We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment - | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says he takes his share of responsibility | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
for his party's defeat by the Conservatives | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Speaking at the Scottish Labour conference - | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
I've been elected twice to lead this party. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
All my energies go into leading this party - | :00:31. | :00:43. | |
all our members' energies go into this party. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Britain faces a 'sustained and serious' level of terror threat | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
from Islamist extremists - that's according to the Independent | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Sir Mo Farah has reiterated that he is a clean athlete | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
after a leaked report by the US anti-doping agency suggested | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
that his coach Alberto Salazar may have broken drugs rules. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
In a further sign of worsening relations between Donald Trump | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
and the media, the US President has announced | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
he won't attend this year's White House Correspondents dinner. | :01:06. | :01:27. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
With me are the journalists James Rampton and Martin Bentham, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
home affairs editor at the London Evening Standard. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Good evening. We can look at some of the front pages. | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
The Metro leads with a story about five people hit by a car in South | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
London. The paper also marks | :02:00. | :02:00. | |
the Oscars 2017 with a picture The Financial Times | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
reports on the tensions between some American banks | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
who employ thousands of people who's promised to bring | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
jobs back to the US. The Express claims that millions | :02:16. | :02:27. | |
of us will be forced to carry on working into our 80s, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
following a warning from a former The Daily Telegraph features a photo | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
of the British actress Naomi Harris ahead of the Oscars. We can start | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
with the Times newspaper. This story about the Scots demanding a new | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
referendum. Curious because I thought it had gone away. It is a | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
ticking time bomb not going away. Senior figures in the government say | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
the impact of Brexit on the UK devolution settlement is the | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
government's greatest concern at present. The rumours are swirling | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
about Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister in Scotland, is preparing | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
to table another referendum when Brexit, I'm sorry, when Article 50 | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
is triggered. If the UK Prime Minister Theresa May rejects that, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
people say it could cause a constitutional crisis and I think | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
that the state of the union is one of the things that is very much in | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
play, and I would say is one of the disastrous consequences of Brexit, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
like the border between Northern Ireland and the republic that has | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
not been properly worked out by the UK Government and I fear it will | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
lead to a lot of plot on the carpet. The last opinion poll I recall about | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
this had a large majority of Scottish people against a new | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
referendum will stop does it mean the sands are shifting? Not that we | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
know of. Nicola Sturgeon wants to hold a gun to Theresa May's head and | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
has been doing all along. Of course, it is a legitimate fear number 10 | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
will have, and it would be destabilising it a vote was to take | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
place. The problem for Nicola Sturgeon is what you said. The | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
opinion polls indicate the majority would be against. She will not want | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
to hold one if she thinks she will lose. Some of the key things that | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
stopped the Scottish people voting in favour last time remain, such as | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
they would not remain part of the EU, even though Nicola Sturgeon went | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
to Brussels to try to strike some sort of deal. That is an uncertain | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
prospect and the official position from Europe is they would not be | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
part of the EU, and also they would have to be part of the pound | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
sterling. And if they have that, we would control economic policy in | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
this country and the rate of exchange. There are complexities. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Echoes of the referendum in the first place. I noticed this story | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
about concerns about Northern Ireland. Apparently the Cabinet have | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
been discussing that. There are going to be elections this Friday | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
for Stormont because the assembly dissolved earlier this year over | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
another crisis. It seems that there is an intense sense of disorder and | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
chaos that is wreaking this nation at the moment and the fact that | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
there is not a sitting government within Northern Ireland makes it all | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the more difficult. The Republic come into play here because that is | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
the only land border the UK will have with the EU, has at the moment | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
and will have after Brexit. I think these are incredibly difficult | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
constitutional issues and I fear the government does not have answers to | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
them. We will talk about it later. We are back in an hour. Another | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
interesting story, about tech giants and cyber bullying. This is an issue | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
that concerns people, certainly parents and adults as well, that the | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
story here is Facebook, Twitter and others are summoned to Whitehall to | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
demand there are better ways of identifying people who are abusing | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
other people on social media and basically making their lives | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
unpleasant or worse and trying to remove that content in the way they | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
seek to do with extremist and terrorism material, and there has | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
been a concern not enough has been done. Women have talked about the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
problem where they get misogynistic abuse and so on. It is an important | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
issue that the government is trying to put pressure on some of these | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
technology companies to try to address. The technology company | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
claimed they work hard and if you are threatened with actual violence | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
it is a matter for the police. It ties in with a shocking story you | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
featured about the singer Lily Allen who said she has come off Twitter | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
because she was getting abuse, if you can believe it, because she had | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
a stillbirth. Shocking is an overused word but it is shocking | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
people could think that is a legitimate thing to do. What Diane | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Abbott said I found disturbing was that yes, you can block someone but | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
they can change their name and start abusing with the new Dame and there | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
is no way of tracing this. Part of the concern is that it is up to the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
individual who is being persecuted to raise that concern with the | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
social media provider, that is a criticism made and the idea behind | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
this I think is that the company would proactively act to identify | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
the stuff... They identify word usage and patterns of behaviour and | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
they can do that. They have a close eye on what is going on and that is | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
the idea behind this. I think the police could be more proactive. They | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
have prosecuted successfully, the CPS, the file anti-Semite who abused | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
the Labour MP. I think more should be done because the iron of this | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
storm, the people there, are released offering. Harassment. That | :08:52. | :09:04. | |
is a criminal offence potentially. The Times newspaper has a picture | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
that older viewers, and older presenters, may be familiar with. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Margaret Thatcher with Norman Tebbit beside her. She just had an election | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
victory. What is this about? I believe a certain presenter was | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
there that night. I cannot deny it. You are too young! 1987. The famous | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
night when Margaret Thatcher held up three fingers because it was her | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
third victory and Norman Tebbit, her great ally, by her side and the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
great irony is that building, when it was relinquished by the Tories, | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
was given to the EU India is now called Europe House. One of the | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
bonuses of Brexit is they will try to buy it back. There is a rich | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
irony that Mrs Thatcher was brought down by her antipathy towards Europe | :09:59. | :10:10. | |
when she said no, no, no, dejected -- to Delors. One wonders about | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
property values in that part of London and whether they can afford | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
it. Only the EU can afford it! The Daily Express understory, they | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
mention it on the front page but the details are inside and familiar | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
figures, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. Nigel Farage again with | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Donald Trump, at a dinner this time on the Saturday night, last night. | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
Dinner with Donald it is captioned. Nigel Farage showing again what | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
great friends he is. Not many people in this country are keen on Donald | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
Trump but Nigel Farage seems to be and there he is at the centre of it. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
I was interested in the table setting. He seems a little bit far | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
away. Perhaps not central enough for his liking. But grinning like the | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Cheshire cat. It looks like the dinner party from hell. Two of the | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
most unpleasant people on the planet sitting at the same table, that is | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
my view. There will be many people thinking, that is great, Nigel | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Farage is making contact with Donald Trump but as a journalist, at the | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
moment, I feel angry with what the president is doing. He has excluded | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the BBC and New York Times and Washington Post from briefings and | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
it is the first time a sitting US president does not go to the White | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
House correspondent 's dinner and there is a hostility to the press | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
that is not democratic and to make it worse Nigel Farage says the media | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
is losing the battle big time. But that is my view. Within the story, | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
the pictures were posted on Twitter amid rumours Theresa May will | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
increase attempts to woo the president with an invitation to | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
address the Tory conference in October. It seems the President's | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
much talked about visit seems to be slipping back. I am not sure if this | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
is the second one. Maybe a second one. It would seem unlikely he would | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
come twice. That would be a political visit and the state visit | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
would be a state to state interchange. There would be one | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
visit... You cannot have US president here quickly for a | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
conference. I hear he will be doing a stand-up slot in a pub in Balham | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
that night, as well! The Financial Times. Trump on television. What is | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
this about? This is a small story proving comedy gold on TV. His comic | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
foes in the US, their ratings revenues have shot up because he is | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
easy to lampoon. We had a great clip on your news bulletin earlier of the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
White House dinner from 2011 with Barack Obama, who was then | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
president, making fun of Donald Trump in the audience. Of course, | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
trying to have comedy then and the joke at the time was Donald Trump | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
becoming president. That was meant to be funny and it has now become | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
reality. I read somewhere it was that moment when Donald Trump | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
sitting there, not smiling, and fed up... Livid. It may have been the | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
moment he thought, right, I will go for the job. I would say the | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
satirical programmes are really working because Donald Trump is so | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
upset about them. Saturday Night Live, they did a brilliant | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
impression, by Alec Baldwin, and he was tweeting in the programme saying | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
it was a disgrace, as its ratings went through the roof. And then | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
there was a brilliant impersonation of Sean Spicer attacking | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
journalists, with the podium. Sean Spicer said it was beyond me. You | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
know you are effective if your targets complain. A lot of people | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
all over the world think Donald Trump is terrible, but his | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
popularity generally among American voters, record low for an incoming | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
president, his standing among Republican supporters, nobody has | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
had it higher. Of course. As a journalist, I agree about the media | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
in a sense, on the other hand, that has been his strategy. He can argue | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
he communicates in his own way with the people he wants to communicate | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
with and we are some corrupting influence between. Not what I think, | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
but that is his stance and it has been effective for him will stop of | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
course, it becomes worrying whether it is based on misinformation and | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
alternative facts that are not facts. I interviewed earlier a | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
political scientist in Washington who said it is not a short step from | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
this to suppression of the media in America. This is extremist language | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
now. I saw the interview and I was interested. He said Donald Trump had | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
affinities with President Erdogan in Turkey and Egypt. It might be an | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
extreme comparison, and... Turkey has more journalists locked up than | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
any other nation in the world per capita. Somebody so keen to exclude | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
people who disagree with him, he is pernicious. We can still reporters | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
journalists and the BBC who has been excluded will continue to report | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
what is going on and maybe rather than focusing on the briefing, you | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
report on what is happening the substance of it, and that way you | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
can hold people to account and so unless he goes down the road of | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
those people who lock people up, it is a long way from suppression. Very | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
quickly, back to the Times newspaper. Scrap use by dates on | :16:26. | :16:37. | |
milk. It says to use the sniff test. You can drink it until it starts to | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
smell not very pleasant. You told me earlier about scraping mould off | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
staff. -- stuff. It is not the government about to do something it | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
is telling us to do something obvious. We waste 100 million pints | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
a year because of the sell-by date. We throw away ?700 of food a year, | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
the equivalent of 500 meals. In a nation where lots of people are | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
struggling and using food banks and a world where many are starving, | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
that is terrible. We have to leave it there. Thanks. That is it for | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
now. I'll be back at 11 for a full news | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
bulletin and we'll be taking a second look at the papers | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
with our guests at 11.30. Sara Baume has written a novel that | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
deals with one of greatest contemporary problems, | :17:33. | :17:46. | |
and perhaps her own experience too - the feeling of loss, | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
maybe hopelessness, among young | :17:51. | :17:55. |
