:00:14. > :00:16.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:17. > :00:20.With me are Giles Kenningham - communications consultant and former
:00:21. > :00:24.Director of Communications at the Conservative Party.
:00:25. > :00:25.And the FT's Political Correspondent, Henry Mance.
:00:26. > :00:35.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...
:00:36. > :00:36.Brussels' 2.4 billion euro fine for Google
:00:37. > :00:39.is the main story on the FT, which reports the decision
:00:40. > :00:41.could potentially have far-reaching implications for the tech sector
:00:42. > :00:43.and already-strained transatlantic ties.
:00:44. > :00:46.The Metro leads with the European Court of Human Rights
:00:47. > :00:48.rejecting a plea to intervene in the case of critically
:00:49. > :00:53.It says the decision closes off the last legal avenue of appeal
:00:54. > :00:56.The i looks at the Government's Brexit strategy, reporting
:00:57. > :00:58.on divisions within Theresa May's top team, as senior Cabinet
:00:59. > :01:01.ministers square up in public over competing plans for the UK's future.
:01:02. > :01:04.The Daily Express focuses on a report by the Office
:01:05. > :01:06.for National Statistics, saying about 27 million Britons may
:01:07. > :01:08.not have a big enough pension pot once they retire.
:01:09. > :01:11.The Times carries a report on a fresh cyber attack,
:01:12. > :01:14.similar to the one targeting the NHS, hitting a number of big
:01:15. > :01:18.The Telegraph leads with the Bank of England warning that lenders
:01:19. > :01:20.were making it too easy to borrow money, raising fears
:01:21. > :01:35.The Guardian says the SNP has abandoned plans to hold a second
:01:36. > :01:42.independence referendum before the UK leaves the EU. We have tossed
:01:43. > :01:49.coins, Henry, your first! Good news for you. Basically, cyber attack
:01:50. > :01:54.causes chaos, another one. Ransomware, they were trying to
:01:55. > :01:58.extort money, and this is ongoing. Yes, people watching will be
:01:59. > :02:03.thinking, is this going to be a facet of life? You have terrorism
:02:04. > :02:06.threats, climate change threats and now cyber attacks, which seemed to
:02:07. > :02:10.be coming up readily. Their staggering details, one is that the
:02:11. > :02:13.Chernobyl nuclear plant is monitoring radiation levels manually
:02:14. > :02:19.because the window systems have crashed. That is the kind of effect
:02:20. > :02:25.being felt from around the world. We don't know where it originates or
:02:26. > :02:28.whether it has a political intent. The companies, employees, for
:02:29. > :02:34.ordinary citizens, this is going to cause havoc when they start up their
:02:35. > :02:38.computers tomorrow morning. When we were in government, we thought this
:02:39. > :02:42.would become as big a threat as terrorism, George Osborne earmarked
:02:43. > :02:46.?1.9 billion to tackle this. It is going to become a reality for big
:02:47. > :02:50.business and government, how do you deal with this? It can be absolutely
:02:51. > :02:54.crippling, you know, over how you deal with stuff. It's part of the
:02:55. > :02:58.problem, Henry, the suggestion that a lot of companies in the age of
:02:59. > :03:04.austerity-lite looking at their bottom line, checking the ledgers,
:03:05. > :03:10.realising there isn't much cash after the recession, not investing
:03:11. > :03:14.in security was part of a way to cut costs. Companies will be looking at
:03:15. > :03:18.their vulnerabilities, another is that people are using their own
:03:19. > :03:23.devices, they want to be able to access work e-mails in all kinds of
:03:24. > :03:26.places with ease. Security is not often top of mind for people. I
:03:27. > :03:31.think you will have very worried people at the top of company saying,
:03:32. > :03:34.we've got to get a grip on this. Our sensitive data and customer
:03:35. > :03:39.information can't go, reputations are at stake if we make a mistake.
:03:40. > :03:43.It transcends borders, that's the real problem for people, you can't
:03:44. > :03:47.look at it domestically, you've got to look at it internationally. It is
:03:48. > :03:52.getting to be a massive problem. Staying with the times, made's top
:03:53. > :03:58.team splits over Brexit division between David Davis, Hammond and
:03:59. > :04:04.Johnson. That's not good, bearing in mind we are embarking upon the
:04:05. > :04:08.biggest cost and usual change in this country for 50 years. It is the
:04:09. > :04:13.sign of a new World order. -- the biggest constitutional change. You
:04:14. > :04:17.can see splits spilling out in a public way. This row over the
:04:18. > :04:22.transition period, should we have one, if so, for how long? David
:04:23. > :04:27.Davis started by saying there would not be won. Philip Allen's much more
:04:28. > :04:31.in favour of a soft Brexit and having one -- Philip Hammond. The
:04:32. > :04:34.consensus emerging out of the Conservative body is that we should
:04:35. > :04:38.have won. The very fact this has spilled out into the public is not
:04:39. > :04:42.good. What it says to the rest of the world is that we are, you know,
:04:43. > :04:50.a country who is basically riven by splits and divisions. We are
:04:51. > :04:55.essentially facing a period of chaos and division. Also what's really
:04:56. > :04:58.interesting is I think that Philip Hammond today mocked Boris Johnson
:04:59. > :05:02.over this famous Boris Johnson quote, I want to have my cake and
:05:03. > :05:08.eat it. When you are getting into this sort of area of satire, I think
:05:09. > :05:11.it's slightly problematic. What's interesting is Philip Hammond's very
:05:12. > :05:17.involved in post-election. Everyone said he was going to get sacked.
:05:18. > :05:20.Theresa May's aides were reefing that he was going to get sacked,
:05:21. > :05:26.ironically he is now in quite a strong position -- were briefing.
:05:27. > :05:31.The i continues the story, Cabinet chaos on Brexit. We might be able to
:05:32. > :05:37.bring up the front of the i to show that. The whole point of the
:05:38. > :05:42.election was to nullify this. It was to clear the decks and to allow for
:05:43. > :05:46.a united front. Driven by Theresa May. And potentially driven by some
:05:47. > :05:52.would say the hardliners within the Government. On Brexit. At the
:05:53. > :05:57.election result has led to, according to the i on the times and
:05:58. > :06:01.others, chaos. At the beginning of the campaign one of the interesting
:06:02. > :06:04.things was people in Brussels said, we would quite like Theresa May to
:06:05. > :06:09.win a big majority so we no what we're dealing with. Brussels now
:06:10. > :06:14.saying, who represents the British position? Is it Theresa May, he was
:06:15. > :06:17.not saying an awful lot today? Is it David Davis saying, I want this
:06:18. > :06:25.transition period all done and dusted by the next election? Is it
:06:26. > :06:28.Philip Hammond, who is a bit softer? Is it restores, who is not really
:06:29. > :06:31.part of the debate but people are making fun of anywhere? That is a
:06:32. > :06:33.tricky position to have if you are negotiating. Ultimately, isn't
:06:34. > :06:38.Theresa May, the buck stops with her, she's the Prime Minister,
:06:39. > :06:43.shouldn't she be saying, Mr Hammond, Mr Davies, Mr Johnson, it's my way
:06:44. > :06:48.or the highway, hard Brexit or soft Brexit? But you can't do that. This
:06:49. > :06:53.is the issue, our authority has been fatally undermined. She's still the
:06:54. > :06:57.Prime Minister, the leader, make a decision! Our authority has been
:06:58. > :07:01.undermined. The one irony is her biggest weakness is her biggest
:07:02. > :07:05.strength. Nobody else at this point wants to take over. It is a poisoned
:07:06. > :07:10.chalice. I can see the real crunch points coming for it, either at
:07:11. > :07:13.conference or when you have got through the divorce proceedings. At
:07:14. > :07:17.the moment nobody wants to touch it because it is so difficult and there
:07:18. > :07:21.are no easy answers. Onto the Financial Times, no easy answers for
:07:22. > :07:25.the Scottish as well, or at least for the SNP, Henry. Some are
:07:26. > :07:29.suggesting that Nicola Sturgeon's announcement today that she is not
:07:30. > :07:32.going to push for a second independence referendum until after
:07:33. > :07:38.the Brexit talks suggests that, for the first time in quite close to a
:07:39. > :07:42.generation, Scottish nationalism is actually on the retreat. That would
:07:43. > :07:46.certainly seem to be the case. Or at least a step back. Theresa May took
:07:47. > :07:50.a gamble in this election to try to get a big dirty, it didn't work out
:07:51. > :07:54.for her. One gamble she has taken that it hasn't worked out -- to try
:07:55. > :07:58.to get a big majority. She didn't specify when the time would be.
:07:59. > :08:03.Nicola Sturgeon has effectively had to back down and say, Scottish
:08:04. > :08:09.voters don't want it right now. The SNP lost 29 seats in the election,
:08:10. > :08:13.they lost Alex Salmond and the leader in Westminster, it was a
:08:14. > :08:17.humiliating day. They are having to dodge the mood. At the same time, if
:08:18. > :08:21.you go to an SNP event, it is filled with activists who want
:08:22. > :08:23.independence. Nicholas Dudgeon having to balance their enthusiasm,
:08:24. > :08:30.people who got involved in politics to get involved in the referendum --
:08:31. > :08:34.Nicola Sturgeon. The broader opinion has gone, let's focus on public
:08:35. > :08:36.services and have a bit of stability and calm down with all of this
:08:37. > :08:45.constitutional talk. A difficult balancing act for the SNP. Their
:08:46. > :08:49.whole raison d'etre or, the S, is Scottish independence. At the same
:08:50. > :08:52.time, Brexit has into being and that has thrown a spell in the works for
:08:53. > :08:56.everyone. We have seen the effect south of the border on Westminster
:08:57. > :09:02.politics, now it is having a similar effect over that. This is the one
:09:03. > :09:06.silver lining in the cloud for Theresa May. It is not happening,
:09:07. > :09:11.she can relax about this for a while. Having said that, Nicola
:09:12. > :09:15.Sturgeon is a formidable politician. And you should never discount that.
:09:16. > :09:19.All politicians have their shelf life. She's been around for a long
:09:20. > :09:26.time. You know, it may be that her time is slowly coming to an end. OK,
:09:27. > :09:29.Google have been naughty according to the European Commission. That's
:09:30. > :09:40.the front page of the frying chill times as well, Giles. Brussels ?2.4
:09:41. > :09:44.billion -- your row fine. They are such a massive company, between now
:09:45. > :09:51.and Wednesday they would make that money. It is unprecedented. It also
:09:52. > :10:00.underlines that they are a monopoly. Going forward they are going to face
:10:01. > :10:05.intense scrutiny. It also opens the door to, what else will they face in
:10:06. > :10:12.terms of more Legislation? They say they are reviewing it, but this is
:10:13. > :10:18.quite worrying for googol. -- Google. We are going to go on to the
:10:19. > :10:22.Daily Telegraph. A rise in easy credit. The Bank of England issued a
:10:23. > :10:26.warning suggesting that a lot of banks, it is as if 2008 didn't
:10:27. > :10:32.happen. Interest rates are low, lending is rising sharply, the car
:10:33. > :10:36.market has been booming thanks to personal finance. This is different
:10:37. > :10:42.to after the Brexit Road, when probably Leave papers were excited
:10:43. > :10:46.about economic prospects, saying the economy were doing much better. Here
:10:47. > :10:49.we have some of the problems. This is the challenge for the Bank of
:10:50. > :10:54.England, how do you stop the supply of credit at a time when wages are
:10:55. > :10:57.not doing great, the economy is slowing down? Can you put up
:10:58. > :11:04.interest rates? Tough decision. Read book indeed. No hope for baby
:11:05. > :11:11.Charlie. Charlie Gard has a rare condition. His parents want him to
:11:12. > :11:14.stay on a ventilator and to get treatment in the United States.
:11:15. > :11:19.Three British courts have said it would not be good for him. And the
:11:20. > :11:22.European Court of Human Rights has agreed with that. That's the story
:11:23. > :11:30.on the front of the Metro. Going onto the Mail. Two Remainiac crooks
:11:31. > :11:38.slip into Britain, remain you want them to be set back -- Romanian
:11:39. > :11:45.crocs. They can't be sent back because of human rights. It plays
:11:46. > :11:48.into the kind of Ukip Handbook about clamping down on immigrants.
:11:49. > :11:54.Although I don't think that even if we left the EU this would be subject
:11:55. > :11:57.to the judicial system. Obviously it is a big talking point, something
:11:58. > :12:04.that would get people excited down the pub. But there are never easy
:12:05. > :12:08.answers in this situation, I think. These are jail cells in Remainiac
:12:09. > :12:12.which are two metres by one metre square. The question is whether we
:12:13. > :12:17.should be sending people back to those conditions -- jail cells in
:12:18. > :12:21.Romania. The judge has said, the minimum is three metres. I don't get
:12:22. > :12:29.the headline, beyond satire. The male is saying, -- the male is
:12:30. > :12:33.saying committed human rights are beyond satire. Surely the limit has
:12:34. > :12:37.to be somewhere. There has to be something humane, and the judges are
:12:38. > :12:42.the people who made that decision. The European Court of Human Rights,
:12:43. > :12:45.which we would not be leaving anyway with Brexit. Although Theresa May
:12:46. > :12:50.has been criticising it in the past, she has decided we will stay. That
:12:51. > :12:56.is an interesting point. Finally, quickly, the back page of the
:12:57. > :13:03.mirror. Hair we go again. We've lost on penalties to Germany, Giles. Come
:13:04. > :13:07.on! We are cursed when it comes to penalties, we cannot take them.
:13:08. > :13:13.Somebody needs to give us some lessons! Germany are our jinx team.
:13:14. > :13:17.The England under 21 team were practising penalties after every
:13:18. > :13:24.training session, Henry, what's going wrong we can't toss a coin
:13:25. > :13:30.this many times and lose. I think last year we were losing to Iceland.
:13:31. > :13:37.In fact, it is this very day, or was it yesterday? When year ago. No
:13:38. > :13:42.substitute for a pressure. On that note, we going to leave, Brexit and
:13:43. > :13:45.the programme! Henry and Giles, thank you.
