:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:19.With me are Kate Proctor, political correspondent

:00:20. > :00:22.at the London Evening Standard, and journalist and

:00:23. > :00:30.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:31. > :00:32.The Times splashes Donald Trump's stark "fire and fury"

:00:33. > :00:36.warning to North Korea, in which he takes aim

:00:37. > :00:41.at the country's ballistic missile programme.

:00:42. > :00:43.A storm warning makes the front page of the Express -

:00:44. > :00:53.they expect a month's rain to fall tomorrow.

:00:54. > :00:59.The Financial Times focuses on a warning from the financial watchdog

:01:00. > :01:00.to the financial world of a cliff edge Brexit.

:01:01. > :01:03.on the American President's fiery threat to Pyongyang

:01:04. > :01:15.Stamp duty stopping people from downsizing, is the claim in the

:01:16. > :01:20.Daily Telegraph. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports

:01:21. > :01:27.30,000 attempts to get into the UK from France this year. Let's start

:01:28. > :01:33.with the Metro. John, get us going. The words are very like Trump, but

:01:34. > :01:40.sinister. Sinister, even for Trump. It will concern people in the US as

:01:41. > :01:44.well is right around the world. The Washington Post have revealed that

:01:45. > :01:48.North Korea has the capability of miniaturising a nuclear warhead to

:01:49. > :01:57.go on their anti-ballistic missile is. Way, way ahead of expectations.

:01:58. > :02:00.The Washington Post quoting defence sources in America, says that is now

:02:01. > :02:05.a real possibility and we should bear in mind that these missiles

:02:06. > :02:09.could apparently beat Denver or Chicago. So grave concern in the

:02:10. > :02:13.United States and the response from Mr Trump who is at one of his

:02:14. > :02:17.golfing venues, saying that if they've continued to threaten the

:02:18. > :02:22.United States, the United States will respond with fire and fury such

:02:23. > :02:28.as the world has never seen. Even for him, that is terrifying

:02:29. > :02:33.language. It does sound like that, but we have got used to it and the

:02:34. > :02:37.almost immune to his outburst. The American military have made a huge

:02:38. > :02:41.plate of making sure they are on the border of South Korea. They have let

:02:42. > :02:47.the media in and done a lot of training and showed the cameras that

:02:48. > :02:52.they are ready. That is difficult -- different to the range of some of

:02:53. > :02:57.these weapons. And I was reading something a few minutes before we

:02:58. > :03:02.came on which it said that the American system of defence against

:03:03. > :03:06.these bonds is not as smart as it might be. It strikes me that Donald

:03:07. > :03:10.Trump is so often using language that could send shivers but also a

:03:11. > :03:17.sense of history seems to get forgotten. What does he mean "As the

:03:18. > :03:23.world has never seen"? We have seen terrible things at the end of the

:03:24. > :03:29.first world -- Second World War, and it seemed to me that he was shooting

:03:30. > :03:33.from the hip. Absolutely. Mutually assured destruction is what we have

:03:34. > :03:37.learned to expect and deal with and that is what is in your mind when

:03:38. > :03:42.you talk about nuclear weapons. So it feels so carefree and so worrying

:03:43. > :03:48.to talk about it in that way. What do we do about it? It is a problem.

:03:49. > :03:54.Lots of newspapers have that on their front page. The times, I want

:03:55. > :04:00.to talk about something else. Home of cleek secretary backs Met chief

:04:01. > :04:07.over stop and search. This has been going back and forth over the years.

:04:08. > :04:11.What is this story saying? Stop and search has been hugely controversial

:04:12. > :04:14.and we have seen different home secretaries including Theresa May

:04:15. > :04:19.take a different stance on it. But Amber Rudd is saying that stop and

:04:20. > :04:23.search has a place in policing. It should be increased. That also has

:04:24. > :04:28.the support of Cressida Dick, the Commissioner. They are saying this

:04:29. > :04:31.because of the number of acid attacks that have been happening,

:04:32. > :04:36.particularly in the Evening Standard, this is what they write

:04:37. > :04:41.about it a lot at the moment. Crime is changing and right now, at the

:04:42. > :04:47.threat of acid attacks, they are saying stop and search has its uses.

:04:48. > :04:51.You are right to say it goes back a long way. I remember the Brixton

:04:52. > :04:58.riots and stop and search was an issue then. I remember that the Home

:04:59. > :05:02.Secretary Theresa May criticising the Police Federation for stop and

:05:03. > :05:08.search and saying they were too enthusiastic and only 10% of those

:05:09. > :05:14.incidents resulted in and arrests. Stop and search at a particular

:05:15. > :05:17.section of the community? Show by the researcher was directed at a

:05:18. > :05:23.particular section of the community, the black community in South London.

:05:24. > :05:29.The Metropolitan Police backed off from that and the number of stop and

:05:30. > :05:34.search incidents has reduced to 16%. So there is concern about this. As

:05:35. > :05:38.you rightly say, these new acid attacks and neither attacks which

:05:39. > :05:43.have seen such problems in London has caused a rethink but she has to

:05:44. > :05:49.be careful that she doesn't step on Theresa May's ropes. Walking a

:05:50. > :05:53.political tightrope. Amber Rudd has a comment piece inside the times and

:05:54. > :05:58.she is talking about basically admitting that things were not right

:05:59. > :06:01.previously, that stop and search did break down trust between the public

:06:02. > :06:05.and the police, but she also says that this time it will be different

:06:06. > :06:12.and I think campaign groups will be watching this like hawks, the sea

:06:13. > :06:20.whether that bears out. I think a lot of police would welcome it.

:06:21. > :06:32.Let's go on to the financial. The word comes back. -- let's go onto

:06:33. > :06:37.the Financial Times. Brexit. Financial watchdog warns of risks to

:06:38. > :06:41.stability from cliff edge Brexit. We need to take this seriously. The

:06:42. > :06:46.deputy governor of the Bank of England is warning that a cliff edge

:06:47. > :06:53.Brexit basically, a very quick removal of UK finance and business

:06:54. > :06:56.interest from the EU would end up with the most dire financial

:06:57. > :07:01.consequences for the UK. The Bank of England has done an audit and says

:07:02. > :07:06.that companies are making contingency plans and they are

:07:07. > :07:10.seeing that if you do have this very sudden removal from the EU, it will

:07:11. > :07:16.present all kinds of difficulties. We hear this a lot. I hear this from

:07:17. > :07:19.people I speak to in banking. This is a real warning which is being

:07:20. > :07:26.taken seriously. People there some are asked spending their days at

:07:27. > :07:30.work trying to -- people face some are spending their days at work

:07:31. > :07:34.trying to work on contingency plans. They would say they need time, we

:07:35. > :07:40.needed transition, you can't take British interests out so quickly.

:07:41. > :07:45.For those who do not study the minutiae of these things, this is

:07:46. > :07:48.about no deal is better than a bad deal. Saying goodbye and slamming

:07:49. > :07:54.the door. And lots of businesses would say you can't do that, you

:07:55. > :08:00.need time, at least a couple of years to adjust. A couple of big

:08:01. > :08:05.banks, including RBS -- RBS, say that if we do get it hard Brexit,

:08:06. > :08:13.they would up stakes and go to Amsterdam. And that is true, it is

:08:14. > :08:19.not scaremongering. Businesses are looking at what they would do.

:08:20. > :08:24.People say things like, some form of a just a month is desirable. The

:08:25. > :08:28.timing is interesting because we have the next round of Brexit talks

:08:29. > :08:32.going on at the end of August so I feel that big voices are getting

:08:33. > :08:37.their thoughts out nice and early. Let's stick with the FT front page.

:08:38. > :08:43.This story has been around for a while. An engineer who works for

:08:44. > :08:48.Google has been sacked because he wrote an internal memo saying that

:08:49. > :08:52.women were not suited to engineering jobs and basically they were better

:08:53. > :08:55.suited to things related to the arts and he accused Google of putting

:08:56. > :09:01.political correctness ahead of their own business interest. Sexism in the

:09:02. > :09:12.workplace has had a lot of coverage of late, not least here at the BBC!

:09:13. > :09:15.Yes, yes. There bosses had no hesitation in sacking him. He is

:09:16. > :09:23.threatening legal action to pursue it further. His remarks were that

:09:24. > :09:29.women in these areas are not suited to the job. Well, that is nonsense!

:09:30. > :09:38.Just reporting what he said! Silicon valley itself, you would afford it

:09:39. > :09:42.would be sensible. But male sexism seems to run right there. I was

:09:43. > :09:46.really surprised to see that there is a lack of gender diversity in

:09:47. > :09:51.silicon Valley. That really goes against everything you would imagine

:09:52. > :09:57.about Sonny, progressive California. Really worrying, because if that is

:09:58. > :10:02.the pinnacle of tech and female equality is nowhere near being as

:10:03. > :10:09.good as it could be, I feel that Britain has a long way to go as

:10:10. > :10:14.well. Let's return home. Kate, the Daily

:10:15. > :10:18.Telegraph. They have been running a campaign about stamp duty and now

:10:19. > :10:23.they have got themselves a juicy headline. Stamp duty killing house

:10:24. > :10:30.sales. Particular house sales, I think they mean. Top end of the

:10:31. > :10:35.market, predominantly. That's what I would say. Stamp duty is shown by

:10:36. > :10:40.the Telegraph to be punitive. The new rates introduced in 2014 are

:10:41. > :10:45.hitting people hard, particularly in London, stamp duty costs of around

:10:46. > :10:51.?40,000 to buy a family home. You have to pay a deposit and pay this

:10:52. > :10:56.as well. You could be paying up to ?100,000. This was introduced with

:10:57. > :11:00.intentions to try and help the lower end of the market and try and make

:11:01. > :11:04.sure that stamp duty was a more achievable price for those with

:11:05. > :11:09.lesser budgets but it is hitting London hard. The Telegraph clearly

:11:10. > :11:14.think that there must be movement on this or they wouldn't be doing this

:11:15. > :11:17.campaign. Some people of my generation are downsizing because

:11:18. > :11:21.they are facing the prospect of paying a large amount in stamp duty.

:11:22. > :11:26.That is not an uncommon in London. The market where I live which I

:11:27. > :11:34.confess is a fairly wealthy area, is dead for big houses because people

:11:35. > :11:38.say why pay the government. Isn't it the old story that so often in

:11:39. > :11:44.politics, things come down from above and then they have unintended

:11:45. > :11:48.consequences? Classic example. They reckoned that house sales will it

:11:49. > :11:53.increase by 27% if this was scrapped. I can believe it, there is

:11:54. > :11:57.research out there saying that this has not brought in the money to the

:11:58. > :12:00.Treasury that was expected. Let's have a quick look at the

:12:01. > :12:14.Telegraph story at the bottom of the page. This is all about you. I hate

:12:15. > :12:20.these credit delete -- parking meters where you can't put money in.

:12:21. > :12:24.They drive the bonkers. Give me parking meters with cash. The only

:12:25. > :12:30.problem being that half the parking meters won't take the new pound

:12:31. > :12:34.coins. They take cards, debit cards and credit cards. You have still got

:12:35. > :12:41.to do all the faffing around. Just give me a machine that... You are

:12:42. > :12:45.one of the 70% of motorists more likely to keep searching for a space

:12:46. > :12:52.than parking? I will stop bringing my car in the town. You need to

:12:53. > :12:59.embrace the technology and get your contactless card out. About 30 years

:13:00. > :13:03.too late! Let's go back to something motoring

:13:04. > :13:09.related. A story in various quarters about this job in London. Who wants

:13:10. > :13:14.to talk about that first. The Evening Standard did a splash on it.

:13:15. > :13:20.It was really obvious that we should do that. We felt that we should do

:13:21. > :13:24.that early on this morning because it was shocking. We shared this

:13:25. > :13:30.video around the office early on it shows a guy jogging along and woman

:13:31. > :13:35.gets in the way and he throws at the pavement and she so narrowly misses

:13:36. > :13:41.being hit by a bus. She strays a little bit into the jogging Lane.

:13:42. > :13:49.But he appears to push her. He pushes her away from himself into

:13:50. > :13:52.the road. A guy passed in a few seconds earlier and it doesn't do

:13:53. > :13:57.anything toward the guy. Just the woman. You can have those days in

:13:58. > :14:05.London when things are hostile and people tell you to get out of the

:14:06. > :14:11.way. But this was truly... This was 7:40am, the bridge was deserted. And

:14:12. > :14:16.according to your reporter, the woman tried to remonstrate with the

:14:17. > :14:22.man later and he pushed her away. It has only just been revealed because

:14:23. > :14:26.the police haven't had any success in tracking him down. You would have

:14:27. > :14:31.thought they would find that chap. You would hope so, it has been

:14:32. > :14:34.shared so much online. Everyone is horrified by the complete

:14:35. > :14:37.callousness of someone to do this. So let's hope for a good result

:14:38. > :14:42.because this is not the kind of thing that we should be seeing on

:14:43. > :14:49.the street. Grateful to you both. Thank you very much indeed. Kate and

:14:50. > :14:53.John, thank you. That is the papers for this evening. We will be doing

:14:54. > :14:57.the same thing again tomorrow night at the same time. You can always see

:14:58. > :15:04.the front pages of the papers online at our website. If you miss the

:15:05. > :15:06.programme any evening, you can watch it later on the BBC iPlayer. For the

:15:07. > :15:22.moment, goodbye. Hello. For some, Tuesday has been

:15:23. > :15:29.quite a dramatic weather day and we are not done with the drama. It was

:15:30. > :15:31.not like that everywhere. Scotland and Northern Ireland, speckled cloud
