02/08/2017 The Papers

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

With me are Steve Hawkes, Deputy political editor at The Sun

and the broadcaster and author Dame Joan Bakewell.

The Daily Express marks Prince Philip's last solo public

engagement before retiring from royal duties.

The Daily Telegraph opens with claims that the Government had

ignored the warnings by British-registered airlines

The Metro also leads with the Duke of Edinburgh's

The Sun reports on the team of scientists that have,

for the first time, successfully freed embryos

The Guardian also leads with this genetic treatment that may

potentially prevent up to 10,000 inherited diseases.

The Times leads with plans to government ways in England to reduce

car pollution. So, let's have a look. Let's start with, where else

but Prince Philip. 96 years old. It was bound to be the point story

wasn't it the many papers. It is very touching really because here is

a deal old man of 96 standing in the array on his day of retirement he is

standing on a platform unsupported in the rain and what does he do, he

takes off his hat rather poignantly for the national and the money gets

rained on. He's going to get pneumonia hope someone is looking

after him. I thought it was a very poignant expression of this is a

stamina he has. His dedication to duty, even master he was doing more

whirling engagements than Prince William and Prince Harry. I think it

is fantastic. In the think of other coverage recently about Diana and

remember where the royal family was there in about place. And now I

think with wailing Katyn Harry. That's macro I think with William

and Kate and Harry. It is great from page, great picture and it is Nancy

Philip Ing celebrated. One of the papers say go on being a rascal. He

is famous for his lapses of politeness. He still manages to be

both amusing and racist and offensive at the same time, and any

he could carry it off. He is a remarkable individual in that he was

quite an ordinary and very, very dashing naval officer when he

married the Queen. He was a really very handsome, tall, blond and she

was smitten and it was a great marriage and it has gone on for so

long and it is not often you hear stories that that. It is as

legendary as Victoria and Albert. It is our version of Victoria and

Albert so in that sense it is a real historic landmark. I wonder what he

will do in retirement, the idea of retiring 96 is alarming. We will all

do that alarm Murray eventually. -- we will all do that eventually. It

is not the last we will see of him. He may support the Queen in some

engagements as well. Pretty incredible. Almost duties. And his

charities, that's the thing that some people bat makes you think what

will come next, we have all been used to the Queen and Prince Philip

and you wonder what happens with support the monarchy, how it change

if Charles eventually takes over what will be different then will

retire into being more I'll will go straight William's interesting. It

is interesting that we will have the Diana tapes soon and the fact that I

am at three macro dependent on him and had a good relationship. Was she

tried having she was quite sympathetic about that innovative of

way could do. Wire you wonder what he might have said to have. The

Daily Express says Sepe closes two, three, four, 520 and 20 one. A

souvenir edition. One of those pixies you will remember in there.

It is the summer. He was going to the European destination this is

worrying. Next week. That the raised because of new security messages are

causing De Mike don't have enough staff. It is the perfect storm, you

have the high security a lot more people go abroad to output is that

most of the year found that many have this mass influx of tourists

not just from Britain, it's registers, it's America, Austria,

whatever. Then you have this underinvestment where they have not

got the systems they need. It is all meant for the right reason is for

but people caught up in this it is misery. And you have the BEA Systems

pressure on top of it. Akimbo in Barcelona recently announced

wandering fan site had apparently but it was a real Q. And there was

no particular explanation except you have to have all this stodgy going

to the electronics in your eyes and all that. People were doing it

faster they could but there simply when enough machines and there was

enough people. There were so many people travelling, the thing is to

travel when other people aren't travelling. The school holidays

everyone is time to go over that. The Telegraph says that ministers,

British ministers, ignored the aircraft warning that they were too

late to ring counterparts. Animal the criticising the government, you

know that, but I think this is a stretch what are we supposed to do

from the Spanish border control? Also airlines UK other body

responsible for registered carriers were what were they doing if they've

known about this since May how may passengers knew to ten Valley, that

sort of thing. It is very easy, I hold my hand up, it is good thing to

do to hold the government to account but it's a bit too far and this one.

This is a whims of what could happen. We have problems. We haven't

got Brexit yet. It's not particularly a Brexit issue,

anywhere outside of this genuine. I think it is a reminder that it needs

investment on both sides. If we are good sooth is and is going to happen

the government needs to invest. And this is not the government's

responsibility. It is note good saying why didn't governments do

anything. They can't one end nothing... They can't run

everything. It sounds like the airlines are getting out there to

say this is not our fault that is border control. That is an

interesting point is as you say we will have a whole new immigration

system that we have to get up and running. It is why Philip Hammond

God blesses Talkin bout this transition phase. They need to hire

2000 more border people and that will take 18 months. I can't believe

it's going to happen. We will all be queueing months before we go on

holiday. We were the key weeks before we come home. No point going.

Holiday in the Lake District. Like David Cameron said anywhere to

Lanzarote. Let's move on to the sun, this is your report. It is

incredible thinking about where we've been a high robot speaking to

people and now this breakthrough if we are able to take out faulty genes

in DNA and save 10,000 people it is incredible. We do think, where is

this going? It's great you can save lives just wonder five, ten, 15

years what will the regulations look like where we'll end up? There is

the ethical question this is for people with the devastating

inherited diseases and this offers some hope to them. This about I/O

genetics which is the shape of the future. This is the first big

development which will begin to shape how the whole of the century

maps out. This is a fantastic introduction of a way of avoiding

inherited illnesses. I've known people who have not had that

treatment and have had children disadvantaged and disabled

unavoidably so and we can now avoid it. How boring is that but it opens

the possibilities of genes dabbling. -- how brilliant is that. Although

people are mentioning design of babies saying it is beyond the pale.

One day soon somebody will say, perhaps we could just push it a

little bit further, a little bit further so designer babies are

somewhere down the line and this is one of the greatest scientific

medical changes are century. The regulations, as you say, the stuff

has gone through Parliament and we are seen as more liberal than

America for this kind of thing. But, how concerned to thing MPs are about

this? Recently mitochondrial disease that has been in the news there was

a change in the law to let that happen but it is something that it

is a matter of conscience that MPs will discuss this. He threw tricky

if you if you think about what they get efficient over -- a hugely

tricky. I have no idea how they will react to this one. All the religious

people will be involved in this, we debated the mitochondria in the

House of Lords and went through but the debate was really strong with

strong opinions about side and that will happen quite rightly so. We

don't want to slide into genetic changes without really paying much

attention. You need to know what you are doing so there will be huge

resistance and there will be blocks and things will move slowly but they

will all move in the same direction eventually. So, people will be

disturbed about and there will be attempts to put limits on it, quite

rightly, but once it happens the gene genie is out of the bottle. And

I'm sorry about this picture, by the way. Wow Steve is not taking any

responsibility. Tell your boss that we do not like it. I'll pass it on.

Let's go to the guardian of the sports pages and we have the

incredible signing from Barcelona, Neymar. You think about their

Hammond struggling to balance the books of any of dotball, this guy

Neymar leaving Barcelona. He didn't not the later the turnstiles. He

went to Paris St Germain on ?265,000 a week tax-free. This is again Paris

Saint-Germain recently come up in France and they are now making their

mark on buying one of the Best Buy plays the world. And there's this

big picture next to rip the English Linus is, the bestseller in a

women's bubble is ?35,000 a year. This is the England ladies team who

are in the semifinals of the US tomorrow. I think the contrast is

amazing. Keep waiting for football bubble to burst. It is a traditional

working man's sport. How supporters are going to feel about this. At

some point there will be a salary cap because... Like an American

certain sports because it is incredible. You could buy the whole

New England Patriots team but how much you're playing the Neymar.

Incredible. The discrepancy between the women situation the men

situation is a worse than the BBC! LAUGHTER Sammer thereby think she

would get more than I would for modelling. Edit think there's anyone

on the BBC on 40 million, haven't quite restart. Are you sure? Women's

sport seems like it is getting more publicity. It is superbly any

problems with rugby. Will be union have ended contracts but there are

incredible leaps and bounds. They are saying about show women's

football is on sat state. That's what changes it ever gets green. It

is so wonderful to see and just so thrilling. It is part of all the

changes that I've lived through my long life. To see the changes and it

is arrived at sport but arrived with such triumph that is what so

glorious. We had a great summer the under 19 is an under 21 is winning.

Back to the Telegraph are the final story. Family rearing isn't bad but

it is very different this is suggesting that people sit in

different rooms to watch different programmes. -- family viewing. My

mum and dad in the same room own month is wearing headphones watching

the iPad and my dad is watching TV. There are so much on offer. There

was a time where there were two channels, then there were three

channels and families used to argue about which of those they would

enter what is because there was no eye player, there was no recording.

You watch till you missed it. So, of course you'll sat round when you

settle for a general agreement but now there are so much choices. The

same different technologies by which you can, I think the core platforms,

that you can watch on every one has a choice. My four-year-old now if

you try to explain to him this is not an she just does not understand

it. We watching a programme last night, the first of set that people

now binge watch series. We watched the first of a new programme The

Night Of and we immediately wanted to watch another one. We watch

things like we used to be the book. It is change things. We've covered a

lot of France might. Lots of lovely Jos Buttler is. That is us -- lots

of lovely Jos Buttler 's. Don't forget you can see the front

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

7 days a week. evening you can watch it

later on BBC iPlayer. Thank you Steve Hawkes

and Dame Joan Bakewell. Good evening, Southern areas bore

the brunt of the wet weather during today.
