Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
With me are political commentator James Millar | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The FT says a City of London delegation will head | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
to Brussels this week to press for a post-Brexit free-trade deal. | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
The Express leads with the crisis talks between EU officials over | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
a surge in the number of migrants trying to reach Europe. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
The Telegraph claims the Chancellor Philip Hammond | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
is at odds with other senior ministers over the funding | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
The Metro says nurses are quitting the NHS in their thousands | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
amid increasing workloads and plunging morale. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
The Guardian claims the UK has ditched its hope of securing a "cake | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
and eat it" Brexit deal - and also shows Andy Murray | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
practising ahead of beginning the defence of his Wimbledon title | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
And the Mail says young drivers are being tempted into high levels | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
of debt by car dealers offering them new vehicles for no money upfront. | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
And finally, the Mirror says 69 refugees have drowned this year, | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
while trying to reach Spain from Africa. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
OK, so a good selection of front pages there. A good evening to you | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
both. James and Rachel, we will start off with the FT. And a story, | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
what do you make of the latest trump saga? It is mad! We have become so | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
used to him doing weird stuff but this is a story that is based on him | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
having a pretend fight ten years ago, which somebody has then put on | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
the Internet with a CNN logo on the head of the man he pretended to | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
fight and he has re-tweeted it. CNN are not unreasonably suggesting this | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
is out of order. On have said it is an incitement to violence, that he | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
is winding up his supporters. Do you think his supporters would take it | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
that far? What CNN are saying is that it could lead his supporters to | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
then lash out physically and literally at the media? I definitely | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
do think that is a possibility. I do think that anyone is saying him | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
posting this as a direct threat from himself to reporters, but that has | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
definitely been an escalation in the way the media is perceived in | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
America. We had a Republican representative standing for election | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
in Montana, who allegedly assaulted a Guardian journalist. We have had | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
reporters arrested and assaulted when reporting from actual protests, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
so doing their job, and there has been an escalation rhetoric against | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
the media. Every single day, if you read Donald | :03:23. | :03:35. | |
Trump's Twitter feed, which unfortunately I have to for work, | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
every day it is fake news media this, dishonest reporters that. That | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
escalation of rhetoric does have consequences when you have | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
supporters who are ever gone by that. When you would say you would | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
encourage people not to look at it, why? What is so upsetting about his | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Twitter feed? There are a couple of things. One is it is sad to watch | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
the man who has such a privileged and powerful position lose his | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
dignity and the dignity of the office through all of that, and the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
other thing is it is very distracting. I think some of the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
main issues affecting America at the moment are the health care bill, the | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Republicans are trying and have recently failed to get through | :04:15. | :04:26. | |
Congress. There are all kinds of other issues on national security, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
on Russia, that America should be confronting, and when you follow the | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
day-to-day feuds which are found by Trump on Twitter, you kind of miss | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
out on that. That is exactly the point, the dignity of the office. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Six months ago, Barack Obama was in the Oval Office. You would not | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
imagine him doing something as weird and pathetic really as this. Donald | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
Trump has said it is modern day presidency, this is what it's all | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
about. Anyway, we will stay with the Financial Times, and move onto the | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
second story that has caught our attention, the City of London press | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Brussels for a post-Brexit trade deal. They are going it alone, is | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
that what they are saying? Get used to it, it is Trump and Brexit, that | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
is what it will be for the next two years. It is called a blueprint, it | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
is an exciting way to jazz up the story. It would appear that the city | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
is concerned with the way the Brexit negotiations are going or not going, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
so they will mount their own efforts to get their voice heard in | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Brussels. Will they be heard? Part of the article does say Brussels, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
however, is unwilling to discuss the future relationship with the UK | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
until they have sorted out the divorce. What this story really | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
shows is on both sides, there are individuals, political individuals, | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the negotiators, who are upping the rhetoric and upping the emotional | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
side of it. Britain saying we will not pay or we will not stand for | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
that. The EU saying we will walk away with no deal. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Behind-the-scenes, there are businesses and business leaders who | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
understand that there is an opportunity for a mutually | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
beneficial deal, or at least one that is more beneficial than just | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
walking away with nothing. The key line stands out from ears this is an | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
example of how financial services are fearful of leaving their hands | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
on the fate of the official negotiators while talks are based on | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
narrow divorce related issues. Basically, they do not trust the | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
negotiators not get really emotional about this, and they seem to think | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
we need some kind of backroom deal to keep things from blowing up, | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
essentially. And if people are wondering about this aspect of the | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
City of London, it is the idea of passporting, the deals that come in | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
and out. Let's put the FT to one side. It is the cod wars we will | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
focus on. Britain risks return to cod wars. I do a lot of stuff about | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Brexit and the amount of times fish comes up. We did not know who 12 | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
months ago that fish would be such a big issue. Where it will go is | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
intriguing. This is Michael Gove saying we will leave an agreement | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
that is not the Common Fisheries Policy, which a lot of fish men do | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
not like. It is an old agreement that allows Dutch, French, Belgian | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
and German vessels to fish in what you might call our waters and allows | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
us to fish in their waters as well. If we don't let them use our waters, | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
we do not get to use theirs. But it is being dressed up as taking back | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
control of the sea and this sea of opportunity line, the various | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
fisherman's organisations' PR are doing a good job. I vividly remember | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
both the Leave and Remain side chasing each other down the Thames | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
in boats with signs about fishing. There was Nigel Farage on a boat and | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
was it Bob Geldof following. It was a publicity stunt and it may not be | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
the most important issue but it is one of the hyper emotional issues | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
and going back to what I was saying before, there were all these flash | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
points of issues which people get very emotional about, even if they | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
are not necessarily the big economic fighters. And we have seen in the | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
general election, a lot of the seats which went Tory from SNP have big | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
fishing communities. This is a big issue. A subject we were just | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
talking about, and the problem of the boat migrants. A meeting being | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
held in Europe to try and solve this. Rachel, do you want to pick | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
this up? Yes, this is the migrant crisis again. 2015 was the really | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
brutal and horrific year. 12,000 migrants landed in Italy last week | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
alone. The numbers are really rising as it is the summer. What this story | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
is really about is that Italy and the Italian government have had | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
enough. The Italian government is seeking permission or is basically | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
telling the EU that they are no longer supporting the EU asylum | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
seekers procedures. This is a really important issue, because it shows | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
that as well as Brexit, there are a number of huge, huge issues the EU | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
is facing at the moment, migration I think being the most important one. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Whether Britain leaves all stays in the single market or not, the EU | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
will have to confront these problems and they are not going away. Unlike | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Brexit, it is consecrated, however, some politicians like those from | :09:44. | :09:54. | |
Ukip who are quoted in this story, seem to think it is much simpler | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
than it is and they say centre the boats back to Libya. That is silly. | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
It is complicated. It is horrible. James, if you can sum up what we are | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
talking about on the front page of the metro. Bad news if you work in | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
the NHS? It is a striking headline, nurses quitting in thousands. The | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
only thing I would say is they don't seem to have figures for the numbers | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
joining the NHS. If more are joining them leaving, it is not a problem. I | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
suspect that is not the case. There are also issues about EU nationals | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
working in the NHS and those numbers are going down as well. It is | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
perhaps again a little more complex than is being portrayed in that | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
headline, I think. Do you think that number could be arrested if we have | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
the cap on the pay increase lifted? Nurses and the NHS are one of the | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
sectors which people have been talking about. I think it will help | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
with those issues of plunging morale, but it is not just about pay | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
in the NHS, there is a serious funding crisis in the NHS going | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
forwards, and it is a bigger picture than just pay, I think. Let's go to | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
the Telegraph and our story here is the Cabinet flipped over austerity, | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
oh, my goodness, austerity, here we go again! Again, it is another story | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
we will get for the next few years. Splits in the Cabinet as the big | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
beasts jostle for position and jostle for money as well. It looks | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
like the 1% public sector pay cap will get bust. It is a question of | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
when and who benefits politically. This is a really interesting story, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
both because it is about austerity which will come back again and | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
again, but also this is one of the first issues which the new cabinet | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
of the new parliament has really argued over, and what really comes | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
across as a lot of Cabinet ministers who were maybe lying low or taking | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
the party line a couple of months ago, are standing up for their | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
departments and what they want. Michael Gove has said it should be | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
lifted or it could be lifted. Philip Hammond has said if we have lots of | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
extra spending we might need some unpopular extra taxes. So far no one | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
has spoken about breaking the pensions triple lock which would be | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
my personal way of dealing with that. You have Justine Greening and | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
heads of departments dealing with a week Prime Minister they can come | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
out of the woodwork and make their voices heard. I agree that the cap | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
will get removed in some way, but regardless of how this one turns | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
out, to brace yourself for many, many more battles like this. How | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
this turns out will impact the battles because Theresa May could be | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
weakened further by this. They want to tell people they are listening | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
and that possibly will not be good enough. There is talk of waiting | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
until the autumn budget to break the pay cap. That will be three or four | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
months of battles and whining and she will get weaker and weaker. Very | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
quickly, I want to jump ahead to the Express. This is what everybody is | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
talking about. Wimbledon kicks off tomorrow. Defending his title is | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Andy Murray but he may have a lucky charm in the wings in the form of... | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Yes, his second baby Richie said is on the way. Don't think it is | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
imminent! There was one question about whether he would even play at | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
the last one. I suspect it will come down to his hip which seems to be | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
his problem going into Wimbledon? He is playing the lucky loser from | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
Kazakhstan. We are not very good at cheering somebody who actually wins | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
things so I wish him all the best of luck tomorrow and I want to remind | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
everyone that he has a baby on the way but Serena Williams who is not | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
playing Wimbledon because she has a baby on the way, she won a grand | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
slam title when she was pregnant. Yes, she is waiting to drop, as they | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
say! Thank you bray much, James and Rachel. We are back at 11:30pm. The | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
headlines are coming up. Coming up next, it's | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
Meet The Author. The Irish writer Paula McGrath's | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
novel, A History of Running Away, is about three women separated | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
by time and place, | :14:18. | :14:21. |
