:00:13. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:17. > :00:19.With me are Jenni Russell, columnist at the Times and Iain Martin
:00:20. > :00:29.Good to have you both in the studio, thank you for coming in. Let's take
:00:30. > :00:31.a look at some of the front pages. The Daily Telegraph
:00:32. > :00:33.leads with a message from Donald Trump's son Eric -
:00:34. > :00:36.that the White House won't bow to pressure from the Kremlin -
:00:37. > :00:51.saying there will be be 'no-one The Dyer also leads with that story.
:00:52. > :00:52.A warning from the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that Russia must ditch
:00:53. > :00:54.President Assad. The Financial Times focuses
:00:55. > :00:55.on the potential sanctions for Barclays CEO Jes Staley,
:00:56. > :00:57.following an on-going investigation into his conduct
:00:58. > :01:02.in a whistle-blowing case. The Guardian says a new HIV drug
:01:03. > :01:05.to be given to people in Scotland free of charge,
:01:06. > :01:07.to protect them from infection, puts pressure on the NHS in England
:01:08. > :01:11.to roll out the drug too. The Express also leads
:01:12. > :01:13.with a medical story, and the new pump that helps patients
:01:14. > :01:15.recover from severe disease The Mirror carries tributes
:01:16. > :01:23.to PC Keith Palmer, Thousands of police
:01:24. > :01:25.officers lined the streets And finally, the Metro covers
:01:26. > :01:44.the funeral of PC Keith Palmer. We are going to cross the water to
:01:45. > :01:49.the Atlantic, over the Atlantic to America. Donald Trump's son, Eric
:01:50. > :01:56.has given an interview to the Telegraph where he says Putin won't
:01:57. > :01:58.bully us. More alarmingly it seems from this conversation the main
:01:59. > :02:03.point of sending of those missiles was to make sure he and his father
:02:04. > :02:08.could defuse the threat posed to trump by the Russia scandal. One of
:02:09. > :02:11.Eric Tram's statement is if there is anything Syria did, it was to
:02:12. > :02:17.validate the fact there is no Russia. So his main take on this
:02:18. > :02:22.event is that my father will now no longer be under suspicion for his
:02:23. > :02:27.links with Russia. And Putin won't bully us. If he wants a fight, we
:02:28. > :02:31.won't be intimidated by talk of war. Like two bullies in the playground
:02:32. > :02:38.squaring up and say, if you hit me, I will hit you back. Is the FBI's
:02:39. > :02:42.investigation, the other investigations, will they care about
:02:43. > :02:46.the missiles being sent to Syria, suggesting Donald Trump is not in
:02:47. > :02:53.league with President Putin? I am sure you are right. They are not
:02:54. > :02:57.going to give a monkeys. Whilst your cynicism is justified, it also
:02:58. > :03:05.represents a more serious pivot on foreign policy. Absolutely. The
:03:06. > :03:08.sun's take on this, practically the first thing he says is this...
:03:09. > :03:13.That's what's illuminating. I'm not saying there was an something real
:03:14. > :03:17.going on. As William Hague says writing in the Telegraph tomorrow,
:03:18. > :03:22.essentially, the former Foreign Secretary, these are as follows,
:03:23. > :03:26.that Trump has worked out, incredible it has taken him this
:03:27. > :03:34.wrong, that Russia is not a reliable ally, is how he puts it, in terms of
:03:35. > :03:44.international affairs. Worked out... Better late than never. It counts as
:03:45. > :03:49.progress. Continuing this theme with the Guardian. Rex Tillerson, US
:03:50. > :03:52.Secretary of State, US will protect innocents from aggressors says Rex
:03:53. > :03:57.Tillerson. This is a man who is the chief diplomat for an administration
:03:58. > :04:02.that was not interested in protecting innocents, necessarily.
:04:03. > :04:08.As far as the explanation of foreign policy that Mr Trump was putting out
:04:09. > :04:13.during his campaign. It was America first.
:04:14. > :04:16.And let's not get involved in strange foreign affairs of which we
:04:17. > :04:20.know little and understand less. I was worried about this sentence
:04:21. > :04:23.which Rex Tillerson said the US will hold to account any and all who
:04:24. > :04:26.commit crimes against the innocent anywhere in the world. That is a
:04:27. > :04:30.fabulous sentiment that America doesn't have the willpower or the
:04:31. > :04:33.understanding all resources to do it. It's actually a meaningless
:04:34. > :04:40.statement. It way beyond retaliating through the use of chemical weapons.
:04:41. > :04:45.If your going to Zimbabwe, Congo, stopping the bombing the US is
:04:46. > :04:50.complicit in in Yemen? This is a nonsensical statement and no
:04:51. > :04:53.diplomat, no one in the diplomatic service would be foolish enough to
:04:54. > :04:56.make it. They will have to go back from it because every single
:04:57. > :05:00.catastrophe in the world, people can turn to America and say, you said
:05:01. > :05:06.you would defend us. They have flipped in less than a week from the
:05:07. > :05:09.America first policy to classic liberal ultra-intervention was. I
:05:10. > :05:15.think what is really behind it, and you can see the influence, you
:05:16. > :05:18.mentioned Eric Trump, but Ivanka Trump seems to be winning the
:05:19. > :05:27.battle. For influence within the White House. The way in which Steve
:05:28. > :05:31.Bannon, the populace, one of the architects of Trump's victory, the
:05:32. > :05:34.way he has been sidelined. Perhaps we would expect to see manoeuvred
:05:35. > :05:40.out of the White House. And the are moving in. And try to normalise his
:05:41. > :05:44.presidency after the embarrassment of the first few months, if you
:05:45. > :05:48.like. The key phrase in Washington seems to be at the moment, whatever
:05:49. > :05:53.you do, don't make dad look bad. Whoever does that will get fired.
:05:54. > :05:56.They are trying in an interesting way, exaggerating for effect, but
:05:57. > :06:01.they are trying to normalise his presidency after a bizarre start.
:06:02. > :06:08.But all US presidents go through this. This conversion... They all go
:06:09. > :06:13.insane, we're not going to be the world's policeman. George W Bush did
:06:14. > :06:16.it, a more humble policy. Obama, pivot a bit towards Asia but he
:06:17. > :06:23.won't be running around the world saving lives. Was a car classic
:06:24. > :06:28.example. It took horrible pictures of ethnic cleansing across-the-board
:06:29. > :06:30.in Kosovo for him to get involved in the Balkans. Every American
:06:31. > :06:35.president says they won't get involved globally but they end up
:06:36. > :06:39.having to do it. The difficulty is they look round and quite properly
:06:40. > :06:41.think that's what happening in the world of horrors, and America is
:06:42. > :06:46.ultimately more powerful than anyone else. All of us wish these
:06:47. > :06:49.atrocities were not happening and we wish there were magic solutions to
:06:50. > :06:54.stop them happening. America's record is pretty poor at getting it
:06:55. > :07:00.right, as we've seen in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan. None of those countries
:07:01. > :07:04.are in a good situation now. The problem is, our intentions, and any
:07:05. > :07:07.American President's good intentions very rarely end up with good
:07:08. > :07:12.solutions on the ground, because the world is complicated and there are
:07:13. > :07:16.tensions we don't understand. I think the point is they have to be
:07:17. > :07:21.seen to be trying. Even if they get it wrong. That is true, but there is
:07:22. > :07:30.another thing at play, the law of the situation. Very seductive, the
:07:31. > :07:34.idea that you are the president and suddenly people are coming to you
:07:35. > :07:40.with secret briefings. The room turns to you. Every diplomat is
:07:41. > :07:43.hanging on your every word, and Trump, a person observes the
:07:44. > :07:47.television, finds he can respond Arnie has all of this military might
:07:48. > :07:51.at his disposal. Yes, sure. We have to move on,
:07:52. > :07:55.because sadly we have a lot to get through. The Financial Times.
:07:56. > :08:03.Barclays whistle-blower, good story, this. This is pretty terrifying,
:08:04. > :08:07.Barclays chief executive twice pushed in his organisation for the
:08:08. > :08:10.exposure of a whistle-blower who had criticised an appointment he himself
:08:11. > :08:13.had made. The whole point of whistle-blowing in the city if you
:08:14. > :08:16.are meant to be able to report your doubts about ethical behaviour in
:08:17. > :08:20.your company without having retaliation against you. This man,
:08:21. > :08:25.who came into Barclays saying I'm going to rebuild its reputation
:08:26. > :08:31.after the libel rigging scandal, as soon as somebody said secretly and
:08:32. > :08:34.privately I think there is something wrong with your decisions and they
:08:35. > :08:39.are a little suspect, tried to overturn all the bank's procedures
:08:40. > :08:42.on uncovering and identifying this person. Now the fact he did this has
:08:43. > :08:46.been exposed and he will have to surrender perhaps ?1 million of his
:08:47. > :08:49.bonus. But I think that's actually not enough. I don't think you can
:08:50. > :08:55.have somebody leading a company who just wants to get rid of anyone who
:08:56. > :08:58.is critical. Two of the regulators are looking into this so it could be
:08:59. > :09:00.a lot worse than simply losing 1.3 million, although for most people
:09:01. > :09:06.that would be pretty horrific anyway. A whole different world in
:09:07. > :09:10.the city. The FCA and the regulators, we shouldn't forget that
:09:11. > :09:14.one of the key problems in the run-up to the financial crisis was
:09:15. > :09:18.that there wasn't really enough space for whistle-blowers to blow
:09:19. > :09:22.the whistle. In those organisations people kept Shrum or were fired.
:09:23. > :09:27.Ever since the crisis, the regulators have been determined to
:09:28. > :09:30.try and change that. But if you are employed by Barclays now you
:09:31. > :09:33.wouldn't want to bring that whistle-blowing helpline. Or you
:09:34. > :09:39.might have more confidence. You would know you are taking a risk. He
:09:40. > :09:45.has been found out. Staying with the FT, United, cracking story, this.
:09:46. > :09:49.Talking about CEOs in trouble, Jes Staley has nothing on the CEO of
:09:50. > :09:56.United Airlines. You have this passenger dragged off a flight. What
:09:57. > :10:00.seems to have happened if they overbooked flights, which happens
:10:01. > :10:06.quite a bit. Asked passengers to leave, didn't get volunteers. Lead
:10:07. > :10:10.four of the moth and this chap, a doctor, refused to go and was
:10:11. > :10:17.dragged kicking and screaming. Bashed about. Apparently literally
:10:18. > :10:23.screaming according to this. Videoed. The CEO has some serious
:10:24. > :10:27.questions to answer, not least of which, not just the incident
:10:28. > :10:32.itself... He was paying passenger and they dragged the plane.
:10:33. > :10:36.Apparently it was because they needed four airline staff to be
:10:37. > :10:40.flown instead. Book your airline staff a seat on the plane if it is
:10:41. > :10:46.so important. For decades to come the response from the United
:10:47. > :10:52.airlines department will be used as a textbook case of how not to
:10:53. > :10:56.respond. All they said was, we are reaching out to this passenger to
:10:57. > :11:01.talk directly to him. I think they reached out a bit too much! With a
:11:02. > :11:06.very big cheque-book, I suspect. Briefly, the front page of The
:11:07. > :11:13.Times. The funeral today of the policeman who was killed in that
:11:14. > :11:16.attack on Westminster, PC Keith Palmer. Thousands of police officers
:11:17. > :11:22.from around the country journeyed down to London for the procession of
:11:23. > :11:28.the funeral cortege. HIV drug on the front of The Times. Scotland gets
:11:29. > :11:33.cancer drug that is too expensive for England. Can I just say, this is
:11:34. > :11:36.the kind of story that makes people draws divisions between England and
:11:37. > :11:40.Scotland. The fact Scotland is getting cancer drug England is that
:11:41. > :11:46.can't afford, yet English taxpayers subsidise Scotland, so annual public
:11:47. > :11:49.spending in Scotland is ten and a half thousand, its 8500 innings.
:11:50. > :11:53.That's because the English give the Scots a grant to make up for their
:11:54. > :11:56.deprivation. A foolish decision, because it will make people worry
:11:57. > :12:02.about if Scotland are getting special treatment very angry. Very
:12:03. > :12:06.briefly, the page of the Daily Mail. The editor of Vogue, I know you are
:12:07. > :12:12.a fan of fashion and you are into this kind of thing. Exactly! I have
:12:13. > :12:19.to say, this guy who's become editor of Vogue, I've never heard of a
:12:20. > :12:29.publication which he has editor hated edited, called W. And he used
:12:30. > :12:38.to live in America! Isn't it great? For someone who didn't know it was
:12:39. > :12:42.in a magazine dedicated to George W Bush, it's dedicated to fashion.
:12:43. > :12:45.British row getting its first mail editor. Thank you both. That went so
:12:46. > :12:49.quickly! Thank you for watching. Don't forget, you can see the front
:12:50. > :12:52.pages of the papers online It's all there for you -
:12:53. > :12:56.7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers - and if you miss the programme any
:12:57. > :13:00.evening you can watch it
