:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Ayasha Hazarika, a former Labour adviser,

:00:21. > :00:32.and Dan Bilefsky is a writer for the New York Times.

:00:33. > :00:41.The front pages start with kidnap alert at all bases, on the Metro.

:00:42. > :00:45.The Mail leads on the same story, as police hunt for two suspects in

:00:46. > :00:50.connection with the incident at RAF Marham. Today's meeting between

:00:51. > :00:54.Theresa May and Francois Hollande dominate the Guardian's FrontPage.

:00:55. > :00:59.They report on the French president insisting that the UK will not have

:01:00. > :01:03.access to a single market without open borders. The Express claims

:01:04. > :01:09.house prices rose by more than 10% in the last month. Millions of Brits

:01:10. > :01:13.are abandoning trips abroad and taking staycations, in what the

:01:14. > :01:18.Telegraph says will be an economic boost. The FT pictures Jeremy Corbyn

:01:19. > :01:23.launching his campaign to stay as leader and his warning that his

:01:24. > :01:27.Parliamentary opponents will not be safe in their seats if he wins.

:01:28. > :01:32.According to the Times, several people on camera's honours list have

:01:33. > :01:39.been blocked by Whitehall because of concerns about their suitability. We

:01:40. > :01:45.start with the Metro. The Mirror, actually. Those two papers are

:01:46. > :01:50.reflecting the alarming incident at RAF Marham in Norfolk concerning the

:01:51. > :01:54.attempted abduction of a serviceman. An awful story and a serious

:01:55. > :01:59.reminder of the fact that this country is still on high alert in

:02:00. > :02:03.terms of terrorism and also the sort of threats that our service men and

:02:04. > :02:09.women face both abroad and at home. Some horrible reminders of the

:02:10. > :02:14.attack on Lee Rigby, which happened, of course, in this country. So it's

:02:15. > :02:18.a very important reminder that, even though we have all been focused on

:02:19. > :02:23.the EU referendum and Brexit, terrorism is still a huge issue for

:02:24. > :02:28.this country, keeping citizens safe, and I am sure Theresa May will be

:02:29. > :02:33.acutely aware of this. Her primary duty as a Prime Minister is to keep

:02:34. > :02:40.citizens safe, so I think people will be watching this, she will be

:02:41. > :02:45.getting regular briefings on it, and it is very serious. The significance

:02:46. > :02:50.of RAF Marham is it is from where Tornado jets, the fleet is based,

:02:51. > :02:55.and they are carrying out missions over Syria all the time. Indeed. We

:02:56. > :03:00.have been watching with deep concern what has been happening in France in

:03:01. > :03:04.the last couple of years, three serious terror attacks in less than

:03:05. > :03:09.two years, and Britain, which recently renewed its offensive in

:03:10. > :03:13.Syria against Isis, now finds itself potentially under attack. This is

:03:14. > :03:19.very alarming. We are not sure yet whether this was terrorism. But

:03:20. > :03:23.given what is happening in the rest of Europe and across the Channel,

:03:24. > :03:28.it's deeply concerning, because all along we have been worried the UK

:03:29. > :03:32.might be vulnerable. The Guardian, no free trade without open border,

:03:33. > :03:38.Francois Hollande has told Theresa May. This is tricky, because there

:03:39. > :03:42.is a difference between being in the single market and getting all the

:03:43. > :03:47.benefits that we have now, while we are still in the European Union, and

:03:48. > :03:53.having access to the single market, suggest a lesser status. The Brexit

:03:54. > :03:58.people are keen to point out that, if you have access to the market, it

:03:59. > :04:03.doesn't mean you have to follow along with the rules concerning free

:04:04. > :04:09.movement of people, for instance. Look, this is an absolutely crystal

:04:10. > :04:14.clear example of how confused people are about the consequences of exit.

:04:15. > :04:20.Also, what were people voting for? Loads of people voted leave because

:04:21. > :04:24.immigration is a big issue. It became a lightning conductor.

:04:25. > :04:29.Thought it would be clear that we could get immigration down. May not

:04:30. > :04:34.be that clear-cut. What politicians are going to have to be realising is

:04:35. > :04:38.there has been a huge breakdown in trust in politics, which is a reason

:04:39. > :04:42.for why the vote went the way it did. If people think they were

:04:43. > :04:45.promised one thing and it isn't delivered, that is going to store up

:04:46. > :04:51.trouble for this government down the track, especially because you have

:04:52. > :04:55.your Brexiteers, David Davis, Boris Johnson, and I think they could be

:04:56. > :05:00.quite a gap between what those politicians are saying and what the

:05:01. > :05:09.public think they are getting. Yesterday, we saw Angela Merkel

:05:10. > :05:13.Francois Hollande, portraying Theresa May very well, but Francois

:05:14. > :05:16.Hollande is saying, look, if you want access to the single market,

:05:17. > :05:21.you have to have free movement of people. There are 100,000 plus

:05:22. > :05:25.French people living in London and they are a huge cultural part of the

:05:26. > :05:29.city. They look of French people there are worried about their

:05:30. > :05:33.future. Francois Hollande was playing nice today but there was

:05:34. > :05:42.some Gallic seriousness. It was a wake-up call. I agree. I think you

:05:43. > :05:46.have to abide by the democratic decision. I voted Remain. But there

:05:47. > :05:52.is so much uncertainty about what Brexit is going to mean a very

:05:53. > :05:57.practical level. The immigration thing is one, take another

:05:58. > :06:01.interview, in the music industry, where there is a lot of great work

:06:02. > :06:07.in Europe. They are worried. They are all thinking, will we have to

:06:08. > :06:09.get visas? There are some interesting and big questions,

:06:10. > :06:15.practical questions, that nobody has the answers for, and that is

:06:16. > :06:18.worrying. And the false promise that Brexiteers have been selling, that

:06:19. > :06:23.they can have access to the single market and not have free movement,

:06:24. > :06:29.that will be laid bare very quickly. The Financial Times, Jeremy Corbyn,

:06:30. > :06:34.the issues a seat warning to rebel MPs. The suggestion is that they may

:06:35. > :06:41.be deselected if they don't support him. Touring boundary changes in a

:06:42. > :06:45.couple of years' time. This, to me, screams of desperation, at a time

:06:46. > :06:50.when you have civil war in the Labour Party, with the Parliamentary

:06:51. > :06:55.Labour Party no longer supporting Jeremy Corbyn. He has a lot of

:06:56. > :06:59.support with the grassroots, young people and some older people. It

:07:00. > :07:06.depends on your definition of young, I find. The fact that he finds the

:07:07. > :07:10.need to make this sort of threat means that there will be a war of

:07:11. > :07:13.attrition in the Labour Party and, if they don't get rid of him now,

:07:14. > :07:16.they will eventually, but the main beneficiaries will be the

:07:17. > :07:23.Conservatives. After Brexit, you thought it would be mayhem. This is

:07:24. > :07:27.the kind of rhetoric, and Team called in am I suspect, will come

:07:28. > :07:31.out and say, this is not a threat, simply something that might follow

:07:32. > :07:35.following the redrawing of the electoral boundaries, and it is

:07:36. > :07:43.perfectly logical that that could happen. -- Team called in. But it is

:07:44. > :07:49.something that militant put forward as a tactic to pressure people in

:07:50. > :07:55.the 80s. Of course it is a threat. It is like saying, my hand is held

:07:56. > :08:04.out, but in a fist, ready to punch you in the face if you don't comply.

:08:05. > :08:09.What we are finding in the Labour Party is that Jexit is proving more

:08:10. > :08:13.stressful than Brexit. It is a travesty what is happening in

:08:14. > :08:16.Labour, and we've got to get this election sorted out as soon as

:08:17. > :08:20.possible. But one of the things you have to do as leader of the Labour

:08:21. > :08:25.Party is you have to try and unite the party, try and bring together

:08:26. > :08:29.different parts of the party. The members are very important, the

:08:30. > :08:33.councillors are important, but MPs are important as well, because we

:08:34. > :08:39.have a Parliamentary democracy. Jeremy should be trying to bring

:08:40. > :08:43.people together, not create more division. But has he created the

:08:44. > :08:51.division? It is the MPs who have done that. I think the group

:08:52. > :08:54.Momentum at putting pressure on MPs. Most MPs get horrendous abuse from

:08:55. > :08:59.Momentum on a regular basis, they get threatened with deselection.

:09:00. > :09:03.Angela Eagle is on the brink of being deselected by her own

:09:04. > :09:07.constituency party because she doesn't think Jeremy Corbyn is a

:09:08. > :09:15.good leader. He rang her local party to give, basically, the allegations

:09:16. > :09:22.that he was very much supporting her party to deselect her. That isn't

:09:23. > :09:27.unity. If you can't keep the Parliamentary Labour Party together,

:09:28. > :09:32.how can you govern in opposition? That he would argue that 183,000 new

:09:33. > :09:37.members in the last few days alone, he must be doing something right. He

:09:38. > :09:44.is, but membership is one thing. Winning with the public is

:09:45. > :09:50.important. David Cameron's honours list blocked by Whitehall. This is

:09:51. > :09:59.like a final body blow to Cameron Kurle who has been facing... Downing

:10:00. > :10:01.Street, he's honours list is being challenged and blocked by Whitehall,

:10:02. > :10:09.which is unusual from what I understand. It is. Cameron Kurle on

:10:10. > :10:21.one of the hallmarks of his time -- Cameron Kurle, one of the hallmarks.

:10:22. > :10:24.David Cameron. I want it Theresa May have anything to do with this. I

:10:25. > :10:30.wonder if she has been saying, look, we are not going to put everybody

:10:31. > :10:33.through on these peerages. They are controversial. People feel that the

:10:34. > :10:39.house of Lords is already overstuffed. There is another story,

:10:40. > :10:43.saying that the Labour Party offered Shami Chakrabarti a peerage, so

:10:44. > :10:49.there is cronyism allegations on both sides. What is a vote against

:10:50. > :10:56.the Notting Hill set? Possibly. Never mind David Cameron putting

:10:57. > :11:04.forward his people. Liz Truss put forward to be the new Lord

:11:05. > :11:09.Chancellor, of course. Our first woman Lord Chancellor. But she has

:11:10. > :11:13.no legal training and to people have already said they don't want to work

:11:14. > :11:16.with her Lord Fawkes, who has resigned as justice minister, and

:11:17. > :11:23.Anna Soubry, who has worked 20 years as a criminal arrest. Liz Truss is

:11:24. > :11:29.not very popular. -- criminal barrister. I don't think Michael

:11:30. > :11:34.Gould, her predecessor, at any expertise. As a feminist, I am all

:11:35. > :11:38.for breaking these barriers, but it is what you do with your power. I

:11:39. > :11:41.know that a lot of women are very worried about what has been

:11:42. > :11:46.happening with the cuts in legal services, legal aid, so I hope that,

:11:47. > :11:51.as a woman first Chancellor, and Theresa May is a woman Prime

:11:52. > :11:59.Minister, they will be feminist ministers. Mrs Clinton, nothing

:12:00. > :12:04.seems to unite the Republicans better than the desire to lock her

:12:05. > :12:09.up. They are in the middle of her convention and they are pretty

:12:10. > :12:14.united on their anger against her. It is one of the most extraordinary

:12:15. > :12:18.Republican conventions in the US, with the party completely divided, a

:12:19. > :12:26.plagiarism scandal with millennia trump, quoting some lines verbatim

:12:27. > :12:34.from the shadow -- Michelle Obama speech, and then Ted Cruz saying

:12:35. > :12:38.that Donald Trump assassinated -- insulted his father. He refused to

:12:39. > :12:42.endorse Donald Trump. It seems that the only thing uniting the party is

:12:43. > :12:46.how crooked Hillary Clinton is and the notion that they will somehow

:12:47. > :12:52.put in jail over her use of private servers at home for e-mail. It shows

:12:53. > :12:58.you, it is like the image of the Labour Party in this country... It

:12:59. > :13:02.makes me feel better that there is another political party which is as

:13:03. > :13:06.dysfunctional as we are. It is the only thing which seems to be uniting

:13:07. > :13:09.the party. On the front page of the New York Times, Trump gave an

:13:10. > :13:16.interview yesterday saying that the notion of article five of Nato, by

:13:17. > :13:20.which countries promised to defend other countries from attack, it is

:13:21. > :13:23.no longer sacrosanct and that the United States under president Trump

:13:24. > :13:27.would not adhere to this. It has caused international backlash

:13:28. > :13:33.because people are afraid the United States will retrench from the

:13:34. > :13:36.international stage. It would be an interesting world with Donald Trump

:13:37. > :13:42.is leader of the free world. Larry the cat. This is really important.

:13:43. > :13:52.We know there has been a lot of famous political rivalry. We had

:13:53. > :13:56.Brown, Blair, Theresa May, Boris Johnson. But it is their cats that

:13:57. > :14:03.are arguing. Larry the cat has apparently been injured in a scrap.

:14:04. > :14:08.We have got exclusive pictures. This is them. This is the power struggle

:14:09. > :14:16.between number ten and the Foreign Office. It is like a metaphor. I

:14:17. > :14:27.think Jeremy Corbyn's cat was a bit upset.

:14:28. > :14:40.El Catto? That is what is cat is called I thought it was good

:14:41. > :14:43.Chairman Meow. I heard that Theresa May was allergic to cats. Thank you

:14:44. > :14:58.for coming in. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.

:14:59. > :15:04.It's a pleasant evening out there for most of us. Not completely dry

:15:05. > :15:05.because, in one or two areas,
