to fantasy from writing historical fiction in Meet the Author. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
With me are Nigel Nelson, political editor of the Sunday Mirror, | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
and political commentator Jo Phillips. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the Observer, | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
which leads with President Trump's decision to sack his chief of staff | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
- causing nervousness among Republicans. | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
The Telegraph headlines an ally of Boris Johnson attacking | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
The Sunday Times has a report on the lives of teenage British | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
girls who run away to join so-called Islamic State. | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
The Mail says that Princess Diana's brother has called on Channel 4 not | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
to broadcast her video diaries, which are due to air next week. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
The Express also focuses on Princess Diana, claiming | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Princess Diana asked the Queen for help about her marriage. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
And that story also makes the Daily Star's front page. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
We will begin with the Observer. Border chaos will hit hard after | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
Brexit, say experts. Why? Who are these experts? I thought we had had | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
enough of experts. I think as Brexit goes on there will be so many | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
experts coming out of the woodwork. These particular ones, it is a | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Europewide consultancy which did an assessment of what it would mean | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
once we'd down south of the customs union. -- we bounce out of. They are | :01:42. | :01:53. | |
predicting a huge lorry parks in the south-east of England, lots of extra | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
border checks and costs. Custom checks would go up from a current | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
?55 million to ?200 million, over one year. It means huge delays for | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
any goods coming through. What this really shows is the tremendous | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
complexity of Brexit. Now, if we are not a member of the customs union, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
we are bouncing out of the single market, we forget how easy life has | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
been in the single market. Goods and people can easily go from Yorkshire | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
to Lancashire, and is easily from France to Latvia. There were things | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
like that we are getting from it. This new system will mean that we | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
have border checks at every member state of the European Union, or 37 | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
countries. It will also mean that's lorries coming from the EU will get | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
held up coming into this country as well. So it is in everybody's | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
interests to come up with a plan to stop that happening. Absolutely. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Because that will add on huge costs to consumers, because the delays and | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the price of goods coming in and being delivered. It will also mean, | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
environmentally, it is not particularly brilliant. We have seen | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
what happens when Operation Stack happens when there is a problem down | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
at the Channel Tunnel or at the Channel ports. This will happen | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
right across the country and right across Europe and it will encourage | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
lots of firms to relocate, quite simply. So what are we going to do? | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Live on chlorinated chicken? These are the kinds of deals that must be | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
done. They really have to be sorted out much later than this time next | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
year. At the moment, airlines cannot sell advance tickets from October | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
next year, because they need to know what deal we have over aviation | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
safety, which is policed by the EU. Otherwise our planes grounded. I am | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
sure that will not happen. I am sure we will get a deal. But it is the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
kind of thing that needs to be sorted out. And quickly. Yes, | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
absolutely right. It might be that our lorries cannot even drive in | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Europe, and in retaliation, European lorries would not be able to drive | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
in Britain, so we wouldn't be able to get goods backwards and forwards. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
If there has to be quick throw quirk, -- quid pro quo, they would | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
cancel each other out. Or is that too simplistic? It is too sensible. | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
This whole deal is being run by people who want Brexit and want it | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
now. It is a case of ironing out the creases. We need a very big iron. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
The Mail on Sunday, don't show Diana love tapes on television. This is L | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Spencer, Diana's rather, not wanting these video diaries to be aired on | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
Channel 4. Why not? These are video recordings of sessions that Diana | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
had with a voice coach, a long time ago when she was in a very unhappy | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
place. It was before she did the Panorama interview, and the | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
suggestion is that she was having the voice coach sessions in order to | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
prepare for that interview. Now, what is rather curious is that these | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
were recorded by Peter Southland, a former Coronation Street actor and | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
voice coach. As far as we know they belong to him. The tapes, which were | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
filmed on a camcorder, then appeared, all were revealed, in Paul | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
Burrell's house, that was Diana's former butler. They came to light | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
when they were seized by police officers when they raided his house. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
But they were not used in court during his trial. No, because they | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
were so incendiary. Mr Southland had a civil suit to try to get them back | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
was not Diana's family, the Spencer family, eventually settled it out of | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
court. The BBC bought them for ?30,000 or something like that but | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
chose never to show them. NBC, bizarrely, showed the tapes in 2004, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
which seems to have passed all of us by. And now it is unclear how they | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
have ended up a channel for it to BBC bought them outright. Channel 4, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
helpfully, have given us a statement. They are watching! Yes, | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
thank you, Channel 4. The excerpts from the tapes recorded have never | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
been shown before on British television and are an important | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
historical source. We carefully considered all of the material used | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
in the documentary and although the recordings were made in private, the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
subjects covered are a matter of public record and provide a unique | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
insight into the preparations Diana undertook to gain a public voice and | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
tell her own personal story, which culminated in her late interview | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
with Panorama. This unique portrait of Diana gives her a voice in places | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
at front and centre at a time when the nation will be reflect in on her | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
life and death. Difficult, though, for her sums to watch, no doubt. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Yes, very. I understand absolutely white girl Spencer -- why Earl | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
Spencer does not want to see these go out. I understand that Prince | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Harry and Prince William do not want them transmitted. At I do think | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
there is a public interest here. There is not. The idea that Diana | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
speaking in her own words, telling it like it is, or at least how she | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
saw it, I think it is important. But she was doing this in preparation to | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
do her own voice in the Panorama interview. I appreciate that. Now | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
that these tapes have come to light it does seem to me that both for the | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
public interest and the historical record, it is quite important to | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
have these things out there. But she chose to do an interview which was | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
recorded, the Panorama interview which some of us remember, this was | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
preparation for that. These are private sessions. They are not | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
public property. Obviously we cannot know what Diana's wishes might have | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
been. Given that she has been dead for 20 years and we cannot ask her, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
now that they have come to light and now that they are available, I | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
think... But they have been available for a long time. 20 years | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
after her death is probably the right time to have these broadcasts. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
I do not think it is in the public interest. They are private sessions. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
We are not going to agree. No. That's fine. Indeed. I am grateful. | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
No gavel required. The Sunday Times, a couple of stories about Isis. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Firstly, revealed, the life of teenage brides in Isis' "A little | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Britain". And ministers strip 150 jihadist is of UK passports. -- | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
jihadists. People being stripped of part of their dual nationality to | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
stop them coming back to the UK from Barack or Syria. I think this is a | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
subject for rejoicing. If you have people who want to come back and | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
bomb us I am quite happy to keep them away. The way this works, it is | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
if they only had reduced nationality, we could not do it, | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
because it would make them stateless. So these are people with | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
dual nationality. In other words, there is someone else for them to | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
go. There are so many people here, and I think that we learned over the | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
recent terror attacks of the huge number of jihadists in Britain from | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
MI5. We thought there were about 3000. It turned out there were about | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
23,000, and 3000 other ones they can try to monitor at the moment. And | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
when one falls off another one goes on, sort of thing. If you imagine | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
that the IRA, at its height, was about 600 strong, 23,000 people who | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
actively wish us harm is hugely dangerous. Keeping out anybody who | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
might add to that seems like the best policy. This picture is of a | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
woman with her little girl, who lived in Raqqa, the stronghold of | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
so-called Islamic State. She managed to escape. She was taken by her | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
husband. He said he had a new job. They were living in Dubai at the | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
time. A new job in Turkey. They were going to go there and then go to | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Britain. At instead they ended up in Raqqa as you say. Her escape, it is | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
quite a shocking story of the house in northern Syria where the Bethnal | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
Green schoolgirls who ran off a couple of years ago now, other | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
jihadi rides from Bristol and Glasgow, the so-called White Widow, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
cheap talks about how these women, these young girls, were delighted | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
about reading about themselves on online British news sites. They | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
crowed over reports of terrorist attacks in Europe. She was very | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
shocked about that. She managed to escape, her husband was killed, I | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
think. It does show, you know, we are hearing stories last week about | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
girls coming back. There was a young German girl, 16 years old, who came | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
back, or who escaped. So you are getting very mixed messages from | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
people who are going out there and seen, it was not what I thought, and | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
this, which is quite shocking. Let's move on to the Independent. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
Government relaxed acid laws against expert advice. Yes, this is about, | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
as we know, there have been a view rather frightening acid attacks | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
where people in the streets, in London, have had acid thrown in | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
their faces to no particular reasons. -- a few rather. Very | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
damaging, in some cases like changing. This story is not a | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
particularly new story, but what it is basically doing is saying that | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
the government, the coalition government, in 2015, ignored advice, | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
in their desire to burn red tape and cut bureaucracy, they basically cut | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
red tape and got rid of the 1972 Poisons Act, against the advice of | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
the Poisons Board, and doctors as well. What we do not know, because | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
previously to this, anybody selling noxious substances like saucier | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
custard and hydrochloric acid would have had to register with their | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
council. -- sulphiric acid. What this does not say is, we actually do | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
not know what acid has been used, but we have heard police officers | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
talking about the kind of stuff you would find in your bathroom or | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
kitchen cupboard. We don't know for sure, we don't know how it was | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
acquired, but we are likely to see efforts made to have this made an | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
offence. Yes, what seems to be happening now, because of the | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
horrific attacks, and the number of them, because acid attacks are going | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
up as people turn away from knives. Carrying a knife carries a five-year | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
penalty, so this is the weapon of choice for people who do not want to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
do that. Amber Rudd seems to be putting back everything in place | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
that was originally got rid of by the coalition government. The | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
problem, really, and it is the same problem they had at the time, is | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
that this is the stuff you do have under your sink. The idea that you | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
would need a Home Office licence to bleach or bathroom is going to be | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
some kind of problem. -- your bathroom. It takes a bit of working | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
out but the important thing is to keep it out of the wrong hands. The | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Mail on Sunday. Revealed, London's shocking drug data. Statistics about | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
how many were said to have taken some kind of banned substance while | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
they were competing, or before they were competing, at the London | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Olympics. Scary figures. What we are talking about is out of 656 track | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
and field finalists, 87 had at one point being caught doping. -- been. | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
It is scary because we have the World Championship starting shortly. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Presumably some of the same sort of athletes. It does seem to appear | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
that the policing of this is not working incredibly well. Also, not | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
only are they cheating bedfellow competitors, they are cheating the | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
people who go and watch them. -- their fellow. Cycling went through | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
this. They had to do a very big cleanup. Huge. Lance Armstrong, as | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
we Ormeau, was using drugs and cheating right the way through. -- | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
as we all know. Five years ago we were basking in the glory of | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
everything that the London Olympics was. It was great. What is so awful | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
is that for the people who really worked their socks off, they may | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
have missed out on medals and stuff like that, and who wants to compete | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
with cheaters? It's not the same if you work hard | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
and you are stripped of the title, you weren't there on the day to | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
receive the title. The Sunday Times, let them eat pheasant says Be the | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
Botham. This is Ian Botham, cricketing hero, Walker | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
extraordinaire and he's a land owner and a pheasant shoot. He has joined | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
forces with something called the country food trust. There are huge | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
concerns about the number of people using food banks and there's a move | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
within the countryside to provide people with cheap and readily | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
available food, such as pheasant. Sue Reeve, known as Mrs very picky | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
on Twitter, reminds us, there you are, reminds us that only non- | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
perishable food is good for food banks but they have a coming plan to | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
turn it into easy cook meals. Exactly. They don't have to hang | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
them and pluck them. If you can do that it seems ideal. The hunting | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
lobby are going to be pretty furious. Why? They don't like | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
shooting pheasants and partridges. You mean the antihunting lobby? They | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
don't like shooting pheasants and partridges. A lot of people go on | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
corporate shoots and they don't even take them home. If the food is | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
wasted then put it in a food bank. It's not just food banks, it is | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
frozen pies and curries and things like that. Pheasant curry, I've | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
never never tried that! There's a thought, Saturday night, Sunday | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
lunch, not sure! | :17:00. | :17:05. |
