Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
With me are the broadcaster Lynn Faulds Wood and | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Welcome to both of you. A look at the front pages first, an we | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Saturday with the Metro which has Mel and Sue on their front-page as | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
the pair announce their departure from the great brick babe off. The | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
FT says plans are being drawn up by GCHQ to create a great British | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
firewall to come pat cyber attacks. The eye looks at what it calls David | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
Cameron's toxic legacy in Libya. The Telegraph leads with the decision by | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
the chairman of the BBC to step down as the head of the corporation's | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
governing body. The Express says that MPs won't be | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
allowing to block the UK's exist from the EU. The times is with that | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
influential committee of MPs that will blame David Cameron for the | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
rise of so-called Islamic State. And The Mail says the foreign aid budget | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
is to be overhauled. Let us look at some of those. Let us start with The | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Times story. Cameron being blamed for the Rice of IS. This is an | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
inquiry into the inquiry into events in Libya. It sounds harsh to point | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
the finger at David Cameron, he just stepped down as an MP but he is | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
being accused of one of the biggest political and military boobs in | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
recent history, save for Iraq, lots of the criticism appears to be the | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
same. There is some intelligence, you rushed in and made it worse, so | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
says the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. It is a 49 page report. | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
It has taken time to cobble it together. I can do that in about an | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
hour now. Ever Every bullet point said he it has failed to do this and | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
that, they dashed in too quickly, for example one of the critics is | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
the chief of the defence staff, general Lord Richards who at the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
time disassociated himself from it. For you Chief of Staff, defence | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
staff to say don't do this back in 2011, that is damning in itself. | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Then he failed to identify that there were Islamist extremists among | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
the rebels we were supporting. We all know there are, I mean it is the | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
same we can look at Syria, a lot of the anti-Assad groups are of the | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
extremist persuasion. One of the points here, and it does make | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
reference to this, in The Times piece, he allowed an operation | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
designed to protect civilians and the original incentive was events in | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Benghazi when he as Nicolas Sarkozy identified there might be a | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
significant attack on a lot of people if they didn't do something | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
but it is what they didn't plan for afterwards. And they overstated the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
dangers at the time as well according to this. This is really a | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
very damning report the reason it is open season on Cameron is because he | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
was in charge at the time. You would always say that. We said it about | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Blair. That was the other point the Select Committee made, they said | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
they should have exploited Tony Blair's friendship with Colonel | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Gaddafi. Tony Blair is probably thinking fantastic, shush about the | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
dictators now. He probably tried his best to cool tensions. Do you think | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
he knew a report as damning as this was coming out and that is one of | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
the reasons he went so quickly. No, at the end of the day for someone | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
like David Cameron, 74,000 as an MPs wage would be nice for many of us, | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
for David Cameron... You are a cynic. Cynic. I I have seen them | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
work. Let us see if cynicism continues with regards to the Metro. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Going going scone. I can't imagine what that is about! Love the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
headline. This is every small child's favourite goalkeeper. What | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
is the fastest cake in the world? Scone. Are you saying tabloid | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
journalists are like children? No, there is a similar appeal. What is | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
full of a, I love the fun people are having with this, apart from Mel and | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
Sue who have both quit. And Bake Off crumbles as Mel and Sue quit on the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Met toe, they, they are saying we are not going to go to Channel 4. I | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
saw earlier on on this very channel that Michael Grade who was programme | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
controller was saying that this is a disastrous thing for Channel 4 to | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
have done. Is it really, the BBC is damned if it does, damned if it | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
doesn't. My Twitter feed will be filled with people you are on the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
BBC, talking a the BBC. But the reason the BBC, this is my view are | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
damned is because ?75 million is a lot of money, constantly criticised | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
for spending license fee payers money, now the BBC are going to be | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
criticised for not spending enough, how do you win that? Because it was | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
the top problem and people loved it. You are talking to a rt rower who | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
has been axed from places myself, people don't love us as much as we | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
think they do. They will cook scones on Channel 4, how does the license | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
payer miss out? They don't, they switch the channel and the BBC has | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
an excellent opportunity to do something that work, maybe Top Gear. | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
I don't work for the BBC now, a long time I did, Watchdog and so on, we | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
are both independent spirits now. You can't influence this? I | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
unfortunately I can't. We could pitch to the BBC bosses, the idea we | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
can make omelettes. It was a beautifully produced show, and I | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
think the BBC developed it into the stunning success it became. The | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
biggest show. 15 million watching the final is incredible. And will it | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
do as well on Channel 4? I don't know. Let us continue with the BBC | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
briefly because the Daily Telegraph leads with the fact that Theresa May | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
as they say, forces the BBC Trust chief to step down, think this is | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Rhona fair head, who has been head of the BBC Trust and will not carry | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
on in the role when this body changes. This was David Cameron | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
again, they were having a go at. He said to her, you can stay on, as | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
long as you like and Theresa May has come in and said no, I want it done | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
differently, we will have a different system and we will have a | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
different governing body, it will be a powerful new governing board, | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
although feel when I worked for the BBC we had powerful governing boards | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
coming along like buses, I don't know whether someone has fallen out | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
with Rhona. She probably sees something like how do you solve a | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
problem like Teresa. She is pointing the finger a bit at David Cameron. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
She wants to show that things have changed. Distance. Shaun, there is | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
another story I know both of you have had a look at. Mother less | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
babies on the way, created from skin cells after scientists discovered a | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
method of creating offspring without the need for a female egg. We need | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
women in society to keep us men under control. There have been | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
experimented on mice where there have been generations I think three | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
generations, of mice created. I am a woman helping you with this. ? | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Listen, how would we ever be right? It is the idea of fertilising any | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
part of the skin in place of female eggs, now, what could possibly go | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
wrong? Well, for years we have been telling you guys that you are | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
redundant, we don't need men, I think this is revenge where men are | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
saying we don't need you. It has very little to go on, you made the | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
point to me earlier about how these stories pop up, because people are | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
looking for funding. Maybe, we don't know the circumstance, but the one | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
that irtraits me... I was going to say cure for blindness and cancer, I | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
remember working at another place, and it was the cancer conference in | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
the State, I did six cancer stories in one week where people were | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
talking about different cures, some of it was clever, but to a degree | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
these guys sometimes want a bit more money to fund it. Did any of it | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
happen? Look, I am not an oncologist. I ran the European | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
cancer patient after I had bowel cancer, and if I had a pound for | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
every breakthrough ever in cancer I wouldn't be sitting here, I would be | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
off on a round-the-world trip. We will squeeze two more in the we can. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
The Financial Times is where we are taking them from. GCHQ plans a great | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
big firewall. Let me at this one. It is as transparent adds glass window | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
that has been polished. It is GC. Q, they do amazing work and they keep | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
us safe, I am a huge fan of them. However in this instance there is | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the notion of putting a Chinese-style filter on our internet | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
traffic. Of course, I am not doubting there is truth to the angle | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
that is being spun here, the idea it stops malware getting to people's | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
computers. By the same token, it also gets rid of as they call | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
offensive content. This is censorship to the extreme. On that, | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
and Lynn you might want to come meant on this, people would be be | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
able to opt out. It is very thin on detail and it was only a story in | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
the Financial Times, I think the trouble with this story, for | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
example, there is a chap Kieron Martin the GCHQ Director General, he | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
said we are doing well in Britain, we are doing twice as many finding | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
signer incidents as we did last year. We found 200 a month. There is | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
thousands a month that you are probably missing, because they are | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
so clever, all the hackers there are out there, the ones that have hacked | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
the the games in Rio and hacked our Olympic winners medical records, and | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
found that a lot of them have been taking banned substances with their | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
doctors' permission, the hackers can do anything now, and I am... Is it | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
about hackers? Or people, people who want to have cyber incidents, can do | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
anything. We have a minute left. Let us devote that minute to taxis. In | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
London. Black cabs versus Uber. This is Saddique Khan or Mayer is trying | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
to support black cabs because after all these poor guys and women have | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
spent years doing the knowledge, and know every area of Greater London | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
that is possible to know, and then clever, clever apps come along like | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
uber-which are brilliant and we have so intrigued by them. Cabs come | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
economically but the poor black cabs need support. Uber-are saying they | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
are being discriminated against. I have only had one black cab refuse | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
my guide dog-leg, I must have had 20 uber-drivers. Black cabs feel that | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
uber-drivers are not paying attention to the regulation, | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
uber-say we are for card thinking, join the rest of the world. On that | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
note. I am going home in a black cab. You can go home which ever way. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
If I am going with uber-I love you guys. That is it for The Papers. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website, | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
