:00:32. > :00:34.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:35. > :00:37.With me, Camilla Tominey, political editor of The Sunday Express

:00:38. > :00:40.and Jason Beattie, Head of Politics at The Daily Mirror.

:00:41. > :00:41.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:42. > :00:43.The Financial Times headlines the start of the second

:00:44. > :00:45.round of Brexit talks with a photo that triggered

:00:46. > :00:49.comments on social media about the Brexit Secretary's

:00:50. > :00:54.The i picks up on today's announcement on the route

:00:55. > :00:56.of the new high-speed rail track, HS2.

:00:57. > :00:59.The Times reports that Theresa May is being urged by cabinet ministers

:01:00. > :01:02.to sack colleagues after a string of leaks.

:01:03. > :01:05.The Metro runs with a story on rail delays, saying that arrival times

:01:06. > :01:07.will now be recorded and publicised to the minute.

:01:08. > :01:12.The Daily Telegraph picks up a report claiming that

:01:13. > :01:15.government funds for overseas aid are being wasted.

:01:16. > :01:17.The Daily Mail says that the Electoral Commission

:01:18. > :01:23.is launching an investigation into students that may

:01:24. > :01:28.The Daily Express leads with a story on a new diet that says it can beat

:01:29. > :01:35.The royal couple's trip to Poland makes The Sun's front page.

:01:36. > :01:37.The paper leads with a story claiming the Duchess of Cambridge

:01:38. > :01:52.HS2, Jason, if so controversial, very expensive and we heard today,

:01:53. > :01:57.very sad for people who were living in new homes that will be

:01:58. > :02:05.demolished. Yes, the route has been changed again. Is it worth money and

:02:06. > :02:12.is it the route we need? The idea when it was first unveiled, it would

:02:13. > :02:17.be good for connectivity between the North and south, a lot of people in

:02:18. > :02:22.the North said what we really want is an East-West connection, that is

:02:23. > :02:28.where the big gaps are in transport and then you have this extraordinary

:02:29. > :02:33.cost, some people say 100 million, Chris Grayling the Transport

:02:34. > :02:36.Secretary says it will not be that must but we have experience of these

:02:37. > :02:41.things going over budget and now this disruption where the route

:02:42. > :02:46.which was going to go through Doncaster will now go through Max

:02:47. > :02:51.Boro, you understand why people will be distraught. It would be hard to

:02:52. > :02:59.build any major infrastructure projects without destroying some

:03:00. > :03:03.homes. We know Chris Grayling is infrastructure are heavy and likes

:03:04. > :03:08.these big projects and when it comes to the north and HS2, a lot of our

:03:09. > :03:15.leaders are sick of all roads leading to London, HS2 is going from

:03:16. > :03:18.London but if there is more connectivity between Northern

:03:19. > :03:24.cities, it can redress the balance of power, but a lot of villages in

:03:25. > :03:28.Britain don't even have high-speed broadband, and you wonder about this

:03:29. > :03:33.new world where we are on our phones late at night, it might be better

:03:34. > :03:37.for some people in this age of working from home if their internet

:03:38. > :03:45.links were improved rather than the rail links. The Metro, a story about

:03:46. > :03:52.delays and something to cheer up rail passengers? Yes and no. We will

:03:53. > :04:00.get more information about why the train is late. Does that help hold

:04:01. > :04:04.the company to account? We have technology now which can tell you

:04:05. > :04:09.what time your train will arrive and how late it will be that the

:04:10. > :04:13.compensation will not change, companies still only have to pay

:04:14. > :04:21.compensation if your train is more than 30 minutes late, so people will

:04:22. > :04:27.say, Southern Railway trains are frequently late, if you can measure

:04:28. > :04:34.how bad it will be why can't companies not pay more easily? Why

:04:35. > :04:37.can they not pay like on London Underground her efforts more than 15

:04:38. > :04:44.minutes late you can go online and get it repaid with no questions?

:04:45. > :04:51.Sometimes you can't be enough privately operated trains and not

:04:52. > :04:55.find out for half an hour. Private companies are rightly getting bad

:04:56. > :05:00.press because they are not fit for purpose for commuters are paying

:05:01. > :05:05.more money for the service to be either stood in the crowded carriage

:05:06. > :05:16.or on the platform waiting for no train to arrive. We will find

:05:17. > :05:22.something. Brexit talks have begun again, second round of talks, David

:05:23. > :05:27.Davis and his team in Brussels and the FT have that picture where there

:05:28. > :05:32.doesn't seem to be a lot of paperwork on the side of the British

:05:33. > :05:38.but David Davis was there to kick things off and then led it to his

:05:39. > :05:44.team of officials. He hadn't got his paperwork bout of his bullet-proof

:05:45. > :05:49.bag but Michel Barnier looking serious because they have massive

:05:50. > :05:55.dossiers. I don't know if they had their paperwork out or he was

:05:56. > :05:59.winning it. You could look at this picture and sake if you are a

:06:00. > :06:06.Brexiteers this proved so much bureaucracy you get and the other

:06:07. > :06:10.way is to say the optics are terrible, if the central charge for

:06:11. > :06:16.David Davis is that you haven't done the detail and against experienced

:06:17. > :06:20.negotiators, quite a lay yourself to be pictured in a situation like this

:06:21. > :06:26.and reinforcing what is seen as your weakness? There are now 98 British

:06:27. > :06:33.officials in Brussels negotiating this. It is weird that they are

:06:34. > :06:39.going there and coming back because they are having this technical

:06:40. > :06:45.period that he probably doesn't like hanging around in Brussels

:06:46. > :06:50.unnecessarily. I would have thought Brussels is anathema to most

:06:51. > :06:57.Brexiteers. The split within the Cabinet, Brexit is a part of that

:06:58. > :07:04.but we have had rumblings for days, according to The Times, May one to

:07:05. > :07:16.sack donkey ministers. Where has this come from? Theresa May is going

:07:17. > :07:21.to tell Cabinet tomorrow to stop, I wonder if she will be going to

:07:22. > :07:30.Magaluf and say they have had too many beers, you have this Tory party

:07:31. > :07:36.with this vortex of borrowing over Brexit, a Prime Minister who doesn't

:07:37. > :07:42.have the clout to assert her control and then this jostling for positions

:07:43. > :07:49.as being the next in line to take over and they are in this death

:07:50. > :07:57.spiral and I cannot see an easy way out, they will reflect on how better

:07:58. > :08:03.to get rid of her. There is rivalry for the leadership but also

:08:04. > :08:08.important political questions, Brexit and austerity, dividing the

:08:09. > :08:15.Cabinet? And I think Jason's description could apply to the

:08:16. > :08:19.Labour Party, it is all tricky and I think Theresa May is grateful for

:08:20. > :08:25.the timing that this is her last Cabinet meeting and she will not be

:08:26. > :08:29.subject to more links, although the timetable of Brexit is the only

:08:30. > :08:33.thing that carries us through the summer, Jason and I wondering what

:08:34. > :08:38.the recess will bring after this frantic period but I imagine

:08:39. > :08:45.briefings will continue and they will not be able to resist. The

:08:46. > :08:51.Daily Telegraph have a story about overseas aid money which they say is

:08:52. > :08:58.being wasted. We must use the word wasted very carefully. It is a

:08:59. > :09:00.detailed report and is full of praise for the Department for

:09:01. > :09:07.International Development, it says it has done better but there was a

:09:08. > :09:11.habit of it coming to the end of a financial year and then rushing

:09:12. > :09:17.through spending to meet its target. The government has bred the

:09:18. > :09:21.development budget among other departments and it is the other

:09:22. > :09:27.departments who have a smaller share of the budget and are now spending

:09:28. > :09:31.their money on the deadline. The argument is not that money is being

:09:32. > :09:37.wasted, international aid is a good thing, but the fact that Treasury

:09:38. > :09:42.imposes deadline so you have to rush money through and that is

:09:43. > :09:48.unnecessary. It's a good thing if we know where it's going, this strikes

:09:49. > :09:53.me as a macro Virgin of when all the roads in your area are closed

:09:54. > :09:59.because the council has decided to spend its last pot of cash filling

:10:00. > :10:04.holes that don't exist. Even if this is spread across departments, people

:10:05. > :10:07.are saying we have to spend and if you rush things through you make

:10:08. > :10:16.mistakes and money goes to the wrong people. The Daily Mail have stories

:10:17. > :10:25.about students who voted for Jeremy Corbyn, two votes for Jeremy Corbyn.

:10:26. > :10:29.Peter Brown and Andrew other backbench MPs rates concerns with

:10:30. > :10:36.Andrea Leadsom that students could register in their university town

:10:37. > :10:42.and then go home, that timing a month later than normal, Jean meant

:10:43. > :10:48.students had gone home. Jason has experience of this because your

:10:49. > :10:55.daughter, you were telling me she was easily able to register twice.

:10:56. > :11:03.She only registered -- only voted once, it was easy to register twice.

:11:04. > :11:09.Apparently there was a vote -- there was an app that told you where your

:11:10. > :11:13.vote would be more useful. The Electoral Commission site there is

:11:14. > :11:22.no evidence of widespread abuse, they have received complaints. You

:11:23. > :11:26.have one central register to vote site but 381 different election

:11:27. > :11:32.counter faces so there needs to be joining up which could prevent this.

:11:33. > :11:42.Middle-class dementia cases halt the growth of longer life. What is

:11:43. > :11:45.surprising about this, we are living longer and are now saying that is

:11:46. > :11:53.being reversed, possibly because of dementia. Everyone wants a long and

:11:54. > :12:00.happy life but at some point there has to be a limit of how long you

:12:01. > :12:10.can live. Read don't all want to be 120. One day we might be. God for

:12:11. > :12:17.bed. All the papers have pictures of young Prince George, a bit of

:12:18. > :12:23.reluctant Prince, reluctant in Warsaw, he didn't want to get off

:12:24. > :12:28.the plane. We're expecting this child at the age of three to stop

:12:29. > :12:33.performing, it's a tricky one. When you have children on a flight, that

:12:34. > :12:39.is one thing, I know Jason and others have concerns. If I was

:12:40. > :12:45.dressed like that I would be reluctant to appear in public. There

:12:46. > :12:51.is nothing with children were very wrong socks and I interviewed

:12:52. > :12:56.children's designer, who says it here there in an official

:12:57. > :13:00.engagement, be it a christening or Trooping the Colour, they cannot

:13:01. > :13:09.turn up in a grubby T-shirt and denims. But is it a bit young? It

:13:10. > :13:14.comes as a whole package, the same reason you take dresses for meetings

:13:15. > :13:22.and the Prime Minister doesn't turn up cameras. Are they too young to be

:13:23. > :13:26.taken on a royal trip like this macro iodate to young to be left at

:13:27. > :13:35.home while their parents go around the world? This is a trade visit and

:13:36. > :13:39.they are props. That is a bit of a republicanism. I think the Duchess

:13:40. > :13:51.doesn't want to leave them for a long time, they want to be hands-on

:13:52. > :13:54.parents. Thank you both, Camelot and Jason. That is it from The Papers.
