Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
With me are Kate Proctor, political correspondent | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
at the London Evening Standard, and journalist and | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with... | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
The Times splashes Donald Trump's stark "fire and fury" | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
warning to North Korea, in which he takes aim | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
at the country's ballistic missile programme. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
A storm warning makes the front page of the Express - | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
they expect a month's rain to fall tomorrow. | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
The Financial Times focuses on a warning from the financial watchdog | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
to the financial world of a cliff edge Brexit. | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
on the American President's fiery threat to Pyongyang | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Stamp duty stopping people from downsizing, is the claim in the | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
Daily Telegraph. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
30,000 attempts to get into the UK from France this year. Let's start | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
with the Metro. John, get us going. The words are very like Trump, but | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
sinister. Sinister, even for Trump. It will concern people in the US as | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
well is right around the world. The Washington Post have revealed that | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
North Korea has the capability of miniaturising a nuclear warhead to | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
go on their anti-ballistic missile is. Way, way ahead of expectations. | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
The Washington Post quoting defence sources in America, says that is now | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
a real possibility and we should bear in mind that these missiles | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
could apparently beat Denver or Chicago. So grave concern in the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
United States and the response from Mr Trump who is at one of his | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
golfing venues, saying that if they've continued to threaten the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
United States, the United States will respond with fire and fury such | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
as the world has never seen. Even for him, that is terrifying | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
language. It does sound like that, but we have got used to it and the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
almost immune to his outburst. The American military have made a huge | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
plate of making sure they are on the border of South Korea. They have let | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the media in and done a lot of training and showed the cameras that | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
they are ready. That is difficult -- different to the range of some of | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
these weapons. And I was reading something a few minutes before we | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
came on which it said that the American system of defence against | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
these bonds is not as smart as it might be. It strikes me that Donald | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Trump is so often using language that could send shivers but also a | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
sense of history seems to get forgotten. What does he mean "As the | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
world has never seen"? We have seen terrible things at the end of the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
first world -- Second World War, and it seemed to me that he was shooting | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
from the hip. Absolutely. Mutually assured destruction is what we have | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
learned to expect and deal with and that is what is in your mind when | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
you talk about nuclear weapons. So it feels so carefree and so worrying | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
to talk about it in that way. What do we do about it? It is a problem. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Lots of newspapers have that on their front page. The times, I want | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
to talk about something else. Home of cleek secretary backs Met chief | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
over stop and search. This has been going back and forth over the years. | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
What is this story saying? Stop and search has been hugely controversial | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
and we have seen different home secretaries including Theresa May | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
take a different stance on it. But Amber Rudd is saying that stop and | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
search has a place in policing. It should be increased. That also has | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
the support of Cressida Dick, the Commissioner. They are saying this | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
because of the number of acid attacks that have been happening, | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
particularly in the Evening Standard, this is what they write | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
about it a lot at the moment. Crime is changing and right now, at the | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
threat of acid attacks, they are saying stop and search has its uses. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
You are right to say it goes back a long way. I remember the Brixton | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
riots and stop and search was an issue then. I remember that the Home | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Secretary Theresa May criticising the Police Federation for stop and | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
search and saying they were too enthusiastic and only 10% of those | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
incidents resulted in and arrests. Stop and search at a particular | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
section of the community? Show by the researcher was directed at a | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
particular section of the community, the black community in South London. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
The Metropolitan Police backed off from that and the number of stop and | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
search incidents has reduced to 16%. So there is concern about this. As | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
you rightly say, these new acid attacks and neither attacks which | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
have seen such problems in London has caused a rethink but she has to | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
be careful that she doesn't step on Theresa May's ropes. Walking a | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
political tightrope. Amber Rudd has a comment piece inside the times and | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
she is talking about basically admitting that things were not right | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
previously, that stop and search did break down trust between the public | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
and the police, but she also says that this time it will be different | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
and I think campaign groups will be watching this like hawks, the sea | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
whether that bears out. I think a lot of police would welcome it. | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
Let's go on to the financial. The word comes back. -- let's go onto | :06:21. | :06:32. | |
the Financial Times. Brexit. Financial watchdog warns of risks to | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
stability from cliff edge Brexit. We need to take this seriously. The | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
deputy governor of the Bank of England is warning that a cliff edge | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Brexit basically, a very quick removal of UK finance and business | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
interest from the EU would end up with the most dire financial | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
consequences for the UK. The Bank of England has done an audit and says | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
that companies are making contingency plans and they are | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
seeing that if you do have this very sudden removal from the EU, it will | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
present all kinds of difficulties. We hear this a lot. I hear this from | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
people I speak to in banking. This is a real warning which is being | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
taken seriously. People there some are asked spending their days at | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
work trying to -- people face some are spending their days at work | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
trying to work on contingency plans. They would say they need time, we | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
needed transition, you can't take British interests out so quickly. | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
For those who do not study the minutiae of these things, this is | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
about no deal is better than a bad deal. Saying goodbye and slamming | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
the door. And lots of businesses would say you can't do that, you | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
need time, at least a couple of years to adjust. A couple of big | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
banks, including RBS -- RBS, say that if we do get it hard Brexit, | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
they would up stakes and go to Amsterdam. And that is true, it is | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
not scaremongering. Businesses are looking at what they would do. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
People say things like, some form of a just a month is desirable. The | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
timing is interesting because we have the next round of Brexit talks | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
going on at the end of August so I feel that big voices are getting | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
their thoughts out nice and early. Let's stick with the FT front page. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
This story has been around for a while. An engineer who works for | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Google has been sacked because he wrote an internal memo saying that | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
women were not suited to engineering jobs and basically they were better | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
suited to things related to the arts and he accused Google of putting | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
political correctness ahead of their own business interest. Sexism in the | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
workplace has had a lot of coverage of late, not least here at the BBC! | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
Yes, yes. There bosses had no hesitation in sacking him. He is | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
threatening legal action to pursue it further. His remarks were that | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
women in these areas are not suited to the job. Well, that is nonsense! | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
Just reporting what he said! Silicon valley itself, you would afford it | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
would be sensible. But male sexism seems to run right there. I was | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
really surprised to see that there is a lack of gender diversity in | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
silicon Valley. That really goes against everything you would imagine | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
about Sonny, progressive California. Really worrying, because if that is | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
the pinnacle of tech and female equality is nowhere near being as | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
good as it could be, I feel that Britain has a long way to go as | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
well. Let's return home. Kate, the Daily | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Telegraph. They have been running a campaign about stamp duty and now | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
they have got themselves a juicy headline. Stamp duty killing house | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
sales. Particular house sales, I think they mean. Top end of the | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
market, predominantly. That's what I would say. Stamp duty is shown by | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
the Telegraph to be punitive. The new rates introduced in 2014 are | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
hitting people hard, particularly in London, stamp duty costs of around | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
?40,000 to buy a family home. You have to pay a deposit and pay this | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
as well. You could be paying up to ?100,000. This was introduced with | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
intentions to try and help the lower end of the market and try and make | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
sure that stamp duty was a more achievable price for those with | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
lesser budgets but it is hitting London hard. The Telegraph clearly | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
think that there must be movement on this or they wouldn't be doing this | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
campaign. Some people of my generation are downsizing because | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
they are facing the prospect of paying a large amount in stamp duty. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
That is not an uncommon in London. The market where I live which I | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
confess is a fairly wealthy area, is dead for big houses because people | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
say why pay the government. Isn't it the old story that so often in | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
politics, things come down from above and then they have unintended | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
consequences? Classic example. They reckoned that house sales will it | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
increase by 27% if this was scrapped. I can believe it, there is | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
research out there saying that this has not brought in the money to the | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Treasury that was expected. Let's have a quick look at the | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Telegraph story at the bottom of the page. This is all about you. I hate | :12:01. | :12:14. | |
these credit delete -- parking meters where you can't put money in. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
They drive the bonkers. Give me parking meters with cash. The only | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
problem being that half the parking meters won't take the new pound | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
coins. They take cards, debit cards and credit cards. You have still got | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
to do all the faffing around. Just give me a machine that... You are | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
one of the 70% of motorists more likely to keep searching for a space | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
than parking? I will stop bringing my car in the town. You need to | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
embrace the technology and get your contactless card out. About 30 years | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
too late! Let's go back to something motoring | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
related. A story in various quarters about this job in London. Who wants | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
to talk about that first. The Evening Standard did a splash on it. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
It was really obvious that we should do that. We felt that we should do | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
that early on this morning because it was shocking. We shared this | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
video around the office early on it shows a guy jogging along and woman | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
gets in the way and he throws at the pavement and she so narrowly misses | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
being hit by a bus. She strays a little bit into the jogging Lane. | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
But he appears to push her. He pushes her away from himself into | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
the road. A guy passed in a few seconds earlier and it doesn't do | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
anything toward the guy. Just the woman. You can have those days in | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
London when things are hostile and people tell you to get out of the | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
way. But this was truly... This was 7:40am, the bridge was deserted. And | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
according to your reporter, the woman tried to remonstrate with the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
man later and he pushed her away. It has only just been revealed because | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
the police haven't had any success in tracking him down. You would have | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
thought they would find that chap. You would hope so, it has been | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
shared so much online. Everyone is horrified by the complete | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
callousness of someone to do this. So let's hope for a good result | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
because this is not the kind of thing that we should be seeing on | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
the street. Grateful to you both. Thank you very much indeed. Kate and | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
John, thank you. That is the papers for this evening. We will be doing | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
the same thing again tomorrow night at the same time. You can always see | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
the front pages of the papers online at our website. If you miss the | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
programme any evening, you can watch it later on the BBC iPlayer. For the | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
moment, goodbye. Hello. For some, Tuesday has been | :15:07. | :15:22. | |
quite a dramatic weather day and we are not done with the drama. It was | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
not like that everywhere. Scotland and Northern Ireland, speckled cloud | :15:30. | :15:31. |
