:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers
:00:18. > :00:22.With me are Jenni Russell, columnist at The Times, and Steve Hawkes,
:00:23. > :00:31.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with:
:00:32. > :00:33.The Metro's front page is dominated by a picture
:00:34. > :00:36.from the Hillsborough disaster - on the day six people were charged
:00:37. > :00:40.over the deaths of 95 football fans in 1989.
:00:41. > :00:47.The Mirror's headline is "95 - manslaughter charges",
:00:48. > :00:49.with the paper showing the faces of all the victims
:00:50. > :00:58.The relatives of the victims are pictured on the front
:00:59. > :01:01.page of the Guardian, as they called today's CPS
:01:02. > :01:04.One of those charged, former chief superintendent David Duckenfield,
:01:05. > :01:06.is pictured on the front of the Telegraph.
:01:07. > :01:08.The paper also reports on what it sees as a day
:01:09. > :01:10.of confusion from the government on public sector pay.
:01:11. > :01:14.The Times reports on the apparent choice of the senior judge
:01:15. > :01:17.who will lead the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster.
:01:18. > :01:20.The FT leads on a day of uncertainty for Europe's bonds
:01:21. > :01:37.A lot of the front pages Jude lead with the Hillsborough decision, and
:01:38. > :01:45.six people facing charges in relation to that incident back in
:01:46. > :01:50.1989. What we are going to do is start with the Metro, which is
:01:51. > :01:54.focusing on this potential farce over the 1% pay cap. The Labour
:01:55. > :01:59.Party put forward an amendment to the Queen's Speech, that the pay cap
:02:00. > :02:04.should be dumped. It didn't pass, but a lot of debate over this. What
:02:05. > :02:08.this has exposed is the terrible trouble that Theresa May's
:02:09. > :02:14.government is in. She called an election to get the big majority,
:02:15. > :02:16.and ended up without one. She realised that the public doesn't
:02:17. > :02:21.find her government popular, have had enough of this territory and
:02:22. > :02:26.want a different kind of Britain, and she doesn't know what to do
:02:27. > :02:31.about it. Her Chancellor, who she intended to sack until she found
:02:32. > :02:34.herself with no panel when she came back, her spokesman let everybody
:02:35. > :02:44.know that that public disquiet about the pay cap, and that some people
:02:45. > :02:48.might get a rise in their salaries, but the Chancellor is furious that
:02:49. > :02:52.the Prime Minister is taking financial decisions without
:02:53. > :02:57.consulting him first. This situation would have been unimaginable a month
:02:58. > :03:00.ago, when Theresa May was the mistress of everything and the
:03:01. > :03:07.Chancellor was about to lose his job. It wasn't long ago when Theresa
:03:08. > :03:13.May was rated the most popular Prime Minister in recent history. We now
:03:14. > :03:19.have outright chaos. Jeremy Corbyn didn't land a blow today. Theresa
:03:20. > :03:23.May got through PMQs. We had Oliver Letwin on BBC this morning, saying
:03:24. > :03:27.that it looked like this was going to end. Then Michael Fallon said,
:03:28. > :03:33.looks like we are going to have to raise Army pay by more than 1%.
:03:34. > :03:38.Chris Grayling came out as well. We thought she would announce she is
:03:39. > :03:43.reviewing it. After PMQs, the Tory press office gave a signal that
:03:44. > :03:53.there was going to be a review. The next fiscal event is the autumn.
:03:54. > :03:56.They didn't talk about the pay cut that is in place until 2020, and we
:03:57. > :03:59.thought, there we go. Then the Chancellor through his toys out the
:04:00. > :04:03.pram, and there is absolute turmoil in government again. Is Philip
:04:04. > :04:14.Hammond the architect of all this? The architect of the row? No, no. If
:04:15. > :04:17.all the indications through the day are that the government is going to
:04:18. > :04:23.get rid of this, and then all of a sudden they are not... What Philip
:04:24. > :04:30.Hammond is not prepared to put up with any more is a Prime Minister
:04:31. > :04:37.who thinks she can make announcements about his area. It
:04:38. > :04:40.shows how powerful the Chancellor is now, and how little coordination and
:04:41. > :04:44.trust there is between the people who run the country. . I cannot
:04:45. > :04:48.envisage the Tories are sticking with this. It looks as though he
:04:49. > :04:54.wants to be the one to announce this. It looks he wasn't allowed to
:04:55. > :04:59.do that much. After the election, he walked into Number 10 and said, I
:05:00. > :05:03.thought you were going to sack me. It was that kind of confrontation.
:05:04. > :05:09.They have to try and stop this squabbling, because they will be out
:05:10. > :05:14.of power if this carries on. The Telegraph continues this. Tory chaos
:05:15. > :05:19.after public paid double U-turn. This is what you were alluding to
:05:20. > :05:23.earlier when you had ministers earlier on today suggesting that the
:05:24. > :05:28.policy was going to be changed, and then suddenly they decided not to.
:05:29. > :05:35.Spare a thought for the people in Number 10 at the moment. Two of
:05:36. > :05:40.Theresa May's lieutenants have gone, and there is a huge vacuum there.
:05:41. > :05:43.The people there are good people, but there is a real vacuum in terms
:05:44. > :05:50.of what is going on. Cabinet ministers are told what to eat,
:05:51. > :05:55.where, say, when to move. They now feel emboldened. Remember about
:05:56. > :05:59.Grenfell Tower couple of weeks ago, Number 10 didn't know... That would
:06:00. > :06:03.not have happened before. I think people will be watching this
:06:04. > :06:08.thinking, you still have a Prime Minister, someone at the top. No
:06:09. > :06:14.matter how weak she is, she's still at the top. Can she not say, no,
:06:15. > :06:20.this is how it's going to be? If not, why not? If you are working in
:06:21. > :06:26.the public sector, you don't really care about this row. You think, I
:06:27. > :06:31.haven't had a pay rise in five years, and information is now
:06:32. > :06:36.soaring towards 3%. Real wages are being squeezed, and people will
:06:37. > :06:40.start to feel a lot poorer. If they cannot keep their government
:06:41. > :06:44.together and they have to call another election, according to
:06:45. > :06:48.current opinion polls, Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party have a very
:06:49. > :06:53.good chance of winning because people are fed up with the Tory
:06:54. > :06:57.policies. People had better get their acts together and start acting
:06:58. > :07:02.like a government who are coordinated not only on this, but
:07:03. > :07:07.also on the huge issue of Brexit. There isn't any sign of that at the
:07:08. > :07:11.moment. Public sector workers deserve a pay rise, and I believe
:07:12. > :07:15.that is coming. I cannot envisage there will be a budget where the
:07:16. > :07:22.Chancellor stays up and says they will keep it at 1%. I don't think it
:07:23. > :07:27.will happen. After what we have lived through this year, it's not
:07:28. > :07:33.going to happen. But they need to find out where they find this. An
:07:34. > :07:37.extra 1% on the whole public sector payroll is ?3 billion. It is the
:07:38. > :07:44.equivalent of another penny on income tax. There was a report this
:07:45. > :07:50.morning saying that the public don't mind a rise in taxes if it goes
:07:51. > :08:00.towards this. Lets go on to Buzzfeed. There is a story that's
:08:01. > :08:05.interesting, talking about the fact that a number of people who are
:08:06. > :08:09.missing presumed dead as a result of the Grenfell Tower disaster all
:08:10. > :08:15.ended up in a small, concentrated number of flats. It seems that as
:08:16. > :08:20.the fire took hold beneath them, the people at the top of the block went
:08:21. > :08:25.upwards and outwards, hoping to escape the fire. Although the police
:08:26. > :08:29.have managed to talk to at least one person from 106 flats lower down in
:08:30. > :08:35.the block, and they know that among those flats, 18 people died, they
:08:36. > :08:38.say they have not been able to locate anybody alive from the top 23
:08:39. > :08:44.flats. They don't know how many people were there for many reasons.
:08:45. > :08:49.They don't know how many people moved up. They know that a number of
:08:50. > :08:54.the flats were being sublet, and the council have no record of how many
:08:55. > :08:59.people were in those flats. They also don't know how many people were
:09:00. > :09:05.staying over as guests for Ramadan. There are a lot of conspiracy
:09:06. > :09:09.theories, because there are lot of conspiracy theories and mistrust of
:09:10. > :09:13.the authorities. A lot of people feel that the authorities locally
:09:14. > :09:18.are trying to cover-up the number of dead. The people in the council are
:09:19. > :09:22.trying to frantically identify who was there that night. They are
:09:23. > :09:27.asking anyone who was there that night, even if they were staying
:09:28. > :09:30.there is legally, to come forward and identify themselves. They know
:09:31. > :09:36.that people who were staying there are too scared to come forwards in
:09:37. > :09:41.case they face some action. I was there in the wake of the disaster,
:09:42. > :09:48.and I was walking towards the tube in the evening. I overheard somebody
:09:49. > :09:53.talking, who didn't see me and my producer, and somebody said, the BBC
:09:54. > :09:58.is part of the conspiracy. You walk past and you think, you know, we are
:09:59. > :10:02.reporting what the police are telling us, and the police are
:10:03. > :10:05.telling us that from what they understand, it is this number of
:10:06. > :10:11.people who were in the apartments when the whole thing went up, and
:10:12. > :10:15.they probably will not have a confirmed figure until the end of
:10:16. > :10:26.the year. This is where ministers have to step up and forget politics.
:10:27. > :10:31.Some are forget worried about the ramifications. Trust has been eroded
:10:32. > :10:35.because of all of this drip drip, not because of the deaths, which are
:10:36. > :10:41.heartbreaking, but because of all this other information, such as
:10:42. > :10:45.government buildings, hospitals and schools being said to have this
:10:46. > :10:49.cladding on them, but we're not being told which ones. And who
:10:50. > :10:53.brought that cladding and who is to blame? That feeds all this. I
:10:54. > :11:01.certainly don't believe that. In years and years of being ignored,
:11:02. > :11:05.and the feelings they had of these places being dangerous being
:11:06. > :11:12.ignored. One thing the Home Office could do is to come out and say, we
:11:13. > :11:16.will not take any action against anyone, irrespective of their
:11:17. > :11:21.immigration status and we will offer a lifetime amnesty, that would make
:11:22. > :11:25.a difference. At Home Office are saying that they will not take
:11:26. > :11:31.action. They are not offering an amnesty for the rest of their lives.
:11:32. > :11:37.I should just quickly say, it looks as if they have picked a judge to
:11:38. > :11:45.head the enquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster. This was coming
:11:46. > :11:51.tomorrow, so fair play to the Times. What this reminds me of, remember
:11:52. > :11:55.the child sex abuse enquiry, where we have had four judges? The victim
:11:56. > :12:03.groups were not happy with the choice of judge. I just hope we
:12:04. > :12:08.don't have this down. There is some unease already about this judge, Sir
:12:09. > :12:18.Martin Moore. I hope we can move on about this and the enquiry can
:12:19. > :12:24.start. Never mind the Times with this story. The source is confirmed
:12:25. > :12:30.tonight to our Laura Kuenssberg. Finally, a sad day, Michael Bond,
:12:31. > :12:37.the creator of Paddington Bear, has died at the age of 91. Do you
:12:38. > :12:40.remember the books growing up? I was old enough to be around when the
:12:41. > :12:45.Paddington books were first published. They were almost the
:12:46. > :12:49.first books I learnt to read with. I also had a Paddington Bear in
:12:50. > :12:55.somebody's house when my daughter took her first steps. We took the
:12:56. > :12:59.boots of the little Paddington and put them on her feet, and they
:13:00. > :13:11.fitted perfectly. I have a photo of it. One of the actors who put trade
:13:12. > :13:17.Paddington in the TV show, he read that Paddington was a Peruvian Bear,
:13:18. > :13:21.so he came to the audition with a South American accent. And Michael
:13:22. > :13:25.Bond said, no, more like Noel Coward! Thank you both for coming.
