Review. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be With me are deputy head of sport

at the Sun, Martin Lipton, and the Evening Standard columnist,

Rosamund Urwin. Tomorrow's front

pages, starting with: The Observer leads with expert calls

for the Government to keep co-operating with the EU on security

and intelligence after Brexit. The Sunday Express talked

to Theresa May about her meeting with some of the victims

of the Manchester attack. Like many Sunday papers,

The Mail on Sunday carries a CCTV image showing the Manchester bomber,

Salman Abedi, minutes The UK's Security Minister has told

the Sunday Telegraph that social media firms are not doing enough

to tackle extremism. And the Sunday Times talks

about the Conservative Party wanting to re-launch its campaign,

after Labour narrows the gap So, those were the front pages. A

more in-depth look now with Martin and Osmond. Where are we starting? I

think we'll start with the Sunday Times story and this relaunch of the

Tory campaign. If you remember, two weeks ago when the election campaign

officially started, we are talking a 20% Conservative lead and now, polls

ranging between six and 12%, pretty significant in the normal context of

things but it does suggest there are some problems, if not quite an

implosion, certainly some good wounds on the campaign, particularly

with social care and the dementia tax, as it was framed. It does dry

me there is a similarity here, back in 1987, the Tory lead whittled away

in the last couple of weeks of the campaign to the extent that there

was a major dust up tween David Young, and Norman Tebbit, who worked

the high command of Margaret Hatcher, a week before the poll,

worried that they would throw it away, and they managed to get a

majority of 110. But clearly there are issues. Tory people talking

about the manifesto authors, saying they should be taken out and shot

after the U-turn over social care which is not. Does the paper name?

Unsurprisingly not. He can't be an MP. One of the things they draw on

is this bit between two of them and the team is very close-knit and they

were divided on this, Fiona Hill didn't want this but Nick did. This

touches on how high the bar is set for Theresa May because they point

out that, yes, on current polling, we should note that laboured does

tend to have a good time to weeks before elections, that is a pattern

we have seen before. They point out she is on course for a majority of

50. That sounds good but because the bar has been set really high, is the

failure here if she doesn't get more than eight to. And that is partly

obviously because of the seemingly weakness of the opposition. She has

tipped the scales by calling the election when she did. The reality

here is that there has been a staggering degree of complacency in

the Conservative campaign, probably because they looked at the

opposition and thought, we don't have one, we can do whatever we

want, it is Matt David Wheaton flesh out the details because people will

vote for us anyway, and they took the electorate for granted, to a

degree. I find it difficult to conceive that Corby led Labour Party

canned get more than eight Miliband. It is the same boat that lead got in

2005. Another interesting point is this return to the 2-party. Getting

80%. From 1987 onwards, the 2-party share has dipped down to somewhere,

if you look at the last election, 65%, we are looking here at an 80%

share for labour and Conservative. It is going to back 40 years. Do you

think realistically they can reset think realistically they can reset

that button? This is what they are saying. Everything that came before

the attack is ancient history. Is that wishful thinking? The Tories

will make the last 12 days of the campaign a referendum on Jeremy

Corbyn. And works it. That will be the key policy, and I suspect it

will be fairly successful. OK, the story that has been leading our news

agenda here today and funnily enough in forming a lot of passengers and

travellers at Heathrow and Gatwick Airport as to what was going on

because the company that were hoping to fly them to the destination were

not talking to them. It was the front page of the Telegraph, what a

complete failure in customer services. You've got to feeling

crabby sorry for the passengers stuck there. It is the sixth time in

the year that BA have faced delays because of a breakdown. They have to

do something to address that. I watched the chief executive, there

was a video posted online, and he told passengers to go on Twitter to

check, and you thought that is not relevant to everybody. That is not

really where you should be getting your information from but the

collapse was so great that that was where they were being forced to go.

Would it you make of the fact that people didn't even see a BA member

of staff at the airport? How often have you been in a situation where

you have been left in the lurch? If you are told there is a problem, and

it will be three hours, you might not like it but you can live with

it. If you are not told, and you waiting three to find out, you've

got the raging hum. Even if these people had already been told their

flights were cancelled, they wouldn't have unhappy but at least

there would have had some certainty and conviction. It is these

inability to message that I find so many companies are guilty of. It

really in theory aids because the bases of customer service is to let

people know, that is all you have to do. They might not like it but at

least they are informed, they can make a plan, do something about it.

Why? It is that culture of don't admit lame, isn't it. We all know

mistakes are made. Tell them that tree. They may not like it but they

prefer that truths to lies. The mail, this is the CCTV image

released by Greater Manchester Police. I don't know what is the

worst thing about this, is that he looks so ordinary and inoffensive,

and this manifest guilty of the most barbarous, monstrous fowl at you can

imagine, and yet, you wouldn't know that. The banality of evil. I

introduced -- interviewed Dr who treated patients on Thursday and it

was so gruesome, and you think this is something another human did to

people. Yes. The good thing is they have built up this picture and they

are continuing to build up this picture of things like his finances.

Another point that came out this evening is that they seem to have

located the flat weather bomb may have been built. We need to find out

how widely known this plot was. Was it a very small group of him and his

family, two of whom who are in Libya, or was it half a dozen people

all was a 20 people? We need to discover the strength of this. Like

the anti-terrorism team are saying, there are 500 active investigations.

We are lucky there are so few. 3000 people involved. We don't know how

lucky we are, how many of these things have been foiled before they

got to fruition. This one wasn't foiled, probably because it was a

soft target. Let's go quickly to the Telegraph and social media's role.

But Tory minister of the Sunday Telegraph, Minister... Social media

firms failing to halt terror. Theresa May, this is part of her

campaign against Facebook and social media, and she wants world leaders

to put pressure on those companies. She said to the G-7 that the

battlefield has moved and it is the internet, basically now. This all

sounds very sensible, I think there was a difficult thing to wake up, to

do with Civil Liberties. But the Manchester killer had been reported

to the police on numerous occasions so it is not as Bob it is a simple

explanation here. If these firms had done more, we would have known this.

I think there is a legitimate argument that most people would

agree with that the Civil Liberties of someone who wants to blow people

up really don't deserve to exist. There is an interesting point here.

The security minister points out that we ask for the same type of

data as he claims are sold on to other companies and when we ask for

the same data, we are refused. It is ridiculous. These companies earn

billions of pounds of dollars, they have a moral obligation to do what

is right. You know whether it is child pornography, whether it is

violence, whether it is in this case attempts to blow up Western

civilisation, the privacy issue goes out the window. You would be happy

for people to have access to... Yes. I generally would. I don't have a

problem. There is an interesting thing, put it clear. The more

libertarian part of the Conservative Party hates this. Our Brexit

secretary David raises resigned over this increasing state meddling. --

David Davis. We'll leave it now. Ask again at 11:30pm. That is that from

the papers this hour, we are back in half an hour. Will have a look at

the stories making up our front pages. Coming up next, Ben Brown and

the Film Review.
