:00:20. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:23. > :00:25.With me are Steve Richards, the political commentator

:00:26. > :00:27.and broadcaster, and Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor

:00:28. > :00:42.Thank you for being with us. We want to die then because there has been a

:00:43. > :00:45.lot of news. In the Telegraph tucked away is the story about Jeremy

:00:46. > :00:54.Corbyn being heckled by his own side. As we've just heard, the

:00:55. > :01:02.Trident vote has been carried. It's sort that the vote was carried by

:01:03. > :01:05.politics. Yes. I'm recording a radio series about Corbyn's first year and

:01:06. > :01:12.it was interesting recording it because in a way the schism with his

:01:13. > :01:15.MPs began over Trident. The very first Labour Party conference last

:01:16. > :01:19.September when he was interviewed about whether he would ever present

:01:20. > :01:25.the nuclear button and he said he never would. His defence spokeswoman

:01:26. > :01:29.said this is not the way to lead a Labour Party. He had only been a

:01:30. > :01:33.leader for about a week and here we are a few months on with the second

:01:34. > :01:37.leadership contest happening, and this Commons later night. In a way

:01:38. > :01:42.it is one of those things that happens in politics. I den bring

:01:43. > :01:47.Corbyn for not changing his mind. He has always helped these views. He

:01:48. > :01:51.said in the leadership campaign he would stick with this, but he has a

:01:52. > :01:55.Parliamentary Labour Party where many MPs have support for the

:01:56. > :02:02.opposite way and it is just Labour splitting from this. It is a mess.

:02:03. > :02:06.There were three positions. Abstention, voting against and

:02:07. > :02:10.voting with. It is one of those things where it is a consequence of

:02:11. > :02:12.what happens when he was elected leader, but where there is no

:02:13. > :02:19.obvious escape route, in other words it would completely undermine him,

:02:20. > :02:23.Corbyn, to announce he did not believe what he has been talking

:02:24. > :02:32.about in the last 40, 50 years of his political life. If he doesn't,

:02:33. > :02:38.there will be a schism. This coming on the night of hustings to try and

:02:39. > :02:44.find that so-called unity candidate to stand against Jeremy Corbyn,

:02:45. > :02:51.potentially. As Steve said, it highlights the split in the party.

:02:52. > :02:57.Corbyn is perhaps in June with the majority of his members still, which

:02:58. > :03:07.is the challenge for Angela Eagle and the wind Smith who are trying to

:03:08. > :03:18.find ways to unseat him. -- Owen Smith. Whoever comes forward, the

:03:19. > :03:22.big challenges see whether they can do the -- defeat Corbyn in the vote.

:03:23. > :03:27.They had better be good. They need to produce some pretty special. That

:03:28. > :03:36.is part of the problem. We shall see. Martin, move of one. Execute

:03:37. > :03:45.and you are out. This is the message from the states and international

:03:46. > :03:50.community as a whole to Turkey. The Turkish president in response to

:03:51. > :03:55.this failed coup, as well as arresting an enormous number of

:03:56. > :04:00.people and suspending officials, he's suggesting he might restore the

:04:01. > :04:03.death penalty. Whether he would is another matter, but the European

:04:04. > :04:07.Union has a policy that all its members cannot have the death

:04:08. > :04:14.penalty. This headline refers explicitly to that. The foreign

:04:15. > :04:20.affairs spokesperson says if you do that, that is the end of your route

:04:21. > :04:27.into the EU. The Germans have said the same. Lots of developments

:04:28. > :04:34.continuing in this attempted coup and a lot of concern from the

:04:35. > :04:39.American and European side to the extent of this perch he is having.

:04:40. > :04:42.From the outside it does seem as though he may be using this as an

:04:43. > :04:49.excuse to round up anyone he doesn't like. Isn't it interesting in the

:04:50. > :04:54.context of that now distant EU referendum debate which now seems

:04:55. > :05:01.like ancient history, one of the arguments was, don't carry on with

:05:02. > :05:04.the EU, Turkey is about to join. At least the EU has some bargaining

:05:05. > :05:10.power by saying if you carry on like this you won't get what you want,

:05:11. > :05:14.which is to be part of the EU. Britain out of it has no bargaining

:05:15. > :05:19.power at all. They have because Turkey still wants to be part of the

:05:20. > :05:26.EU. Onto the sports pages of the Guardian. Sorry, you are having to

:05:27. > :05:34.share. This is all very collegiate! Times are hard! This is the story of

:05:35. > :05:39.Russia's state-sponsored drugs programme and the fact that Putin

:05:40. > :05:43.has responded by saying maybe they will be split in the Olympic

:05:44. > :05:49.movement. What I find staggering about this story is just the scale

:05:50. > :06:02.of it, if it is proven to be the case. Government security services,

:06:03. > :06:09.hiding widespread doping. It is astonishing if it has been carried

:06:10. > :06:17.out on that scale. You asked the question, is it worth all that? What

:06:18. > :06:21.will happen? If it is on that scale and Putin warns of this blitz, when

:06:22. > :06:28.you throw in all the other compost above things going on at the moment,

:06:29. > :06:31.to have this admittedly on the front page of the sport section of the

:06:32. > :06:38.Guardian, it is a pretty explosive story. It was comprehensively

:06:39. > :06:43.organise. There were drilling holes in the walls to seize the containers

:06:44. > :06:47.with the positive sample so they could reopen them and put back clean

:06:48. > :06:52.samples. It was very highly organised and the reason it was

:06:53. > :07:02.worth it to the Russians, particularly in such you where they

:07:03. > :07:09.came out as the top medal winners, Putin is obsessed with his country's

:07:10. > :07:16.national prestige. And the Olympics of political. Football and politics

:07:17. > :07:24.interconnect, but this is huge. This connects with Putin, the future of

:07:25. > :07:30.Russia, international diplomacy. It seems the athletes already banned

:07:31. > :07:36.from the Olympics and it's whether it's extended to the rest of the

:07:37. > :07:39.Russian team. The track and field people have already gone. It will

:07:40. > :07:48.have to happen otherwise it will destroy all readability. Some are

:07:49. > :07:51.competing under the Olympic flag. Very complicated. We will finish

:07:52. > :08:04.with the Financial Times. Two stories. Take as with the top one.

:08:05. > :08:08.Thousands on the promenade in Nice. Minutes silence for those who died.

:08:09. > :08:14.The focus though was on the Prime Minister. There was a great response

:08:15. > :08:18.to the emergency workers and a negative response to the French

:08:19. > :08:25.Prime Minister. I was in France last week before this happened. Even then

:08:26. > :08:32.people were saying there needs to be a stronger response to the problem

:08:33. > :08:39.of extremism. This is accentuated it and despite the state of emergency,

:08:40. > :08:43.they are having these large-scale attacks and they cannot get to grips

:08:44. > :08:48.with the terrible problems affecting them. It is a massive political

:08:49. > :08:52.problem for the French authority and a terrible event that is been

:08:53. > :08:59.marked. It is unfair to blame elected politicians. I know they are

:09:00. > :09:04.ultimately responsible. There has been criticism of the French

:09:05. > :09:09.security services. I am not an expert on security, but it seems

:09:10. > :09:16.difficult to stop something that happened in Nice we have this loner

:09:17. > :09:22.in a truck. We took about how the Olympics become political, this

:09:23. > :09:27.clearly does with the French presidential elections next year.

:09:28. > :09:34.People, various people, marine Le Pen coming in from the right, she is

:09:35. > :09:39.going to make this a key issue. I think it is unfair to blame them,

:09:40. > :09:45.but they need to get their act together pretty quickly. I can see

:09:46. > :09:53.you want to come in, but time is tight. My thanks to you both. Before

:09:54. > :10:02.we go, an update on that news out of Germany concerning the man who had

:10:03. > :10:03.attacked a number of people on the train in Wurzbueg. We are now
