Life on Mars. In the sci-fi horror film Life is all what it seems? Mark

:00:00.:00:00.

Kermode will fill us in on The Film Review.

:00:00.:00:11.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:12.:00:15.

With me are Caroline Frost, entertainment editor

:00:16.:00:20.

of the Huffington Post and parliamentary reporter

:00:21.:00:22.

The Metro leads with the Home Secretary putting pressure

:00:23.:00:33.

on internet companies over access to encrypted messages in the wake

:00:34.:00:36.

The Guardian quotes opposition politicians, who say that

:00:37.:00:40.

Amber Rudd's demand is unrealistic and disproportionate.

:00:41.:00:48.

The Telegraph's also covering that story and says Amber Rudd is furious

:00:49.:00:52.

that the attacker's whatsapp messages are being kept secret.

:00:53.:00:54.

One of the main stories in the FT is the police clampdown

:00:55.:00:57.

on anti-corruption protests in Russia.

:00:58.:00:59.

The Express says that millions of families are facing

:01:00.:01:01.

major council tax increases from next month.

:01:02.:01:03.

The Times says Britain risks signing worthless

:01:04.:01:05.

trade deals because ministers are failing to recognise

:01:06.:01:07.

The Mirror's lead features the missing girl

:01:08.:01:10.

Madeline McCann as a former detective claims someone

:01:11.:01:12.

The paper says David Cameron's Downing Street was part of a cover

:01:13.:01:18.

We'll look at some of the different coverage of this issue over WhatsApp

:01:19.:01:31.

and why you can or shouldn't be able to access messages sent on that

:01:32.:01:39.

platform after what Amber Rudd said today. Rudd unrealistic says the

:01:40.:01:45.

Guardian to allow access to WhatsApp, the Home Secretary refuses

:01:46.:01:48.

to rule out an encryption law after the attack but she wants to appeal

:01:49.:01:52.

to the companies to do the right thing and inshore messages can be

:01:53.:01:56.

accessed. Yes, which as you can imagine is her preferred option

:01:57.:02:00.

because if they can that means you don't need all that legislation. The

:02:01.:02:05.

problem is one of their unique brands is their privacy, they are

:02:06.:02:09.

boastful about the fact users around the world can send these very

:02:10.:02:12.

private messages, and in this day and age when we can look into all

:02:13.:02:16.

corners of the Internet, and there's all this chat and spin about state

:02:17.:02:21.

intrusion, it's a big deal for them. Obviously this need for security has

:02:22.:02:25.

come along and many people would think it beats it in this day and

:02:26.:02:29.

age when our personal safety is at risk. She is hoping very much that

:02:30.:02:33.

they will do the right thing and the problem is, as we touched on

:02:34.:02:37.

earlier, is whether they can. One of the things is they say it is

:02:38.:02:41.

encrypted at either end and the chances are, even their own in-house

:02:42.:02:45.

technicians can't access those messages, so it's case of people

:02:46.:02:49.

being prepared to access bones and what you. Critics have said is there

:02:50.:02:55.

a need for this and the practicalities of imposing it on a

:02:56.:03:00.

global scale. The concern is if you provide a backdoor way to access

:03:01.:03:04.

these messages, anybody could do it if you have the know-how, whether

:03:05.:03:08.

your intentions are good or bad. Absolutely. In the UK if the

:03:09.:03:12.

government said in the UK you can't use end to end encryption or it has

:03:13.:03:17.

to be designed with a back door so security services can access it,

:03:18.:03:19.

there's the problem that other actors may want to do that and

:03:20.:03:24.

there's the problem of what that says internationally. It's the

:03:25.:03:28.

British government you can trust us, we are a good government, we're not

:03:29.:03:32.

a bad government. I have some sympathy with why WhatsApp sticks to

:03:33.:03:35.

its opinions but there's a stronger argument for some of the issues

:03:36.:03:44.

around and Publication than this one, WhatsApp are reducing to hand

:03:45.:03:48.

over these messages -- around Google. I would argue why we have

:03:49.:03:53.

become so attached to an app that didn't exist over three or four

:03:54.:03:57.

years ago and people are thinking they need industrial level

:03:58.:04:00.

encryption to their mates about where they are meeting for the pub.

:04:01.:04:06.

I'm not sure that is necessary. Whether you gain these extra

:04:07.:04:10.

privacies by accident or design, once you've got then, many people

:04:11.:04:13.

will say you shouldn't have to give them up. Winning them back over

:04:14.:04:18.

becomes a big deal. Maybe that's the case and maybe 30 years ago we will

:04:19.:04:23.

look at the Wild West we allow the Internet to become, and we have

:04:24.:04:27.

allowed it to become an open market with little regulation and control.

:04:28.:04:30.

Perhaps people will look at the start of the social media age and

:04:31.:04:34.

look at the way we didn't regulate it as absurd. We know many

:04:35.:04:39.

politicians have said the market will dictate everything. It could be

:04:40.:04:44.

in this day and age post trauma, people feel strongly enough to be

:04:45.:04:49.

hunting down an equivalent WhatsApp mechanism that doesn't have this

:04:50.:04:54.

encryption. If there's a boy boycott them WhatsApp will have to do

:04:55.:05:02.

something. Markets don't make decisions about this. Companies are

:05:03.:05:06.

making announcements about their business model and our government is

:05:07.:05:10.

saying can you talk to us, instead of saying we are going to legislate

:05:11.:05:14.

and close down your business and fine you. The Sun is campaigning on

:05:15.:05:23.

this. That is the Sun's view, the headline implies it is, it may not

:05:24.:05:27.

be, it may be paraphrasing what the security services have been saying.

:05:28.:05:35.

They can't decode encrypted messages, though, going back to the

:05:36.:05:40.

initial point. Maybe I have misunderstood the technology, maybe

:05:41.:05:43.

WhatsApp are lying saying their technicians can't access these

:05:44.:05:46.

messages or see other people's messages. They haven't done this to

:05:47.:05:52.

create a hiding place. They've developed something and said it's

:05:53.:05:57.

nothing to do with us what it is used for, if people send messages as

:05:58.:06:01.

terrorists. I understand that but as time goes on it becomes more

:06:02.:06:06.

intolerable. You hear two things from these companies, one is it has

:06:07.:06:11.

nothing to do with us, we just provide the platform, that is

:06:12.:06:15.

unacceptable. Then they say we believe in the first Amendment, and

:06:16.:06:19.

my response is you're in the UK, not the US. The issue with WhatsApp,

:06:20.:06:26.

they are not a publisher like YouTube or Google. They are device,

:06:27.:06:32.

they are an app, they are thing, we use it merrily because we can do

:06:33.:06:36.

group messages and phone calls and send snaps. It has made life easy.

:06:37.:06:41.

It makes you wonder, a wise friend always says to me, if you can't work

:06:42.:06:45.

out what the product is, you are the product and I have been happily

:06:46.:06:49.

using WhatsApp for a long time and it makes you wonder, who am I

:06:50.:06:54.

helping? It is very new to me, you just pick up the phone! On the Sun,

:06:55.:06:59.

defiant daughter revealed, daughter revealed, the daughter of Khalid

:07:00.:07:08.

Masood, whose name is Tegan, who defied his orders it says. I don't

:07:09.:07:12.

want to break any journalistic competences but when it says

:07:13.:07:15.

something has emerged that means it was in the Sunday Times yesterday.

:07:16.:07:20.

If you want to know about it it is all there. Looking in the Times,

:07:21.:07:26.

ices uses terror attack to sign up YouTube recruits, Google fails to

:07:27.:07:30.

stop deluge of propaganda videos -- Isis. What is the evidence that

:07:31.:07:36.

recruitment has taken place despite just the videos -- and not just the

:07:37.:07:44.

videos? The hundreds of foreign fighters in Syria is the evidence.

:07:45.:07:47.

The government in terms of legislation is on a stronger footing

:07:48.:07:52.

here. These tech companies will say they believe in freedom of speech,

:07:53.:07:57.

very nice, but in this case you are a publisher, we are all journalists,

:07:58.:08:01.

if we published hard-core pornography in a newspaper the

:08:02.:08:05.

police would come looking. There are regulations around standards and the

:08:06.:08:07.

government needs to assert itself now. They had to cajole and persuade

:08:08.:08:13.

these companies to take trial sex abuse images off their platforms,

:08:14.:08:17.

they had to be convinced of that. I think the government needs to be a

:08:18.:08:22.

lot harsher with Facebook... Sorry, with Google over YouTube and say if

:08:23.:08:26.

you don't start shutting this down, we will start shutting you down and

:08:27.:08:30.

the issue is these companies have vast revenues, they don't want to

:08:31.:08:33.

pay to regulate their own content. It would be time consuming and a

:08:34.:08:38.

difficult thing to do. They don't want to do it so they say first

:08:39.:08:42.

Amendment rights, nothing to do with us. Mark Zuckerberg has used the

:08:43.:08:46.

same argument because of the delay in regulation in the Facebook world.

:08:47.:08:51.

Brexit negotiators and risk rushing into harmful trade deals in the

:08:52.:08:57.

Times. Steve Wilcock from the School of economics, the LSE, helping civil

:08:58.:09:02.

servants get ready for these investigations. He is really saying

:09:03.:09:06.

that this idea of no deal is better than a bad deal, a great soundbite

:09:07.:09:11.

but Theresa May is taking issue with that. He is taking issue with that.

:09:12.:09:16.

It's interesting what he is saying about trade deals, what the

:09:17.:09:19.

government is saying, as soon as we leave the EU we will be able to do

:09:20.:09:24.

quick trade deals with the US, China, Australia and the. He is

:09:25.:09:29.

warning against the political expediency saying we can get this

:09:30.:09:32.

done in two years or 18 months will produce bad trade deals -- and New

:09:33.:09:36.

Zealand. Trade deals take as long as they take. The government is keen to

:09:37.:09:41.

give off the impression that as soon as we leave trade deals will be done

:09:42.:09:45.

across the piece and he is warning it could be more complex and you

:09:46.:09:49.

need to be more wary and ring into a trade negotiation with the Trump

:09:50.:09:58.

White House and the big factor is time -- entering into. When you look

:09:59.:10:03.

at the trade deals the WTO has been involved in, they go for years. I

:10:04.:10:09.

think they are not looking at the size of the EU. We have talked about

:10:10.:10:14.

how it has been fractured by the UK removing itself, but it remains an

:10:15.:10:17.

enormous trading mechanism. People will say we will be fine, and it

:10:18.:10:22.

just seems to me as though the message is Brexit will work at any

:10:23.:10:27.

cost and we will make anything... It can't be seen to fail. If we're

:10:28.:10:31.

going to leave the EU we have to make Brexit work one way or another.

:10:32.:10:36.

Saying a bad deal is better than no deal, I understand why she says it

:10:37.:10:40.

and she says it because her predecessor David Cameron went into

:10:41.:10:43.

European negotiations saying it would be tough, and he came back

:10:44.:10:47.

with nothing, that's why we had a referendum and he lost because he

:10:48.:10:51.

came at it from a position of weakness and not having the vision

:10:52.:10:55.

to say we will leave if we don't get what we want. We should be willing

:10:56.:10:59.

them to get good deals quickly. Of course we should. He is warning that

:11:00.:11:03.

you should do trade deals within a set period because it is politically

:11:04.:11:06.

expedient for you, you should recognise they are more complex than

:11:07.:11:10.

that and if it takes three years rather than two years, it will be

:11:11.:11:14.

better. I think he is saying country above party again. Looking at the

:11:15.:11:20.

Telegraph, GPs failing women, say MPs. According to this article

:11:21.:11:24.

nearly half of women need to visit their GP ten times before being

:11:25.:11:29.

diagnosed with common gynaecological complaints. This is slightly odd

:11:30.:11:33.

because we get invitations at various ages to go for all sorts of

:11:34.:11:38.

checks and tests. I also think that a lot of these conditions that have

:11:39.:11:42.

been referred to are outsourced to different screening centres. I'm not

:11:43.:11:46.

sure if that has somehow been lost in the small print but actually a

:11:47.:11:49.

lot of women are catered for elsewhere. But these big is alone

:11:50.:11:53.

are pretty shocking. Anecdotally, I'm not sure if any of my friends

:11:54.:11:57.

would stand for ten visits before they get told it's maybe not in your

:11:58.:12:03.

head. -- these figures. Some women reported feeling they were going mad

:12:04.:12:06.

after being told there was nothing wrong despite years of painful

:12:07.:12:10.

symptoms. As I would say, if it was a man it would be slightly fewer

:12:11.:12:17.

visits. Although, sometimes it has been argued services for men's

:12:18.:12:20.

health has not been as well advertised and funded as those for

:12:21.:12:26.

women. Men are much less likely to see a doctor, women seek reassurance

:12:27.:12:30.

from doctors more than men and that can lead to serious health problems.

:12:31.:12:34.

As a man, I am really shocked by this and it's another reminder to me

:12:35.:12:38.

of the million ways in which women are treated differently in our

:12:39.:12:41.

society, the million ways they can be discriminated against and it's

:12:42.:12:45.

really good the APPG on women's health, a parliamentary group that

:12:46.:12:49.

has produced the best, the sort of group 20 years ago Tory MPs would

:12:50.:12:55.

have laughed at as people like Harriet Harman pushed forward these

:12:56.:12:58.

agendas, it's now so prominent they can be on the front page of the

:12:59.:13:01.

Telegraph and the work they are doing is taken seriously because it

:13:02.:13:05.

is serious. And it is cross-party? It is. A surprise because so many

:13:06.:13:10.

women are GPs. It's not like it's an old men's club in the centre of

:13:11.:13:14.

London. So little time when you get in to see a GP, the clock is

:13:15.:13:18.

ticking! I don't know whether I have anything to say about this next

:13:19.:13:25.

story. Not that I need to! The Daily Mail, Harry, Prince Harry, and his

:13:26.:13:30.

American actress girlfriend, Meghan, are setting up home together.

:13:31.:13:39.

Discuss. That's interesting! Is it? They are going to be moving into

:13:40.:13:43.

Kensington Palace, reports claim, which is reasonably significant in

:13:44.:13:46.

terms of whether they will actually get together. I would have been

:13:47.:13:50.

surprised if the Royal family would have thought a divorced American

:13:51.:13:53.

actress would have been an appropriate consort for someone

:13:54.:13:57.

already quite close to the throne in terms of in-line for the throne but

:13:58.:14:01.

change and the Queen has changed with them. Prince Harry is not going

:14:02.:14:06.

to be king, is he crazy I have been watching the series about the Royal

:14:07.:14:13.

House of Windsor. If he sets up home with his girlfriend, we know that

:14:14.:14:17.

William and Kate set up house, it was very lovely in the Welsh privacy

:14:18.:14:22.

of Anglesey. We know that Edward did. Anything but another royal

:14:23.:14:27.

divorce, anything. We will wait and see, we wish them well whatever they

:14:28.:14:31.

choose. That's the papers for tonight. Caroline and Tony, lovely

:14:32.:14:36.

to see you. As always, thank you very much. Coming up next, The Film

:14:37.:14:38.

Review.
