:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:21.With me are the broadcaster Penny Smith and the journalist James

:00:22. > :00:29.The FT says Theresa May is expected to ask Labour to come forward

:00:30. > :00:33.with feedback and ideas on her policies following speculation

:00:34. > :00:37.amongst backbench Conservative MPs over her future.

:00:38. > :00:40.The Telegraph runs with the same story, saying Mrs May will ask

:00:41. > :00:45.for Jeremy Corbyn's help to push through Brexit bills and for MPs

:00:46. > :00:47.to contribute, not just criticise her plans.

:00:48. > :00:50.Mrs May's unprecedented appeal to Labour will be seen as an attempt

:00:51. > :00:55.to relaunch her faltering premiership, the Guardian says.

:00:56. > :00:58.Her remarks will set a very different tone to her leadership

:00:59. > :01:01.style before the election, the Times says, as she faces up

:01:02. > :01:04.to a new reality of a minority government.

:01:05. > :01:06.And the i also leads with that story.

:01:07. > :01:13.Meanwhile, The Metro features the parents of terminally-ill baby

:01:14. > :01:16.Charlie Gard, who delivered a petition to Great Ormond Street

:01:17. > :01:19.Hospital today calling on them to let him go to the US

:01:20. > :01:23.Their appeal is also the front page story in the Mail.

:01:24. > :01:26.The paper says the High Court hearing taking place tomorrow

:01:27. > :01:34.That story is also in tomorrow's Mirror.

:01:35. > :01:41.So let us begin. The first story is the front page of the Guardian. A

:01:42. > :01:47.photo on the front of a few front pages tomorrow, celebrations in

:01:48. > :01:51.Mosul with the Iraqi forces there celebrating the defeat of IS. But we

:01:52. > :01:56.have been considering this evening just how much they have to

:01:57. > :02:00.celebrate. That is a good point. It is wonderful they have liberated

:02:01. > :02:06.Mosul but at what cost? Thousands of people have died, mainly civilians.

:02:07. > :02:10.Some from coalition airstrikes. Million residents have been

:02:11. > :02:15.displaced. Great swathes of the city have been reduced to rubble

:02:16. > :02:18.including the famous mosques and minaret. Ayaz has this fantastic

:02:19. > :02:30.ability to regenerate itself. Some of the Ayaz commanders came from

:02:31. > :02:35.Saddam Hussein's Kabbalah henchmen. They went up aid and reappeared in

:02:36. > :02:45.IIS. 300 to Hades have been killed they are foreign fighters. And they

:02:46. > :02:50.will disappear and reappear in some other place. 1500 attacks have been

:02:51. > :02:55.mounted on freed areas of Iraq and Syria in the last year. These people

:02:56. > :02:59.are not going away. They are extremist who will do anything to

:03:00. > :03:06.achieve their aims. They do not wear uniforms. They do not fight... We

:03:07. > :03:11.should point out that they are celebrations because the people

:03:12. > :03:16.there have been living under this, under IS for three months but living

:03:17. > :03:20.with bombs and fighting for nine months. -- living under IS for three

:03:21. > :03:28.years. The final months were horrible and close... The desolation

:03:29. > :03:32.we have seen in images has been staggering. It was completely wiped

:03:33. > :03:36.out. And can you imagine how that you would be if that was your city?

:03:37. > :03:44.The city that you love, turned into that. All the people you know who

:03:45. > :03:47.have died, who have had hideous situations with the so-called

:03:48. > :03:56.Islamic State. These militants still do have a handful of pounds in some

:03:57. > :04:03.stretches, it says, of sparsely populated desert. They can change,

:04:04. > :04:09.they can morph they can melt away, they can rise again and it does not

:04:10. > :04:15.have to be rising again in Mosul. There are several other Iraqi

:04:16. > :04:21.cities... The ground is fertile for jihad is because there is misery

:04:22. > :04:25.positive. That is where jihadist ideologies thrive. Neighbours are

:04:26. > :04:35.turned against neighbours. This is an Epoque will struggle between the

:04:36. > :04:44.Sunnis and the Shia. A journalist was upset because an old man said he

:04:45. > :04:49.watched his daughter shot in front of him by a neighbour he thought was

:04:50. > :04:52.a friend. That is the sort of thing that was happening in Yugoslavia.

:04:53. > :04:58.Battling between people who were formerly friends. Domestic matters

:04:59. > :05:06.now. A beautiful photo on the front page of the Times. We can discuss

:05:07. > :05:20.the bug lets talk about the headline. An absolutely beautiful

:05:21. > :05:24.image, as you say. A week and Made pleads for support. Another

:05:25. > :05:28.difficult weekend ahead Theresa May who have a fight on her hands to

:05:29. > :05:32.retain the leadership and take the party forward. There is suggestion

:05:33. > :05:37.that she will beg Jeremy for help and support which suggest how

:05:38. > :05:42.utterly desperate she must be at the moment. It does smack of

:05:43. > :05:49.desperation. Reports today, denied by Mr Mitchell, apparently told

:05:50. > :05:59.other Tory MPs that Mrs May was dead in the water, echoing what George

:06:00. > :06:03.Osborne said after the election. Totally un- suppressed glee,

:06:04. > :06:07.actually. It is interesting that so many Cabinet ministers are openly

:06:08. > :06:13.questioning her policies. Boris Johnson saying that they must lift

:06:14. > :06:17.the cap on public service pay. I just wanted to say that there is

:06:18. > :06:23.this talk of this sort of thing and how it could all change before the

:06:24. > :06:28.autumn meeting, before the autumn conference. But then you have David

:06:29. > :06:43.Liddington in this saying that it is all too much sun and too much press

:06:44. > :06:48.echo. -- prosecco. The only thing in her favour is a terrible job and

:06:49. > :06:52.that is why Boris Johnson nor David Davis have openly campaigned against

:06:53. > :06:57.her. They do not want the job at the Mosman. What is this manoeuvring

:06:58. > :07:01.they keep on talking about? That is gossip that goes on in all political

:07:02. > :07:05.parties. Nobody has come out and said they want the job because it is

:07:06. > :07:10.a terrible job, to try and steer this country through Brexit, the

:07:11. > :07:14.most difficult negotiations since the Second World War and with a

:07:15. > :07:21.weakened party with no majority without the help of the DUP. They

:07:22. > :07:27.used to say that English football manager was impossible job. I would

:07:28. > :07:32.say it is now the Prime Minister. May faces a backlash over historical

:07:33. > :07:37.repeal bill. Another milestone as we head towards the Brexit negotiations

:07:38. > :07:47.will not again, I bring it back to what support she can garner from the

:07:48. > :07:51.rival parties. Jeremy Corbyn, in the current climate, will he be in any

:07:52. > :07:57.way incentivise towards helping her? No. That is a simple answer. Tory

:07:58. > :08:04.MPs are openly saying that her position is untenable and I do think

:08:05. > :08:07.this repeal bill will be a complete nightmare to try and steer through

:08:08. > :08:15.Parliament. Except that we always knew it would be. We are so knitted

:08:16. > :08:20.into Europe that unpicking it was always going to be difficult. This

:08:21. > :08:24.idea that we could suddenly go OK, on this day let us just stop it. It

:08:25. > :08:29.does not happen like that. This is the divorce from hell. You thought

:08:30. > :08:34.that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor had it off... You have not

:08:35. > :08:41.seen Brexit. You will get the Jules, who will get the dog, the yacht, the

:08:42. > :08:48.house? That is small beer compared to this. It will only take seven MPs

:08:49. > :08:53.to mount a rebellion, for the government to be defeated, even with

:08:54. > :09:00.the help of the DUP. It is so tenuous. And you have Liberal

:09:01. > :09:04.Democrat saying, predicting that legislative war, saying the bill

:09:05. > :09:08.would look like a Christmas tree because of the number of amendments

:09:09. > :09:18.that will be hung onto with full. As I said, anybody who thought it was

:09:19. > :09:23.going to be easy... Over the last year, it is not going to be easy.

:09:24. > :09:28.This is the reaction from the European Parliament rejecting

:09:29. > :09:35.Britain's damp squib off on citizens rights. This is Theresa May's

:09:36. > :09:38.suggestion a couple of weeks ago. Do not forget, that this is a

:09:39. > :09:44.negotiation, this is our starting point. It is very much like the

:09:45. > :09:50.start of any negotiation. You go and barter over something in a market

:09:51. > :09:55.you start your position here, they start there and you come together.

:09:56. > :09:59.That is how it is. The problem for Mrs May now is that before the

:10:00. > :10:07.election she was being quite leash, saying that no deal is better than a

:10:08. > :10:11.bad deal. But Europe is laughing. There is a sense in Europe that we

:10:12. > :10:14.are a laughing stock closed she is so impotent and everything will need

:10:15. > :10:20.to be run through Parliament where she does not have a majority. They

:10:21. > :10:24.think well, how can she get through any hard Brexit ideas because she is

:10:25. > :10:29.fatally weakened? Again, we come back to that point. It is going to

:10:30. > :10:35.happen because we voted for it. There for it will happen. There are

:10:36. > :10:42.people who say they won't. And there are people who say they will. I was

:10:43. > :10:48.told the other day by someone just to get over it. I was quite

:10:49. > :10:54.flattered. It showed I had annoyed her in a way. And I think this whole

:10:55. > :10:59.idea that we just turn up, have a nice chat with Michelle Barnier...

:11:00. > :11:05.We have long established that that is not going to happen. Let's move

:11:06. > :11:09.away from politics back to the Financial Times. This is a tidal

:11:10. > :11:19.power project under. ?1.3 billion project. This is something that is

:11:20. > :11:26.at the most a massive job. It has been described by some critics as

:11:27. > :11:34.Britain's hobbyist ever renewable energy project so it is in Swansea

:11:35. > :11:42.Bay and this would be a tidal lagoon 1900 construction jobs. A huge

:11:43. > :11:47.number of jobs. Six mile seawall. 16 underwater turbines, powerful

:11:48. > :11:52.155,000 homes. It would take three years to build and have a design

:11:53. > :11:56.life of 120 years. The thing is, of course, you can look at one side and

:11:57. > :12:04.say that if great. The other side will save what a catastrophe for the

:12:05. > :12:07.local area. This story is saying, essentially, that the government...

:12:08. > :12:12.It's that was supported by David Cameron at the time. They have now

:12:13. > :12:16.said either stump up the cash and make it happen or just stop it now

:12:17. > :12:22.because there are people who have put in lots of money to this already

:12:23. > :12:26.and now.... They say it could be spectacular. That that is the local

:12:27. > :12:33.investors talking it up. And it is true it would generate many jobs in

:12:34. > :12:37.terms of construction but perhaps like David Cameron's career which

:12:38. > :12:45.ended up with him tweeting photos of his own feet, this may well be

:12:46. > :12:54.doomed. If that is the last we hear of him, so be it the cost of lagoon

:12:55. > :12:58.power is, to me, is its downfall. It is predicted to cost 168 megawatts

:12:59. > :13:05.per hour where is nuclear power, derided by people, is almost half

:13:06. > :13:08.the price. But then you have environmentalists who say, yes, what

:13:09. > :13:13.about the long-term consequences? And this is the problem with

:13:14. > :13:16.everything. However, a six mile seawall will cause massive

:13:17. > :13:23.environmental damage. The ecosystem is going to be destroyed. We could

:13:24. > :13:31.build a wall! What a great idea! Write-down the English Channel. I

:13:32. > :13:34.believe Donald Trump is planning to come to this country, maybe we

:13:35. > :13:40.should build across the Atlantic. If we build a wall, he can't reach it.

:13:41. > :13:45.On that note, thank you very much and we will leave it for now. Thank

:13:46. > :13:46.you for taking us through the papers. Coming up next, the film

:13:47. > :13:50.review.
