:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:20.With me are Alison Little, deputy political editor

:00:21. > :00:22.of the Daily Express, and the Guardian

:00:23. > :00:33.It is good to see you. The front pages.

:00:34. > :00:36.The I leads with the public inquiry into contaminated blood.

:00:37. > :00:43.The paper calls it the "worst scandal in NHS history".

:00:44. > :00:45.The news that President Trump's son was keen to accept information

:00:46. > :00:48.on Hillary Clinton from a Russian national, is the main

:00:49. > :00:52.The Telegraph has the same story, with the claim that Trump junior

:00:53. > :00:56.The Express leads with the Foreign Secretary's suggestion,

:00:57. > :00:59.that the EU can "go whistle" if it makes "extortionate" demands

:01:00. > :01:03.The Times says a parliamentary report has concluded that a joint

:01:04. > :01:08.Royal Navy and EU mission to combat people smuggling in

:01:09. > :01:17.in the Mediterranean has caused more migrants to die at sea.

:01:18. > :01:19.The aristocrat found guilty over menacing Facebook posts

:01:20. > :01:28.to the businesswoman Gina Miller, is the top story in the Metro.

:01:29. > :01:32.The mail has details of report that claims Conservative MPs were targets

:01:33. > :01:34.of hate campaign to the election. And - 'Wade to go Jo' is the Sun's

:01:35. > :01:37.back page headline - as Virginia Wade celebrates

:01:38. > :01:39.Johanna Konta making it through to the semi

:01:40. > :01:52.finals of Wimbledon. We will discuss that later. We will

:01:53. > :01:57.start with the disturbing story about the PM ordering an enquiry

:01:58. > :02:02.into NHS deaths after years of campaigning and finally the

:02:03. > :02:08.relatives of some of those who died from contaminated blood products in

:02:09. > :02:12.the 70s and 80s will get the enquiry they have been after. It has been

:02:13. > :02:16.widely welcomed and there is cross-party pressure for this

:02:17. > :02:21.enquiry, including the DUP supporting Theresa May. I do not

:02:22. > :02:26.know how significant that was in it. Blood products given by the NHS to

:02:27. > :02:31.British haemophiliacs and other patients and it turned out a lot of

:02:32. > :02:36.it to be infected with hepatitis C and HIV. Police 2400 have died and

:02:37. > :02:40.thousands more infected and families put at risk and claims the

:02:41. > :02:46.authorities knew and covered it up. And it took years before they stop

:02:47. > :02:52.the use of these products. We will have a public inquiry and the

:02:53. > :02:56.victims will be consulted on what sort of enquiry. It is very sad of

:02:57. > :03:04.course, that this goes on so long and it takes so long to get a

:03:05. > :03:09.inquiry. Almost what Theresa May does best. Another statesman-like

:03:10. > :03:13.statement issued today about it. And references back the week of the

:03:14. > :03:17.anniversary walking into Downing Street and promising to write

:03:18. > :03:22.injustices and it is significant in her statement about the need for the

:03:23. > :03:27.enquiry. She makes the point of saying, and I will seek to root out

:03:28. > :03:34.injustice wherever I find it. She has been trying to restate her

:03:35. > :03:39.mission. Does that mean we will get a inquiry into what happened at

:03:40. > :03:44.Orgreave? It could be because she is in a position where she has to do

:03:45. > :03:50.the things she can achieve and there is not much that she can achieve.

:03:51. > :03:53.There was not much of a legislative programme in the Queen's Speech.

:03:54. > :04:00.Brexit moving slowly. She can do this, it is within her power. We

:04:01. > :04:09.have the Grenfell Tower enquiry. We will have this inquiry and you may

:04:10. > :04:13.be right, there will be an Orgreave inquiry. These things are

:04:14. > :04:19.complicated because once you decide to have a inquiry you have to decide

:04:20. > :04:24.what kind of inquiry and how technical and in this case to what

:04:25. > :04:27.extent will they look at how specifically what happened as

:04:28. > :04:31.regarding the screening of these blood products and how much would it

:04:32. > :04:36.be about what happened to people? And about their experiences. There

:04:37. > :04:40.is a tension between finding out what happened and giving people a

:04:41. > :04:48.chance to tell their stories and a chance to have some element of

:04:49. > :04:53.catharsis. It seems bizarre that in those days, the blood was not

:04:54. > :05:01.screened, it was sold by people to hospitals and so one, some of those

:05:02. > :05:06.selling products were criminals. American prisoners paid for their

:05:07. > :05:10.donations. It seems bizarre it was not screened. It is about whether

:05:11. > :05:14.you accept other people'sstandards because they were obtained from

:05:15. > :05:22.elsewhere and we did not know the extent to which they screamed and we

:05:23. > :05:29.would not screening. The Telegraph newspaper talking about inquiries --

:05:30. > :05:31.which they screamed. And a federal prosecutor is looking into the

:05:32. > :05:40.possibility of collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russian

:05:41. > :05:48.officials. All of those enquiries have been given another bit of

:05:49. > :05:59.evidence. Exhibit 700 92. An e-mail between Donald Trump junior and a

:06:00. > :06:04.pop impresario from Britain. Only in America! Very weird. The pop

:06:05. > :06:09.impresario is allegedly in touch with Donald Trump's Sun and says the

:06:10. > :06:14.Russians have interesting information and might help you win

:06:15. > :06:19.the election and so what do the job team do? Do they say we are not

:06:20. > :06:23.interested because you cannot influence an election. You Russian

:06:24. > :06:27.people, we are not having that. From what we are told they had a meeting

:06:28. > :06:33.with someone acting as a go-between. It is their case they did not get

:06:34. > :06:38.any significant information from that meeting but I am not sure it

:06:39. > :06:43.will matter. Here you have senior people from Donald Trump's team who

:06:44. > :06:47.it is said went to the meeting in expectation they would get

:06:48. > :06:51.information to help them win the election and influence their

:06:52. > :06:56.selection. I think there is deep trouble. Whether it stretches to the

:06:57. > :07:01.President, I am not sure, but certainly another piece of evidence

:07:02. > :07:10.against him. I don't know if you have put your money on the bookies.

:07:11. > :07:14.Have not, but it is more of a bad smell with this fish, this rush of

:07:15. > :07:22.fish, concerning the troubled family. The front page of the Daily

:07:23. > :07:27.Telegraph says Trump Junior facing Russian treason investigation.

:07:28. > :07:36.Apparently, technically, you have to be at war for it to be treason in

:07:37. > :07:41.America. Last I looked, Russia is not at war with America, not on the

:07:42. > :07:46.face of it, maybe there is a cyber war going on, but it is about

:07:47. > :07:50.collusion and the possibility we should not be axed setting

:07:51. > :07:54.information potentially to a rival in an election campaign,

:07:55. > :08:01.particularly from a foreign power. They shouldn't. A damning quote from

:08:02. > :08:06.Trump Junior pictures from the inauguration. He got the e-mail

:08:07. > :08:12.saying he got the information and he said, I love it. Spare a thought for

:08:13. > :08:18.the journalist on the New York Times who tweeted poignantly, we have been

:08:19. > :08:23.chasing this for a year. The greatest spoiler of all time. As a

:08:24. > :08:31.journalist, I applaud and feel for him. It is a very warm family

:08:32. > :08:35.because Donald Trump said my son is a high-quality person and I applaud

:08:36. > :08:41.his transparency. What we would all say about our children. If you have

:08:42. > :08:46.a federal prosecutor like Robert Muller breathing down your neck at

:08:47. > :08:50.this stage you say very little, which is precisely why his tweets

:08:51. > :08:56.have stopped for the last, I don't know, few hours. This don't get

:08:57. > :09:05.comfortable. All rights. The express, the EU can whistle for its

:09:06. > :09:09.money. A Tory backbencher supported by Boris Johnson and the backbencher

:09:10. > :09:15.said the EU should go whistle if it wants a divorce bill that is huge.

:09:16. > :09:20.This ?85 billion. Typical performance from Boris, to cheer the

:09:21. > :09:28.troops about Brexit. The Tory MP said tell them to go whistle and

:09:29. > :09:34.Boris obliged. And he went further and said we'd do not have a plan for

:09:35. > :09:40.no deal. Emily Thornberry said have you privately got a plan, so if you

:09:41. > :09:44.are being kind to Boris he is taking that literally and whether

:09:45. > :09:50.personally he has a plan, well no. We love it in the Express because

:09:51. > :09:57.that is how we feel but probably compromise is going to have to be

:09:58. > :10:03.made and later David Davis the Brexit Secretary was giving

:10:04. > :10:08.evidence. He is seen as the calm voice. Allison, you love it at the

:10:09. > :10:15.Express but you do not love it at the Guardian! David Davis probably

:10:16. > :10:20.did not love it much either because he is conducting the negotiations.

:10:21. > :10:27.Probably had his head in his hands. He will go into the meeting and say,

:10:28. > :10:31.what Boris said... You conduct your negotiations like this. Insult the

:10:32. > :10:40.person you negotiate with as much as you can. There is the public side.

:10:41. > :10:48.And behind... It is high-stakes poker, negotiating tactics. I look

:10:49. > :11:00.at my cards and looked impassive, I do not chuck things at the person

:11:01. > :11:05.across the table. Stay calm. It will be brilliant. You assume Boris has a

:11:06. > :11:11.plan B, what if he is true to his word, taken at face value, on the

:11:12. > :11:17.Express, you would be panicking? We are not panicking. Downing Street,

:11:18. > :11:25.David Davis saying we plan for every contingency. A deal always gets

:11:26. > :11:33.done. On everything. You are comforted because Boris said so? You

:11:34. > :11:38.heard it, a deal always gets done. I think they have contingencies. They

:11:39. > :11:49.didn't for the vote, with Brexit. No rerunning of the EU referendum,

:11:50. > :11:52.please. Johanna Konta. Tipping the star to knockout Venus Williams in

:11:53. > :12:00.the semifinal. That is a big mountain to climb but what a win.

:12:01. > :12:07.Absolutely. Centre court, when they close the roof and there are British

:12:08. > :12:11.players on, it is absolutely a brilliant atmosphere. Worth a few

:12:12. > :12:17.games in itself to the player because they gets so much support.

:12:18. > :12:21.She benefited today and played extraordinarily well. I think the

:12:22. > :12:28.second time she has come back to being set down and that doesn't seem

:12:29. > :12:37.to worry her now. She showed such grit. I watched bits of it and the

:12:38. > :12:42.end. Note bass, have done work. Was just catching up. It was

:12:43. > :12:45.astonishing. We have ourselves a proper tennis player. Has Hungarian

:12:46. > :12:59.parrots, she was born -- she has Hungarian parents. She

:13:00. > :13:06.was born in Australia. There is a monitor in the middle of the desk

:13:07. > :13:12.and I can watch it. But I don't! Notes to boss. Thanks for looking at

:13:13. > :13:24.the stories behind the headlines. Goodbye.

:13:25. > :13:31.The evening, and unsettled spell of weather across England and Wales

:13:32. > :13:36.with some areas seeing over an inch of rain fall. In the south-west and

:13:37. > :13:38.across Wales, you could see it was heavy at times and
