revealed the London Bridge attackers tried to hire a 7.5 ton lorry to | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
carry out the attack, but the payment was declined. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
It will be extended compared to usual. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
With me are Jack Blanchard, political editor of the Mirror | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
and Caroline Wheeler, political editor of the Sunday | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
The Observer says May's Premiership is in peril. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
The paper leads with its editorial comment saying Mrs May | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
is discredited, humiliated, and diminished. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
It says she is now weak, with rivals and opponents no | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The Daily Mail focusses on the Foreign Secretary Boris | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Johnson saying he is set to launch a bid to become Prime Minister. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
It also carries a picture of former Top Gear presenter, | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Richard Hammond, who was involved in a car crash during filming in | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The Telegraph says Theresa May may be in Downing Street but she has no | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
power after losing her majority in Parliament. | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
The paper says senior tories are jostling in an unofficial race | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
The Sunday Times claims as many as five cabinet ministers are urging | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
The Express leads with the resignation of Theresa May's two | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
closest advisers Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
It's headline refers to them as "toxic." | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
A great deal to discuss, mostly focusing on the Conservatives. We | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
will also mention Labour at some point. The Observer. Blocking the | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
DUP coalition. I wonder how or the DUP would have been on the | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
coalition. The experience the Lib Dems had in 2015, the formal | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
coalition running the country for five years, it was disastrous for | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
them. They were almost completely wiped out as a party. There is no | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
appetite to repeat that because of the impact it had among the major | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
parties. We now have a loose arrangement. The problem with that | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
is it is anything but strong and stable in the words of Theresa May. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
It is weekend wobbly. It could fall apart at any moment. -- weak and | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
wobbly. We don't know how much you will get through, not much, I | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
imagine. For some in the party that clearly think the DUP I'm not the | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
right bedfellows... Absolutely. Ruth Davidson broke ranks yesterday to | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
support she was very concerned about their stance on gay rights. That | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
started many others coming out. There is similar rhetoric about | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
women. Many have come out to speak vocally about fears of getting into | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
bed with the party whose track record on those issues is quite | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
concerning to them. They are antiabortion and also they have a | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
problem with gay marriage and issues like that. There is genuine concern | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
about this. That is aside from the overarching issue about the peace | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
process. Think about where we are at the moment. It is a very fragile | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
peace process. The current power-sharing arrangements and this | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
month. The government previously has been a neutral arbiter of the | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
process. If we get into one, it is shattered. Yes. They are supposed to | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
be neutral and sit above it all. It is easy to sit in London and forget | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
how fragile it is. But people involved in a process for 20 years | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
are coming out this weekend saying it is dangerous and stupid. Jonathan | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Powell, Tony Blair's Chief of Staff, he was central to making the peace | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
happen. This is a bad idea. You don't know where this goes further | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
down the track. The last thing we want is this peace process to fall | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
apart. Peter said the same thing in our newspaper. He talked about civil | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
servants intrinsically involved in the process raising fear and alarm | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
about the damage this could do to the process moving forward. There | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
are genuine concerns now it could be absolutely, in his words, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
calamitous. The DUP say they don't want a hard Brexit, because they | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
don't want a border between Northern Ireland and the republic. That might | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
prove to be some leverage they can apply with regards to Brexit which | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
would please a lot of people. They could do that in all sorts of | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
things, some might please people and others not. Now people in Northern | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
Ireland are wagging the dog of the entire country. It is what the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Conservatives have said Labour will do with Scotland. And then half an | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
hour on a Friday morning, let us do that. Reckless. They are not | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
thinking about the implications for the peace process and what it will | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
look like. Professor John Curtice, who never seems to be wrong about | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
this, he called it right away. He said that is where she could go to | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
for support. UKIP... I mean, in politics, don't you sometimes have | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
to make allegiances were you never expected to? They're restricting | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
that. But the Conservatives have been running a seven-week campaign | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
about that. Four hours later, they are doing exactly what they said | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
they would not do. It is hypocrisy. They would argue it is an | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
arrangement which has been informal for some time. You often find the | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
DUP go behind the Conservatives on lots of things. The difference if it | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
is a very cynical bid to shore up her own power base and majority. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
That is what people are taking exception to as opposed to... I just | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
want to say, the DUP saw off the Ulster Unionist Party. Exactly. | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
There is only ten of them. It is enough to get her over the line just | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
if every one of her MPs it supports us. There might be ten DUP MPs. | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
There are 19 openly gay Tory MPs. They are furious to see their leader | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
jumping into bed with this very anti-gay rights party. If they | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
decide to vote against Theresa May, the majority has gone straightaway. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
These concerns have been raised with her already, especially the LB GT | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
rights issue. I know she has had assurances, Ruth Davidson, that | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
those issues will not be on the table. But if you are in a situation | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
where you are desperate to shore up votes on a particular issue, for | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
example, a vote on a Brexit deal on the grand repeal bill, for example, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
how far would she go to guarantee she gets that through the house if | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
it became a confidence issue? It became about her leadership again? | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
She would do pretty much anything, I would imagine, to get that through. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
They use the expression jump on the bed so many times. We need a | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
different phrase for it. -- jump into. Via The Observer. She has no | :07:53. | :08:08. | |
mandate. It is up to negotiation. I had an interview on Friday with | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
David Davis. He said this is all about Brexit and she wanted to | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
strengthen her hand with this election. How many votes does she | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
need to claim she has the mandate for what happens next? He said to me | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
a majority of one was enough. Of course, she does not have a majority | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
of one. There are serious question marks about whether she has a | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
mandate. Having said that, lots of people are saying this is academic, | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
that she went to the polls for different reasons and used Brexit as | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
the general excuse for doing it. There are other things a play. The | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
threat from Scotland. The expenses scandal that was nipping her toes. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
It will be tough for her to get through the kind of Brexit she has | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
wanted to pursue and said she would. I know Whitehall insiders, lots of | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
them have said they are literally ripping up the plans they had made. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
They are saying those plans are pretty much dead in the water. We | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
have not heard much about it, happily? They now realise they have | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
to make concessions. The most important bits, getting out of the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
custom union, it is hard. This is the first time in this election we | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
have had a chance to vote on what type of Brexit... Were they really | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
voting on that? Many people said it is the NHS and education and social | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
care. That is why they liked Jeremy Corbyn. There were people in the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
referendum voting on the NHS as well. How can you do sting which | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
these things? A party puts forward a manifesto... Distinguish Yarmouk -- | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
distinguish. It is the first time they have had a chance to vote on a | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
type of Brexit. Theresa May said this is why we are going to the | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
polls, specifically for support for Brexit and her planned. She did not | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
get it. It is hard to argue now that we will leave the EU in this way. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
She needs more of a consensus than the way she has tried to do it. What | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
has happened during the course of the day. The Sunday Telegraph. In | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
office and not in power. Fragile leadership. Her two chiefs have to | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
resign. Another bit of pressure added. The feeling is that senior | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
services thought Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill had too much say. Yes. It | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
was a settling of scores as well. It is hard to overstate how powerful | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
these two people were. They were running the country with Theresa May | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
almost exclusively. That upset other member is of the cabinet and Tory | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
party and people in Whitehall who felt they should have had more say | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
and could not get near the Prime Minister because these two people | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
were basically running the country. -- members. They could not wait to | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
wield the axe so to speak when the opportunity arose. It was not just | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
the election result. We were talking about how fragile the power base was | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
right from the moment the Tory manifesto was published three weeks | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
before polling day. People lapped onto the front pages of newspapers | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
about it. -- lept. MPs were taking this policy onto the doorstep. They | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
were finding it was absolutely monstered and savaged. Many said it | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
was going down like a bucket of cold sick among Conservatives voters. | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
Like the triple lock for example. They have been seen as culpable for | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
that. The Sunday Express, your paper, May's toxic aides resign. And | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
incomes Gavin Barwell, who lost his seat, finding himself with a good | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
job as Chief of Staff. -- in comes. Twice the money. They are not paying | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
to of them. They are saving money. Austerity is working. Yes. He is | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
reasonably popular among Tory MPs. They have been getting along well | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
over the past two years. It is seen as a conciliatory measure. You have | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
to understand these two aides were the life of the reason made. Along | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
with her husband. Now she is looking isolated. -- Theresa May. They were | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
her sounding board. Now that is taken away and she is left standing | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
alone. But Barwell is like. He will have to be a critical friend. He | :12:54. | :13:09. | |
dubbed Theresa the freezer. He said she left everyone out except for | :13:10. | :13:21. | |
those two. MPs are saying it is time to thaw and to stop that freezing | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
out of people, bringing them back into the tent. That is possibly what | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
this appointment signals. The other people we have heard from today have | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
said that. It is a brave decision she has made. She kept her powder | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
dry since leaving Downing Street, the former Director of | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
Communications, who broke cover to talk about her own experience of | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
working in Downing Street and how she felt, that they were very | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
dysfunctional, that they were not very inclusive, that they ruled | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
everything with an iron fist, that there was not much negotiation | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
discussion, and everything was rubberstamped and went through them | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
and that made life pretty umpires and for her and others. -- pretty | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
unpleasant. Ultimately they are AIDS, not the | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister? That's how they were | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
acting. Looking at the public, they will say while on you carrying the | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
can, you didn't win the vote on your leadership by the margin needed, you | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
need to be walking away, not sacking your advisers and blaming them. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
There are rumours Theresa May wanted to resign but was persuaded to stay. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Moving onto the Mail on Sunday, Boris is set to launch bid to BPM as | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
Theresa May clings on. His team is circling a wounded leader. That's | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
not a surprise that people, notably the Foreign Secretary, are thinking | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
about having a shot. Literally from when the exit poll came out we | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
started talking about Boris on manoeuvres. There was further | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
speculation when he came out and didn't say things supportive of | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Theresa May in the aftermath of the election results. The story | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
inevitably moves on whenever there's a wounded Prime Minister, it's a | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
sign there is a leadership contest brewing. Fires are starting. The one | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
thing we know about Boris is it in his DNA that he wants to be Prime | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Minister, there's no doubt that is the top job he wants and he's almost | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
willing to trample over anybody to get their. No, it's not a particular | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
surprise that this is the story featuring both in the mail and the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Sunday Times but what is a surprise is the idea he is set to launch it, | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
which suggests something imminent -- Mail. I don't know what your | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
soundings are like from MPs but certainly Conservative MPs, | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
especially the more critical ones, of Theresa May's premiership, are | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
quite clear this isn't the time to get rid of her and it would be | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
damaging for both country and party and would make the prospect of a | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
general election all the more likely, which of course they feared | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
desperately would lead to a Labour government. I'm going to put a cat | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
amongst the pigeons and change the order, we will do the times, the | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Mirror and then back to the Times. That's what we'll do -- Times. I | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
have missed something out. I'm supposed to be honest! We're doing | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
the Times next. That is also about Boris Johnson, we must call him by | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
his Paul Mayne, people get quite cross when we give him not his | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
nickname, just his first name -- full name. Five ministers urging | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
Boris to topple Theresa May. He has tweeted today that the Mail on | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
Sunday is tripe, I am backing Theresa May, let's get on with the | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
job so whether these ministers will persuade him? This won't take a lot | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
of persuading for him, this is about timing, when is the right time? How | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
will it look when he does go for it? There's suggestion that he might be | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
looking at having a stalking horse candidate, somebody else makes a | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
challenge to Theresa May's premiership first, someone who | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
doesn't think they will win but triggers the leadership contest so | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
the process gets under way, the MPs start to consider it, start to vote | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
and at that point Boris goes in and says, if you're having a leadership | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
contest, why don't I put my name in the hat and he romps to victory! | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
That's the most likely thing. Others will want to stop him, not everyone | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
will want him. There are other names like Amber Rudd and David Davis | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
particularly but I want to point out in Tim Shipman's excellent story, he | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
says although he has had these calls from these five Cabinet ministers | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
urging him to stand, he decided on Friday challenging May would | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
destabilise the government and catapulting Corbyn into Downing | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
Street and that's what the fear is, if you have a leadership contest you | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
make the possibility of a second general election more likely. I was | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
talking to a couple of Tory contacts today and there is genuine fear | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
among some of them that if there was another general election, which is | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
possible, this one hasn't created a result, they could lose and that's | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
the worst thing, losing to Jeremy Corbyn and having him in Number 10. | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
The Daily Mirror exclusive says we might not have to wait that long | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
according to Jeremy Corbyn. He thinks he could be Prime Minister | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
within days, that is what he has told my Sunday Mirror colleagues. He | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
is of the opinion that Theresa May is not going to be able to do this, | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
she has stitched together this coalition of crackpots as we | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
memorably dubbed it in the Mirror yesterday and is it really going to | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
hold? She's got a tiny majority in the Commons with the help of the | :18:53. | :19:02. | |
DUP. But the party is in turmoil. She's not going to be able to get | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
things through, can she get her Queen's speech through unamended | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Quanne a budget? Maybe, maybe not, it could fall apart quickly and the | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Leader of the Opposition is within his rights to try to form a | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
government. But he doesn't have the numbers either, he can say what he | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
likes to the Mirror, even with the support of the SNP and the Lib Dems | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
he doesn't have enough. He is waiting in the wings and snapping at | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
her heels and there's another revelation today he is already | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
putting together his alternative Queen's speech if there was an | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
opportunity for him to put his forward over the one now Theresa May | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
must literally be tearing up, the one they had prepared before, there | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
are huge question marks about her policy agenda, for example the | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
grammar school revolution, can she get that through, no, the DUP can't | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
vote on education reforms anyway because it is a devolved issue. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
There's huge question marks about some of those policies. The other | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
thing with Labour, suddenly the Conservative Party are taking Jeremy | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Corbyn seriously. So is the Parliamentary Labour Party! That's | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
absolutely true. So is the press, they have laughed at him and mocked | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
him, the Conservative Party were overjoyed he was the Labour leader, | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
they thought they would not him out of the park and suddenly it's not so | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
funny any more and suddenly they are seeing him as a genuine threat who | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
could genuinely be in Downing Street if another election happens or even | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
if it doesn't. Suddenly the dynamic has changed. One Labour MP told me | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
we are all Corbyn Easter is now. Something they weren't saying a few | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
days ago. There's a sense the party is going to pull behind him because | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
they can sense Tory blood, and they now think there's a realistic | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
opportunity they could form the next government whenever the next | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
opportunity arises. Labour is more united now than in a long time. | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Let's pull you away from this story. Do you want me to do the Sunday | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
Times? Charlie Hollis it up? It is connected to the Sunday Express | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
story we will do in a second -- shall I hold it up. Hospitals warn | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
they are terrorist targets. A week since the horrific attack in London | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
Bridge and Southwark killing eight. How do you protect public buildings? | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
Hospitals and other buildings are open, you just walk in. But you have | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
to do, people are using things like kitchen knives, vans and cars, | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
everyday things, you can't ban these things, you can't have armed guards | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
on the front doors of every building so I don't know how you protect | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
against it. The trick is in the end catching these people before they | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
act. Stopping the radicalisation as well, which is the real problem with | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
this happening online, not people meeting people on the streets all | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
going to see hate preachers but sitting in their bedrooms and seeing | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
this hate that mobilises them to commit these terrible atrocities. | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
Let's finish on a more positive note that has come out of those awful | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
events of last week because Geoff Ho, one of your colleagues, he has | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
been writing about his involvement in trying to stop these attackers? I | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
know I am biased but even if it weren't my particular paper I would | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
urge everyone to read Geoff's Tory. Geoff is a trusted colleague and a | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
good friend -- story. What he did this time last week was incredibly | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
brave. Now for the first time in his own words he has told the story of | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
what happened to him when he took on the three jihadists in a pub in | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Borough Market just moments after he intervened in another fight, | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
stepping in between a bouncer and some troublemakers as he describes | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
it in his own words, he made the fateful decision to follow up that | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
little altercation with a little snifter in another pub rather than | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
getting the train home. That fateful moment led him to walk into what... | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
It's just an unimaginable thing, I don't think many of us could imagine | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
what it would be like. The way he describes what happened, he | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
literally used his own body, his own skill, he is a martial arts expert, | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
to fend off these attackers. He took the decision very, very consciously | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
that the only way to stop a huge loss of life was to keep these guys | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
talking, to try to distract them, to play for time, to make sure, praying | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
the police were on their way, that they would do as little damage to | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
him as possible as he kept others hiding behind barstools and tables | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
safe. That's exactly what happened. He had his throat slashed. He was | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
very lucky to be alive. I work up to the news on Sunday morning he had | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
been very badly injured and was in intensive care -- I woke. We didn't | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
know his prospects but I'm really pleased to tell you he is sitting up | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
in bed, he is accepting visitors, there are queues outside the | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
hospital ward to see him, we are all struggling to see him. If he is | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
watching, best wishes to Geoff and speedy recovery. Thank you to the | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
gallery crew for following my front-page bingo. I love that shot | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
from over there! Use that again! Thank you, that's it for the papers | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
tonight. Don't forget you can see the front pages online at the BBC | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
News website and we have colleagues that tweet them on Twitter every | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
night. All of the papers are there seven days a week and all the | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
additions are posted there and on iPlayer if you missed them. Thank | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
you to Jack and Caroline. Time for the weather forecast next. Good | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
night. Good evening. Mateen always keeps us | :24:57. | :25:10. | |
on our toes and the weather does as well. Different day tomorrow | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
whatever you had today -- | :25:15. | :25:15. |
