Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18.:00:20.

With me are Laura Hughes of the Daily Telegraph

:00:21.:00:24.

Thank you both for coming, we are paying you as much as I male

:00:25.:00:32.

reviewers, don't fret. Controversial but you have to laugh at don't you?

:00:33.:00:36.

The Telegraph reports on calls by the Transport Secretary to ditch

:00:37.:00:39.

first class compartments on crowded commuter trains.

:00:40.:00:40.

And it has a new photo of Prince George - released

:00:41.:00:43.

The Guardian says Interpol has circulated a list

:00:44.:00:46.

of Islamic State fighters it believes could be trained to carry

:00:47.:00:49.

It also features on its front page Lady Hale, the new president

:00:50.:00:55.

The weekend edition of the FT reports on a probe

:00:56.:01:02.

into pension transfers after concern that some people cashing

:01:03.:01:04.

in their final salary pensions may be getting unsuitable advice.

:01:05.:01:10.

The Times claims hard-left Labour supporters

:01:11.:01:12.

are plotting to oust Tom Watson as the party's deputy leader -

:01:13.:01:15.

and replace him with the Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily

:01:16.:01:17.

On its front page, The Daily Mail reports that

:01:18.:01:20.

Labour MPs are urging women to boycott Boots over

:01:21.:01:22.

its refusal to cut the cost of the morning-after pill.

:01:23.:01:25.

of an illegal immigrant who walked free from court after he burst

:01:26.:01:29.

into a church and threatened to kill English people.

:01:30.:01:33.

at the BBC have been promised better wages to stay quiet

:01:34.:01:38.

And the Sun has news that Pudsey the dancing dog -

:01:39.:01:48.

made famous on Britain's Got Talent - has died.

:01:49.:01:54.

Let's begin, shall we? What a week. Let's begin with the Telegraph. "

:01:55.:02:02.

The line for first class. This is Chris Grayling doing a wide-ranging

:02:03.:02:05.

interview, yet this is the headline that has come out. This is because

:02:06.:02:11.

the Telegraph have had a long campaign against this ridiculous

:02:12.:02:16.

system we have where we are packed like sardines in trains, hot and

:02:17.:02:19.

sweaty desperate rank to get to work and you can see in the distance this

:02:20.:02:22.

empty first-class carriage which really we don't have a need for.

:02:23.:02:26.

Chris Grayling has done this interview with our political editor

:02:27.:02:31.

and said he understands the pain of commuters as a commuter himself, he

:02:32.:02:34.

comes into work every morning on the train. He has vowed to crack down on

:02:35.:02:39.

this system so we will be seeing less first-class carriages. Some of

:02:40.:02:44.

the trains like travelling, they are suspended. It's as first-class but

:02:45.:02:47.

anyone can sit in here. What if you have bought a first-class ticket,

:02:48.:02:53.

you'd be pretty miffed? I always wonder who these people are hereby

:02:54.:02:56.

first-class tickets on short commuter routes. -- these people who

:02:57.:03:04.

buy first-class tickets. Loads of people go and sit in first

:03:05.:03:08.

class anyway, even if they don't have a ticket. It's a good idea. Not

:03:09.:03:12.

me ever, of course. But I think it is a fairly common practice, so

:03:13.:03:16.

getting rid of them is the right thing to do. What else has come out

:03:17.:03:20.

of this wide ranging interview do we know? Drones, the crackdown on

:03:21.:03:26.

drones in airports he said. Near airports. That's a good idea, isn't

:03:27.:03:32.

it? Lots of stories of chaos at airports as drones fly across the

:03:33.:03:36.

sky. It's a problem. Actually across London, I think it is illegal to fly

:03:37.:03:40.

drones over London but we have seen that happen recently. There have

:03:41.:03:42.

been more reports of drones recently. I can't imagine anything

:03:43.:03:46.

more terrifying if you're an airline pilot then suddenly seeing a drone

:03:47.:03:49.

coming towards you. Seems like something that should not happen. It

:03:50.:03:54.

shouldn't. That's all we can say. Does not feel like we have a huge

:03:55.:04:00.

amount of detail, have we? He has also said Theresa May will stay

:04:01.:04:04.

until 2020. Now we are getting somewhere! Given that obviously this

:04:05.:04:10.

week has seen lots of different rumours, and cabinet members

:04:11.:04:12.

briefing against each other over the weekend, which has been seen as

:04:13.:04:15.

people jostling for power. Suggesting she is not weak enough...

:04:16.:04:23.

Too weak, not strong enough! LAUGHTER Strong and stable. Let's

:04:24.:04:36.

move The Times. Plot to oust Labour number two, Corbyn supporters target

:04:37.:04:41.

Watson for removal. Who are these hard left elements, do we even know?

:04:42.:04:48.

The Times story doesn't necessarily make it clear who they are but it is

:04:49.:04:53.

fair to say that among some of Jeremy Corbyn's perhaps more

:04:54.:04:57.

hard-core fan base, Tom Watson is not popular. He was one of the

:04:58.:05:03.

people who first tried to get Jeremy Corbyn to stand down last summer. He

:05:04.:05:08.

then went public about his doubts about Corbyn's leadership throughout

:05:09.:05:11.

the whole of the last year. He has made it clear he does not think that

:05:12.:05:16.

Corbyn would lead the party to an election victory necessarily. He has

:05:17.:05:18.

made himself unpopular in that regard. And he was right. Yes, but I

:05:19.:05:26.

think Watson himself would admit that Corbyn did better than he

:05:27.:05:29.

expected him to. Whether there's a plot to replace, Tom Watson himself

:05:30.:05:34.

has said since the election result that he... You know, Jeremy Corbyn

:05:35.:05:37.

has earned the right as the leader and he will give him his backing.

:05:38.:05:42.

And that he will not block Corbyn even making any sort of party

:05:43.:05:44.

reforms that he wants to make that might give the left wing of the

:05:45.:05:49.

party more power. I don't understand, perhaps people don't

:05:50.:05:52.

seem to be happy with that. This article does not have lots of

:05:53.:05:57.

sources quoted at all, does it? Does that lead you to discover who was

:05:58.:06:02.

making these brats? I think it raises interesting questions -- who

:06:03.:06:08.

was making these threats? Interesting questions about

:06:09.:06:13.

Thornbury. It does not seem like there any direct plans, any motions

:06:14.:06:16.

tabled to be voted on at the party 's conference later this year, which

:06:17.:06:20.

could introduce some of these changes but probably would not pass

:06:21.:06:24.

anyway. The other angle to this is that there are talks of this

:06:25.:06:27.

McDonald clause, which would reduce the number of MPs that you need to

:06:28.:06:32.

nominate you if you want to run for the leadership. Again, even if I was

:06:33.:06:37.

to happen, which it might, the idea behind it is that if they do

:06:38.:06:41.

introduce these changes, if the Corbyn wing of the party wanted

:06:42.:06:44.

another Corbyn -esque leader, then it would be easy for them to do

:06:45.:06:48.

that, but still again, the candidates that are more moderate

:06:49.:06:51.

wing of the party would want to see. They will still get on the ballot

:06:52.:06:56.

and do well if that is the general mood of the party. But it hasn't

:06:57.:07:00.

happened yet. However, sources close to Emily Thornbury have told the BBC

:07:01.:07:06.

that if there is any suggestion Emily Thornbury is planning some

:07:07.:07:09.

challenge for the deputy leadership or would consider doing so, this is

:07:10.:07:13.

categorically untrue. Her view is that the leader leadership -- Labour

:07:14.:07:19.

leadership team needs to remain united behind that team, as it was

:07:20.:07:24.

during the election. That is sources close to Emily Thornbury. Things can

:07:25.:07:29.

change but that is it for now. Let's move on. To the Financial Times.

:07:30.:07:34.

Well. Things have been very interesting in the White House

:07:35.:07:38.

today, because Sean Spicer has stepped down from the West wing

:07:39.:07:45.

press podium, he is the much lampooned press secretary, Sean

:07:46.:07:49.

Spicer. He has now resigned because someone has been parachuted in above

:07:50.:07:53.

him as director of communications, and on with a rather marvellous

:07:54.:07:58.

name, Anthony Scaramucci, can he do the fandango asked Steve Humphries

:07:59.:08:02.

on twitter? So, Melissa McCarthy is going to be out of job on Saturday

:08:03.:08:06.

Night Live with no one to impersonate. It seems to have taken

:08:07.:08:12.

people out of surprise this one. If anything, that's the greatest

:08:13.:08:15.

tragedy of it. The Melissa McCarthy routine presumably not up for much

:08:16.:08:19.

longer, doing that amazing parity. Sean Spicer seemed too... I mean,

:08:20.:08:24.

everybody presents a boss suddenly been parachuted about them and

:08:25.:08:26.

perhaps they thought that job may be encompassed in a job title. He made

:08:27.:08:31.

it clear privately he did not want to see Anthony Scaramucci given this

:08:32.:08:36.

job as director of communications in the White House. Apparently as well,

:08:37.:08:44.

Trump's strategic advisers, to Steve Berriman, also did not want to see

:08:45.:08:50.

it happen. But Scaramucci was a choice proposed by Ivanka Trump and

:08:51.:08:54.

her husband Jared Kushner. I think it shows there are two camps are

:08:55.:08:58.

emerging in the White House. One of those is clearly having more

:08:59.:09:01.

influence than the other. I think that is the wider picture here. What

:09:02.:09:09.

that means for the presidency. And to those... How those allegiances

:09:10.:09:12.

will change, and who will be the casualties of it? Trouble in

:09:13.:09:16.

paradise. Trump has only been in power for six months. Because Sean

:09:17.:09:23.

Spicer was such an internationally known figure, I can't really

:09:24.:09:29.

remember the names of Obama's... Because these won't broadcast until

:09:30.:09:32.

recently, he became disordered caricature. For him to go is another

:09:33.:09:38.

blow to Trump who is going to a bit of difficulty at the moment. Had

:09:39.:09:42.

some legislative defeats, obviously there is this probe into his

:09:43.:09:45.

campaign 's links with Russia. It's not great for him to have another...

:09:46.:09:52.

How much do you and the Sarah Huckabee sounders? It's not an easy

:09:53.:09:57.

job, is it? One of the things she has two avoid which Sean Spicer most

:09:58.:10:00.

definitely did not avoid is when the spokesman becomes the story, that is

:10:01.:10:05.

bad news. And Sean Spicer became the story on multiple occasions. He got

:10:06.:10:11.

quite cross, didn't he? But Anthony Scaramucci, very polished, very

:10:12.:10:14.

smooth operator. Let's look at the mail. This is not the kind of story

:10:15.:10:17.

we would normally expect. It's almost as if the Guardian and the

:10:18.:10:28.

mail have swapped editors for the night, isn't it? Labour inputs

:10:29.:10:30.

boycott Rory, women urged to snub the chemist because it is refusing

:10:31.:10:33.

on principle to cut the price of the morning after pill. The quote from

:10:34.:10:36.

Boots is astonishing. I could not really believe it when he said...

:10:37.:10:41.

They keep the charge of ?28 to avoid incentivising inappropriate use. I

:10:42.:10:46.

mean... I don't know what an appropriate use of the morning after

:10:47.:10:50.

pill is. But they seem to think there is such a use for it. I would

:10:51.:10:54.

be interested to see how they might define that inappropriate use. It

:10:55.:11:00.

has been halved and other shops? Strange, almost like they have been

:11:01.:11:03.

lobbied by anti-abortion campaigners is what it suggests. Or, it's been

:11:04.:11:07.

used as an excuse to make more profit. The generic pill in France

:11:08.:11:16.

is like ?5 50? Yeah, and Tesco and Superdrug have half that price after

:11:17.:11:19.

this campaign, but Tesco are not budging. Lots of Labour MPs coming

:11:20.:11:22.

out today saying it's outrageous. Women and girls should boycott the

:11:23.:11:29.

shop. It's Boots that are not budging, isn't it, and Tesco and

:11:30.:11:34.

Superdrug who have agreed. Vote with your feet, women are advised by

:11:35.:11:38.

Stella Creasy MP. Onto the Guardian for a couple of stories. Europe

:11:39.:11:42.

given a list of potential suicide killers. This is Isis fighters who,

:11:43.:11:47.

as the caliphate begins to, or continues to collapse, they could be

:11:48.:11:50.

heading to Europe. They have not yet though. There is no suggestion that

:11:51.:11:55.

this list of people who have entered Europe, but this is a people who

:11:56.:11:59.

Interpol are officially worried about and want to distribute to

:12:00.:12:05.

states in Europe, to say, these people are on a watchlist. These are

:12:06.:12:10.

people believe our all have been trained to stage attacks in the

:12:11.:12:15.

West. We do not know they are heading to Britain, we do not know

:12:16.:12:19.

what they are heading or even if they have come on their way. But

:12:20.:12:23.

clearly that is something the authorities are sufficiently

:12:24.:12:25.

concerned about to want to warn the governments. The fact they can

:12:26.:12:32.

travel over here, a large number of them, they must know who they are.

:12:33.:12:36.

They have got quite an accurate figure. It says suspect stains have

:12:37.:12:42.

been collected, the date Isis recruited them, the likely address,

:12:43.:12:44.

the mosque they pray out, their mother 's name and photographs. This

:12:45.:12:49.

whole profile has been created so they will basically be flagged if

:12:50.:12:53.

they are seen entering any country, I presume. It's a fairly detailed

:12:54.:12:56.

database they have compiled on these people. One would hope that would

:12:57.:13:01.

make it easier for law enforcement or police or intelligence agencies

:13:02.:13:04.

to track their movements. People have slipped through the net before

:13:05.:13:06.

and that is what is quite frightening about it. Interesting,

:13:07.:13:11.

yesterday on the last day of Parliament the Cabinet Office

:13:12.:13:14.

slipped out this announcement that they were going to review Britain's

:13:15.:13:17.

security capabilities. There was a defence review in 2015 but they had

:13:18.:13:25.

just realised that the threats we are facing have increased at a rate

:13:26.:13:28.

we could not predict. We do not necessarily have the resources to

:13:29.:13:30.

deal with threats from terrorism and cyber attacks and this is a classic

:13:31.:13:35.

example of how all this work is being done behind the scenes in all

:13:36.:13:38.

this technology used to find these people, track and monitor them and

:13:39.:13:41.

get all this information. If you can't stop them when they get it,

:13:42.:13:46.

it's gone to waste in a way, hasn't it? I always wonder about the danger

:13:47.:13:50.

some people have put themselves in to gather this sorts of information,

:13:51.:13:58.

the risks to themselves. What a lot of intelligence experts will say

:13:59.:14:01.

about this if you were to try to take any optimistic view on a story

:14:02.:14:05.

like this, is that the reasons is happening is because the West is

:14:06.:14:08.

winning the fight in the Middle East, but Isis is being squeezed,

:14:09.:14:16.

they are in a corner in and Iraq. That occur in Syria and Iraq. This

:14:17.:14:20.

is the last resort to start launching attacks in the West. It

:14:21.:14:25.

shows we are succeeding in the Middle East. As long as they don't

:14:26.:14:33.

get here. Stay with the Guardian... A picture story. First woman to lead

:14:34.:14:37.

the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court, who is this? She is

:14:38.:14:43.

wonderful. We were saying earlier. She does not take... Takes no

:14:44.:14:50.

prisoners. This is Baroness Hale of Richmond. Barbara Hale, going to be

:14:51.:14:57.

sworn in in October. This in a week where discrimination has been in the

:14:58.:15:05.

news. Very close to home. It's very heartening to see. The first woman.

:15:06.:15:13.

It's extraordinary that we have so many, female head of state, we have

:15:14.:15:17.

the Queen, without necessarily have a choice in that but the female

:15:18.:15:22.

Prime Minister, we have the female First Minister, female head of the

:15:23.:15:27.

Met police and now female president of the Supreme Court. And other

:15:28.:15:31.

female party leaders as well. That is something that in a week where we

:15:32.:15:36.

have not perhaps had the most encouraging headlines. About

:15:37.:15:45.

winning, in work, and the challenges that women face. It is encouraging

:15:46.:15:49.

to see this. Is she getting the same as her predecessor? She of all

:15:50.:15:54.

people will be fairly well placed. Let's hope so. She probably knows

:15:55.:16:01.

one or two lawyers who can help her...

:16:02.:16:05.

Finally, back to The Times. Let me find it. Sorry, I'm very badly

:16:06.:16:10.

organised tonight. There we go. Mary Poppins. Corr blimey, Dick Van Dyke

:16:11.:16:15.

with Julie Andrews on the cover. He has now apologised for his atrocious

:16:16.:16:19.

cockney accent when he played Bert in the musical in 1964. His accent

:16:20.:16:24.

is almost as famous as the film and the songs, isn't it? As a child, I

:16:25.:16:31.

didn't notice. I didn't either, I grew up in Yorkshire and I didn't

:16:32.:16:34.

really know what cockney accent sounded like either! For me, I don't

:16:35.:16:37.

remember thinking it was a bad thing. Clearly you watch it as an

:16:38.:16:40.

adult, you think, that is cringeworthy. Apparently he was

:16:41.:16:46.

given some bad advice from the lead actor in Northumbria six. David

:16:47.:16:51.

Tomlinson who also played the father in Mary Poppins advised it van Dijk

:16:52.:16:54.

on what a complex and should sound like. -- the lead actor in bed knobs

:16:55.:17:05.

and broomsticks. He went back to Tomlinson and said, what were you

:17:06.:17:12.

thinking? And Tomlinson, with his silver spoon mouth, said I only told

:17:13.:17:16.

you what I thought cockney sounded like. I did not say I had ever met a

:17:17.:17:20.

cockney. Check the person you're taking advice from? A nice if true.

:17:21.:17:25.

And that is the papers for tonight. Don't forget you can see the front

:17:26.:17:28.

pages of the papers online It's all there for you -

:17:29.:17:31.

seven days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers -

:17:32.:17:36.

and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it

:17:37.:17:39.

later on BBC iPlayer. Thank you Laura and

:17:40.:17:41.

Jessica - Goodbye. Friday brought us a day of mixed

:17:42.:18:05.

fortunes in terms of the weather. It's been very wet and windy in the

:18:06.:18:08.

West is this band of rain tracked its way slowly east. You can see

:18:09.:18:13.

that swirl of cloud associated with an area of low pressure, further

:18:14.:18:15.

east it was clear
