24/07/2016 The Papers

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

With me are the political correspondent for The Daily

Telegraph, Ben Riley-Smith, and the Deputy News Editor

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with this.

Andrew has been in touch asking for different stories from 1030 and more

umph. We will do our best. LAUGHING.

The Financial Times leads with the parliamentary report

into the sale of BHS, which blames Goldman Sachs

for helping the former owner Sir Philip Green to pull

The Metro also focuses on that same report into the collapse

of the High Street retailer/ The report highlights Sir Philip's

role in the sale, saying that his reputation "as the king

The i goes for a sport-heavy front page, with the IOC's decision not

to impose a blanket ban on Russian athletes at the Rio Olympics.

It also pictures cyclist Chris Froome winning his

On the BHS report, The Daily Telegraph highlights

the MPs' calls for Sir Philip Green to be stripped of his knighthood,

unless he pays the company's pension deficit.

The Times also has a similar front page leading with the damning report

into BHS, as well as with the severe delays at Dover, affecting

holidaymakers who want to reach the cross-Channel ferries.

Meanwhile, the Guardian also discusses Labour's Leader

of the House of Lords withdrawing her support

for Jeremy Corbyn, in the forthcoming leadership election.

We will begin with a new story we did not have at 1030. We have

managed on that score. Umph, chaps. Anger at the EU deal. What is this?

If you want more umph, start with the daily press. It has taken the

story about the EU negotiations yesterday. It is and EU deal to hold

our exit. What is one of many ideas on the table is a seven year

emergency brake for migrants. This was discussed before the referendum.

It was one of the ideas floated by David Cameron that was never

delivered. It was one of the items for discussion. We do not have a

deal and it is not halting how exit either. But obviously there is

concern it might be seen as a phage. -- fudge. Many said this is not what

we voted for. Theresa May says Brexit means Brexit, but no one

knows what Brexit is. This will be a problem for Theresa May for a long

time. It will be fury from the leavers. No one really knows what is

leaving means. But if we don't stop free movement and get total control

of our borders we will seem to have sold out on that. That would mean we

will definitely leave the single market as it cannot stay in it

without free movement. You have a tussle with businesses wanting total

access to the free market and those who voted to leave not wanting it.

If we get full access to will have to take freedom of movement. If we

want to less access we will get more control over migration. That will

play out for a few years. Doesn't that show that there is a room for a

manoeuvre. That those talks that both sides would be in transient --

-- intransigent, well, they cannot be. It was always the case that some

sort of deal would emerge eventually. It is horse-trading as

to what kind of deal we will get in the end. It is one of those ideas on

the table. Anger at EU deal will be repeated on the front page of the

Daily Express many times. Were we get there? The Guardian. The NHS

torn apart by MPs. Sir Philip Green accused of extracting huge sums of

dividends as the Stawell grew weaker and we can. Hundreds of millions of

pounds he was taking from the company. -- store. I cannot remember

a committee reports this damning on a set of individuals. The

unacceptable face of capitalism. They say Dominic Chappell sold it

for a quid. He had his hands in the till. He systematically extracted

hundreds of millions of pounds from the NHS to the point it would

collapse. Philip Green is primarily held responsible. The MPs are

putting forward the argument that Philip Green has a long duty to fill

the black hole of this pension deficit, ?571 million. The comment

from Frank Field said what kind of man is that they can count his

fortune in billions but doesn't know what's decent behaviour is. Very

cutting. His character has been called into question. The framing of

Sir Phillip Greed. Pay up your money or lose your knighthood. Quite an

image. That is a lot of cash. A big price. This is where it gets to the

middle of it. Those 11,000 people whose jobs are at risk and the tens

of thousands that passed through him and worked at the firm will be

financially hit by this decision. Their pensions are up in the air.

Then you have Sir Philip Green on his second off third yacht in some

way tropical topless having a great time. Topless?

LAUGHING. He is saying some of this cash will be reinvested. It is a

tricky thing. A delivery of his third yacht quite recently. A cool

100 million. So... Part of the deficit, that. Let us look at the

Times. The those are delays could last weeks. -- the Dover. Another

paper is saying the whole summer. It has been rough for the last few days

for those tried to get to the Channel. Those thinking of having a

straightforward Ma Ying-jeou crossing, well, they were wrong. --

Channel crossing. People cooking and sleeping in their cars. Playing

sport on the motorway. Aid organisations chipping in water for

the people stuck out there. You know how hot it was yesterday. And that

was brought out by not a lack of preparation, but far too few staff

in France. Is it revengeful Brexit like someone claiming? There is road

speculation. -- rogue. A centre-right leader of the Calais

region quite often pops up with entertaining quotes when these rows

hit the headlines. He says it shows are consequences to Brexit. That is

not quite deliberately sabotaging British holidays... It is like

trains being cancelled. Exactly. If you don't put the staff on that will

happen. The Financial Times. Died in match its record 173 million loss

after job cuts. Why is it in such dire straits? Every newspaper can

understand the problems. Readers are dropping off. The business model is

struggling to adapt to the on line area. Especially after this huge

loss, part of their business, a stake in Ascantiel, a magazine

company, they have written down that price. They are holding off from

doing that. But all the papers are going through tough times

financially. It is tough to watch. Many will be in pain reading this. I

will say there is a bit of time to solve their finances after selling

the auto Trader a few years ago. They have ?750 million in cash. They

are not the worst off by any stretch of the imagination but they cannot

sustain these losses for a long time. How much of it is down to

trying to work out what the new digital model is when it comes to

advertising? That is an issue. Advertising has been hit across the

board at the moment. So, you know, I am not sure the Guardian has quite

got that model right because their on line is free and the guardian

newspaper is quite expensive. -- Guardian. It is something everyone

is having to deal would. The drop in advertising is hurting many people.

This piece cites an ambitious project of opening up offices in

Australia and America to create a website free to users. Many question

whether that is contributing. Everyone, that's all by newspapers

tomorrow. It doesn't matter which, but by a bar. -- let's. -- paper. Or

pick one up at the station. That is right. You don't necessarily have to

buy one. The Times. Olympic backlash. The backlash after the

Olympic chiefs reject a ban on Russia. This person says I can't

understand why they haven't been completely banned. They should be

out, no exception. That is tough, though, on people who are clean.

That is tough. It is partly because the International Olympic Committee,

the IOC, the head of them was tasked with this decision. He has been

called a copout. He said he will not make a decision on the total state.

He will give it to each of the 20 sporting bodies to make a decision.

It is another thing to choose to do. 12 days before the Olympic Games

open and all of these are bodies have to get their act together.

Doping scandals, back history, who was where and when, I think they

will have a busy few days to try get busy for the Russians in. Who knows

how many will turn up. To get them there. Once they are they would will

not be trusting of the results we are seeing. Imagine the 800 metre

race with... Well, not an 800 metre race, but a particular sport, a

Russian person comes first above a British competitor on the podium.

With the track and field, they will be able to go. And what message that

this send out to sports men and women? What does this send out to

people who are caught doping, considering doping, apparently the

message is they will not have a statewide punishment. There must be

something going on behind the scenes. They must be under immense

pressure from Russia. We are going through a tense time with the

Eastern European border between Russia and the West. If you totally

ban a country from competing in the greatest spectacle in the world,

what does that mean? And sport organisations have not exactly been

free from corruption themselves. Cycling, they had to get their acts

together. They were riddled with doping allegations for many years,

but, here we have a cleaner sport is now. A man who has just defied the

odds for the third time. Vava Froome is the headlines. All sorts of

accusations from the French, how can you be this brilliant? They have

treated him better. Here is clinking glasses, a glass of champagne. I am

starting to fall in love with this British Cycling hero. Steady on.

Less hate, more love. LAUGHING. It is a terrific

achievement. For years, it was seen as a competition where British

cyclists did not stand a chance. We have now dominated for the last five

years. Those young cyclists following him are doing very well.

It confirms how brilliantly we have done. You don't have to be called

Andrew to get a tweet read out in the papers. It helps. Andrew says,

why didn't you get a three seater bike from the prop department of the

BBC to celebrate the tour win? We could have cycled around the studio

together. I love that idea. I am probably the only person who

understands what that means. I have the physical attributes to bike a

3-person bike. I could have helped our. I could have joined in. May be.

LAUGHING. Let's not. Not just Chris Froome, we have to mention Mark

Cavendish as well. And Yates. A team effort. The first person... Sorry,

the first British person to win three. And phenomenal thing to cheer

about. Indeed. Already, and we haven't even got to the Olympic

Games yet. Ben and Joel, thank you for your umph this hour. Lovely to

see you. I hope that met with approval. And coming up next is the

film review.
