:00:00. > :00:13.That is all from Sportsday. Coming up at a moment... The papers.

:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:19.With me are Liam Halligan, columnist from The Telegraph,

:00:20. > :00:24.and the journalist and broadcaster Rachel Shabi.

:00:25. > :00:26.Let's take a look at the front pages...

:00:27. > :00:28.The Telegraph is reporting that the government will scrap

:00:29. > :00:40.its target to reduce net migration to below a hundred thousand a year.

:00:41. > :00:42.The Express urges the new Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

:00:43. > :00:46.The Metro leads with the shooting in Spalding in Lincolnshire

:00:47. > :00:57.The Financial Times focuses on the IMF reducing Britain's growth

:00:58. > :00:59.forecasts after the vote to leave the European Union.

:01:00. > :01:02.The I dedicates its front page to the fight between Owen Smith

:01:03. > :01:04.and Jeremy Corbyn for the Labour leadership.

:01:05. > :01:05.The Guardian's front page has an image from

:01:06. > :01:08.Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's press conference with US Secretary

:01:09. > :01:20.The Times leads with a story about Owen Smith's past, when he

:01:21. > :01:31.That gives you a flavour, let's dive in, and we find battle lines drawn

:01:32. > :01:39.between Owen Smith and Jeremy Corbyn. Yes, battle lines strong

:01:40. > :01:45.because Angela Eagle dropped out of the leadership bid earlier today.

:01:46. > :01:49.One of them was always going to drop out, that was always going to be the

:01:50. > :01:53.plan, they want to just the one candidate, what they are calling a

:01:54. > :02:01.unity candidate to stand up against Jeremy Corbyn. The trouble for this

:02:02. > :02:05.candidate is that it doesn't seem to really matter who it is by that many

:02:06. > :02:09.percentage points in the sense that Corbyn is still the preferred

:02:10. > :02:16.leadership candidate amongst the Labour Party membership. Interesting

:02:17. > :02:21.that the fight for the soul of labour... Getting to grips with the

:02:22. > :02:24.idea of the Battle of ideology, essentially, the purity of the

:02:25. > :02:29.Labour vision versus the pragmatism of how one gets elected, perhaps?

:02:30. > :02:33.The Parliamentary Labour Party, the MPs who don't back Jeremy Corbyn's

:02:34. > :02:37.leadership, they have fallen out with him on Trident with the lot of

:02:38. > :02:43.MPs backing the renewal of Trident and Corbyn himself being against

:02:44. > :02:48.Angela Eagle, a very experienced MP from the north-west, she got 72 MEPs

:02:49. > :02:54.and MPs supporting her and Owen Smith, relative new,, bin in the

:02:55. > :02:59.house since 2010 from a safe seat and Pontypridd, going forward to

:03:00. > :03:03.battle with Jeremy Corbyn, with and illegal as part of the deal, will

:03:04. > :03:07.get some kind of senior role but I think a lot of outsiders from

:03:08. > :03:12.outside the Labour Party looking on both think OK, clearly Jeremy Corbyn

:03:13. > :03:17.will probably become leader again but even though he is popular

:03:18. > :03:21.amongst Labour activists, he hasn't got any chance of winning a general

:03:22. > :03:26.election. Do they want to win this ideological battle or do they want

:03:27. > :03:30.power? Although it's kind of false paradigms as is the purity versus

:03:31. > :03:36.pragmatism set up in the sense that it seems to be what the centre

:03:37. > :03:42.slashed left of the party has failed to learn from the last few elections

:03:43. > :03:48.and the EU referendum is that the centre has collapsed, the jig is up,

:03:49. > :03:52.people are not buying that style of politics in a more, people are not

:03:53. > :03:55.interested in these reasonable looking centre is to present

:03:56. > :04:01.themselves in nice suits and give us spin. That clearly isn't working any

:04:02. > :04:05.more and that is what is explaining Jeremy Corbyn's success, it's not

:04:06. > :04:10.about him, it's the fact that he represents a kind of politics that

:04:11. > :04:14.hasn't been represented in the mainstream for so long and people

:04:15. > :04:17.are hungry for it. Of course it's going to be a pretty long summer of

:04:18. > :04:22.this because September, is when it all happens at in the meantime, in

:04:23. > :04:27.the Times, the lead story, Labour feud over Corbyn rival's pastors

:04:28. > :04:31.lobbyist... We will see a lot of this on both sides, no doubt, a bit

:04:32. > :04:36.of concern raising, shall we say about the former role that Owen

:04:37. > :04:45.Smith had for the US drug company Pfizer. The Corbyn eased as one to

:04:46. > :04:49.paint him as Blair like, he has come back saying I am radical, similar to

:04:50. > :04:54.Jeremy Corbyn in many ways but the Corbyn eased as say you've been a

:04:55. > :04:59.lobbyist for a big pharmaceutical firm and paid a great deal of money,

:05:00. > :05:06.the firm was fined, you're not part of the Labour tradition and so on. I

:05:07. > :05:10.think what I'd say, as an outsider, is that Owen Smith, while he may

:05:11. > :05:14.present himself as also to Corbyn than he is to Blair, seems to be a

:05:15. > :05:22.lot like the other Labour candidates that Corbyn beat so convincingly

:05:23. > :05:26.nine or ten months ago. What has he ever really done outside politics?

:05:27. > :05:36.He's been a journalist for a while, worked as a lobbyist, again in

:05:37. > :05:40.politics... It is... I would very much agree with you, he seems to be

:05:41. > :05:46.more of the same but on the other hand, I just want a fantastic HM

:05:47. > :05:50.opposition to go up against because I think that's what they need and

:05:51. > :05:54.filed Corbyn may appeal to the Labour activists, he's still got

:05:55. > :05:58.appalling ratings amongst the general publics that are done with

:05:59. > :06:02.Michael Foot when I was a kid. That is the problem. It's no surprise he

:06:03. > :06:05.has low polling ratings in the middle of this chaos amongst the

:06:06. > :06:10.party but I agree with you, they desperately need an opposition and

:06:11. > :06:14.you kind of think, if we are going to end up with the same result in

:06:15. > :06:21.two months' time, Corbyn will be leader, we have to go through this

:06:22. > :06:24.train wreck? As regards the Brexit debate, the UK debating with Europe,

:06:25. > :06:32.but we've also got to debate with ourselves, as we debate... In the

:06:33. > :06:36.middle of an identity crisis. We are, aren't we? Take us on to the

:06:37. > :06:43.Daily Telegraph, Rachel. We turn our attention to the Tories, this

:06:44. > :06:46.headline about Tory migration target axed, the focus today on the new

:06:47. > :06:51.Home Secretary Amber Rudd and what her view might be on the targets are

:06:52. > :06:59.met migration. Amber Rudd, the new Home Secretary, signalled and Boris

:07:00. > :07:04.Johnson later backed up, that the target of hitting below 100,000

:07:05. > :07:09.migrants per year coming into the UK was not reasonable and that it was

:07:10. > :07:11.going to be dropped and that it was unrealistic and it would set up a

:07:12. > :07:15.sort of false expectation that would only be disappointed and I suppose

:07:16. > :07:20.this has to be seen in the context of Brexit. And managing people's

:07:21. > :07:26.expectations around that cause so much of that Brexit debate was

:07:27. > :07:29.premised on regaining control of borders and reducing migration

:07:30. > :07:34.whereas the reality is... Neither of those things may come to pass. In

:07:35. > :07:42.the sort of formulation of leaving the EU. Your paper... Before the

:07:43. > :07:51.last election, David Cameron famously said I will reduce net

:07:52. > :07:58.migration to double-digit thousands for example 100,000 below and then

:07:59. > :08:02.it went to 330,020 15 and that is net migration and many, many more if

:08:03. > :08:05.you went to people who didn't stay a year but got a national insurance

:08:06. > :08:11.number and this has to be seen in the context of Brexit, to try and

:08:12. > :08:15.see off Ukip before the election, Cameron making the promise and he

:08:16. > :08:21.promised the referendum, of course. I am sure many people voted to leave

:08:22. > :08:24.because they wanted to see less net immigration but there would be this

:08:25. > :08:28.negotiation that we spoke about before, the basic leader of the

:08:29. > :08:35.negotiation, free movement of people on one hand and control of borders

:08:36. > :08:38.and trade on the other hand. And going into any negotiation you don't

:08:39. > :08:43.want to see what your target is, obviously but I think it's furry

:08:44. > :08:48.clear that we will get somewhere between 150 and 250,000 so more

:08:49. > :08:51.sustainable that you can plan better with the UK Government in some kind

:08:52. > :08:57.of control to give people more confidence. But that Cameron

:08:58. > :09:01.pre-election promise to head off Ukip is probably too difficult to

:09:02. > :09:04.deliver any time soon. They don't want to be held to a figure. Talking

:09:05. > :09:13.about people held to things they said in the past... Very nice link.

:09:14. > :09:17.Enjoying your new job, Mr Johnson? Boris had a bed of a rough fried

:09:18. > :09:22.with journalists. He had a bit of a rough ride, didn't he, the new

:09:23. > :09:26.Foreign Secretary. The bit I really liked, it was bad enough he was

:09:27. > :09:32.basically trolled by US journalists holding into account for various

:09:33. > :09:36.insulting remarks particularly in relation to Barack Obama and Hillary

:09:37. > :09:40.Clinton but there was a stage at which John Kerry was being kind to

:09:41. > :09:45.our Foreign Secretary over something at which point Boris Langton and

:09:46. > :09:51.John Kerry said, it's called clumsy, Boris! And I thought that was such a

:09:52. > :09:56.great part, this is how you do it! Not what you have been doing! Boris

:09:57. > :09:59.was caught out for making rude remarks about Hillary Clinton and

:10:00. > :10:07.Barack Obama and he said there isn't time to issue the litany of

:10:08. > :10:12.apologies, the global apologies I will have to make to account for my

:10:13. > :10:19.30 years after a listen. And he is probably right. He tried to turn it

:10:20. > :10:24.into a joke but the US... The US press did not really get it. They

:10:25. > :10:29.don't speak Latin and they don't understand sarcasm. We jumped to the

:10:30. > :10:35.Daily Mail. Something a little closer to home. This story of

:10:36. > :10:41.patients being dropped their GPs for being too healthy. GPs tend to get

:10:42. > :10:44.something like ?136 a year for every registered patient and of course

:10:45. > :10:48.those registered patients don't turn up and some of them unfortunately

:10:49. > :10:52.may not be with us any more or may have moved so we hear now of moves

:10:53. > :10:59.by the Department of Health to hire cab at the outsourcing in order to

:11:00. > :11:03.go through lists and write to people twice and if they don't reply to

:11:04. > :11:07.remove them from lists so if you haven't been to your GP for more

:11:08. > :11:11.than five years, according to the story and you don't respond to two

:11:12. > :11:15.letters or one of two letters to say you still want to be treated, you

:11:16. > :11:19.can be taken off the list and find it much order to get an appointment,

:11:20. > :11:25.it's a cost saving measure but some people will find it worrying, Norman

:11:26. > :11:28.Lamb the leading Lib Dem, well-known for his interventions on the NHS has

:11:29. > :11:32.called it outrageous and I'm sure many others well but on the other

:11:33. > :11:35.hand, people and the government said we have got to save money and why

:11:36. > :11:40.are we giving money to doctors at a time when we are trying to control

:11:41. > :11:44.the payroll to hospital doctors, fire be giving money to GPs and

:11:45. > :11:51.patients they are no longer looking after in any way? Because we are

:11:52. > :11:54.tight on time, Rachel, take us back to the Daily Telegraph, we've had

:11:55. > :12:11.such a hard day, too hot for some but they have this barmy or barmy?

:12:12. > :12:21.All of it. Is that Aberystwyth? It's really beautifully composed picture.

:12:22. > :12:30.But yes, so unexpected. This image. Now it's too hard. Social media is

:12:31. > :12:34.full of how to... Put a bottle of frozen water in front of your fan

:12:35. > :12:44.for indoor, do-it-yourself air-conditioning. We have just had

:12:45. > :12:51.one of our reporters. They were rubbing suncream on a pig. Thank you

:12:52. > :12:56.both for a much. That is it for the papers. All of the front pages

:12:57. > :13:04.online on the BBC News website. You can read a detailed review. Olver,

:13:05. > :13:10.seven days a week. You can see us there as well. Posted on the page.

:13:11. > :13:37.My thanks to Liam and Rachel. Good evening. What a day it was.

:13:38. > :13:38.Most of us enjoyed a lot of sunshine. Temperatures rocketing up
