25/05/2017 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

With me are Christopher Hope, Assistant Editor and Chief

Political Correspondent at The Daily Telegraph,

and Miranda Green from the Financial Times.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will say tomorrow that terror attacks like

the one in Manchester are linked to Britain's involvement in military

action abroad. That is in the Telegraph. The metro beads on a

Manchester looked armed police will be patrolling train carriages across

the country for the first time after the terror threat level was raised

to critical. They express focuses on the Queen's visit to a Manchester

hospital where many of the young victims of the warming are

recovering. The Times reports that the attacker Salman Abedi is

believed to have planned the attack for a year and made at least two

separate trips to buy bomb materials at DIY shops. Theresa May is

expected to tell leaders that the G7 that the fight against Islamic State

is fighting from the -- shifting from the battlefield to the

internet. And several awkward moments for president trumpet the G7

summit. He told leaders he was deeply troubled about leaks --

president trumpet. There are fears there may be another

terror attack. Is believed he used enough explosives to go in at least

two devices. A lovely photograph of the Queen speaking to some of those

interested in -- injured in Manchester. Lovely photograph,

meeting the Queen probably for the first time. To cheer her up. What a

great thing to happen after a dreadful evening on Monday night.

The Queen allowed the camera to follow her around the hospital and

just the small talk she made in the way she spoke, she is 91, dealing

with young children, I thought she was wonderful. Looked great. Utterly

brilliant what she said. Disc group -- discussing her use of the

adjective wicked. It is a slightly archaic word. Modern parlance we

would tend to see evil in its place that actually wicked is a

tremendously powerful... Maybe because we do not hear it that much.

You hear it in pantomime but that has a real meaning, evil, sinful,

immoral, wrong. It has a greater moral force behind it. Sinful. An

interesting and powerful way of thinking about it rather than using

the throwaway word evil. It is interesting how she described what

happened. The photograph of the victim and her mother thrilled to

see her but you sense that hospital staff likewise. That is her role. He

completely nonpolitical head of state is very important at times of

national wobble, national emotional crisis. The visit from the Queen

probably comforts all of us, not probably comforts all of us, not

just the people she met today. You want the monarch to be visible at a

time like this. It is a nice set of pictures and she handled it as she

always does with total aplomb. That is the first time we have seen the

victims at all. For the Queen to get interviews with them is OK by most

journalists. The Financial Times, Donald Trump, you have been studying

him in some detail. It says that he has suffered his share of awkward

moments at the gathering and I have been compulsively watching the

videos of how he has been interacting with the other leaders

of Nato countries. When he was standing for president he

controversially said that Nato was obsolete so this is the main defence

co-operation organisation of the Western powers. He has come around

to it since being elected president. Here he was for the first time.

Unlike his Secretary of State who had come to need to a couple of

months ago and made very soft and friendly noises towards America's

allies, Trump was very confrontational and slide of a

run-off for not paying enough. There is this background road about

whether the US has been leaking intelligence from the investigation

into the Manchester bombing. It has been a very tense day of the Nato

summit. Bizarre bits of film of Trump being snubbed by Emmanuel

Macron the new president of France. That look awkward. We were behind

Emmanuel Macron and he veered away to Angela Merkel. The clever one

would be talked to the person you do not know. There is also footage of

Trump rudely pushing the Montenegrin Prime Minister out of the way and he

has only just been elected so he did not have time to feel to contribute

financially. On that contribution does he have a point? The United

States without doubt do give more in percentage terms than others and he

can look at others and say you have to pay your way. He is right. He

looks around America and sees that they need the money. He is saying

we're not going to protect them unless they follow suit. The 2% of

GDP is paid for. The UK does periods way. Apparently there have been

fresh assurances of the distancing that was happening a few hours ago

is no longer happening. Yes, but there is no doubt about the feuding.

Incredible British understatement yesterday from Michael Fallon and

others. Those photos were forensic evidence. They will be shot in a

trial, when anyone is caught and for them to appeared in the media as

outrageous. There is also a point about endangering sources. We know

that the White House might have a slightly loose attitude to this so

there was a question about security co-operation. Chris wrote this.

Armed police on the trains and the metro. -- Chris wrote the next one.

This is yet another measure of how serious the terrorist threat, some

sort of imminent event, is being taken. This is very dramatic. Even

when there is heavy policing we are not used to seeing this on the

streets and it will certainly feel very uncomfortable for a lot of

people to see armed police on the trains. It has already been

uncomfortable for people to see the armed forces. It has been very

interesting talking to, there was an interview this morning with David

Blunkett talking about when he was Home Secretary and there was a

similarly elevated terror threat and suddenly there were tanks outside

Heathrow and he decided it was just an unhealthy thing to be showing and

that if you were going to use the armed forces you had to do it quite

subtly or is not to frighten people too much because... Some will be

reassured. We do not want to get used to it. We are not subject to

whatever they know about the security issues so they are

responding to it. It looks alarming. How little play on the election day

in two weeks, looking at the exit poll, we will be hearing who has

one. I wonder whether they will have to bring in security to protect

polling booths and if you are voting and there is a guy with a gun

outside how does that make you feel? The election entered the news again

today through Ukip. Jeremy Corbyn tomorrow. He is going to say

tomorrow that Britain's behaviour overseas, Libya, Syria, Iraq, has an

impact and maybe has fuelled some terrorism in this country. The

timing of this coming after Manchester means we are linking the

two. Linking what happened in Manchester. The guy who has blown

himself up was known to have Libyan parents and had been fairly

recently. These are well known. Well-known views he has had for a

while. The fact he is choosing to say this four days later... The

Conservatives cannot believe their luck. He will not mind because it

supports his view. People are supports his view. People are

finding out what he thinks. It is not a misstep, it is what he thinks

and it is good to have the debate before the election. Another example

of how this election campaign is embracing many more points of view

on a whole array of issues that perhaps previous ones have. There is

a big choice for people this time. What it is offering people is a very

polarised choice. This sort of pacifist background of Jeremy Corbyn

and the hard left of the Labour Party is something that has not been

part of the Labour Party in government in our memory over the

past two decades and certainly was not part of the Tony Blair and

Gordon Brown parliament and on the other side you have Theresa May who

has managed to successfully absorbed most of the majority of Ukip voters

you have the choice. It is the polarised choice. That is not much

going on in the centre. It will be interesting to see how people jump.

These are the sincere viewers of the far left of the Labour Party. He

would argue it would be dishonest not to voice them. You would argue

about the timing. There have not been any funerals yet. The names of

the victims are being released. 9/11, the attack on America,

happened before the Afghanistan invasion, for a rack, for any

Western intervention, that is what the war on terror has been a

consequence of, not any invasion. The Times has an interesting poll.

We all this approach these with caution. After 2015 most news

organisations decided to try to calm down about polling data. However

there are sometimes polls which are not on the marking a moment of

change in the campaign but can actually affect people's votes. In

the Scottish independence referendum that poll by the same company... Two

weeks before... That seem to show that the independent site was going

to win... And we all scrambled to Scotland. It injected panic into the

sea in the UK campaign and all sorts of promises were made. This is one

poll, there may be others. It changes behaviour because one of the

things the Conservatives think they are backing his complacency about

the idea Jeremy Corbyn cannot win. It could end up helping them but it

could be the start of something more like a close race. YouGov had them

are nine points last Sunday. Good morning Britain had them at nine

points. It is now five points. 25 points when the election was called.

There's a feeling Jeremy Corbyn is offering hope and some of ideas,

real, investment. Energy. He is offering ideas and thoughts and

tuition fees. What is Theresa May's big offer? Where is the vision? She

appears to warning people about what might happen if Jeremy Corbyn gets

in. There was a lot of policy in her manifesto. It was policy that you

would describe as grave confronting the voters with uncomfortable truths

than things they do not want to hear like social care. I want to not to

the guardian because we are back to extremism but talking about a

different element to it. What Theresa May is going to say to the

G7 tomorrow about technology. Facebook and social media dealing

with online extremism. Some of this has been known about before. The

Tories will be pleased that is a splash. Time has beaten us.
