Pakistan. But that is all of the sport for now. Now, the papers. | :00:08. | :00:18. | |
Welcome to the Sunday morning edition of the newspapers. Joining | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
me, Robert Fox, defends editor for the London Evening Standard, and | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Eleanor Mills, editorial director of the Sunday Times. Front pages: | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
The Observer reports that a British warship is on its way to Libya to | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
intercept and arrest people smugglers aiding the flow of | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean. The Mail On Sunday | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
claims that migrants from the Calais Jungle camp are causing crashes, on | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the roads to the French port, as they try to get to Britain. The | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Sunday Express says the Prime Minister has been warned to get | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
"undressed under the duvet" to avoid being snooped on by Chinese spies at | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
the forthcoming G20 summit. The mind boggles on that one! The Sunday | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Telegraph covers news that the number of youngsters diagnosed with | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
cancer has by 40 per cent in the last sixteen years, apparently | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
because of air pollution, pesticides and poor diet. The Sunday Times | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
reports on the revelation by Scotland's First Minister, Nicola | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
Sturgeon, that she suffered a miscarriage six years ago in the | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
early stages of pregnancy. And there are allegations in the Sunday Mirror | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
that the Labour MP, Keith Vaz has paid for the services of male | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
escorts. Let's begin, the Sunday Times. | :01:17. | :01:36. | |
Theresa May is in China at the G20, we have a story about a new Chinese | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
security row, the company called global switch, owned by the Rubens | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Brothers, at the top of the Rich list. They basically they are hosts | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
of computer networks. -- Global Switch. Networks of banks and | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
government, everything that makes the Internet work. They Chinese | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
companies trying to buy a 50% stake. All sorts of questions being raised | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
about security issues surrounding that. Also hanging over the head of | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
Theresa May, Hinkley Point, that she allowed the Chinese to invest in | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
that? There is a growing row about the strategic importance of China, | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
how much do we let China into our most precious secrets, our most | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
precious resources, energy, Internet, all of that, how far can | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
we trust them? There is the new Prime Minister, in the middle of all | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
of that. The suspicion of China is what is coming three all of that. -- | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
coming through all of that. Important trip, warnings coming out | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
that Brexit is not only mean Brexit but also means poorer, she is | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
desperate to get investment, talks of trade deals with Australia, you | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
may as well wait for the time that the moon turns to green cheese | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
before you will get special deals! China is with her, for two reasons, | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
one, as Eleanor has flagged up, it is a big security question, massive | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
security question, this is just a symptom of it, particularly over | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Hinkley Point, if they get into Hinkley Point, they get into what a | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
friend of mine has called the British version of the big state, | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
nuclear, the nuclear military, the nuclear civil, they weave in and | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
out, which even for people who have been watching it for decades, | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
dinosaurs like myself, they find it very difficult to know what is going | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
on, there is real alarm about it, but back to Brexit and money, there | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
is two large economies which are stacking up huge surpluses, how do | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
we get into it? We are faced with dreadful figures, one is Germany, | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
the other is China. China do not like foreign companies buying in. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
This week, all of the statistic post Brexit have been up, it is | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
manufacturing up, house prices up, you say to his huge headwinds, I | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
think, looking at the facts over the last few weeks, it has not been | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
gloom and doom. But that is quotidian news, it is what is coming | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
down the news. -- coming down the line. As we were talking about, real | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
problems within the EU,. Talk of real strong trade deals with | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
a lot of partners who find it difficult to negotiate with the EU. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Who is going to do the deals? LAUGHTER | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Nobody knows how to do them. You mention Hinkley Point, right up | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
there on the agenda, a lot of this, what happens now, particularly with | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
China, and the new Prime Minister, will set the tone, will set the | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
relationship, whether that is going to be an abrasive relationship or a | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
religion ship that can come to something. Such wariness around | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
China as well. Seem to be opened or five years ago, we worried about | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
what is going on in the Pacific, the South China see, the atolls, very | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
powerful, aggressive phase, where they are saying, not that they want | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
to take over the world military but they will not be bossed around and | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
criticised. -- South China Sea. They do not care about human rights | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
agenda, we are seeing this right through the piece, very disturbing | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
things like the book-sellers of Hong Kong, relatively small in | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
themselves, but indicative of a whole lot more. A huge amount to get | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
through, you guys have been very diligent with your look, moving to | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
the Observer. Talking about Brexit, whatever got here? -- what have we | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
got here? This says that Brexit, Margaret Thatcher would be very | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
against Brexit, this was run back in my newspaper, back in February, this | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
has been massively denied, in fact, Bill Cash said he had a letter from | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Thatcher saying that the project was contrary to British interests and | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
damaging to Parliamentary democracy, and she wanted to get out, I don't | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
quite understand why the Observer are using this story, putting this | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
story on the front page again, this is an old story, Charles Powell | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
saying that Thatcher would be anti-Brexit, a lot of Thatcherites | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
completely dispute that. Current story, people smugglers being | :06:33. | :06:43. | |
targeted. This is the apparent... We are going to send a fleet of | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
ships... The HMS is going to go to Libya, to try to catch 100 people | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
smugglers. We had 3100 deaths this year, people coming in from Libya on | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
boats, 13,000 people came over last week, a real problem, and it seems | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
to be that they are saying they will send people down there to catch the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
people smugglers in Libya. I would say that is practically impossible, | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
when you get there, you will deny that they were our people smugglers, | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
the people smugglers themselves do not even get on the boat, they put | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the refugees on the boats and they tell a refugee that if they are in | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
charge, steering the ship, with the mobile phone, they can get their | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
half-price. The premise is what needs to be targeted. Stop those who | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
are smuggling in the first place. Will it make any difference? There | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
is a very bad record on this, we will always going to get the missed | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
a bigs, especially when we had the scandal of the people coming across | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
the Aegean Sea, we said that we were going to get smugglers back to | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Somali pirates and the Indian Ocean and all of that. -- Mr Bigs. What | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
are they really doing, HMS Diamond will just have to pick up people | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
because that is what the law of the sea is. And the Charter of human | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
rights. They are not getting anywhere near it. What is very | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
dangerous, this is turning into a 3-way contest, because there is a | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
bit of shooting going on from what there is, and goodness knows who | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
they really answer to, of the Libyan Navy. At the same time, you have | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
American warships and an American led flotilla flying off to attack | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
Isis, I think this is an awful lot of window dressing. The bit they | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
have not got into, you are right, ten to 13,000, it is a large number | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
being picked up, they are being shipped off to Sicily. Not hearing | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
nearly enough about this, what happens? Lampedusa, Malta, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
completely overcrowded, moving them to the other big islands, like | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Sardinia, I do not know what will happen there will stop Corsica, | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
relatively underpopulated. This is where they disappear and this is | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
where numbers are quite boggling. They managed to close down the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
route, so they are going around the other way... As we were discussing | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
before coming on air, this is a very different dynamic but it is a global | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
phenomenon, and it is going on for a long time. Yes, we understand why | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
ships are being sent down but it is not going to work. Leaving that, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
moving on to the Telegraph, modern life is killing children. This is | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
one of those stories, of course it is all for that cancer rates among | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
under 16s are up 40% but it makes you feel a bit despairing. Modern | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
life is killing children. Bernd barbecues, electric fields, power | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
lines, hairdryers... It really could not... It could not be any more | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
depressing, air pollution, solvents, obesity, basically everything that | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
any of us have ever used. Could it just be really good cancer | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
detection? Very possible. This is a statistic story, it has come from | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
statistics, from professor Dennis Central of Bristol University, his | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
statistics are showing something that is alarming, up annually from | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
ten children, contracting serious cancer, out of 100,000, up to 14, | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
even in some areas 60. -- 40, 60. Improved detection we thought we | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
were getting to a better stage of getting it early earlier on. This is | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
worrying. From a journalistic point of view, it is written in a mad way, | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
it is everything, apparently, you should not decorate your baby 's | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
room, there is a danger for the paint, whatever you do, and yes, you | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
should send them to school, playgroups, very early on, that is | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
the way that they will contract diseases! Would you believe it, that | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
is good for their immune system. That is a shopping trolley of a | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
story. Especially when you read the list there are, a lot of people will | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
be affected! It is not anything that anybody can do anything about. It is | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
a despair story. Looking at the mail, this story here, Calle, very | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
briefly, I want to get onto your story of Nicola Sturgeon, very | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
worrying, quite frightening. Congratulations, the BBC has done | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
some superb reporting. In a life-threatening situation, an | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
accident caused by one of these gangs, of the refugees, from the | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
jungle at Calais, moving along through their windscreen, collided | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
with a truck, driven by a Hungarian, and I think that it is really... | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
There is a crisis blowing up with the jungle, because the French | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Minister of the interior has said that they intend to close it down, | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
they will do that soon, they have been talking about it for weeks. Not | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
much time left, Nicola Sturgeon. The story in your magazine this week. | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
I'm the editor of the Sunday Times Magazine, we have this moving story | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
about Nicola Sturgeon, she had a miscarriage back in 2011, she has | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
let the story come out because there has been so much around female | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
politicians being childless, allegations levelled at her that she | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
was too ambitious to have a family and she sees herself as a role model | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
and would like young women to know that she wanted to have children and | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
it did not happen for her, and that having a family is not | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
irreconcilable with being First Minister. Very strong woman. All | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
strong women, as we know, can also be vulnerable, this is a very | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
personal story, but it is interesting and to her credit that | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
she would like people to know this. There may also be some politics in | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
this, in that... It is... Second referendum coming up, if she could | :13:20. | :13:31. | |
win the deficit. I thought that sweetness and light was the order of | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
the day with Brexit and Scotland. She does wonderfully well for this. | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
Fascinating interview. She shows that she is a real politician. The | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
fascinating thing about this, Ruth Davidson, it is not that they let it | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
all hang out, they are real people, in a way that we are lacking in the | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
village of Westminster. Not afraid to tell you, either. Lovely piece. | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
Theresa May can learn something from the incredibly skilful way in which | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Nicola Sturgeon handles the media. Good of you both to come in for the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
newspapers, thank you very much. We will see you again soon. Don't | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
forget, we have the newspapers every night here on BBC News. Now we will | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
go to the Vatican, more than 100,000 pilgrims are gathering to watch Pope | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Francis, who has just formally declared Mother Teresa a saint. | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
Mother Teresa, the nun who dedicated her life to helping the poor and | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
sick in India. She is now Saint Teresa of Calcutta. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Plenty more on all of that after the top of the hour, but here is the | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
weather. On the whole, a better day for | :14:46. | :14:54. | |
today, fantastic weather watchers | :14:55. | :14:55. |
