This is BBC News with Martine Croxall. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Police investigating the suicide bombing in Manchester on Monday have | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Remembering the 22 victims of Monday's bombing, | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
the city came together for the Great Manchester Run, | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
to show it won't be defeated by terror. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
It's been an exceptionally difficult week for everybody, but greater | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Manchester is saying this place will get through it and we will go | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
forward together. Vigils and services of remembrance | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
have been taking place today in memory of people | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
who lost their lives Thousands of British Airways | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
passengers have suffered a second day of delays caused | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
by a massive IT failure. Japan has protested | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
against North Korea's latest launch of a missile, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
which appears to have landed Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
to tomorrow's papers. With me are John Rentoul, | :01:01. | :01:20. | |
Chief Political Commentator He has told us that he's interested | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
in politics, so I'm quite relieved. And I hope she's interested in | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
economics as well. The Financial Times leads | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
on the IT chaos causing misery for BA customers | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
and carries a photo of a rather happier looking German Chancellor | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
at a campaign event. cost-cutting and what it calls | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
a 'moronic' cover-up. The election campaign | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
is the Telegraph's main story. It claims Jeremy Corbyn attended | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
an event ceremony in honour of a terrorist involved in the 1972 | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Munich attack on Israeli athletes. The Eye says the Conservatives | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
are re-launching their election campaign in a bid to stop | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
what the paper calls their poll The Times reports that a key legal | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
power designed to control British jihadists has | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
been used only once. The Mirror has a full-page photo | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
of some of the 40,000 people who took part | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
in the Great Manchester Run. The paper calls it a 'defiant | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
act of solidarity'. And a terror warning is the top | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
story for the Express. It reports on fears that Libya has | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
become a breeding ground Let's start with something a bit | :02:30. | :02:41. | |
uplifting, the front page of the daily Mirror. 40,000 runners taking | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
to the streets in Manchester. Ruth, you know Manchester better than any | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
of us. This speaks of the spirit of the place. We still all know and | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
think about the people who lost their lives and their families, but | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the people from the North West of England are without doubt the best | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
people ever anywhere. They are the most intelligent, beautiful, they | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
are the best comics, and they stick together. What got me about this was | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
the way the communities came together as well. I was very touched | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
when I saw the Muslim cleric with this elderly Jewish lady because you | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
want to see everybody together. You don't want to see particular groups | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
together, you want to see the whole city which is as diverse and | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
energetic as any in the country. To hold an event like that so soon | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
after something which could have made so afraid to go out is quite | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
uplifting. I think the spirit Manchester has shown in the past | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
week has been really impressive and I'm not from Manchester, but I'm | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
really proud of them. I love Manchester. It's a great place to go | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
to party conferences in. Politics again, you see. Europe assessed. It | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
was great to see everybody out and congratulations to get the race | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
under way and I'm sure they had great fun -- you are obsessed. Ten | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
days to diss -- decide the Prime Minister. The Conservatives are | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
relaunching their campaign because the polls are not going quite so | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
well, but also Nicola Sturgeon suggesting that she would join | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
forces in a Progressive alliance with Labour. That's right. That is | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
what has happened new to night. You were reporting it earlier, but | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Nicola Sturgeon saying she would be part of the Progressive Alliance, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
but also said she did not think Jeremy Corbyn was suited to be Prime | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Minister. She is trying to have it both ways. The thing about Nicola | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Sturgeon is that you secretly know she wants Theresa May to win, like | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
she wanted David Cameron to win before because she knows the Tory | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Prime Minister in London means votes for the SNP in Scotland. But she | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
also has to pretend to be part of the Progressive Alliance against the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Tories. This relaunch of the campaign will be very interesting. I | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
think it will. They will go hard about Jeremy Corbyn himself as being | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
weak on terrorism not least because of his association with the IRA, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
allegedly and he said he was not sympathetic with any terrorists. And | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
he has voted against anti-terror -- legislation in the last ten years so | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
his record on terrorism is very poor so I think they will go over that. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
It might sound like opportunism but this is an election campaign after | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
all but even though there has been a slide in the Tory vote it still | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
looks as though they are reasonably on track to have a fair overall | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
majority, perhaps not we thought a fortnight ago but still an overall | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
majority. One poll the other day had a 5-point lead. That is very close | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
but then there was not a poll today in the Sunday Times which was seven | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
points. That's not suggesting necessarily that the polls are | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
shifting. We will have to see what happens this week and whether the | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
narrowing continues or whether it starts to widen again. The other | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
thing to say about Nicola Sturgeon is that she was scorned by Jeremy | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Corbyn. She is a spurned woman. She wasn't interested in the progressive | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
alliance. She tried to snuggle up to Ed Miliband and Ed Miliband had to | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
try and defend her. It is a complete disaster for the Labour leader to be | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
associated with the idea of a coalition of chaos. The stories | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
could do well in Scotland and pick up another five or six seats. They | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
could do better than in a long time. Lots of people have been complaining | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
to me, not you, but to me. The independent. Labours are the most | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
trusted to defend pensioners. Social care fiasco. We must start with you, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
John. What it found? I think it's significant that the social care | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
question has not gone away. It was the big question after the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Conservatives publish the manifesto, the withdrawal of free home visits. | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
And they are expected to use the value of their home to help pay for | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
it and that has gone down extremely badly with a lot of pensioners and | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
it is significant because the conservative vote depends on older | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
people who tend to turn out a lot more than younger people and vote, | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
and if they are unsettled by this that might not happen this time. It | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
really put the cat among the pigeons, the so-called dementia tax. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
It did seem like when them manifesto came out it was anti-pensions, and | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
it wasn't about the extra expenditure on home care, if you are | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
at home, although there was a limit of 100,000. There was no cap, that | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
was the main thing and then there was the U-turn last Monday. It | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
wasn't just the social care thing, it was the means testing over winter | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
fuel allowances. And the end of the triple lock. In themselves, perhaps | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
they don't seem that important, but taken together it seemed like a | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
concerted attack on a splendid group of people which are the backbone of | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
this country. They have paid their stamp. I have been paying all my | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
life. I come from the north of England and I had to pay, it's just | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
not good enough. It's only just under the surface, isn't it. Life is | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
hard. Hopefully your fee for coming here will help a little. Enough cat | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
food. The Daily Telegraph, well, the worst chaos I have ever seen. Half | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
term misery as BA disruption to continue for days there is a picture | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
of a poor woman who is asleep on her luggage waiting for a flight which | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
may or may not have arrived yet. The biggest IT failure in aviation | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
history one of the other papers reports. It seems as though it will | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
be an expensive one for BA, because the Daily Telegraph is saying that | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
the compensation payments may be 50 million and there will be the costs | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
of goodwill and lost business of another 50 million but the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
suggestion is that one of the reasons we had this disaster was a | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
move to cost-cutting and they had outsourced a lot of the IT services | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
to India, that kind of consultancy or whatever it was, and if that's | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
the case, my goodness, has it rebounded. A false economy indeed. | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
And it does seem to be not a lack of communication, a PR disaster of the | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
world's kind. -- the worst kind. It did seem most of the information | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
came from the media. We did our bit, John. Very few members of staff | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
either seem to have information or be in evidence at Gatwick or | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
Heathrow. That's right. It looks as though BAe were taken surprise by | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
this. They didn't seem to have a contingency plan may need one for | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
when things like that go wrong, just so they have got people out there | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
telling the customer is what is going on. Any day of the week for | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
this to happen would have been difficult, but over a bank holiday | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
weekend where so many people are trying to get away and the | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
ramifications are worldwide because all the planes will not be in the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
right place. Including Andrew Neil, apparently. He could have got on a | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
train, it's not like getting back from India. He could have thumbed | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
left. I wonder who would have given him a lift. Jeremy Corbyn? Nicola | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Sturgeon, maybe. I think John is right, no contingency plans. No free | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
food, no water, drinks. Some people were lucky if they got a bottle of | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
water. Look after these people for goodness' sake. They were ignored -- | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
neglected and ignored. It's extraordinary. This is a consumer | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
driven industry, so we here. Let's look at the FT. Angela Merkel | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
sipping a large glass of beer in Munich. Cold comfort, it says. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Europeans on their own as US tensions grow. She is saying in this | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
campaign rally that she was at that really we cannot rely on the US and | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
the UK and we have two snuggle up to France a bit more. She is being a | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
bit anti-American. She has an election coming up and the German | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
voter does not like Donald Trump. She is obviously telling them what | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
they want to hear. It will be interesting to see if she carries on | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
with this kind of anti-American rhetoric after being re-elected as | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Chancellor, if that is what happens. Do you remember when she offered to | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
shake hands with Donald Trump and he did not do it? No, he didn't. Very | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
pointed. Where is macron would not let go. There is a whole book to be | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
written about Donald Trump and his handshakes. I think essentially it's | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
a bit of a cheek. If I may. Permission granted. When it comes to | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
security, Germany does not pull its weight. When it comes to defence | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
spending, it's less than 1% of GDP and Donald Trump does have Germany | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
in his sights when he was accusing various countries of not fulfilling | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
their commitments for Nato. The other thing I would say is, that | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
when it comes to the UK, Theresa May went out of her way when she was | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
invoking Article 50 to say that she wanted a good security relationship | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
with the European Union and I think she meant it. She had said as Home | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Secretary that she thought it was an important part of the security plan | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
to be in the EU. Well, that might be a U-turn. I thought I would pointed | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
out. Angela Merkel is engaged in posturing the negotiations as well. | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
From a trade point of view, Britain is pretty important to Germany. I | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
think we are first or second as the largest market for goods. We have a | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
trade deficit of ?30 billion in goods with Germany, the equivalent | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
of about 1% of German GDP and I think there would be a lot of German | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
exporters of Audi cars and BMWs who really want to continue to trade | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
with us. I think they will. But this is right from John, posturing ahead | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
of the Federal elections before the 24th of September and also the | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
Brexit negotiations will be starting in June and I suspect that the EU is | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
ramping up the rhetoric, so to speak, before those negotiations | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
start. The great unanswered question is, did she finished that beer? We | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
suspect not. There was quite a lot of it. A whole litre. That's it for | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
the papers, John Andrews, always a treat to see you. Have a very good | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
bank holiday Monday -- John and Ruth. Coming up next, the Film | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Review. | :14:39. | :14:42. |
