Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
With me are Michael Booker, Deputy Editor of The Express | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
and Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Thank you gentlemen for being here. Let's have a look first of all at | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
all of the front pages. Before we get into the details. | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
The Telegraph leads on the latest delay to the decision | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
on whether to build a new runway at Heathrow. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
The FT reports on the jump in the value of the pound, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
as investors considered the possibility that | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
MPs may have a vote on the final Brexit deal. | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
The Metro reports on the murder of Elizabeth and Katie Edwards | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
The Express leads on concerns that adult migrants are posing as child | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
The Guardian says Cabinet ministers have been warned that the UK | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
could suffer a sharp fall in GDP if it pulls out of | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
The i leads on the rise in inflation. | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
And the Times leads on accusations that Theresa May has 'fudged' | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
More to come back as well. Gentlemen, let's begin. Michael you | :01:23. | :01:35. | |
will kick as off on the front page of the FT. This is a little bit of a | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
rally for the pound? We are getting the wind of possible fudges. The | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
fears of a hard Brexit have been eased. There are twitchy types in | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
the city at the moment, things are going up and down all the time for | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
that you get the impression until we do actually achieve full Brexit, the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
FT are going to have headlines reflecting this up and down every | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
time. This time this has come on the back of a lawyer for the government | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
who has told the High Court there will be before a final deal in | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Brussels, there will be Parliamentary approval given. This, | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
apparently, has given succour to those in the city that think we | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
might not get a hard Brexit or may not get Brexit at all because there | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
might be a vote against it. But any MP that does that, and any | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
parliament that does that, there will be riots on the streets. At the | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
moment the city are just enjoying... They are thinking, finally someone | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
is saying nice things, soft Brexit and are taking some solace in this. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
But is it just putting it off? You get the impression it is. The | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
crucial thing here is in fact the people who are participating in the | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
court case arguing there should be a vote on triggering the Brexit | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
protest, they argue this vote at the end which the government lawyer has | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
suggested would happen to approve the treaty. If we strike a new deal | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
with the EU there will be a treaty that sets that out. UK law requires | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
parliament to consider that, that probably means a vote and that is | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
what he said. The argument is having triggered Brexit through Article 50, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Parliament, if it voted against, then we would just be out anyway | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
without a treaty. So we couldn't fall back on things like the World | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Trade Organisation. The Remain camp are arguing this is an adequate. On | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
the back of this, the city have suddenly thought, this is positive, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
it's not going to be as difficult as we thought, therefore the pound has | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
fluctuated up a little bit. Just to add to the confusion, in the FT | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
story here it says Goldman Sachs thinks the pound is still overvalued | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
and should go down further. Another big financial institutional is | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
saying the pound is now the other way round, undervalued and should be | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
going up. These are the great experts and they don't really know! | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
That's what we're seeing, lots of uncertainty. It seems ever seen the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
vote no one has a clue, particularly those in the city. The way they are | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
reacting to every bit of news... And we had that Flash plunge of the | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
pound the other week, which was done by a computer. This is what we're | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
relying on at the moment in the city. You can see this is going to | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
be happening time and again until something actually happens. This is | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
where the Prime Minister is right, in fact if every cough in space is | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
talked about... She said we don't want a running commentary on | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
negotiation. Of course there should be scrutineering discussion, but on | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
the other hand, people can overinterpret every little sign and | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
then has this affect. Looking in terms of the FT themselves, they | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
wanted to stay in. They campaigned to stay in that, so headlines like | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
this, it's almost then mopping their own browser. If we are going to talk | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
about every nuance that comes up, the Guardian has picked up this | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
customs union issue, and how things might look if we pulled out of it. | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
It's a little bit... It is a little what if. It's one of the | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
possibilities and it goes into talking about less obtuse things, | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
like if there was a new customs barrier, we'd need another car park | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
at Dover. Because there is an proper space for the car parking delays | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
that would be required to get through. The practicalities, isn't | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
it? I'm quite sceptical. It is on papers drawn up before the vote and | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
it's just a theoretical scenario, and it says here it could lead to | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
4.5% fall in GDP by 2030. I would like to know precisely, we don't see | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
this in the story, but this has a ring of being similar to the | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Treasury forecast, that we will be worse off, each household ?4300 | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
worse off. When you looked at it wasn't people would be worse off | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
than today, but the increase in wealth was going to be less than it | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
would otherwise have been if we stayed in. I wonder if that's still | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
growth, still the country growing but theoretically not as much. The | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
key thing to discover these reports came before the referendum. Why are | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
they still looking at these outdated reports? The entire story seems to | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
be repackaged... This idea that if we suddenly have to have customs | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
checks, at our borders, the backlog of things that have to go through | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
our extreme. Do think they pick on is the extra car parking spaces. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
There is some investment for car parking companies and tarmac. Glass | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
half full. It is a legitimate concern on something the Prime | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
Minister and government team will be dealing with, but it is a long way | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
from happening. A teasing out a more minor issue. Let's stay with | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
politics. The Daily Telegraph, they have got may delays Heathrow | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
decision for you. We thought this couldn't take any longer to make a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
decision on new runways but we're still going. To be fair to Theresa | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
May she has some huge things on her desk when she moved in. This is | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
another one. What I like about this is it is full of vagaries. People | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
say this is just kicking the can down the road and fudging but it is | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
good political fudging. The fact she said she is going to give colleagues | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
the freedom to voice opposition, but with a number of caveats. The | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
caveats to me are fantastic. A number... You have to have | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
previously voiced opinion on the matter, have constituencies close to | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
the affected airports, banned from campaigning actively, can't publicly | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
criticise the decision-making process and barred from speaking | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
against the government's position in the Commons. You can say whatever | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
you like... Had a nice little dinner party at your house. It's clever. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
It's going to put it off again until next winter, which is incredibly | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
vague. We are going to hear the government position before the end | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
of the month. The end of next week, I think. In a sense there is | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
progress, albeit slow. I think these are almost Boris causes. Another | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
cabinet minister with a London constituency who is opposed to | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Heathrow, which is what it looks like it's going to be. At the same | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
time I suspect... There is a political desire to keep those | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
people within the cabin and not force them into a corner, so they | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
will allow them to voice their concerns, at the same time I suspect | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
there is a degree to which the government wants to make sure they | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
are, it sounds ridiculous, shown to be consulting properly, as if that | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
hasn't been enough consideration. From a legal point of view, I think | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
the government does need to be absolutely sure it shown every | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
effort to consult and account of all opinions otherwise they will face | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
legal battles, judicial review of the legal making process. We were | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
saying earlier she did the same with Hinckley. Looking around at all the | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
issues she's inherited and she has to do the same at this. Not start | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
from scratch but given careful consideration. Michael, take us to | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the Daily Express, your paper, what is your lead story? In the last | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
couple of days we have seen the child migrants who have been coming | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
over from Calais as the jungle camp is dismantled. Most British people | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
will be glad to trying help out kids coming over here who have got | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
families here already. We've been told they are looking at the | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
vulnerable children still over there. When some of the pictures | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
came out in the last 24 hours or so, some Tory MPs, we had quite a lot of | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
readers contacting us today saying, we are also vulnerable kids being | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
brought over here when we see the pictures of kids blown up in Aleppo | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
and things like that, orphans there, then we see some of the ones here | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
and a lot of them do look a lot older. The Home Office say they have | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
given as many checks as they can, but the anger here is at least | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
checks. If they don't have any papers on them, which a lot of them | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
don't in the camps, then it's just done on a visual look at these | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
people. If their physical appearance or demeanour suggests to them they | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
are definitely not over 18, then they have been allowed through. Some | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
people are saying, particularly Tory MP David Davis, he is saying we are | :10:17. | :10:31. | |
giving hospitality to hulking young men. He is going to the extremes, | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
but I think... It is a thorny issue. We have a duty of care to a lot of | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
these people, but if it is these people who are pretending to be | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
children getting in, we have a problem because they're taking the | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
place of honourable children. Is tricky. It is, a problem the Home | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
Office has faced with people on the borderline between being children, | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
16-17 and slightly older or a fair bit older than that. Having been in | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
Afghanistan a few times, sometimes people there do look quite old when | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
they are not very old. You discover sometimes they are not very clear | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
themselves, to be frank, about when their birthday originally was. There | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
is some confusion in this. Clearly there are a lot of honourable people | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
there. It's good that we're taking at least some of them, some people | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
are saying we're not doing enough and there is still this ongoing | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
problem of what will happen to the people who are not automatically | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
entitled to come here, have no family connections here, who are in | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
the Calais camp and what will happen to them. That is an open question. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
The plan is now the jungle is being dismantled but there doesn't seem to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
be much of a follow-up plan? Not at the moment, they seem to disperse | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
people and it's just luck. This has been an ongoing issue. There were | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
some figures earlier on, for 2015 there was for asylum seekers here in | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
many cases 571 age disputes about people claiming asylum. Out of them | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
371 were found to be adults. There are people who have been trying to | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
exploit this. Putting yourself in their position, if you have a chance | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
of a new life, maybe you would lie as well. If it is taking the places | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
of honourable children, it is a problem. Normally you would be | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
entitled to asylum regardless of your age, if you met the criteria. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
The difference is how they are treated in this particular scheme, | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
it's meant to be about children rather than adults. Martin, take us | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
back to the FT. They have a picture of President Obama, changing tack | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
completely going overseas, a large election coming up. Weighing in | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
today is President Obama, who has a message to Donald Trump to stop | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
whining. He has a message but I don't think it will get through. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Telling him to stop whining because Donald Trump has been going round | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
ever more vehemently insisting the election is ripped against him, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
everything is against him in effect, and creating his defence in advance | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
of what's looking more likely to be a defeat by the day in the | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
presidential poll when it comes. And so Obama saying exactly that, should | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
be concentrating on fighting the election, trying to gather votes. | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Obviously he doesn't want him to get many votes, but he's telling him to | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
do that rather than spend all his time with great conspiracy theory, | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
which is simply that, I think. That could be explosive, at the end of | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
the day. If he keeps saying this. If the Democrats... They look like | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
there are increasingly confident, but if it gets to the point where he | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
is still talking this rhetoric am election dates and he is still | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
saying it's being raped, then you have people, is very angry people | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
over bets, it could be a flash point. -- saying it's being rigged. | :13:30. | :13:41. | |
We finish with the Telegraph, a story that will raise an eyebrow. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Fashion eating this one, brushing teeth could prevent heart attacks. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Wake your kids up and tell I will be brushing my teeth before I go to | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
bed. The experts, the boffins in the States believe that brushing your | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
teeth thoroughly, it brings down inflammation in the body, similar to | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
what statins do. They say it is almost as effective as statins in | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
bringing down inflammation, linked to a high prevalence of heart | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
attacks. They've been able to do this with people pass by putting | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
some special to space to show whether plaque is, you brush had | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
out, get that off, your information goes down all through your body and | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
less chance of a heart attack. A description of a tube of toothpaste | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
blue incredible, the person that led this, and medical professor from | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Florida, apparently he's part of the team that worked out the benefits of | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
aspirin. He is clearly a very serious... Player on information. He | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
says exactly that, it's a very simple thing to do, could have a big | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
impact and no side-effects... I consider we've done everyone a | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
public service. Four minutes to 11, almost bedtime, go and get your | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
toothbrush. My thanks to Michael Booker and Martin Bentham for coming | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
to talk me through the papers this evening. That is all from us | :15:03. | :15:03. | |
tonight. Don't forget all the front pages | :15:04. | :15:04. | |
are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
of the papers. It's all there for you - | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and you can see us there too, | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
with each night's edition of The Papers being posted | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
on the page shortly after we've Thank you once again to Martin and | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
Michael foot of the weather coming up next. | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
A day of sunny skies and clear air for many of you but for others | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
dramatic skies and spectacular rainbows. Quite a few | :15:40. | :15:41. |
