:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:35.Even women can do it, that is relevant and Aaron. -- relevant and

:00:36. > :00:38.current. With me are Caroline Crampton from

:00:39. > :00:40.The New Statesman and Lynn Davidson, Whitehall Correspondent

:00:41. > :00:43.with the Sun. The Times leads with the rise

:00:44. > :00:46.in acid attacks and suggests that anti-knife crime laws might be

:00:47. > :00:48.harnessed to combat the sale of corrosive

:00:49. > :00:50.substances to under 18s. The Guardian has new research

:00:51. > :00:52.which it claims highlights the financial divide

:00:53. > :00:54.between the generations. The Daily Mail has a warning

:00:55. > :00:56.for drivers hiring cars abroad with excess charges for damaged cars

:00:57. > :00:58.now averaging over The FT reports on the fortunes

:00:59. > :01:02.of two major US Banks which are facing a drop in revenues

:01:03. > :01:05.- the front page photo shows one of those extended handshakes

:01:06. > :01:07.between Presidents Trump The treatment of Charlie Gard,

:01:08. > :01:11.the baby at the centre of a court dispute over his care makes

:01:12. > :01:13.the front of the 'i'. And the same story is on the front

:01:14. > :01:17.of the Daily Mirror - an American doctor is flying

:01:18. > :01:25.in to discuss a new therapy Let's begin with the story about the

:01:26. > :01:32.knife crime laws to halt acid attacks. Headlines in the Times,

:01:33. > :01:39.ministers act after five new victims in east London. These incidents are

:01:40. > :01:46.increasing. It is a particular concern to the police. It is. The

:01:47. > :01:56.figures in the story, 183 in 2012-13. 524 in 2016-17. The problem

:01:57. > :02:00.for the police and Home Office, as one person says, these are chemicals

:02:01. > :02:05.which most people can find under the kitchen sink. Hard to introduce a

:02:06. > :02:10.licence. Controls about carrying them, as they did with knife crime

:02:11. > :02:14.when that spiked a few years ago. The authorities are in a bind. You

:02:15. > :02:21.cannot prove because someone is carrying acid there is any intent.

:02:22. > :02:27.Stephen Timms, the MP for East Ham who was attacked in his constituency

:02:28. > :02:30.some years ago. He will be debating on Monday in Parliament, pushing for

:02:31. > :02:35.a change in the law, so that carrying acid is the same is

:02:36. > :02:42.carrying a knife. If you have a knife wrapped up, bought it from the

:02:43. > :02:46.shops, it is an offence. If you can prove intent. If someone has

:02:47. > :02:50.sulphuric acid, which they may be taking time to unblock the drain,

:02:51. > :02:54.but if there is evidence of intent, they can be charged with a serious

:02:55. > :03:00.offence. What we discovered talking to a QC, there are laws from

:03:01. > :03:05.Victorian times which mention corrosive substances like vitriol.

:03:06. > :03:10.There are laws like GBH with intent, using a corrosive substance. Maybe

:03:11. > :03:17.those laws may be used if people are called. Interestingly legal

:03:18. > :03:20.precedent goes back that far, showing this is not a new

:03:21. > :03:27.phenomenon. Corrosive liquids as a weapon has been around for as long

:03:28. > :03:31.as corrosive liquids. It is finding the balance between cracking down on

:03:32. > :03:38.people doing household chores, versus people causing serious harm.

:03:39. > :03:43.Top US doctor flying in to see Charlie Gard. The parents of this

:03:44. > :03:50.little boy in the High Court again. They have been there all week. To

:03:51. > :03:54.win a chance to get this numerology may have an experimental treatment

:03:55. > :03:59.which could help. Everyone involved and this is in an impossible

:04:00. > :04:02.position. They are, the staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital and to

:04:03. > :04:06.provide the best care for the child. The parents want to give their child

:04:07. > :04:11.every chance of survival. I'm sure this expert wants to offer the same

:04:12. > :04:17.thing. But it seems like they are competing interests, competing

:04:18. > :04:22.evidence. So difficult to settle that and see that clearly in such an

:04:23. > :04:26.emotive case. A sensible ethical solution, they are calling for.

:04:27. > :04:32.Whether that turns out to be the case, we don't know. This professor

:04:33. > :04:38.arguing that this experimental therapy he can offer can give 10%

:04:39. > :04:43.improvement for Charlie's condition. This is a baby that cannot see or

:04:44. > :04:50.hear or move or swallow or even breathe on its own. It is very

:04:51. > :04:53.emotive for everyone involved. Some of the staff working at the

:04:54. > :05:00.hospital, they just want the best for little Charlie. So appalling,

:05:01. > :05:03.when you think great Ormond 's reaches so world-renowned. Everybody

:05:04. > :05:07.working for the best of all the patients they are trying to treat.

:05:08. > :05:13.Let's look at the Guardian. Campaigning headline. Divided UK,

:05:14. > :05:21.the rich thrive, the under 35 struggle. What is new about the

:05:22. > :05:27.report? Repeating quite a lot about it. Not reading anything that any of

:05:28. > :05:38.us did not know already. We know that people earning ?275,000 or more

:05:39. > :05:45.than recover quickly any recession. The other 99% of the population, we

:05:46. > :05:48.know under 35 is which many of whom supported Labour, the just about

:05:49. > :05:55.managing under 35 is, that's a reason may want to support by

:05:56. > :06:00.overhaul housing. Incomes are the top people take a others didn't. A

:06:01. > :06:06.big challenge facing us is divided Britain. Does it offer any

:06:07. > :06:09.solutions? It does not, outlining what we have been talking about as

:06:10. > :06:15.the background to every political event since the referendum. To be

:06:16. > :06:19.honest, before that. This idea how you vote these days is better

:06:20. > :06:25.predicted by whether you own a home or not than any other factor. The

:06:26. > :06:30.average age at which you can own a home is steadily getting higher and

:06:31. > :06:36.higher. Meaning that people in their 40s, maybe 20, 30 years ago would

:06:37. > :06:41.have made the switch from Labour to conservative which comes with

:06:42. > :06:45.greater stability are not making that anymore. The issue housing came

:06:46. > :06:49.up quite a lot in the election. Even though it was supposed to be about

:06:50. > :06:54.Brexit. The fact that so few people can afford to buy a house was such

:06:55. > :07:00.an issue. Fundamentally what you want in this country. We are

:07:01. > :07:02.programmed to want it. People not getting on a housing ladder is not

:07:03. > :07:09.good news, particularly not good news for the Tory party. The issue

:07:10. > :07:14.with a triple lock, which the Tories did not, and Labour wanted to hold

:07:15. > :07:21.onto. The redistribution of wealth, he held at the top, the older

:07:22. > :07:24.generation, not trickling down. There will be many people saying

:07:25. > :07:30.there are a lot of pensioners struggling. Difficult to make

:07:31. > :07:35.sweeping statements. It is indeed. More evidence and more grass cannot

:07:36. > :07:41.hurt. We like grass, even though quite difficult to see. Maybe that

:07:42. > :07:45.is my eyesight. The FT, hands-on approach. President is joining

:07:46. > :07:50.forces for the Bastille Day parade in Paris. Donald and Emmanuelle in

:07:51. > :07:55.their best friends. Loaded with symbolism. 100 years since the

:07:56. > :08:01.American forces during the First World War, Bastille Day, France

:08:02. > :08:07.looking at its very best for this holiday. Two great revolutionary

:08:08. > :08:12.republics. Throwing off the shackles of oppression at the same time in

:08:13. > :08:16.the 18th century. Dating anyone would have imagined this from

:08:17. > :08:20.America coming ever to meet this president in France. Two astonishing

:08:21. > :08:27.political stories in their own right. Two male egos on display in

:08:28. > :08:30.these last few weeks. As the FT displays with this very firm

:08:31. > :08:34.handshake. You can see white knuckles. Interesting to see how

:08:35. > :08:40.long that handshake would have been helpful. How long for Donald to let

:08:41. > :08:44.go. Still not as uncomfortable as the first time they met, when they

:08:45. > :08:49.seem to be arm wrestling. They have really put on a show for him. Dinner

:08:50. > :08:54.in the Eiffel Tower last night. A lot of commentators saying, well,

:08:55. > :08:58.you can make you feel welcome it, he will not look or feel so isolated.

:08:59. > :09:04.Unexpectedly mentioning maybe America will rethink whether we stay

:09:05. > :09:11.inside the Paris climate accord. Quite amusing how Donald Trump

:09:12. > :09:21.mispronounced his name. Like was Scottish or something. That the

:09:22. > :09:27.suggestion was made tactfully and diplomatically that there may be

:09:28. > :09:30.movement. Macron saying he would not meddle in another country's affairs.

:09:31. > :09:35.Some of those affairs following into Europe. The talk all week about the

:09:36. > :09:39.meeting his son had with the Russians. Now we learn today there

:09:40. > :09:44.was a former Russian intelligence officer part of that meeting. Going

:09:45. > :09:48.to be very difficult when he gets back home. Completely astonishing.

:09:49. > :09:54.Revelation after revelation coming out. The investigation has not

:09:55. > :10:01.properly got under way. All of this stuff is coming out. If we have

:10:02. > :10:06.learned anything from the presidency of Donald Trump, the more terrible

:10:07. > :10:10.things that come out, the more immunity seems to be. On a world

:10:11. > :10:17.tour seeming totally unruffled by the fact his own family is the

:10:18. > :10:20.subject of a serious litigation. He said it was a fast meeting, anyone

:10:21. > :10:25.would have taken it. Page nine of the Daily Mail. Secondary schools to

:10:26. > :10:34.have 500,000 more pupils in the next ten years. We have known, not a

:10:35. > :10:39.similar story. We had known about the baby boom fuelled by migration.

:10:40. > :10:45.We now have the numbers. The issue at the moment, we seem to have a

:10:46. > :10:50.funding wise, Justin Greening, the Education Secretary asking for extra

:10:51. > :10:57.funding. We had known about this for some years, the primary school bulge

:10:58. > :11:04.in population moving to secondary schools. We are short of teachers.

:11:05. > :11:10.The combination is a difficult one. Looking at places like Birmingham,

:11:11. > :11:22.70,000 people in Birmingham giving to school is not near them. This

:11:23. > :11:25.report yesterday, very difficult. Talking about hundreds of foreign

:11:26. > :11:31.teachers to be recruited to fill the gap. Foreign teachers means more

:11:32. > :11:36.immigration, which we're trying to keep on top of. As the Prime

:11:37. > :11:40.Minister repeatedly said, we need to get the net migration targets in

:11:41. > :11:44.place. They will have to introduce exemption for teachers. Essential

:11:45. > :11:49.services, similar story with essential NHS workers. Many of them

:11:50. > :11:54.come from outside Britain. The health service would collapse

:11:55. > :12:00.without them. Part of the problem, which is not the main focus of this

:12:01. > :12:04.story. The issue of teacher's pay. Why young British graduates are not

:12:05. > :12:07.interested in joining the teaching profession. Or joining it, or

:12:08. > :12:11.leaving within five years. Not staying with it for their whole

:12:12. > :12:16.life. Pain conditions were not great. The number of teachers

:12:17. > :12:18.standing as candidates against the Conservatives in the election

:12:19. > :12:23.demonstrating the scale of the problem the Conservatives have on

:12:24. > :12:28.that front. The advantage of being able to control migration means you

:12:29. > :12:30.can target specific teachers. Physics or chemistry teacher

:12:31. > :12:36.shortages you can recruit them individually. That is the theory. If

:12:37. > :12:45.they come upon a way of implementing it. The Sun, oh, dear. Even a woman

:12:46. > :12:50.could do that says the Chancellor. Tell us how he drops of this

:12:51. > :12:55.clanger. Philip Hammond, in trouble before for making sexist comments

:12:56. > :13:01.earlier this year. Sparking a storm by saying in a private cabinet

:13:02. > :13:07.meeting that driving trains is so easy even a woman can do it.

:13:08. > :13:13.Apparently subject to a withering slapped down by the Prime Minister.

:13:14. > :13:17.Who, as we well know, does not like men complaining or making comments

:13:18. > :13:27.about women. Not that she does not like men. Full stop. Do you think he

:13:28. > :13:32.forgot his boss was a woman? Is it so deeply ingrained, does not matter

:13:33. > :13:35.who is in charge. Or he genuinely believes, that some men holding

:13:36. > :13:40.opinions like this, the intelligent women they know of anyone category,

:13:41. > :13:44.and womankind as a whole is in another category. I'm very

:13:45. > :13:49.interested on how it came to be on the front of the sun. This is a

:13:50. > :13:54.private cabinet meeting. Someone has chosen to share the details. I

:13:55. > :13:59.wonder who could that have been. You will not tell us. What we have to

:14:00. > :14:07.look at now. The inner movements of the Cabinet. Philip Hammond has

:14:08. > :14:11.renewed power within the Cabinet. Whether he has been flexing his

:14:12. > :14:14.muscles, you might assume, by making these comments. Earlier he said to

:14:15. > :14:18.the Labour MP in the chamber accusing her of the hysterical when

:14:19. > :14:23.she asked a question about how businesses in Ireland fare after

:14:24. > :14:28.breakfast. He said he would urge her not to be in hysterical. He got into

:14:29. > :14:32.trouble for that. Another comedy has made. I would suggest there is no

:14:33. > :14:40.doubt he did make it. Absolutely no doubt. His track record will not

:14:41. > :14:47.helping. A picture of a female train driver called Pauline, quite rightly

:14:48. > :14:54.angry on page four. Theresa May had a month to lick their wounds. It is

:14:55. > :14:57.her getting her strength back. The Daily Mail has a timely warning

:14:58. > :15:06.before the main summer holidays starting. ?2200 summer car hire

:15:07. > :15:12.rip-off. Large bills if you crunch the hire car. Anyone who has ever

:15:13. > :15:14.hired a car for a holiday and experience the sinking feeling, you

:15:15. > :15:18.thought you got a good deal booking in advance, standing by the desk.

:15:19. > :15:23.They say would you like to take the extra protection, you ask what that

:15:24. > :15:32.involves. Just an extra ?16 a day, we can charge you to grand if you

:15:33. > :15:37.hit a lamp post. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I had better pay the

:15:38. > :15:42.extra. It is a classic male free summer holiday story. If there isn't

:15:43. > :15:47.it an outrage that car companies are able to do this. Hiking up the

:15:48. > :15:52.charges, not fair on holiday-makers. Other things you may want sat there,

:15:53. > :15:55.child booster seat. It is stressful when you drive out of the airport,

:15:56. > :16:02.which way to go round the roundabout. We see this story year

:16:03. > :16:08.after year. Putting pressure on the car hire firms paying very little

:16:09. > :16:12.attention clearly. Families facing mounting costs for giving on

:16:13. > :16:19.holiday. Does not help. Public service announcement from the

:16:20. > :16:23.presenter. You can go online and buy yourself ?35 for the year and excess

:16:24. > :16:28.insurance policy covering you for all excess charges for any car you

:16:29. > :16:33.may hire in Europe. Or anywhere else in the world. For the whole year.

:16:34. > :16:41.Never ever need to say yet again to those questions at the desk. Top

:16:42. > :16:49.tip. Use them, they're very good. Finally the back page of the

:16:50. > :16:53.Telegraph. Elegance. A little while to speak about this extraordinary

:16:54. > :16:59.man, Roger Federer. One match away from claiming his eighth Wimbledon

:17:00. > :17:06.title. 21 Grand Slam finals. 35. Relevant in this context. He has

:17:07. > :17:10.been up against younger players. He has seen them all. Different players

:17:11. > :17:14.plagued by injury. He has made an amazing comeback from injury this

:17:15. > :17:21.season. Matchless elegance is a good phrase. Not a big baseline it's like

:17:22. > :17:26.Nadal or Djokovic, or some of the other players. He lacks finesse, to

:17:27. > :17:32.come into the net. He likes to put on a show. He has so many fans.

:17:33. > :17:38.Marin Cilic will hear them cheering on Centre Court. Hugely popular. A

:17:39. > :17:41.class act. Now Andy Murray is no longer in the frame sadly, we know

:17:42. > :17:46.where we will be shouting for. Don't forget you can see the front

:17:47. > :17:48.pages of the papers online Thank you Caroline

:17:49. > :18:18.and Lynn - Goodbye Coming up next, the weather. You

:18:19. > :18:23.know what, the weather this weekend is not looking perfect. Going

:18:24. > :18:27.downhill at the moment. There will be some, as I like to call it,

:18:28. > :18:28.windows of opportunity. Amongst the rain,
