:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:23.With me are Laura Hughes, Political Correspondent

:00:24. > :00:24.at The Telegraph, and Randeep Ramesh,

:00:25. > :00:37.The Metro leads on the news that hundreds of tower blocks need fire

:00:38. > :00:41.checks after 11 high-rises are found to be clad

:00:42. > :00:43.in combustible material identical to Grenfell.

:00:44. > :00:48.on the tens of thousands of tenants who could be living in unsafe

:00:49. > :00:53.The Daily Telegraph concentrates on Theresa May's

:00:54. > :00:57.promise to other European leaders that she'll let millions of EU

:00:58. > :00:59.citizens stay in the UK after Brexit.

:01:00. > :01:04.argues mass immigration has contributed to the sharpest rise

:01:05. > :01:10.Russian internet hackers have been selling the passwords

:01:11. > :01:17.The Guardian also covers the frantic testing by councils

:01:18. > :01:22.of their tower blocks along with a picture of the Exeter

:01:23. > :01:25.boys protesting that they can't wear shorts by wearing skirts.

:01:26. > :01:27.And finally the Mail looks at Theresa May's plans to protect

:01:28. > :01:30.all EU Nationals who came to the UK before Article 50 was

:01:31. > :01:44.So let's begin with the mirror and a really striking front-page image and

:01:45. > :01:50.a reminder of the fact that this story expands well beyond those

:01:51. > :01:55.tower blocks in west London. I was in the briefing when the Prime

:01:56. > :01:58.Minister's spokesperson said 600 and there was an audible blast from

:01:59. > :02:02.journalists are just a shocking misses and it is no wonder it is

:02:03. > :02:07.dominating every single front page today. It is this idea that this

:02:08. > :02:10.will continue for a long time. It comes because the government sent

:02:11. > :02:15.out a letter on Monday the councils across England, asking them to

:02:16. > :02:19.report back on whether or not they think the tower blocks are safe.

:02:20. > :02:26.Questions will be asked, why was this letter sent on Monday? This

:02:27. > :02:30.incident happened last week. Why are we going, all those buildings could

:02:31. > :02:34.be affected? Thousands of people will be wondering whether they are

:02:35. > :02:38.safe at home tonight or whether they will have to be evacuated. We have

:02:39. > :02:42.had days for councils to actually get their act together but the

:02:43. > :02:48.government has taken this long for them to do that. If we look at the

:02:49. > :02:55.front of the Metro, we have got 600 danger towers and you can debate

:02:56. > :03:00.whether that number is fair. But even so, that number is out there,

:03:01. > :03:04.the ones that are least up to be checked, and here we see panels

:03:05. > :03:10.taken down in north London, one Council acting in immediately. I

:03:11. > :03:14.know the 600 figure is up there. I think there are now 11 buildings

:03:15. > :03:21.identified by local authorities. It is the fear factor and that spreads

:03:22. > :03:26.through everyone. The outstanding question is, how did they clad the

:03:27. > :03:30.stuff? What was in gaps and regulations that allow people to

:03:31. > :03:36.think this flammable panel was something you should put on a tower

:03:37. > :03:46.block? Campton is saying, the reason we have taken this panel down is

:03:47. > :03:49.because they were not contracted. With some of the contract they are

:03:50. > :03:57.saying, but we did comply with regulation. There is least an

:03:58. > :04:02.ambiguity. Downing Street has repeatedly refused to clarify

:04:03. > :04:05.whether they believe it is illegal. The suggestion is we will hear

:04:06. > :04:08.something from the police and Fire Service. The other interesting point

:04:09. > :04:16.is this debate about whether the decision to allow developers to self

:04:17. > :04:20.certify their own safety standards, a decision made 30 years ago, might

:04:21. > :04:27.also have had an impact on this, we will find out. Let's talk about

:04:28. > :04:31.Theresa May. Daily Telegraph front-page, the publicity photo

:04:32. > :04:35.that, were those union flag is not union flags, she may even want on

:04:36. > :04:43.her publicity cards. She looks very regal. It has been an awkward day

:04:44. > :04:47.the Theresa May because she thought she would be going to this meeting,

:04:48. > :04:52.this summit, with a pick-up copy majority and she could go in and

:04:53. > :04:57.command the authority and actually what diplomats are saying behind her

:04:58. > :05:02.back is, will she last? Will she stay? Could this whole thing fall

:05:03. > :05:06.apart? Which is why she is putting forward this very generous offer, on

:05:07. > :05:10.the surface. And that is what the story next the photo is about. Even

:05:11. > :05:15.too much of a surprise because she always said she wanted to do this.

:05:16. > :05:20.This is a way of kick-starting the talks with goodwill. Of course this

:05:21. > :05:23.deal needs to be reciprocated for the 1 million British citizens

:05:24. > :05:27.living in Europe and there is one small bone of contention which is

:05:28. > :05:36.that Theresa May is saying they will give the citizens rights, but those

:05:37. > :05:42.rights will be judged in UK courts, not by the European Court of

:05:43. > :05:48.Justice. Do you think that will have to fall away in the course of the

:05:49. > :05:53.negotiations? She went in hoping for a strong hand and ended up with a

:05:54. > :05:57.weak hand. If you fall like a lion and end up looking like a clown,

:05:58. > :06:05.people will take you for the full view appeared to be. Europe is in a

:06:06. > :06:11.stronger position and she has had to give ground, even this offer is more

:06:12. > :06:16.generous than the hard breaks offer. It is a slippery slope for her. They

:06:17. > :06:21.know she is squirming. The only thing they cannot do is Pina lies us

:06:22. > :06:26.because that would play badly. The mail is putting the best possible

:06:27. > :06:33.gloss on it, saying this offer is made but it has to be reciprocated.

:06:34. > :06:41.If anyone is good to be grown-up about this, nobody wants countries

:06:42. > :06:47.engaged in tit-for-tat expulsions. We end up being a rogue state on the

:06:48. > :06:54.edge of Europe. I heard we were going to be a Buccaneers state! The

:06:55. > :07:01.independent has got an intriguing photo of Donald Tusk, European

:07:02. > :07:11.Council president, and Mrs May, and he is quoting John Lennon lyrics.

:07:12. > :07:18.Forgive me, it is Macron. His name is written underneath! I love the

:07:19. > :07:23.caption, whisper you don't have to leave. And some in Europe may be

:07:24. > :07:29.thinking, you don't have to go now, anything can happen in politics. She

:07:30. > :07:36.is rather hoping it refers to her rather than Brexit. Please don't go,

:07:37. > :07:40.stay as Prime Minister, letters get through this. His election has

:07:41. > :07:47.strengthened the EU's position, his alliance with Angela Merkel. He is

:07:48. > :07:52.the golden boy at the moment. Once the framing changes, the last year,

:07:53. > :07:57.when the referendum was happening, Europe was a mess, Greece was in

:07:58. > :08:00.flames, the migrant crisis was terrible and populists were on the

:08:01. > :08:09.march in Europe and we opted for Brexit, and the instead sought it...

:08:10. > :08:13.All of a sudden, we are the ones that looked like the odd person out

:08:14. > :08:20.in the party, the person no one wants to talk to, and unfortunately,

:08:21. > :08:26.it has done for her. The Macron thing is the big unknown. He could

:08:27. > :08:32.be the great White hope all he could fall in flames like both of his

:08:33. > :08:39.predecessors have. Everyone remembers Nicholas Carr suckers but

:08:40. > :08:50.not the reasons! The express. -- Nicholas cosy. Numbers rocket. --

:08:51. > :08:54.migrant numbers rocket, and an intriguing photo on the other pages

:08:55. > :08:59.as well, of the armed police officer with the Queen as. Ready to shoot

:09:00. > :09:08.any horse that underperforms, perhaps! The times, what do you

:09:09. > :09:12.think of this? This is the wild West of cyberspace, Russia hacking. They

:09:13. > :09:17.seem to have got extraordinary details of ministers, Justin

:09:18. > :09:23.Greening, Greg Clark, the personal details, even the former ambassador

:09:24. > :09:31.to Israel. If you wanted to, you could find out lots about powerful

:09:32. > :09:37.people. I suppose it just tells us all about our lives being online and

:09:38. > :09:44.for sale. It is not fully with a lot of confidence that the people who

:09:45. > :09:48.presumably are briefed even more as journalists about the importance of

:09:49. > :09:52.security and preventing information or the information we hold of other

:09:53. > :09:57.people, members of the public, contacts and all the rest of it,

:09:58. > :10:08.they may not be as imaginative with the past boats as they should be. --

:10:09. > :10:12.passwords. If there is anything embarrassing out there, he's very

:10:13. > :10:16.powerful people can blackmail, people can say, I have got this new,

:10:17. > :10:20.they could you get to the press, hack into loads of accounts, they

:10:21. > :10:28.can get really secretive important information. It is pretty

:10:29. > :10:36.terrifying. It says here, 1000 MPs and the staff. I mean... Never put

:10:37. > :10:41.anything down and you would not want to be seen, that is the only advice

:10:42. > :10:47.you can give. And finally, this lovely story from Devon and the

:10:48. > :10:50.schoolboys of Exeter taking a stand even though they must be a bit

:10:51. > :10:54.chilly because the temperature dropped just in time for the

:10:55. > :10:58.protest. It was the principle they were making and they have delivered

:10:59. > :11:02.us a really good news story and a talking point the day after all the

:11:03. > :11:13.bad news. It filled me with joy to see these young men! It must have

:11:14. > :11:17.filled the writers of headlines with joy in this story because they get

:11:18. > :11:22.their teeth into it, boys skirt the issue, a couple of others, lots of

:11:23. > :11:29.plays on words. It is great young people are getting political again.

:11:30. > :11:34.These people could be new voters for an energised Tory or Labour Party.

:11:35. > :11:39.I'm actually taking a stand on the issue, everyone seems to have got

:11:40. > :11:44.into the spirit of it, and even the head might consider changing it. The

:11:45. > :11:48.boys were saying, it's too hot, the girls get to wear skirts, can we

:11:49. > :11:53.please wear shorts? The headteacher said, it is not in the rules, which

:11:54. > :11:59.is absurd. You are welcome to wear a skirt if you like, and they took it

:12:00. > :12:07.literally. But I think men been told they had hairy legs and could not

:12:08. > :12:12.wear it... It is never put you what! He rather enjoyed the nice breeze

:12:13. > :12:16.the skirt afforded him. That reminds me of one of those images we will

:12:17. > :12:24.leave you with, carry up the Kaymer and the Devils and skirts, the only

:12:25. > :12:33.way they could scare off the enemy was by raising their kilts. Do join

:12:34. > :12:41.us again if you can. You can see the papers front pages online on the BBC

:12:42. > :12:43.News website. If you mist the programme, you can watch it later on

:12:44. > :12:46.the BBC iPlayer.
