Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
With me are John Crowley, who's Editor-in-Chief | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
at the International Business Times and Tim Stanley, the leader | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
writer and columnist for the Daily Telegraph. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
The Telegraph has an exclusive interview with Prince Harry, | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
talking about how he sought counselling in his mid-twenties | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
to help cope with the death of his mother, Princess Diana. | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
The Guardian says there are calls for a recount following the vote in | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
Turkey giving President Erdogan the powerful major constitutional | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
reform. The Times lead with what they call | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
North Korean defiance in the face The i also lead with | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
the tension in North Korea - saying that China and America | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
are working together The Mira continues with North Korea, | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
President Trump's message that he is poised to strike if necessary. The | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Daily Mail leads with a deterioration in UK and Russian | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
relations, saying they are an all-time low. | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
The FT lead on US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross rubbishing | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
International Monetary Fund claims of US protectionism. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
A distinctly international feel to the stories we are covering in this | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
first review. But the first story is very much home-grown. The Daily | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Telegraph, an exclusive with Prince Harry. It was 20 years of not | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
thinking about it, and then two years of total chaos coming he says, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
about how he coped with his mother's death when he was so young. This is | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
an extraordinary exclusive to have got? It is historic, really. Our | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
columnist, Brian Gordon, has spoken in an unfiltered way with the press | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
about the experience of his mother's death, coping with the grief. You | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
can listen to it on the website, it is a podcast. He is so astonishingly | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
frank. He talks about bottling up, how it wasn't until he was 28 that | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
he came to terms with what had happened. And he talks about the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
anger. The language is extraordinary. He says, I had | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
probably been close to a complete breakdown on numerous occasions, | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
with all sorts of grief, lies, misconceptions and everything coming | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
from every angle. He talks about almost wanted to punch people. It is | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
historic, partly because this is a story we are all familiar with and | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
gives us a perspective on the story that we have never had before. Also, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
I cannot think of a member of the Royal family talking in this | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
unfiltered way before to the press. We might have expected an interview | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
that was then edited, which the palace would have to go through with | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
a fine tooth comb to green light. For him to talk in this way, without | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
any kind of filter, it feels like an historic change in the way the Royal | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
family speaks to the nation. Absolutely, it wasn't so many years | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
ago that the Royal family were seen as really quite distant. They kept | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
their distance, quite deliberately. A lot of that changed when Princess | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Diana died? It was. I'm trying to think of another interview that a | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
member of the Royal family has done in this raw and expansive way. I | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
can't but help think of his parents, when Diana spoke to Martin Bashir | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
and his father, the Prince of Wales, spoke to Jonathan Dimbleby, speaking | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
about the affair. But the language is so raw. Saying he wanted to punch | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
someone, this is not princely language, but it is breaking down | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
barriers about mental health. She has written really expansively about | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
her own personal mental health issues. This is bringing mental | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
health to the centre of the National conversation, I think. So many | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
people will applaud him for doing it? Absolutely, he wants to draw | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
attention to the charity he is running with Prince William, Heads | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Together. It reads like somebody talking about a physical wound, but | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
they are talking about a mental wound. That is the change that is | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
happening in society, getting us to the point where this kind of | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
conversation can be had. It was the case for a very long time that | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
mental health problems were something that was buried. It was | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
felt you had to deal with it, get on with it. What he is saying with this | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
honest and frank interview, in a way, it is the same as a physical | :04:32. | :04:44. | |
problem. By talking about it, you address it, you deal with it and can | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
move towards healing. It is a change not just in the Royal family, but | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
this extraordinary interview reflects a change in the way society | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
sees mental health. For many people, the change is not complete. There is | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
a discussion to be had about funding of mental health services and also | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
the stigma many people still feel, even when you have very visible | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
public figures speaking about their own experiences? As you said, the | :05:00. | :05:11. | |
subject is taboo. Everywhere, all places, there are people that have | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
been affected by it. Years ago it would be swept under the carpet. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
This contribution he has made will bring that to the fore even more. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Even more so because it is a man speaking about it? Absolutely, and a | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
soldier as well. One wonders, I have not heard the podcast, I wonder if | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
the experience of serving with men and seeing what happened to veterans | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
is something he has spoken out about before, I wonder if that is one | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
reason why he has chosen to do this. He briefly touches on it, speaking | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
to fellow soldiers about their experiences made him rethink his own | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
experience as well. He said it was two decades that he lost. It kind of | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
puts into context all other things, being known as the playboy prince, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
two hijinks. Was this his way of trying to get away and not think | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
about that? He lost his mother. Anybody losing a parent at such a | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
young age, it is such a traumatic thing. To live it in the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
spotlight... And have to carry on? Carry on and keep that public face. | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
It is such a brave thing for him to do. Massive moment and huge | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
exclusive for the Daily Telegraph. It really is. Several very big | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
stories that we have been concentrating on a lot today. The | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
first one of which is on The Times. North Korea defiant as the US ramps | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
up pressure, Trump wooing China to counter nuclear threats. We are told | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
from the US point of view that they have some common ground with China? | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
No actual idea yet from anybody how they are going to respond. But the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
fact they seem to be on the same page is progress? It is a sign of | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
the topsy-turvy world we live in where China and Russia are urging | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
calm. One of the most interesting things that I saw today, when you | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
look for information about Donald Trump, it is in his tweets. He did | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
several U-turns. One of them was accusing China of being a currency | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
manipulator. He said, let's move on from the currency manipulation | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
malarkey, we need to work together on North Korea. Of course, China has | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
a huge role to play. It is supporting North Korea in terms of | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
providing food, energy and resources. If the US decided to act | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
unilaterally, China would absolutely have something to say about it. It | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
is crucial for Trump that China is getting involved. We are led to | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
believe if this had not been a failed missile test but a nuclear | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
test, that would have been beyond the pale for China, even though the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
consequences could be enormous if a destabilised North Korea were to | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
spill over its borders? North Korea, after all these years, it still | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
can't get it up. It probably is a nuclear state by now. Crucially, it | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
doesn't have the ability to deliver nuclear weapons yet. I'm going to be | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
controversial and say that this latest crisis actually does have a | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
silver lining. It is the sign of closer cooperation between | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Washington and Beijing. Some American officials have claimed | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
there was an agreement to share intelligence that came out of the | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
meeting between the Chinese President and Donald Trump. A | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
general agreement to cut back on imports and trade, isolate North | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Korea. If you look at the language the Chinese have used in the past | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
few days, they said there should not be a conflict, they advised against | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
it, but they have not invoked their 1961 alliance with North Korea. They | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
have not said we will come to North Korea's defence. Crucially, it could | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
be interpreted that if North Korea develops nuclear weapons and takes | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
an aggressive position, it could be in breach of the nuclear | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Non-Proliferation Treaty. Under the terms of the 1961 treaty that binds | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
China and North Korea together, China would no longer be obliged to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
protect it. It is possible North Korea, by coming a lot closer, a | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
step closer to being able to deliver a nuclear payload, it might be | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
cutting itself off from China. There could be a new concordat, between | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
China and America about North Korea. I do think the nuclear cloud has a | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
silver lining. Have you been practising that all day? That is | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
very good. It is actually a quote from Doctor Who, fans will hear that | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
and know what it is from! How do you follow that? Kim Jong-un, some | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
commentators say, once recognition as a nuclear state, as a nuclear | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
power. He is not likely to get that. He needs to be given a way out from | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
this? Yes, you press somebody up against a wall, you have to give | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
him... Or if he feels that he needs a get out. The vagaries of Donald | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
Trump and his policy moves, it is difficult to see how he would want | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
to give North Korea that. I don't think he is somebody a get out, he | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
is an alpha male, he wants to dominate and put people in their | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
place. To save face, the real politic is having to do, he has done | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
this about-face, accusing China of currency minute elation. Maybe he | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
has to realise that were diplomacy matters you need to give countries a | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
chance to save face. Let's look at the Financial Times and what is | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
happening in Turkey. I've gone to the wrong paper, have I? No, it is | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
the picture. Narrow boat, he claims victory in the Turkish ballot over | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
new powers. He was expecting to win by a much bigger margin? It was | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
predicted it would be 55%, it was closer to 51%. The opposition has | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
already said it is demanding a recount of some of the votes, | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
because some of the ballots that were issued were not officially | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
stamped. There are already grounds to contest this. What is it he | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
wants? You want is to replace Turkey's parliamentary democracy | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
with an executive presidency, that could give him the power to dissolve | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
Parliament, appoint judges, he could move the country more towards | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Islamification than it has been in the past. This has been a real | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
turning point, not only in Turkey's history, but also relations between | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Turkey and the rest of the world. Turkey is part of the Western | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
alliance, the Weston family. It is a bridge between Europe and Asia. For | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
it to take a step towards religious conservatism, eight more autocratic | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
style of government, that puts it at odds with its western partners. It | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
is a member of the Council of Europe, the Secretary General has | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
already said if you need help in navigating this, a reminder that | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
part of your responsible it is our upholding the rule of law, we are | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
here to guide you through it? The EU was in a difficult spot, it is | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
paying money to tick each year to solve that problem. It will be | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
interesting to see how the EU reacts officially. It is quite interesting, | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
a referendum about the country on the edge of Europe split down the | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
middle, it rings a bell with me somewhere. It is a rubber-stamp for | :12:34. | :12:47. | |
him being a single party strongman now and he can rule until 2029. It | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
is a turning point. It could be. Turkey has long wanted to join the | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
EU. But something he has said this evening that he wants to do is to | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
eventually introduce the death penalty. Europe has been clear and | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
said if Turkey does that, it does not get into the EU. It looks like | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
Turkey is choosing to face eastwards. He has got the result | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
that some commentators are saying in the worst possible way. It is too | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
small a margin to say he has a clear mandate to introduce the powers? | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Asked him was saying, he was expected to get 55% and did not. It | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
was like the 52-48 that we had, it is not a ringing endorsement. It | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
creates more uncertainty. He was looking for a rubber-stamp. He | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
didn't get it. Now you have the opposition saying 60% of the vote is | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
being contested. It creates more uncertainty. That region is and | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
uncertain region. They are a buffer state between Syria and Europe. He | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
has used the cover of the coup last year to call this. I think he has | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
put something like 50,000 people, jailed or removed from their jobs in | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
the judiciary, journalists... He says that is to bring about | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
stability and security? He has to deal with Syria, the Kurdish | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
problem, Islamists from his own country. This is going to solidify | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
divisions and show us the size of dissent. Three of the biggest cities | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
in Turkey voted against it. The i, is it time to strip President | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
Assad's wife of UK citizenship? She was born in London and holds a | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
British passport. There is a move in Parliament to do exactly that. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Conservative MPs and Liberal Democrat MPs are calling for her to | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
have her citizenship revoked. The right to do that, I think it is | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
under the British Nationality Act, it lies with the Home Secretary. | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
Does being the wife of a dictator give you the license to say you are | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
not entitled to British citizenship any more? One important point, she | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
has been disseminating pro-Syrian, pro-Assad messages on social media | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
accounts. We are not at war with Syria. I'm uncomfortable about | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
stripping citizenship. It is usually invoked to protect the country | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
against someone you don't want coming in. I think everyone has | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
human rights, civil rights, she remains a citizen until she shows | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
good cause for having it taken away. Don't forget all the front pages | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
of the papers. It's all there for you - seven days | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers - and you can see us there too - | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
with each night's edition of The Papers being posted | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
on the page shortly after we've Don't go yet, John and Tim will be | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
back at 11:30pm for another look at the front pages. | :16:04. | :16:04. | |
Oklahoma in the 1920s and the true story of a murder conspiracy that | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
absorbed and shocked America, and epitomised the darker | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
side of the Wild West and all its lingering lawlessness. | :16:17. | :16:23. |
