:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:40.And Neil Midgley, columnist at the Telegraph.

:00:41. > :00:52.The FT talks of surprise expressed in China, after the UK Government

:00:53. > :00:55.announced a review for plans for a new nuclear power station,

:00:56. > :00:57.which was being partly funded by Beijing.

:00:58. > :00:59.The i says national security concerns may have contributed

:01:00. > :01:01.to the government getting cold feet over the deal.

:01:02. > :01:03.The Mirror says 53 Britons have contracted Zika -

:01:04. > :01:08.amid warnings for tourists travelling to Florida.

:01:09. > :01:11.An alleged programme of Russian propaganda on Britain is the lead

:01:12. > :01:14.It also has a picture of Honeysuckle Weeks the actress

:01:15. > :01:22.Shall I carry on with the front pages?

:01:23. > :01:25.an environmental victory for campaigning to bring in a 5p

:01:26. > :01:28.It says usage is down by 85 per cent.

:01:29. > :01:32.Safety fears of overworked pilots is the Guardian's lead -

:01:33. > :01:40.it also has an image of a jubilant-looking Hillary Clinton.

:01:41. > :01:47.The Telegraph reports that the website of Donald Trump's wife has

:01:48. > :01:48.been wiped from the web after allegations she exaggerated academic

:01:49. > :01:59.achievements. Let's start with the times and

:02:00. > :02:08.President Putin waiting propaganda war on the UK. They are focusing on

:02:09. > :02:13.Sputnik. Tell us about Sputnik. Many would know them as a Russian TV

:02:14. > :02:17.station who might be considered to have a political agenda. Their

:02:18. > :02:20.background is they are a sort of propaganda wing of the Russian

:02:21. > :02:25.government. I am not sure how many I have upset with that. The suggestion

:02:26. > :02:32.that the Russian government are launching, as the article says,

:02:33. > :02:38.conspiracy theorists in universities to use non-tactics. They are not

:02:39. > :02:45.just claims -- they are just claims. A conspiracy theory. Apparently the

:02:46. > :02:50.news agency, so-called, Sputnik, which has opened in Edinburgh, has

:02:51. > :02:55.published a report suggesting the Labour MP Jo Cox may have been

:02:56. > :02:59.killed because of a plot by supporters of the European Union to

:03:00. > :03:09.sway the referendum result. She died before the vote. That is a dark

:03:10. > :03:12.piece of supposed reporting, but is apparently a conspiracy theory that

:03:13. > :03:16.has run on Russian television. Sputnik peddles the myth that the

:03:17. > :03:26.west agreed never to expand Nato to Russia's borders. Well, did it? That

:03:27. > :03:30.was a key plank apparently of Moscow's propaganda to excuse it

:03:31. > :03:35.invasion of Ukraine. I don't think Nato said that. It is something

:03:36. > :03:40.President Putin would like us to believe. If you are going to take

:03:41. > :03:43.what some might perceive as dramatic military action around the border I

:03:44. > :03:50.suppose you have to have a reason for wanting to. This is money

:03:51. > :03:57.invested in various places. Good it be a genuine linguistic and cultural

:03:58. > :04:05.enterprise? Every major power want soft power. We think of the BBC

:04:06. > :04:07.World Service as being a bastion of independent journalism,

:04:08. > :04:11.independently funded and has the same standards as we perceive the

:04:12. > :04:17.BBC to have at home. That is not the way it is seen by governments in

:04:18. > :04:23.China and Russia. Of course, both the Chinese and Russians have been

:04:24. > :04:27.pumping money, particularly China, into their international broadcast

:04:28. > :04:33.operations over the past years because they have seen, in part,

:04:34. > :04:37.because Britain and again because the World Service in most places in

:04:38. > :04:42.the world is seen as a Bastian of accurate and impartial reporting, it

:04:43. > :04:48.contributes to Britain's soft power around the world. Lots of countries

:04:49. > :04:54.have set up their own TV programme. Turkey, for example. And Iran. To a

:04:55. > :05:00.degree, the problem with espionage and what we don't know is we do not

:05:01. > :05:11.know what we don't know. Donald Rumsfeld territory! The Telegraph.

:05:12. > :05:16.Traffic is ?100,000 Channel trips. The amount of money that's somebody

:05:17. > :05:22.who is intent on smiting a large number of people can make. Some

:05:23. > :05:27.people have been found guilty of trafficking people into ports on the

:05:28. > :05:35.south coast of Britain. Dymchurch. Chichester. Charging up to ?7,000 a

:05:36. > :05:41.time, per person, not per boat, for the cross-channel crossing. In a

:05:42. > :05:47.boat that was leaking and cost them ?3000. They bought it online. They

:05:48. > :05:53.had no life jackets. I think we remember this, the horrific scenes.

:05:54. > :05:58.We have people in camps in Calais living desperate lies and so

:05:59. > :06:01.whatever people think of refugee status, these are people, you would,

:06:02. > :06:07.I would, do anything to get across, it including raising to Western

:06:08. > :06:11.values what seems a lot of money. And they would have paid a lot of

:06:12. > :06:18.money to make a perilous journey overland often. They have and it

:06:19. > :06:22.highlights what has been in the news before, how few resources we in

:06:23. > :06:29.Britain have to I suppose police the coastline. It is also a humanitarian

:06:30. > :06:34.effort, if you try to pick up leaky boats that have maybe 17 people on

:06:35. > :06:39.them, desperate to get to the UK, then clearly to an extent you are

:06:40. > :06:42.policing your borders by trying to deter people from setting off on

:06:43. > :06:48.that trip in the first place and you are also trying to find those boats

:06:49. > :06:54.and stop people from dying when the boats fail. We only have four boats

:06:55. > :07:02.to police the coastline. We are not just talking of the south, you think

:07:03. > :07:06.of Orkney, Shetland, drugs and guns, they have to be alert for all the

:07:07. > :07:10.things coming in there. It seems inconceivable we have four boats.

:07:11. > :07:15.These people received jail terms, which is supposedly a deterrent. You

:07:16. > :07:22.can imagine if there are ?100,000 per trip, that is a few house

:07:23. > :07:27.burglaries. You would have to do a lot of other crime to net that kind

:07:28. > :07:32.of ill gotten gains. These people, one of them brought them in on his

:07:33. > :07:37.yacht. It shows the perception, whether it is the reality is another

:07:38. > :07:42.matter, but the perception of these people, is it safer them to do it? I

:07:43. > :07:45.don't mean logistically safe in un-seaworthy vessels, but they feel

:07:46. > :07:51.there is little chance of getting caught. When we hear there are four

:07:52. > :08:00.vessels, they might well think that. The express newspaper, police ID,

:08:01. > :08:04.500 child victims of sexual abuse. This is an operation that Police

:08:05. > :08:11.Scotland RAM. It was over a six-week period. It was an operation led in

:08:12. > :08:17.Scotland. In terms of the way UK police forces work, in Scotland

:08:18. > :08:22.there is one police force doing all the policing affectively for one

:08:23. > :08:25.country. South of the border you have 43 forces, Home Office forces

:08:26. > :08:32.and the Police Service of Northern Ireland. You think if they have 77

:08:33. > :08:37.arrest in a small period, 30 million abuse images, 10 million of which on

:08:38. > :08:41.one computer, you think Tom how many more would we discover if all the

:08:42. > :08:47.efforts of policing were driven that way? Against the climate of police

:08:48. > :08:54.cuts, reality bites perhaps it is they cannot afford to do -- you

:08:55. > :08:58.think that how many more would we discover? A lot of them are overseas

:08:59. > :09:03.and it is live streaming of abuse, which is horrific.

:09:04. > :09:08.Resources are one thing but the cross-border nature of any

:09:09. > :09:11.cybercrime is what makes it difficult to police because it is

:09:12. > :09:18.difficult to stop something being put in front of a camera in a less

:09:19. > :09:20.well policed jurisdiction overseas, even if it is being received by

:09:21. > :09:36.criminals in Scotland. The Shia -- the numbers. 500 victims. 30

:09:37. > :09:41.million images. It is slightly mind-boggling. Those are the images

:09:42. > :09:48.they have found. The stuff on the .net is difficult to find. It is

:09:49. > :09:55.anonymous. They can disguise details. It is very hard to police

:09:56. > :10:03.what is anonymous. 10 million images on one computer is something beyond

:10:04. > :10:07.consuming pornography, that is an obsessive collecting and you wonder

:10:08. > :10:13.how those images are created in the first place, who is creating them

:10:14. > :10:17.and where they are coming from. 500 victims is clearly the thin end of

:10:18. > :10:21.the wedge. It is difficult enough to protect children in this country

:10:22. > :10:25.where we hopefully have more resources available and children in

:10:26. > :10:28.schools are made aware of the dangers of internet usage but in

:10:29. > :10:32.other parts of the world where resources are less available it is

:10:33. > :10:38.difficult for parents to protect their children. Millions of images.

:10:39. > :10:44.Without prejudging anyone case, millions and millions of images of

:10:45. > :10:50.people being abused. This is happening and showing, to a degree,

:10:51. > :10:54.it isn't something nobody is doing, it is something that maybe as a

:10:55. > :11:00.society we are not good enough at detecting. Rehabilitation. If some

:11:01. > :11:09.of these people arrested go to prison eventually, what kind of help

:11:10. > :11:16.is there to rehabilitate? There was a programme I think was called

:11:17. > :11:19.Circles of Accountability and Support for previously convicted

:11:20. > :11:23.paedophiles who had been released and who had a circle of people they

:11:24. > :11:29.could call if they felt the urge to offend again, so those people could

:11:30. > :11:35.support them in not offending. Of course, that is a controversial

:11:36. > :11:42.approach to bringing anything like that out into the open and suggests

:11:43. > :11:44.that it can be dealt with effectively in the community. That

:11:45. > :11:52.is a controversial approach. I think that programme has excess. The FT,

:11:53. > :12:01.China surprised at UK nuclear delay. The Hinkley Point decision. May be

:12:02. > :12:05.seen as rethinking relations. Theresa May again saying, hold on, I

:12:06. > :12:09.am in charge. To a degree she is entitled to. You are talking a

:12:10. > :12:15.different political direction. We think back to a couple of years ago

:12:16. > :12:18.when Chinese dignitaries were in the UK and many journalists were

:12:19. > :12:23.screaming human rights abuses, why are you not mentioning them? It was

:12:24. > :12:29.briefed at the time because I was briefed they did not want to mess up

:12:30. > :12:33.lucrative financial deals with China, but frankly there are human

:12:34. > :12:39.rights abuses concerns with China at the time swept under the carpet. Is

:12:40. > :12:46.it old-fashioned to wonder whether any foreign country, particularly a

:12:47. > :12:51.rich one the size of the intelligence agencies, would there

:12:52. > :12:54.be a national security concern? There clearly is a concern about

:12:55. > :13:02.China and hacking. To put it broadly. Cyber-espionage. That has

:13:03. > :13:09.been a concern around China for a long time. Obviously there is

:13:10. > :13:16.tension between the facts China is one of the world's biggest economies

:13:17. > :13:21.and recently they were one of the world's fastest growing economies on

:13:22. > :13:29.the one hand and in the other hand a serial human rights abuser and

:13:30. > :13:33.suspected of espionage as well. These are tensions they have to

:13:34. > :13:38.resolve the whole time and they have to resolve them in terms of Arab

:13:39. > :13:42.countries and weapons contracts. Also, if there is an international

:13:43. > :13:47.incident where a diplomat said the wrong thing these are people with a

:13:48. > :13:57.stake internationally in 7% of our power supply. In one plant.

:13:58. > :14:01.Currently people can be sanctioned and ambassadors called to embassies.

:14:02. > :14:06.Many would say that is a doomsday scenario and it would not happen and

:14:07. > :14:10.you can see these questions and discussions need to be had as

:14:11. > :14:17.companies have conceded. There is the issue of EDF, a heavily indebted

:14:18. > :14:21.company. Even the board were hardly unanimous, ten voting for, seven

:14:22. > :14:25.against and one resigning. Not a ringing endorsement. When you look

:14:26. > :14:30.at two other similar power stations they are building elsewhere in the

:14:31. > :14:35.world, both years behind schedule and well over budget, and it was

:14:36. > :14:40.instructed when it was announced this morning that the British

:14:41. > :14:45.Government was delaying its final decision on this project. The EDF

:14:46. > :14:51.share price went up I think by 9% almost instantly because I think

:14:52. > :14:59.there is a certain amount of, let's wait and see. They are not going to

:15:00. > :15:02.backtrack on it, the British Government, we have to have power,

:15:03. > :15:09.we have to have a mixed way of producing energy. It has to be

:15:10. > :15:12.thought out and decided upon. This is unlikely to be Theresa May

:15:13. > :15:17.walking into Downing Street saying, I am in charge, I will do it for the

:15:18. > :15:21.sake of it. It shows she is perceived to be more on the right

:15:22. > :15:25.wing of the party compared to David Cameron. You see a difference in

:15:26. > :15:32.political view and I suppose it is good to be looked at afresh,

:15:33. > :15:37.whatever the result. The Mirror. 53 Zika virus cases in Britain. It

:15:38. > :15:41.would seem these are cases that have been brought back into the country.

:15:42. > :15:45.Yes, it is important to be careful with something that causes so much

:15:46. > :15:55.concern and which seems to be spreading. To use a broad term. To

:15:56. > :15:59.distinguish this, that 53 people appear to have brought the virus

:16:00. > :16:04.back from abroad where they were bitten by mosquitoes in Brazil or

:16:05. > :16:09.somewhere else where the virus is now endemic. With the story we had

:16:10. > :16:15.yesterday from Florida, where four people in the US in Miami, had

:16:16. > :16:23.caught the virus by being bitten by a mosquito in Florida. Which is very

:16:24. > :16:27.different. I do not think there is any suggestion there is a

:16:28. > :16:32.possibility that you can, yet, catch the Zika virus in the UK. Let's move

:16:33. > :16:41.on and talk about a plastic bag victory. Your plastic bag victory it

:16:42. > :16:53.says. 85% drop in plastic bag use. It is huge. They base it on 6-7

:16:54. > :16:57.months of figures. Apparently 5p worth of banks is equivalent to 3

:16:58. > :17:13.million pelicans, say the government. How much does a pelican

:17:14. > :17:23.way and multiply it by... It might have been a Secretary of State for

:17:24. > :17:30.Wales. Apparently the equivalent of 300 bewails, or so. Who has been

:17:31. > :17:37.weighing them. 1000 sea turtles. -- blue whales. The fact the plastic

:17:38. > :17:41.bags, when they are washed out to see kill wildlife on the one hand

:17:42. > :17:45.and on the other is saying we have two-way plastic bags and see how

:17:46. > :17:51.many of various different kinds of creatures they are equivalent to!

:17:52. > :17:54.There is a serious point to it. It is strange. Olympic size swimming

:17:55. > :18:00.pools and London buses, isn't it? Who would think a five pence charge

:18:01. > :18:08.would make the difference? I am guilty, I walk around with banks. If

:18:09. > :18:13.you are spending whatever it might be, a weekly shop, ?10 in a shop,

:18:14. > :18:18.what is 5p on top of that? I would have thought people would be as

:18:19. > :18:23.reckless as I. Clearly not. Clearly you are more reckless! As more shop

:18:24. > :18:27.online and have it delivered, as I do, when I get my shopping

:18:28. > :18:32.delivered, they put it in loads of plastic bags for which I am charged.

:18:33. > :18:36.Don't you hand them back? Of course you can hand them back and you get

:18:37. > :18:41.the 5p back will stop I am suspicious about what happens to the

:18:42. > :18:46.banks. I don't think they can be easily reused as opposed to be

:18:47. > :18:53.cycles. The recycling, I am not sure how much takes place. Really? Let's

:18:54. > :18:57.not get into that. And the energy it uses. I rarely have enough plastic

:18:58. > :19:08.bags at home because I use shopping bags. I am bladed -- loaded. I

:19:09. > :19:19.probably have trip as 50 worth at home. A voice in my here. -- my ear.

:19:20. > :19:25.This is awful. I am sorry to put you off your supper. Cockroach milk. Is

:19:26. > :19:31.that what you made my coffee with? It could be the next super food. If

:19:32. > :19:37.you are consuming any thing which you are enjoying at this moment,

:19:38. > :19:42.please look away now. Cockroach milk, the milk exuded by a certain

:19:43. > :19:47.kind of cockroach could be the most nutritious substance on the planet,

:19:48. > :19:53.it turns out. There are cockroaches that do not lay eggs. They sound

:19:54. > :19:58.like mammals. They give birth to live young and feed them with a

:19:59. > :20:02.dense milky substance and this is where it is stomach churning, which

:20:03. > :20:08.crystallises in the stomachs of young cockroaches. It's their

:20:09. > :20:15.leaches into their bodies, the nutrition that they need. A heady

:20:16. > :20:20.mix of proteins, fats and sugars. Harvesting this, it would be tricky?

:20:21. > :20:25.I think it is tricky and scientists are not sure. They physically have

:20:26. > :20:31.to get in there and process. They are not sure it is fit for human

:20:32. > :20:35.consumption. I think it is a quiet news day. If you look at the

:20:36. > :20:48.newspapers today, it is why we have 800 words of copy on two, three

:20:49. > :20:54.lines. It got our attention. When they make cockroach milk chocolate I

:20:55. > :21:02.might be tempted. Really? More on the website. Seven days a week, and

:21:03. > :21:03.you can see us there. Each night's edition is posted shortly after we

:21:04. > :21:27.have finished. Thank U. Good evening. Friday brought us a

:21:28. > :21:31.mixed bag of weather. We had summary sunshine and big showers and

:21:32. > :21:34.thunderstorms as well as funnel clouds. This is the sun setting in

:21:35. > :21:35.Hertfordshire. It is a
