:00:56. > :00:57.And Britain is guaranteed at least a silver in the tennis,

:01:24. > :01:26.new film releases, including the remake of the Disney classic

:01:27. > :01:56.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:01:57. > :01:59.With me are Caroline Wheeler, who is the political editor

:02:00. > :02:01.at the Sunday Express, and Ben Chu, who is Economics editor

:02:02. > :02:09.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the Observer,

:02:10. > :02:12.which features an interview with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn,

:02:13. > :02:14.in which he criticises his deputy Tom Watson.

:02:15. > :02:16.A poll for the Independent suggests Prime Minister Theresa May

:02:17. > :02:18.is Britain's most popular politician, and is even regarded

:02:19. > :02:20.positively by 20% of Labour supporters.

:02:21. > :02:33.The Sunday Telegraph has seen a leaked letter

:02:34. > :02:35.from the International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox,

:02:36. > :02:38.which suggests he and Boris Johnson are arguing about who controls key

:02:39. > :02:41.The Sunday Express announces that Princess Eugenie will be

:02:42. > :02:53.Her mother, the Duchess of York, says Eugenie and her partner have

:02:54. > :02:57.The Mail on Sunday shows cyclist Laura Trott and her team-mate

:02:58. > :02:59.Elinor Barker celebrating after Trott became the first British

:03:00. > :03:01.woman to win three Olympic gold medals.

:03:02. > :03:04.And the Sunday Times's lead story is about private briefings

:03:05. > :03:08.by Government ministers to City executives that Britain could remain

:03:09. > :03:11.a member of the EU until late 2019, a year

:03:12. > :03:22.later than previously anticipated.

:03:23. > :03:30.So let's kick off with that story in the Sunday Times. What do you make

:03:31. > :03:34.of that? Brexit will be delayed until the end of 2019. We never

:03:35. > :03:45.really knew when it was going to be. We knew that two years probably

:03:46. > :03:49.after the triggering of Article 50. Theresa May says Brexit means

:03:50. > :03:53.Brexit, not as you say she didn't say when. It takes two years to

:03:54. > :03:56.hammer out how you are going to leave and interestingly it is only

:03:57. > :04:00.after that process when you are allowed to have normal talks on

:04:01. > :04:07.trade negotiations with the rest of the EU after that. So they can do

:04:08. > :04:10.preparatory talks but nothing solid until after you have left the EU so

:04:11. > :04:14.the fact it has been delayed is very significant. This means an even

:04:15. > :04:19.longer period of uncertainty about what sort of relations the EU will

:04:20. > :04:24.have with us. Will that frustrate some of your readers who voted

:04:25. > :04:27.Brexit? Absolutely, this has always been the discussion point about when

:04:28. > :04:32.we are actually going to leave. One of the things about this is the talk

:04:33. > :04:36.about delaying it into 2019, which would only be one year away from the

:04:37. > :04:40.general election, which given the general support that Brexit was

:04:41. > :04:44.given, having won with 50% of the vote, that would be quite a

:04:45. > :04:46.dangerous strategy for Theresa May to take and there are already some

:04:47. > :04:52.quotes from Nigel Farage who is basically suggest in this would be a

:04:53. > :04:56.betrayal for those who backed Brexit and people would take to the streets

:04:57. > :05:00.in protest if this were actually the case. But it is not the first time

:05:01. > :05:06.this suggestion about the delay has been mooted, in fact it was

:05:07. > :05:09.suggested earlier in the week that they would delay triggering Article

:05:10. > :05:13.50 until after the elections in France and Germany, sort of saying

:05:14. > :05:16.that Paris and Berlin would give Britain a better deal, less of an

:05:17. > :05:22.indication they would have to look tough but they would be more

:05:23. > :05:25.sympathetic to our demands. Also on the Brexit story, the Sunday

:05:26. > :05:30.Telegraph has the row between the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson,

:05:31. > :05:34.and Liam Fox, the trade Secretary. You could argue it is two bald man

:05:35. > :05:40.arguing over a comb given they can't do anything until they have done

:05:41. > :05:44.Article 50 and left the EU. But what they are arguing about is who gets

:05:45. > :05:50.to call the economic shots in this Brexit game. Fox has written a

:05:51. > :05:55.letter to Johnson and copied in Theresa May, copying in the boss is

:05:56. > :05:59.quite a clever move. He was not impressed by this particular spat on

:06:00. > :06:02.here saying hand over the economic functions of the Foreign Office to

:06:03. > :06:06.me because that is what I should be doing, and you should be looking

:06:07. > :06:13.after the spies and the diplomacy, which is presumably playing to Boris

:06:14. > :06:18.Johnson's strengths. There have always been differences between

:06:19. > :06:21.Maurice Johnson and Liam Fox and I guess Theresa May must have known

:06:22. > :06:28.that when she appointed them. And also David Davis, the other

:06:29. > :06:33.Brexiteer in the government, they are the Three Brexiteers. It was all

:06:34. > :06:38.about how soon we would see the sparks fly. The suggestion is that

:06:39. > :06:42.Horace Johnson is good at going out on being the ambassador for Britain,

:06:43. > :06:52.rubbing shoulders with the Chinese, who love them, chatting away over

:06:53. > :06:56.the Ferrero Rocher. But you can imagine Liam is a bit frustrated

:06:57. > :06:59.because as you said we can only get to the nitty-gritty of the trade

:07:00. > :07:02.deals once we have actually left, and as we have seen in the Sunday

:07:03. > :07:08.Times the suggestion is that that has moved later and later on, so

:07:09. > :07:13.what is Liam's roll going to be? He can put his feet up until then and

:07:14. > :07:18.he has said he wants a role in this, I want something to do. Sparks

:07:19. > :07:21.flying in the government and also in the Labour Party, the interview with

:07:22. > :07:30.Jeremy Corbyn saying that Tom Watson, his Secretary, is talking

:07:31. > :07:36.nonsense about Trotskyite influences in the party. This is one of the

:07:37. > :07:40.differences between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, they both have a

:07:41. > :07:44.mandate and were elected to have completely collapsed in the last few

:07:45. > :07:48.days. Tom Watson gave an interview last week saying young arms are

:07:49. > :07:51.being twisted by older hands, implying that what is going on in

:07:52. > :07:57.the Labour Party is a manoeuvre by the hard left and there is not a

:07:58. > :08:01.surge of enthusiasm for Jeremy Corbyn so much as a hard left

:08:02. > :08:06.takeover. Jeremy Corbyn says that is absolute nonsense, and that Tom

:08:07. > :08:10.Watson knows it is nonsense. It seems that the relationship between

:08:11. > :08:15.these two key figures has completely broken down. There is also the story

:08:16. > :08:24.in the Sunday Times about Labour like Listing 1000 members --

:08:25. > :08:27.blacklisting 1000 members a day, as they try and stop members of rival

:08:28. > :08:35.parties and hard left factions influencing the party leadership

:08:36. > :08:43.contest. This is part of the same story, Corbyn is saying this is

:08:44. > :08:49.nonsense, there are an zero these entrists, and the response is that

:08:50. > :08:53.it is happening and there is what is described as a Trot hunt, they are

:08:54. > :08:58.weeding out these people trying to infiltrate the party when they are

:08:59. > :09:02.not pure Labour Party members. All of this is a fight for the heart and

:09:03. > :09:06.soul of the party, we have seen this to all the way to the High Court. We

:09:07. > :09:11.have seen it go to the High Court, the appeal Court, maybe the Supreme

:09:12. > :09:16.Court as well and Jeremy Corbyn is saying that is on the cards, about

:09:17. > :09:19.whether they can stop this 130,000 people who will get a vote on the

:09:20. > :09:24.leadership contest, and whether or not he can win that battle and get

:09:25. > :09:28.them to support him. Let's go on to the Mail on Sunday, because they

:09:29. > :09:34.have an interesting story about a new police unit to crack down

:09:35. > :09:43.controls on social media, a Twitter squad they have been nicknamed -- on

:09:44. > :09:46.trolls. What do you think of that? A lot of people will look at that

:09:47. > :09:52.Twitter squad and think it is about time as well. There is so much abuse

:09:53. > :09:55.that goes on on Twitter, so much while stuff lying around targeting

:09:56. > :09:58.women and public figures that it seems like the whole thing is out of

:09:59. > :10:03.control. There has been a lot of pressure on the Met and other police

:10:04. > :10:07.forces to do something about it, not to let this go under the radar or

:10:08. > :10:12.unchallenged. The Mail on Sunday takes a very different view, calling

:10:13. > :10:16.it the thought police, saying that tweets will be policed and police

:10:17. > :10:23.will be clamping down on petty jokes and nonserious insults, whatever.

:10:24. > :10:28.That is their view. A lot of people will take a different view. What is

:10:29. > :10:33.your view, do you think it is worthwhile? I totally do, having

:10:34. > :10:36.spoken to so many MPs who have been at the end of this kind of

:10:37. > :10:40.absolutely desperate trolling. It is really nasty stuff and it is not

:10:41. > :10:44.only not very nice, it is really like, is someone going to hurt a

:10:45. > :10:48.member of my family or do something very unpleasant to me? I think the

:10:49. > :10:53.fact that Scotland Yard are going to take this man is generally to be

:10:54. > :10:56.welcomed, although if you read the pages of the Mail on Sunday they

:10:57. > :11:01.have built this up as a story and then poured cold water all over it,

:11:02. > :11:07.which is an interesting tactic. It is an interesting tactic. Let's look

:11:08. > :11:13.at the express, your paper. You have a story about cuts to chemist shops.

:11:14. > :11:16.This story has been bubbling away for a while. Basically Budget cuts

:11:17. > :11:19.were announced for independent pharmacist earlier in the year at

:11:20. > :11:24.the former pharmacy minister suggested that this could result in

:11:25. > :11:28.the closure of 3000 chemist. The whole policy has been up in the air

:11:29. > :11:35.for some time, a decision was due to be made in July but hopes are now

:11:36. > :11:40.rising that Theresa May is going to drop the proposals. It comes as she

:11:41. > :11:45.speaks to her pharmacist just days after becoming Prime Minister, and

:11:46. > :11:48.he believed she wouldn't just wave through these cuts. It is very much

:11:49. > :11:54.a kind of wait and see. Obviously she has a lot of policy to look at

:11:55. > :11:59.and consider. It may not be until Parliament resumes before we see a

:12:00. > :12:08.conclusive answer to this one. The Express also have on their front

:12:09. > :12:14.page, Eugenie is to marry, a world exclusive. And she is eighth in line

:12:15. > :12:17.to the throne, so she is obviously a very significant member of the Royal

:12:18. > :12:21.Family for the top I have also discovered she does a lot of

:12:22. > :12:27.holidays. She is an Olympian level of holidaymaker, this royal. She has

:12:28. > :12:32.been a way I think it is 17 times in the last 15 months, something crazy

:12:33. > :12:37.like that. So is she going to marry, is she not going to marry? It may

:12:38. > :12:41.not happen, according to the statement from her mother. The

:12:42. > :12:45.statement from our royal correspondent, who spoke to a

:12:46. > :12:54.spokesman for Sarah the Duchess of York, they are a couple, but there

:12:55. > :12:59.are no plans for them to get married next year. What I can tell you about

:13:00. > :13:03.this story, not having been party to it during the course of it, it is

:13:04. > :13:07.written by probably one of the best royal correspondent in the business.

:13:08. > :13:12.Her sources are absolutely impeccable, and again, we wouldn't

:13:13. > :13:16.put that kind of story on our front page with a big banner saying world

:13:17. > :13:20.exclusive if there wasn't some truth to it. From what we understand the

:13:21. > :13:23.parents had been informed of their plans to marry and they are

:13:24. > :13:27.renovating an apartment in which they will go on to live. I think it

:13:28. > :13:31.is one of those situations where when is a plan to marry a plan to

:13:32. > :13:34.marry? Is it when you say you are thinking of getting married, when

:13:35. > :13:39.you put the ring on the finger, or when you actually walked down the

:13:40. > :13:42.aisle? I think watch this space on this one. It is definitely the mood

:13:43. > :13:49.music coming from the palace that there is something in the offing. It

:13:50. > :13:53.is definitely a maybe. Let's finally talk about the Olympics which are

:13:54. > :14:01.going rather well. Third in the medal table. Third in the medal

:14:02. > :14:04.table, almost as good as in London, which when you think about it is

:14:05. > :14:09.incredible. Considering that was a big one, all that money, all that

:14:10. > :14:13.pressure, all that enthusiasm, and all that support on home soil as

:14:14. > :14:19.well. It seems to have extended another four years, which is great.

:14:20. > :14:24.And the cyclist, those who did well got extra funding, so it makes sense

:14:25. > :14:29.that that success might continue. The point has been made that cycling

:14:30. > :14:38.is just a medals machine for GB, and I don't think there is much call to

:14:39. > :14:42.stop funding it now continuing -- considering it continues to deliver

:14:43. > :14:45.and deliver. Given the size of Great Britain, if you consider the

:14:46. > :14:49.powerhouses we are competing against, to be third in the medals

:14:50. > :14:53.table is absolutely astonishing and more medals in the offing. We still

:14:54. > :14:56.haven't seen our track and field events which we traditionally do

:14:57. > :15:02.quite well at so this could be an absolutely number year for us. It is

:15:03. > :15:08.difficult times, you have to stay up through the night. I haven't caught

:15:09. > :15:13.much at work this week, but may son is a fan of the diving. Tom Daley

:15:14. > :15:17.has a lot to answer for, as he throws himself into the pool from

:15:18. > :15:22.ever increasing heights. Maybe he will get a gold medal in a few

:15:23. > :15:26.years' time. Thank you for being with us to review the papers. Coming

:15:27. > :15:27.up next on BBC News is the film
