:01:39. > :01:42.the Daily Telegraph. Tories in on a revolt, David Cameron accused of
:01:43. > :01:46.devaluing the system by giving an award to his wife's stylist. That
:01:47. > :01:53.would be the one they pick out that there are a lot of other people.
:01:54. > :01:57.They don't have to give these awards with David Cameron has chosen to.
:01:58. > :02:00.The last time I was sat it was the night David Cameron resigned and we
:02:01. > :02:04.were talking about what he may do next and what Prime Minister he
:02:05. > :02:08.would want to be and we agreed he would not want to be like Tony Blair
:02:09. > :02:12.in the way it has been tarnished so badly. If that is the case it seems
:02:13. > :02:17.like he has not made a good start because he ran through these
:02:18. > :02:20.enormous payoffs against top level civil service advisors and now they
:02:21. > :02:27.were not enough and all of the staff are going to get a gun. I say almost
:02:28. > :02:35.all of them but it is because 48, some to other politicians and his
:02:36. > :02:39.wife ayes stylist. Other taking a slightly sniffy time that a driver
:02:40. > :02:43.is getting an award, a stylist because if that is what your job is,
:02:44. > :02:50.that's what you do, you can still do it well. They are making a classist
:02:51. > :02:57.statements, the idea that women might need help dressing for the
:02:58. > :03:00.untold scrutiny of save the newspapers is unthinkable I'm sure
:03:01. > :03:04.to the people writing the Daily Telegraph but it is very hard. I
:03:05. > :03:08.clearly look like I said to my close until I got here and for some people
:03:09. > :03:14.I may still but somebody spent some time making me look neater. We all
:03:15. > :03:19.turn up looking less than best. Somebody makes you look nice and it
:03:20. > :03:22.is an heroic effort as far as I'm concerned. There doesn't seem to me
:03:23. > :03:28.to be intrinsically less worthwhile than really quite a lot of renowned
:03:29. > :03:32.politicians on this list but I suppose this is all relative. It
:03:33. > :03:37.would be very much better to ram down on the subject of honours
:03:38. > :03:40.instead of rounding up. Instead of saying give it to the stylist, the
:03:41. > :03:46.show found all of the people you couldn't pick out of a line-up, I
:03:47. > :03:50.would challenge people to identify will struggle to pick one example
:03:51. > :03:58.entirely at random. Why give any price. You could pick from a line
:03:59. > :04:02.of? I could but I don't think that qualifies you for a gong. There are
:04:03. > :04:06.four Cabinet ministers have fun night head and this is an epidemic
:04:07. > :04:11.at Westminster. When the Speaker calls out the MPs, service and said
:04:12. > :04:15.that, it is like King Arthur 's round table with so many nights and
:04:16. > :04:22.his nondescript MPs who have achieved very little frankly, they
:04:23. > :04:26.have been loyal but the idea... Could that be the least you aim for?
:04:27. > :04:32.Hard-working loyalty seems like the very least you could do. It seems to
:04:33. > :04:36.me like the low bar. The interesting thing is if it will all go ahead and
:04:37. > :04:41.Theresa May has been keen to separate herself from much of the
:04:42. > :04:45.legacy of David Cameron so we will see how many of these 14 names
:04:46. > :04:54.eventually emerge. The guardian and furious as Donald Trump insults a
:04:55. > :05:00.Muslim family. He said the candidate is a black soul unfit lead so tell
:05:01. > :05:10.us about this. This is Mr Khan and his wife who feel understandably
:05:11. > :05:14.insulted, ... I'm not sure she feels it she might objectively be it. We
:05:15. > :05:19.have been waiting for the moments when the irresistible force and
:05:20. > :05:24.immovable force coincided and this is perhaps the moments when Donald
:05:25. > :05:30.Trump's complete incapacity to communicate with people in a basic
:05:31. > :05:34.courteous way suddenly coincides with America's considerable
:05:35. > :05:37.deferments to its veterans and in this instance to the parents of a
:05:38. > :05:43.soldier who was killed in an especially heroic act. As if they
:05:44. > :05:47.could be a more heroic die Lee Mack Way to die, this is a man who went
:05:48. > :05:51.ahead of his own soldiers and died protecting them. And Donald Trump
:05:52. > :05:56.unable to see that perhaps it would be a better idea to keep his big
:05:57. > :06:00.mouth shut shall we say, suggested that because this man's mother
:06:01. > :06:06.didn't speak at the Democratic convention that it was probably some
:06:07. > :06:12.sort of religious... Because she's Muslim she stood behind her husband
:06:13. > :06:15.and let him talk... It didn't seem to have occurred to him or anybody
:06:16. > :06:22.in his PR department that perhaps a bereaved mother might not be able to
:06:23. > :06:26.talk would be on an account of grief rather than religious and it might
:06:27. > :06:33.look crass. Also check your facts. Why start now. You wonder if this is
:06:34. > :06:36.what will be damaging. There is no realistic hope there, everything
:06:37. > :06:41.else has bounced off and last week he apparently was urging Russia to
:06:42. > :06:46.join in hacking an American citizen, Hillary Clinton. His voters hate her
:06:47. > :06:54.so I don't think they would care that they might Yaya Toure but
:06:55. > :06:56.that's a national security issue. Ordinarily any suggestion that
:06:57. > :07:00.President cannot trust national security would be the end of his
:07:01. > :07:06.campaign. I'm not sure however distasteful this is it would be any
:07:07. > :07:12.different. If he were to be elected then surely this rhetoric would
:07:13. > :07:17.stop, the day after when he woke up and thoughts right this is it, he
:07:18. > :07:21.has to be confirmed soon the next day but wouldn't it dawned upon him
:07:22. > :07:30.that we would see a change in his attitudes? I was reading about a
:07:31. > :07:35.lady called Mohammed on the way an and she is a fencing competitor in
:07:36. > :07:39.the Olympics, she is an American and is a Muslim woman with a hijab, she
:07:40. > :07:43.has a good chance of winning a medal and if she could she would be
:07:44. > :07:47.honoured with the stars Stripes, it would be one in the eye for
:07:48. > :07:52.Donald Trump like when Jesse Owens won all of those gold medals in
:07:53. > :07:57.front of Hitler, not that I would compare Donald Trump to Adolf
:07:58. > :08:04.Hitler. One in the eye was something alike. Good background knowledge,
:08:05. > :08:08.nice reading around the subject. It would be great if she could win an
:08:09. > :08:12.Trump would have to salute her. Staying with the Guardian, the AIDS
:08:13. > :08:19.death toll may soar again, why is this? In Africa we are talking.
:08:20. > :08:24.We're talking in the developing world, this is a story because, I
:08:25. > :08:29.was not aware of this, but the US set a target for the end of aids
:08:30. > :08:32.which has been endorsed by lots of governments, Barack Obama said he
:08:33. > :08:37.thought the end was in sight but it seems like this may have been
:08:38. > :08:41.misplaced. There is no figure here for how many future aids death there
:08:42. > :08:45.maybe, 1.5 million a year, it daughter could soar again that
:08:46. > :08:50.nothing definitive. The story is saying that the hope is clearly
:08:51. > :08:53.there until recently that AIDS was on the decline might have been
:08:54. > :09:02.misplaced and will continue at such a high toll or even higher. Can we
:09:03. > :09:09.explain why? A couple of problems to distil a short answer. Not least
:09:10. > :09:16.that the drugs they have been using to treat HIV and AIDS complications
:09:17. > :09:22.in Africa, people developing a resistance so 1 million people die
:09:23. > :09:28.from HIV infections in Africa and 2.1 million people were infected
:09:29. > :09:36.last year, new people. And so it is hard to see those numbers staying
:09:37. > :09:43.low. Unless they find new drugs. It will stay catastrophically high is
:09:44. > :09:47.what I should say. Let us look at three different takes of the real
:09:48. > :09:55.Olympics. Five days' time. Here it is in the Telegraph. -- Rio. Alysia
:09:56. > :10:00.Black who is a British Olympic diver but the story as Russians may be
:10:01. > :10:05.expelled from Rio hours before the start. The IOC handed over
:10:06. > :10:09.responsibility for the Russian athletes to the individual sports
:10:10. > :10:13.governing bodies and now they have had a rethink? The IOC has not
:10:14. > :10:21.covered itself in what should we say administrative glory I would say.
:10:22. > :10:24.Understatedly. Thus having said we have this report which are just a
:10:25. > :10:29.state-sponsored doping has been going on through Russia over several
:10:30. > :10:33.games, and we are going to have the renominate medals from London, and
:10:34. > :10:37.from Athens and Beijing and this is all a disaster and then going well
:10:38. > :10:42.don't worry everybody, you just cheesy you would like to come, don't
:10:43. > :10:47.smite us over here at the Olympics. Did we say the Olympics was in a few
:10:48. > :10:51.days, don't worry about us. And now suddenly they noticed up perhaps
:10:52. > :10:57.people are a bit grouchy about it and it looks a bit bad that the one
:10:58. > :11:02.person you'd definitely bad was the whistle-blower and then everyone
:11:03. > :11:05.else is open to negotiations. They have made such a terrible mess of
:11:06. > :11:10.this, I know we say that for every Olympics and London included and it
:11:11. > :11:14.is and administrative disaster and the games are glorious and we forget
:11:15. > :11:18.what a shambles it is that this looks pretty bad even by the
:11:19. > :11:23.standards of the IOC. The FT in a different direction saying protests
:11:24. > :11:31.in Brazil. These Olympics are costing less than other games. A lot
:11:32. > :11:37.less. What this story says is that with the backlash in Rio against the
:11:38. > :11:42.cost disruption, there is a shorter list of cities that wish to bid to
:11:43. > :11:52.win the Olympics and I know hamburger and some other place --
:11:53. > :11:56.Hamburg and other places, in the future of Western democracies people
:11:57. > :12:02.will not put up the cost of disruption, they will end up in
:12:03. > :12:07.places like Russia and they had an unbelievable bill of $50 billion for
:12:08. > :12:13.the Winter Olympics but Putin's was able to do it and no one could
:12:14. > :12:15.protest. A larger version of the Eurovision Song contest, some
:12:16. > :12:20.countries dread winning because exactly very expensive to stage it
:12:21. > :12:27.and this is many more times the cost. Father Ted, remember when they
:12:28. > :12:30.enter a bad song because they can't afford to host it again, eventually
:12:31. > :12:37.that will happen with the Olympics that people will have to send them
:12:38. > :12:46.east Didsbury primary sport state team and then say no we are terrible
:12:47. > :12:49.at sports. I think they will be expect actual, I'm sorry East
:12:50. > :12:57.Didsbury, I feel bad for that example. They are going to triumph
:12:58. > :12:59.with God medals across the board. There is no legacy, were not
:13:00. > :13:06.promising anything for the youth because it is or is about the
:13:07. > :13:10.legacy. And the Lexi never sees a manifestation which is -- and the
:13:11. > :13:14.legacy never sees manifestation. These Olympics are costing a third
:13:15. > :13:19.of the London games and as much as we loved the games, we can't pretend
:13:20. > :13:28.that they had a huge long-term impact. Finally a picture story,
:13:29. > :13:31.here it is again. Rolling down to Rio and the Independent and a
:13:32. > :13:35.performer from the city 's favelas performing for his role in the
:13:36. > :13:40.opening ceremony. I wouldn't be surprised if that is an example of
:13:41. > :13:45.cap wearer. An amazing photo, not just the extraordinary gym ability
:13:46. > :13:48.but the background as well. I hope this person is delighted about the
:13:49. > :13:52.Olympics because lots of people in the favelas said not because they
:13:53. > :13:56.are the people who have been most disruptive, moved or had barricaded
:13:57. > :14:00.the tub so heaven forbid visitors will learn there are lots of poor
:14:01. > :14:06.people in Rio de Janeiro. Hope it goes well though. So much hope in
:14:07. > :14:12.it. That's it for the sour but of course because it is a Sunday night
:14:13. > :14:16.we are back at half 11 for another look, coming up next it is headlined
:14:17. > :14:24.at the top of the album first mediocre. -- meet the author.
:14:25. > :14:26.Francis Spufford has written dazzling works of nonfiction.
:14:27. > :14:29.And his first novel, Golden Hill, is typically
