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

:00:19. > :00:22.With me are Rachel Cunliffe, Comment and Features Editor at City

:00:23. > :00:24.AM and John Crowley, Editor in Chief of the International

:00:25. > :00:35.Welcome, thank you for giving up your Friday night. The front pages

:00:36. > :00:35.tomorrow. The Daily Mail leads

:00:36. > :00:38.on the death of Charlie Gard. It says the baby, whose battle

:00:39. > :00:44.for survival captured hearts around the world, lost his fight for life

:00:45. > :00:46.exactly one A picture of Charlie's dad

:00:47. > :00:52.with the baby dominates the front The paper says both of Charlie

:00:53. > :01:00.parents were at his side as his life The Daily Express reports

:01:01. > :01:04.on the fears that Brexit could be delayed after the Chancellor

:01:05. > :01:07.announced plans for a two-stage The Daily Telegraph says MPs have

:01:08. > :01:14.warned that the next general election will be a "second

:01:15. > :01:16.referendum" on Brexit if Philip Hammond gets his way

:01:17. > :01:26.on a lengthy transition. The Guardian carries an interview

:01:27. > :01:27.with Sadiq Khan saying Labour could still hot Brexit.

:01:28. > :01:31.and teenagers are being paid by criminals to hide or launder

:01:32. > :01:36.The I claims there's been a cover up on the high speed 2 rail project.

:01:37. > :01:39.It says the Department for Transport has censored a report on billion

:01:40. > :01:46.pound scheme amid fears over rising costs and big delays.

:01:47. > :01:49.And the Sun leads on the death of Charlie Gard.

:01:50. > :01:51.It says his devastated mum announced that "our beautiful

:01:52. > :02:06.And that will be begin, but with the very sad but expected news that

:02:07. > :02:09.Charlie Garde had died, released from hospital earlier in the day and

:02:10. > :02:16.gone to the hospice where his life support was switched off. The daily

:02:17. > :02:21.Mirror has an amazing photo of this little boy, just a few weeks old.

:02:22. > :02:25.Our beautiful little boy has gone. It is a very different to in the

:02:26. > :02:30.papers are taking after all that acrimony over recent months. It is a

:02:31. > :02:39.campaign that has really affected everyone in the nation and become,

:02:40. > :02:44.got into the heart of every family. It is over, the court cases are

:02:45. > :02:50.over, they battle, and one would hope the acrimony is finally over.

:02:51. > :02:54.Both of these papers, especially the Daily Mail which kicked off the

:02:55. > :02:58.campaign, both these papers are taking a sombre and respectful tone

:02:59. > :03:02.which is all you can do in this situation. If we look at how the

:03:03. > :03:09.Daily Mail is reporting it it says rest in peace. No photograph. Many

:03:10. > :03:16.people paying tribute and thankfully the tone of it is much more

:03:17. > :03:19.respectful. It feels restraint now, it is not the moment for

:03:20. > :03:25.recriminations and we have gone through all the arguments back and

:03:26. > :03:28.forth. Tonight it is about the parents, about Connie and Chris.

:03:29. > :03:32.They have gone to the ends of the earth fighting for their child and

:03:33. > :03:38.they now have to think about how they are going to bury him now. It

:03:39. > :03:45.feels that everyone has wanted to take a piece of it, whether you are

:03:46. > :03:50.up even or the president of the United States, everyone has had a

:03:51. > :03:56.comment, but today it feels like that is a much more restrained

:03:57. > :04:00.element to this. And the agony that his parents have been through. When

:04:01. > :04:08.he was born apparently healthy and then they just saw his health seep

:04:09. > :04:13.away over months and less and less they seemed to be able to do for

:04:14. > :04:18.him. It is absolutely tragic and particularly tragic that it became a

:04:19. > :04:24.battle of the authorities versus parents and that is why it became

:04:25. > :04:28.such an emotive issue. Nobody wants to think about that decision being

:04:29. > :04:31.made but the fact is that in the UK every single person in the debate

:04:32. > :04:36.was trying to do what they thought was the right thing for the child

:04:37. > :04:41.and that is a real difference in how it is reported here and perhaps how

:04:42. > :04:46.it has played elsewhere in the world, in particular in America

:04:47. > :04:50.where it became highly politicised. I think there were some who were

:04:51. > :04:54.deliberately misunderstanding how the British health care and legal

:04:55. > :04:59.system works in order to make a political point about government

:05:00. > :05:04.interference. The truth is that everyone from the parents to the

:05:05. > :05:09.courts to the doctors were trying to do their best and that got lost a

:05:10. > :05:12.little bit. There were moments of flashes of anger from the parents on

:05:13. > :05:19.the steps of the court and moments of emotion as well, but it was the

:05:20. > :05:26.way they carried themselves, with dignity, and the logic they brought

:05:27. > :05:30.to it. So there was the emotion but when they spoke they spoke very

:05:31. > :05:34.articulately and expansively. You could go, yes, I agree with that

:05:35. > :05:41.from a logical point of view as well. So tonight they are just

:05:42. > :05:48.mourning their 11-month-old baby who passed away a week before he turned

:05:49. > :05:52.one-year-old. On the Telegraph, election will be a second poll on

:05:53. > :05:59.the EU, warning the domain camp will use the vote to water down Brexit F

:06:00. > :06:03.Philip Hammond gets his way on a lengthy transition. It begs the

:06:04. > :06:08.election when the election will be, if we will even be in transition by

:06:09. > :06:13.then. We think there will be an election sooner rather than later

:06:14. > :06:20.but this briefing, wasn't it supposed to stop? When these people

:06:21. > :06:23.go on their summer holidays. But clearly, one little took from it,

:06:24. > :06:29.Boris Johnson, currently on a working trip on as Julia has not

:06:30. > :06:32.spoken publicly in support of the Chancellor's stands and is likely to

:06:33. > :06:38.be the biggest Cabinet opponent of a lengthy transition. It doesn't

:06:39. > :06:42.reveal the sources. I picked on that line at as well because just before

:06:43. > :06:47.it says that Philip Hammond has won the backing of Brexit years

:06:48. > :06:56.including Michael Gove and Liam Fox, two heavyweight Brexit campaigners.

:06:57. > :07:00.It is very much suggesting some of the opposition is coming from the

:07:01. > :07:06.Foreign Office. It doesn't go so far as to say that. I love the headline,

:07:07. > :07:11.election will be the second Paul on the EU. I got such a sense of deja

:07:12. > :07:16.vu because I feel like I read that before the election we just hit.

:07:17. > :07:23.What we learn from that election is that every side, whether it is the

:07:24. > :07:27.Conservatives of or Labour, remain or leave, are taking the sign that

:07:28. > :07:33.they are connected whatever it was they wanted. It will continue on

:07:34. > :07:37.being so. The Maltese Prime Minister is saying that from the first time

:07:38. > :07:43.he thinks Brexit won't happen. All options are up for grabs. There is a

:07:44. > :07:49.sense of chaos continuing. Talking about the summer holidays and going

:07:50. > :07:53.away for a little while, but of course it isn't, and briefing is

:07:54. > :07:56.continuing. I will be cynical and suggest he may have made a comment

:07:57. > :07:59.like that because now we all know his name and we know he is the Prime

:08:00. > :08:05.Minister of multi which we may not have known before now. Let's look at

:08:06. > :08:10.the Financial Times, what is going on in the White House. Donald Trump

:08:11. > :08:15.lashes out. The attempt to try to repeal Obamacare. The Republicans

:08:16. > :08:19.have been trying for seven years and have failed again. They have got

:08:20. > :08:23.other things to be getting on with. This has been a week of chaos in the

:08:24. > :08:27.White House and that is saying something but we have had multiple

:08:28. > :08:30.votes on the health care bill and on Tuesday it looked like it was going

:08:31. > :08:38.for Rod in the early hours of this morning, John McCain and two other

:08:39. > :08:43.Republicans voted against, but we have also had bigger news this

:08:44. > :08:59.evening just breaking, that Donald Trump has fired his chief of staff,

:09:00. > :09:03.Reince Piebus -- Reince Priebus. That has come just a week after he

:09:04. > :09:09.fired his press secretary, Sean Spicer. We know how voluntary that

:09:10. > :09:18.was! Soap all change at the White House. And also Scaramucci chose

:09:19. > :09:22.some choice language that can't be repeated even after the watershed

:09:23. > :09:26.but basically called out Reince Priebus as a leak and Reince Priebus

:09:27. > :09:33.was the link as well with the Senate, with Washington, so that was

:09:34. > :09:38.lost on Obamacare. Perhaps he has taken the hit for that as well. But

:09:39. > :09:40.again we talk about chaos over here in the summer holidays but it is

:09:41. > :09:46.nothing compared to the United States. If you are a journalist with

:09:47. > :09:50.a wonderful time to be alive. What exciting times! All you need to know

:09:51. > :09:54.about Scaramucci is that he had this week a very long phone conversation

:09:55. > :09:58.with a journalist in which he said all kinds of things on the record

:09:59. > :10:03.about the various colleagues, one of whom has now been fired, and then

:10:04. > :10:08.win the journalists printed the article he then lashed out at the

:10:09. > :10:10.fact that it was printed. You think if you are communications director

:10:11. > :10:14.you would know not to say those kinds of things on the record to a

:10:15. > :10:17.journalist. One of your correspondence was saying I am never

:10:18. > :10:23.going to talk to journalists again. It is your job. He is like this

:10:24. > :10:27.cartoon character, an Italian-American with aviator

:10:28. > :10:31.glasses, looking like somebody straight out of the Sopranos and he

:10:32. > :10:36.is quite macho and all these guys are quite macho as well and you just

:10:37. > :10:39.wonder whether Donald Trump is planning to let them fight it out

:10:40. > :10:43.amongst themselves. We wonder what will happen to Steve Brine and then

:10:44. > :10:48.because he had again some choice words to say about him. He will be

:10:49. > :10:52.looking over his shoulder and Scaramucci in his interview with

:10:53. > :10:59.Emily Maitlis said I don't backstab, I front stab. What did you make of

:11:00. > :11:02.that and how he treated Emily? In terms of her personal space he got

:11:03. > :11:10.up close and personal, what did you think? I thought she was very

:11:11. > :11:16.patient. Handled it very well. As she always does. The Times, gang to

:11:17. > :11:21.speak teenagers to launder crime cash. How are they recruiting young

:11:22. > :11:28.people? Outside the school gates and in social media. I got this image,

:11:29. > :11:33.you know how they always warned you after school not to talk to people

:11:34. > :11:39.offering drugs and sweets, now they are offering as little as ?50 to

:11:40. > :11:45.transfer a much larger sums of dirty money. When I was a teenager ?50 was

:11:46. > :11:48.a lot of money. They are seducing teenagers with this easy money and

:11:49. > :11:53.then laundering it through their bank accounts, and then potentially

:11:54. > :11:58.threatening violence if they try to stop. There is a plea for parents to

:11:59. > :12:01.monitor their children's bank accounts. We were having a

:12:02. > :12:05.conversation trying to remember at what age you could get a bank

:12:06. > :12:12.account. Is it 16 you can get a debit card? As a mother of

:12:13. > :12:20.teenagers. My children have to use cash. It hurts more to part with it.

:12:21. > :12:24.Is it 13-17? I certainly know 13-year-olds with parents permission

:12:25. > :12:33.can have some form of credit card. Not credit, debit card. 50 quid, and

:12:34. > :12:37.the crime editor is saying this is an interesting story because they

:12:38. > :12:42.are trying one step ahead. Laundering money the police is on

:12:43. > :12:47.them and this is another new avenue. Her parents, something else for them

:12:48. > :12:54.to have to keep an eye on. Yours are too young to worry about. Operation

:12:55. > :13:00.fault him it is called. The fraud unit has issued warnings to schools

:13:01. > :13:07.but kids don't like being dictated to, they like a bit.

:13:08. > :13:10.Page two, nearly 2000 children referred for help with gender

:13:11. > :13:16.identity. John, this is a massive increase in the number of children

:13:17. > :13:18.who are being referred either by their parents are because of how

:13:19. > :13:23.they are feeling about their own bodies. The percentage increase

:13:24. > :13:28.since shocking but when you look at the numbers, this comes from the

:13:29. > :13:39.gender identity development service, commissioned by NHS England, 1986

:13:40. > :13:45.people under 18 referred. Let's put this into perspective. The line that

:13:46. > :13:54.jumped out at us was some as young as three are being referred.

:13:55. > :13:59.Three-year-olds seeing any to speak about this but it is parents as

:14:00. > :14:02.well. Parents must recognise something in their children that

:14:03. > :14:08.makes them think they need help but the suggestion in this article is

:14:09. > :14:12.that there is a societal change? It is an incredibly complicated issue

:14:13. > :14:14.and all the people involved are individuals and will have their own

:14:15. > :14:19.individual issues that they are working through but right at the

:14:20. > :14:22.end, one of the doctors says, some people feel uncomfortable with the

:14:23. > :14:26.gender they were assigned at birth, so that is potentially

:14:27. > :14:31.transitioning, but others are unhappy with the gender role that

:14:32. > :14:35.society requires. I think that applies to pretty much everyone.

:14:36. > :14:39.There is a wider question of how we treat gender and society. Why we

:14:40. > :14:45.force children to gender roles at a young age. Girls wear pink and play

:14:46. > :14:51.with dolls, boys wear blue and play with friends, or whatever it is. It

:14:52. > :14:55.is completely arbitrary societal restraints that he put on them. And

:14:56. > :15:02.they last forever. The constraints put on adult men and can make

:15:03. > :15:05.people... And I don't think it is particularly controversial to say

:15:06. > :15:09.that those expectations can be damaging. In terms of the entries, I

:15:10. > :15:14.don't think anyone is arguing that there has been an increase

:15:15. > :15:20.necessarily. It is that people are talking about it more, parents and

:15:21. > :15:26.children now that this is an issue they can get help on if they need to

:15:27. > :15:33.and it comes in the same week as earlier story about borrowing --

:15:34. > :15:36.barring transgender individuals from the US military and what was

:15:37. > :15:40.reassuring is that various other national militaries including ours

:15:41. > :15:44.came forward and said that we support these individuals and anyone

:15:45. > :15:49.who wants to serve their country, so it definitely has become more

:15:50. > :15:54.mainstream, something that we are prepared to talk about a lot more.

:15:55. > :15:57.Once again, Donald Trump tweeting and taking the Pentagon by surprise

:15:58. > :16:04.and they are not quite knowing how to respond. Going back to the

:16:05. > :16:11.previous story about Reince Priebus it seems that that was done that way

:16:12. > :16:15.as well. As somebody in South Korea whose job is to monitor Donald

:16:16. > :16:19.Trump's Twitter, clearly they need to do this. Just finally in this

:16:20. > :16:23.particular story, the suggestion is that because we are becoming more

:16:24. > :16:30.tolerant of different types of sexuality and gender identity, maybe

:16:31. > :16:33.these children will get the help and feel there is nothing wrong with

:16:34. > :16:42.them if they don't feel how society tells them. In other newspapers

:16:43. > :16:48.hands this could be, shall we say, presented in a different way and the

:16:49. > :16:51.controversy is, by talking about this are you putting the start into

:16:52. > :16:58.people's heads. Are you encouraging it by talking about it? We were

:16:59. > :17:00.seeing just on camera we have had these debates about homosexuality

:17:01. > :17:07.decades ago and we have gone past that. And we have got away from the

:17:08. > :17:13.argument and talking about it and accepting it doesn't in any way

:17:14. > :17:17.promoting it and what you end up with if you accept people is happier

:17:18. > :17:26.and better adjusted individuals and ideally better society. That is my

:17:27. > :17:34.view. Let's end with somebody, Ph.D., Daily Express. Ferrari

:17:35. > :17:36.supercar wrecked in 60 minutes. When this accident happened, police had

:17:37. > :17:44.to ask the owner what the car had been. And it was a Ferrari, don't

:17:45. > :17:54.even know how to pronounce that... What happened? He flipped it over.

:17:55. > :17:58.In the wet. There is schadenfreude in this, bring a tear to a glass

:17:59. > :18:05.eye, poor old guy. It looks like he was lucky to escape. He escaped with

:18:06. > :18:15.bruises, they said, after the car completely caught fire. Look at it!.

:18:16. > :18:22.That is not coming back. That is gone. Ferrari says we offer and

:18:23. > :18:27.encourage motorists to have bought a Ferrari to undergo a driving course.

:18:28. > :18:31.We will remember that for when we buy our first supercar. That's it

:18:32. > :18:37.for the papers tonight and don't forget you can see everything

:18:38. > :18:41.online. If you missed the programme, you can watch it later on BBC I

:18:42. > :18:43.clear. John and Rachel, always lovely to see you, thank you are

:18:44. > :19:02.coming in. All sorts of weather to come this

:19:03. > :19:03.weekend, very mixed weather on the way. This sums it up,
