:00:14. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:25. > :00:26.-- Hello and welcome to our look ahead to
:00:27. > :00:31.With me are Benedicte Paviot of France 24 and Kevin
:00:32. > :00:35.We start with the Mail on Sunday, which claims
:00:36. > :00:37.that the Prime Minister Theresa May is considering a dramatic U-turn
:00:38. > :00:39.on university tuition fees to attract younger voters
:00:40. > :00:47.The Observer reports a Tory revolt against public sector cuts,
:00:48. > :00:52.suggesting Theresa May is facing pressure from within her Cabinet,
:00:53. > :00:54.who are demanding a radical overhaul of state funding
:00:55. > :01:03.Brexit talks is the Sunday Telegraph's headline as the paper
:01:04. > :01:06.leads with concern that number 10 has told business leaders that
:01:07. > :01:08.Theresa May could abandon Brexit talks over the "divorce bill".
:01:09. > :01:11.The Express reports that British fishermen will be given exclusive
:01:12. > :01:15.rights to a 12-mile zone around the coastline under
:01:16. > :01:23.And "Rogue SAS unit accused of executing civilians"
:01:24. > :01:35.is the headline on the cover of The Times.
:01:36. > :01:45.First, a good evening to you both. We start with the Telegraph and the
:01:46. > :01:49.front page. Kevin, do you want to kick that one off? This is a
:01:50. > :01:52.briefing from business leaders that has apparently been given by a
:01:53. > :01:57.former number ten figure. This person, who has not been named, was
:01:58. > :02:01.in Downing Street at the time, just after the election and they have
:02:02. > :02:05.subsequently left, which does not matter which
:02:06. > :02:15.-- doesn't narrow it down. They say that he has been told that if
:02:16. > :02:19.Brussels tries to set -- play hardball on the divorce Bill, how
:02:20. > :02:22.much question pay to leave the European Union to meet its previous
:02:23. > :02:29.commitments, then the Prime Minister is willing to walk in or storm out,
:02:30. > :02:36.as we lock -- like to see comment journalistic circles. This happened
:02:37. > :02:38.in September. This has been designed for domestic consumption, which
:02:39. > :02:44.essentially is to make the Prime Minister because if she is talking
:02:45. > :02:46.tough in the eyes of the public. I think this would have been more
:02:47. > :02:52.credible if it had happened before the election or if conservatives had
:02:53. > :02:59.a good result in the election, but really, the Prime Minister has been
:03:00. > :03:03.severely weakened and, I think, the European leaders have smelt blood.
:03:04. > :03:07.The delay she does not have strong hand. The whole point of calling the
:03:08. > :03:12.election was so that she has a strong mandate and she does have
:03:13. > :03:15.that. I just don't think it carries the same week that it would have
:03:16. > :03:22.done had she got the result that she was looking for. It's not something
:03:23. > :03:29.she wants to have attached to her. Her storming out, it would not be
:03:30. > :03:34.good PR? I think it's interesting that according to this person that
:03:35. > :03:40.has now left Downing Street, it would be for domestic consumption
:03:41. > :03:48.and four September. What happens in September? Annual party conference.
:03:49. > :03:54.Funny that! Just a happy coincidence! I think what is
:03:55. > :04:01.interesting is that this divorce Bill, whether as you 100 billion
:04:02. > :04:09.euros or half of that, this was not explicit in the referendum campaign
:04:10. > :04:12.and there are people who feel that not a single penny, some people and
:04:13. > :04:17.the government, believe that not a single penny should be paid off any
:04:18. > :04:23.divorce Bill, but of course that's not generally true in the divorce
:04:24. > :04:27.anyway. So I think that there is a problem. Yes, the rest of the
:04:28. > :04:30.European Union is watching extremely carefully, both the result of the
:04:31. > :04:36.election that we fought happened on Friday the 9th of June, but also how
:04:37. > :04:41.this is all playing out, whether it was the Queen 's speech, the tapered
:04:42. > :04:47.belabour our amendments, etc and I think an interesting line in this
:04:48. > :04:52.piece in the Sunday Telegraph, about, the liquid -- the move could
:04:53. > :04:55.be seen as deliberately provocative by you tube leaders. The European
:04:56. > :05:01.Union has said that they are not looking to punish Britain, that it
:05:02. > :05:05.needs to be beneficial. I don't see how walking out the work score deal
:05:06. > :05:10.at all. Especially when looking to get a good trade deal as well. This
:05:11. > :05:13.is supposed to be settled before we had to discussions. Britain wanted
:05:14. > :05:18.these talks to happen at the same time. If we start point off on the
:05:19. > :05:23.divorce poll, doesn't suggest that will get much leeway when it comes
:05:24. > :05:29.to getting a trade deal. Just to rent this particular story off, in
:05:30. > :05:32.some European states, in particular Germany, the finance minister is
:05:33. > :05:38.already seeing that I suspect the British are going to feel that they
:05:39. > :05:46.have made a mistake and what is the likelihood of ours going back on
:05:47. > :05:51.Brexit? That is so much going on. She said, Jimmy say I'm a dreamer,
:05:52. > :05:58.but are not the only one. All of these knots, wink, wink. We have had
:05:59. > :06:03.the referendum. The clock is ticking on Article 50. I don't think there's
:06:04. > :06:11.any going back now. Let's move on, the chaos continues, Conservative
:06:12. > :06:16.chaos over tuition fees U-turn. Some of the study up for us. This is
:06:17. > :06:22.interesting. According to Simon Walters, the political editor of the
:06:23. > :06:29.mail on Sunday, Damian Green, who is briefing heavily, the most senior
:06:30. > :06:32.minister in the government, effectively a Deputy Prime Minister,
:06:33. > :06:38.says that the national debate may well be needed on the issue of
:06:39. > :06:42.tuition fees and in order to get back the youth vote, a support that
:06:43. > :06:50.is seen as having very much voted in favour of Labour and having been
:06:51. > :06:53.wooed successfully by Labour, and particularly by that late pledge by
:06:54. > :06:58.the Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn to say that tuition fees will
:06:59. > :07:03.be waived completely, although they were introduced by the Labour Party
:07:04. > :07:08.initially, and then increased by the Tories later on, that it is
:07:09. > :07:13.absolutely capital that the Conservative Party change a lot of
:07:14. > :07:17.its fundamental core beliefs and therefore backed down on tuition
:07:18. > :07:23.fees. So this would be the mother of old U-turns. One can imagine, if
:07:24. > :07:28.this is indeed true, that Damian Green would be saying something that
:07:29. > :07:33.were not sanctioned by the Prime Minister herself. So one wonders
:07:34. > :07:39.what other of the core beliefs are going to be ditched in order to woo
:07:40. > :07:45.back the youth vote or indeed the actual votes -- the older fought. It
:07:46. > :07:52.makes you wonder what the Tories really stand for now, doesn't it?
:07:53. > :07:56.They keep changing. I would love to be a fly on the wall in Thorpe
:07:57. > :08:02.Hammond pots house right now. If this has landed on his doorstep, he
:08:03. > :08:06.will be taking his hero to rate now. This is ?8 billion a year to axe
:08:07. > :08:10.tuition fees. We would the money come from? The premised, all
:08:11. > :08:15.throughout the election campaign, was criticising Labour and Jeremy
:08:16. > :08:20.Corbyn for the magic Mainichi, that there's a quote that has come to
:08:21. > :08:27.back -- come back to haunt quite significantly. He doesn't say, but
:08:28. > :08:30.even that's a signal that they are going to look at it. People would
:08:31. > :08:39.argue that tuition fees actually haven't had a detrimental effect on
:08:40. > :08:42.encouraging young people from working-class or less well-off
:08:43. > :08:45.backgrounds to go into higher education because you don't have to
:08:46. > :08:49.pay the fees upfront, you pay them back when she were paying a certain
:08:50. > :08:52.amount of money, so it is all well and good to see we will act tuition
:08:53. > :08:56.fees and get young people coming back to us, but I think there is
:08:57. > :09:03.something much more deep-seated in terms of the Conservative Party,
:09:04. > :09:07.they have become toxic. Let's turn to the Sunday Times. A rogue SCSI
:09:08. > :09:11.unit. I believe these are allegations that we see at the BBC
:09:12. > :09:18.have not been able to verify. It no identity of anyone or the unit
:09:19. > :09:22.itself, but it does cover the front page of the times. It's an
:09:23. > :09:27.incredible story. If it turns out to be true. There has been an extensive
:09:28. > :09:33.investigation by the Sunday Times. The allegation essentially is quite
:09:34. > :09:37.simple, the rogue SCSI unit in Afghanistan killing, executing,
:09:38. > :09:43.unarmed civilians and it would appear, allegedly, trying to affect
:09:44. > :09:50.-- set them up by leaving guns which are traditionally used by the
:09:51. > :09:54.Taliban and then taking pictures or looks different. The allegation is
:09:55. > :10:00.that these are unarmed civilians that were taken at by this so-called
:10:01. > :10:03.rogue SCSI unit. There is an investigation which has been
:10:04. > :10:10.confirmed by the Defence Secretary that doesn't exist. Previously. Yes,
:10:11. > :10:14.previously. In February. Yes, any secure underground bunker in
:10:15. > :10:17.Cornwall, which makes it sending the secretive and they have been
:10:18. > :10:23.caddying at this investigation and it seems, according to sources, that
:10:24. > :10:28.it has been a credible claim, salt, as I say, the tones are to be true,
:10:29. > :10:40.this will be an absolute scandal. We will stay with the times. This story
:10:41. > :10:46.is that parents face ?60 fence when children are late for school. The
:10:47. > :10:50.bit harsh, isn't it? Yes, particularly since the bizarre says
:10:51. > :10:53.that sanctions to improve punctuality could improve --
:10:54. > :10:58.included making children collect litter, remove chewing gum or mop
:10:59. > :11:07.classroom floors before school and then we learn that it is a measure
:11:08. > :11:11.that is used in Cisco gear that is often a leader, it is pointed out
:11:12. > :11:16.here, a leader in academic tables. It says the fence could be used as a
:11:17. > :11:20.last resort. I think that there is going to be some very worried
:11:21. > :11:23.parents. I would be very cheeriest to know whether there's going to
:11:24. > :11:30.improve the punctuality and that sounds a bit like a parking ticket
:11:31. > :11:42.because you could get ?60 fee, fine, if your children consistently turn
:11:43. > :11:48.up late, so be careful! That could rise to ?120 if it does not paid
:11:49. > :11:55.within 21 days. I've been caught with that one before! Nothing is
:11:56. > :12:00.good to focus appearance meant more, I think, than ?60. That's a lot of
:12:01. > :12:04.money, for being late. I will have to set the alarm clock a little
:12:05. > :12:09.earlier. Maybe it should be means tested. That is really complicated.
:12:10. > :12:19.I think it should be more, if your lovely close school because you have
:12:20. > :12:22.no excuse. Do you of course to the school? We haven't been wagered and
:12:23. > :12:29.we definitely would be if we would be charged. How would you enforce
:12:30. > :12:41.it? Someone's come to detest that in court. Let's go back to the
:12:42. > :12:46.Telegraph. We've been reading with a study on BBC News today. Sorry we
:12:47. > :12:53.are looking at is that the council ultimatum. -- is the cancer
:12:54. > :12:56.ultimatum. The Balkans have been reading with this. The government is
:12:57. > :13:05.keeping an extremely close eye on the behaviour, watching whether they
:13:06. > :13:11.are on the ground, whether they give interviews, whether they actually
:13:12. > :13:16.seem out of touch. But on this morning was incredible. I can crash
:13:17. > :13:19.of an interview. The way that the council leader resigned last week
:13:20. > :13:27.was almost grudgingly resigning and blaming the media. Of course, the
:13:28. > :13:33.anger was palpable in the first five days. The point is that, can we
:13:34. > :13:38.really wait next week for the election of another council leader?
:13:39. > :13:43.Is that the normal modus operandi? Don't believe in being overreactive,
:13:44. > :13:47.but I think that really, couldn't that have been moved along? I think
:13:48. > :13:50.it is worrying when we hear that at least one or two people have been
:13:51. > :13:59.charged rent for flats that have burnt down. Of course, this is a
:14:00. > :14:05.huge task, for any council, and I think there is good well, but there
:14:06. > :14:09.are lessons that need to be learnt for the future. And I'm not even
:14:10. > :14:12.going to mention the whole cladding scandal. One thing I want on the
:14:13. > :14:15.ground and the seen it anywhere else, though stored told by a
:14:16. > :14:19.resident of what's next in the tower, that whole area, there was a
:14:20. > :14:22.consultation that was closed and overnight, where they were walking
:14:23. > :14:26.and redeveloping the theory and achievement -- changing the use of
:14:27. > :14:30.that area. This is all now gone completely quiet and it would seem
:14:31. > :14:34.wholly inappropriate. What's interesting is that we were talking
:14:35. > :14:39.to one of the volunteers today and she was saying that she still not
:14:40. > :14:44.really picking up on council presence on the ground, helping
:14:45. > :14:48.those residents. That extraordinary. It makes you wonder and you would
:14:49. > :14:54.have thought that the local authority would have some kind of
:14:55. > :14:57.emergency response strategy in place for and clearly this was an
:14:58. > :15:02.extraordinarily awful incident but you would think they would have some
:15:03. > :15:08.kind of sport -- this book response. That's for a national commission,
:15:09. > :15:17.that will be really important. This must never happen again. One more
:15:18. > :15:22.misstep and that desert. We have about 30 seconds. That fantastic
:15:23. > :15:25.picture on the Telegraph. The Lions Deidre dream after thrilling win
:15:26. > :15:30.against the all Blacks. Either of you watch this game? I don't -- I
:15:31. > :15:36.didn't, to screaming children to do with this money. Nobody gave him a
:15:37. > :15:42.chance. It said the fantastically for next week. One more game in the
:15:43. > :15:46.series. Dare to dream. Dear to win. Thank you.
:15:47. > :15:51.You'll both be back at 11.30pm for another look at the stories
