:00:00. > :00:00.Charlie and David Beckham a star and the newest King Arthur film. It has

:00:07. > :00:09.had largely negative reviews. Find out what we think of it in the film

:00:10. > :00:14.review. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:15. > :00:18.to what the papers will be With me are the parliamentary

:00:19. > :00:21.journalist, Tony Grew and Caroline Frost,

:00:22. > :00:22.Entertainment Editor Tomorrow's front pages,

:00:23. > :00:30.starting with - The Financial Times claims that

:00:31. > :00:33.Theresa May failed to consult some of her most senior colleagues

:00:34. > :00:36.on manifesto plans to overhaul The Times also goes with social

:00:37. > :00:40.care, saying that Theresa May's planned changes could

:00:41. > :00:42.be wrecked by poorly The Metro also leads

:00:43. > :00:47.with the general election, reporting that the Tories are now

:00:48. > :00:54.looking to attack Jeremy Corbyn after polls showed their lead over

:00:55. > :00:57.Labour being cut in half. The Telegraph reports that

:00:58. > :01:00.Jeremy Corbyn is at the centre of a growing row, after they say

:01:01. > :01:03.he repeatedly refused to condemn the actions of Republican

:01:04. > :01:05.terrorists in Ireland. The Daily Mail covers the same

:01:06. > :01:08.story, adding that Mr Corbyn's comments have enraged campaigners

:01:09. > :01:10.for the victims of terrorism. The Guardian says it has seen

:01:11. > :01:20.a large cash of internal documents from Facebook which show how

:01:21. > :01:25.the tech giant moderates its sites. And finally The Express has

:01:26. > :01:27.a bit of good news - Britain is set to enjoy a blast

:01:28. > :01:35.of summer with ten days of sunshine. Thank goodness for that. Let's begin

:01:36. > :01:40.with the social care story that keeps on giving, this one. The

:01:41. > :01:48.Tories stand firm after care wobble is the headline in the Independent.

:01:49. > :01:52.No change from pop your policies after the weekend poll show that

:01:53. > :01:56.Labour is closing the gap. But you wonder if it is a risk, will people

:01:57. > :02:02.vote Conservative no matter what? I think this is a calculated gamble

:02:03. > :02:06.within the inner sanctum of Theresa May and her closest counsel. There

:02:07. > :02:12.are innumerable safe Tory seats around the country because of the

:02:13. > :02:16.doubts about the Labour leadership. They have made this decision to go

:02:17. > :02:22.after non-traditional Tory voting places and this is obviously a

:02:23. > :02:31.policy that extends beyond their normal reach. A look now at the

:02:32. > :02:36.Financial Times, how they are reporting. Senior Tories kept in the

:02:37. > :02:45.dark over the dementia tax. This seems to have been re- occurring

:02:46. > :02:49.then, that many -- and not many people knew about this before it was

:02:50. > :02:56.released. Theresa May is obviously keeping a close eye on it and how it

:02:57. > :03:08.will be released. The FT says that this plan, the so-called dementia

:03:09. > :03:11.tax,... The concern here is not about the policy. I think that the

:03:12. > :03:15.reason may use being startlingly honest with the public which is not

:03:16. > :03:20.something we expect from politicians. She is getting rid of

:03:21. > :03:26.the promises of David Cameron to not raise taxes, that triple lock on the

:03:27. > :03:30.pension. And she is effectively saying to people who have large

:03:31. > :03:36.assets in the form of property that they will need to pay for their

:03:37. > :03:41.social care. I can imagine why for some people think that is shocking,

:03:42. > :03:45.but for those who are under 30, people who have a huge asset, the

:03:46. > :03:53.idea that young people should pay for the care of people with huge

:03:54. > :03:59.assets if unfair. The young people are less likely to vote, however.

:04:00. > :04:04.However this is a masterstroke from Theresa May. She is taking on those

:04:05. > :04:08.who are the largest voting block, those over 65. This is for her to

:04:09. > :04:13.create a new Britain. The poll numbers she is on now suggests that

:04:14. > :04:17.this is an opportunity for her to remake the country and it seems as

:04:18. > :04:20.if she will do that. You said previously that the policy has not

:04:21. > :04:25.been explained well people do not understand it. To say that you can

:04:26. > :04:34.keep 100,000 pounds of your own assets including the value of your

:04:35. > :04:39.home is a far value from the cap of ?76,000 which suggested nobody would

:04:40. > :04:45.pay more than that. This will affect different people across the country

:04:46. > :04:51.quite differently. Somebody with a house with average prices of under

:04:52. > :04:54.100,000 will be celebrating this policy because in theory they will

:04:55. > :05:02.never have to pay anything. People with assets in somewhere like Kent,

:05:03. > :05:07.in theory you will not have much inheritance to pass on. It is

:05:08. > :05:13.completely unearned wealth. Wider society think you should be able to

:05:14. > :05:23.pass on unearned wealth. People have often done it, haven't they? The

:05:24. > :05:26.different situation is our those people are now sucking care out of

:05:27. > :05:40.national health insurance? They pay their insurer ends. But life

:05:41. > :05:44.expectancy was smaller years ago. We have to accept now that people can

:05:45. > :05:53.be repaired tyre for 30 years. 30 years of constant care care, how

:05:54. > :05:56.much will it cost? Corbyn's eating teeth for IRA victims. Jeremy Corbyn

:05:57. > :06:06.refusing five times to unequivocally condemn the IRA. One Twitter user

:06:07. > :06:13.suggests that this is an old story that conveniently had dresses

:06:14. > :06:16.avoiding facts. This is the Conservative slinging mud. I think

:06:17. > :06:25.the Conservatives are perfectly right to point out that this man

:06:26. > :06:29.spent his time consorting with figures in Ireland at a time when

:06:30. > :06:34.they were bombing and murdering figures. He is the one now trying to

:06:35. > :06:39.recast this is his heroic contribution to the peace process. I

:06:40. > :06:44.reject that. He spent no time polling around with unionists and

:06:45. > :06:50.loyalist. He only took one side of the argument. He took the extreme

:06:51. > :06:54.side as well. I have no problem with people supporting a united Ireland

:06:55. > :06:56.but he had two ways to do it, constitutional politics or the

:06:57. > :07:01.politics of violence and he chose the politics of violence. He said he

:07:02. > :07:05.disagreed with the military of approach that was taken during the

:07:06. > :07:10.Troubles. He is condemned the bombing from all sides. I think he

:07:11. > :07:16.been extremely careful and, I would... I would disagree and say he

:07:17. > :07:20.has been consistent. He has stuck to his political ideas and in an age

:07:21. > :07:24.where politicians turn on a client because it is expedient, I found it

:07:25. > :07:27.refreshing to have somebody who voiced something that he knows will

:07:28. > :07:34.not play well with an enormous number of people and will play into

:07:35. > :07:39.a voting... That is because he has had the indulgence of irrelevance is

:07:40. > :07:42.entire political career. But then people as soon as they become

:07:43. > :07:48.popular, they don't have the right to change their mind. He is telling

:07:49. > :07:53.lies. He blamed Britain for seeking a military solution. It does not say

:07:54. > :08:00.here that he was telling lies. Let me explain why he was. In my

:08:01. > :08:05.opinion... The only people who thought were a military solution in

:08:06. > :08:12.Ireland where the IRA,... He says he has been consistent in his approach.

:08:13. > :08:18.He claims it was contributing to the peace process, which he was not. But

:08:19. > :08:22.if you engage with people, which is distasteful for many... This is not

:08:23. > :08:28.about engagement, this is about burnishing your left-wing

:08:29. > :08:36.credentials. This is about putting your position beside... I do

:08:37. > :08:39.struggle with the word lies. Facebook secret rules on hate speech

:08:40. > :08:44.sex violence and Terence in the Guardian. The Guardian has seen

:08:45. > :08:48.these and it has been picked up by the Telegraph. We can't see that

:08:49. > :08:52.there is a Facebook reply on this front page so I will do it for them

:08:53. > :08:56.in a moment. Caroline, this story will interest a lot of people. The

:08:57. > :09:02.rules that seem quite... This has implications not just media like

:09:03. > :09:06.ourselves but anybody who does get on Facebook, enjoys is it and uses

:09:07. > :09:10.it to engage with their friends. We know about the rules that our data

:09:11. > :09:15.is being shared that it is now going a little darker because Facebook is

:09:16. > :09:19.still refusing to acknowledge their increasing status as a publisher of

:09:20. > :09:23.almost unparalleled influence across the world. What the Guardian has

:09:24. > :09:27.done is uncovered some training manuals and ethical guidelines and

:09:28. > :09:33.all sorts of tree diagrams for their moderators which is a pathetically

:09:34. > :09:37.poor number of people. 4500 of them. The CEO has promised that more will

:09:38. > :09:40.be coming on board but we are still talking about 2 billion users and

:09:41. > :09:44.something like 6 million accounts that they deal with every single

:09:45. > :09:48.day. It is a shockingly small number of people charged with looking at

:09:49. > :09:52.the content and deciding what is acceptable, deciding what could be

:09:53. > :09:56.inciting, just what is incredibly distasteful and worse. Partly they

:09:57. > :10:01.will take on an extra 3000 people around the world to be a moderator

:10:02. > :10:05.so they can review millions of reports that they get every day. A

:10:06. > :10:11.simpler system now and they will be able to take down posts faster and

:10:12. > :10:18.contract law enforcement. It is said that they need to do more. Companies

:10:19. > :10:22.a joke they have no corporate social responsibility. They cannot keep

:10:23. > :10:29.control of the content, it has grown to a lidded too quickly and... They

:10:30. > :10:33.are not a platform, they are publisher of content, perhaps the

:10:34. > :10:40.biggest one. It is difficult for a government to deal with the scope of

:10:41. > :10:44.that but if you think about how controlled these newspapers and TV

:10:45. > :10:48.and radio are in terms of what they can publish... But we are much

:10:49. > :10:53.smaller. We are not just a platform that other people post on. The

:10:54. > :10:56.argument is that they are no longer a platform, that they are eight

:10:57. > :11:02.publisher and they need to accept a murder, of responsibility. The

:11:03. > :11:08.cynical use of free-speech argument is cynical. They just can't be

:11:09. > :11:11.bothered. The Times. Trump urges Muslims to join battle between good

:11:12. > :11:18.and evil. A different tone from President Trump. This is the sort of

:11:19. > :11:23.thing that he was saying about Islam and Islamist extremism in his run-up

:11:24. > :11:26.to his election. He was particularly critical of Hillary Clinton's

:11:27. > :11:31.relationship with Saudi Arabia. One of the things he said about Saudi

:11:32. > :11:35.Arabia during the campaign, it is amazing but he can now turn up at

:11:36. > :11:41.their country and praise them and talk about their kingdom. We are in

:11:42. > :11:44.a strange year of global politics and with Donald Trump, four-minute

:11:45. > :11:51.countries, the reality is that they had to reset the clock. I love the

:11:52. > :12:07.fact that now he has managed to utter an entire sentence with a. --

:12:08. > :12:15.with a period. We applaud in our brief statement ship. But the

:12:16. > :12:19.campaign trail is different of being in power. He is absolutely a

:12:20. > :12:25.pragmatist. If that coincides with world peace, I am all for it. Three

:12:26. > :12:31.more quick stories. Air pollution can deprive you of a good night 's

:12:32. > :12:36.sleep? Really? What a surprise. Air pollution is a great evil of our

:12:37. > :12:40.age. We know it affects everything, we know that children suffer because

:12:41. > :12:44.of it and the message here is that they found one more thing, one more

:12:45. > :12:47.reason to be suspicious of air pollution and try to bring down

:12:48. > :12:53.carbon levels and all sorts of bad things that happen, generally, in

:12:54. > :12:57.cities. Intensive this research, the average age was 63. We should point

:12:58. > :13:03.out that this was monitoring sites in six US cities. Not that I suspect

:13:04. > :13:15.our pollution will be different. But a look at the next paper. Heavenly

:13:16. > :13:20.returns for the Church of England puts it up among top performance.

:13:21. > :13:27.They do not follow every market trend. Being a church they tend to

:13:28. > :13:35.look at things with a long-term view in terms of their investments. They

:13:36. > :13:43.have a different strategy. With any story in the FT it is difficult to

:13:44. > :13:47.understand. You do need an economics degree, don't you? It is fascinating

:13:48. > :13:51.but they are going against the trend. Just waiting, sitting it out.

:13:52. > :13:59.Perhaps a little but a divine intervention? Good luck. Finally,

:14:00. > :14:06.the eye. Twin Peaks is back but what is it all about? Seminal, I suppose

:14:07. > :14:14.you would say 1990 TV series. And not a remake. Since we spoke earlier

:14:15. > :14:29.someone tweeted as to point out that Mash was perhaps the great show of

:14:30. > :14:38.the TV. David Lynch has responded to a nostalgia wave. Will you watch it?

:14:39. > :14:42.I did and I will and I hope it is slightly less complicated than the

:14:43. > :14:46.last one. Would watching 1's help you with the return? You should

:14:47. > :15:02.probably watch the first if you will want to watch the second. I don't

:15:03. > :15:06.agree With the idea of Mash being brilliant, it was a routine sitcom.

:15:07. > :15:08.That is it tonight. Think very much for coming in. A treat to see you

:15:09. > :15:13.both.
