:00:17. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:21. > :00:23.With me are Alison Little the Deputy political editor

:00:24. > :00:25.of the Daily Express and the political

:00:26. > :00:43.Let me bring you up-to-date with a look through the front pages.

:00:44. > :00:45.Like many of tomorrow's papers, the Telegraph leads

:00:46. > :00:47.on the London Mosque attack - they feature a picture

:00:48. > :00:50.of the suspected attacker, who is alleged to have shouted 'kill

:00:51. > :00:55.all muslims' and 'this is for London Bridge'.

:00:56. > :01:09.The Times leads with reports on the man held after the attack.

:01:10. > :01:11.The Express lead with defiant comments from Prime Minister

:01:12. > :01:13.following the attack, who says that hate

:01:14. > :01:27.The I call the terror incident 'an attack on all of us'.

:01:28. > :01:34.If we start with that, Alison. It's a very striking image. Partly

:01:35. > :01:38.because it's a night-time image, it's beautifully lit but also its

:01:39. > :01:44.reflective image. Under that headline, an attack on all of us.

:01:45. > :01:47.Very powerful. It is, and that's the message lots of politicians have

:01:48. > :01:50.been trying to get out there. They know how divisive it might be, so

:01:51. > :01:57.they are trying to say, and trying to convey the message that they

:01:58. > :02:01.understand that this is an attack on British people and British human

:02:02. > :02:05.beings. There is never a shortage of pictures and images, we see so many

:02:06. > :02:08.through social media and television, all the stuff people were filming

:02:09. > :02:11.last night on their own phones at the scene. It must be quite hard

:02:12. > :02:17.sometimes for the newspapers to find the still but is fresh, but also

:02:18. > :02:20.encapsulates a story. Yes, and one that does not distort the story as

:02:21. > :02:24.well. I think what's very important about the coverage across the board

:02:25. > :02:29.and all papers that we will see tomorrow morning is they, as far as

:02:30. > :02:34.I have seen so far, are trying very hard to make it clear that this was

:02:35. > :02:38.simply a terrorist attack. Just as Westminster was, just as Tower

:02:39. > :02:43.Bridge was, just as Manchester was a terrorist attack. The terrorists can

:02:44. > :02:47.come from any community. And they can attack any community. The

:02:48. > :02:53.headline says, each and every one of them is an attack on all of us. The

:02:54. > :02:56.Metro has an image of Darren Osborne, the man who is claimed to

:02:57. > :03:02.have caused the attack. Perhaps most striking is this picture to the

:03:03. > :03:06.right, in fact I think I've jumped one, I think we have the... Lets do

:03:07. > :03:12.The Express first. Theresa May and Downing Street. Yes, the evil will

:03:13. > :03:18.never succeed, which we saw on the front page there. Of course she has

:03:19. > :03:23.to say that. Of course, it's in a sense, the kind of reflexive

:03:24. > :03:27.response after any incident of this type. The question, whether these

:03:28. > :03:32.incidents in themselves change anything, or change our perceptions

:03:33. > :03:36.of the community we live in, the society we live in, and our sense of

:03:37. > :03:40.whether or not we are safe. I think a lot of people are asking whether

:03:41. > :03:45.or not we are safe. And the truth of the matter is, we all have a

:03:46. > :03:48.responsibility I think to make sure we are as safe as we possibly can

:03:49. > :03:53.be. There are two ways to do that. One is to make sure the police and

:03:54. > :03:55.the security services have all the resources that they need, and that's

:03:56. > :04:00.the responsibility of government, to ensure that is the case. But we all,

:04:01. > :04:03.I think, have a responsibility as well, because there are clearly

:04:04. > :04:08.people living amongst us who have hatred and anger in their hearts.

:04:09. > :04:12.And you can go on to do horrible, horrible things, as we have seen. We

:04:13. > :04:20.have a responsibility to keep an eye out for that. And to make it clear

:04:21. > :04:22.that any level of racial hatred, or a sense that somehow there is a

:04:23. > :04:27.group out there, and other, that we do not approve of, that it is

:04:28. > :04:31.legitimate to criticise and attack, that has to be stamped out at root

:04:32. > :04:36.cause. If it gets out of hand, this is what it do. In terms of what we

:04:37. > :04:41.saw particularly late last night, when we saw this intervention that

:04:42. > :04:47.features on the front of the Metro, which was the photo I was going to

:04:48. > :04:51.show you next. The photo of the imam, Muhammad by mood, who later

:04:52. > :04:55.did a news conference today explaining what had happened, he

:04:56. > :04:58.says and we see the pictures here, him intervening. Effectively putting

:04:59. > :05:08.a hand on the shoulder of the man who had just driven into some of his

:05:09. > :05:11.fellow Muslims, some friends, kind of protecting him, for fear they

:05:12. > :05:17.might be violence against him. But the anger could turn... An

:05:18. > :05:21.extraordinary symbol, isn't it? He has been widely hailed as a hero and

:05:22. > :05:24.I think we'd all agree with that. The mobile phone footage people

:05:25. > :05:30.have, the panic and screaming, anger, pain. There was a big blob of

:05:31. > :05:35.people, rightly angry with him, and he just rushed out and said, no,

:05:36. > :05:39.don't touch. Hand him to the police. And it was fantastic. What a great

:05:40. > :05:45.leader. The contrast with the negative image of some people who

:05:46. > :05:48.claim that they are inspired by Islam, with the contrast with those

:05:49. > :05:55.who kept saying, this is a religion of peace, supposed to be about...

:05:56. > :06:04.He's devastating that. Also that the Muslim community are absolutely

:06:05. > :06:06.behind the police. And that, this imam was making it absolutely clear

:06:07. > :06:10.that it should be the police who deal with it, it should not be mob

:06:11. > :06:15.rule on the streets even though it seems that the attacker was almost

:06:16. > :06:19.willingly the crowd to take out vengeance on him. The imam was

:06:20. > :06:22.saying no, absolutely not, it has to be the police to deal with this.

:06:23. > :06:26.That's how we do things in this country. The question that has been

:06:27. > :06:29.raised by some people talking today about this, and this has been raised

:06:30. > :06:34.and some commentary again tomorrow, is not just the immediate question

:06:35. > :06:41.of this incident, but whether there has been a rolling together of lots

:06:42. > :06:44.of different forms of hatred, and fear, and distrust between different

:06:45. > :06:48.communities. And whether there is a danger of confusing all of this, and

:06:49. > :06:53.treating everything has the same, so people talked about trying to do

:06:54. > :06:56.with Islamophobia to prevent -- through the prevent programme, for

:06:57. > :07:01.example, a programme which is meant to be about ensuring people were not

:07:02. > :07:05.influenced by extreme thought, and actually radicalise. Any thoughts on

:07:06. > :07:11.that? Whether there is a clear enough official view, if you like,

:07:12. > :07:14.of how we deal with the different elements of this? We do have to deal

:07:15. > :07:17.with the different elements, because they are in themselves different.

:07:18. > :07:22.But they have the same root cause, which is the sense of hatred. That

:07:23. > :07:28.is what we all can recognise in each and every one of them. So you do

:07:29. > :07:32.have to have specific ways of dealing with radicalisation within

:07:33. > :07:37.the Muslim communities, but at the same time you have to have slightly

:07:38. > :07:41.different ways of looking for right wing, far right extremism wherever

:07:42. > :07:45.it is they might be living. You don't use exactly the same

:07:46. > :07:51.techniques to approach them, but, they are so similar. And the idea

:07:52. > :07:54.that they are completely different phenomenon on... Demonising and

:07:55. > :07:58.attacking a group, yeah. This was the fear many had that there would

:07:59. > :08:02.be some backlash, retaliation, something of that kind. Let's talk

:08:03. > :08:05.about the Telegraph. A different subject, inevitably that is their

:08:06. > :08:09.main story, but this was supposed to be the day when all the papers were

:08:10. > :08:13.expected to be leading on Tuesday morning with a Brexit talks. It's

:08:14. > :08:18.still there on the front page, just. A lot of papers lead on Brexit

:08:19. > :08:22.because the attack happened so late. Could not make it into today's

:08:23. > :08:28.papers. Davis slammed the door on any hope of a soft Brexit. Is it as

:08:29. > :08:34.simple as that? Looking at this, it is and it isn't. The Telegraph have

:08:35. > :08:39.chosen to go in by saying, both David Davis and the EU are making

:08:40. > :08:43.clear we are leaving the single market and the customs union. A lot

:08:44. > :08:51.of pro-Brexit can say, of course we are. Even Philip Hammond, the chief

:08:52. > :08:57.Remainer in the Cabinet, said yesterday, when it comes to be about

:08:58. > :09:03.is how much access you have. So this new relationship could do that? To

:09:04. > :09:06.me this is not rocket science. I'm slightly surprised, one of my

:09:07. > :09:10.colleagues was in Brussels today so I will hear from him tomorrow, but

:09:11. > :09:14.that it might take chilly end of October they say, to sort out the

:09:15. > :09:20.issue of citizens rights. EU citizens. That was supposed to be

:09:21. > :09:24.some way the easiest thing. But we are also expecting there is a

:09:25. > :09:28.suggestion that Theresa May, when she does the Brussels summit with

:09:29. > :09:32.other EU leaders on Thursday, or Friday, that she will go with this

:09:33. > :09:39.kind of big generous offer on migrants rights to try and win them

:09:40. > :09:46.over. Maybe cajole slightly earlier. If we prop forward to the Guardian,

:09:47. > :09:54.EU yields inverse negotiations... Clearly there were concessions, on

:09:55. > :09:58.trade and all that. One of the reasons both David Davis and the EU,

:09:59. > :10:02.on the EU side, they are trying to say we are clear it's going to be

:10:03. > :10:06.hard exit. They have to start somewhere. If there is still the

:10:07. > :10:10.possibility of the House of Commons turning around, when there clearly

:10:11. > :10:14.is not a majority for hard Brexit, then it just makes the negotiating

:10:15. > :10:19.his nurse almost impossible to do. The basic fear of having one hand

:10:20. > :10:23.tied behind your back. Going back to the Telegraph, it's clear there are

:10:24. > :10:26.people and parties in the House of Commons who are determined to do

:10:27. > :10:31.their best to ensure that it is not a hard Brexit, or if it is hard,

:10:32. > :10:37.it's hard with a soft centre. Maybe we need Mohammed, the imam, to come

:10:38. > :10:43.in halfway through the talks and try and get them to calm down. Let's end

:10:44. > :10:47.with The Times. A couple of interesting stories, this want of

:10:48. > :10:51.Russia threatening the RAF in US air force jets after an American jet

:10:52. > :10:57.apparently attacked a Syrian plane. That's right. All getting very

:10:58. > :11:01.located isn't it rushed up I won't pretend to be an expert but it was a

:11:02. > :11:09.Syrian jet brought down by an American jet. The first time in

:11:10. > :11:13.Americans have bought down a foreign jet since Kosovo. To write it off as

:11:14. > :11:18.the RAF being under threat as a big extreme. There was a suggestion that

:11:19. > :11:22.the Russians will be tracking planes. It goes back to this problem

:11:23. > :11:26.that Russia is there with the Syrian air force, cooperating with the

:11:27. > :11:29.Syrian government. We and the Americans have certain preferred

:11:30. > :11:33.partners who are in the opposition, but there are other groups that

:11:34. > :11:37.neither the Russians or the Americans are very keen on. The

:11:38. > :11:40.Americans on the British are a lot more robust on Syria than they were

:11:41. > :11:43.in the past. I don't think the Russians have any right to complain

:11:44. > :11:46.about that given the way they have been behaving in the past five

:11:47. > :11:54.years. It also reminds us of this hideous situation in Syria, that is

:11:55. > :11:58.continuing. We have been so... It's not getting any better. Let's end.

:11:59. > :12:02.How else can we possibly end? Nobody is quite yet saying on the front

:12:03. > :12:08.page, what a scorcher, but Britain bakes in the longest heatwave for 20

:12:09. > :12:13.years, says The Times. Yes, Lance you were saying to me earlier,

:12:14. > :12:17.goading me as a representative of a Brexit supporting paper, were we

:12:18. > :12:22.going to have to go back to Fahrenheit after Brexit? LAUGHTER I

:12:23. > :12:27.think I smiled. Your paper has stuck with Brown hype through thick and

:12:28. > :12:31.thin! We will all have to go back to Fahrenheit. Could that be in the

:12:32. > :12:36.Great Repeal Bill? We will find out... If we do go back to

:12:37. > :12:40.Fahrenheit, it doesn't make it any cooler! It doesn't solve anything.

:12:41. > :12:44.On that note, thank you very much. That's it from the papers.

:12:45. > :12:47.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:12:48. > :12:52.It's all there for you - seven days a week at bbc dot co uk

:12:53. > :12:55.forward slash papers - and if you miss the programme any

:12:56. > :12:57.evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.

:12:58. > :13:00.My thanks to Alison and Lance. What else next but the weather. I'll be

:13:01. > :13:07.back at the top of the hour.
