18/06/2017 The Papers

Churchill in the drama about the wartime Prime Minister has been

praised by critics. Mark Kermode brings us his thoughts about this

and the other Cinema releases this week in The Film Review.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

Brian Cox the actor, not the astronomer, just work that out! --

work. -- worked. With me are Reuters Business

correspondent Tom Bergin and Kate Devlin, political

correspondent at the Herald. Tomorrow's front pages,

starting with... The front page of the Times

says that relief efforts at Grenfell Tower have

descended into chaos, with reports of survivors

being rehoused hundreds The Daily Mail has

a photograph of the inside of one of the flats in the tower,

which it says show the victims of the devastation the fire

caused on its front page. on the Conservative Party

leadership, reporting that David Davis is emerging as a unity

candidate to become interim party on the Brexit talks due

to start tomorrow, reporting that the Chancellor is urging

a focus on business. The Guardian reports that

European leaders fear the fragility of Theresa May's

government makes it more likely Britain could crash out

of the EU without a deal. The Independent also

looks at Brexit, and a report which suggests that

plans to cut immigration could have a double whammy

effect on the economy. confidence is high

as Brexit talks begin. Let's start with the Daily Mail, one

of a number of papers that tonight is showing a photograph from inside

the Grenfell tower after that devastating fire. Showing the sheer

scale of destruction. From this one you can see more, it was once a

person's home. All the internal walls have been destroyed, the

furniture has been burned to ashes. Truly shocking pictures and even

people like myself who have seen fatal fires elsewhere in the past,

these are unusual, the share for city of the flames. It raises the

question of what happened -- ferocity. The correspondent who

wrote this story in the Daily Mail is the chief crime correspondent,

there's the issue about the possible criminal investigation, it's a

mystery as to why this happened so quickly. Some ideas are being put

forward, I spent time this week trying to find out what happened and

what the rules are with respect to housing, if some of the panels that

have been reported were used in this tower, that could be why this

happened in this way. It will be interesting to see how much we get

on that as we move forward, the UK can take quite a while to establish

faxed. The Times, same story, fire victims left in the lurch by relief

effort problems. All sorts of issues, Kate. It does seem like it

has taken a long time to get where we are. Today people being offered

?10 to try to deal with even the day to day costs. This evening they are

going to get ?500 in cash and another ?5,000 payable into bank

accounts tomorrow. It seems like ministers at Number 10 are trying to

play catch up on this despite days of bad headlines about how badly

they have dealt with this situation. Specifically how badly Theresa May

has dealt with the situation. Also the council has come in for

criticism, the management company that was meant to be looking after

this building. There are so many people with questions to answer.

Absolutely. Councils should have disaster plans. Also the number of

people really isn't that many, you're talking about 400 people,

Jeremy Corbyn made the point of this happens every day at Heathrow,

hundreds of people that aren't able to make flights and you could put up

at hotels. It shouldn't have been such a horrible logistical class to

look after the welfare of the people for this period of time but it seems

that people aren't being taken care of an Theresa May has accepted that.

The other paper looking at it is the Guardian, the picture of a little

girl putting a candle amongst flowers to remember those who died.

The headline says: This is just a figure to tide them

over, ?5,000 when you've lost absolutely everything. Ministers

making very clear that that amount can be increased depending on the

costs that people suffer and the amount they would need, but this is

an initial payment from the ?5 million emergency fund that they

announced earlier in the week. I have to say, they are now having to

explain more and more details about this emergency fund and it's because

they're coming under so much pressure about how they're handling

this. I was just reading in the Guardian that Gold command, a

network that manages disasters, has had to take this on, the British Red

Cross also being very instrumental in helping people? The FT reporting

that other chief executives from other local authorities are becoming

important and taking the lead away from the Kensington and is a local

authority, which itself says it is doing all it can and it is active

but it seems to be there is a bit of a vote of no-confidence in

government officials. There's an interesting nugget in the Times

front-page story, suggesting the local council spent ?50 million less

than it took in on council housing last year. Questions about how much

money they are collecting in rent and then spending on services for

council houses. Let's stay with the Guardian:

There isn't a majority, the one Theresa May was seeking in the snap

election she called, they don't have the whip and they were hoping for.

They don't. There's a couple of different ways you could look at

this in cash whip hand. They are taking the open wound that Theresa

May suffered -- whip hand. The conversation Jean-Claude Juncker had

with Theresa May was leaked pretty much verbatim. Given that

occasionally he has tried to poke fun at the UK's woes as well. I

think there's also something more serious to this, which is it is in

the EU's interest to get an agreeable deal. Perhaps not as

agreeable as some Conservative ministers would like, but it's not

without their interests in this as well. Were it to descend into chaos

and to fall apart, that wouldn't be the best thing for France or Germany

either. The Daily Express, Tom, has a much more optimistic look at it.

Confidence high as talks begin, it says, it doesn't say who is

confident. It's interesting, I was speaking to an exporter this week

who told me he didn't think Britain had enough time to lay the car parks

we would need around Dover as soon as Brexit comes, maybe it is a boost

for road builders or car park builders, because as soon as customs

clearance comes in it will take a while for lorries to get through. If

we leave the customs union. Actually, yes, even if we leave...

Even if we leave the Common Market we could still have customs

clearance. One of the issues is there are a million small tiny

details that lead to the correct functioning of the European Union,

and the easy transit of millions of transactions every day. It's like

the back of a hi-fi, we don't know how it works, we don't really want

to know, but somehow all those wires are connected and it makes sound we

quite like. Woe betide one of them coming loose. As soon as you rip

them all apart then it may not work as well as you would like and you

might not understand why but you won't get the sound you used to

enjoy. Philip Hammond might not even have been Chancellor going into

these talks had the election turned out differently, he is saying now,

bear in mind, I wonder how he is feeling on the eve of this given

that he is an ardent Remainer. He has to negotiate our withdrawal and

he's worried about the economy. He is. It's interesting how he's

playing his hands since the general election result. Affectively he is

arguing for a soft Brexit without saying it, that we need to focus on

the economy rather than focusing on immigration -- effectively. Even

today saying about immigration saying there's no timescale for it

and cutting immigration shouldn't come at the economy. Even the

Treasury says radical cuts to immigration even without leaving the

EU would hurt the economy in itself. I wonder whether the people

negotiating it for us are of the same opinion about what Brexit

should be. Hammond of course said that people didn't vote to make

themselves poorer. The government, if you're negotiating the situation,

you have conflicting aims. On the one hand people want to limit

immigration... Basically people want all the upside and none of the

downside, they want their cake and be able to eat it too. That's

difficult if you have contradictory ambitions so they are in a

commander. P2 of the Sun: It with his gloves on. Philip Hammond

not being able to talk about a trade deal from the get go, which is what

he wanted, the EU saying you have to wait until we've sorted the rest of

it out. It's interesting, this is the narrative and framework we have

seen the negotiation as. When you go to negotiate a house, I don't meet

many people who say I got 50% of. Generally when you try to negotiate

its around the margin and this is the case with trade deals. They are

well-established, the parameters are limited in terms of movement. The

idea we should see it as a big battle doesn't really make much

sense. David Davis is on the front of the Telegraph whether he wants to

be or not, being tipped to be interim Tory leader. Holder for wild

things are tricky quiz blue indeed! Especially for the next two years --

hold the fort while things are tricky quiz blue indeed! Just while

you get Brexit sorted --? Indeed! He is pledging to go to Brussels

tomorrow and returned with a deal like no other in history. That's in

the Sun? It can be read in two ways, lots of things are historic, Rafa

Nadal winning ten French opens is historic, but the Titanic was also

historic. I'm surprised they have signed that one off. It's

interesting where this story is coming from with David Davis and

it's coming from, as it says in the Telegraph, it says he was tipped for

the post by Boris Johnson, which I think tells you everything. He wants

to be the permanent leader! Let's finish with P2 of the Daily Mail,

Google plots let's on IS propaganda. Why are they doing it now, there's

been pressure on them for months -- blitz. There's talk about new

computer programmes that can help to spot difficult content, problematic

content. Google and Facebook and some of the other social media

platforms are being blamed for helping the radicalisation of

certain young Muslims and others and they are under pressure to do

something about it. The problem for the companies is they would rather

not spend the money doing this. If they can do it like this that would

be cheaper but the companies haven't been held to account for the

material that has been disseminated on the platform and they are trying

to fend it off. It is quite significant for them because it's a

real threat to their business model, if they're going to be held

accountable and they are being forced to put in place mechanisms to

stop it it could hurt them financially significantly. Fair play

to the Mail and the Times, who have been running a campaign on this, one

thing they will do is prevent adverts from appearing on extremist

material, they are making sure the people don't make any revenue from

it, this is something they have been under pressure on for weeks and

weeks but now effectively they are doing something about it.
