Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are Henry Mance, political correspondent | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
and public affairs consultant Jacqui Francis. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with... | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The i leads with Theresa May's battle to remain Tory leader | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
after the party lost its majority in the election. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
The Telegraph reports a call from the Conservative MP | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Jacob Rees Mogg to cut stamp duty and income tax. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Mr Mogg denies speculation that he is considering a bid | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
The Daily Express leads with Brexit and claims of a possible second | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
referendum following comments made by the former Labour leadership | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
The Financial Times says that the head of | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
the European Commission, Jean Claude Junker, is seeking | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
for tighter controls on foreign takeovers of EU companies, | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
following fears of Chinese dominance. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
The Metro leads with Charlottesville and highlights a picture | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
of the alleged killer with a Neo-Nazi group at the rally. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
And the Daily Mail reports on an NHS battle to tackle early deaths | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
We will begin with the Metro and what has been happening in | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
Charlottesville. Trump swamped by neo-Nazi row. The Lincoln to condemn | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
the bigots specifically, the groups like the KKK. It is just scary | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
because it is almost deja vu. When Trump was complaining people said | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
this was going to happen because when he was questioned about the KKK | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
and white supremacists he dodged that and almost said, who are they? | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
But they still around? Then what happened in Charlottesville he said, | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
it is terrible, bylines on all sides instead of coming straight out like | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
the governor has said and that this was a terrorist act and these were | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
white supremacists. Why is it so difficult to say that? And then it | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
turns out these individuals are quite happy saying the president | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
actually a silent about this so that means they think he agrees with | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
them. This is the President of the United States. The White House is | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
defending him and saying he has been absolutely clear about extremism of | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
all sorts. This is a question of leadership is displaying out and | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
this hasn't had a huge amount of coverage in the UK and the question | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
is what he should do when there is a neo-Nazi protest but also an act of | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
white supremacist terror, one person has been killed and others injured | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
in this event. Should the president get out there and give leadership | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
and actively condemn those who may be seen as the cause and the | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
provoking factor or should they offer attributed White House | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
briefings? Comments by unnamed officials or even by the National | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Security adviser probably won't be seen as not by many America. It | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
feels in some ways like the world has gone backwards when you see | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
things like this. It was quite chilling to see them the day before | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
the torches on the university campus. There are people in this | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
country who can remember and that just has this almost deja vu, 2017 | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
and we are here again in 1935, 19 34. What is going on? The fact he | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
won't, dim condemn them and people around him are doing the usual Trump | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
translation which is he doesn't actually mean it but he doesn't say | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
it but behind what you're saying, read between the lines. Between the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
lines: Mr President Trump, it sounds like you're them. Let's move on -- | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
supporting them. Stamp duty is featured quite a lot in the papers | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
of late. Why are the Conservatives so the bonnet was Mike also Jacob | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Rees-Mogg himself. If he wanted to explain to them, the prospect of | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Jacob Rees-Mogg as a Tory leader Prime Minister is being taken | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
seriously at since. He doesn't want that but if he did wanted this is | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
what he would do. It is barely predictable that someone who is an | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
old Italian, a fund manager on the front of the -- read of the | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Conservative Party thinks that government should cut taxes and give | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
individuals control over their incomes and I think that is the | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
standard agenda but Theresa May at her advisers don't think this is a | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
winning strategy. The stamp duty idea is that if people want to own a | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
house that might be putting of people moving or downsizing because | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
it is such an extra cost for them. At the end of the day is this really | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
about Stamp duty or is it about Jacob Rees-Mogg being the papers yet | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
again. I think he does protest too much. Again I don't want her job, I | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
am a loyal supporter of Theresa May, well, you know, stuff going on TV | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
and stop talking about things and then saying, oh, no, not me, it | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
isn't his job to explain policy and to champion of the Conservative | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
stand for? He also about housing thinks that in the light of the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Grenfell Tower disaster we should pull down the Starbucks and replace | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
them with houses with gardens. I'm not sure -- pull down the tower | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
blocks. The opposite of a solution potentially. David Cameron came into | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
a lot of criticism when he was asked about what would have a grease. | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
It's this about the EU but has been raised by the former Foreign | :06:04. | :06:15. | |
Secretary David Miliband saying, the terms of the Brexit deal should be | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
put to a second referendum. This is keeping popping up where he is | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
saying I am not undermining the bug but took place but people really | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
didn't know what the alternative was, and once the terms are agreed | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
wouldn't it be a good idea but the people or for Parliament to get the | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
chance to say whether or not, and it does sound it is going back because | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
the idea that if they say no, so is that you tear up order they say, | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
well, no but go back and negotiate more but we can't go that once we | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
got the terms. And there is a time-limited all of this as well. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
The clock is ticking. We have to have the other 27 members of the EU | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
agreed to the time period. This proposal is you have either a vote | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
in Parliament or a second referendum but the alternative is staying in | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
the EU. It is not crashing out of the deal which is the Government's | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
you. How likely is it that either of those scenarios that David Miliband | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
putting board will happen? There is no sign of that at. We talk about | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
the very short period of time that things have to unravel but the | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Conservative government that the beer a realistic prospect. Yes and | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
even an MP. Is he back in the country? He should stick to his | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
well-paid job in a charity. Speaking of what will happen to the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Conservatives, Theresa May has had a holiday. We suffer at the | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Passchendaele commemorations so she wasn't walking in Switzerland the | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
whole time. -- we saw her. This looks terribly bad. It is actually | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
staying on until 2020. You wouldn't expect a lot of voters who didn't | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
support the Conservatives last time to want her to stay until 2022. What | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
matters is whether she has the support because there to supporters | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
and voters will stop at the moment she does and this poll actually | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
shows the Conservatives backing her. They are a pragmatic party. They | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
will keep her there while it is useful. Who would want to take over | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
the party at the moment? Who wants to go through all the Brexit | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
negotiations without the possibility that it is going to be successful? | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
If as you say they are pragmatic, Jacob Rees-Mogg and others, I would | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
stay in the background for a while longer just to see how well she | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
does. Let's go to the Financial Times, Brussels seeking tighter | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
vetting of takeovers to ease fears over China. Normally countries will | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
say having foreign investment is a very good thing, a sign that we are | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
a country on the up. But this is concerned about where investment is | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
coming from. Yes, this is a concern about the fact that China might gain | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
a technological edge by buying European know-how or heavily | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
restricting the role of the EU, so it is China slowly cherry picking | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
the best of our technology organisation and businesses and then | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
telling the EU are but you can't do this and that, and also the EU | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
looking at other countries what are they doing to try and safeguard | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
their industries? But how do they go about bending off huge investment | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
from China? If there is none anywhere else? You could get | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
individual countries, Pieretto said the EU at the moment, to have at | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
least policies to affect these investment and things are | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
manufacturing, billions of dollars going into Europe and China. Or you | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
could have an EU wide system. The problem is that China will look very | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
negatively at anything which looks like discrimination against China. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
And they would say, and legally it is quite difficult to take action | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
against one particular country. If and when you look at what happened | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
in Africa, huge amounts of investment in China, some people | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
say, there is no one else prepared to invest but others say Africa | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
hasn't benefited. Yes, it is a double-edged sword. You need the | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
investment and build up the infrastructure but the question is | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
what is the ability to control your own resources once China get and if | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
you decide to say thank you very much we have had enough, I doubt | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
China will go, sorry, you would like us to leave now? We have been for 20 | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
years and rebuttal at the infrastructure and you would like us | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
to leave, don't think so. Let's look at the Daily Mail. Apparently 7 | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
million others are going on diagnosed with heart problems. Early | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
death is a consequence. This is a story that new government strategy | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
is going to ensure that millions more of us are given the opportunity | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
to have those potential problems checked out. The question is | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
obviously around cost at a time when the NHS in England is struggling and | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
says it said it doesn't quite enough my double bill of the obligations | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
imposed on it. But it will ask local health authorities to ensure those | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
identified ardour given correct treatment. Are they good for you or | :11:34. | :11:44. | |
are they not? It is one thing being diagnosed with is that the money | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
available to give you the best fitting that you want? Can you get | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
the resources. At the end of the day it is something that needs to be | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
done because down the line it will cost so much more of these | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
individuals if they are not examined and advised at the best way to keep | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
themselves healthy but it is the balance of trying to say now or | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
later you have to pay for it. Prevention is better than cure but | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
with these people if walking around, it might be me, you never know. You | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
just don't know. That's look at the sun, page two, the death traps in | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
your kitchen is the headline. Ten fires a day because of white goods | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
like bridge features and washing machines. It is talking about nearly | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
10,000 deaths in three years from various appliances and they're | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
getting a little bit about the fact that the Grenfell Tower buyer. Ten | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
by -- fire. It was started by a fridge. I am not sure, what are they | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
calling for? In terms of these things are checked. Obviously goods | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
are recalled when they are issues. Is it a story? You can see the is a | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
picture of there, one of our possible paper reviewers, also | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
consumer rights champion. She made lots of recommendations in safety, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
what has happened? I don't know the details of that review but it is | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
interesting to see how Grenfell Tower has changed the debate around | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
regulation. Until really a couple of wood so good this was all red tape | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
that we wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible and make it | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
easier for businesses and now there is a recognition that there is a | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
potentially lethal cost to making things, deregulating wings and | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
cutting back regulations. The number of buyers the paper shows from these | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
appliances has gone down marginally but basically the same thing 2014 | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
and 2016 washing machines are the most common of fire causes. I think | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
we don't know the actual causes of Grenfell Tower in depth but I think | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
they will be a new attitude towards regulation. Let's finish with the | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
front of the Metro. Flying low, a picture of Marlboro. A good way to | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
end, back on top as he allows out and stop he wasn't quite back on top | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
yesterday. Silver. I remember there was a certain advert that said you | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
don't win silver, you lose gold, which was... There he was running | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
his five K that people do under part one on a Saturday morning. The end | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
of an extraordinary career. Absolutely and it takes an awful lot | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
for somebody to stay at the top of the game for so long. Certainly hats | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
off to him and he is on his way to marathons that he is going to start | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
doing? That is the natural thing to progress to. When was watching last | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
night, he isn't a tall man at all but the length of his stride is | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
really shocking and I don't know why I have noticed it before, but he is | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
still being dogged by those scandals around his coach, Alberto Salazar, | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
who was investing dated in the United States for dubbing and he has | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
always defied -- denied he had done anything wrong and Mo Farah is | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
saying it will affect his legacy and they are sick of defending himself. | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
He was a bit tetchy talking to the media. He would probably say, I want | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
to go out as a great champion, Sir Mo Farah, Olympic champion, World | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
Championship medal winner and you keep asking about drugs. There is no | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
escape from it at the moment with athletics particularly when we see | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
people who have been caught cheating and then they come back. They have | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
to do something about it because any kind of mention of drugs, an athlete | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
will because we asked the question. That is it that this hour but Henry | :15:54. | :16:05. | |
or Henri as it says, Jacqui Francis will be back again at 11:30pm. | :16:06. | :16:23. | |
The It really has been a gorgeous day for many | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
of us with lots of blue sky | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
I hope you managed to get out and enjoy. | :16:31. | :16:33. |
