:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:21.With me are Kevin Schofield, Editor of Politics Home
:00:22. > :00:22.and Lindsay Razaq, The Press and Journal's Westminster
:00:23. > :00:31.The Times front page leads with a promise by the UK's defence
:00:32. > :00:33.Secretary Michael Fallon to block any EU army proposal -
:00:34. > :00:40.so long as Britain remains part of the union.
:00:41. > :00:48.The Financial Times has a warning from a former military chief that
:00:49. > :00:49.Britain's forces could not defend against an all-out attack.
:00:50. > :00:54.The Daily Mail continues its coverage of dangerous driving
:00:55. > :00:56.caused by mobile phone use - applauding the paper's own efforts
:00:57. > :00:59.to see penalties doubled to six points for offending drivers.
:01:00. > :01:01.The Mirror also claims victory for the same campaign
:01:02. > :01:03.to see stricter penalties for mobile-phone using motorists.
:01:04. > :01:06.Patients may be able to skip queues for a fee in a move that
:01:07. > :01:08.could destabilise the NHS, warns The i.
:01:09. > :01:15.Meanwhile The Sun devotes its front page to the first
:01:16. > :01:17.female soldier to serve - after a sex change.
:01:18. > :01:19.A Daily Telegraph campaign sails across its front page, calling
:01:20. > :01:23.for the Royal Yacht Britannia to be returned to the seas to help secure
:01:24. > :01:31.Sorry, you noted a smile in my voice.
:01:32. > :01:33.And Saudi airstrikes killing innocent victims in Yemen features
:01:34. > :01:46.Quite a lot of European Union stuff in one form or another. Britain to
:01:47. > :01:50.block EU army, Nato rival will not happen, vows the Defence Secretary.
:01:51. > :01:56.You read in the first paragraph, for as long as we are in the EU, which
:01:57. > :02:01.might not be for much longer? We can only make that point up until the
:02:02. > :02:05.point when we are no longer in the EU. When we leave, there is no
:02:06. > :02:11.chance to have a say on that. This came up a number of times during the
:02:12. > :02:14.campaign. Jean-Claude Juncker was largely ridiculed when he brought it
:02:15. > :02:18.up earlier in the year and people were suggesting this will never
:02:19. > :02:24.happen. According to The Times, they have seen the document that has been
:02:25. > :02:27.discussed at the EU summit, the idea for a common defence Force. It does
:02:28. > :02:31.seem to be something they are genuinely looking at. What is the
:02:32. > :02:35.reaction, if we are trying to get people onside and get the
:02:36. > :02:39.negotiation going, how helpful a statement is this? Not very helpful
:02:40. > :02:42.at all. If they are going to go ahead and do it, and it seems they
:02:43. > :02:48.are pretty intent on doing it, it will happen anyway once we leave the
:02:49. > :02:55.EU, I would imagine something like this will take quite some time to
:02:56. > :02:58.set up. Is it in Britain's long-term strategic interests to be picking a
:02:59. > :03:02.fight on a relatively minor issue that will not affect us once we
:03:03. > :03:06.leave the European Union, when there are so many other bits of give and
:03:07. > :03:10.take that we need to expect during the discussions that will take place
:03:11. > :03:14.once we invoke Article 50. When you look on The Financial Times,
:03:15. > :03:18.Britain's withered forces unable to defend against all-out attack, you
:03:19. > :03:26.wonder whether we might be glad of some back-up? If what General Sir
:03:27. > :03:30.Richard Baron's saying, the outgoing joint forces command chief, if what
:03:31. > :03:33.he is saying is right, we could probably do with a bit of help from
:03:34. > :03:38.other countries as well. It is a pretty damning assessment of
:03:39. > :03:43.Britain's military capability. The Financial Times have seen a memo
:03:44. > :03:47.which he has given on his retirement to the Ministry of Defence. It is
:03:48. > :03:53.really damning. He says basically that we are not ready for any kind
:03:54. > :03:56.of military attack, particularly from Russia, a Russian air campaign
:03:57. > :04:00.would quickly overwhelm Britain. There is no military plan to defend
:04:01. > :04:07.the UK in a conventional conflict. He says the defence budget has been
:04:08. > :04:12.stripped away. There is the review going on at the moment, the MoD is
:04:13. > :04:15.looking to save ?1 billion from selling off land and military sites
:04:16. > :04:20.that they feel they don't need any more. It is a problem and they are
:04:21. > :04:26.trying to get cash wherever they can. Theresa May has committed to
:04:27. > :04:29.the 2% spend on defence, I believe. As you were saying earlier, if you
:04:30. > :04:34.are starting from a very low place, it doesn't matter if it is 1% or two
:04:35. > :04:40.percent, if it is starting from a very low point. How well is it being
:04:41. > :04:45.spent? We are spending 70 millions of pounds, but if it is not being
:04:46. > :04:51.properly invested, clearly it is not much use. It is a damning indictment
:04:52. > :04:57.of the state of military preparedness. The Daily Telegraph,
:04:58. > :05:01.bring back Britannia to rule the waves after Brexit? This is a
:05:02. > :05:06.campaign they are mounting? Slightly odd story on the front page of the
:05:07. > :05:11.Telegraph. The idea to bring back Britannia. It is all about the
:05:12. > :05:14.rhetoric, isn't it? Britannia rules the waves, are we going to be
:05:15. > :05:19.returning to that, as you were saying earlier, bring back the
:05:20. > :05:26.Empire. Very backwards looking. I'm not advocating that, don't anybody
:05:27. > :05:30.think. It seems quite backward facing and I would have thought that
:05:31. > :05:34.if we are going to make the most Brexit, as Theresa May keeps saying,
:05:35. > :05:38.we need to be forward-looking and thinking, looking to the future,
:05:39. > :05:42.rather than harking back to some supposed golden age as some would
:05:43. > :05:46.call it. Isn't it nice to have a place like the Royal yacht Britannia
:05:47. > :05:55.to wine and dine people, encourage them to sign trade deals with us? It
:05:56. > :05:59.is certainly memorable. Was decommissioned in 19 years ago, it
:06:00. > :06:02.has been sitting in dock as a tourist attraction ever since. You
:06:03. > :06:08.wonder if it is seaworthy, for a start. They talk about perhaps not
:06:09. > :06:12.being the original Royal yacht Britannia, may be a replica. But we
:06:13. > :06:16.don't have the money for it, so we are having to put out the begging
:06:17. > :06:21.bowl asking for donations to build this thing or at least get the
:06:22. > :06:26.existing one seaworthy. There is no suggestion the taxpayer will foot
:06:27. > :06:35.the bill? I don't think so. Jake Berry, a Tory MP behind this, he is
:06:36. > :06:38.apparently looking for... He has already approached donors across the
:06:39. > :06:43.Commonwealth, a Canadian figure has offered ?10 million. Doesn't go far
:06:44. > :06:48.when you are recommissioning a boat? If it has been out of action for
:06:49. > :06:51.nearly two decades, it will take more than 10 million quid. One of
:06:52. > :06:57.the criticisms of those in favour of Brexit was that there was no
:06:58. > :07:01.planning. That was seen to back it up. With the big idea for boosting
:07:02. > :07:06.trade is to bring back a boat that has not been... That is not what it
:07:07. > :07:13.is, is it? It seems to be one of the key ideas. They are talking about
:07:14. > :07:18.how it would... It is a symbol, isn't it? It would help to secure ?3
:07:19. > :07:25.billion of commercial trade deals, when it was seaworthy. That is not
:07:26. > :07:29.loose change. It would be relied upon to bring in a lot of money from
:07:30. > :07:33.countries that want to do trade deals, when we leave the European
:07:34. > :07:40.Union. It seems like it is almost being made up as we go along. Let us
:07:41. > :07:44.look at this picture on the front of the Telegraph, it has made the front
:07:45. > :07:49.of several newspapers. Sealed with a kiss. Look at those expressions.
:07:50. > :07:55.This is the new leader of Ukip, Diane James, about to receive a
:07:56. > :08:01.smacker from the outgoing leader, Nigel Farage. Does not look keen? If
:08:02. > :08:05.you are being kind, you might say it is unfortunate timing that the
:08:06. > :08:09.picture was taken. Watching it on TV, it wasn't immediately obvious
:08:10. > :08:16.she was recoiling in horror when he came into view. Clever editing? The
:08:17. > :08:24.camera doesn't lie, she does not look like she is happy to see him
:08:25. > :08:32.advancing towards her with his lips puckered. I don't think she will be
:08:33. > :08:37.happy that this is on the front of the papers. One of the key thing is
:08:38. > :08:43.to say about this is that Ukip as a woman leader, that is the SNP, the
:08:44. > :08:49.DUP, Scottish Labour, the Scottish Tories, the Conservative Party.
:08:50. > :08:58.Think is great. The only party with a male leader is Labour, the only
:08:59. > :09:01.mainstream. And mail deputy leader. They have never had one. Harriet
:09:02. > :09:10.Harman was acting leader for a while. Margaret back it, when John
:09:11. > :09:15.Smith died. -- Margaret Becket. You could have beaten Labour to the
:09:16. > :09:20.punch when it comes to quality. Speaking of Labour, Jeremy Corbyn,
:09:21. > :09:29.of course I have made mistakes. He is holding out an olive branch. Who
:09:30. > :09:34.to and how is it going to play out? Holding out an olive branch, she The
:09:35. > :09:41.He said he was growing an olive tree on the balcony of his office. That
:09:42. > :09:45.is true. They will need a lot of olive branches, I hope it is a big
:09:46. > :09:49.tree. There are a lot of people he has fallen out with. He is basically
:09:50. > :09:53.saying should he win, and all indications are that he is going to
:09:54. > :09:57.win when the result is announced, they cannot go on as they were.
:09:58. > :10:02.There would have to be some kind of approach meant with the rebels, the
:10:03. > :10:11.moderates, those that resigned, to try to get them back onside. Dan
:10:12. > :10:14.Jarvis, and others. What is he apologising for? The idea is that
:10:15. > :10:20.there has been so much disunity with the party that perhaps, gradually,
:10:21. > :10:23.he is realising the Labour Party cannot progress in this manner with
:10:24. > :10:27.such division and this is perhaps a realisation on his part that he will
:10:28. > :10:31.have to compromise a bit. On the other side of the party, those that
:10:32. > :10:36.are dead set against him, if he does win, which he is likely to, I think
:10:37. > :10:41.they will also have to like it or lump it and start compromising as
:10:42. > :10:44.well for the good of the party. If there is not going to be a general
:10:45. > :10:49.election for four years and Theresa May is insisting will go all the way
:10:50. > :10:56.to 2020, you cannot operate without a functional opposition, there needs
:10:57. > :11:03.to be some mechanism. Ukip said they were opposition in waiting? With one
:11:04. > :11:09.MP? Or the SNP, they are pitched as the real opposition because they are
:11:10. > :11:12.at least United. PMQs, for the first time, Corbyn actually won. I don't
:11:13. > :11:19.think that has happened since he has been leader. Best what he has had,
:11:20. > :11:23.yes. By focusing on grammar schools, he briefly managed to unite the
:11:24. > :11:28.party for a moment. I think maybe he has seen that and maybe it follows
:11:29. > :11:35.on from that. There have been if you own goals. He has to make a few
:11:36. > :11:41.concessions as well. They will have to come forward. That poor olive
:11:42. > :11:46.tree. It will be pretty bare. The Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail,
:11:47. > :11:50.whichever order you like. Six points if you use your mobile at the wheel.
:11:51. > :11:58.Victory for Daily Mail campaign to toughen up the driving law. That is
:11:59. > :12:03.currently three points. Hold on a minute. The Daily Mirror is saying
:12:04. > :12:06.that they have scored a victory with the government announcing that
:12:07. > :12:10.drivers will get the six points. Both of them are saying that they
:12:11. > :12:21.have won campaigns, but for how long? Both of them are saying they
:12:22. > :12:25.have launched the campaign is just two days ago. I think the Daily
:12:26. > :12:30.Mirror clinches it because they have victory in much bigger text. But
:12:31. > :12:35.there is a serious point. It is good that something is being done to
:12:36. > :12:40.crack down on this. You do see people calling and even texting at
:12:41. > :12:48.the wheel. This will be a deterrent, I think. Six points, I think that is
:12:49. > :12:54.half before you get banned. Two times and that is it. I think it
:12:55. > :12:58.will deter people. Chris Grayling says he wants to make it has
:12:59. > :13:07.socially unacceptable as drink-driving. It is quite humorous
:13:08. > :13:09.they are both claiming victory. The secret of newspaper campaigns is do
:13:10. > :13:17.not launch one unless you know you are going to win it. Maybe we will
:13:18. > :13:24.get the tiny! Maybe they have been kept a win could well happen. You
:13:25. > :13:35.are so sceptical. -- Maybe we will get Britannia. Do it for the
:13:36. > :13:41.economy, scratching and H for -- the itch of cashrich and time poor
:13:42. > :13:43.people. There are incredible services for people that don't have
:13:44. > :13:56.time to do everything they would like to? The introduction is about
:13:57. > :13:59.these lice assassins. People with disposable income, they could bring
:14:00. > :14:03.it in. You can go to a lounge or have done at home. If you are too
:14:04. > :14:13.ashamed to go to the lounge, simply can't to your home. Hey lice Lounge!
:14:14. > :14:20.I remember my sister bringing them home from school, and my mother
:14:21. > :14:25.sitting there with a comb. She will love you for saying that(!) It is
:14:26. > :14:33.?350, not cheap! You can buy a bottle of lice solution for a few
:14:34. > :14:38.pounds. You can bring somebody into teacher child to ride a bike, surely
:14:39. > :14:45.that is something that the parent should share with a child? You were
:14:46. > :14:50.talking about enjoying that. Going through that joy with my
:14:51. > :14:57.six-year-old child. I would not swap it, I would not want somebody to do
:14:58. > :15:04.it for me. I remember my dad showing me how to ride a bike. I was 18! I
:15:05. > :15:13.just made that up. Sign of The Times. ?150 to get rid of head lice?
:15:14. > :15:15.Really? We have all started itching at the thought of the story. Nice to
:15:16. > :15:17.see you both. Don't forget all the front pages
:15:18. > :15:20.are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review
:15:21. > :15:22.of the papers. It's all there for you, seven days
:15:23. > :15:25.a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers. And you can see us there too -
:15:26. > :15:28.with each night's edition of The Papers being posted
:15:29. > :15:30.on the page shortly Headlines coming up
:15:31. > :15:52.at the top of the hour. Hello. No great drama this weekend,
:15:53. > :15:53.you will be pleased to hear. It has been a
