:00:19. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:23. > :00:25.With me are the broadcaster, Lynn Faulds Wood, and Laura Perrins,

:00:26. > :00:29.Co-Editor of The Conservative Woman.

:00:30. > :00:32.Great to see you both. Let's look at the front pages.

:00:33. > :00:34.The Metro leads with the death of an 11-year-old girl

:00:35. > :00:37.after falling from a ride at Drayton Manor Theme Park

:00:38. > :00:42.'Millions to miss out out on full state pension'

:00:43. > :00:50.The FT reports Theresa May's manifesto chief held talks

:00:51. > :00:53.with Ed Miliband's former policy guru, in a bid to appeal

:00:54. > :01:01.The Daily Telegraph claims a number of Labour MPs

:01:02. > :01:07.are considering forming a breakaway group after the election.

:01:08. > :01:11.The Express leads on the medical research which suggests that taking

:01:12. > :01:14.the anti inflammatory drug, ibuprofen, once a week raises

:01:15. > :01:31.The Daily mail comments on trees and Philip May's weren't on The One

:01:32. > :01:38.Show. The daily Mirror has more on the death of an 11-year-old girl at

:01:39. > :01:42.that Drayton Manor theme park. Before we get into the papers, I

:01:43. > :01:51.have an update on that incident in Staffordshire. This is a statement

:01:52. > :01:59.from a website, it was a school trip to Drayton Manor in which the

:02:00. > :02:03.11-year-old girl died. "We Are liaising with the relevant

:02:04. > :02:07.authorities at this time. Please be ensured that the safety and

:02:08. > :02:12.well-being of all our pupils is a priority. We would also request that

:02:13. > :02:16.the family, as well as the school community, be given the time to

:02:17. > :02:20.grieve. The school is also providing support to pupils and staff. We are

:02:21. > :02:27.unable to provide any further information at this time." That is

:02:28. > :02:33.from the school to which that 11-year-old girl was a pupil. That

:02:34. > :02:38.is following the incident today in Staffordshire.

:02:39. > :02:45.Let's get on with the papers. We start with the Telegraph, Laura.

:02:46. > :02:51.Labour faces historic party split, don't spit your sides laughing. I am

:02:52. > :02:54.not quite doing that. This is a story exposing yet again the

:02:55. > :02:59.bloodbath occurring in the Labour Party at the moment. Jeremy Corbyn

:03:00. > :03:04.seen as so divisive that even his own party don't want him. Should a

:03:05. > :03:08.landslide happened, and I think that perhaps Labour MPs would like a

:03:09. > :03:12.landslide happened, then they can maybe push to get Corbin out. But if

:03:13. > :03:16.it doesn't happen, the story says that already moderate Labour

:03:17. > :03:21.candidates are in talks with potential donors to set up or at

:03:22. > :03:28.least sit independently under a progressive banner. As we have known

:03:29. > :03:30.for some time, because they already tried to get him out with a

:03:31. > :03:36.no-confidence vote, things are not all rosy in the Labour garden. You

:03:37. > :03:43.did mention the word allegedly there! Christopher Hope put this

:03:44. > :03:48.together, and a long night of the paper is here, where is your

:03:49. > :03:58.sourcing, Christopher. I can't see any quotes. I was an investigative

:03:59. > :04:01.journalist for many years, if I put out something without a tribute in

:04:02. > :04:09.yet, it would never have hit the air. Here, this is a really damning

:04:10. > :04:14.piece saying 101 people are setting up a new Progressive party. He uses

:04:15. > :04:19.words like rabbiting and desperate, I am sorry, Christopher, this is a

:04:20. > :04:27.bit desperate. I think we know the Labour Party are in a bad way. There

:04:28. > :04:31.is an election, of course he is hammering the nails, it is his job

:04:32. > :04:34.to do, to tell the people that this is the opposition in complete

:04:35. > :04:38.disarray and didn't even want to sit under a Corbin leadership if he

:04:39. > :04:47.continues on. -- a Jeremy Corbyn leadership. I would still love

:04:48. > :04:53.fairness in the world. OK, let's go to the Financial Times. Main

:04:54. > :05:06.manifesto chief held talks with former Miller band aid. --

:05:07. > :05:12.you might be surprised if they didn't talk to each other. The Tory

:05:13. > :05:20.manifesto chief talking to a former Ed Miliband aid? ? Ed Miliband

:05:21. > :05:29.didn't do very well. This is a man cold Lord Glassman. I am not awfully

:05:30. > :05:36.keen on titles, apparently they are mirroring pledges. And yes, the one

:05:37. > :05:41.being mirrored all over the press today is about energy prices and the

:05:42. > :05:44.Tories are going to cap them. When Ed Miliband was in charge, he was

:05:45. > :05:50.talking about a price freeze. Then he turned it into a cap. But this is

:05:51. > :05:55.a specific attempt to park Tory tanks on the Labour lawn. You could

:05:56. > :05:58.put it like that, or you could say, these are quite sensible things they

:05:59. > :06:05.are both talking about. I have been talking about energy prices for

:06:06. > :06:15.about 14 years on television. Laura, is this a sign of a more moderate

:06:16. > :06:21.Labour Party of the party? Are they trying to reach out beyond Jeremy

:06:22. > :06:37.Corbyn? It obviously is Theresa May trying to park tanks on Labour lawn

:06:38. > :06:44.is. It is red hey. It remain so. It is a silly policy. Broadly, I think

:06:45. > :06:48.Theresa May is moving in the right direction. But an interesting quote

:06:49. > :06:52.is when she says, "What matters is doing what you believe to be right,

:06:53. > :06:56.as opposed to being ideological." But she is the Prime Minister, or

:06:57. > :07:01.she lives to be the prime do, but that doesn't make her an oracle.

:07:02. > :07:05.Believing you are doing something right isn't that important. What is

:07:06. > :07:09.important is what works. I'm afraid... best ideas from wherever

:07:10. > :07:16.they are. Both are conservative ideas. Not this one! And she

:07:17. > :07:22.criticised this policy if you years ago. It is a major inconsistency, it

:07:23. > :07:26.is a silly policy, it is going to hit pension funds, it it could hit

:07:27. > :07:31.investments, and could hit jobs. Yes, there are ways to help low

:07:32. > :07:34.income families and hard-working families, but I remain unconvinced

:07:35. > :07:38.that this is the way to do it. The best way for the energy companies is

:07:39. > :07:45.to say, "Make the bills so that we can understand them." Switching is a

:07:46. > :07:48.way to increase competition, not this. OK, OK, OK... I am going to

:07:49. > :07:55.interrupt because we have some breaking news.

:07:56. > :08:06.The director of the FBI, James Coney, has been fined. There is a

:08:07. > :08:10.search for a new permanent FBI director -- fired. It will begin

:08:11. > :08:13.immediately. I am seen what information I can pick up here. He

:08:14. > :08:19.has been very controversial, not least because of the details that he

:08:20. > :08:24.released concerning Hillary Clinton's e-mails, literally weeks

:08:25. > :08:29.before the presidential election last year. And she has cited that

:08:30. > :08:36.publicly in the last 3-4 days that that was a contributory factor to

:08:37. > :08:40.her losing the election. Let me just read you this statement from the

:08:41. > :08:46.White House from the press secretary Sean Spicer today," Donald Trump

:08:47. > :08:49.informed James Coney that he has been terminated and removed from

:08:50. > :08:55.office. President Reagan on the clear recommendations of both the

:08:56. > :09:04.Deputy Attorney-General and the Attorney-General -- President Trump

:09:05. > :09:10.acted on the clear recommendations. Very interesting to see who gets

:09:11. > :09:16.picked to lead it instead. Wasn't a woman in court this week criticising

:09:17. > :09:20.Trump? He appeared before the committee last week. He appeared

:09:21. > :09:27.before a house committee looking into allegations into President

:09:28. > :09:33.Trump's during his campaign links to the Russians. But this is supposed

:09:34. > :09:37.to be a nonpartisan job. He still had years to go on his term. The

:09:38. > :09:45.suggestion that he has been fired, we don't know particularly or

:09:46. > :09:48.exactly the reasons for him being fired, but this is quite an

:09:49. > :09:54.interesting development in the last few minutes. A big story in the

:09:55. > :10:06.states. Absolutely huge. Let's get back to matters here. Millions miss

:10:07. > :10:11.out on. It pension. This is a story the i have run. It affects about

:10:12. > :10:14.90,000 people, but what happened for these individuals, they were

:10:15. > :10:19.contracting out without having been told, it seems. That is the

:10:20. > :10:22.government's full. They were contracting out in their working

:10:23. > :10:31.life, so they played produced national insurance. It was probably

:10:32. > :10:34.their employers! Exactly. In the end, they were playing less National

:10:35. > :10:44.Insurance at the time, meaning they don't have sufficient national

:10:45. > :10:48.insurance. So it puts the government in a difficult position in terms of

:10:49. > :10:51.whether they should pay out to the 90,000 even though they don't have

:10:52. > :10:58.their full national insurance contributions over and above others

:10:59. > :11:02.who have. It seems that it isn't the employees's full. We would need to

:11:03. > :11:06.know more as to why they were contracted out, why they didn't

:11:07. > :11:11.know, and where any employer is at full. People raise children, like

:11:12. > :11:19.you at the moment, who said whether they don't get affected. There are

:11:20. > :11:24.lots of reasons why people might be missing out on this. It sounds like

:11:25. > :11:26.it could be terribly unfair. Official figures are staggering

:11:27. > :11:36.about how many people could be missing out. Let's move on to the

:11:37. > :11:41.Times, a judge attacks inhumanity of care homes that force apart frail

:11:42. > :11:44.pensioners. There was a lovely story in the News the other night about a

:11:45. > :11:51.couple who were terminal. She was dying of cancer, and the hospice put

:11:52. > :11:56.them in together. They both died, one shortly after the other. What

:11:57. > :12:01.this judge is saying is, where is the humanity in what is happening

:12:02. > :12:09.when we split people up? You have a funny bit that you have picked up.

:12:10. > :12:15.It is in the Daily Telegraph, Saint James Mumby was giving a lecture to

:12:16. > :12:24.social workers, saying they should be slowed to split up elderly

:12:25. > :12:29.couples -- Sir James Mumby. This idea, doing everything by the book,

:12:30. > :12:34.where you automatically have to remove an elderly person because

:12:35. > :12:38.their home is unsafe to perhaps a nursing home where they don't know

:12:39. > :12:41.anybody. They said, if they had been living in that home for 50 years,

:12:42. > :12:51.you should leave them there. You should leave your box ticking aside.

:12:52. > :13:03.He did say that he was against removing people to nursing homes,

:13:04. > :13:08.the artificial "You must be happy all the time" is something he was

:13:09. > :13:13.objecting to. You don't have to be happy all the time. Indeed, you are

:13:14. > :13:23.not forced to do it. We all know what he is saying. The front page of

:13:24. > :13:30.the Daily Mail as well, Phil and trees -- Theresa. There they are on

:13:31. > :13:36.The One Show. "It Was love at first sight" Mr Theresa tells all on TV.

:13:37. > :13:44.Was the whole point to humanise and take a bit of the iciness way that

:13:45. > :13:50.Theresa can exhibit. The suggestion is it has worked. It is all over the

:13:51. > :13:53.front pages of several newspapers, probably the right-wing press. I am

:13:54. > :14:00.not sure the mirror is going to turn up with it on their front page. I am

:14:01. > :14:04.glad he reminded me about the recycling. He puts the Binder, that

:14:05. > :14:12.is the important thing. I worry about this getting gigantic and

:14:13. > :14:16.lovely publicity for an election, Jeremy Corbyn is not turning up with

:14:17. > :14:20.his wife. He will be on the same programme. He will be there. I

:14:21. > :14:24.watched it and I thought it was very good. They seemed like a really

:14:25. > :14:28.decent couple. They have been married for 37 years, and that

:14:29. > :14:32.alone, to me, is something that is very admirable. They are obviously

:14:33. > :14:36.the very supportive of each other. Focus him supporting her, but they

:14:37. > :14:41.are a good couple to each other. They seem a decent couple, why

:14:42. > :14:45.shouldn't they give the interview? All the leaders will be interviewed

:14:46. > :14:50.on The One Show. That is the key. Jeremy Corbyn will be on there ASBO.

:14:51. > :14:59.And Theresa May is a good cook, according to Phil. Thank you for

:15:00. > :15:02.looking at those stories. -- on there as well. Don't forget, you can

:15:03. > :15:05.see the front pages of all the papers online and on the BBC News

:15:06. > :15:10.website, it is therefore you seven days a week will stop if you have

:15:11. > :15:15.missed the programme, any evening, you can see it all again online

:15:16. > :15:19.player. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.
