:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:25.With me are the playwright and novelist Bonnie Greer

:00:26. > :00:50.We just want to bring you news on those honours. First of all... The

:00:51. > :00:59.police officer tragically murdered in Westminster, awarded a medal by

:01:00. > :01:10.the Queen, recognising actions that save lives. And awards going into

:01:11. > :01:16.the pensioner Bernard Kenny, went to the aid of murdered MP Jo Cox and

:01:17. > :01:24.the main who killed after the -- helped after the Tunisian attack.

:01:25. > :01:34.Billy Connolly, knighted, jury Walters becomes a dame. Sir Billy,

:01:35. > :01:36.CBE in 2003. Said he is pleased and a little bit embarrassed to be, a

:01:37. > :01:45.knight! No need to be embarrassed. We start with The i,

:01:46. > :01:51.which carries a large picture of the protests earlier today

:01:52. > :01:53.at Kensington Town Hall, reflecting on the increasing anger

:01:54. > :01:56.among residents and those affected The Mirror contrasts the separate

:01:57. > :02:03.visits to the scene today by the Queen, who met survivors

:02:04. > :02:05.and volunteers at a makeshift shelter, and the Prime Minister

:02:06. > :02:08.who made a private visit The Daily Mail also features

:02:09. > :02:16.a picture of the moment today when demonstrators made their way

:02:17. > :02:19.in to council offices to demand answers, with the paper noting

:02:20. > :02:21.many protesters called The Times says the Prime Minister

:02:22. > :02:31.had to take cover as she was jeered and called a coward as she left one

:02:32. > :02:34.of the churches co-ordinating The Daily Telegraph claims

:02:35. > :02:41.the protests today had been organised and co-ordinated by left

:02:42. > :02:44.wing militant groups and that the man who led

:02:45. > :02:46.the demonstration had once been arrested, and released without

:02:47. > :02:51.charge, for terrorism offences. The Sun echoes claims by protestors

:02:52. > :02:54.and those caught up in the tragedy, that the victims were murdered

:02:55. > :03:09.and that the council had The Guardian said those calling for

:03:10. > :03:22.potential to offer guarantees to people made homeless, would be

:03:23. > :03:25.rehoused. And fire safety experts want the cladding used at Grenfell

:03:26. > :03:39.Tower to be banned. The Mirror... Four Theresa May,

:03:40. > :03:50.brutal reading? We have both talked. Just two stories. Each of them,

:03:51. > :03:57.cover them except one. One of the stories, the Prime Minister. I am

:03:58. > :04:02.not a judge of a person's character, but the demeanour, and appearance,

:04:03. > :04:10.less than required. People are asking serious questions about her

:04:11. > :04:18.empathy. Can she actually do this job? It takes just a teeny bit of

:04:19. > :04:26.humanity, as the Queen exhibited, to actually talk to people. She is bent

:04:27. > :04:32.in. Talking to people. Somebody coming out of the Paris knows how to

:04:33. > :04:42.talk to people. And the Prime Minister was being held back. The

:04:43. > :04:50.human question, why? What is she doing? It is a political crisis that

:04:51. > :04:55.could end her career. It seems as though she is struggling with every

:04:56. > :05:02.single aspect of her role, trying to get the former government and

:05:03. > :05:10.knowing what is going to be said in the Queen's speech. She does lack

:05:11. > :05:17.that ability to talk to people, look at ease in situations that we

:05:18. > :05:23.require politicians. Would it have made a difference that she had gone

:05:24. > :05:30.to the scene quicker? After news had emerged? Certainly. We have got

:05:31. > :05:34.different expectations of what politicians should do, and we want

:05:35. > :05:42.them to demonstrate how much they care. That is the point. A new age.

:05:43. > :05:47.You have got to be faster, respond, and with social media people are

:05:48. > :05:51.talking to each other. Politicians have often said they do not want to

:05:52. > :06:02.get in the way of emergency services. The Queen just walked into

:06:03. > :06:06.this situation, does the job. Great juxtaposition of how the pictures

:06:07. > :06:16.can tell the story. Does this represent the politics eyes --

:06:17. > :06:23.politics of the disaster? It has already been about the politics,

:06:24. > :06:29.because of the decisions made, about renovating the spot. It was a series

:06:30. > :06:38.of decisions that are now being called into question. Rightly,

:06:39. > :06:45.called in question? It is political. This is social housing. Related by

:06:46. > :06:55.the Council for people. It is political. If you can use the world

:06:56. > :07:00.existential, the people are deciding what destiny is going to be, shaping

:07:01. > :07:06.it, as fast as possible. This political party, the Prime Minister,

:07:07. > :07:13.not moving fast enough to address this. Another front page. Along

:07:14. > :07:21.similar lines. The Times. May takes cover. Again, from her point of

:07:22. > :07:28.view, brutal reading. Advisers will be dismayed. She is the Prime

:07:29. > :07:32.Minister. She used to be the Home Secretary. I understand that she

:07:33. > :07:39.needs security. At the opening gesture, it should have been that I

:07:40. > :07:47.need to go there. Get me there. She went today. Promised ?5 million.

:07:48. > :07:53.That seems to have been rushed aside. The story has got momentum.

:07:54. > :07:59.It seems as though nobody in government seems to be able to get a

:08:00. > :08:03.grip. Not even the ministers, talking about the enquiries, the

:08:04. > :08:14.nature of that cladding. But it seems as though it is a great storm,

:08:15. > :08:18.around this. Paralysis. One of the ladies from the gathering, when she

:08:19. > :08:23.was told that the Prime Minister had come up with this 5 million. She

:08:24. > :08:27.said I do not want the money, I want her to explain to me what is going

:08:28. > :08:35.on. If you can imagine these people... Going to be in shock, and

:08:36. > :08:41.trying to find loved ones, no homes. This is just basic human stuff. The

:08:42. > :08:49.Prime Minister does not seem able to deal with that. Interesting, this

:08:50. > :08:57.irony. The man who unified Germany, died. He knew how to bring unity.

:08:58. > :09:02.The juxtaposition of this, interesting. Theresa May has talked

:09:03. > :09:09.about representing every community. We can move to the Telegraph.

:09:10. > :09:12.Looking at this from a different perspective. Some of the

:09:13. > :09:20.demonstrations, particularly Kensington town Hall, stormed...

:09:21. > :09:31.Militants, they said, hijacking the protest. This is not the front page

:09:32. > :09:37.story. The Sun and Mail, no friends of Labour, Corbyn... It is about the

:09:38. > :09:43.rage of the people. The Telegraph is leading with rumours. This about

:09:44. > :09:48.Jeremy Corbyn, at the bottom, this is what should be inside the

:09:49. > :09:53.newspaper. It gives something authenticity if it is on the front

:09:54. > :09:59.page of a newspaper. It is social media rumours. I like a newspaper to

:10:00. > :10:06.tell me what has happened first, then possibly say there were people

:10:07. > :10:11.who were using this for political ends. But I want to know what is

:10:12. > :10:23.happening, what people are talking about. Why has the Daily Telegraph

:10:24. > :10:33.done this? The i... This same sort. I was there yesterday. You could

:10:34. > :10:38.sense the mood. Yesterday, that grief turned to anger. Today, more

:10:39. > :10:46.so. What about Jeremy Corbyn's handling. He has been applauded,

:10:47. > :10:52.even by critics. Jeremy Corbyn, the Queen, Prince William, have done

:10:53. > :10:58.human things. And the mayor. Just go in there. Just see what is going on.

:10:59. > :11:04.Nobody knows what is happening, but address people, hold hands, talk to

:11:05. > :11:13.them. Do you think the Prime Minister was worried that she would

:11:14. > :11:17.be jeered? The Queen was shouted at. Prince William. Jeremy Corbyn. This

:11:18. > :11:24.is the political leader of the country. If she cannot take people

:11:25. > :11:29.shouting at her, in the wrong job. I am hoping this is going to be the

:11:30. > :11:34.construction disaster that gets this country thinking about the quality

:11:35. > :11:38.of what we build, renovating existing buildings and that really

:11:39. > :11:43.lessons from this disaster. You always hear we will learn,

:11:44. > :11:50.recommendations that sometimes get implemented. Sometimes get lost.

:11:51. > :11:57.What this cladding on the exterior of the building had caused problems.

:11:58. > :12:03.Other countries do not have it. Let's learn from this, for once.

:12:04. > :12:07.That is one of the things that the protesters have said. We want

:12:08. > :12:13.answers. But enquiries can take time, really thorough. That is going

:12:14. > :12:22.to take time. This catastrophe has been a huge national metaphor. I was

:12:23. > :12:29.once a resident of Kensington and Chelsea. The richest borough. 1.4

:12:30. > :12:35.million average. And you get the story about this estate. How it

:12:36. > :12:40.happened. We saw this on television. It comes together. A big moment. The

:12:41. > :12:46.political leaders need to understand. People have had enough!

:12:47. > :13:01.And all of these newspapers, reflecting anger. Sun, no different.

:13:02. > :13:09.Murder! And our banner, from the protesters. -- a banner. Just

:13:10. > :13:16.reiterating the minimal savings, made by using this cladding. 5000,

:13:17. > :13:21.6000. It is how this was managed that seems to have galvanised

:13:22. > :13:25.opinion. It is different for anybody to be able to talk about anything

:13:26. > :13:32.other than this at the moment. We are going to show you some of the

:13:33. > :13:41.other front pages. Inferno. Anger erupts. The protest is, storming the

:13:42. > :13:49.town hall, and going past Downing Street. The Guardian, similar.

:13:50. > :13:56.Grenfell Tower fury on the streets. And one of our story. All of the

:13:57. > :14:05.broadsheets and tabloids, united. It is not often you get the newspapers

:14:06. > :14:08.doing this. Got the same music. And what is going to be said next

:14:09. > :14:15.Monday, when we start to discuss Brexit? Before the Queen's speech.

:14:16. > :14:23.That is what should be dominating the news. The Financial Times also

:14:24. > :14:33.have one of our story. Amazon on Whole Foods. Extraordinary.

:14:34. > :14:41.Purchasing this market grocer. A pay cheque. That is how much it costs to

:14:42. > :14:52.use this place. Amazon into physical stores. Moving into a sector that

:14:53. > :14:59.they do not dominate. Stores are dying in the US. Malls are ghost

:15:00. > :15:02.towns. That is what this is about and that this won't is going to

:15:03. > :15:09.happen here. We are not going into shops. Going to be keeping those

:15:10. > :15:17.open, but are not distributing outlet for services. Does that worry

:15:18. > :15:27.you? I think it should worry us all, but it is the financial might of

:15:28. > :15:30.Amazon, the deal-making. Retail lives are changing. It is going to

:15:31. > :15:36.affect jobs and communities, depending on these. Owing to be

:15:37. > :15:46.gone. And it is not afraid to go upmarket. We have all got to grocery

:15:47. > :15:53.shopping! Go rear out of time. Thank you. It was lovely have you in the

:15:54. > :16:03.studio. You can see the front pages online, on the website. And if you

:16:04. > :16:12.have missed the programme, you can watch that on the iPlayer. Thank

:16:13. > :16:15.you. Good night.
