Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
With me are columnists Rosamund Urwin of the London Evening | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Standard, and Neil Midgley of the Telegraph. | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
A warm welcome to you both, thank you for being here. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Tomorrow's front pages: the Times reports on the attacks in the US | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Theresa May, who is due to fly to New York for the UN assembly, | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
will urge other countries to step up their counter terrorism efforts. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Financial Times leads with the blast in New York. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The newspaper quotes the city mayor, Bill De Blasio, who said | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
"New Yorkers will not be intimidated." | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
The newspaper also reports a warning from the NSPCC about the rising | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
number of paedophiles contacting children online. | :01:02. | :01:02. | |
The children charity says that web cams and apps make | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The Telegraph reports that David Cameron wanted to shut down | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
criminal investigations into the alleged abuse of Iraqis | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
by British troops but was overruled by Government lawyers. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The Daily Express's front page features the stars of ITV's | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
The newspaper says there is a real-life romance | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
The Guardian looks at tomorrow's BBC Panorama programme, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
which reports that rebellious Labour MPs who have been challenging | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's authority could face de-selection from their seats | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
if Mr Corbyn wins the leadership race. | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
And the Daily Mail revisits the story of Ben Needham, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
who went missing on the Greek island of Kos in 1991 at 21 months old. | :01:47. | :01:58. | |
The Times, Rosamond, who talk about the attacks in the United States. | :01:59. | :02:16. | |
Calling it a triple strike, linking it to the UN General Assembly | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
meeting, though not necessarily any connection -- Rosamund. No, we don't | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
know there is any connection. The bomb that went off, one of the | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
devices are one of them didn't go off. It was fairly near the UN. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
There is no proof there is any link. What it has meant, of course, is we | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
have renewed spotlight on these issues as we come up to the security | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
discussions. And then on top of that with the US presidential election | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
approaching, it will push terrorism back up the agenda. It has been high | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
on the agenda but it will be the hot topic for this week. No clear | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
indication, as we have said in the headlines, as to who might have been | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
behind this bomb in New York which injured 29. Yes, so we have got I | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
think now four separate things in America over the weekend, one bomb | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
in New York, a pressure cooker bomb that didn't go off, a blast in New | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Jersey which injured no one, and a mass stabbing in a mall in Minnesota | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
but no apparent link, certainly between all four of them, although I | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
think IS has claimed responsibility for the Minnesota stabbing. And all | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
of this, actually... We have had the memorial for the anniversary, the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
15th anniversary of 9/11. New York on the understandably, I suppose | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
terror attacks are always in the back of New York mines. Yes, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
absolutely, and with the Minnesota stabbing, of course, so-called | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
Islamic State has taken, has claimed responsibility. In that case, we | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
actually have a suspect who is dead. The man responsible was shot dead. | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
So, you note that it is easy for them to make that claim. We don't | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
know that it definitely was them. And in the case of the others, they | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
think it wasn't international terrorism. It is where it is coming | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
from. Chelsea, in the neighbourhood of New York where these 29 people | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
were injured by the bomb actually going off, is a very gay | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
neighbourhood in New York. And obviously, the Orlando shootings | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
were obviously in a gay club, so it could be homophobic, the motive. The | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
picture here, exclusions rocked the city as world leaders gather for the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
security talk. Looking again at the UN General Assembly, where they will | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
discuss the terror threat in general. Yes, and to reason may, | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
apparently, according to the Telegraph, will say that Britain has | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
a right to control its own borders are at the same time as Donald Trump | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
makes a strong link between immigration, even entry into the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
country, never mind people staying for the rest of their lives, between | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Muslims coming to the US and Islamic terrorism. The Metro, terror blast | :05:25. | :05:36. | |
rocks the city, and of course they have had attacks from abroad, and | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
domestic as well, so when there is no clear motive for anyone who has | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
claimed responsibility for that New York attack, then people don't know | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
whether to think, is it a foreign attack, is it homegrown? No, quite, | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
and currently they think it is not linked with international terrorism. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Of course, that could change in the next couple of days. Obviously, the | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
streets of New York will be heavily policed. Yeah, a thousand extra | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
offices, we gather. Which seems sensible. Let's turn Azema attention | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
to domestic politics, and, surprise, surprise, the Labour Party, and a | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Panoram programme coming out tomorrow night which, amongst other | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
things, has Lord King in saying he doesn't think a Labour government | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
will come in his lifetime -- Panorama. What is this about? The | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
trade union leader Len McCluskey calling for a opponents of Jeremy | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Corbyn's leadership to be, I quote, held to account. It is an odd thing | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
in a so-called democracy. The Labour Party, as far as I know, is supposed | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
to be an organisation in which there are can be different views, which | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
can be expressed through the ballot box in the leadership election. It | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
sounds rather Soviet, if not worse, that if you... Celt -ish, perhaps, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
is that the word you are looking for? Once the election is over, it | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
is Game of Thrones, off with your head if you don't support me. You | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
wonder if there will be a leadership election against. You are a | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
supporter of the Labour Party. A.m. . What do you make of this contest? | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Well, I think... Who do you want to win? I am supporting Allan Smith. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
There are some people who could not have run against Jeremy Corbyn who I | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
would not support --I am. John McLauchlan? Yes, there you go. I was | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
saying before that I spoke with a liberal Tory MP last week who thinks | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
this is embarrassing, the state of the Labour Party, and we need | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
opposition for democracy to function well. I don't feel the Labour Party | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
in its current state is fulfilling that purpose. And I think it is very | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
unfair on a lot of really good MPs. Some of the names I noticed today, | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
talk of Peter Kyle, MP for Hove, and he won against a sitting Tory MP in | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
2015, he is a moderate. And why on earth would we think these people | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
shouldn't be... These people need to be in the Labour Party. Do you think | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Allan Smith has a chance of winning? No. I look forward to the 2017 | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
Labour leadership election -- Owen Smith. How on earth is Jeremy Corbyn | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
going to form and adequate shadow cabinet? The talent has been | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
severely depleted by... -- an. People refusing to serve. Initially, | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
really good people went to the back bench when he won. It was depleted | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
further by resignations. There is a very apposite picture in the | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Telegraph of Jeremy Corbyn, well, they have said, leadership contest, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
it is a knock out. And saying that he was actually visiting a boxing | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
club that trains homeless people in north London. The Telegraph says he | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
is unlikely to be pulling any punches. Boom boom, though he | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
appears to be punching himself. Yes, as with many other forms of | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
competition, he doesn't seem to understand the rules. More than one | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
person is supposed to take part. LAUGHTER. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Yes, quite. It is a rather good image, though, isn't it? It is, but | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
his supporters would say he is massively popular with the party's | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
members. With the members... And he has driven up Labour membership as | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
well. But you have to think who joins... As a member, who joins | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
parties? I am saying this as one myself, we have to accept not | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
everyone is as interested in politics as us. What is the purpose | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
of an organisation? The purpose of the Labour Party, presumably, is to | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
be elected into government. It is like saying a massive corporation | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
has increased the number of employees. If it isn't selling any | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
goods, there is no point in it being there. The same is trouble Labour | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Party. Interesting analogy, thank you very much. Let's go on to the | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
Daily Mirror, they have an interesting story about the | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
investigation into the disappearance of Ben Needham in Kos, and the | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
number one suspect's son, cops thought I was Ben. This story goes | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
that a quarter of a century. When he disappeared, what he is saying is | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
that... White at one stage into the investigation of his disappearance, | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
the cops, the police thought that this chap, the son of a man who is | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
now dead, there are accusations that have been heavily denied by the | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
family, I should hasten to add that, that he was involved in the | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
disappearance. The allegation is that he was crushed to death in an | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
accident. There was a building site... It is all very complicated. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
The father was driving the digger. That is key to it. This chap on the | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Mirror father was driving a digger in a field next to where Ben Needham | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
was playing and there is some circumstantial evidence that father | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
was seeing the following day looking shaken after Ben Needham's | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
disappearance, that the digger hit Ben Needham and killed him and there | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
was therefore some kind of cover-up. The Mirror has said that this man | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
had a son, and he says he has had his DNA tested to show he wasn't Ben | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Needham, in other words, the digger driver who is thought to have maybe | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
killed Ben, or abducted him, passed him off as his own son, but when you | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
look at this chap, at the risk of racial profiling, he looks about as | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Greek as they come. They have different coloured eyes... I am not | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
sure we can tell much on that. Let's go onto the Independent, they have a | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
striking story about the youngest child to die trying to reach the UK. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
He was legally entitled to enter Britain but he was hit by a truck in | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
Calais. As far as I can tell, he was in the Jungle in Calais, he got so | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
tired of waiting, presumably, so many other unaccompanied minors in | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
the camp, which has risen, by the way, to 1022, up 55% in a month, he | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
lost faith that he would ever get to the UK, and so he went off to try to | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
do it by himself and he was on the French motorway and he was hit by a | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
truck and killed. It is a terribly tragic story, and it does, once | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
again, through into focus our government's policy on refugees, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
generally, unaccompanied child refugees, in particular. In the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
context of the Brexit vote which was clearly a massive statement from | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
many millions of people in the country that they don't want mass | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
immigration. In fact, that is the populist political statement with | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
which Theresa May has to wrestle a she tries to engineer Brexit. We are | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
talking about children here, and I just cannot believe people cannot be | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
persuaded that it isn't an unacceptable thing to have so many | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
children who are unaccompanied stating in these horrendous | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
conditions and trying to come over here when they have... The argument | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
the other way is that if you take in 1000, then that will encourage | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
parents in wherever they are, Afghanistan, to send their children, | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
more and more children, on a very dangerous journey alone across | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Europe in the hands of traffickers. How desperate one has to be to do | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
that, as a parent. Let's go on to the Telegraph. They | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
also have a story about this. The attorney general vetoing to stop the | :14:46. | :14:54. | |
investigation into British soldiers of using Iraqis. -- abusing. Week, | :14:55. | :15:33. | |
the British setup a thing to look into this. Three men are now facing | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
trial. David Cameron wanted to stop this investigation completely | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
because they have or are being tried as a military hearing, found not | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
guilty. The Telegraph's line tomorrow is the attorney general | :15:50. | :16:02. | |
said it would be illegal to disband the investigation despite the fact | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
that many complaints have been made by the law firm public interest | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
lawyers which has subsequently been closed down after irregularities in | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
its work in Iraq. And the mail have another story about the Royal Marine | :16:20. | :16:29. | |
accused of killing a member of the Taliban. Will he ever get justice? | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
Mail readers gave him money to campaign his sentence. They have | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
linked it to the story that has been in the Telegraph. And the British | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
troops, as they put it, have been hounded by ambulance chasing | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
lawyers. And we just have time to talk about Pippa and the perils of | :16:59. | :17:13. | |
being Kate's sister. I saw the first-ever public speaking | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
engagement. The reason for this is that she has a new book. Or just | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
recipes. -- gorgeous. I got sent a copy of her first book, not this one | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
and if there is a test, I can't remember who came up with it that | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
you pick up the page 99 to tell a lot about this book. Why page 99? | :17:38. | :17:49. | |
I'm not sure. It was a literary critic -- literary critic's idea. It | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
was a picture of Pippa Middleton. Will you both be reading Pippa's new | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
book? I can't say it is going to be top of my Christmas list. Thank you | :18:05. | :18:15. | |
for being with us. Coming up next on BBC News, we will be going to the | :18:16. | :18:16. |
