:00:19. > :00:29.Welcomed our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
:00:30. > :00:37.With me are Joan Bakewell. Good evening. Let's have a look at the
:00:38. > :00:42.front pages. Theresa May accusing European politicians of making
:00:43. > :00:46.threats against Britain in the i, she claims they are doing it to
:00:47. > :00:50.affect the general election result. Same story in the FT. She said that
:00:51. > :00:57.some in Brussels to not want Brexit talks to succeed. And the headline
:00:58. > :01:01.in the Daily Telegraph, Mae unleashes fire at Europe. It also
:01:02. > :01:08.makes the front page of the Daily Express. -- Theresa May unleashes
:01:09. > :01:11.fire at Europe. The Metro's main story is the student Damon Smith,
:01:12. > :01:18.who's been found guilty of trying to set off a home-made bomb on a Tube
:01:19. > :01:22.train in London. Police are urging more schools in the capital to
:01:23. > :01:26.install metal scanners to protect children from rising violent crime
:01:27. > :01:31.in the Guardian. The Times says more than 5 million people could be stuck
:01:32. > :01:35.on waiting lists for NHS treatment within two years, according to
:01:36. > :01:38.documents seen by a health Journal. And the daily Mirror says the
:01:39. > :01:42.Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has admitted to having a drinking
:01:43. > :01:51.problem in an interview which has come after his split with Angelina
:01:52. > :01:57.Jolie. Let us begin. The Daily Telegraph headline, Theresa May
:01:58. > :02:03.unleashes fire. Would you start us off, she is using colourful and
:02:04. > :02:06.forceful language. It is extraordinary, on the steps of
:02:07. > :02:13.Downing Street she unleashes this vitriol, saying that the EU is
:02:14. > :02:18.trying to wreck the election. She has been called the new iron Lady,
:02:19. > :02:26.explaining that the EU needs to keep out of our elections. Very, very
:02:27. > :02:31.strong fire against the EU. Remembering our history a bit,
:02:32. > :02:39.everybody knew about Margaret Thatcher, do you think she is
:02:40. > :02:45.Margaret Thatcher Mark two. I hate to be sceptical, but there was a bit
:02:46. > :02:48.of Donald Trump, the best defence is fence. How do you take the
:02:49. > :02:53.coronation of Theresa May off the headlines? You say here is our enemy
:02:54. > :02:58.across the waters. How'd you get all of the Ukip voters on board? You
:02:59. > :03:06.create the enemy out of the EU. Is that too sceptical? No, well, what
:03:07. > :03:13.do you think? I'm more sceptical. She is fighting two battles. She is
:03:14. > :03:19.fighting the election. And also fighting Brexit. Two are obviously
:03:20. > :03:22.incredibly mashed, but she's going for the election first because that
:03:23. > :03:28.is what she's got to win in the short term. She's doing it by making
:03:29. > :03:31.a pitch for the Ukip voters, who now are not sure where to go and she
:03:32. > :03:35.doesn't want to lose them. She doesn't feel she has to worry about
:03:36. > :03:40.Jeremy Corbyn so she is attacking and browsing up that fierce British
:03:41. > :03:44.spirits, we won't take it, we will fight them on the beaches. There is
:03:45. > :03:48.a bit of that. And there is nothing like insulting people to rally your
:03:49. > :03:53.supporters, a wonderful picture of the election. And talk of other
:03:54. > :04:04.people getting involved in other people's elections. No Russia, not
:04:05. > :04:11.yet. The cartoon in the Daily Telegraph. He is very gifted. Prime
:04:12. > :04:14.Minister, the Brexit bill is 100 billion euros and the EU wants to
:04:15. > :04:22.know if you would like to add a tip. Very good. Let's go to the FT. This
:04:23. > :04:27.was the newspaper that yesterday had the story that the amount of money
:04:28. > :04:30.that is going to have to go to Europe would be 100 billion euros.
:04:31. > :04:37.That is before a lot of other arguments. They've got a lot of
:04:38. > :04:42.stuff about the famous dinner? It has been very interesting since it
:04:43. > :04:50.leaked from the Frankfurt newspaper about exactly what went on and who
:04:51. > :04:53.said what. It was absolutely like a dire situation. About hatred, and
:04:54. > :05:03.threats, and it was reported as terrible. The FT broke the story of
:05:04. > :05:08.the hundred billion amount of money. And it says it was triggered by
:05:09. > :05:12.reports yesterday that Germany, France, and Poland were pressing for
:05:13. > :05:21.Britain to pay this bill on leaving the EU. There has been a claw back
:05:22. > :05:25.since. The people involved, some of them at that dinner, have been
:05:26. > :05:29.saying tonight that it is not going to be that steep. That she is an
:05:30. > :05:34.honourable woman playing a good game. Words to that effect, anyway.
:05:35. > :05:42.And ameliorating the hostility and the intensity of the hostility. This
:05:43. > :05:50.is Martin Sa'u Meyer, chief of staff to Junker. Coming out with 100
:05:51. > :05:58.billion euros and David Davies says, well, that is their opening gambit,
:05:59. > :06:04.we will anchor it to the other side. -- but
:06:05. > :06:13.Selmire has come out and said that. He's trying to play down as a tough
:06:14. > :06:18.negotiator. Everybody is posturing and we can all relax. Considering
:06:19. > :06:23.there is an election, this is the issue she is making the headlines
:06:24. > :06:27.with, we haven't heard any Tory policy, we haven't heard their
:06:28. > :06:31.manifesto, we don't know what they stand for, but we all expected to
:06:32. > :06:34.vote because she is strong and offering strong government in the
:06:35. > :06:45.face of our enemy. We know who the enemy is. It is focused absolutely
:06:46. > :06:50.on her. I heard her speech. The word me was used a lot. You teach people
:06:51. > :06:56.to negotiate. Do you think they are doing a good job of it? Absolutely.
:06:57. > :07:00.It is all about anchoring your position in one extreme. And the
:07:01. > :07:04.other. And hopefully not insulting individuals along the way to such an
:07:05. > :07:10.extent that you have no room to manoeuvre and come to an agreement.
:07:11. > :07:15.To the extent that Trump said, of his opponent, he said, you know,
:07:16. > :07:19.lock her up. When the election was over he said I didn't mean it, it
:07:20. > :07:23.was a tactic for the election. Perhaps all of this is a tactic for
:07:24. > :07:29.the election. When we get round to it they will be nice as pie, give or
:07:30. > :07:33.take, and it could be a soft Brexit. Fake news, that expression hasn't
:07:34. > :07:38.been used, thank goodness. Let's talk about the money. Enormous sums
:07:39. > :07:42.of money are being thrown around. But we have to be careful, I think,
:07:43. > :07:47.because it sounds as if we will have to pay them a vast amount of money.
:07:48. > :07:53.But actually, we will in the end, if we believe the reports, be owed a
:07:54. > :07:59.lot of money, as well. It is money we would have been paying anyway.
:08:00. > :08:04.This is the exit bill. You know, the divorce bill is the wrong way of
:08:05. > :08:08.phrasing it, it is money that we would have been paying in any case.
:08:09. > :08:12.And we are continuing to pay it a year on year until we have Brexit,
:08:13. > :08:17.which isn't on the horizon for a couple of years. Couple of years,
:08:18. > :08:24.this is just the beginning of a lot of Brexit and exit. Thank you. We
:08:25. > :08:33.can move on to the Guardian. We have this story. It is about school
:08:34. > :08:37.scanners. I cannot find mine. It's on the bottom. What's interesting
:08:38. > :08:41.is, it sounds enormously sensible but the police are urging to take
:08:42. > :08:45.action to stop people stabbing each other to death. What could be more
:08:46. > :08:51.sensible than that? However, when you look into it, it presents
:08:52. > :08:54.certain problems because they are suggesting that schools have
:08:55. > :08:58.scanners and the children go through, the knives are discovered
:08:59. > :09:01.and everybody is pleased. But at the end of the story it says that most
:09:02. > :09:09.of the killings are done in the street, at the school gate. After
:09:10. > :09:15.school, in the evenings. That's right. It is a marvellous impulse,
:09:16. > :09:21.quite the right impulse, but it doesn't answer the problem which is
:09:22. > :09:25.the enormous increase, 24% in the last year of deaths in the capital.
:09:26. > :09:33.Young people are killing each other and something has to happen. It is a
:09:34. > :09:38.well meant gesture. This is a slight echo, probably not quite so bad, of
:09:39. > :09:42.what has been happening in America the years. Terrible things happen in
:09:43. > :09:47.the schoolrooms. The debate is not just about scanners, it is whether
:09:48. > :09:53.staff should be armed and so on. The issue in the US is guns. Here it is
:09:54. > :09:58.knives. It is unfortunate, the idea, but many schools in the US have
:09:59. > :10:02.airport tight security, as well, because you either go in that
:10:03. > :10:09.direction, or you have people armed. Neither one of good. Having these
:10:10. > :10:14.arches perhaps stigmatises a school. On the other hand, if I was a parent
:10:15. > :10:19.I would feel more confident by that. But the police say the real issue is
:10:20. > :10:24.we need to find where these nests of knives are and take care of it that
:10:25. > :10:27.way. And also, just because it doesn't happen in school doesn't
:10:28. > :10:32.mean it won't happen when kids are going home or going to school. The
:10:33. > :10:37.police say we need to find the stashes. Where they are being kept.
:10:38. > :10:43.They are not being kept at schools. Parents would feel relieved to know
:10:44. > :10:51.that their children will be safe for a few hours. Terrible statistics.
:10:52. > :10:54.Crime generally is on a downward trend, we keep being told, but this
:10:55. > :10:59.sort of crime, violent crime and crime affecting young people, as you
:11:00. > :11:04.say, seems to be ballooning. I don't know why it should be so. Boredom,
:11:05. > :11:08.dissatisfaction, horror movies, frightening thing is happening. The
:11:09. > :11:14.world is unstable in many ways. There is a great sense of unease
:11:15. > :11:17.about communities. Perhaps they have picked that up. I don't know.
:11:18. > :11:24.Perhaps it would take somebody wiser. A lot of different
:11:25. > :11:31.approaches. Not one thing. Talking about the world being an uncertain
:11:32. > :11:34.place, we go inside The Times about Facebook moderators. Mark
:11:35. > :11:39.Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook, this is all about. Would you explain
:11:40. > :11:45.what is being proposed. We are seeing horrible things on Facebook.
:11:46. > :11:50.You can put up videos of suicides, murders, and the feeling is that
:11:51. > :11:53.complaints are made constantly to Facebook and they are not
:11:54. > :12:02.responding. Facebook says they get 1 million such things and they cannot
:12:03. > :12:05.cope with it. They are hiring 3000 more individuals basically as a
:12:06. > :12:11.rapid response team to be able to look at what is being posted.
:12:12. > :12:15.They've already got 4500 already. Adding another 3000 is quite
:12:16. > :12:20.extraordinary. But it is what they need to do in order to make sure
:12:21. > :12:25.that paedophiles are taken off-line immediately, or terrorism, promoting
:12:26. > :12:30.terrorism. They have another issue where Facebook is being used for
:12:31. > :12:33.piracy. What people do is they will take live sports programmes, or
:12:34. > :12:40.other ones, and immediately live stream them and the content. That's
:12:41. > :12:45.also been mentioned. They have been pretty slow about this. It is a
:12:46. > :12:49.nightmare world we are looking at. Appalling things you can see.
:12:50. > :12:54.They've been slow. They should have been able to predict this, certainly
:12:55. > :12:57.with the huge industry of pornography that is worldwide and
:12:58. > :13:01.known to be, and has been for decades, and they have been slow to
:13:02. > :13:06.set up these monitoring systems. Thank goodness they are on the job
:13:07. > :13:10.now. When they took down images, the iconic one of the young Vietnamese
:13:11. > :13:15.girl from the napalm attack running, that was taken down because it was a
:13:16. > :13:19.nude little girl and considered a concern. They were then criticised
:13:20. > :13:25.for that. It is difficult. Always difficult. Very briefly, a small
:13:26. > :13:29.story on the front of the FT. About the Turner prize. They are doing
:13:30. > :13:35.something extraordinary. I am thrilled because it is, for the
:13:36. > :13:41.first time, they have short listed and made it eligible for people over
:13:42. > :13:47.the age of 50. Several of them are over 50. The work is very
:13:48. > :13:53.exhilarating and tremendous. My complaint is they cap it at 62. That
:13:54. > :13:59.is ageism. Why have they done that? Somebody at the age of 63 is capable
:14:00. > :14:06.of art? And they are turning away from The Unmade Bed, The Cow
:14:07. > :14:14.hopefully something better is coming. But it all looks jolly good.
:14:15. > :14:20.People between 50 and 62 are young, aren't they? Children. You can see
:14:21. > :14:26.the front pages of the papers online on the BBC website. It is there
:14:27. > :14:32.seven days a week. If you miss the programme you can watch it later on
:14:33. > :14:33.the BBC iPlayer. Thank you both. It has been delightful, as usual.
:14:34. > :14:49.Goodbye. This weather pattern keeping eastern
:14:50. > :14:55.coastal Park School, the West wall, and most dry is set to continue
:14:56. > :14:58.until next week. -- eastern coastal
