13/08/2017 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are David Wooding of The Sun on Sunday and the writer

Good morning and thank you both some at her being with us. Let's take a

look at what the front pages have. The violence in Charlottesville

happened too late to catch most of the Sunday papers,

but lets look at the front pages. The Telegraph reports Cabinet

will pledge the UK's commitment to leave the single market

and custom union after Brexit - after a summer of

infighting over the issue. Former Labour minister

David Miliband enters the Brexit debate in the Observer -

as he calls for another vote on how The Mail on Sunday says

the prime minister is to apologise to Tory supporters

in a bid to save her job. Model Chloe Ayling, who says

she was kidnapped in Italy, also shares her full story

in the paper. The Sunday Times has

more on measures to stop a dip in exam results -

following tougher GCSE The paper also carries

a photo of Mo Farah, who just missed out on a golden

goodbye at the world athletics Let's kick off with the Sunday

Telegraph, so much apparent disunity within the Cabinet on Brexit. Philip

Hammond and the others arguing but now there seems to be perhaps a

degree of unanimity? Yes, peace has broken out in the Cabinet over

Brexit! Two of the fiercest opponents inside the Cabinet on

Brexit, Liam Fox, the International Trade secretary who is a devout

Brexiteer and Philip Hammond, a die-hard remainder, have written a

joint article for the Sunday Telegraph saying we are singing from

the same hymn sheet, singing with one voice, the view is there will be

an interim concessional period, they don't say how long it is, crucially,

but after that it will be a full Brexit which will involve leaving

the single market, leaving the customs union and removing Britain

from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. They have

agreed on that and this has removed that element of what Philip Hammond

was dry to do... Does that mean he has lost the debate? It seems to me

like it's a bit of a compromise. Liam Fox clearly did not want a

transitional period of any sort, he thought it will be what will be

dubbed a cliff edge in March 20 19. Philip Hammond once this

transitional period seen by the other side as remaining by the back

door. He has accepted that must be a transition period but for a limited

period, but we don't know how long. That is the key, how long is the

transition? Philip Hammond. Thing about up to three years. I would

have thought that was a sensible amount of time. I think they

probably bought it down to 18 months, two years. It also says over

the next ten days as we get new proposals coming through it is

understood Theresa May will offer free movement to Irish citizens in

and out of Britain so that sounds like the Irish prime ministers will

get his answer at last to what is the plan. There is a sort of

Schengen area between Ireland and Great Britain? There has been since

the 1920s. People who are a little bit younger than I will not remember

life before the European Union when in fact, Britain and the Republic of

Ireland had already eight Schengen style deal, the forefather of

Schengen. Even during the troubles, you could dry across, you would get

stuffed by British troops to wanted to know where you were going and

what you were doing, the hard bit will be getting from Northern

Ireland over to the mainland. But of course Northern Ireland, sorry, the

Republic of Ireland is not part of Schengen anyway, so it won't make

that much difference, I think people will and are making too much of it.

Let's look at the Observer, we mentioned David Miliband, who lost

out to his brother Ed for the Labour leadership and is now in America. He

has some things to say about Brexit. He's been praising Philip Hammond,

he says I never thought I would say this but Philip Hammond is also

playing an important, even valiant role, the transition of the county

advocates is vital. Perhaps we should have done this before the

Telegraph what he's advocating we are now learning from the Telegraph

has been agreed in two loose way. We have remained voters and leave

voters coming together to stayed there should be a transition period,

dependent on how long it will be but David Miliband, obviously, is

massively against Brexit. And you know, no doubt would support any

kind of anti Brexit parties should there be one but it's quite

interesting, he has almost foreseen what was going to be said this

weekend and said he approves of that. There has been quite a lot of

talk of office bring, about setting up a new anti Brexit political

party, what do you hear? Allegedly a couple of Cabinet investors who were

talking about, we don't know who they are, wanting to be in this new

centre party cold the Democrats who strangely, don't want to accept the

democratic will of the people in a referendum! Inevitably speculation

that David Miliband wants to be part of this but I think that but has

felt for him, he mist out on the Labour leadership, not even an MP

but he could be a spokesperson for a new sort of, all party soft Brexit.

He's not putting himself forward enough. He seems to respond but when

someone asks him for an opinion he is reluctant to give one. I don't

get the sense of entrusting himself back into politics. It's a great

shame to have lost, he was a big player and could have gone on to

great things. Let's talk about the Mail on Sunday, Theresa May, back to

work this week after her walking holiday. Talking about how she is

going to make a grovelling apology at the Conservative Party conference

for losing the corona's majority at the election, catastrophic

destruction. She will make this before her big speech, normally

Wednesday lunchtime, she will make on the Sunday, probably on

prime-time television, it is mea culpa. I am sorry, is this a Latin

lesson? I was much too slow. It's got shades of Tony Blair in 2003

when the Iraq war, he was under a lot of pressure and he did what was

dubbed the masochism strategy, he went out and met a load of relatives

of those who had been killed or injured in the Iraq war to try and

show his sorrow about what had happened. There is a feeling there

is a little bit of that and what Theresa May was planning to do and

she has to go through that because there is no doubt this conference

will set the tone for ever she goes next. Isn't this a statement of the

obvious? Obviously she's going to have to apologise, she really messed

up and she cannot keep pulling the wool over this, I know she keeps

going on walking holidays, I note that you went on one. I don't know

what exciting... But you know... For goodness' sake, this is October,

what will happen between now and October? After the election people

said she could maybe only last a few days, she is still there. She will

last a feud months. She's only there because they want to be there,

nobody who wants the wants to take over the entry that she has at the

moment. They want her to sort out the mess. Does that mean she stays

until after Brexit? That is the ideal scenario, most of the possible

runners want her to sort rakes it out and for them to breeze in and

take over in time for the next election. It will be breathing in

and taking over it will be cleaning up with a very large dustpan and

brush, wanted? Do you think if she does this mea culpa, does that in

some way help her, does it take the sting out of the wind? She's done,

said it on television to the nation, said it took Cabinet but this is...

And I think she said it to the 1922 backbench MPs. It is the first time

she will of met the party faithful, the activists, and they feel

betrayed. It's like raising children, David. I shouldn't have to

tell you to say sorry, you should naturally have said sorry, that's

what you teach children. Second is you not understand that sorry is not

enough, I want you to change your behaviour? Stop doing the same thing

and say sorry to time, change behaviour, it right. You hit on a

good point, the other view that by making this big pronouncement on

Sunday she will show the witness which is that she failed to win a

majority and she will draw attention to that. The Sunday Times, A-level

results week this week. They are saying schools fear chaos over tough

A-levels. The marks required to secure top grades in the first

supposedly tougher new GCE A-level exams have them lowered to avert a

dramatic fall in results. Then! Let's find a stick with which to

beat, they are not beating the system, they are beating the

teenagers getting their results. So you got a grade a but you are not as

smart as your previous cohort. I have had two children go through

this, the exams are tough and party they are tough because they are so

unstructured these days. Children are learning Asian workers board of

information instead of a structure, catered meal with a starter, main

course and a pudding and actually, they are... I am getting very

confused by the analogies. There is no structure to how they are taught.

One might say they don't learn very much, it's not to say it's hard,

it's harder because there is no logic to how they are taught by the

way they are taught. It's much harder for them to get good grades

learning and see -- and easy syllabus, that's the bizarre thing.

It's all about Michael Gove when he was Education Secretary, toughening

them up, they are worried they will be so tough that few people will

reach the grades. But there has to be a balance. There is an argument

about inflation in grades, the University of Surrey, wasn't it,

giving 40% of their students first. The trouble is when you start making

education everything, it means that people are going to plate that

system. The Sunday Telegraph again and the athletics and a dramatic

picture of Mo Farah, the World Championships ending in a

disappointment, he only got silver, it is only because we are used in

Get Involved, white and emotional moment. The first time since 2011,

let's not forget, that he has failed to win any major championship. He

took defeat with great grace to the Ethiopian and the crowd were behind

him and gave him a great sendoff. It's the same with Usain Bolt, we

take for granted the fact he is going to get gold and then when he

does and it's a shock. I imagine Oxford psychologists will write

about this. I wonder if knowing this is the last took something of the

confidence? Or maybe they were overconfident. He did give it is

all, he really gave it his all, he didn't have that... And he's been an

amazing ambassador for British sport in general, reddish athletics. And

for immigrants who have come here and become part of the culture and

national heritage. It's been a great Championships, because of the sort

of twists and turns... I understand our relay team weren't, from

watching BBC News, which was the third fastest ever time. They did

indeed. One last story, here are, the Sun on Sunday. Inside,

extraordinary, a medical story about a man who had a forced own tumour in

his stomach. It was extraordinary, they removed everything including

parts of his abdominal wall, his small towel, has large bowl, his

pancreas, ten organs removed and he is a well man. It is just

extraordinary. David and I said when we looked at this, we didn't know

there were ten removable organs. There can't be much of his body

left. He had six transplants, the great thing is this guy is so

grateful to the Oxford unit, he ran a race to run -- raise money for the

transplant. I was at a dinner party the other night, someone who had

donated a kidney to his stepson who was now recovering after five weeks,

doing very well in his 20s. And we found six people within our circle

who all were tested and were happy to donate a kidney and you forget

that this is happening because there are people like you and me who are

saying, do you know what, I can help you with this and it just forces you

to think about donating organs and things after death or even while

alive. And it also shows the extraordinary advances in medical

technology that something like this is possible. Yes, very important.

This man was given 18 months to live, a tumour which was a stone in

weight removed from his stomach and the organs removed, chemotherapy and

he's now been given merely a clean bill of health. A good news story to

end the review on. Many thanks to both of you. Thank you so much, to

remind you, we will take a look at the front pages tomorrow at 10:30pm

and 11:30pm tonight. Coming up on BBC1 after this

programme is Sunday Morning Live, with the details we say good morning

to Sean Fletcher. And Emma Barnett joins him. Good

morning, Donald Trump sending a message to North Korea, we debated

whether military action by the USA will be justified. Justin Gatlin

Boyds getting a chorus of boos again, and we argued whether they

should be more forgiveness in sport. And then Esther Rantzen tells us why

she was arrested cause of a bowl of bad stew. Join us at 10am. We will.

Let's check out the latest weather. I have been liberated from my

earlier studio to see the glory of the day and it's looking really

stupendous. Very glad to say it was actually clear last night for the

greater part of the country and weather watchers as ever were out in

force to capture the overnight glory is and here in Keswick, just

standing out in that glorious sunshine. All of the above courtesy

of this area of high pressure, clearing the sky is very nicely.

This was the scene from just a short time ago, speckled cloud from the

word go across the north and north-west of Scotland, this is the

area that will see the bulk of the showers today. You get the sense on

the big picture on if I need to say anything else, a lot of try and find

weather. More in the way of showers across the Northern Isles, the

Western Isles, the northern half -- half of Scotland. Northern Ireland,

a little bit more cloud after a beautiful start, again just a

passing shower. Possibly the extent of that across the higher ground of

Wales into the south-west, else worked try and find weather, cloud

developing, would stop your fun, possibly a high of 24 degrees.

Lovely weather, what a contrast to Wednesday, we were at the Olympic

centre, an absolute deluge but a great night had by all. I am sure

everyone did. Not so great, Monday, Scotland increasing, Northern

Ireland, the first part of the day, western fringes of England, much of

Wales, the chance of some rain, things turning Chari, some of them

sharp across Northern Ireland later. Not so much in the way of rain

further east but it will cloud up, no overt near as glorious as today.

That area of low pressure taking time to push on through the British

Isles but eventually, working their way through and Tuesday, shaping up

to be a day sunny spells and across the British Isles. Make the most of

that and the dry weather that comes through in the first part of

Wednesday. Gangs to that little ridge of high pressure, a bit like

today, Robert Lee a bit more cloud, weather fronts lurking in the

Atlantic, eventually pushing that cloud and rain further east across

the edition Isles and a top temperature of 22 degrees. Phil,

thank you. That's all from me, continuing coverage on all the top

stories in the BBC News Channel. From us, goodbye.
