:00:07. > :00:10.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:11. > :00:13.With me are Katie Martin of the Financial Times
:00:14. > :00:18.Both of them got the memo about black attire!
:00:19. > :00:21.Tomorrow's front pages, The Daily Express leads on the war
:00:22. > :00:23.of words between North Korea and President Donald Trump who says
:00:24. > :00:28.the US is locked and loaded in readiness for battle.
:00:29. > :00:35.The Times headlines a change in tack from the Royal College
:00:36. > :00:37.of Midwives who say they've dropped their decade-long campaign
:00:38. > :00:39.for normal births after it made women feel like failures.
:00:40. > :00:41.The Daily Telegraph questions standards at universities after it
:00:42. > :00:43.emerged some of the nation's most prestigious establishments
:00:44. > :00:45.are offering students places regardless of their exam grades.
:00:46. > :00:48.The Daily Mail claims drivers and homeowners
:00:49. > :00:51.who pay their insurance monthly are being charged hundreds of pounds
:00:52. > :01:01.The Sun leads with a poll that most British people want to see Prince
:01:02. > :01:06.William and -- as king and leap frog Prince Charles. The Daily Mirror
:01:07. > :01:09.says the owner of the car that Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed
:01:10. > :01:13.in wants to put it on display in a museum. The Guardian headlines the
:01:14. > :01:17.conviction of 11 people from one family in Lincolnshire who have been
:01:18. > :01:21.convicted of involvement with a modern day slavery ring. We return
:01:22. > :01:25.to North Korea with claims that the White House has used a back channel
:01:26. > :01:31.for talks with Kim Jong-un 's regime.
:01:32. > :01:38.Locked and loaded is this headline as President Bush says that the --
:01:39. > :01:40.President Trump says that the US military is ready to take on North
:01:41. > :01:45.Korea when it comes to it. Brinkmanship it is said to be. North
:01:46. > :01:50.Korea are said to feel frightened even though they are carrying out
:01:51. > :01:53.these missile tests. Yes, you can trade barbs about who started it but
:01:54. > :01:56.it is a bit schoolboyish. What the world really needs now and what
:01:57. > :02:03.Germany has called for and China has called for is calm. What we have
:02:04. > :02:06.instead is Donald Trump saying that military options are locked and
:02:07. > :02:11.loaded and ready to go should North Korea act unwisely, which is a
:02:12. > :02:16.statement issued in a tweet. This is how modern-day diplomacy works.
:02:17. > :02:21.There was no obvious sign at the moment that either the Korean side
:02:22. > :02:27.or Donald Trump is ready to back down. No. You have the regional
:02:28. > :02:31.neighbours, South Korea and particular and Japan, over which
:02:32. > :02:37.these missiles would fly, if North Korea were to launch them, you have
:02:38. > :02:40.got everyone extremely anxious. You have two spare the thoughts for the
:02:41. > :02:47.Islanders in Guam who have been told to lie flat in the ground and have
:02:48. > :02:51.been issued leaflets about what to do. There are about 6000 American
:02:52. > :02:56.troops there and the island is in the middle of nowhere but it has a
:02:57. > :02:59.defence system ready to shoot down missiles if they are coming in their
:03:00. > :03:04.way, but you have got to feel for these people who live there. China
:03:05. > :03:14.is supposed to be the one country who can talk some sense into North
:03:15. > :03:18.Korea, but even they appear to be waning confidence. The ability of
:03:19. > :03:23.China to control what North Korea does has been vastly overstated over
:03:24. > :03:28.the years. It is not like the president can just pick up phone and
:03:29. > :03:31.make it all stop. It doesn't all work like that. There are signs that
:03:32. > :03:34.there are diplomatic back channels and there has been some kind of
:03:35. > :03:39.contact between North Korea and people connected to the White House.
:03:40. > :03:43.It has been assumed to be contact that is dealing with the hostage
:03:44. > :03:47.situations in North Korea in terms of US citizens that are held over
:03:48. > :03:51.there but actually it turns out they have been talking much more broadly
:03:52. > :03:54.in recent weeks and so maybe that can help to defuse the situation
:03:55. > :04:00.somewhat but neither side wants to be seen to be backing down. You
:04:01. > :04:04.wonder what pressure the international community can put on.
:04:05. > :04:09.In Iran in the end they became a carrot to go with the stick. At the
:04:10. > :04:12.moment more sanctions for North Korea are negative incentives, if
:04:13. > :04:18.you like, to get them to stop firing missiles. You wonder if there is any
:04:19. > :04:22.appetite anywhere for a positive incentive, if it is through
:04:23. > :04:27.diplomatic channels, as Angela Merkel has been talking about. As
:04:28. > :04:32.the rhetoric we have been saying, where does it" Mackey says will
:04:33. > :04:36.regret it and regret it fast and at least him with nowhere to go. We
:04:37. > :04:41.would all regret it if it was to happen. In the Times the midwives
:04:42. > :04:45.back down on natural childbirth. Current policy makes women feel like
:04:46. > :04:49.failures if you have to have a Caesarean -- Caesarean, and of
:04:50. > :04:52.course a lot of women do, that is a difficult thing. This campaign to
:04:53. > :04:59.deter us from having interventions has been going on since 2005. It
:05:00. > :05:02.has, indeed. More than a quarter of women end up having a Caesarean,
:05:03. > :05:06.whether through choice because they are forced to have one at the last
:05:07. > :05:11.minute and the last thing women need is to end up feeling this way and
:05:12. > :05:17.have this pressure put on them at this time particularly. It is a
:05:18. > :05:21.change of tack here from the Royal College of midwives and I think it
:05:22. > :05:27.is a welcome one. I think mums to be will welcome this change. Which
:05:28. > :05:32.reminds me of some of the forceful breast-feeding campaigns that get
:05:33. > :05:36.mounted now and if you can't breast-feed or you don't want to you
:05:37. > :05:41.feel like you are a second-rate mum. Yes, I am delighted to see this
:05:42. > :05:44.story because I think a lot of the instructions that women get about
:05:45. > :05:48.how to give birth on how to breast-feed and how to bottle feed
:05:49. > :05:54.on whether to bottle feed, it is all built up into a huge commercial and
:05:55. > :05:57.public health enterprise that goes into telling mums that they are
:05:58. > :06:01.doing it wrong, everything they do they are doing it wrong. It would be
:06:02. > :06:05.nice to be told actually once in awhile that you are doing your best.
:06:06. > :06:08.If you need an epidural or a Caesarean or you need to use
:06:09. > :06:13.bottles, you're not a bad person, you will not harm your baby, quite
:06:14. > :06:22.the opposite. You are doing the best thing for your health and the baby
:06:23. > :06:24.'s health and it is really time for the medical and a lot of other
:06:25. > :06:27.people to think about the extent to which they are bullying new mothers
:06:28. > :06:30.at a time when frankly they are not in the mood for fun and games. No,
:06:31. > :06:35.you are feeling pretty vulnerable, aren't you? I had a fantastic health
:06:36. > :06:39.visitor who said, do you think you're doing the right thing? And I
:06:40. > :06:43.said, I think so, and she said, then you are. Carry on! Eminently
:06:44. > :06:47.sensible and I have always been grateful to her. The Daily
:06:48. > :06:51.Telegraph. Unconditional offers being an out left and right and
:06:52. > :06:54.centre. It means you don't have to get particular grades to get a
:06:55. > :07:01.place. Didn't work like that in my day! Normally. The story is saying
:07:02. > :07:04.that universe have such pressure to have students on the books that they
:07:05. > :07:09.dish out a lot more unconditional offers than they once were.
:07:10. > :07:13.Unconditional offers from Edinburgh have trebled from 2012. You would
:07:14. > :07:18.feel pretty lucky to get a place at Edinburgh without having to hit
:07:19. > :07:21.those targets. Exactly! For Birmingham the rate has doubled
:07:22. > :07:24.apparently and it raises concerns about standards. There have always
:07:25. > :07:33.been unconditional offers and about to some, if you have particularly
:07:34. > :07:35.impressed them. And it it's a different system in Scotland because
:07:36. > :07:39.you are a bit younger and you have another year to do your hires. I
:07:40. > :07:42.have to say that this is another story about universities that is
:07:43. > :07:48.negative that we have had over the past few weeks and we have had a lot
:07:49. > :07:52.of discussion about university pay particularly. You know, students are
:07:53. > :07:58.now having to pay ?9,000 a year in tuition fees. If you wonder where it
:07:59. > :08:03.is going, it is going to pay vice chancellors who are earning ?450,000
:08:04. > :08:06.a year. The Bath University Vice Chancellor, there were some
:08:07. > :08:10.information that yesterday, some details about pay, where there is
:08:11. > :08:15.hundreds of university staff earning more than ?200,000 a year and some
:08:16. > :08:19.are earning over ?800,000 a year and they can be clinicians working in
:08:20. > :08:24.Oxford but also lecturing so I put that caveat in there but they have
:08:25. > :08:27.two fail and once you have that money coming in Europe to keep it
:08:28. > :08:32.coming in and Europe to keep people coming in and so I do not think that
:08:33. > :08:42.this is the last story we will see of this sort. The sun has an
:08:43. > :08:55.exclusive shock poll. Most Brits want King William. They want to
:08:56. > :09:01.leapfrog over Charles. Are you surprised? I will not answer that.
:09:02. > :09:07.Does it surprise you. Guild we have had a few weeks of extensive
:09:08. > :09:14.coverage of Princess Diana and her life and controversial programmes on
:09:15. > :09:19.the television this week and out of 2000 people who were surveyed in
:09:20. > :09:31.this case quarters said that they had seen the programme and that they
:09:32. > :09:34.wanted Prince William which is fairly obvious and more than half
:09:35. > :09:38.backed him as the next king and only one fifth think it should be Prince
:09:39. > :09:43.Charles. It is not done on opinion polls though, is it? I thought the
:09:44. > :09:47.whole idea was that it is immutable and you cannot just pick and choose,
:09:48. > :09:54.so I find this poll quite interesting. Pointless ultimately?
:09:55. > :09:59.Yes, possibly. Over half of the Brits wanted to be William, fine,
:10:00. > :10:04.but one statistic that caught my eye is that 11% wanted to be Harry and
:10:05. > :10:11.14% say no one. Sorry, Harry! That is a bit of a poke in the eye. No
:10:12. > :10:17.one at all. I don't have that is Jeremy Corbyn! I am not sure if it
:10:18. > :10:20.will make any difference but it will not be nice breakfast reading for
:10:21. > :10:29.Prince Charles. He has waited for such a long time! The Times, page
:10:30. > :10:33.seven. Police resignations double in a four years. Why are so many people
:10:34. > :10:37.leaving the force? They are fed up and worried about safety and
:10:38. > :10:43.resources and this is what the story is saying. It is a Freedom of
:10:44. > :10:48.information request posed by the Times which has Leal -- which has
:10:49. > :10:53.yielded this information. The number of police officers or police staff
:10:54. > :10:57.quitting is at a record high and it has doubled since 2011 on what the
:10:58. > :11:02.story is saying that while certain types of crime on the up police
:11:03. > :11:06.numbers are at a 30 year low and it is important to note that the number
:11:07. > :11:10.of resignations that we are seeing is in addition to those retiring.
:11:11. > :11:16.This is a fair number of people and it does add to this growing chorus
:11:17. > :11:20.of calls for Amber Rudd the Home Secretary to pump more money into
:11:21. > :11:23.the police force. If they are overstretched stress levels and
:11:24. > :11:27.sickness levels rise and there stresses and strains keep growing.
:11:28. > :11:31.We forget what we are asking police officers to do on a daily basis,
:11:32. > :11:37.which is put their lives on the line to protect the rest of us and there
:11:38. > :11:42.is an example here of a gentleman, a university graduate, who joined the
:11:43. > :11:45.Met at 2009 and was fired up to be a constable and DeWitt and five years
:11:46. > :11:50.later he has quit because he is beleaguered and demoralised. There
:11:51. > :11:52.is talk of cuts and obviously Theresa May gave a speech a couple
:11:53. > :11:57.of years ago which was Home Secretary where she spoke about
:11:58. > :12:02.reshaping the Police Federation and wanting them to stop moaning but you
:12:03. > :12:06.have the cuts and the difficulties there, and you have the fact that
:12:07. > :12:10.when you join you know you have 30 years, and you resign at the end of
:12:11. > :12:13.it and you have a nice pension but you also have the loss of experience
:12:14. > :12:18.and knowledge that just vanishes when they leave and that experience
:12:19. > :12:23.and knowledge is really vital and it really needs to be there to bring up
:12:24. > :12:27.the younger officers. A lot of those new recruits certainly won't be
:12:28. > :12:32.staying for 30 years, by the look of things. The FT, tax burden and
:12:33. > :12:37.landlords turn to Manchester, so if you have a few quid and you want to
:12:38. > :12:42.buy to let, head north. Actually, cherie Blair, and her son Euan,
:12:43. > :12:46.quite a few years ago they bought up blocks of flats in Manchester just
:12:47. > :12:52.to do that. They spotted the hotspot that Manchester clearly years now.
:12:53. > :12:58.There is the BBC and a lot of other organisations joining and it is
:12:59. > :13:02.clearly very popular and more affordable. A lot of people now are
:13:03. > :13:06.not coming to London anymore, graduates coming to London because
:13:07. > :13:09.rents are pretty unaffordable but actually you can go somewhere like
:13:10. > :13:15.Manchester where you can enjoy all of the features of a big city,
:13:16. > :13:21.concerts and culture and everything else, but it is a bit cheaper. A bit
:13:22. > :13:23.cheaper, but there is the stamp duty cost of putting investors. The
:13:24. > :13:28.Conservatives have said if they do not disagree about it it will cost
:13:29. > :13:32.votes. Apparently London has always had roughly three times the number
:13:33. > :13:34.of buy to let mortgages as other cities like Manchester but actually
:13:35. > :13:39.the rate of new buy to let mortgages in London as half since 2016 and it
:13:40. > :13:45.is very much about the new tax that is placed on purchasing new
:13:46. > :13:48.properties so, yes, there are a lot of people desperately searching
:13:49. > :13:52.around London for the last cheap property that they can buy and rent
:13:53. > :13:56.out to some poor and unsuspecting soul. Actually, Lachlan was saying,
:13:57. > :14:01.may be better off just looking outside London altogether. Whether
:14:02. > :14:05.this is a good thing for renters in cities outside London is a whole
:14:06. > :14:10.other question, but nonetheless it is difficult to stop the market
:14:11. > :14:13.forces once they are in place. People with money to spam will look
:14:14. > :14:19.for a good place to invest it. Let us look at a back page. Mo Farah 's
:14:20. > :14:27.last lap. We move onto Guardian. Thank you. He warms up for the final
:14:28. > :14:34.tilt at track gold. He is running tomorrow night in the 5000 metres
:14:35. > :14:40.and the crowd will be in fine voice no doubt, to see it. Yes, I am
:14:41. > :14:45.running five K tomorrow as well but I doubt it will be quite so exciting
:14:46. > :14:49.and it will be nowhere near as fast. This is a big opportunity for the
:14:50. > :14:53.nation to bid farewell to Mo Farah. This is his last turn on the track
:14:54. > :14:59.before he has a more relaxing life running marathons or something. He
:15:00. > :15:05.won the 10,000 metres a week ago when going for the 5000 metres
:15:06. > :15:09.tomorrow and it is hugely exciting because he is purely any person who
:15:10. > :15:13.has won anything for us. There was that. A bit of a dearth of medals.
:15:14. > :15:18.They were hoping for between six and eight. Not so good. We have been
:15:19. > :15:23.watching him for about seven years now. This was the third gold that he
:15:24. > :15:26.took in the 10,000 metres this week, I think. Brendan Foster described
:15:27. > :15:29.him as a ruthless running machine and Paula Radcliffe said it was one
:15:30. > :15:32.of the best races he has run and there was a great picture of him
:15:33. > :15:36.with his cheeky smile so I don't think there will be any booing in
:15:37. > :15:41.the stadium when he starts the race. That is the problem. When you have
:15:42. > :15:47.had a fantastic generation of athletes, who we watched in 2012 in
:15:48. > :15:53.London at the Olympics, and it is great to see them back in London for
:15:54. > :15:56.this, but you get used to that level of success, don't you? And in Rio as
:15:57. > :16:00.well. But eventually they have to retiring to have to replace them and
:16:01. > :16:05.give them time. Yes, teams need time to renew and I was lucky enough to
:16:06. > :16:08.get the stadium twice this week to see the sport and it was fantastic
:16:09. > :16:14.and, yes, there are a number of events where the British team came
:16:15. > :16:18.forth and from where I was sitting there was no lack of support for
:16:19. > :16:23.these guys earned huge admiration for some seriously plucky efforts.
:16:24. > :16:27.These were underdogs that way of running their hearts out and I think
:16:28. > :16:31.the crowd was absolutely with the man they have some faith that they
:16:32. > :16:36.can come through for us next time. Is it apart from that you are doing
:16:37. > :16:39.tomorrow? I am obsessed with park runs. They are a bit early for me
:16:40. > :16:46.after a late Friday night and that is my excuse. No is the only
:16:47. > :16:53.medallist at these championships. I think we did say that. I did say
:16:54. > :16:58.that. Thank you, Amanda, she sent me a message to make sure that we know.
:16:59. > :17:01.There was no escaping here, it is a goldfish bowl! Let us finish with
:17:02. > :17:07.Page three of the holiday -- Daily Express. It is holiday season. I
:17:08. > :17:10.hope you're going with someone more cheerful than this if you are going
:17:11. > :17:15.on holiday. This is a woman on Mumsnet complaining about the extent
:17:16. > :17:21.of this man's dissatisfaction with being away on holiday. He has not
:17:22. > :17:25.been told that nobody likes a man on holiday or otherwise. His complaints
:17:26. > :17:32.were being too hot, the beach being to Sandy, mountain is being too
:17:33. > :17:37.stony and foreign chocolate being not a patch on British. That is a
:17:38. > :17:45.reasonable complaint I think. Defends Warriors in Europe. Belgium
:17:46. > :17:48.maybe not. Switzerland. He would be happy there. I think she should go
:17:49. > :17:53.on holiday with a friend instead of him. It sounds like he has been
:17:54. > :17:57.complaining about some pretty interesting stuff and the story says
:17:58. > :18:03.that what makes it worse is that he chose to resort himself. There was
:18:04. > :18:09.clearly no pleasing some people. My favourite complaint of his is that
:18:10. > :18:12.he doesn't like being told things by people, i:e., the tour guide with
:18:13. > :18:17.expert knowledge. Brilliant. He should be sent on a coach trip. You
:18:18. > :18:18.can stay at home next year. He should come away with us, we would
:18:19. > :18:24.have a great time. Don't forget you can see the front
:18:25. > :18:28.pages of The Papers online It's all there for
:18:29. > :18:31.you seven days a week. And if you miss the programme any
:18:32. > :18:41.evening you can watch it Good luck tomorrow morning. Make
:18:42. > :18:42.sure you do your stretches. The weather is coming up
