:00:09. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:22. > :00:30.With me are Susie Boniface, columnist at The Mirror,
:00:31. > :00:33.The Telegraph says people will be able to use voice mail and text
:00:34. > :00:36.messages to make their wills under a proposed radical overhaul
:00:37. > :00:42.The I says there's been a pensions victory for gay couples,
:00:43. > :00:47.after a former Calvary Officer won a Supreme Court case
:00:48. > :00:49.for his partner to receive payments following his death.
:00:50. > :00:52.The Metro also headlines the story, suggesting the ruling could open
:00:53. > :00:56.the floodgates on hundreds of millions of pounds of claims.
:00:57. > :00:59.The Times claims that internet giant Google has paid British and American
:01:00. > :01:01.academics millions of dollars for research that it hoped
:01:02. > :01:09.would sway public opinion in support of the tech behemoth.
:01:10. > :01:15.The Mirror splashes that the Royal Navy will source 65%
:01:16. > :01:17.its steel from Sweden to build eight new battleships, much
:01:18. > :01:24.The Guardian writes that the Prime Minister is facing
:01:25. > :01:27.a revolt from Labour on Brexit, specifically her Great Repeal Bill,
:01:28. > :01:28.if there aren't concessions on workers' rights.
:01:29. > :01:33.The Sun leads with Johanna Konta's success at Wimbledon and it has
:01:34. > :01:37.an exclusive interview with the Prime Minister,
:01:38. > :01:46.in which she asks for enough time in Number Ten to complete Brexit.
:01:47. > :01:56.Pensions victory for gay couples. Landmark ruling means the couples
:01:57. > :02:01.have the same rights. We have civil partnerships, gay marriage, why has
:02:02. > :02:05.it taken so long? You may ask that. That is what this former cavalry
:02:06. > :02:10.officer was asking. Spending years, and lawyers racking up bills are
:02:11. > :02:17.millions of pounds, including government lawyers fighting this,
:02:18. > :02:21.and pension companies. Though we had civil partnerships, and gay marriage
:02:22. > :02:25.introduced by the Coalition Government in 2010. If you have a
:02:26. > :02:31.civil partnership or gay marriage after those dates, with a pension
:02:32. > :02:38.part built up before those dates. In the 90s, your new legal spouse could
:02:39. > :02:40.not receive that pension. I think I'm right in saying if you decided
:02:41. > :02:45.to make the beneficiary on the pension documents, it would go to
:02:46. > :02:51.them. In terms of it automatically going to your legal spouse, taking
:02:52. > :02:57.in account, not legally possible. In a country where the government of
:02:58. > :02:59.the day has introduced gay marriage, where previous governments have
:03:00. > :03:05.introduced civil partnerships, you would think it would be fairly
:03:06. > :03:08.obvious at the same time you would cross the Tees, dot the eyes, and
:03:09. > :03:17.say you inherit your dead spouse's pension. Who else would it go to?
:03:18. > :03:19.Obviously something where finance companies have put their heels in.
:03:20. > :03:25.It will cost them a lot of money? It It will cost them a lot of money? It
:03:26. > :03:32.should do. This is money someone has built up over their lifetime for
:03:33. > :03:37.their family to inherit over the end of the policy. Someone to get a
:03:38. > :03:40.pension can it ever so spouse of the same sex, they should be able to
:03:41. > :03:47.leave it to them. Whether you choose to. We are all agreed on that one.
:03:48. > :03:54.Not a very good argument so far. You did say you are willing to argue
:03:55. > :03:59.with yourself. I will try. Another aspect of the whole story, in the
:04:00. > :04:03.FT, the pension changes George Osborne brought in when he said
:04:04. > :04:08.pensioners could draw down any amount of the pension they chose to,
:04:09. > :04:13.without buying annuity from a a few years ago, they have all started
:04:14. > :04:18.doing it. Shoots worry and concern. The pension pots are disappearing.
:04:19. > :04:23.Daily Telegraph. Draw up your will in a text message. Law Commission
:04:24. > :04:29.says outdated system of inheritance and must catch up with the digital
:04:30. > :04:35.age. Like Alan Partridge walking around the Travelodge. The trouble
:04:36. > :04:39.with this, you need to update the inheritance and will system. I have
:04:40. > :04:44.had to update mine, I have a daughter. Gone through the process
:04:45. > :04:47.of having written, which took a couple of hours of conversation with
:04:48. > :04:52.alloy offers not something you can do with a text message. Go through
:04:53. > :05:00.your paperwork. Best will in the world! You have to work out your
:05:01. > :05:04.debts. I have not signed it off, costs three in Japan is for a very
:05:05. > :05:12.simple will. I have been spending money on the star. The idea is, it
:05:13. > :05:15.will have legal voracity admissible, legally watertight, you can do all
:05:16. > :05:21.of this in a text message and leave it. Not legally watertight. What
:05:22. > :05:34.they're trying to do, someone at the end of their life in hospital, more
:05:35. > :05:37.able to speak, type, then right. -- than writing. If you were to
:05:38. > :05:42.communicate another fashion, it would have legal basis was the Law
:05:43. > :05:46.Commission said it could add to family arguments. People would start
:05:47. > :05:50.churning things up. A well written in the traditional manner six years
:05:51. > :05:54.before you got ill, on your deathbed a change of heart, sending a text
:05:55. > :05:57.message to your wife saying you cannot have anything can you have
:05:58. > :06:03.not visited me enough, I'm living it to the dog same. Comparing a text
:06:04. > :06:08.message to a voice mail with a well written six years ago in a normal
:06:09. > :06:11.fashion. Causing chaos. You have to update the process, find their way
:06:12. > :06:16.to make it not cost three edge of pounds for a simple will. My lawyer
:06:17. > :06:21.was telling me most people do not update their wills. People have not
:06:22. > :06:25.updated their will for years. Not when they have got divorced,
:06:26. > :06:32.children, ten years past. They do it once and leave it. When they die,
:06:33. > :06:39.ups and downs. The scope for abuse is huge. If you can make a change,
:06:40. > :06:45.potentially on a phone first a text message. How do you prove the
:06:46. > :06:50.deceased person made it? One other proposal, lowering the age from 18,
:06:51. > :07:01.down to 16. What is a 16-year-old going to leave? Debts. Leaving
:07:02. > :07:04.behind your student debt. At 16. Continuing with the Daily Telegraph,
:07:05. > :07:09.lack of leadership putting Brexit talks at risk says a watchdog. We
:07:10. > :07:19.heard what the chief negotiator for the EU said. He is hearing the clock
:07:20. > :07:24.ticking. En us leaving Brexit. The European Union. We have not got
:07:25. > :07:29.anything discussed. National Audit Office producing reports saying we
:07:30. > :07:35.could not even get a plan out of the Brexit people. They could not give
:07:36. > :07:41.us any reasons. You have a departmental government. If you tap
:07:42. > :07:45.it apart like chocolate Orange. Basically between the lines, because
:07:46. > :07:52.Theresa May is lacking leadership herself. Brexit is lacking
:07:53. > :07:58.leadership. Some issues in the white departments. Everyone is lacking
:07:59. > :08:04.leadership, there is a Prime Minister, as we get to the Sun,
:08:05. > :08:10.hanging below the water line. How will she have power, negotiating and
:08:11. > :08:19.get us through Brexit. From picture of the Sun, nice move, let me do
:08:20. > :08:25.Brexit. Theresa May appealing for more time to get us through this.
:08:26. > :08:30.She is the Prime Minister, she should deserve this. She did get
:08:31. > :08:35.13.5 million votes. She has had to tear up the manifesto. She has
:08:36. > :08:46.already lost her mandate, you could argue. Everything in the text of
:08:47. > :08:56.this interview, done by Tom Newton Dunn. Seems to have stalled, she had
:08:57. > :09:02.the flashy wheel going around. She says even calling a snap election,
:09:03. > :09:06.she does not regret it. Even though it is left Britain tumultuous,
:09:07. > :09:19.Brexit clueless, and her unable to govern. She can see why some people
:09:20. > :09:24.say that, did not quite go to plan. Doing his best to hold serve further
:09:25. > :09:27.under the water line, Liam Fox. Saying privately, she has made it
:09:28. > :09:32.impossible for him to negotiate properly. If she stays in place for
:09:33. > :09:38.them next two years, as she is saying, the poor woman will get
:09:39. > :09:46.blamed for everything. Who is she talking to? Who knows. The Sun
:09:47. > :09:51.readership are not going to change in that opinion of Theresa May. Good
:09:52. > :09:57.or bad. Must be talking to backbench MPs, begging them for time. They'll
:09:58. > :10:02.be a Tory party conference in October, where she will be walking
:10:03. > :10:05.into a bearpit, feels a conservative activists, constituency chairmen.
:10:06. > :10:11.People who've had a tough time on the doorstep, if she does not do
:10:12. > :10:17.better than this before October she will get eaten alive. I doubt the
:10:18. > :10:23.Tories will allow that. They are saying they need and want to stick
:10:24. > :10:30.with her. David Davis says there is no need for a contest. Google pays
:10:31. > :10:35.academics millions for key support in British and American researchers.
:10:36. > :10:38.Good bit of investigative reporting. Showing scientists who have done
:10:39. > :10:46.studies into the effects of Google, how it operates. The tech companies.
:10:47. > :10:49.They seem to have been funded by Google, not declaring the fact they
:10:50. > :10:55.pay for the research. I was speaking to scientists. If you want to do a
:10:56. > :11:03.speck of this piece of research. I want to prove why you are good for
:11:04. > :11:14.health. You cannot get funding. You would have to fund it, saying I have
:11:15. > :11:23.the money for it. The scientists do not get to choose what the study. It
:11:24. > :11:29.shows Clive Mhairi will put 15 years you're like the watch him every day.
:11:30. > :11:34.The science, which could still be true, it could narrow the focus down
:11:35. > :11:39.to one bit. Makes the fund findings more significant. All BBC
:11:40. > :11:43.newsreaders are good for health of you watch them all. For example.
:11:44. > :11:49.That is a problem with funding this research. Narrow. We will have to
:11:50. > :11:54.leave it there. We know that watching news channel is good for
:11:55. > :11:58.your health. Thank you so much for taking and running the show. It has
:11:59. > :12:00.been brilliant. For you watching, you can see the front pages of all
:12:01. > :12:04.the newspapers online. It's all there for you seven days
:12:05. > :12:06.a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. And if you miss the programme any
:12:07. > :12:10.evening you can watch it
