:00:13. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:17. > :00:20.With me are the political commentator Lance Price
:00:21. > :00:23.and Caroline Wheeler, political editor of
:00:24. > :00:36.The Metro leads with our top story tonight, the terror
:00:37. > :00:41.The paper features a picture of the suspect being wrestled
:00:42. > :00:46.The i shows the man being led away by officers just a few hundred
:00:47. > :00:55.The Telegraph front page is also dominated by that story.
:00:56. > :00:57.But the paper also reports that allies of Boris Johnson
:00:58. > :01:03.believe he could be moved from the Foreign Office
:01:04. > :01:16.The Foreign Secretary's sister has joined the Liberal Democrats.
:01:17. > :01:18.As European leaders meet to discuss their strategy
:01:19. > :01:20.for Brexit negotiations, the FT says they are preparing
:01:21. > :01:28.to recognise the potential for a united Ireland within the EU.
:01:29. > :01:33.Hundreds of headteachers warned the Prime Minister that education will
:01:34. > :01:40.collapse without what the paper describes as proper funding. Here,
:01:41. > :01:43.the head of the NSPCC has warned that social media companies should
:01:44. > :01:55.be fined if they fail to protect children online. And here, they look
:01:56. > :01:56.ahead to the release of Marine A tomorrow.
:01:57. > :02:16.Ladies first, the Guardian. The terror story. A little after 2pm,
:02:17. > :02:20.2:22pm, a man was arrested in his 20s, very close to Downing Street,
:02:21. > :02:26.it appeared that in his rucksack was a series of knives. Not very long
:02:27. > :02:32.ago we were hearing of a similar style of attack with a knife when
:02:33. > :02:41.another assailant broke into the Houses of Parliament compound with a
:02:42. > :02:44.knife and killed a police officer. It has echoes of what happened then,
:02:45. > :02:49.but on this occasion the interesting thing is that it appeared the
:02:50. > :02:53.security services were on to this individual, a number of the papers
:02:54. > :02:59.have splashed on this story, with the notion being that either a
:03:00. > :03:03.member of his family or somebody within his community had become
:03:04. > :03:06.suspicious about his behaviour. There is lots of different elements
:03:07. > :03:12.of detail that we have been given about how he was tracked down, the
:03:13. > :03:16.notion that he was followed onto a tube and when he got quite close to
:03:17. > :03:21.the Houses of Parliament, he was closer to Downing Street when he was
:03:22. > :03:26.swooped upon and arrested. That is when they made their swoop and they
:03:27. > :03:31.stopped it, so there were no consequences, no death, nothing. You
:03:32. > :03:37.have worked in Downing Street, would you have take a trip there, what has
:03:38. > :03:43.struck you about the story. Caroline is right to say that the most
:03:44. > :03:46.interesting thing is that he did not succeed, and the police and security
:03:47. > :03:51.services did what they were paid to do. We are always being told in
:03:52. > :03:56.briefings that the police foil an awful lot of attacks that we get to
:03:57. > :04:00.hear nothing about, but this was played out on the streets, with
:04:01. > :04:08.cameras and people filming on their phones, so we could see how
:04:09. > :04:11.successful a well briefed, with good intelligence, operation can be. If
:04:12. > :04:16.he was followed on the cube, the police would have deliberately tried
:04:17. > :04:20.not to have arrested him on the cube, where he could have done more
:04:21. > :04:24.damage, they waited until he was in the right position, where they could
:04:25. > :04:31.disarm him and make sure he could not do any damage. The daily Mirror
:04:32. > :04:40.has this shot of his face. It spread online. What struck me about this
:04:41. > :04:47.story, they waited until he was off the tube, he got above ground, but
:04:48. > :04:55.what a location for them to swoop. Exactly. It was so public and it was
:04:56. > :05:01.intelligence led. I was walking down Whitehall, it seems to keep
:05:02. > :05:03.happening where I am not far away. I was walking down Whitehall at pretty
:05:04. > :05:08.much the time that this was happening. The only signed I could
:05:09. > :05:12.see. There was a crowd of people around the entrance closest to the
:05:13. > :05:20.Downing Street entrance, the Houses of Parliament. It was indicative
:05:21. > :05:23.that something happened, but a very different atmosphere from that which
:05:24. > :05:27.we had with just five weeks before, where there was a very real sense of
:05:28. > :05:32.panic, a feeling that they did not know what was going on, a sense that
:05:33. > :05:37.there may have been one or more assailant at the time. It is clear
:05:38. > :05:42.with this that it was a well contained police operation, there
:05:43. > :05:45.was no sense of panic, people inside the building were aware there had
:05:46. > :05:51.been an incident, but there was not the level of concern or panic, there
:05:52. > :05:55.was more of a sense of the police having it under control, it has been
:05:56. > :05:59.dealt with, almost a suggestion that it was much less of an event than we
:06:00. > :06:04.had had with the attack five weeks ago. They knew he did not have
:06:05. > :06:07.accomplices, there was not the risk of the early attack that there was
:06:08. > :06:14.somebody else will stop the interesting thing was the headline
:06:15. > :06:19.on the Daily Mirror, the smirk. He appears to be looking right pleased
:06:20. > :06:24.with himself, even though he has just been arrested. One concern I
:06:25. > :06:27.have with him being on the front of the newspapers is I worry that the
:06:28. > :06:35.people who do these things come for whatever reason, ideological
:06:36. > :06:39.notoriety is one thing they are notoriety is one thing they are
:06:40. > :06:44.seeking, and we are doing them a favour by putting them all over the
:06:45. > :06:49.papers. You think it should stop at social media? Certainly not, I am
:06:50. > :06:56.not saying journalists should not cover the story, but it was an
:06:57. > :07:01.incident that will still put quickly, there are not issues
:07:02. > :07:05.resulting from it, apart from giving the services a pat on the back.
:07:06. > :07:08.There was the notion of whether or not you splash with the picture of
:07:09. > :07:15.the assailant or whether you went with the victims who had lost their
:07:16. > :07:18.lives five weeks ago. The Daily Telegraph has the same image, but
:07:19. > :07:24.the story we have picked out on the front page, we had to touch on Boris
:07:25. > :07:31.Johnson. He would be disappointed, I am sure he watches! Religiously, to
:07:32. > :07:39.see if he will get a mention. You got a mention. It is not anything to
:07:40. > :07:45.do with mugwumps. Did you know the word? Charlie And The Chocolate
:07:46. > :07:49.Factory? Something to do with American politics, but I could not
:07:50. > :07:55.have explained, but now I know. We are now clear about it. But this is
:07:56. > :08:00.something which he is more concerned about, his own political future, and
:08:01. > :08:05.whether or not, if Theresa May get a very substantial majority, she can
:08:06. > :08:10.dispense with him. She has already joked she could dispense with him.
:08:11. > :08:17.Why was he needed? He will be leading figure of the Brexit
:08:18. > :08:20.campaign, he led the campaign with a certain panache and all of the style
:08:21. > :08:24.we associate with him, the question was whether he could knuckle down
:08:25. > :08:27.and do a serious job in Government as Foreign Secretary. Some people
:08:28. > :08:31.think he has, some people don't think he is a credit to the
:08:32. > :08:39.Government. Theresa May is sober, she may not be impressed by some of
:08:40. > :08:42.the hijinks. At the weekend it was the Sunday newspapers in the wake of
:08:43. > :08:46.the election that began the speculation around reshuffles. It
:08:47. > :08:54.was the story that is still several weeks hence. And we were taking
:08:55. > :08:57.briefings, the suggestion was that the highest offices would not move,
:08:58. > :09:05.Amber Rudd, Iris Johnston, Philip Hammond. As time moved on, there was
:09:06. > :09:09.a question that began to emerge around Boris, the notion that he
:09:10. > :09:12.might be sidelined from the campaign, a suggestion that he would
:09:13. > :09:17.not go down well in some of the northern seat, he was too posh, and
:09:18. > :09:22.it jarred with the big's daughter image that she is trying to portray.
:09:23. > :09:27.There were stories in the media this morning suggesting that ministers
:09:28. > :09:31.are briefing against him. I don't think he has been briefed against in
:09:32. > :09:36.the way that some embers of the Cabinet are being briefed against.
:09:37. > :09:43.We don't have long, let's turn to the Financial Times. A bit of Brexit
:09:44. > :09:48.in Ireland. This is interesting, and curious, the suggestion being that
:09:49. > :09:56.EU diplomats might be raising the prospect of Northern Ireland voted
:09:57. > :10:02.in a referendum to rejoin, or join the south, to have a united Ireland,
:10:03. > :10:08.and state in the EU. And that somehow this possibility would be
:10:09. > :10:11.enshrined in the Brexit treaty, because the Irish Government would
:10:12. > :10:16.like it to be, just off the Spanish Government would like Gibraltar to
:10:17. > :10:21.be included. It is bizarre, I suspect it's diplomats in the EU
:10:22. > :10:29.wanting to make life difficult for Theresa May, talking about a united
:10:30. > :10:31.Ireland and Gibraltar. And this weekend, the other European leaders
:10:32. > :10:38.meet behind our backs to talk about us. How dare they! How dare they
:10:39. > :10:43.unite to oppose the British Government, shocking! The Times has
:10:44. > :10:50.another serious story, very quickly summarise this, Internet safety. How
:10:51. > :10:55.on earth do you begin to tackle it? As a parent it is a nightmare, the
:10:56. > :10:58.notion that your children are on their iPad, you cannot police what
:10:59. > :11:02.they are looking at, although there are that you can adapt so they
:11:03. > :11:08.cannot look at certain things. It is probably the biggest risk in terms
:11:09. > :11:13.of safeguarding for parents. We have the suggestion from the NSPCC that
:11:14. > :11:15.social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter should be fined
:11:16. > :11:23.if they fail to protect children online. How do you do that? It is
:11:24. > :11:26.very difficult. You could put health warnings or age warnings, but that
:11:27. > :11:32.will not stop people. It might be an invitation. It is policing the
:11:33. > :11:37.Internet. The same with terrorism. I think people at home using the
:11:38. > :11:40.Internet will think, this is what politicians should be worrying
:11:41. > :11:49.about, rather than throwing insults around. Thank you for your time. A
:11:50. > :12:00.visit from us, goodbye. Mother Nature has been
:12:01. > :12:03.keeping us on our toes.
