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