:22.

reporters.
