In football it's also a big day for three of the Home Nations. England,

:00:00.:00:00.

Scotland, and Northern Ireland al play their first World Cup

:00:00.:00:00.

qualifiers - we'll have more on those throughout the day, plus news

:00:00.:00:00.

of the final cricket one day international between England and

:00:00.:00:07.

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.
