:00:21. > :00:21.narrated. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead
:00:22. > :00:25.to what the papers will be With me is the journalist,
:00:26. > :00:28.Lucy Cavendish, and Tom Bergin, Tomorrow's front pages then,
:00:29. > :00:31.starting with this. The stop story for the Times
:00:32. > :00:34.is about efforts by UK ministers to push for what it describes
:00:35. > :00:37.as "very punitive sanctions" against Russia if the country
:00:38. > :00:40.refuses to cut ties with President The Daily Telegraph leads
:00:41. > :00:43.with claims that Russia and Iran are threatening to retaliate
:00:44. > :00:45.against the United States with military action if the US
:00:46. > :00:48.launches more airstrikes on Syria. The paper quotes a command centre
:00:49. > :00:51.made up of Russian and Iranian forces accusing President Trump
:00:52. > :00:54.of crossing "red lines." On its front page, The Daily Mail
:00:55. > :00:59.carries the same story. It also has a picture
:01:00. > :01:02.of Chris Bevington, the British man who was killed in the attack
:01:03. > :01:05.in Stockholm on Friday. The Metro is also among those
:01:06. > :01:07.leading on the threats Its front page also shows
:01:08. > :01:12.a picture of the coffin of the Westminster Attack victim
:01:13. > :01:14.PC Keith Palmer prior The US military is the focus
:01:15. > :01:22.for the Financial Times. It leads on the US President's
:01:23. > :01:25.decision to increase US naval power The Independent's main story,
:01:26. > :01:28.billed as an exclusive, is about the rising number
:01:29. > :01:31.of domestic violence victims withdrawing charges
:01:32. > :01:32.against their alleged abusers. And the Guardian says that most
:01:33. > :01:52.asylum seekers are placed Lots of the papers, as you might
:01:53. > :01:55.expect, are going with the aftermath of the cruise missile strikes by the
:01:56. > :02:00.United States against Syrian forces earlier in the week. The Daily
:02:01. > :02:09.Mail's headline, Russia up the ante on Syria. We will hit back say army
:02:10. > :02:17.chiefs. Anonymous warning of real war. -- an ominous. The idea was
:02:18. > :02:22.chemical warfare was used by Syria and that is the red line that Barack
:02:23. > :02:28.Obama put down and did nothing about. He was not president then,
:02:29. > :02:34.but Donald Trump of course ridiculed Barack Obama's line on that. Russia
:02:35. > :02:40.is clearly using very threatening tones. It is hard to know exactly
:02:41. > :02:45.what this would mean underground. But the reality is the US has got
:02:46. > :02:49.troops, and according to reports, it could be 500 US troops within Syrian
:02:50. > :03:00.border is. So consequently, there are targets the Russians could hit.
:03:01. > :03:14.They could hit them and say they were aiming for Islamic State and
:03:15. > :03:18.create the deniable excuse. But this was done with Syria and Turkey after
:03:19. > :03:25.Turkey shut down one of their gets. They pulled back from that. -- jets.
:03:26. > :03:28.Just because we are seeing threatening statements does not mean
:03:29. > :03:35.Russia will follow through. The other option is sanctions, which
:03:36. > :03:38.would not need the agreement of the United Nations. They have not been
:03:39. > :03:42.able to pass resolutions because of the veto by Russia. This is
:03:43. > :03:48.something Boris Johnson has proposed recently. That story has moved on
:03:49. > :03:53.slightly. There has been a lot of worry is about the fact that Boris
:03:54. > :03:57.Johnson is not going to go to Russia, which he said he was going
:03:58. > :04:02.to do. -- worries. But we have moved on with the idea of sanctions. The
:04:03. > :04:04.problem with that take, and it is difficult to figure out what effect
:04:05. > :04:09.the sanctions have. There are already sanctions in place and that
:04:10. > :04:16.has not been anything clearer about what those sanctions would be. How
:04:17. > :04:21.would you work out whether it is having an effect. This is ominous,
:04:22. > :04:25.that threat of real war, that is in the Daily Mail. Obviously sanctions
:04:26. > :04:30.would be a better option. But what sort of sanctions can be put in
:04:31. > :04:37.place? There are often financial sanctions. The Times, tough new
:04:38. > :04:44.sanctions on Vladimir Putin. Boris Johnson says he is being ridiculed
:04:45. > :04:55.on Twitter by Russian people. It is like Monty Python sketch. Trading
:04:56. > :04:58.insults. The talk more recently with tighter banking sanctions, at the
:04:59. > :05:04.end of the day we could turn off the taps in the oil pipes and shut the
:05:05. > :05:08.Russian banks off with a swift messaging system. There are things
:05:09. > :05:12.we could do. The question is do we have the intention of rushing things
:05:13. > :05:18.that far. So far, the sanctions have been incremental. So there is more
:05:19. > :05:21.coherence between what the US and UK are doing than within the Trump
:05:22. > :05:26.administration. We have had Nikki Haley, the US Ambassador to the UN,
:05:27. > :05:34.sort of talking about regime change, you know, removing Bashar al-Assad
:05:35. > :05:37.from power. There is a big question mark about... Well, there seems a
:05:38. > :05:42.shift, Bashar al-Assad was never going to be removed from power, it
:05:43. > :05:48.felt like. And now that does seem to have shifted completely. But with no
:05:49. > :05:53.suggestion of what the next sort of powerplay would actually be. I mean,
:05:54. > :05:58.the compensation seems to be learning quite quickly, in its own
:05:59. > :06:03.view. President Trump said after he saw the images on television of the
:06:04. > :06:09.child victims, he changed his mind, which is interesting. You know,
:06:10. > :06:12.politicians don't usually admit making a dramatic change of mind in
:06:13. > :06:16.such a short time. There is nothing wrong with changing your mind. Maybe
:06:17. > :06:21.politicians should do it more often. But it does mean that there are
:06:22. > :06:25.inconsistencies that you are referring to and it is natural they
:06:26. > :06:32.would occur. Of course, one would hope you would think over time they
:06:33. > :06:36.become more consistent. It is not a good idea to have many different
:06:37. > :06:41.ideas. Talking about Korea and moving naval vessels over there. We
:06:42. > :06:46.have a lot of fronts to be considering. Now, staying with the
:06:47. > :06:53.Times. Sorry, I am moving on to pick the NHS seeks ?10 billion as a cash
:06:54. > :06:57.boost from hedge funds. Now, the government will say, hold on a
:06:58. > :07:03.minute, we gave you the billions of pounds extra that you needed to be
:07:04. > :07:09.why is this ?10 billion needed? -- needed. Partially because there is
:07:10. > :07:12.so much money needed, but also interest rates are so low it is a
:07:13. > :07:16.golden opportunity to raise money for infrastructure without having to
:07:17. > :07:22.go back to the government and asking for more money. Umm of course, hedge
:07:23. > :07:26.funds are not known for generally giving people money, and that's the
:07:27. > :07:32.problem, at low interest rates, and being kind to people. They need to
:07:33. > :07:37.make money ultimately. They are ultimately in it to make money. So,
:07:38. > :07:41.at some point, the NHS has in borrowing money that they will have
:07:42. > :07:45.to pay back, and some more, that they don't have. How is that
:07:46. > :07:50.actually going to work as white that reminds me of the private finance
:07:51. > :07:54.initiative, doesn't it? It is difficult to borrow your way out of
:07:55. > :07:59.poverty, especially not spending that money that you borrow on some
:08:00. > :08:04.kind of cash flow generating asset. The issue is that hedge funds do not
:08:05. > :08:06.have the biggest balance sheet in the world. Because that which they
:08:07. > :08:12.raise capital is significantly higher than that which the borrows
:08:13. > :08:21.at. If you are the NHS, the cost you could borrow money off the
:08:22. > :08:25.government, possibly of the Government Works Loan Board, or go
:08:26. > :08:28.to a hedge fund, the hedge fund will be more expensive. There is this
:08:29. > :08:35.real concerns are that this may not be the cheapest option. -- concern.
:08:36. > :08:38.How come they cannot get this money off the usual funding mechanisms
:08:39. > :08:42.from the government for infrastructure? Is it because it
:08:43. > :08:45.does not meet the usual standard to apply? There are many elements here
:08:46. > :08:51.which would make one be concerned that these could end up being, not
:08:52. > :09:00.just a windup Pailan, but quite expensive. -- pay loan. So many of
:09:01. > :09:04.these PFI loans that were signed previously, hospitals got into
:09:05. > :09:11.trouble with them. Wood and a taxpayer be concerned at the track
:09:12. > :09:16.record? -- wouldn't. The Sun. We will tread carefully. A campaign for
:09:17. > :09:24.justice says the front page. 35 years after the IRA murdered
:09:25. > :09:34.four-year is, the Hyde Park bomber must pay. -- four people. It is a
:09:35. > :09:42.horrible attack. People remember it from the images of the horses that
:09:43. > :09:52.were killed, very visual. They were depicted on the television and
:09:53. > :09:55.newspapers. There was an IRA attack back in 1982. Though it has been
:09:56. > :09:59.convicted of that. There have been investigations and a trial. The Sun
:10:00. > :10:04.is now saying they are unhappy with the outcome of an attempt to, you
:10:05. > :10:08.know, prosecute somebody for that to be and they want to take a civil
:10:09. > :10:13.action and are trying to raise money for that. -- that. That is a very
:10:14. > :10:18.unusual thing for a newspaper to do. And within the context of a, well, a
:10:19. > :10:23.really complicated conflict, which is now in the process of the end
:10:24. > :10:28.result, that is also bringing some risk. You have to choose which evil
:10:29. > :10:33.acts you want to put right. Then people could see you are picking
:10:34. > :10:41.favourites. The fact this is the Sun is especially the case because this
:10:42. > :10:46.was almost certainly, one of the most, I think, controversial
:10:47. > :11:02.headlines in newspapers. The Irish bustards headline. The day after.
:11:03. > :11:05.The Sun decided to put pictures of dead horses and said Irish, not IRA.
:11:06. > :11:11.That was perceived as racist. The Sun would not be an independent
:11:12. > :11:18.arbiter on such issues. It is definitely going to cause some
:11:19. > :11:23.disquiet. Newspapers always run all sorts of campaigns, but raising
:11:24. > :11:30.money for a court case, that is what sets this part. It is a civil case.
:11:31. > :11:35.Again, I would really question why The Sun is doing this campaign now.
:11:36. > :11:40.Newspapers have always been good at campaigning. Many are proud to say
:11:41. > :11:44.they do good campaigning. I am not sure why it is campaigning right
:11:45. > :11:49.now. And, you know, it is very difficult, because we cannot look at
:11:50. > :11:53.the legalities of it. It would be a civil case, obviously. We will keep
:11:54. > :12:09.an eye on it. The Telegraph, finally. Pay of Southern Rail boss
:12:10. > :12:12.almost doubles. Charles, getting on to half a million almost in salary.
:12:13. > :12:17.Of course, nearly a third of Southern's services were late last
:12:18. > :12:23.year. And chaos and misery. We have seen it all over the media and
:12:24. > :12:30.Twitter. Absolutely everywhere. People are having a really horrible
:12:31. > :12:38.time. No seats, trains all over the place, striking. It doesn't actually
:12:39. > :12:44.say why, but this gentleman, his salary is going up half 1 million.
:12:45. > :12:53.He may decide he will not take it because of the situation he is in.
:12:54. > :12:58.But who knows? It is a PR disaster. This is difficult. Often someone's
:12:59. > :13:01.pay get scrutinised. But if it is in their contract, the company needs to
:13:02. > :13:08.pay it. There may be no performance aspect to it either. The negative
:13:09. > :13:12.outcomes you are referring to, the tardiness, it may not be his fault.
:13:13. > :13:21.He could be being measured on different parameters. The buck has
:13:22. > :13:27.to stop somewhere. Yes. But it is all eagle. And it is in his
:13:28. > :13:30.contract. The issue is that comes into that rampant executive pay
:13:31. > :13:36.issue we are seeing. -- legal. We have seen it be totally disconnected
:13:37. > :13:44.from performance. Executive pay is rocketing up in performance is not
:13:45. > :13:49.doing the same thing. It keeps on rising. That is the issue MPs are
:13:50. > :13:53.looking at and recommending changes to. But the government has no
:13:54. > :13:58.appetite for that. That is it for me papers tonight. Don't forget, all of
:13:59. > :14:02.the papers are on line on the BBC News website. You can read a
:14:03. > :14:08.detailed review. It is there for you seven days a week to be you can see
:14:09. > :14:13.us there as well. Each night is posted shortly after we have gone
:14:14. > :14:16.home. -- week. Thank you both of you. Coming up next, The Film
:14:17. > :14:18.Review.
