from witness statements and forensic evidence is that there was only

attacker. We can take a quick look at the front pages of the morning

:00:08.:00:09.

newspapers now. With me are David Wooding,

:00:10.:00:12.

political editor of the Sun on Sunday, and Henry Mance,

:00:13.:00:15.

political correspondent The Daily Telegraph has managed to

:00:16.:00:27.

get the terror attack on its front page and the picture of that very

:00:28.:00:30.

well-known street with a police van parked across it. The timing of this

:00:31.:00:38.

is significant but also in some ways to be expected. Yes, then sometimes

:00:39.:00:46.

have an effect on elections and it remains to be seen what effect this

:00:47.:00:50.

will have. We have an early election coming up on the UK, so this will

:00:51.:00:56.

perhaps bring home the fact that we are living in a very dangerous era

:00:57.:01:01.

of terrorism, and I guess there will be a lot of security over here as

:01:02.:01:06.

well as in Paris. It seems that when eyewitnesses saw this car draw up

:01:07.:01:13.

and shots were fired, police were clearly the target here. For

:01:14.:01:19.

newspapers, the question is, how much attention to you give a story

:01:20.:01:28.

like this? Is it right to let that dominate the news agenda? That is

:01:29.:01:37.

the judgment to take. If it were an isolated incident, that judgment

:01:38.:01:39.

would potentially be very different, but France has had such a long

:01:40.:01:44.

period under the state of emergency that has been extended five times.

:01:45.:01:50.

It also brings home the fact that a Kalashnikov was used in this attack.

:01:51.:01:55.

This brings home the business of free movement across Europe and the

:01:56.:01:57.

suggestion that somebody had come over from Belgium, which is seen as

:01:58.:02:03.

a centre of terrorist activity in some respects, and in Britain we

:02:04.:02:11.

have not had that situation with guns yet because of the fact we have

:02:12.:02:18.

that stretch of water between ourselves and mainland Europe. Here,

:02:19.:02:29.

Theresa May commits to cutting migration to the tens of thousands.

:02:30.:02:33.

There is a suggestion she might ditch this has been too difficult

:02:34.:02:37.

but she still committed. There is a lot of the Cameron baggage that she

:02:38.:02:45.

has the opportunity to rectify. It is a new election manifesto and you

:02:46.:02:48.

do not get tied under the promises of the past, but David Cameron could

:02:49.:02:53.

never do this as Prime Minister and Theresa May never as Home Secretary.

:02:54.:02:57.

Net immigration is running much higher than government targets so we

:02:58.:03:01.

do not see a time frame for meeting those targets. We do not know

:03:02.:03:11.

exactly when. If Theresa May says something, she tries to see this

:03:12.:03:17.

through. She will be hostage to fortune. Brexit will make it easier

:03:18.:03:23.

for her to reach that target. One of the reasons we can't depend on the

:03:24.:03:28.

deal she will make, but people will regard this with scepticism because

:03:29.:03:31.

they promised seven years ago to reduce it to tens of thousands and

:03:32.:03:35.

failed miserably. She also said there would not be an election

:03:36.:03:39.

before 2020, and here we are. Sometimes you get get punished for

:03:40.:03:46.

breaking promises. Shall we have a quick look at another EU story? The

:03:47.:03:54.

Times, Britain told to keep EU laws, no deal unless Mae accepts rules on

:03:55.:04:00.

EU workers and security. We are starting to see demands from the 27

:04:01.:04:08.

member states. This is the boss of the European Parliament. We are

:04:09.:04:12.

leaving the European Union but they cannot stop meddling, can the? Now

:04:13.:04:17.

they are saying that, even after we have left the European Union,

:04:18.:04:24.

citizens, they will still have EU rights and will be able to uphold

:04:25.:04:28.

them with the European Court of Justice. Is it meddling to look

:04:29.:04:33.

after your citizens? If the citizens want to stay in Britain after we

:04:34.:04:39.

have left you, then one would expect them to be British citizens. If they

:04:40.:04:45.

remain here and abide by British rules. They do not have to be

:04:46.:04:49.

British citizens just to stay here. They will live on British soil but

:04:50.:04:55.

not member of the European Union, and to have the European Court of

:04:56.:04:58.

Justice having jurisdiction would cross that red line which Theresa

:04:59.:05:05.

May has said. But we have not come out of any of it yet. This was meant

:05:06.:05:14.

to be the easy bit. It will guarantee EU nationals' rights. What

:05:15.:05:22.

we are seeing here, it will be pretty tricky. There are hardline

:05:23.:05:27.

demand is there, tough negotiations, and the European court of justice...

:05:28.:05:32.

It would be a two tier citizenship. We have not even got round to this

:05:33.:05:39.

idea of associate membership. The president of the Parliament is

:05:40.:05:41.

saying you can change your mind is entirely the 1-2. There are other

:05:42.:05:49.

stories as well which we will try to take a look at at 11:30pm. We have a

:05:50.:05:56.

full hour of news with all the latest from Paris and a second paper

:05:57.:06:02.

review with our guests at 11:30pm. But let's pause for a second and

:06:03.:06:04.

take a look at the weather forecast.
