18/07/2016 The Papers

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

With me are Steve Richards, the political commentator

and broadcaster, and Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor

Thank you for being with us. We want to die then because there has been a

lot of news. In the Telegraph tucked away is the story about Jeremy

Corbyn being heckled by his own side. As we've just heard, the

Trident vote has been carried. It's sort that the vote was carried by

politics. Yes. I'm recording a radio series about Corbyn's first year and

it was interesting recording it because in a way the schism with his

MPs began over Trident. The very first Labour Party conference last

September when he was interviewed about whether he would ever present

the nuclear button and he said he never would. His defence spokeswoman

said this is not the way to lead a Labour Party. He had only been a

leader for about a week and here we are a few months on with the second

leadership contest happening, and this Commons later night. In a way

it is one of those things that happens in politics. I den bring

Corbyn for not changing his mind. He has always helped these views. He

said in the leadership campaign he would stick with this, but he has a

Parliamentary Labour Party where many MPs have support for the

opposite way and it is just Labour splitting from this. It is a mess.

There were three positions. Abstention, voting against and

voting with. It is one of those things where it is a consequence of

what happens when he was elected leader, but where there is no

obvious escape route, in other words it would completely undermine him,

Corbyn, to announce he did not believe what he has been talking

about in the last 40, 50 years of his political life. If he doesn't,

there will be a schism. This coming on the night of hustings to try and

find that so-called unity candidate to stand against Jeremy Corbyn,

potentially. As Steve said, it highlights the split in the party.

Corbyn is perhaps in June with the majority of his members still, which

is the challenge for Angela Eagle and the wind Smith who are trying to

find ways to unseat him. -- Owen Smith. Whoever comes forward, the

big challenges see whether they can do the -- defeat Corbyn in the vote.

They had better be good. They need to produce some pretty special. That

is part of the problem. We shall see. Martin, move of one. Execute

and you are out. This is the message from the states and international

community as a whole to Turkey. The Turkish president in response to

this failed coup, as well as arresting an enormous number of

people and suspending officials, he's suggesting he might restore the

death penalty. Whether he would is another matter, but the European

Union has a policy that all its members cannot have the death

penalty. This headline refers explicitly to that. The foreign

affairs spokesperson says if you do that, that is the end of your route

into the EU. The Germans have said the same. Lots of developments

continuing in this attempted coup and a lot of concern from the

American and European side to the extent of this perch he is having.

From the outside it does seem as though he may be using this as an

excuse to round up anyone he doesn't like. Isn't it interesting in the

context of that now distant EU referendum debate which now seems

like ancient history, one of the arguments was, don't carry on with

the EU, Turkey is about to join. At least the EU has some bargaining

power by saying if you carry on like this you won't get what you want,

which is to be part of the EU. Britain out of it has no bargaining

power at all. They have because Turkey still wants to be part of the

EU. Onto the sports pages of the Guardian. Sorry, you are having to

share. This is all very collegiate! Times are hard! This is the story of

Russia's state-sponsored drugs programme and the fact that Putin

has responded by saying maybe they will be split in the Olympic

movement. What I find staggering about this story is just the scale

of it, if it is proven to be the case. Government security services,

hiding widespread doping. It is astonishing if it has been carried

out on that scale. You asked the question, is it worth all that? What

will happen? If it is on that scale and Putin warns of this blitz, when

you throw in all the other compost above things going on at the moment,

to have this admittedly on the front page of the sport section of the

Guardian, it is a pretty explosive story. It was comprehensively

organise. There were drilling holes in the walls to seize the containers

with the positive sample so they could reopen them and put back clean

samples. It was very highly organised and the reason it was

worth it to the Russians, particularly in such you where they

came out as the top medal winners, Putin is obsessed with his country's

national prestige. And the Olympics of political. Football and politics

interconnect, but this is huge. This connects with Putin, the future of

Russia, international diplomacy. It seems the athletes already banned

from the Olympics and it's whether it's extended to the rest of the

Russian team. The track and field people have already gone. It will

have to happen otherwise it will destroy all readability. Some are

competing under the Olympic flag. Very complicated. We will finish

with the Financial Times. Two stories. Take as with the top one.

Thousands on the promenade in Nice. Minutes silence for those who died.

The focus though was on the Prime Minister. There was a great response

to the emergency workers and a negative response to the French

Prime Minister. I was in France last week before this happened. Even then

people were saying there needs to be a stronger response to the problem

of extremism. This is accentuated it and despite the state of emergency,

they are having these large-scale attacks and they cannot get to grips

with the terrible problems affecting them. It is a massive political

problem for the French authority and a terrible event that is been

marked. It is unfair to blame elected politicians. I know they are

ultimately responsible. There has been criticism of the French

security services. I am not an expert on security, but it seems

difficult to stop something that happened in Nice we have this loner

in a truck. We took about how the Olympics become political, this

clearly does with the French presidential elections next year.

People, various people, marine Le Pen coming in from the right, she is

going to make this a key issue. I think it is unfair to blame them,

but they need to get their act together pretty quickly. I can see

you want to come in, but time is tight. My thanks to you both. Before

we go, an update on that news out of Germany concerning the man who had

attacked a number of people on the train in Wurzbueg. We are now
