Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:13.:00:15.

With me are business academic, Melanie Eusebe, and David Williams,

:00:16.:00:24.

Political Editor of Wales Online and The Western Mail.

:00:25.:00:28.

Good evening and thank you for being with us.

:00:29.:00:32.

The Daily Mail leads with a story on grammar schools.

:00:33.:00:34.

The front page article is dedicated to Theresa May's own

:00:35.:00:37.

The same story on the The Daily Telegraph front page, together

:00:38.:00:46.

with the iconic image of a naked girls running away from

:00:47.:00:48.

The image from 1972 and the current controversy with Facebook taking it

:00:49.:01:02.

It is one of the most iconic pictures in war photography.

:01:03.:01:11.

The newspaper calls Facebook an "anti-social network" even though

:01:12.:01:14.

the photo was reinstated after a global outcry.

:01:15.:01:17.

The Express writes about West Midlands police constable

:01:18.:01:20.

provoking anger after suggesting that officers could wear burkas.

:01:21.:01:32.

The Times reports that the trade secretary Liam Fox has made an

:01:33.:01:40.

attack on UK business leaders. He says the previous success has made

:01:41.:01:46.

them "Lazy and fat" according to the Times. They lead on the second

:01:47.:01:49.

accuser demanding to re-examine the sex abuse case involving Sir Cliff

:01:50.:01:57.

Richard. Spokesmen for the singer say a quote from cliff reaffirms his

:01:58.:01:58.

innocence. We will start with the Daily Mail

:01:59.:02:07.

and they have the story about the grammar schools which has dominated

:02:08.:02:11.

the stories for two or three days. This is particularly Theresa May's

:02:12.:02:16.

personal depth of grammar schools -- personal debt. She was educated for

:02:17.:02:21.

a while in a grammar school. The intent is to fix the apparent

:02:22.:02:25.

unfairness in the school system today. I love to measure it by the

:02:26.:02:32.

intent. However, there has been an outcry. This has been the most

:02:33.:02:36.

controversial outcry since she has come into Government.

:02:37.:02:43.

In a way, it has been her first big domestic policy pronouncement and it

:02:44.:02:46.

has been controversial. I know it has. If you are going to

:02:47.:02:50.

pick something which will inflame tensions in every direction, this is

:02:51.:02:55.

the perfect issue. The Government only has a majority of 12 and yet

:02:56.:03:01.

there is deep unease in the conservative ranks. Nicky Morgan is

:03:02.:03:05.

raising deep concerns... The former Education Secretary. She

:03:06.:03:08.

is quoted in one of the papers tomorrow saying it is we heard -- it

:03:09.:03:14.

is weird. That is quite a condemnation.

:03:15.:03:19.

That has probably done more to unify Labour ranks than anyone on the

:03:20.:03:23.

opposition benches in weeks. Well it's break a popular chord with

:03:24.:03:27.

the public and voters? There are few things lacking about

:03:28.:03:31.

it. It seems to have come out of left field. One of the claims people

:03:32.:03:35.

make is that, where is the mandate for this? It was not in the

:03:36.:03:38.

manifesto so where did it come from? Number two, where is the data? If we

:03:39.:03:44.

look at other countries, we do not necessarily know for certain at

:03:45.:03:50.

grammar schools, will aid fixed in equity and unfairness in our school

:03:51.:03:53.

system? Without that, it feels like it has come out of left field and I

:03:54.:03:59.

am not sure how it will be received by the general public.

:04:00.:04:02.

David, you enter a grammar school in Northern Ireland when there are a

:04:03.:04:04.

lot of grammar schools. Yes, it is a part of the system. I

:04:05.:04:11.

went to a grammar school there. I don't think I have done an exam

:04:12.:04:15.

since the age of 11 when I felt such terror. It was as if life would be

:04:16.:04:18.

determined by what would happen in the exam.

:04:19.:04:21.

Does it work in Northern Ireland, that system?

:04:22.:04:27.

The system used to be pretty much written in the 1950s and early

:04:28.:04:31.

1960s. It has been shaken up and everyone of my generation says it is

:04:32.:04:40.

a mess. There is a deep sense that it is neither fish nor fowl.

:04:41.:04:44.

You talked about the terror of doing the 11 plus, which I failed, so you

:04:45.:04:52.

have one on me there. The Mail asked out of interest, about the 11 plus,

:04:53.:04:59.

they have given 11 plus questions. Let us ask the viewers and you guys

:05:00.:05:03.

if you wish to take part. I will ask you one of the questions from the

:05:04.:05:05.

English section because we were doing this in the office and people

:05:06.:05:10.

were filling miserably. Question two, and I will come back at the

:05:11.:05:15.

very end of this paper review. If you watch at home, this is your

:05:16.:05:19.

question. Which of these four words is closest in meaning to Cingular?

:05:20.:05:26.

It is a multiple-choice answer. Which of these words is closest in

:05:27.:05:32.

meaning to Cingular? Is it a, strange? B, loud, C, quiet, D,

:05:33.:05:40.

lonely. Which of those words is closest in meaning to singular?

:05:41.:05:45.

Strange, loud, quiet or a lonely? That is your starter for ten and I

:05:46.:05:48.

will come back at the end for an answer. Embarrassing if you do not

:05:49.:05:56.

know. Let us get onto the Express, away from grammar schools. This is

:05:57.:06:02.

fury at police in burqas. The Express say that the West Midlands

:06:03.:06:09.

Chief Constable has been widely condemned by suggesting police

:06:10.:06:12.

officers could wear a burqas. Where do you stand?

:06:13.:06:18.

Let's be clear. All he said was that, I am not going to rule it out.

:06:19.:06:23.

Yes. That is all he said and there has

:06:24.:06:26.

not been an instance of a woman who has applied wearing a burqa. He is

:06:27.:06:31.

just saying, let us not rule it out right now. But the response is

:06:32.:06:37.

quite... Quite uniformly no in this article. They said they went to the

:06:38.:06:44.

Muslim Council of Britain and said it would be against female officers

:06:45.:06:49.

wearing full face burqas. Not necessarily just race or religion

:06:50.:06:55.

-based outcry by it, you know what? Women who are wearing burqas

:06:56.:06:58.

probably would not want to apply to the police in the first place. I

:06:59.:07:03.

agree with Mr Thomson. He said, in the instance that it may occur, let

:07:04.:07:08.

us not just say no. Let's talk about it.

:07:09.:07:11.

Let's think about it and deal with the issue when it comes up.

:07:12.:07:15.

The Police Federation spokesman said, any piece of uniform must be

:07:16.:07:20.

fit for purpose and not obstruct or hinder an officer in carrying out

:07:21.:07:24.

normal duties. Do you think the burqa would hinder a police officer

:07:25.:07:27.

from their duties? One example somebody raises in this

:07:28.:07:33.

interrogation situation is good to see a person's face? Unimaginable.

:07:34.:07:38.

In some ways, the Chief Constable is probable sitting right now thinking,

:07:39.:07:46.

what did I say? However, the force is apparently on a drive to recruit

:07:47.:07:50.

800 officers of which they went 30% to be from ethnic minorities. If you

:07:51.:07:56.

are looking to get a massive storm of publicity, it has been

:07:57.:08:00.

successful. You could imagine somebody applying

:08:01.:08:03.

to the police and saying, I would like to wear a burqa.

:08:04.:08:07.

Yes, exactly it is not inconceivable. If we go back to our

:08:08.:08:12.

recent history. In several countries, we used to have an outcry

:08:13.:08:22.

or protest around Sikh officers being allowed to wear turbans and be

:08:23.:08:27.

part of the force. What is needed in the capability of a police officer

:08:28.:08:31.

and police staff? If it means my face needs to be visible in regards

:08:32.:08:38.

to interrogation or temerity relations, let's talk about it.

:08:39.:08:43.

That should be the only criteria? Yes, what is the core capability?

:08:44.:08:48.

Will be burqa remind us from performing that job.

:08:49.:08:50.

You are just back from holiday on the continent, right? There is a

:08:51.:08:55.

story in the Guardian you might be interested in which is an end to

:08:56.:09:02.

these free travel in Europe, potentially, according to the

:09:03.:09:11.

Guardian. -- visa - free travel in Europe.

:09:12.:09:15.

Did not make much of it because I thought, is it news?

:09:16.:09:21.

It is in a newspaper, it must be! Surprise, surprise. That is

:09:22.:09:26.

happening everywhere else in the world. Being a joint Canadian and

:09:27.:09:30.

United Kingdom citizen, just because I am part of Canada, I know I can

:09:31.:09:37.

travel for free into the US. But as a UK citizen, I would have to get a

:09:38.:09:42.

Visa. It is a form of prescreening so that we know who is crossing

:09:43.:09:47.

borders. And it is happening everywhere else in the world, so it

:09:48.:09:50.

is a consequence of the vote we have taken that we are adhering to.

:09:51.:09:55.

Surprise, surprise. It is not a huge deal.

:09:56.:09:59.

The font does not need to be so big on that story.

:10:00.:10:03.

Not as big a story is the grammar school story which they relegated to

:10:04.:10:07.

second story. What do you make of the visa- free travel, an end that?

:10:08.:10:13.

Really waking up to the fact that Brexit is pulling at the string at

:10:14.:10:19.

the jumper of Europe. No one knows how this will unravel.

:10:20.:10:29.

A very good analogy. And the Telegraph, that is also on the whole

:10:30.:10:35.

Brexit theme. They have a story saying that Brussels believes it can

:10:36.:10:41.

make Britain beg. Britain says there Europe editor has become completely

:10:42.:10:44.

lost since the Brexit vote, according to European Commission

:10:45.:10:49.

officials. It can eventually be expected to plead for a deal when it

:10:50.:10:53.

realises the wickets of its position at the negotiating table. Is that a

:10:54.:10:59.

likely scenario? -- when it realises the weakness of its position.

:11:00.:11:06.

Again, I think it is more a surprise, surprise a story for me.

:11:07.:11:17.

We... It seems quite... In terms of making Britain beg... Again, going

:11:18.:11:21.

back to our story in regards to the visa required for travel, this is

:11:22.:11:26.

the... What did we think was going to happen? We are splitting apart

:11:27.:11:31.

from the rest of the EU. People want to move on, whether you voted yes or

:11:32.:11:39.

no Mac. -- whether you voted yes or no. I need to hear the context of

:11:40.:11:44.

the comments. What we do know is once article 50

:11:45.:11:48.

is triggered there are a two years of negotiations, whether that

:11:49.:11:52.

includes begging or making everybody beg...

:11:53.:11:58.

There is a narrative building of a European Commission which is trying

:11:59.:12:02.

to tell other countries, don't even think of negotiating with Britain a

:12:03.:12:08.

separate trades deal if you want one with us. It is like a Mafia jungle

:12:09.:12:13.

situation. They do not want other countries to

:12:14.:12:17.

do their own version of Brexit. It is in their interest to make it not

:12:18.:12:21.

too easy. They cannot make it too easy. But we

:12:22.:12:30.

do have to be careful in... Right now, no one has done anything and

:12:31.:12:36.

there is a lot of talk. I think there is a time when we have two is

:12:37.:12:43.

Dart talking and I understand everyone, particularly the EU is

:12:44.:12:47.

saying... Look, we have a vote, and even though you were not well

:12:48.:12:50.

prepared, these are the consequences. Let's keep it moving.

:12:51.:12:54.

We do not want the UK to be able to negotiate in advanced trade terms

:12:55.:12:59.

with other countries. Of course, because we are still united in a

:13:00.:13:02.

certain sense, it will impact the continent.

:13:03.:13:05.

OK... It is a tough situation.

:13:06.:13:11.

The Telegraph had this picture which is such an iconic picture from

:13:12.:13:14.

Vietnam. Many people will be familiar with this back from 1972

:13:15.:13:22.

and the napalm attack on a young girl, naked, running away from the

:13:23.:13:26.

napalm attack. The row is that Facebook banned it or wanted it

:13:27.:13:35.

pixilated. There was a protest against them and is now Facebook

:13:36.:13:38.

have backed down. What do you make of this? It is one of the most

:13:39.:13:45.

famous examples of Great War photography ever, is it not?

:13:46.:13:50.

Yes, this is the image photojournalists regard as one of

:13:51.:13:53.

the defining images where it turned popular opinion conclusively, in

:13:54.:13:59.

many areas. Against the war, it was turned. The idea that napalm was

:14:00.:14:04.

being dropped and had this effect on innocent people. It shipped foreign

:14:05.:14:07.

and domestic policy. Are Facebook showing their

:14:08.:14:12.

ignorance? They do not understand the difference between a picture

:14:13.:14:16.

like that and is a great historic importance and just a naked picture

:14:17.:14:21.

of a girl? 99% of the stories Facebook find

:14:22.:14:28.

themselves in fronting as when they shouted at for not taking things

:14:29.:14:32.

down. You can see why they would have a blanket policy that

:14:33.:14:37.

occasionally leads the situation -- to this type of situation. You can

:14:38.:14:43.

feel an element of sympathy. Do you feel like that?

:14:44.:14:47.

I think it is about how you monitor and legislate against intent. It is

:14:48.:14:53.

difficult, with the amount of users Facebook has on its platform, there

:14:54.:14:58.

has to be some sort of blanket protection against, you know, to

:14:59.:15:04.

protect vulnerable parts of our population, including children. I

:15:05.:15:10.

understand why, initially, there would be a ban. But once the Prime

:15:11.:15:16.

Minister of Norway says, wait a minute, what are you doing here?

:15:17.:15:22.

Then they backed down. And reasonably quickly.

:15:23.:15:28.

On the other hand, we do know that neither is Facebook or Twitter or

:15:29.:15:33.

other social media platforms... They could be taking more activity in

:15:34.:15:35.

terms of legislation and monitoring inappropriate content. At the end of

:15:36.:15:41.

the day, I think that with the technology, it is not sophisticated

:15:42.:15:45.

enough to measure what is in peoplepeople's heart.

:15:46.:15:51.

This image of photojournalism, right now, run the world lots of people

:15:52.:15:57.

are not official journalists but just civilians who happen to have

:15:58.:16:01.

camera phones. If they take the equivalent picture that is in front

:16:02.:16:05.

of them, how is that going to be adjudicated?

:16:06.:16:09.

A word about the Times. An interesting front putting Liam Fox,

:16:10.:16:14.

trade Secretary, caught in an off-guard moment according to the

:16:15.:16:21.

Times. Making an attack on British business leaders, saying they are

:16:22.:16:25.

too lazy and fat. Apparently...

:16:26.:16:28.

He will not make friends with that kind of comment.

:16:29.:16:32.

There is some suggestion that what is at play here is... There is a

:16:33.:16:37.

debate about post-Brexit Britain. Do we want to do everything we can to

:16:38.:16:40.

stay in the single market? We know how it works and it is cosy and

:16:41.:16:45.

safe. There will be plenty challenges but the rules of the game

:16:46.:16:52.

are understood. There are the First Ministers of parts of the UK

:16:53.:16:56.

including Wales saying, essential to stay in. Then there are the

:16:57.:16:59.

buccaneering 's free-market people who hate any idea of that and love

:17:00.:17:05.

the idea of Britain going it alone on the ocean waves. The perception

:17:06.:17:10.

is that, perhaps, Liam Fox is closer to that.

:17:11.:17:13.

And he says people need to stop thinking about exporting as an

:17:14.:17:15.

opportunity and start thinking that it is a duty. That is the thought of

:17:16.:17:24.

Liam Fox. Let's take you back to the 11-Plus quiz, which I know our

:17:25.:17:29.

viewers have all done very well with our little quiz. One question. Which

:17:30.:17:33.

of these words is closest in meaning to singular? Strange, loud, quite a

:17:34.:17:40.

lonely? I was hoping you had forgot.

:17:41.:17:46.

As a man who... I said lonely.

:17:47.:17:54.

You said lonely? OK. I am leaning in the same direction.

:17:55.:17:59.

OK, you think lonely as well. OK. The answer, I'm afraid, because you

:18:00.:18:04.

passed your 11-Plus but would have filled this one, it is strange.

:18:05.:18:11.

Strange is the word that is closest in meaning to singular. A single

:18:12.:18:16.

man, a single woman... That is difficult. A singular

:18:17.:18:20.

instance would be... A tricky one at age 11. You both

:18:21.:18:28.

failed but you passed the discussion on The Papers.

:18:29.:18:30.

Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website

:18:31.:18:35.

where you can read a detailed review of the papers.

:18:36.:18:37.

It's all there for you - 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers -

:18:38.:18:40.

with each night's edition of The Papers being posted

:18:41.:18:45.

on the page shortly after we've finished.

:18:46.:18:46.

Thank you, Melanie Eusebe and David Williams.
