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!
