:00:00. > :00:00.well to be ready for the championship. We need to give
:00:00. > :00:00.competition also to players that need it.
:00:00. > :00:15.Now on BBC News it's time for The Papers.
:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look at this morning's papers.
:00:19. > :00:20.With me are Caroline Crampton from the New Statesman
:00:21. > :00:24.and the political commentator James Millar.
:00:25. > :00:30.First, let's take a quick look at what's on the front pages.
:00:31. > :00:32.The Sunday Telegraph has a photograph of Usain Bolt
:00:33. > :00:36.and Justin Gatlin after their controversial 100 metres final,
:00:37. > :00:43.The paper reports the the UK is prepared to pay up to ?36 billion
:00:44. > :00:53.It says it's the first time a precise figure has been proposed.
:00:54. > :00:56.The Independent on Sunday also focuses on Brexit
:00:57. > :00:58.and a warning from scientists about the government's intention
:00:59. > :01:04.The Observer concentrates on advice from the Children's Commissioner,
:01:05. > :01:06.who's concerned that many kids are bingeing on social
:01:07. > :01:16.The Mail on Sunday says it has found that around 40% of police stations
:01:17. > :01:17.have been closed down in seven years.
:01:18. > :01:19.The Sunday Times reports that British students
:01:20. > :01:21.are being discriminated against by universities, in favour
:01:22. > :01:26.The Sunday Mirror has a story we've been reporting on today,
:01:27. > :01:29.the ordeal of a British model who was kidnapped in Milan.
:01:30. > :01:31.And the Sunday Express chooses to feature Prince Harry
:01:32. > :01:34.and his girlfriend, the actress Meghan Markle, as they arrive
:01:35. > :02:04.Let's start with the Telegraph. The big picture of Usain Bolt. He lost
:02:05. > :02:09.and only got a bronze. What does that say about the world of
:02:10. > :02:14.athletics? It is a great picture because the winner has his back to
:02:15. > :02:18.the camera which tells the story. No one cares about the winner because
:02:19. > :02:23.he is a drugs cheat and he got booed when he won and all the rest of it.
:02:24. > :02:29.But Bolt took the adulation of the crowd because he has been a great
:02:30. > :02:33.athlete and I have to say, I'm quite pleased he lost. That might be
:02:34. > :02:38.controversial. It proves he is human. If he finished and had never
:02:39. > :02:47.been beaten, there will be questions as to how he has been so invincible.
:02:48. > :02:54.I think it has humanised him a bit more. Controversy about the crowd
:02:55. > :02:59.booing and jeering Gatlin. Some say people should just have been silent.
:03:00. > :03:03.Fans will do what they want to do. Booing is an acceptable reaction,
:03:04. > :03:12.just like cheering is when someone wins. It was interesting, the
:03:13. > :03:17.interviews we saw with athletes afterwards how Usain Bolt, rather
:03:18. > :03:24.than looking back at his or saying that he had been beaten by someone
:03:25. > :03:34.who had been banned for being a drugs cheat, he just talked about
:03:35. > :03:41.his performance. A lot of people also say that if you are dropped for
:03:42. > :03:49.drugs cheating once and even twice, you should be banned for life.
:03:50. > :03:58.Gatlin's win adds to that argument. You same bolt is retiring because he
:03:59. > :04:12.is 30 and knocking on, but Justin Gatlin is 35. It does seem unusual,
:04:13. > :04:17.to say the least. Let us move on to the main story in the Sunday
:04:18. > :04:22.Telegraph, the EU Brexit divorce bill. There has been talk about how
:04:23. > :04:27.much the divorce feel might be. 100 billion is the top and figure, but
:04:28. > :04:33.now for the first time, according to the Sunday Telegraph, we have got a
:04:34. > :04:38.figure. It is 40 billion euros, or ?36 billion. Does that sound about
:04:39. > :04:44.right? Who can say? So many figures are floating around, but what is
:04:45. > :04:49.clear is that we will pay so Boris Johnson's statement that the EU can
:04:50. > :04:53.go whistle, we need not pay any attention to it. We will have to
:04:54. > :04:59.make contributions to the EU after we have left in order to maintain
:05:00. > :05:02.certain benefits and smooth the way to a transitional arrangement. What
:05:03. > :05:09.is interesting is the sourcing for this story. This isn't one random
:05:10. > :05:13.person saying this, there are three separate sources in Whitehall and
:05:14. > :05:18.government. This is probably a fairly excepted fact in the Civil
:05:19. > :05:23.Service in Whitehall and it's now a question of managing the media and
:05:24. > :05:26.people's expectations. That is tricky because a lot of people who
:05:27. > :05:32.voted for Brexit will say that we should not have to pay a penny. This
:05:33. > :05:38.takes us back to the misinformation of the EU referendum campaign.
:05:39. > :05:42.People who voted for Brexit and who believe in that side of the argument
:05:43. > :05:45.were told that. It was wrong that they were told that, so it's
:05:46. > :05:52.understandable they make that assumption. James, this is something
:05:53. > :05:59.that has to be sorted out from the EU's point of view. If we are going
:06:00. > :06:03.to have a new trade agreement, this has to be sorted out. This figure of
:06:04. > :06:11.36 billion, I have a problem with that. I have have just been on
:06:12. > :06:20.holiday and I think that 40 billion euros equals 40 billion quid! It
:06:21. > :06:24.seems we will be paying for access to EU benefits, which will cost
:06:25. > :06:29.about ?10 billion a year. The actual pay-out that we have to fork out for
:06:30. > :06:35.our liability in terms of projects that are ongoing in Eastern Europe,
:06:36. > :06:39.pensions, buildings, all this sort of literary bricks and mortar in
:06:40. > :06:44.some cases, that they are saying will be 10 billion. I'm not sure the
:06:45. > :06:54.EU will settle for just 10 billion. We know what the EU figure is, it is
:06:55. > :06:58.60 billion. But this figure, is it the British offer, if you like and
:06:59. > :07:04.it's not necessarily what the EU are going to settle for? It's a haggling
:07:05. > :07:09.process. It is, and this is a low first appeared. I'm sure somewhere
:07:10. > :07:18.deep in Whitehall is the upper bound of what they will go to. That will
:07:19. > :07:24.be interesting. James, let's talk about children bingeing on social
:07:25. > :07:30.media. The children za is warning of kids being on the tablets and
:07:31. > :07:34.smartphones all the time. It's like junk food. It is a good Sunday story
:07:35. > :07:40.because all parents are concerned that the children are on screen is
:07:41. > :07:45.too much. But parents have been worried about that since the dawn of
:07:46. > :07:50.television to some extent. It is interesting because kids don't watch
:07:51. > :07:54.television any more. They do watch YouTube as social media. That's just
:07:55. > :08:03.the way it is, things have changed. There is a lot of talk about
:08:04. > :08:07.comparing it to junk food. I am sure parents will be screaming at the
:08:08. > :08:21.television right now. Stop them bingeing on social media, but how do
:08:22. > :08:33.you do it? The children Tsar doesn't seem to have any ideas of how to do
:08:34. > :08:38.this. Adults of a problem with this as well. Speaking for myself, none
:08:39. > :08:43.of us seem to be able to do much about it. The stories light on
:08:44. > :08:49.evidence that it is bad for kids. I know there is a feeling that should
:08:50. > :08:51.be out climbing trees rather than watching YouTube, but there is a lot
:08:52. > :08:57.of good stuff on the Internet. There was a balance to be struck. I
:08:58. > :09:03.suppose one of the things is that they don't read books as much as
:09:04. > :09:07.they used to? The summer Reading challenge comes around every year
:09:08. > :09:14.and they are encouraged to go to the library. It doesn't have to be an
:09:15. > :09:17.either or. Speaking of education, the Sunday Times said that
:09:18. > :09:22.universities are taking foreign students ahead of British students.
:09:23. > :09:26.Is that true? That's what the story is suggesting. It's a good story for
:09:27. > :09:30.the moment because we have a level results coming up next week and the
:09:31. > :09:39.obligatory picture of some happy students hugging each other. Female
:09:40. > :09:42.students. Of course. This is less a story about students are more about
:09:43. > :09:48.universities in the way they are funded because what lies behind this
:09:49. > :09:53.is not that universities wish to betray sixth formers, but just that
:09:54. > :09:57.non-EU international students bring in higher fees. Universities have
:09:58. > :10:02.had the government grants cut progressively and have to make up
:10:03. > :10:06.the shortfall somehow. With Brexit coming along, EU students, there is
:10:07. > :10:14.a lot of uncertainty about how many will be admitted, so this kind of
:10:15. > :10:18.makes sense. The suggestion is they can get into British universities
:10:19. > :10:24.with lower academic requirements. Nothing like with the A-levels,
:10:25. > :10:29.where you need two az and a B. Yes, they have these access courses that
:10:30. > :10:33.are being run by two or three big companies that they say will
:10:34. > :10:42.guarantee you a place at university, but you do have to passed the course
:10:43. > :10:47.to get in. It does play into that fear, especially if you have kids
:10:48. > :10:53.who have taken A-levels. Will they be beaten to the line? They are
:10:54. > :11:01.using figures in an interesting way. For an example, Manchester
:11:02. > :11:05.University, British graduates have declined by 10%. In terms of bold
:11:06. > :11:11.numbers, those figures will be different because there will be 10%
:11:12. > :11:27.of a huge bigger number of British undergraduates and 50% of a smaller
:11:28. > :11:30.number. The journalist dudes pose as an international student and he was
:11:31. > :11:39.told that he would be guaranteed a place. I think we are getting ahead
:11:40. > :11:53.of ourselves. I think that was just one incident. All right, let us have
:11:54. > :11:58.a look at the mail on Sunday. Criminal - 40% of police stations
:11:59. > :12:02.shut down. We think about fuh bobbies on the beat, on the street
:12:03. > :12:17.maybe, but this is about police stations. -- fuh bobbies. The
:12:18. > :12:31.figures on this one are quite controversial. There has been a lot
:12:32. > :12:39.of discussion after the recent terrorist attacks. I think the Daily
:12:40. > :12:46.Mail has gone with this because he was the Home Secretary in 2010? I
:12:47. > :13:01.think it is a coded attack against the Prime Minister. Good analysis.
:13:02. > :13:05.And, of course, Amber Rudd is the current Home Secretary and is being
:13:06. > :13:10.talked up as the next leader of the Conservative Party. Is it a bit like
:13:11. > :13:14.high street banks? Some people might argue that you don't need as many
:13:15. > :13:23.police stations physically as had we had in the past? What was the last
:13:24. > :13:29.time any of us and she went to a police station? I used to go as a
:13:30. > :13:33.cop reporter, but I haven't been for a very long time, but there is
:13:34. > :13:38.something about closing police stations. It makes you think that
:13:39. > :13:46.it's a bit dodgy. There seems to be only one police station in
:13:47. > :13:52.Northumbria that you can walk into. What people would want to know is
:13:53. > :13:57.because this is a worry headline, is that OK, police stations are being
:13:58. > :14:02.cut, but our police response times good? If I call 999 the nonemergency
:14:03. > :14:09.number, will someone still come and help quickly as possible? If the
:14:10. > :14:14.response times are good, maybe people won't mind that there aren't
:14:15. > :14:21.as many police stations. The last story, Prince Harry sweeping Megan
:14:22. > :14:30.off to Botswana. A lot of papers are wondering whether he will propose.
:14:31. > :14:39.Probably not! As I have learned from the mail on Sunday, they have
:14:40. > :14:50.previous coverage of when Prince Harry took his former girlfriend
:14:51. > :14:57.Chelsea to Africa with the same headline. Does the new statesman
:14:58. > :15:05.have a view on this? People going on holiday, but them. Are you
:15:06. > :15:10.fascinated by Megan and Harry? I can't say I am, to be honest? There
:15:11. > :15:13.has been so much bad news and whatever you think of royal
:15:14. > :15:18.weddings, they are big news to most people in the country, but actually
:15:19. > :15:21.a royal wedding to look forward to is perhaps what the country needs to
:15:22. > :15:25.look forward to to bring it together after all the Brexit staff. So you
:15:26. > :15:31.are calling for a royal wedding? That or an England World Cup win. I
:15:32. > :15:37.think the royal wedding is more likely!
:15:38. > :15:46.Just a reminder we take a look at tomorrows front pages every
:15:47. > :15:56.Coming up on BBC One after this programme is Sunday Morning Live.
:15:57. > :16:03.With the details, we say good morning to Sean Fletcher.
