:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:25.With me are the political commentator, James Millar

:00:26. > :00:32.a counter-terrorism chief refuses to confirm whether the attackers

:00:33. > :00:35.were were already known to the police or intelligence services.

:00:36. > :00:38.The FT focuses on Theresa May's plans to review existing police

:00:39. > :00:40.and security powers, increase pressure on tech companies

:00:41. > :00:42.and introduce tougher anti-terror laws.

:00:43. > :00:45.The Telegraph claims counter-terrorism officers have been

:00:46. > :00:49.monitoring an alleged extremist cell in Barking since March and secretly

:00:50. > :00:54.recorded individuals plotting a van and knife attack in London.

:00:55. > :00:58.Quoting Mrs May's phrase that "Enough is Enough",

:00:59. > :01:01.the Express vows to support the Prime Minister's plans

:01:02. > :01:03.for what it calls "tougher action on terrorists".

:01:04. > :01:06.The Mail also leads with that quote from Mrs May, adding that

:01:07. > :01:09.all of Britain was echoing her sentiments.

:01:10. > :01:12.The Mirror leads with the heroes of last night.

:01:13. > :01:16.It said policeman and members of the public fought off

:01:17. > :01:19.the attackers with batons, chairs, glasses and their bare hands.

:01:20. > :01:22.Police fired an "unprecedented" 50 bullets at the attackers to bring

:01:23. > :01:24.them down within eight minutes, the Metro says.

:01:25. > :01:34.And the i calls the police and public response "defiant"

:01:35. > :01:46.The quote, "Enough is enough", on the front page is quite few

:01:47. > :01:51.newspapers, including the FT and she vows of war on extremism but there

:01:52. > :01:58.is no clarity on what that really means? The Financial Times says Mrs

:01:59. > :02:06.May's responds marked a sharp escalation in rhetoric and actually

:02:07. > :02:11.that is all anybody can do. We all agree enough is enough and something

:02:12. > :02:19.has to be done but the question for Mrs May or for any politician is

:02:20. > :02:22.what can you do? There are questions about what police knew, what

:02:23. > :02:31.security services new but what can you do? We know young men sent to

:02:32. > :02:36.prison are quite often coming out radicalised when they did not go in

:02:37. > :02:42.radicalised so increasing jail terms does not seem like quite a good

:02:43. > :02:48.idea... Before anybody climbs all over that,, that does not mean that

:02:49. > :02:52.they should not be sent to prison. No, of course not, but there are

:02:53. > :03:07.things like whether we go back to control orders, which we had now we

:03:08. > :03:12.have the prevention of. ... The exclusion orders on people who have

:03:13. > :03:19.been abroad and come back. What the public will probably find unsettling

:03:20. > :03:24.is that in this attack and the attack in Manchester two weeks ago,

:03:25. > :03:34.people claimed to have reported their neighbours all the

:03:35. > :03:42.perpetrators. We do not know. -- or. I think there has to be a bit of a

:03:43. > :03:50.PR exercise to save we are following these but look at the scale. The

:03:51. > :03:54.police, the authorities, contrary to what American media believe happens

:03:55. > :03:58.in our country, we do go along with what they ask but do not report

:03:59. > :04:04.everything because it could compromise the investigation. We saw

:04:05. > :04:08.the aftermath of the Manchester attack, the Americans willing to

:04:09. > :04:21.share everything was only when they should not have done. The FT story,

:04:22. > :04:29.Donald Trump talking of rhetoric... Said he criticised the Mayor of

:04:30. > :04:36.London for sane people not to be worried. It took that out of context

:04:37. > :04:51.saying that Sadiq Khan said people should not be alarmed. I'd should

:04:52. > :04:56.could drop shot for calling the US President what you did. You know I

:04:57. > :05:05.have a job to do. The Guardian, again the quote from Theresa May,

:05:06. > :05:10."Enough is enough". A few things to discuss, notably the photograph

:05:11. > :05:18.appearing on a few front pages. But arresting, no pun intended, not the

:05:19. > :05:24.kind of thing that we are used to seeing but the other story on the

:05:25. > :05:29.front page, Labour attacks PM for presiding over cuts to police. We

:05:30. > :05:36.are now on to Monday so the election campaign is officially back on. A

:05:37. > :05:39.slightly odd one. The Guardian says critics have accused the Prime

:05:40. > :05:49.Minister of politicising the atrocity and the next paragraph

:05:50. > :05:52.Jeremy Corbyn saying may implemented 20,000 police cards. There are

:05:53. > :05:58.questions to be answered about police cuts but two were those cuts

:05:59. > :06:06.have fallen and how much they would have impacted on this because anti-

:06:07. > :06:14.terror police are quite well off. Of course if you do not have bobbies on

:06:15. > :06:23.the beat to spot the first signs then... We have not had bobbies on

:06:24. > :06:27.the beat for quite a long time. You can always have more resources but

:06:28. > :06:31.resources going into this sort of terrorism has to be much more

:06:32. > :06:37.Internet based. It is not necessarily about walking the

:06:38. > :06:41.street. I am sure it is a mixture of both. But it is about listening and

:06:42. > :06:48.infiltrating an interesting that Jeremy Corbyn to the campaign last

:06:49. > :06:53.night, Sunday night. Nobody should be making political capital out of

:06:54. > :06:58.these but we are three days away from an election. It raises this

:06:59. > :07:06.question of suspending the campaign. After Manchester it was suspended

:07:07. > :07:11.for four days. This time 24 hours. Ukip did not observe that

:07:12. > :07:21.suspension. Was it the right decision? It is hard to say. But

:07:22. > :07:25.there is an election this week so you cannot suspend campaign. In the

:07:26. > :07:39.Telegraph, YouTube link to the terror attack. Officers recorded a

:07:40. > :07:47.cell talking about how to use a fan to attack London. Basically similar

:07:48. > :07:52.to the same thing that happened on Saturday. Is it the same plot? A

:07:53. > :07:57.year not entirely sure. It is not cover where you chip 15 but it fits

:07:58. > :08:01.into the idea that the Prime Minister has put out that the

:08:02. > :08:08.Internet has to be policed and clamped down. Sites like YouTube

:08:09. > :08:17.need to be more if. You get into the argument of what is free speech,

:08:18. > :08:22.what is hate speech? Absolutely. She raised it at the G7 and there are

:08:23. > :08:29.people within the industry beginning to address it but it is impossible

:08:30. > :08:36.to police. It is a monster that is created because it just keeps

:08:37. > :08:43.growing and whatever you do to police, there is a dark Web where

:08:44. > :08:47.people can find things. People will talk about free speech and

:08:48. > :08:52.censorship. What you have to do is somehow or rather get to these

:08:53. > :08:58.people who are not representative of Islam or any religion or political

:08:59. > :09:04.cause, they are people who are incredibly disturbed and intent on

:09:05. > :09:11.evil. Yet to be careful of focusing on the Internet too much. I do

:09:12. > :09:19.journalists so I am cynical about what goes on on the Internet. The

:09:20. > :09:25.has to be some sort of human interaction as well. Yes,

:09:26. > :09:32.persuading... It is easy to bleed into the Internet when there are

:09:33. > :09:39.other parts of the puzzle. This is the picture of the two attackers

:09:40. > :09:46.when... Assuming at this point that have been shot by police who arrived

:09:47. > :09:54.so incredibly quickly, and we then eight minute they were dead. For the

:09:55. > :09:56.people involved those eight minutes must have felt like hours and hours

:09:57. > :10:00.but it is incredible because we know but it is incredible because we know

:10:01. > :10:03.there are more armed police on the street and visible but they are also

:10:04. > :10:08.working on the periphery but to come and to deal with it like that and,

:10:09. > :10:12.as we know now, these were fake suicide bombs before the officers

:10:13. > :10:19.involved they must have thought they were really charged. The venture has

:10:20. > :10:23.a close-up version of that same photograph. Police fire 50 bullets

:10:24. > :10:29.which is set to be unprecedented to cut short the terror rampage. You'll

:10:30. > :10:34.be skidding about the use of a photograph like that? It is The

:10:35. > :10:40.Metro, a free paper all over buses and trains in London and lots of

:10:41. > :10:47.people, including children, will see it. It also gives the attention

:10:48. > :10:53.profile, often with the sort of attacks they are carried out to

:10:54. > :10:57.achieve a profile. The comparison is high school shootings in America

:10:58. > :11:02.where there was a spate of them because every time what happened,

:11:03. > :11:08.the person who did it, invariably male, was put on the front pageant

:11:09. > :11:14.sometime he became an outlaw, an era to people simile disturbed and they

:11:15. > :11:24.saw they could get their own five minutes. The media looked at how

:11:25. > :11:30.that my have been responsible for some of those attacks and pull back

:11:31. > :11:35.on the coverage. Last night, there were people on social media saying

:11:36. > :11:40.why are you giving these people are the oxygen of publicity but we have

:11:41. > :11:46.to report the story. Nothing will go on the BBC radio or television

:11:47. > :11:53.without being weighed up and conceded. Hopefully. Broadcasting is

:11:54. > :11:59.much more regulated than newspapers. The problem I think comes back to

:12:00. > :12:04.the free-speech and the Internet, is that people who are taking these

:12:05. > :12:12.photographs - we do not know if they are from professional journalists

:12:13. > :12:17.all of the public - but editors sometimes not as strict as they used

:12:18. > :12:23.to be in saying, actually, we're not going to publish that just because

:12:24. > :12:28.it is all over social media does not make it acceptable for our readers.

:12:29. > :12:35.I completely agree with James. It is a free paper. In the corner, a

:12:36. > :12:47.picture of Ariana Grande, a joyful reaction to this, why not put a

:12:48. > :12:54.picture of her on the front. an bully can she seemed. I heard her

:12:55. > :13:06.singing somewhere over the rainbow, which was amazing. I am familiar

:13:07. > :13:09.because I have a young daughter. The Daily Star, no trouble with this

:13:10. > :13:18.front page. This is a photograph that is a very

:13:19. > :13:29.good photojournalistic front-page. It has real people, it has the

:13:30. > :13:34.journalist, Jeff Ho and Gerard, who have become celebrities really,

:13:35. > :13:39.three girls at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester and then the

:13:40. > :13:44.emergency services that do all this stuff all the time and keep doing

:13:45. > :13:52.all a brilliant job. There's all sorts of words that get bandied

:13:53. > :13:57.around, nobody ever uses the word cowed except after a terrorist

:13:58. > :14:00.attack, heroes could also be applied, these people, the

:14:01. > :14:04.ambulance, the police, they are genuine heroes, they ran to war

:14:05. > :14:11.space... While telling everyone else to runaway. -- towards this. There

:14:12. > :14:18.are stories who were caught up in this, the eight minutes must have

:14:19. > :14:21.felt like Florida, waiters, waitresses, bar staff, customers,

:14:22. > :14:33.people instinctively to do the right thing -- felt like for ever.

:14:34. > :14:39.Amazing. The Daily Express, exclusive picture of the attackers

:14:40. > :14:44.walking through Borough Market. Presuming this is after they abandon

:14:45. > :14:49.the van. Then they are in Borough Market. They are walking calmly.

:14:50. > :14:53.They aren't running. They looked like three blokes walking along the

:14:54. > :15:00.road and from the earlier eyewitness reports, after having jumped out of

:15:01. > :15:03.the van... It is the Express who will support the Prime Minister on

:15:04. > :15:08.her tougher action on terrorists, whatever that might mean. Will

:15:09. > :15:11.strangely one of the interesting words here is the van mounted the

:15:12. > :15:16.pavement, that is the kind of thing that will be thought about at the

:15:17. > :15:20.very bottom level of this, raising pavements, how do you change the

:15:21. > :15:25.street verges so you can't get a van onto the pavement to run people over

:15:26. > :15:30.and hopefully the action will spread up to Prevent and what happens in

:15:31. > :15:35.government. We've already seen it in Westminster long before this with

:15:36. > :15:41.the cordons and the much stricter access in Downing Street. I'm sure

:15:42. > :15:46.they're thinking about that already. How do you protect every road? All

:15:47. > :15:51.of the arteries across the river, it is such a difficult job. It's not

:15:52. > :15:59.just London, as we know, from Manchester, or Paris, or Nice.

:16:00. > :16:02.Munich, everywhere! Let's have a look at the i, finally, another

:16:03. > :16:08.pictures pictures of these armed police officers, and a dog, coming

:16:09. > :16:12.down the escalators, so incredibly heavily armed. Like something out of

:16:13. > :16:17.a movie, it really is, will we aren't used to seeing that in this

:16:18. > :16:22.country thankfully. Defiant is the word, it has been used quite a lot

:16:23. > :16:27.this weekend. It has. On the front page also pictures of the young

:16:28. > :16:31.girls at the concert in Manchester, they are equally defiant as the guys

:16:32. > :16:34.in the main picture because they made a choice, they were caught up

:16:35. > :16:40.in something horrific and they made a choice to go out and go to a

:16:41. > :16:44.concert and they won't be cowed. A concert that would normally take

:16:45. > :16:49.months to prepare. It is extraordinary. All of those stars

:16:50. > :16:53.who cleared their diaries and made sure they were there. It is great.

:16:54. > :16:59.These are predominantly younger else, young people who will have

:17:00. > :17:03.been incredibly upset and affected by everything that happened

:17:04. > :17:10.understandably and I think that this... For them it will be part of

:17:11. > :17:14.the healing process to use that term, but that is more important

:17:15. > :17:19.than defiance. It is going back to... It is the power of pop music,

:17:20. > :17:24.which is nonsense most of the time, but for these girls it means

:17:25. > :17:30.something to them and it helps them. Pop music's Craik. Ariana Grande,

:17:31. > :17:36.23. She is a great moral model! -- pop music's great. That's it for the

:17:37. > :17:39.papers. Don't go anywhere. Don't forget all the front pages are

:17:40. > :17:44.online at the website where you can read a detailed review of the

:17:45. > :17:49.papers, there seven days a week. We are there as well. Each night's

:17:50. > :17:54.edition is posted shortly after we finish and of course it is on

:17:55. > :17:57.iPlayer. Thank you very much, nice to see you.
