:00:00. > :00:07.of the final cricket one day international between England and

:00:08. > :00:18.Pakistan. But that is all of the sport for now. Now, the papers.

:00:19. > :00:24.Welcome to the Sunday morning edition of the newspapers. Joining

:00:25. > :00:28.me, Robert Fox, defends editor for the London Evening Standard, and

:00:29. > :00:38.Eleanor Mills, editorial director of the Sunday Times. Front pages:

:00:39. > :00:41.The Observer reports that a British warship is on its way to Libya to

:00:42. > :00:43.intercept and arrest people smugglers aiding the flow of

:00:44. > :00:46.migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean. The Mail On Sunday

:00:47. > :00:49.claims that migrants from the Calais Jungle camp are causing crashes, on

:00:50. > :00:51.the roads to the French port, as they try to get to Britain. The

:00:52. > :00:54.Sunday Express says the Prime Minister has been warned to get

:00:55. > :00:58."undressed under the duvet" to avoid being snooped on by Chinese spies at

:00:59. > :01:02.the forthcoming G20 summit. The mind boggles on that one! The Sunday

:01:03. > :01:04.Telegraph covers news that the number of youngsters diagnosed with

:01:05. > :01:06.cancer has by 40 per cent in the last sixteen years, apparently

:01:07. > :01:08.because of air pollution, pesticides and poor diet. The Sunday Times

:01:09. > :01:10.reports on the revelation by Scotland's First Minister, Nicola

:01:11. > :01:12.Sturgeon, that she suffered a miscarriage six years ago in the

:01:13. > :01:15.early stages of pregnancy. And there are allegations in the Sunday Mirror

:01:16. > :01:16.that the Labour MP, Keith Vaz has paid for the services of male

:01:17. > :01:36.escorts. Let's begin, the Sunday Times.

:01:37. > :01:45.Theresa May is in China at the G20, we have a story about a new Chinese

:01:46. > :01:49.security row, the company called global switch, owned by the Rubens

:01:50. > :01:54.Brothers, at the top of the Rich list. They basically they are hosts

:01:55. > :01:59.of computer networks. -- Global Switch. Networks of banks and

:02:00. > :02:04.government, everything that makes the Internet work. They Chinese

:02:05. > :02:06.companies trying to buy a 50% stake. All sorts of questions being raised

:02:07. > :02:14.about security issues surrounding that. Also hanging over the head of

:02:15. > :02:18.Theresa May, Hinkley Point, that she allowed the Chinese to invest in

:02:19. > :02:24.that? There is a growing row about the strategic importance of China,

:02:25. > :02:28.how much do we let China into our most precious secrets, our most

:02:29. > :02:33.precious resources, energy, Internet, all of that, how far can

:02:34. > :02:38.we trust them? There is the new Prime Minister, in the middle of all

:02:39. > :02:42.of that. The suspicion of China is what is coming three all of that. --

:02:43. > :02:48.coming through all of that. Important trip, warnings coming out

:02:49. > :02:51.that Brexit is not only mean Brexit but also means poorer, she is

:02:52. > :02:56.desperate to get investment, talks of trade deals with Australia, you

:02:57. > :03:00.may as well wait for the time that the moon turns to green cheese

:03:01. > :03:05.before you will get special deals! China is with her, for two reasons,

:03:06. > :03:11.one, as Eleanor has flagged up, it is a big security question, massive

:03:12. > :03:14.security question, this is just a symptom of it, particularly over

:03:15. > :03:17.Hinkley Point, if they get into Hinkley Point, they get into what a

:03:18. > :03:22.friend of mine has called the British version of the big state,

:03:23. > :03:26.nuclear, the nuclear military, the nuclear civil, they weave in and

:03:27. > :03:31.out, which even for people who have been watching it for decades,

:03:32. > :03:34.dinosaurs like myself, they find it very difficult to know what is going

:03:35. > :03:42.on, there is real alarm about it, but back to Brexit and money, there

:03:43. > :03:46.is two large economies which are stacking up huge surpluses, how do

:03:47. > :03:52.we get into it? We are faced with dreadful figures, one is Germany,

:03:53. > :03:57.the other is China. China do not like foreign companies buying in.

:03:58. > :04:02.This week, all of the statistic post Brexit have been up, it is

:04:03. > :04:06.manufacturing up, house prices up, you say to his huge headwinds, I

:04:07. > :04:10.think, looking at the facts over the last few weeks, it has not been

:04:11. > :04:15.gloom and doom. But that is quotidian news, it is what is coming

:04:16. > :04:18.down the news. -- coming down the line. As we were talking about, real

:04:19. > :04:26.problems within the EU,. Talk of real strong trade deals with

:04:27. > :04:32.a lot of partners who find it difficult to negotiate with the EU.

:04:33. > :04:38.Who is going to do the deals? LAUGHTER

:04:39. > :04:42.Nobody knows how to do them. You mention Hinkley Point, right up

:04:43. > :04:46.there on the agenda, a lot of this, what happens now, particularly with

:04:47. > :04:50.China, and the new Prime Minister, will set the tone, will set the

:04:51. > :04:53.relationship, whether that is going to be an abrasive relationship or a

:04:54. > :05:03.religion ship that can come to something. Such wariness around

:05:04. > :05:07.China as well. Seem to be opened or five years ago, we worried about

:05:08. > :05:14.what is going on in the Pacific, the South China see, the atolls, very

:05:15. > :05:17.powerful, aggressive phase, where they are saying, not that they want

:05:18. > :05:21.to take over the world military but they will not be bossed around and

:05:22. > :05:24.criticised. -- South China Sea. They do not care about human rights

:05:25. > :05:28.agenda, we are seeing this right through the piece, very disturbing

:05:29. > :05:33.things like the book-sellers of Hong Kong, relatively small in

:05:34. > :05:38.themselves, but indicative of a whole lot more. A huge amount to get

:05:39. > :05:44.through, you guys have been very diligent with your look, moving to

:05:45. > :05:53.the Observer. Talking about Brexit, whatever got here? -- what have we

:05:54. > :05:59.got here? This says that Brexit, Margaret Thatcher would be very

:06:00. > :06:05.against Brexit, this was run back in my newspaper, back in February, this

:06:06. > :06:10.has been massively denied, in fact, Bill Cash said he had a letter from

:06:11. > :06:14.Thatcher saying that the project was contrary to British interests and

:06:15. > :06:17.damaging to Parliamentary democracy, and she wanted to get out, I don't

:06:18. > :06:21.quite understand why the Observer are using this story, putting this

:06:22. > :06:27.story on the front page again, this is an old story, Charles Powell

:06:28. > :06:32.saying that Thatcher would be anti-Brexit, a lot of Thatcherites

:06:33. > :06:43.completely dispute that. Current story, people smugglers being

:06:44. > :06:49.targeted. This is the apparent... We are going to send a fleet of

:06:50. > :06:56.ships... The HMS is going to go to Libya, to try to catch 100 people

:06:57. > :07:00.smugglers. We had 3100 deaths this year, people coming in from Libya on

:07:01. > :07:06.boats, 13,000 people came over last week, a real problem, and it seems

:07:07. > :07:09.to be that they are saying they will send people down there to catch the

:07:10. > :07:13.people smugglers in Libya. I would say that is practically impossible,

:07:14. > :07:16.when you get there, you will deny that they were our people smugglers,

:07:17. > :07:21.the people smugglers themselves do not even get on the boat, they put

:07:22. > :07:27.the refugees on the boats and they tell a refugee that if they are in

:07:28. > :07:30.charge, steering the ship, with the mobile phone, they can get their

:07:31. > :07:37.half-price. The premise is what needs to be targeted. Stop those who

:07:38. > :07:42.are smuggling in the first place. Will it make any difference? There

:07:43. > :07:46.is a very bad record on this, we will always going to get the missed

:07:47. > :07:49.a bigs, especially when we had the scandal of the people coming across

:07:50. > :07:55.the Aegean Sea, we said that we were going to get smugglers back to

:07:56. > :07:59.Somali pirates and the Indian Ocean and all of that. -- Mr Bigs. What

:08:00. > :08:02.are they really doing, HMS Diamond will just have to pick up people

:08:03. > :08:07.because that is what the law of the sea is. And the Charter of human

:08:08. > :08:11.rights. They are not getting anywhere near it. What is very

:08:12. > :08:19.dangerous, this is turning into a 3-way contest, because there is a

:08:20. > :08:21.bit of shooting going on from what there is, and goodness knows who

:08:22. > :08:27.they really answer to, of the Libyan Navy. At the same time, you have

:08:28. > :08:36.American warships and an American led flotilla flying off to attack

:08:37. > :08:40.Isis, I think this is an awful lot of window dressing. The bit they

:08:41. > :08:46.have not got into, you are right, ten to 13,000, it is a large number

:08:47. > :08:52.being picked up, they are being shipped off to Sicily. Not hearing

:08:53. > :08:58.nearly enough about this, what happens? Lampedusa, Malta,

:08:59. > :09:01.completely overcrowded, moving them to the other big islands, like

:09:02. > :09:06.Sardinia, I do not know what will happen there will stop Corsica,

:09:07. > :09:13.relatively underpopulated. This is where they disappear and this is

:09:14. > :09:19.where numbers are quite boggling. They managed to close down the

:09:20. > :09:23.route, so they are going around the other way... As we were discussing

:09:24. > :09:28.before coming on air, this is a very different dynamic but it is a global

:09:29. > :09:33.phenomenon, and it is going on for a long time. Yes, we understand why

:09:34. > :09:37.ships are being sent down but it is not going to work. Leaving that,

:09:38. > :09:42.moving on to the Telegraph, modern life is killing children. This is

:09:43. > :09:46.one of those stories, of course it is all for that cancer rates among

:09:47. > :09:54.under 16s are up 40% but it makes you feel a bit despairing. Modern

:09:55. > :10:00.life is killing children. Bernd barbecues, electric fields, power

:10:01. > :10:06.lines, hairdryers... It really could not... It could not be any more

:10:07. > :10:10.depressing, air pollution, solvents, obesity, basically everything that

:10:11. > :10:15.any of us have ever used. Could it just be really good cancer

:10:16. > :10:20.detection? Very possible. This is a statistic story, it has come from

:10:21. > :10:22.statistics, from professor Dennis Central of Bristol University, his

:10:23. > :10:29.statistics are showing something that is alarming, up annually from

:10:30. > :10:37.ten children, contracting serious cancer, out of 100,000, up to 14,

:10:38. > :10:42.even in some areas 60. -- 40, 60. Improved detection we thought we

:10:43. > :10:48.were getting to a better stage of getting it early earlier on. This is

:10:49. > :10:52.worrying. From a journalistic point of view, it is written in a mad way,

:10:53. > :10:56.it is everything, apparently, you should not decorate your baby 's

:10:57. > :11:02.room, there is a danger for the paint, whatever you do, and yes, you

:11:03. > :11:05.should send them to school, playgroups, very early on, that is

:11:06. > :11:12.the way that they will contract diseases! Would you believe it, that

:11:13. > :11:15.is good for their immune system. That is a shopping trolley of a

:11:16. > :11:21.story. Especially when you read the list there are, a lot of people will

:11:22. > :11:29.be affected! It is not anything that anybody can do anything about. It is

:11:30. > :11:35.a despair story. Looking at the mail, this story here, Calle, very

:11:36. > :11:42.briefly, I want to get onto your story of Nicola Sturgeon, very

:11:43. > :11:50.worrying, quite frightening. Congratulations, the BBC has done

:11:51. > :11:53.some superb reporting. In a life-threatening situation, an

:11:54. > :11:58.accident caused by one of these gangs, of the refugees, from the

:11:59. > :12:03.jungle at Calais, moving along through their windscreen, collided

:12:04. > :12:08.with a truck, driven by a Hungarian, and I think that it is really...

:12:09. > :12:13.There is a crisis blowing up with the jungle, because the French

:12:14. > :12:18.Minister of the interior has said that they intend to close it down,

:12:19. > :12:24.they will do that soon, they have been talking about it for weeks. Not

:12:25. > :12:31.much time left, Nicola Sturgeon. The story in your magazine this week.

:12:32. > :12:35.I'm the editor of the Sunday Times Magazine, we have this moving story

:12:36. > :12:39.about Nicola Sturgeon, she had a miscarriage back in 2011, she has

:12:40. > :12:43.let the story come out because there has been so much around female

:12:44. > :12:47.politicians being childless, allegations levelled at her that she

:12:48. > :12:50.was too ambitious to have a family and she sees herself as a role model

:12:51. > :12:54.and would like young women to know that she wanted to have children and

:12:55. > :12:57.it did not happen for her, and that having a family is not

:12:58. > :13:04.irreconcilable with being First Minister. Very strong woman. All

:13:05. > :13:09.strong women, as we know, can also be vulnerable, this is a very

:13:10. > :13:12.personal story, but it is interesting and to her credit that

:13:13. > :13:19.she would like people to know this. There may also be some politics in

:13:20. > :13:31.this, in that... It is... Second referendum coming up, if she could

:13:32. > :13:35.win the deficit. I thought that sweetness and light was the order of

:13:36. > :13:41.the day with Brexit and Scotland. She does wonderfully well for this.

:13:42. > :13:48.Fascinating interview. She shows that she is a real politician. The

:13:49. > :13:52.fascinating thing about this, Ruth Davidson, it is not that they let it

:13:53. > :13:56.all hang out, they are real people, in a way that we are lacking in the

:13:57. > :14:04.village of Westminster. Not afraid to tell you, either. Lovely piece.

:14:05. > :14:07.Theresa May can learn something from the incredibly skilful way in which

:14:08. > :14:12.Nicola Sturgeon handles the media. Good of you both to come in for the

:14:13. > :14:17.newspapers, thank you very much. We will see you again soon. Don't

:14:18. > :14:23.forget, we have the newspapers every night here on BBC News. Now we will

:14:24. > :14:27.go to the Vatican, more than 100,000 pilgrims are gathering to watch Pope

:14:28. > :14:33.Francis, who has just formally declared Mother Teresa a saint.

:14:34. > :14:37.Mother Teresa, the nun who dedicated her life to helping the poor and

:14:38. > :14:41.sick in India. She is now Saint Teresa of Calcutta.

:14:42. > :14:45.Plenty more on all of that after the top of the hour, but here is the

:14:46. > :14:54.weather. On the whole, a better day for

:14:55. > :14:55.today, fantastic weather watchers
