:00:16. > :00:17.Hello, and welcome to our look at the Sunday papers.
:00:18. > :00:19.With me are the journalist and broadcaster James Rampton
:00:20. > :00:21.and Prashant Rao, deputy Europe business editor at
:00:22. > :00:34.The Mail on Sunday, which claims that the Prime Minister Theresa May
:00:35. > :00:37.is considering a dramatic U-turn on university tuition fees
:00:38. > :00:40.to attract younger voters to the Conservative Party.
:00:41. > :00:42.The Observer reports a Tory revolt against public sector cuts,
:00:43. > :00:44.suggesting Theresa May is facing pressure from within her cabinet,
:00:45. > :00:47.who are demanding a radical overhaul of state funding
:00:48. > :00:58.The Sunday Telegraph reports claims that Number 10 has told business
:00:59. > :01:00.leaders that Theresa May could walk out of Brexit talks over
:01:01. > :01:06.The Express reports that British fishermen will be given exclusive
:01:07. > :01:08.rights to a 12-mile zone around the coastline under
:01:09. > :01:13.And "Rogue SAS unit accused of executing civilians"
:01:14. > :01:21.is the headline on the cover of The Sunday Times.
:01:22. > :01:24.Easy thing to do, the easy options or the easy achievements, targets
:01:25. > :01:27.are there, because all they have to do is make the same number of
:01:28. > :01:30.chances they have made in both Test matches and put them away and cut
:01:31. > :01:32.the penalties out and they have got every chance to carry off what would
:01:33. > :01:34.be a monumental victory in the series.
:01:35. > :01:36.So, let us begin then, and the Sunday Telegraph. Number Ten
:01:37. > :01:39.plotting a Brexit walk outment do we think they really are? I am
:01:40. > :01:42.fascinated by this, it really hiss the tightrope that Number Ten is
:01:43. > :01:48.walking over Brexit negotiations, this story is interesting, it talks
:01:49. > :01:53.about how this is something for domestic consumption, you are doing
:01:54. > :01:57.these negotiations not just in a negotiating room in Brussels or in
:01:58. > :02:00.London, European ministers will be briefing against you, pro Brexit,
:02:01. > :02:05.anti-Brexit MPs will be briefing against you, you have to stage these
:02:06. > :02:09.dramatic things like walking out of negotiation in which you have 18
:02:10. > :02:15.months to complete. ... It is probably not a good idea in advance
:02:16. > :02:22.to say you will lose out. It loses the element of surprise. I travel a
:02:23. > :02:25.lot for my Josh I was in Stockholm and met an Italian journalist, he
:02:26. > :02:28.said you do realised you have become a laughing stock, in the UK, the way
:02:29. > :02:34.you have behaved, and he said and this was a terrible insult. He said
:02:35. > :02:38.it is worse than Sylvio Berlusconi what you have done. I can't
:02:39. > :02:44.disagree. If you read the foreign press they say what is the UK doing?
:02:45. > :02:48.If Mrs May is threatening that, they will be laughing, she has no legs to
:02:49. > :02:52.stand on. She doesn't even have a Conservative majority Government, so
:02:53. > :02:56.he is going to Europe, throwing her weight round, talking about being a
:02:57. > :02:59.bloody difficult woman and you you, you know, no deal is better than a
:03:00. > :03:05.bad deal. They are saying fine, off you go then. They have all the cards
:03:06. > :03:13.now, so... And her points are saying with the DUP negotiations, she ended
:03:14. > :03:17.up giving them a billion pounds. Now other ministers are haggling over
:03:18. > :03:21.that money for schools and education and it was no problem to give them
:03:22. > :03:29.that and fly them back on the RAF flight from London to Belfast, mine,
:03:30. > :03:34.don't get me started! Also, on the sort of post-Brexit Sunday express
:03:35. > :03:39.saying no foreign fishing in our water, Brexit bonus, Britain takes
:03:40. > :03:45.back control of the coasts. So this is other countries not able to fish
:03:46. > :03:49.within 12 miles of UK... We shouldn't overstate the economic
:03:50. > :03:52.impact this will have. It doesn't account for a huge amount of the
:03:53. > :03:56.fishing that happens in British water, we are talking about single
:03:57. > :04:00.digits. It is a significant move. I don't mean to down play it. We
:04:01. > :04:04.should put it in the proper context. It is an interesting move. It is
:04:05. > :04:08.parliament of the broader Brexit negotiation. It won't happen
:04:09. > :04:13.tomorrow, but as and when it happens, this is all the various,
:04:14. > :04:19.you know, as we were talking about in the EU election, so the Brexit
:04:20. > :04:23.cap page -- campaign, there is is a litany of... This was signed in
:04:24. > :04:29.1964, before Britain joined the... This is one of those things where
:04:30. > :04:34.there is all kinds of agreement in which the eau is directly or
:04:35. > :04:39.otherwise involved. I cannot wrap my head round the sheer size of what is
:04:40. > :04:45.going to happen. I would say the Sunday Express is a great flag waver
:04:46. > :04:51.for Brexit, this is classic symbolic Britannia rules the waves territory,
:04:52. > :04:55.you know, the seas, it is a very important emblem for our power we
:04:56. > :05:00.once had which we no longer have, the way in which we dominated --
:05:01. > :05:03.dominated the world, for certain people, the resonance of that is
:05:04. > :05:07.still very important, and to say we are going to take back control of
:05:08. > :05:11.the 12 mile zone, it sound great but you are right, the numbers aren't
:05:12. > :05:16.going to add up to much. Symbolically it is important. This
:05:17. > :05:22.story that seems to be bubbling away there is a volt within the Tory
:05:23. > :05:25.party, within the Cabinet, even, against austerity, really, in the
:05:26. > :05:30.wake of the election, what do you make of that? We are talking earlier
:05:31. > :05:35.a billion pounds here or there, sooner or later we are talking about
:05:36. > :05:39.real money. Some serious ministries are asking for more money. We are
:05:40. > :05:44.talking about health, education, Damian Green was quoted last night
:05:45. > :05:47.in which he said we might have to rethink the tuition fee situation
:05:48. > :05:52.and university, I can't remember which paper say that is estimated to
:05:53. > :05:56.be ?8 billion. This is a lot of money along with the 1 billion for
:05:57. > :06:00.Northern Ireland, all of a sudden we are talking about serious... From a
:06:01. > :06:04.Tory strategy point of view, is this the best way of deflating Labour and
:06:05. > :06:10.Jeremy Corbyn, if they do ease up on austerity, do they take some of the
:06:11. > :06:14.wind out of Labour's sails The Observer has an interesting poll in
:06:15. > :06:17.which they were talking about April 19th, only about a little more than
:06:18. > :06:23.two months ago. Theresa May had a net positive... A lifetiming a. Plus
:06:24. > :06:26.21, Jeremy Corbyn negative 35. Now, Theresa May negative 20, Jeremy
:06:27. > :06:33.Corbyn plus four and Labour has a six point lead in the polls. The
:06:34. > :06:37.Tories in their arrogant way, thought you know, we will call an
:06:38. > :06:41.election and have 150 seat majority, they didn't take account of the fact
:06:42. > :06:44.that Corbyn was a brilliant campaigner and Theresa May was a
:06:45. > :06:50.terrible campaigner, so, the result of that is that they are struggling
:06:51. > :06:55.now, to keep up, that the wind is in Corbyn's sails to use another
:06:56. > :06:59.nautical reference and you go to cricket matches, people are chanting
:07:00. > :07:03.oh Jeremy Corbyn, Glastonbury, he has become a cult, and the Tories
:07:04. > :07:08.seem completely lost how to respond that. I have got three daughters who
:07:09. > :07:12.are students and you know, they said they didn't have to talk to Tory
:07:13. > :07:15.students very long to convince them to vote Labour because he was
:07:16. > :07:19.offering to remove tuition fees, I mean that is an obvious thing to do.
:07:20. > :07:24.You are right Damian Green is flagging up that even that flagship
:07:25. > :07:29.Tory policy may be ending. Let talks about that since you nicely take us
:07:30. > :07:34.on to that. The tuition fee. Are they really plans, the Mail on
:07:35. > :07:38.Sunday saying Theresa May ready to consider a dramatic U-turn on
:07:39. > :07:41.tuition fees to woo young voters back, but surely that won't mean
:07:42. > :07:49.scrapping tuition fees in the way Labour have suggested. Everything is
:07:50. > :07:52.up for grab, it seems like it. You know, there have been several
:07:53. > :07:56.interviews that show the result of the election mean the Government is
:07:57. > :07:59.not the strongest position. People coming for money, maybe it leads to
:08:00. > :08:03.vote. We don't know which one could, Theresa May, leave aside the Brexit
:08:04. > :08:07.thing, which is already complicated, domestically this is is a whole host
:08:08. > :08:11.of issues in which every minister must be banging down the door asking
:08:12. > :08:17.for Mormon. It shows the power of the youth vote in the election,
:08:18. > :08:20.which was, had never really been harnessed before, young voters
:08:21. > :08:25.registering and voting Labour. What was fascinating in the EU referendum
:08:26. > :08:30.only 40% of 18-25-year-olds voted. In the last election, a couple of
:08:31. > :08:32.weeks ago it was 70%, and people like my daughters and their
:08:33. > :08:36.generation were getting out the vote. They are calling themselves
:08:37. > :08:44.generation vote, social media was important. Labour did lots of funny
:08:45. > :08:48.memes and pictures they were putting o to encourage young people to
:08:49. > :08:51.engage. It is great the next generation is becoming involved with
:08:52. > :08:56.politics because somebody has to take over this country, when we move
:08:57. > :09:01.on, and I do think this all plays into the total lack of authority
:09:02. > :09:06.that Theresa May has now, I mean people might complain we didn't vote
:09:07. > :09:10.for the removal of tuition fee, we didn't vote for the DUP to get ?1.5
:09:11. > :09:15.million. As you say all bets are off now and they will do anything to
:09:16. > :09:21.cling to power. The power of that youth vote, tuition fees is a
:09:22. > :09:25.crucial issue. We can recall about 2025 were tuition fees were raised
:09:26. > :09:30.or implemented for British voter, round then, that was a hugely
:09:31. > :09:34.controversial policy at the time and there were so many defectors from
:09:35. > :09:40.Labour rank, this is a political issue that has destroyed political
:09:41. > :09:47.careers. Nick Clegg, what is he remember for? A U-turn. And for
:09:48. > :09:51.2,000 odd Sheffield Hallam students rising up against him and make his
:09:52. > :09:56.lose his seats. You are right, that is what he is most remember for,
:09:57. > :10:04.betraying Liberal Democrats about student tuition fees. Revenge is a
:10:05. > :10:09.dish served cold. Let us move on the something different. The Sunday
:10:10. > :10:16.Times have a story about a rogue SAS unit accused of executing sieve rans
:10:17. > :10:22.in Afghanistan. We have to say the Ministry of Defence has said that
:10:23. > :10:28.they have disputeded this story, we have to make that clear, but the
:10:29. > :10:33.Sunday Times has some interesting allegations, that have been
:10:34. > :10:39.apparently compiled by the Royal Military Police, about certain
:10:40. > :10:45.things that the SAS was doing in Afghanistan, they talk about special
:10:46. > :10:51.forces soldiers are alleged to have handcuffed and shot prisoners. It
:10:52. > :10:55.did not need to be investigated. This is really remarkable. We will
:10:56. > :10:58.have to see the result as it comes through, according to the Sunday
:10:59. > :11:05.Times it has been curtailed, there is not much we can... It is a sort
:11:06. > :11:14.of operation, a police investigation called Operation North Moore It has
:11:15. > :11:18.been going on for a year half from a secure bunker in Cornwall. It is
:11:19. > :11:24.amazing it has got to this degree and not many of us knew about it. I
:11:25. > :11:28.absolutely agree Prashant, it could be serious, for the MoD and the
:11:29. > :11:32.suggestions are they want to just make it go away, because if any of
:11:33. > :11:36.these allegations, and they are only allegations are proven, it is
:11:37. > :11:41.catastrophic for the army's credibility. Sunday Times have got a
:11:42. > :11:44.story about parents facing a ?60 fine if their kids are late for
:11:45. > :11:54.school. Is that fair snuff? Enough? This is a case of do as I say not do
:11:55. > :12:00.as I do. First of all, the story quotes the government's behaviour
:12:01. > :12:06.Zaha. Who knew he existed. Several councils are sort of canning the
:12:07. > :12:11.idea of fines if pupils are late but the behaviours are Tom Bennett
:12:12. > :12:15.admits he was late for school every day studying for A-levels. I would
:12:16. > :12:19.have been several thousand pounds in debt to the school when my children
:12:20. > :12:23.were growing up. It very hard to get three children out of the house,
:12:24. > :12:29.well, is not but I am saying it is, but what scares me is the possible
:12:30. > :12:35.sanctions they are going to bring in, make children collect litter,
:12:36. > :12:40.remove chewing Garry Monk gum or mop classroom floor, measures used in
:12:41. > :12:45.South Korea, maybe we should be copying it! I am sure no-one is late
:12:46. > :12:52.for school in South Korea. Back to the Sundayel graph. They have a
:12:53. > :12:57.Grenfell council, the Government warning Kensington and Chelsea
:12:58. > :13:03.Council, couldn't taken over by commissioners, and it has been so
:13:04. > :13:09.criticised. We were talking about this earlier, this is a tragedy,
:13:10. > :13:15.everyone is right to say so, but, the response to what happened has
:13:16. > :13:19.been astonish, the kind of thing, this Tory says, that some of the
:13:20. > :13:26.families were evacuated, they were, charged rent on their flats. Are Are
:13:27. > :13:33.still being charged rent. Etch though there is no hot water. I Noah
:13:34. > :13:38.to say. I think I reflects badly on the sense of entitlement certain
:13:39. > :13:40.political leaders have. I mean, I deplored the manner in which
:13:41. > :13:46.Nicholas Paget-Brown resigned yesterday. He got the resignation
:13:47. > :13:49.wrong, he was so tone deaf, completely grudging he seemed to me
:13:50. > :13:54.and without dignity and he used the phrase which may have been provided
:13:55. > :13:59.by lawyers perceived fail, you know my perception of that phrase is it
:14:00. > :14:03.is really offensive to the victims and their family, those may well be
:14:04. > :14:08.the same lawyers that gave him the great advice not the let the press
:14:09. > :14:10.into the Cabinet meeting on Thursday, which ultimately
:14:11. > :14:15.precipitating his downfall. There has been no council in the country
:14:16. > :14:20.could have coped with the disaster on this scale. That may be true.
:14:21. > :14:24.People have cited Camden Council. The leader has been out and about,
:14:25. > :14:28.knocking on the doors of the people that they were evacuating, making
:14:29. > :14:31.her presence felt. Nobody has seen Nicholas Paget-Brown and his cabinet
:14:32. > :14:35.seem to have gone into hiding. I don't know if that is true. That is
:14:36. > :14:40.the reports that no-one has seen him and in this world it is all about
:14:41. > :14:45.perceptions and image, and the perception is they have failed
:14:46. > :14:52.miserably. OK, let us go on to rugby. Well, are you rugby people? I
:14:53. > :14:58.am a massive fan. You will have to take this over. I had five friend
:14:59. > :15:04.over yesterday morning, and my wife, who had had a bit of a late-night on
:15:05. > :15:08.Friday and my youngest daughter were upstairs and by 8.45, ten minutes
:15:09. > :15:13.after kick off, they had been woken up three times by our shouting. In
:15:14. > :15:17.the end they came down to watch, they said o we can't sleep through
:15:18. > :15:21.this. The shouting, all over the country for people watching was
:15:22. > :15:28.amazing, because the, to give you some of the stats, the All Blacks
:15:29. > :15:34.have not lost at home since 2009. They were playing with a man down.
:15:35. > :15:39.He deserved to go off, he did a shoulder charge on a defenceless
:15:40. > :15:44.man. I think it is a one of the great British and Irish victories
:15:45. > :15:49.and oh my gosh f you thought the shouting was loud yesterday, wait
:15:50. > :15:54.till next Saturday, the decider. He is going to come round to your house
:15:55. > :16:00.and watch it with you. It sound like a good party. I think I am going to
:16:01. > :16:07.come. It is only tea and cake we have. The doctor won't see you now,
:16:08. > :16:12.family doctors will be able to turn away all but life-or-death patients.
:16:13. > :16:16.It goes backs to something the Health Secretary said where the NHS
:16:17. > :16:20.needs, seems to need more money. I everything is stretched, everything
:16:21. > :16:25.seems to be, you know, increasingly under pressure and so, NHS practises
:16:26. > :16:29.may have to think in more creative ways how best to allocate resources
:16:30. > :16:34.until the funding situation is resolved. What it indicates to me,
:16:35. > :16:39.not only the people are fed up with austerity, the minutesters are fed
:16:40. > :16:44.up with it. They are getting criticism -- ministers. Their
:16:45. > :16:50.services are failing and they are saying, they may well be say we are
:16:51. > :16:57.giving the DUP one billion, why can't we give to it the NHS and
:16:58. > :17:04.school? Nurses get a 1% pay rise, that is outrageous, a what they do
:17:05. > :17:09.is astonishing, their pay is capped is disgraceful. If one of buy
:17:10. > :17:15.Borough Councils of this election disaster for the Tories is they lift
:17:16. > :17:21.austerity hooray. Andy Murray, we have done rugby, can we do tennis? I
:17:22. > :17:25.am not a huge fan but there is few things better than the English
:17:26. > :17:31.summer for sport. Cricket, tennis. Do you think Andy Murray can do it
:17:32. > :17:36.again. He has a bad hip. My worry is he overturns the idea of the great
:17:37. > :17:40.British loser, we have prided ourselves on being gallant loser,
:17:41. > :17:46.and now he is winning, I mean, our heads are so messed up. It is the
:17:47. > :17:53.hope that kills us. Good luck to Sir Andy, thank you to both of you.
:17:54. > :18:00.Many thanks for be with us. We will take a look at tomorrow's front
:18:01. > :18:11.pages every evening during the week at 10.40 here on BBC News.
