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