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