had largely negative reviews. Find out what we think of it in the film

review. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:10.:00:14.

to what the papers will be With me are the parliamentary

:00:15.:00:18.

journalist, Tony Grew and Caroline Frost,

:00:19.:00:21.

Entertainment Editor Tomorrow's front pages,

:00:22.:00:22.

starting with - The Financial Times claims that

:00:23.:00:30.

Theresa May failed to consult some of her most senior colleagues

:00:31.:00:33.

on manifesto plans to overhaul The Times also goes with social

:00:34.:00:36.

care, saying that Theresa May's planned changes could

:00:37.:00:40.

be wrecked by poorly The Metro also leads

:00:41.:00:42.

with the general election, reporting that the Tories are now

:00:43.:00:47.

looking to attack Jeremy Corbyn after polls showed their lead over

:00:48.:00:54.

Labour being cut in half. The Telegraph reports that

:00:55.:00:57.

Jeremy Corbyn is at the centre of a growing row, after they say

:00:58.:01:00.

he repeatedly refused to condemn the actions of Republican

:01:01.:01:03.

terrorists in Ireland. The Daily Mail covers the same

:01:04.:01:05.

story, adding that Mr Corbyn's comments have enraged campaigners

:01:06.:01:08.

for the victims of terrorism. The Guardian says it has seen

:01:09.:01:10.

a large cash of internal documents from Facebook which show how

:01:11.:01:20.

the tech giant moderates its sites. And finally The Express has

:01:21.:01:25.

a bit of good news - Britain is set to enjoy a blast

:01:26.:01:27.

of summer with ten days of sunshine. Thank goodness for that. Let's begin

:01:28.:01:35.

with the social care story that keeps on giving, this one. The

:01:36.:01:40.

Tories stand firm after care wobble is the headline in the Independent.

:01:41.:01:48.

No change from pop your policies after the weekend poll show that

:01:49.:01:52.

Labour is closing the gap. But you wonder if it is a risk, will people

:01:53.:01:56.

vote Conservative no matter what? I think this is a calculated gamble

:01:57.:02:02.

within the inner sanctum of Theresa May and her closest counsel. There

:02:03.:02:06.

are innumerable safe Tory seats around the country because of the

:02:07.:02:12.

doubts about the Labour leadership. They have made this decision to go

:02:13.:02:16.

after non-traditional Tory voting places and this is obviously a

:02:17.:02:22.

policy that extends beyond their normal reach. A look now at the

:02:23.:02:31.

Financial Times, how they are reporting. Senior Tories kept in the

:02:32.:02:36.

dark over the dementia tax. This seems to have been re- occurring

:02:37.:02:45.

then, that many -- and not many people knew about this before it was

:02:46.:02:49.

released. Theresa May is obviously keeping a close eye on it and how it

:02:50.:02:56.

will be released. The FT says that this plan, the so-called dementia

:02:57.:03:08.

tax,... The concern here is not about the policy. I think that the

:03:09.:03:11.

reason may use being startlingly honest with the public which is not

:03:12.:03:15.

something we expect from politicians. She is getting rid of

:03:16.:03:20.

the promises of David Cameron to not raise taxes, that triple lock on the

:03:21.:03:26.

pension. And she is effectively saying to people who have large

:03:27.:03:30.

assets in the form of property that they will need to pay for their

:03:31.:03:36.

social care. I can imagine why for some people think that is shocking,

:03:37.:03:41.

but for those who are under 30, people who have a huge asset, the

:03:42.:03:45.

idea that young people should pay for the care of people with huge

:03:46.:03:53.

assets if unfair. The young people are less likely to vote, however.

:03:54.:03:59.

However this is a masterstroke from Theresa May. She is taking on those

:04:00.:04:04.

who are the largest voting block, those over 65. This is for her to

:04:05.:04:08.

create a new Britain. The poll numbers she is on now suggests that

:04:09.:04:13.

this is an opportunity for her to remake the country and it seems as

:04:14.:04:17.

if she will do that. You said previously that the policy has not

:04:18.:04:20.

been explained well people do not understand it. To say that you can

:04:21.:04:25.

keep 100,000 pounds of your own assets including the value of your

:04:26.:04:34.

home is a far value from the cap of ?76,000 which suggested nobody would

:04:35.:04:39.

pay more than that. This will affect different people across the country

:04:40.:04:45.

quite differently. Somebody with a house with average prices of under

:04:46.:04:51.

100,000 will be celebrating this policy because in theory they will

:04:52.:04:54.

never have to pay anything. People with assets in somewhere like Kent,

:04:55.:05:02.

in theory you will not have much inheritance to pass on. It is

:05:03.:05:07.

completely unearned wealth. Wider society think you should be able to

:05:08.:05:13.

pass on unearned wealth. People have often done it, haven't they? The

:05:14.:05:23.

different situation is our those people are now sucking care out of

:05:24.:05:26.

national health insurance? They pay their insurer ends. But life

:05:27.:05:40.

expectancy was smaller years ago. We have to accept now that people can

:05:41.:05:44.

be repaired tyre for 30 years. 30 years of constant care care, how

:05:45.:05:53.

much will it cost? Corbyn's eating teeth for IRA victims. Jeremy Corbyn

:05:54.:05:56.

refusing five times to unequivocally condemn the IRA. One Twitter user

:05:57.:06:06.

suggests that this is an old story that conveniently had dresses

:06:07.:06:13.

avoiding facts. This is the Conservative slinging mud. I think

:06:14.:06:16.

the Conservatives are perfectly right to point out that this man

:06:17.:06:25.

spent his time consorting with figures in Ireland at a time when

:06:26.:06:29.

they were bombing and murdering figures. He is the one now trying to

:06:30.:06:34.

recast this is his heroic contribution to the peace process. I

:06:35.:06:39.

reject that. He spent no time polling around with unionists and

:06:40.:06:44.

loyalist. He only took one side of the argument. He took the extreme

:06:45.:06:50.

side as well. I have no problem with people supporting a united Ireland

:06:51.:06:54.

but he had two ways to do it, constitutional politics or the

:06:55.:06:56.

politics of violence and he chose the politics of violence. He said he

:06:57.:07:01.

disagreed with the military of approach that was taken during the

:07:02.:07:05.

Troubles. He is condemned the bombing from all sides. I think he

:07:06.:07:10.

been extremely careful and, I would... I would disagree and say he

:07:11.:07:16.

has been consistent. He has stuck to his political ideas and in an age

:07:17.:07:20.

where politicians turn on a client because it is expedient, I found it

:07:21.:07:24.

refreshing to have somebody who voiced something that he knows will

:07:25.:07:27.

not play well with an enormous number of people and will play into

:07:28.:07:34.

a voting... That is because he has had the indulgence of irrelevance is

:07:35.:07:39.

entire political career. But then people as soon as they become

:07:40.:07:42.

popular, they don't have the right to change their mind. He is telling

:07:43.:07:48.

lies. He blamed Britain for seeking a military solution. It does not say

:07:49.:07:53.

here that he was telling lies. Let me explain why he was. In my

:07:54.:08:00.

opinion... The only people who thought were a military solution in

:08:01.:08:05.

Ireland where the IRA,... He says he has been consistent in his approach.

:08:06.:08:12.

He claims it was contributing to the peace process, which he was not. But

:08:13.:08:18.

if you engage with people, which is distasteful for many... This is not

:08:19.:08:22.

about engagement, this is about burnishing your left-wing

:08:23.:08:28.

credentials. This is about putting your position beside... I do

:08:29.:08:36.

struggle with the word lies. Facebook secret rules on hate speech

:08:37.:08:39.

sex violence and Terence in the Guardian. The Guardian has seen

:08:40.:08:44.

these and it has been picked up by the Telegraph. We can't see that

:08:45.:08:48.

there is a Facebook reply on this front page so I will do it for them

:08:49.:08:52.

in a moment. Caroline, this story will interest a lot of people. The

:08:53.:08:56.

rules that seem quite... This has implications not just media like

:08:57.:09:02.

ourselves but anybody who does get on Facebook, enjoys is it and uses

:09:03.:09:06.

it to engage with their friends. We know about the rules that our data

:09:07.:09:10.

is being shared that it is now going a little darker because Facebook is

:09:11.:09:15.

still refusing to acknowledge their increasing status as a publisher of

:09:16.:09:19.

almost unparalleled influence across the world. What the Guardian has

:09:20.:09:23.

done is uncovered some training manuals and ethical guidelines and

:09:24.:09:27.

all sorts of tree diagrams for their moderators which is a pathetically

:09:28.:09:33.

poor number of people. 4500 of them. The CEO has promised that more will

:09:34.:09:37.

be coming on board but we are still talking about 2 billion users and

:09:38.:09:40.

something like 6 million accounts that they deal with every single

:09:41.:09:44.

day. It is a shockingly small number of people charged with looking at

:09:45.:09:48.

the content and deciding what is acceptable, deciding what could be

:09:49.:09:52.

inciting, just what is incredibly distasteful and worse. Partly they

:09:53.:09:56.

will take on an extra 3000 people around the world to be a moderator

:09:57.:10:01.

so they can review millions of reports that they get every day. A

:10:02.:10:05.

simpler system now and they will be able to take down posts faster and

:10:06.:10:11.

contract law enforcement. It is said that they need to do more. Companies

:10:12.:10:18.

a joke they have no corporate social responsibility. They cannot keep

:10:19.:10:22.

control of the content, it has grown to a lidded too quickly and... They

:10:23.:10:29.

are not a platform, they are publisher of content, perhaps the

:10:30.:10:33.

biggest one. It is difficult for a government to deal with the scope of

:10:34.:10:40.

that but if you think about how controlled these newspapers and TV

:10:41.:10:44.

and radio are in terms of what they can publish... But we are much

:10:45.:10:48.

smaller. We are not just a platform that other people post on. The

:10:49.:10:53.

argument is that they are no longer a platform, that they are eight

:10:54.:10:56.

publisher and they need to accept a murder, of responsibility. The

:10:57.:11:02.

cynical use of free-speech argument is cynical. They just can't be

:11:03.:11:08.

bothered. The Times. Trump urges Muslims to join battle between good

:11:09.:11:11.

and evil. A different tone from President Trump. This is the sort of

:11:12.:11:18.

thing that he was saying about Islam and Islamist extremism in his run-up

:11:19.:11:23.

to his election. He was particularly critical of Hillary Clinton's

:11:24.:11:26.

relationship with Saudi Arabia. One of the things he said about Saudi

:11:27.:11:31.

Arabia during the campaign, it is amazing but he can now turn up at

:11:32.:11:35.

their country and praise them and talk about their kingdom. We are in

:11:36.:11:41.

a strange year of global politics and with Donald Trump, four-minute

:11:42.:11:44.

countries, the reality is that they had to reset the clock. I love the

:11:45.:11:51.

fact that now he has managed to utter an entire sentence with a. --

:11:52.:12:07.

with a period. We applaud in our brief statement ship. But the

:12:08.:12:15.

campaign trail is different of being in power. He is absolutely a

:12:16.:12:19.

pragmatist. If that coincides with world peace, I am all for it. Three

:12:20.:12:25.

more quick stories. Air pollution can deprive you of a good night 's

:12:26.:12:31.

sleep? Really? What a surprise. Air pollution is a great evil of our

:12:32.:12:36.

age. We know it affects everything, we know that children suffer because

:12:37.:12:40.

of it and the message here is that they found one more thing, one more

:12:41.:12:44.

reason to be suspicious of air pollution and try to bring down

:12:45.:12:47.

carbon levels and all sorts of bad things that happen, generally, in

:12:48.:12:53.

cities. Intensive this research, the average age was 63. We should point

:12:54.:12:57.

out that this was monitoring sites in six US cities. Not that I suspect

:12:58.:13:03.

our pollution will be different. But a look at the next paper. Heavenly

:13:04.:13:15.

returns for the Church of England puts it up among top performance.

:13:16.:13:20.

They do not follow every market trend. Being a church they tend to

:13:21.:13:27.

look at things with a long-term view in terms of their investments. They

:13:28.:13:35.

have a different strategy. With any story in the FT it is difficult to

:13:36.:13:43.

understand. You do need an economics degree, don't you? It is fascinating

:13:44.:13:47.

but they are going against the trend. Just waiting, sitting it out.

:13:48.:13:51.

Perhaps a little but a divine intervention? Good luck. Finally,

:13:52.:13:59.

the eye. Twin Peaks is back but what is it all about? Seminal, I suppose

:14:00.:14:06.

you would say 1990 TV series. And not a remake. Since we spoke earlier

:14:07.:14:14.

someone tweeted as to point out that Mash was perhaps the great show of

:14:15.:14:29.

the TV. David Lynch has responded to a nostalgia wave. Will you watch it?

:14:30.:14:38.

I did and I will and I hope it is slightly less complicated than the

:14:39.:14:42.

last one. Would watching 1's help you with the return? You should

:14:43.:14:46.

probably watch the first if you will want to watch the second. I don't

:14:47.:15:02.

agree With the idea of Mash being brilliant, it was a routine sitcom.

:15:03.:15:06.

That is it tonight. Think very much for coming in. A treat to see you

:15:07.:15:08.

both.
