:00:20. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:24. > :00:25.With me are Christopher Hope, Assistant Editor and Chief

:00:26. > :00:27.Political Correspondent at The Daily Telegraph,

:00:28. > :00:38.and Miranda Green from the Financial Times.

:00:39. > :00:44.Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will say tomorrow that terror attacks like

:00:45. > :00:48.the one in Manchester are linked to Britain's involvement in military

:00:49. > :00:52.action abroad. That is in the Telegraph. The metro beads on a

:00:53. > :00:56.Manchester looked armed police will be patrolling train carriages across

:00:57. > :01:01.the country for the first time after the terror threat level was raised

:01:02. > :01:06.to critical. They express focuses on the Queen's visit to a Manchester

:01:07. > :01:14.hospital where many of the young victims of the warming are

:01:15. > :01:17.recovering. The Times reports that the attacker Salman Abedi is

:01:18. > :01:20.believed to have planned the attack for a year and made at least two

:01:21. > :01:27.separate trips to buy bomb materials at DIY shops. Theresa May is

:01:28. > :01:31.expected to tell leaders that the G7 that the fight against Islamic State

:01:32. > :01:36.is fighting from the -- shifting from the battlefield to the

:01:37. > :01:42.internet. And several awkward moments for president trumpet the G7

:01:43. > :01:45.summit. He told leaders he was deeply troubled about leaks --

:01:46. > :02:02.president trumpet. There are fears there may be another

:02:03. > :02:11.terror attack. Is believed he used enough explosives to go in at least

:02:12. > :02:14.two devices. A lovely photograph of the Queen speaking to some of those

:02:15. > :02:19.interested in -- injured in Manchester. Lovely photograph,

:02:20. > :02:26.meeting the Queen probably for the first time. To cheer her up. What a

:02:27. > :02:31.great thing to happen after a dreadful evening on Monday night.

:02:32. > :02:34.The Queen allowed the camera to follow her around the hospital and

:02:35. > :02:39.just the small talk she made in the way she spoke, she is 91, dealing

:02:40. > :02:51.with young children, I thought she was wonderful. Looked great. Utterly

:02:52. > :02:55.brilliant what she said. Disc group -- discussing her use of the

:02:56. > :03:02.adjective wicked. It is a slightly archaic word. Modern parlance we

:03:03. > :03:06.would tend to see evil in its place that actually wicked is a

:03:07. > :03:11.tremendously powerful... Maybe because we do not hear it that much.

:03:12. > :03:17.You hear it in pantomime but that has a real meaning, evil, sinful,

:03:18. > :03:23.immoral, wrong. It has a greater moral force behind it. Sinful. An

:03:24. > :03:31.interesting and powerful way of thinking about it rather than using

:03:32. > :03:35.the throwaway word evil. It is interesting how she described what

:03:36. > :03:41.happened. The photograph of the victim and her mother thrilled to

:03:42. > :03:46.see her but you sense that hospital staff likewise. That is her role. He

:03:47. > :03:53.completely nonpolitical head of state is very important at times of

:03:54. > :03:59.national wobble, national emotional crisis. The visit from the Queen

:04:00. > :04:07.probably comforts all of us, not probably comforts all of us, not

:04:08. > :04:13.just the people she met today. You want the monarch to be visible at a

:04:14. > :04:18.time like this. It is a nice set of pictures and she handled it as she

:04:19. > :04:23.always does with total aplomb. That is the first time we have seen the

:04:24. > :04:33.victims at all. For the Queen to get interviews with them is OK by most

:04:34. > :04:42.journalists. The Financial Times, Donald Trump, you have been studying

:04:43. > :04:45.him in some detail. It says that he has suffered his share of awkward

:04:46. > :04:56.moments at the gathering and I have been compulsively watching the

:04:57. > :05:01.videos of how he has been interacting with the other leaders

:05:02. > :05:04.of Nato countries. When he was standing for president he

:05:05. > :05:08.controversially said that Nato was obsolete so this is the main defence

:05:09. > :05:14.co-operation organisation of the Western powers. He has come around

:05:15. > :05:20.to it since being elected president. Here he was for the first time.

:05:21. > :05:24.Unlike his Secretary of State who had come to need to a couple of

:05:25. > :05:33.months ago and made very soft and friendly noises towards America's

:05:34. > :05:36.allies, Trump was very confrontational and slide of a

:05:37. > :05:42.run-off for not paying enough. There is this background road about

:05:43. > :05:45.whether the US has been leaking intelligence from the investigation

:05:46. > :05:49.into the Manchester bombing. It has been a very tense day of the Nato

:05:50. > :05:55.summit. Bizarre bits of film of Trump being snubbed by Emmanuel

:05:56. > :06:01.Macron the new president of France. That look awkward. We were behind

:06:02. > :06:07.Emmanuel Macron and he veered away to Angela Merkel. The clever one

:06:08. > :06:12.would be talked to the person you do not know. There is also footage of

:06:13. > :06:21.Trump rudely pushing the Montenegrin Prime Minister out of the way and he

:06:22. > :06:26.has only just been elected so he did not have time to feel to contribute

:06:27. > :06:31.financially. On that contribution does he have a point? The United

:06:32. > :06:36.States without doubt do give more in percentage terms than others and he

:06:37. > :06:42.can look at others and say you have to pay your way. He is right. He

:06:43. > :06:52.looks around America and sees that they need the money. He is saying

:06:53. > :07:01.we're not going to protect them unless they follow suit. The 2% of

:07:02. > :07:08.GDP is paid for. The UK does periods way. Apparently there have been

:07:09. > :07:12.fresh assurances of the distancing that was happening a few hours ago

:07:13. > :07:19.is no longer happening. Yes, but there is no doubt about the feuding.

:07:20. > :07:25.Incredible British understatement yesterday from Michael Fallon and

:07:26. > :07:33.others. Those photos were forensic evidence. They will be shot in a

:07:34. > :07:37.trial, when anyone is caught and for them to appeared in the media as

:07:38. > :07:43.outrageous. There is also a point about endangering sources. We know

:07:44. > :07:47.that the White House might have a slightly loose attitude to this so

:07:48. > :07:57.there was a question about security co-operation. Chris wrote this.

:07:58. > :08:08.Armed police on the trains and the metro. -- Chris wrote the next one.

:08:09. > :08:12.This is yet another measure of how serious the terrorist threat, some

:08:13. > :08:22.sort of imminent event, is being taken. This is very dramatic. Even

:08:23. > :08:25.when there is heavy policing we are not used to seeing this on the

:08:26. > :08:30.streets and it will certainly feel very uncomfortable for a lot of

:08:31. > :08:33.people to see armed police on the trains. It has already been

:08:34. > :08:41.uncomfortable for people to see the armed forces. It has been very

:08:42. > :08:45.interesting talking to, there was an interview this morning with David

:08:46. > :08:49.Blunkett talking about when he was Home Secretary and there was a

:08:50. > :08:53.similarly elevated terror threat and suddenly there were tanks outside

:08:54. > :08:59.Heathrow and he decided it was just an unhealthy thing to be showing and

:09:00. > :09:03.that if you were going to use the armed forces you had to do it quite

:09:04. > :09:11.subtly or is not to frighten people too much because... Some will be

:09:12. > :09:17.reassured. We do not want to get used to it. We are not subject to

:09:18. > :09:22.whatever they know about the security issues so they are

:09:23. > :09:29.responding to it. It looks alarming. How little play on the election day

:09:30. > :09:37.in two weeks, looking at the exit poll, we will be hearing who has

:09:38. > :09:42.one. I wonder whether they will have to bring in security to protect

:09:43. > :09:48.polling booths and if you are voting and there is a guy with a gun

:09:49. > :09:53.outside how does that make you feel? The election entered the news again

:09:54. > :10:02.today through Ukip. Jeremy Corbyn tomorrow. He is going to say

:10:03. > :10:07.tomorrow that Britain's behaviour overseas, Libya, Syria, Iraq, has an

:10:08. > :10:11.impact and maybe has fuelled some terrorism in this country. The

:10:12. > :10:15.timing of this coming after Manchester means we are linking the

:10:16. > :10:20.two. Linking what happened in Manchester. The guy who has blown

:10:21. > :10:26.himself up was known to have Libyan parents and had been fairly

:10:27. > :10:34.recently. These are well known. Well-known views he has had for a

:10:35. > :10:40.while. The fact he is choosing to say this four days later... The

:10:41. > :10:45.Conservatives cannot believe their luck. He will not mind because it

:10:46. > :10:52.supports his view. People are supports his view. People are

:10:53. > :10:56.finding out what he thinks. It is not a misstep, it is what he thinks

:10:57. > :11:00.and it is good to have the debate before the election. Another example

:11:01. > :11:06.of how this election campaign is embracing many more points of view

:11:07. > :11:14.on a whole array of issues that perhaps previous ones have. There is

:11:15. > :11:20.a big choice for people this time. What it is offering people is a very

:11:21. > :11:27.polarised choice. This sort of pacifist background of Jeremy Corbyn

:11:28. > :11:30.and the hard left of the Labour Party is something that has not been

:11:31. > :11:34.part of the Labour Party in government in our memory over the

:11:35. > :11:38.past two decades and certainly was not part of the Tony Blair and

:11:39. > :11:45.Gordon Brown parliament and on the other side you have Theresa May who

:11:46. > :11:51.has managed to successfully absorbed most of the majority of Ukip voters

:11:52. > :11:56.you have the choice. It is the polarised choice. That is not much

:11:57. > :12:01.going on in the centre. It will be interesting to see how people jump.

:12:02. > :12:07.These are the sincere viewers of the far left of the Labour Party. He

:12:08. > :12:12.would argue it would be dishonest not to voice them. You would argue

:12:13. > :12:22.about the timing. There have not been any funerals yet. The names of

:12:23. > :12:27.the victims are being released. 9/11, the attack on America,

:12:28. > :12:31.happened before the Afghanistan invasion, for a rack, for any

:12:32. > :12:42.Western intervention, that is what the war on terror has been a

:12:43. > :12:48.consequence of, not any invasion. The Times has an interesting poll.

:12:49. > :12:56.We all this approach these with caution. After 2015 most news

:12:57. > :13:03.organisations decided to try to calm down about polling data. However

:13:04. > :13:07.there are sometimes polls which are not on the marking a moment of

:13:08. > :13:13.change in the campaign but can actually affect people's votes. In

:13:14. > :13:21.the Scottish independence referendum that poll by the same company... Two

:13:22. > :13:28.weeks before... That seem to show that the independent site was going

:13:29. > :13:34.to win... And we all scrambled to Scotland. It injected panic into the

:13:35. > :13:40.sea in the UK campaign and all sorts of promises were made. This is one

:13:41. > :13:44.poll, there may be others. It changes behaviour because one of the

:13:45. > :13:48.things the Conservatives think they are backing his complacency about

:13:49. > :13:52.the idea Jeremy Corbyn cannot win. It could end up helping them but it

:13:53. > :14:02.could be the start of something more like a close race. YouGov had them

:14:03. > :14:07.are nine points last Sunday. Good morning Britain had them at nine

:14:08. > :14:12.points. It is now five points. 25 points when the election was called.

:14:13. > :14:22.There's a feeling Jeremy Corbyn is offering hope and some of ideas,

:14:23. > :14:29.real, investment. Energy. He is offering ideas and thoughts and

:14:30. > :14:34.tuition fees. What is Theresa May's big offer? Where is the vision? She

:14:35. > :14:39.appears to warning people about what might happen if Jeremy Corbyn gets

:14:40. > :14:45.in. There was a lot of policy in her manifesto. It was policy that you

:14:46. > :14:48.would describe as grave confronting the voters with uncomfortable truths

:14:49. > :14:56.than things they do not want to hear like social care. I want to not to

:14:57. > :15:00.the guardian because we are back to extremism but talking about a

:15:01. > :15:06.different element to it. What Theresa May is going to say to the

:15:07. > :15:14.G7 tomorrow about technology. Facebook and social media dealing

:15:15. > :15:18.with online extremism. Some of this has been known about before. The

:15:19. > :15:23.Tories will be pleased that is a splash. Time has beaten us.

:15:24. > :15:29.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:15:30. > :15:35.And if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it
