17/07/2016 The Papers

me recently, because I'm sure it will be in the back of their minds,

as well. That is all the sport. Hello and welcome to our Sunday

morning edition of The Papers. With me are columnist and author

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown A dramatic picture on the front

of the Sunday Times - Turkey anti-coup protesters

seize control of a tank - as the government there

reasserts its authority. An image of dozens of

soldiers surrendering is on the front of the Telegraph -

the paper reports almost 3,000 troops have been arrested in a drive

for revenge by President Erdogan. The Observer calls

it a "brutal purge" It reports around 2,700

judges have been dismissed warning from the new so-called

"Brexit secretary" David Davis - that new EU migrants could be sent

home to avoid an immigration surge. The new Foreign Secretary

Boris Johnson is the lead for the Sunday Express -

"we're ready to go global", is the headline - as he says Britain

has the opportunity to be more active on the world

stage than ever before. And the Mirror leads

with the Nice attack - it has a picture of the alleged

killer of the 84 people who died - and reports that he told

family he was happy, Turks crushed coup, that you Matic

on the front of the Sunday Times. And the Sunday Telegraph, revenge on

the plotters, 2700 judges facing arrest. Such a terrible thing. --

Turks crushed coup on the front page of the Sunday Times. A part of me

really wanted it work. I think current regime is appalling. More

journalists are imprisoned in Turkey than in any other nation on earth.

Behind-the-scenes this man is a megalomaniac and about as ruthless

as Gaddafi. But he does it under the veneer of his particular brand of

democracy. You must never wish for a coup because of what happened in

Egypt. And part of me is so ashamed of being Muslim at the moment. There

is not a single Muslim nation now on our planet, Turkey was the one big

hope, and what is going to happen now is it will show the true

colours. Awful situation. One could say, Turkey, economically, had this

incredible boom at the start of President Ida Gann's rain. He

stabilised things and made it clear that the army was out of politics,

which it appears to be. -- president Erdogan. But there is this crackdown

on Civil Liberties, journalists being arrested. The irony is what is

happening after this coup is he will be more anti-democratic. Arresting

soldiers. Arresting journalists. Extraordinary. I am afraid this

coup, which looked amateurish to me, what were they trying to do? It was

bizarre! They didn't have all of the army behind them, what was the game?

This amateurish coup has become counter-productive and made it a lot

worse. My reaction, when I started to hear about this, it was Friday

night, wasn't it? I was dismayed. As much as I dislike Erdogan. I just

thought, please, no more stability in this region, when you store have

the Syrian civil War completely resolved. The Hauritz there. And

still the horrors of the refugee crisis. Completely unresolved. --

the Syrian war completely unresolved. As far as the European

Union is concerned, that is a very big concern. And I am sure later,

the US. All of them didn't want this to happen. But I have to kind of say

that Turkey, like the UK, like the US, is one of those nations

absolutely divided. Absolutely, between the secularists and those

who follow the Islamic politics of that nation. This is what is

happening in the world at the moment. Nations which found a way of

kind of holding it together, you are finding these deep ravine is opening

up. France, as well, which we might get onto. -- ravines. A Turkish

friend of mine said to media 's ago the army in Turkey is a bit like

your father coming in when you make a mistake and tries to put things

right, and you never grow up if that keeps happening. -- said to me a

while ago. I think the trouble was, it didn't seem to be all of the

Armed Forces, it just seemed that some of them stayed loyal to the

president. What hope is there of any change? Look at what the Army has

done in Egypt, for example. When the elections happen in Turkey,

increasingly the state uses every means necessary to ensure that it is

victorious. A nasty person, but perhaps the least worst option for

Turkey, who knows? Let's go to another coup. The labour Civil War

in the Observer. They talk about Aaron Smith running. It is amazing

how money unity candidates you can get while the party is so divided.

-- Owan Smith. And we have a similar story in The Mail on Sunday. Page

13. Is it the Kinnock and Paddy party? They are suggesting a

realignment of the centre-left. Plotting breakaway if Jeremy Corbyn

clings onto power, these 150 Labour MPs. A picture of Kinnock here, and

Paddy Ashdown on the right. What do you make of this? It is ironic that

the two unity candidates are falling out. In other words, Smith, who was

launching today, he was going to do it on Friday but then there was the

niece tragedy. Against Angela Eagle. According to one of the people in

Smith's camp, they just want candidate to stand up against Jeremy

Corbyn. -- Nice tragedy. But it turns to this idea of having a

breakaway party, if Corbin stays as the leader of the Labour Party I

think it will split the party. -- Jeremy Corbyn. But as John Mills

says, and he is one of the Labour Party donors, splitting the party

would be a disaster under first past the post because it would make it

even harder for them to win. So if they do go along with the Kinnock

and Paddy party it would be more unlikely they will stay out of

power. Are they a split party? They are. People look back at the SDP and

talk it down. But there is no other party that those people who are on

the centre, who worked for Remain, who have shared views, and Paddy

Ashdown is not Labour, let's remember, but there are many Tories

who feel disgruntled. Maybe it is time. Maybe for ten years it will

get nowhere. But, certainly, we have no proper centre party in this

country. You have never been a friend of the Conservative Party

exactly, but do you think they settle their scores much better and

in the country's interests much better than other parties? They move

on. It was pretty ropey for some time. Remember when we had the

dramas. I was thinking about this week. This week they sorted it. I'm

glad they did for the national Grid. I think the Conservative Party has

come together. -- national good. The cabinet is miraculous. I don't know,

there are some angry people. Iain Duncan Smith. His face looks like it

is going to burst. The party has come together to refit two. Theresa

May's cabinet I think is masterful in its balancing of the Brexit

candidates. -- has come together fantastically. Amber Rudd and the

various others, as well, are in there. A sensible way to move ahead.

I think it has been masterful. I don't think with Boris Johnson and

Liam Fox back in it would be called masterful, but you are right, they

come together. They come together. Minister for Brexit. One of them

David Davis. We will send EU migrants -- we will send EU migrant

surge. People hoping to get the right to remain in some kind of

surge... I don't think he said it like this. The newspapers are...

Writing it up? Writing it up. In some ways he sounded quite

considerate -- quite consolatory. We have many of our citizens living in

Europe. They want to know if there will be this enormous exchange of

people. We have seen it in previous point in history. He is saying that

won't happen. And he mildly said if there was a surge of entry into the

UK then they will have to have a look at the new arrivals. But they

cannot stop it. We are still in the EU, remember, we are in until... As

an economist, the pull factor is if the economy is doing well, if there

is uncertainty about the economy, people are less likely to come.

That's right. I think these are warning shots. Perhaps migration, if

the economy is going to start falling apart, as all of these

dreadful campaigners said so before the referendum, we won't be having

them. I was a Brexiter con and I thought people would still come in,

and that will be good. -- I was a Brexiter, and I thought. I voted for

independence and democracy. Democracy, my dear. We have two

undemocratic institutions in this country. Who are they? The Royal

family is one. We are on the way. We are not, we are not, we are not.

Perhaps we are on our way to a republic. Perhaps she did not say

that. This is the Telegraph. Brexit trade deals with the US and

Australia. To be fair, there not any, actually, with the US and

Australia. This is about how we might have them. This is the

optimistic case people for Brexit. This was one of the reasons for

leaving the EU. When Barack Obama came here he said we would be at the

back of the Cuba trade deals. The laughable thing was at that time

they were only negotiating one trade deal. -- back of the queue for trade

deals. Now we will be back at the front. Australia, they have said,

come on, let's have a trade deal. And the Canadian Trade Minister

said, there is no use going through the EU, we could just continue with

the UK. That would be all right and we could take benefit of that. This

is excellent news and exactly what we want to see. And it is in Liam

Fox's territory because he is the international trade Secretary. It is

fantasy at the moment. It isn't. It is going to happen. Will we be at

the front of the queue with the US? Yes. ?10, I put it on the table.

Fine. That is a double bet. It is already happening. Well, if I lose,

I don't care. Nothing about Donald Trump's choice of Vice President in

any of the papers. Express says, we will send the EU surge back. We have

done that one. What is next? We are going global. Yes, we are ready to

go global, which is pretty much the same kind of story. It is a bit. The

Sunday Mirror has got this... This story, everything is normal, the

last words of the Bastille killer. He has had psychological treatment

for years. Then this attack, it has been claimed by IS, and yet this

person seems to be in a very disturbed way, a very odd

individual. Yes. We have lots of things happening. Some properly

organised. Isis inspired, or inspired by other terror group

attacks. Then you have these lone wolves who are obviously having lots

of psychodramas in their heads. They are kind of reaching out to these

calls that are periodically made by Isis and so one. He never went a

mosque. He was not part of any network as far as we know. -- went

to mosque. The same with the Orlando chap. There was a lot going on in

his head. That was the attack on the nightclub. Then we have this

call-out, doing this spectacular thing. I think we should be looking

at both. The planning and also the psychological profiles of some of

these men. That is the difficult bit, isn't it? Very few people are

involved in the terrorist networks. But there are many people who, for

various reasons, have mental health problems, but very few do something

like this. The problem is you cannot legislate against this type of

personality. The French state will have to be mortgage and about

various problems. He was driving this big van. He took it into this

territory and then drove it off. You have to question why it was allowed

to do that under the circumstances. It was interesting that Francois

Hollande was about to lift the state of emergency which had been imposed

after the shooting at the Bataclan. He will have to reimpose it. This is

another horror story for France which tells them they are a long way

from resolving these problems with terrorism in the country. It is a

serious problem. I see more similarities between this guy and

the guy in Norway. And sprayed it -- and aspiring

the family knew that he was volatile. He was vile. To seek

help... Maybe the Muslim families come in Europe especially, need to

be watching out for signs of psychological disturbance in their

children. Very few of them do that. There is so much grim news, I wanted

to end up with some slightly positive. Book shelves hit back with

kids classes and cocktails. A spate of openings as owners offer more

than just a store. We see a lot of book shops close. And now invented

book shops, including one I know very well, are doing things to get

people in. It is great news. You want to break the power of the big,

big... I mean, we have stopped ordering from Amazon. We have

stopped because of some of the things that were happening in their

company. But we are stuck. We have to find that particular book shop.

We have some good independent ones in London. This is good news.

Bringing children back to books, as well, which I think is really

important. They are living in such an Internet obsessed world. It makes

it an event. What is interesting is the decline of the book shop, which

we have seen, has run in parallel with the rise of the literary

Festival. People do not get literary books, but they are going to buy

books, meet authors they like, and that is interesting and it turns it

into an event. I wonder if people are fed up with technology. I know

you said you don't buy things from Amazon, presumably from its

corporation tax issue, but putting that aside I wonder if people are

fed up with dealing with bits of technology and they want something

physical. Some of these books are works of art. I just think of these

children's books, beautifully illustrated. A book gives you so

much more than just a bit of technology. There is no point

getting the Gruffalo on Kendall, you want to show them the pictures. But

I just wonder, is there any human activity possible now without a

coffee? We might find the coughing becomes more expensive because of

the drop of the pound. Is this one in Edinburgh, they don't do

cocktails but they will put the kettle on and make you a cup of tea.

She will grow you a cup of tea if you would like one -- grew. -- brew

you a cup of tea. And a biscuit, hopefully.
