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