:00:00. > :00:16.time for The treble Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:17. > :00:20.to what the the papers will be With me are the journalist

:00:21. > :00:24.and auther Matthew Green and the Education Editor

:00:25. > :00:26.of the Sunday Times, The Observer leads with what it

:00:27. > :00:40.calls the "global fury" in reaction to Donald Trump's immigration ban,

:00:41. > :00:42.preventing people from seven mainly Muslim countries

:00:43. > :00:49.from entering the United States. The Sunday Times says that

:00:50. > :00:51.Donald Trump's visit to the UK could be disrupted,

:00:52. > :00:54.as the US President is engaged in a reportedly "extraordinary"

:00:55. > :00:56.diplomatic row with Prince Charles The Express says Prince William

:00:57. > :01:01.and Harry are to unveil a statue of Princess Diana in the grounds

:01:02. > :01:03.of Kensington Palace to mark The Daily Mail reports that NHS

:01:04. > :01:09.doctors have been advised in guidelines from the BMA not

:01:10. > :01:12.to call pregnant women "mothers" because it might offend

:01:13. > :01:15.transgender people. And The Telegraph leads

:01:16. > :01:17.with comments from the Northern Ireland Secretary,

:01:18. > :01:19.James Brokenshire, who tells the paper the system

:01:20. > :01:28.for investigating murders committed so, let's begin, and we're going to

:01:29. > :01:33.start with the Observer. All of the papers this morning reflecting on

:01:34. > :01:38.what Donald Trump has done. Indeed. America is clearly on the brink of a

:01:39. > :01:41.precipice. We are seeing paranoia and fear of the kind that

:01:42. > :01:46.accompanied the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II.

:01:47. > :01:50.What does it mean for Britain? We've seen Theresa May essentially cosying

:01:51. > :01:58.up to trump in the hope that she might somehow provide sort of a

:01:59. > :02:01.constraining influence -- restraining influence, but we have

:02:02. > :02:04.seen that hope blown out of the water with what happened yesterday

:02:05. > :02:08.with these thousands of refugees and migrants. All credit is the

:02:09. > :02:13.Observer, they have laid it there on the front page. Trump is ignorant,

:02:14. > :02:18.prejudiced and vicious in ways that no American leader has been. I think

:02:19. > :02:26.Theresa May's refusal to join other European leaders condemning what'

:02:27. > :02:32.Trump is doing is a huge stain on her leadership. A huge criticism of

:02:33. > :02:35.her has been that she is letting America do what they want to do

:02:36. > :02:42.rather than condemning it. Is she stuck between a rock and a hard

:02:43. > :02:45.place? I suppose in a way she is because she very much wants to sign

:02:46. > :02:52.trade deals with America post-Brexit. She has come out today,

:02:53. > :02:57.her spokesman, and said that she does not agree with Trump stance.

:02:58. > :03:02.She didn't do it herself. She didn't. The Observer is the early

:03:03. > :03:06.paper that has splashed on this this morning. All credit to the Observer,

:03:07. > :03:11.they got quickly to this issue and they have seen how big it is going

:03:12. > :03:15.to be. To be fair to her, she has, through this morning, she has made

:03:16. > :03:18.this statement, she has said if there are British citizens caught up

:03:19. > :03:25.in this through dual nationality, we will be looking to represent them.

:03:26. > :03:29.She's going to have difficulty, you're absolutely right, Matthew.

:03:30. > :03:34.Already this morning, members of her party are saying look, this is

:03:35. > :03:37.wrong, we don't agree it. Sarah Wollaston has come out, Ruth

:03:38. > :03:42.Davidson has said quite clearly that this is wrong. We understand there

:03:43. > :03:50.is one Iraqi born Tory MP who may be banned from the states after this,

:03:51. > :03:53.under these new rules. We saw Theresa May at the press conference

:03:54. > :03:58.in Turkey ducking the question twice and then making this very weak

:03:59. > :04:02.statement about, essentially, it is America's business. We need a leader

:04:03. > :04:05.who is willing to stand up for democratic values. I'm afraid that

:04:06. > :04:11.Theresa May is failing that test. It's not good enough to issue a very

:04:12. > :04:16.weakly worded statement saying we could not agree with what Donald

:04:17. > :04:21.Trump is doing. US newspapers are calling him a tinpot dictator.

:04:22. > :04:24.America, in the past week, has suffered its ugliest start to any

:04:25. > :04:28.republic in the history of the country. We need to be joining other

:04:29. > :04:33.Western leaders in standing up to this and not cravenly endorsing it.

:04:34. > :04:38.It is a completely new era in politics, right across the world. It

:04:39. > :04:42.is, but has Theresa May grasp this? She is surrounded by these special

:04:43. > :04:49.advisers that the papers always talk about being incredibly intelligent,

:04:50. > :04:56.but maybe she should consult a psychologist, who would tell her

:04:57. > :05:00.that Donald Trump is suffering from narcissistic personality disorder,

:05:01. > :05:04.he is prejudiced, vengeful. It is totally obvious, it is not politics

:05:05. > :05:07.as usual and Theresa May has to catch up with that. Let's move on to

:05:08. > :05:11.the Sunday Times because it's not just the rest of the world he is

:05:12. > :05:18.fighting with, it's also Prince Charles! What has happened? This is

:05:19. > :05:24.a great story. Donald Trump seems to being gauged in an extraordinary

:05:25. > :05:27.diplomatic row with the Prince of Wales over climate change and is

:05:28. > :05:32.threatening to disrupt his forthcoming state visit to the UK".

:05:33. > :05:35.On the one hand you have Prince Charles, environmental campaigner.

:05:36. > :05:40.On the other hand, Donald Trump who is a climate change denier. There

:05:41. > :05:45.are some amazing quotes in this story in the Sunday Times and I have

:05:46. > :05:49.highlighted a view of them here. Apparently Trump's people are saying

:05:50. > :05:52.that he is very reluctant to meet Prince Charles and they have warned

:05:53. > :05:57.it would be counter-productive for Charles to lecture Trump on green

:05:58. > :06:02.issues and he would erupt if he were pushed! On the other hand you have

:06:03. > :06:10.got Charl plus people saying he is determined to meet Donald Trump.

:06:11. > :06:17.This is Donald Trump who has tweeted about how, wouldn't anyone want to

:06:18. > :06:23.make money by tweeting topless photos of Kate Middleton... He has

:06:24. > :06:27.tweeted his desire to have slept with Princess Diana... Why are we

:06:28. > :06:31.letting him into the country? I find the tone of the Sunday Times story

:06:32. > :06:36.quite puzzling, as it Prince Charles, somehow his advocacy on

:06:37. > :06:40.climate change is somehow problematic and is going to disrupt

:06:41. > :06:44.this visit. Let's face it, climate change is the threat to the future

:06:45. > :06:47.of organised life on planet Earth and Donald Trump has gagged members

:06:48. > :06:52.of his government, scientists who are working on this and he has

:06:53. > :06:57.essentially confirmed that the Republican party is now the most

:06:58. > :07:01.dangerous organisation on earth. The idea that Prince Charles is somehow

:07:02. > :07:04.at fault here I think is wrong, we should be rallying around him and

:07:05. > :07:12.saying come on, what direction are we taking and why? I don't think the

:07:13. > :07:17.story is saying that Prince Charles is at fault here. It implies Prince

:07:18. > :07:21.Charles is somehow causing a problem to what otherwise would be a

:07:22. > :07:26.wonderful visit. I don't think that is the tone at all. I think it lays

:07:27. > :07:28.out an argument very clearly. The straightforward reporting here,

:07:29. > :07:34.there is one paragraph that says Trump has repeatedly branded climate

:07:35. > :07:38.change a hoax and a moneymaking industry and was created by the

:07:39. > :07:42.Chinese to damage American industry. When you have that sort of straight

:07:43. > :07:47.reporting you think, OK, you can make up your own mind. Senior

:07:48. > :07:52.government officials now believe Charles is one of the biggest risk

:07:53. > :08:02.factors for the visit"... Donald Trump is the risk factor! He might

:08:03. > :08:05.tell him... Donald Trump might agree with him just like you did with

:08:06. > :08:10.Theresa May, alternative facts again! We're going back to Theresa

:08:11. > :08:17.May and President Erdogan in Turkey and the trade deal for that. If we

:08:18. > :08:24.just move, just tidying up the desk here, there we go... So the viewers

:08:25. > :08:31.can see this one. A double page spread there, they shake on trade

:08:32. > :08:36.deals despite fears over human rights. What do you make of this

:08:37. > :08:43.one? She has agreed a trade deal, or is preparing to agree a ?100 million

:08:44. > :08:47.deal for fighter jets which could lead in fact to Britain becoming

:08:48. > :08:52.Turkey's main defence partner. At the same time, she has given a very

:08:53. > :09:03.clear warning on human rights. Again it is this need to find close trade

:09:04. > :09:06.and diplomatic links Stal side B EU in the wake of Brexit. It is the

:09:07. > :09:13.sense that the world order has changed. We never had any morals

:09:14. > :09:20.about selling arms, look at the billions of dollars we have sent to

:09:21. > :09:26.Saudi Arabia which is now being used to bomb civilians and hospitals in

:09:27. > :09:28.Yemen. It is great that we have human rights concerns in the

:09:29. > :09:33.headline there but it doesn't make any difference to British policy,

:09:34. > :09:36.let's not me under any illusions, we are one of the biggest arms

:09:37. > :09:40.exporters in the world. Post Brexit, as we walk away from the single

:09:41. > :09:45.market on our doorstep, we will be even more reliant on selling weapons

:09:46. > :09:57.to anyone who will buy them. I've never heard his words before, there

:09:58. > :10:05.we go, apparently Trump has a fear of slopes and that is why he was

:10:06. > :10:08.holding her hand! I think bathmophobia is going to be one of

:10:09. > :10:13.the words of the year, everyone is talking about this and classed as a

:10:14. > :10:19.mark of special affection but apparently it might just be the case

:10:20. > :10:25.that he is quite afraid of slopes and he just gathered her hand to

:10:26. > :10:32.steady himself! He's also afraid of touching people because of germs! It

:10:33. > :10:36.will haunt Theresa May, won't it? What a disaster. The whole thing is

:10:37. > :10:40.so embarrassing. I don't know what the rest of the world must think of

:10:41. > :10:46.Britain right now. If you don't condemn authoritarianism, you become

:10:47. > :10:51.complicit in it and she is teaching us that, unfortunately. Let's move

:10:52. > :10:59.away from Theresa May and Donald Trump and moved to the Daily Mail.

:11:00. > :11:03."Don't Call pregnant patients the mothers", and why not? Because it

:11:04. > :11:08.might offend transgender people. Did they say they might be offended? No,

:11:09. > :11:17.but I think these organisations, a lot of them are producing these kind

:11:18. > :11:20.of guides for inclusive language. Of course the mail on Sunday disagrees

:11:21. > :11:26.with it and calls it a ludicrous politically correct objective. The

:11:27. > :11:29.argument is that you should call them pregnant people instead of

:11:30. > :11:33.pregnant mothers, because there are transitioning people who might have

:11:34. > :11:38.babies who might be offended. Would they not be mothers anyway if they

:11:39. > :11:42.are having babies, no matter what your gender you are still giving

:11:43. > :11:48.birth? But mother is a sort of feminine word, isn't it? There is

:11:49. > :11:56.one transitioning person who has become pregnant. Hayden is legally

:11:57. > :12:02.male, he was born a girl but he is transitioning to become a man. I

:12:03. > :12:06.would like to read the original document that this mail on Sunday

:12:07. > :12:10.story is based on. The mail on Sunday does do some good reporting

:12:11. > :12:14.sometimes but my question is, is this a blanket order that the word

:12:15. > :12:18.mothers is now banned? I find that hard to believe. Or is it merely

:12:19. > :12:24.offering language that could be used if you are a doctor treating a

:12:25. > :12:29.transgender patient. Let's face it, our society is evolving. It's not so

:12:30. > :12:33.long ago that we locked people up their sexuality. Yes it's a con the

:12:34. > :12:37.gated area to negotiate and it might make feel -- people feel

:12:38. > :12:42.uncomfortable but people born transgender go through incredible

:12:43. > :12:48.anguish and pain, partly because attitudes in society are so

:12:49. > :12:53.prejudiced still. So let's at least support doctors if they are trying

:12:54. > :13:00.to move beyond that a bit. It's very easy for the Mail on Sunday to

:13:01. > :13:05.create the outraged brigade. I've noticed in a love of forms and

:13:06. > :13:09.things now, you are being asked what pronoun you would like to be

:13:10. > :13:13.referred to by. I think there is a generation of young people coming up

:13:14. > :13:16.for whom the very strict gender divides are not as strict as they

:13:17. > :13:24.were for our generation, they are much more fluid. Headteachers of

:13:25. > :13:31.girls schools have been given guides and told not to call girls girls,

:13:32. > :13:35.instead of saying girls go to your lessons, say pupils go to your

:13:36. > :13:38.lessons. It may be rare to have a transgender child but it is only

:13:39. > :13:42.language, if we can change our language and it stops offence to

:13:43. > :13:51.people, is that that -- is that such a bad thing? The Secretary of State

:13:52. > :14:01.saying that soldiers and police have been failed by this inquiry into the

:14:02. > :14:05.Troubles. The Sunday Telegraph has a strong military constituency amongst

:14:06. > :14:09.its leadership, knows -- so not surprising to see this as the

:14:10. > :14:13.splash. Ministers saying that this inquiry into crimes that were

:14:14. > :14:17.allegedly committed up to 40 years ago in the troubles has gone off the

:14:18. > :14:26.rails. We've seen this with the Iraq inquiry, which has caused terrible

:14:27. > :14:30.handling of officers in the military. Let's face it, Northern

:14:31. > :14:34.Ireland was an extremely dirty conflict and there is no doubt that

:14:35. > :14:37.British troops committing crimes and they should be investigated, but we

:14:38. > :14:42.should also remember that the psychological scars inflicted on

:14:43. > :14:47.tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of British troops who

:14:48. > :14:53.deployed over the years are still very alive today and we need to take

:14:54. > :14:56.that into account. That would apply to all inquiries, where you have got

:14:57. > :15:03.soldiers or police taking part in a conflict. I mean, yesterday there

:15:04. > :15:07.was a march on Downing Street by about 1000 veterans and it was

:15:08. > :15:13.addressed by Dennis Hutchings who is 75 and he has been charged with

:15:14. > :15:16.attempted murder over a fatal shooting in Northern Ireland in

:15:17. > :15:21.1974. They want a statute of limitations. I think there should be

:15:22. > :15:29.a time after a conflict when you draw a line actually, so it doesn't

:15:30. > :15:33.go on for years and years. They want retribution. This is the problem, we

:15:34. > :15:37.fight these wars and the legacy continues. I mean, Northern Ireland

:15:38. > :15:41.has one of the highest rates of post-traumatic stress disorder in

:15:42. > :15:45.the world. Belfast is a tiny city but the ghosts of that conflict are

:15:46. > :15:53.still very much alive. People have a right to demand the truth. I grew up

:15:54. > :16:03.through that and that was my time as a teenager. The truth and

:16:04. > :16:10.reconciliation commission... Yes, right, on that, let's move on. The

:16:11. > :16:15.Observer on page one, "Grassroots Labour revolting on Brexit". This is

:16:16. > :16:18.interesting, isn't it? Jeremy Corbyn himself in the past has been a major

:16:19. > :16:23.rebel and now they have got this three line whip and no one is happy.

:16:24. > :16:29.How do you think this is going to play out? This is the Brexit

:16:30. > :16:33.dilemma, isn't it? The people likely to be hit hardest if we crash out of

:16:34. > :16:38.the single market are people on lower incomes, Labour's

:16:39. > :16:41.constituencies. It is not surprisingly many of the MPs and

:16:42. > :16:45.grassroots Labour supporters are very unhappy to see Jeremy Corbyn

:16:46. > :16:51.falling in line behind Article 50. That is I get -- Adele and it is not

:16:52. > :16:55.going to be easy to resolve. What does it do for Jeremy Corbyn? And

:16:56. > :16:59.Labour because they could be stuck in the middle with nothing through

:17:00. > :17:03.this. It is just a continuation of the internal warfare going on inside

:17:04. > :17:07.the Labour Party. Last night there was this open letter to Jeremy

:17:08. > :17:14.Corbyn circulating on Facebook and now many constituents have signed

:17:15. > :17:19.it. Let's raise through the rest of the list because we are beginning to

:17:20. > :17:23.run out of time. A quick look at the express, the young princes are going

:17:24. > :17:28.to unveil a statue to their mother, Diana, to mark the 20th anniversary

:17:29. > :17:32.which will be in August. It's a long time coming, do you think? I think

:17:33. > :17:37.this is a lovely gesture actually. It's going to be erected in the

:17:38. > :17:42.grounds of Kensington Palace where the public anger and see it. It will

:17:43. > :17:45.be their permanent tribute to her, marking the 20th anniversary of her

:17:46. > :17:57.death. Yes it may have been nice to have it earlier but at we're having

:17:58. > :18:05.it now. Let's jump to John Hurt, we lost John Heard. Can we talk about

:18:06. > :18:09.Prince Harry's expression of emotion and how he is a credit to our

:18:10. > :18:16.country and should resist Donald Trump at the door of Buckingham

:18:17. > :18:21.Palace! Tributes pouring in all over for John Hurt, obviously very

:18:22. > :18:27.beloved. Yes, we all remember that brilliant scene in Alien when it

:18:28. > :18:34.burst out of his chest. And the Elephant Man as well. And if you see

:18:35. > :18:42.Jackie, you can see him. He blazed the priest. Astonishing. -- he plays

:18:43. > :18:48.the priest. He has completed another three films, I think, which we are

:18:49. > :18:53.yet to see. Finally, the Sunday Times, page one, Trident's faulty

:18:54. > :18:57.guidance. This is an embarrassing story, it has been running for a few

:18:58. > :19:00.days, apparently the Trident missile test launch veered off course,

:19:01. > :19:04.heading towards the American mainland before it was detonated in

:19:05. > :19:08.midair and is one assumes it was not equipped with a warhead, but it

:19:09. > :19:12.raises huge questions over the whole purpose of Trident, doesn't it? This

:19:13. > :19:16.enormously expensive deterrent and a problem with it is that the

:19:17. > :19:20.technology is evolving so fast, we are soon going to be having

:19:21. > :19:27.underwater drones that can follow the submarine right out of the...

:19:28. > :19:31.And render it completely obsolete. It said it did what it was supposed

:19:32. > :19:37.to do when something goes wrong, it fears off and explodes. Not on

:19:38. > :19:45.America! But I was reading yesterday or this morning that part of it

:19:46. > :19:49.washed up on a beach... We broke this story last week in the Sunday

:19:50. > :19:54.Times and we have a follow-up story today and I think what our follow-up

:19:55. > :19:57.shows that actually this deterrent was blighted with problems with its

:19:58. > :20:02.navigation control for years before this particular malfunction. Inside

:20:03. > :20:06.the paper there is a really interesting suggestion that maybe

:20:07. > :20:12.the whole system was hacked. And so the reason it malfunctioned... Can

:20:13. > :20:16.we not just mothballed this thing, or are we just have it, just have it

:20:17. > :20:22.with no warheads. No one will ever know and it is still a deterrent! If

:20:23. > :20:27.we ever have to press that button, it's all over anyway. Thank you very

:20:28. > :20:29.much, both of you. It's been great to talk to you.

:20:30. > :20:34.Just a reminder we take a look at tomorrows front pages every

:20:35. > :20:37.evening at 10.40pm here on BBC News.
