Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
With me are the playwright and novelist Bonnie Greer | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
We just want to bring you news on those honours. First of all... The | :00:26. | :00:50. | |
police officer tragically murdered in Westminster, awarded a medal by | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
the Queen, recognising actions that save lives. And awards going into | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
the pensioner Bernard Kenny, went to the aid of murdered MP Jo Cox and | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
the main who killed after the -- helped after the Tunisian attack. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
Billy Connolly, knighted, jury Walters becomes a dame. Sir Billy, | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
CBE in 2003. Said he is pleased and a little bit embarrassed to be, a | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
knight! No need to be embarrassed. We start with The i, | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
which carries a large picture of the protests earlier today | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
at Kensington Town Hall, reflecting on the increasing anger | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
among residents and those affected The Mirror contrasts the separate | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
visits to the scene today by the Queen, who met survivors | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
and volunteers at a makeshift shelter, and the Prime Minister | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
who made a private visit The Daily Mail also features | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
a picture of the moment today when demonstrators made their way | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
in to council offices to demand answers, with the paper noting | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
many protesters called The Times says the Prime Minister | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
had to take cover as she was jeered and called a coward as she left one | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
of the churches co-ordinating The Daily Telegraph claims | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
the protests today had been organised and co-ordinated by left | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
wing militant groups and that the man who led | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
the demonstration had once been arrested, and released without | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
charge, for terrorism offences. The Sun echoes claims by protestors | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
and those caught up in the tragedy, that the victims were murdered | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
and that the council had The Guardian said those calling for | :02:55. | :03:09. | |
potential to offer guarantees to people made homeless, would be | :03:10. | :03:22. | |
rehoused. And fire safety experts want the cladding used at Grenfell | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Tower to be banned. The Mirror... Four Theresa May, | :03:26. | :03:39. | |
brutal reading? We have both talked. Just two stories. Each of them, | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
cover them except one. One of the stories, the Prime Minister. I am | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
not a judge of a person's character, but the demeanour, and appearance, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
less than required. People are asking serious questions about her | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
empathy. Can she actually do this job? It takes just a teeny bit of | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
humanity, as the Queen exhibited, to actually talk to people. She is bent | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
in. Talking to people. Somebody coming out of the Paris knows how to | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
talk to people. And the Prime Minister was being held back. The | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
human question, why? What is she doing? It is a political crisis that | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
could end her career. It seems as though she is struggling with every | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
single aspect of her role, trying to get the former government and | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
knowing what is going to be said in the Queen's speech. She does lack | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
that ability to talk to people, look at ease in situations that we | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
require politicians. Would it have made a difference that she had gone | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
to the scene quicker? After news had emerged? Certainly. We have got | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
different expectations of what politicians should do, and we want | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
them to demonstrate how much they care. That is the point. A new age. | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
You have got to be faster, respond, and with social media people are | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
talking to each other. Politicians have often said they do not want to | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
get in the way of emergency services. The Queen just walked into | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
this situation, does the job. Great juxtaposition of how the pictures | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
can tell the story. Does this represent the politics eyes -- | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
politics of the disaster? It has already been about the politics, | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
because of the decisions made, about renovating the spot. It was a series | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
of decisions that are now being called into question. Rightly, | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
called in question? It is political. This is social housing. Related by | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
the Council for people. It is political. If you can use the world | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
existential, the people are deciding what destiny is going to be, shaping | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
it, as fast as possible. This political party, the Prime Minister, | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
not moving fast enough to address this. Another front page. Along | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
similar lines. The Times. May takes cover. Again, from her point of | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
view, brutal reading. Advisers will be dismayed. She is the Prime | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
Minister. She used to be the Home Secretary. I understand that she | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
needs security. At the opening gesture, it should have been that I | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
need to go there. Get me there. She went today. Promised ?5 million. | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
That seems to have been rushed aside. The story has got momentum. | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
It seems as though nobody in government seems to be able to get a | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
grip. Not even the ministers, talking about the enquiries, the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
nature of that cladding. But it seems as though it is a great storm, | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
around this. Paralysis. One of the ladies from the gathering, when she | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
was told that the Prime Minister had come up with this 5 million. She | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
said I do not want the money, I want her to explain to me what is going | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
on. If you can imagine these people... Going to be in shock, and | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
trying to find loved ones, no homes. This is just basic human stuff. The | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Prime Minister does not seem able to deal with that. Interesting, this | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
irony. The man who unified Germany, died. He knew how to bring unity. | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
The juxtaposition of this, interesting. Theresa May has talked | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
about representing every community. We can move to the Telegraph. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
Looking at this from a different perspective. Some of the | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
demonstrations, particularly Kensington town Hall, stormed... | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
Militants, they said, hijacking the protest. This is not the front page | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
story. The Sun and Mail, no friends of Labour, Corbyn... It is about the | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
rage of the people. The Telegraph is leading with rumours. This about | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Jeremy Corbyn, at the bottom, this is what should be inside the | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
newspaper. It gives something authenticity if it is on the front | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
page of a newspaper. It is social media rumours. I like a newspaper to | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
tell me what has happened first, then possibly say there were people | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
who were using this for political ends. But I want to know what is | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
happening, what people are talking about. Why has the Daily Telegraph | :10:12. | :10:23. | |
done this? The i... This same sort. I was there yesterday. You could | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
sense the mood. Yesterday, that grief turned to anger. Today, more | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
so. What about Jeremy Corbyn's handling. He has been applauded, | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
even by critics. Jeremy Corbyn, the Queen, Prince William, have done | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
human things. And the mayor. Just go in there. Just see what is going on. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
Nobody knows what is happening, but address people, hold hands, talk to | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
them. Do you think the Prime Minister was worried that she would | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
be jeered? The Queen was shouted at. Prince William. Jeremy Corbyn. This | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
is the political leader of the country. If she cannot take people | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
shouting at her, in the wrong job. I am hoping this is going to be the | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
construction disaster that gets this country thinking about the quality | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
of what we build, renovating existing buildings and that really | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
lessons from this disaster. You always hear we will learn, | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
recommendations that sometimes get implemented. Sometimes get lost. | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
What this cladding on the exterior of the building had caused problems. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
Other countries do not have it. Let's learn from this, for once. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
That is one of the things that the protesters have said. We want | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
answers. But enquiries can take time, really thorough. That is going | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
to take time. This catastrophe has been a huge national metaphor. I was | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
once a resident of Kensington and Chelsea. The richest borough. 1.4 | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
million average. And you get the story about this estate. How it | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
happened. We saw this on television. It comes together. A big moment. The | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
political leaders need to understand. People have had enough! | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
And all of these newspapers, reflecting anger. Sun, no different. | :12:47. | :13:01. | |
Murder! And our banner, from the protesters. -- a banner. Just | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
reiterating the minimal savings, made by using this cladding. 5000, | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
6000. It is how this was managed that seems to have galvanised | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
opinion. It is different for anybody to be able to talk about anything | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
other than this at the moment. We are going to show you some of the | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
other front pages. Inferno. Anger erupts. The protest is, storming the | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
town hall, and going past Downing Street. The Guardian, similar. | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
Grenfell Tower fury on the streets. And one of our story. All of the | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
broadsheets and tabloids, united. It is not often you get the newspapers | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
doing this. Got the same music. And what is going to be said next | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
Monday, when we start to discuss Brexit? Before the Queen's speech. | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
That is what should be dominating the news. The Financial Times also | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
have one of our story. Amazon on Whole Foods. Extraordinary. | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
Purchasing this market grocer. A pay cheque. That is how much it costs to | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
use this place. Amazon into physical stores. Moving into a sector that | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
they do not dominate. Stores are dying in the US. Malls are ghost | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
towns. That is what this is about and that this won't is going to | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
happen here. We are not going into shops. Going to be keeping those | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
open, but are not distributing outlet for services. Does that worry | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
you? I think it should worry us all, but it is the financial might of | :15:18. | :15:27. | |
Amazon, the deal-making. Retail lives are changing. It is going to | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
affect jobs and communities, depending on these. Owing to be | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
gone. And it is not afraid to go upmarket. We have all got to grocery | :15:37. | :15:46. | |
shopping! Go rear out of time. Thank you. It was lovely have you in the | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
studio. You can see the front pages online, on the website. And if you | :15:54. | :16:03. | |
have missed the programme, you can watch that on the iPlayer. Thank | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
you. Good night. | :16:13. | :16:15. |
