Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
With me are Laura Perrins, co-editor of the website | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
The Conservative Woman, and Torcuil Crichton, Westminster | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Great see you both. Thanks for coming in. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
The Metro splashes that many graduates can expect to spend longer | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
paying off their student debt than their mortgage with more | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
than 75% failing to pay back the whole amount. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
The Guardian quotes a study claiming that students starting university | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
this September will emerge with an average debt | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
The Financial Times leads with takeover attempts by US firms | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
of the British payment processing company Worldpay following Brexit. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
And the drop in the value of the pound. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
The Express quotes an investigation by the British Medical Journal that | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
has found wait times for hip and knee operations have increased | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The Telegraph writes that Communities Secretary Sajid Javid | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
is to force wealthy rural areas to build more homes in an attempt | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The Sun headlines a plea by doctors in the US and the Vactican | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
That is after the public raised ?1.3 million to help pay for his | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
treatment. The Daily Mail has a 4-page spread dedicated to Charlie | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Gard and his family after, it says, the Pope's spokesperson vote to | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
overcome the British court ruling. The Times says | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
the Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling, is to announce | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
a ?1 billion road-building scheme Starting with the big story of the | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
day which a number of newspapers are carrying, the front page of the | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Times. Donald Trump calls for June Trace is meeting over North Korea. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
They reckon they have the ballistic capability to fire a missile that | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
can hit anywhere on the globe. It is the worst that few people want to | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
see in a headline, Trump and North Korea. He has called her again | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
crisis meeting, a meeting of the United Nations Security Council | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
after North Korea claimed to have tested that intercontinental | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
ballistic missile for the first time. He has upped his response, | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
which up until now had been confined to tweeting, of course, the new tool | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
in the diplomatic armoury. And it is expected that that meeting could go | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
ahead tomorrow. Thank goodness he is going through the UN. And not just | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
through Twitter. A president of the US on the 4th of July. Again, from | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
North Korea, two fingers up. More than two fingers, though, this is a | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
serious bit of kit. It could hit Alaska if they sent it out... Donald | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
Trump did say... When was it, January or February, that he would | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
never allow this to happen. That went well. It is the Chinese that | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
good start that ever happening. North Korea as a client state of | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
China. It is up to China to do something and Trump is appealing to | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
China with his tweets and everything else. Keep your eye on this. We | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
should not just be reading Trump's tweets, we should be reading about | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
all the nations surrounding North Korea. In range of these North | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Korean missiles. Chilean tonnes of gas and oil under the that everyone | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
will be fighting over. -- one Chilean tonnes. One wonders if we | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
have to get used to the idea of North Korea having nuclear weapons | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
and dealing with it on those terms. That is an idea that, you know, we | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
should not just surrender on. No-one knows the manoeuvres behind the | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
scenes in terms of what is happening with diplomacy but it is true that | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
China will want to contain this. Diplomacy has run its course, | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
really. But there is a school of fight that North Korea is defensive | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
and does not want to be toppled like it Iraq -- Iraq and Syria. This | :04:40. | :04:55. | |
headline, firefighter deal busts pay cut. Questions about the 1% pay cap | :04:56. | :05:10. | |
four public service workers. The firefighters apparently have already | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
busted this. Yes, this could be labelled another Tory surrender. If | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
they start backpedalling on the pay cap, which was put in for a reason, | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
not just the fun of it, it was to bring the public finances under | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
control. On the backs of the public sector. I will come to that in a | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
minute. It must be contained. And if they do not contain it, you can | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
expect it to unravel. In relation to public sector pay, the truth is that | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
after the recession, all P had fallen public sector pay rose more | :05:45. | :05:56. | |
than private sector. Public sector pay has fallen by far less than | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
private sector pay, having risen to a much greater degree between 2000 | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
and 2005. But the reason for the pay cap is to deal with the deficit. We | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
have a lot of debt... We have a growing amount of debt. Past Jan | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
soils have been trotted out in last few days, Alistair Darling, Kenneth | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Clarke, so on, they were fighting deficits in a different way. They | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
did it by listening the past rings. -- the purse strings. This was a | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
choice to put the birding on cutting spending. -- burden. I am just | :06:37. | :06:48. | |
stating the facts! It is easy to dress up what is essentially heavily | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
taxing a private sector worker who has seen his pay fault or greater, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
or her pay fault, to a greater extent than a public sector worker. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
It is easy to say, we will tax year to pay for public services. People | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
are happy to be fought public services but the pain is to be | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
shared across that the. It is private sector workers had the | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
greater burden. Finished? Public sector workers pay their taxes as | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
well. It is going to cost and it is going to unravel because the Tories | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
are just listening to what they heard on the doorstep and the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
political fallout after the likes of Grenfell and London Bridge. Which | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
people very quickly connected... Not the immediate response, which was | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
fantastic, but the hysterical background and cuts that have left | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
us in this situation. The firemen have gone for 2%. He started as a | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
fireman on 21 grand, you might end up 136 grand. Inflation at 2.6%. The | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
front page of the Daily Mirror is a continuation of this. Cameron, it is | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
selfish to give our heroes penalises, it says. The millionaire | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
next premier who rakes in ?126,000 an hour for speeches. It says. What | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
is audience in Asia must have thought that he took potshots at | :08:11. | :08:24. | |
British workers... Cameron White to defend his legacy. He did not go | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
through that I remember the last time, during a | :08:27. | :08:59. | |
Labour Government in 2002, they got a lot less than that and had to take | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
changes in condition as well. OK, let's move on. The front page of the | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Telegraph. Leftover women forced to freeze eggs. What is that about? | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
This is feminism coming back to inflict some pain on some alpha | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
females. It is an interesting cultural story. We have written a | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
lot about this on the website, actually. The numbers are | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
significant. Supposedly, there has been a fivefold increase in British | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
women freezing ex to about 4000 in total. -- freezing eggs. The | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
procedure itself is very invasive. We are told this is because there is | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
an oversupply of educated women and more women are going to university | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
than men, it seems there and all -- are no men for them. | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
Another hand, you could be going to university and leaving with ?57,000 | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
of debt. This is a symptom of the fact that there are more educated | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
women than ever before. Six out of ten students are now women. The | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
education system is succeeding for the funeral population, because we | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
made that decision, but it is failing poor young white boys, to | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
quote the book from last year. Failing young white guys are not | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
getting into uni. There is a story behind that story. There is a whole | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
book on that. We have it on the website as well. Been there done | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
that. Front page of the Metro. Student loan was on a mortgage. | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Quite a few stories relating to student loans and problems people | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
are having paying them off. The study says graduates from low income | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
families, the ones who really get to university, leave with debts of | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
57,000. That is since glands were replaced with loans. It says | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
graduates will be in a 50s before they pay them off. But the debate... | :11:20. | :11:33. | |
It is politically eschewed for Jeremy Corbyn to offer free tuition | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
for students, great political cell caused engaged the years vote. -- | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
youth vote. But Labour that the wrong end of the debate. It is where | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
you are born into your bond a life chances. If you're born in a poor | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
farmer, you don't get support from the very beginning, before you can | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
go to school. You're less likely to make it a university and then go on | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
and make enough money to pay off listed below and if you do get to | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
university. I don't think 40% of people should necessarily be going | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
to university. A lot of people graduate with debt and are not | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
secure graduate jobs. Not all degrees of the same. Lumping them | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
all in one category is dangerous. Some degrees are useless. Name one. | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
Gender studies is a worthless degree and you should not be paying for it. | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
You're being generous with other people's money and asking other | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
people too... I love shaking that money tree. Love it. I can't shake | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
it enough. It's like when I used to go to church. Finally, I love the | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
story. This is the Daily Express. Jean-Claude Juncker, president of | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
the EU Commission, has gone to the European Parliament. Now want for | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
his arrival and that of the Malta leader. He got very agitated and | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
angry. He is like the old headmaster telling of the old schoolboys. It | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
was a classic Visa TV, I am told. The express also tells us that the | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
European Parliament, which will as we know is and democratic and Roger | :13:28. | :13:39. | |
has no power, costs us eight billion pounds a year. Another reason why we | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
should get out. One sentence comment. He is a notoriously | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
passionate politician depending on the time of day, so this might have | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
been after lunch. You know how we know he was angry? He gave his Thai | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
leader in English. So we know he was angry. -- his Tyler Reid. | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
Don't forget, you can see the front pages of the newspapers online. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Thank you, Laura Perrins and Torcuil Crichton. | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
Hello. 25 Celsius in the sun in Kent today but just 12 in the rain in | :14:18. | :14:36. | |
parts of southern Scotland and northern England. Northern Ireland | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
improved a bit this evening, drier, plenty of | :14:42. | :14:42. |
