28/08/2016 The Papers

Based on a true story about a young man paid by the Pentagon - we will

look at film in the film review. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be With me are Jim Waterson of Buzzfeed

UK and Tim Stanley of A grim outlook for Europe

is headlined on the Express - quoting a warning from

Angela Merkel's deputy, of the consequences

if Brexit is badly handled. The Telegraph says Theresa May

has given pro-EU civil servants their marching orders,

telling them to get The Times reports on the rift

between the Prime Minister and China over the nuclear power

plant at Hinkley. While the i has a special

report on the influence China The Daily Mail accuses

Sir Philip Green of blackmail - saying he's willing to clear BHS's

pension deficit IF the watchdogs The Financial Times has a report

on the spread of Zika And the Daily Star says

a sizzling Bank Holiday Monday I will be presenting the news in my

shorts. It is so hot... We never stop complaining about the weather.

The nuclear future... Theresa May put the reins on it, on the deal

going through? This deal was good to go, on the cusp of signing it and it

shows how ultimately the person at the top has the power. Others have

had strong concerns about the influence of China and if the person

at the top says we are not going to do this, we are not going to do

this. How much further the EU go? -- further to you go? That was as eerie

in the 20s when America rot up infrastructure and at that time

there was a threat to national security. -- brought up. After

Brexit the value of the pound has gone down so it is attractive for

other countries to put money into Britain. As Home Secretary she was

constantly warning about concerns. They were... Will not say dismissed

but suddenly she is Prime Minister. She has to be concerned about the

cost. 18 billion. The Times points out and this is the crux of the

story, the G20 is coming up and this is the first big international event

for Theresa May and it is important that we get some sense of where the

Administration stands when it comes to China. What are the concerns? Is

of human rights, security, China's investment in Britain going too far?

It is difficult to tell. From what we can gather from when she was Home

Secretary, it was concerned about security. Hinkley will go ahead but

others will be put off to allow more time for consideration. Don't

forget, Boris Johnson said he wants to hit reset for relations. We have

a new Prime Minister, one who wants to be in command of everything

stopped she has a reputation as a Micro manager. It could be that not

so much a clear direction but someone finding their way in

international affairs. She has plenty of time to think about it,

LAUGHTER, what an in tray Theresa May has. Civil servants,

particularly in this country, changing the June, they had been

producing the case for Britain staying in the EU and now baby to

work out how to make this work. -- they need to work out. Lawyers in

the city saying and calling to them to come to work for them. We are

building whole new departments out of nothing. David Davis is keen to

get an important address file his department... Really low level... A

new door to his office... I think he denied that. Clearly divisions on

how to press on with Brexit. But it is also the Cabinet? Yes, Whitehall

emerged as having sources complaining that civil servants are

not happy about Brexit and are not being helpful. Gus O'Donnell is,

Lord O'Donnell, cat out and said it does not necessarily have to happen.

The EU may reform and we may end up delaying it. We may be entering

Humphrey B territorial, that is the fear. Theresa May turning to lawyers

to see if she had to could she put a vote to the comments. The referendum

was binding. It was there in the government language. The government

will implement it. The people have told Parliament what they wanted to

do and they have to get on with it. There will doubtless be elementary

manoeuvres but it will happen. She was right to establish that. You get

feedback from your readers, did you get any sense at there are concerns,

warriors, confusion? It is a weird thing we do with governments in this

country. We think someone is ultimately going to sort it out and

that is the mentality I am picking up. The main readership Borrie about

what happens now that for the majority, people are thinking, we

are a out, aren't we? There will only be bothered if in a few years

time it is not what they imagined was coming. In the Daily Express, as

the warnings from Angela Merkel's Chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, that if

this is not done properly, the whole of Europe could go down the drain? I

still cannot tell whether this is a warning or a celebration from the

Daily Express! LAUGHTER we will have odd coverage for the next couple of

years while we work out what sort of deal we will work out. Comments by

anyone... A secret German plot, a new direction, a Brussels rearguard

action... She is almost seen as the woman holding the EU to gather. The

refugee crisis... She has elections coming up, France has elections

coming up and we do not even know who we will be dealing with. Germany

has a dynamic economy still going on which absolutely dominates so it is

understandable it is a linchpin... Some other countries

strengthening... A lot of Richards felt that the EU kept on saying we

love you but if you try to reform, we will kill you. And they are doing

it again. Again, it is the old double standard. Half way is towards

them. Interesting analysis. In the Scottish Daily Mail, the front page

on Sir Philip Green accused of blackmail. His handling of the BHS

and the pension scheme. This... You could have done this a lot earlier

if he was really bothered by this. Now he is protecting his reputation.

It is odd in some ways, I cannot imagine ten years on from when he

got his knighthood that someone in his position would be given a

knighthood. The days when you are an incredibly rich businessman and you

are celebrated... I cannot imagine having the equivalent today. The

final BHS stores have closed today. We are now just picking up the

pieces. It is whether or not he is made to offer for its full of

whether he can deal with the investigations and salvage his

reputation. 22,000 staff affected, they are the real victors. The

unacceptable case of capitalism, that is that the Fraser years. Given

that senior Labour figures who argue Sir Richard Branson - He with

ethical - should have his night would taken away... The Financial

Times reports on Singapore suffering outbreak of Zika. Scientists did

warn us? It is the idea that this awful disease has the effect of

effecting babies when they are born and living with them with small

heads and deformities. It has taken hold in bits of Florida and in

particular in Brazil but there is a fear about where it is going to

spread next and there is a small cluster in Singapore. The extent to

which we can contain it and do anything about it, to identify who

has it earlier, to get drugs in place, but we are all terrified it

is something that can come and get us and we can do nothing about it.

Ultimately what you can do as an individual is nothing. Thank you for

that! Some concerns that Theresa May has? Throughout history, when ever

there has been investment in Britain, they have been concerned

about the ramifications. -- at there are have been. We are seeing China

go through that now. It is reasonable to be concerned. State

and enterprises and China is not the kind of democracy we are. It has not

stopped us doing business. We have not stopped doing business with

Saudi Arabia and other countries. If Britain is open for business, it is

fantastic but were Ross Peraudo a Liberal democracy will with certain

standards. They are looking into Aston Villa so that if a major

concern. Have a great Bank Holiday weekend and enjoy the sunshine. The

film review is next.
