:00:00. > :00:00.We will get all of the latest from Barcelona at 11pm but now we can see

:00:00. > :00:16.how all of this is being covered on tomorrow's front pages.

:00:17. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to our look ahead at all of the papers. We have

:00:25. > :00:29.Christopher Hope, assistant editor and chief political correspondent at

:00:30. > :00:32.The Daily Telegraph, and Jessica Elgot, political correspondent at

:00:33. > :00:36.The Guardian. The papers are dominated by the events in

:00:37. > :00:39.Barcelona, as you would expect. The metro carries a picture of some of

:00:40. > :00:43.the victims caught up in the attack. A warning that some of the papers

:00:44. > :00:47.are carrying photographs you might find disturbing. We will talk about

:00:48. > :00:52.this picture selection process for newspaper front pages in a moment,

:00:53. > :00:56.but The Mirror has scenes of carnage with an image of the white van used

:00:57. > :01:06.in the attack. The Guardian leads with a photograph and a photo of one

:01:07. > :01:10.of the suspects, believed to be from Rocco. He has told police he wasn't

:01:11. > :01:20.involved in the attack. -- from Morocco. The photograph suggesting

:01:21. > :01:28.the death toll of 13 is likely to rise. Plans by the taxi company

:01:29. > :01:32.Buber to recover from a spate of scandals, that in the Financial

:01:33. > :01:40.Times. Let's begin with the Metro. It's so

:01:41. > :01:44.difficult to find new words to say, isn't it, about these attacks?

:01:45. > :01:48.Because unfortunately we've become rather too practised in reporting

:01:49. > :01:52.them in the last couple of years. We have, and it is a low tack attack

:01:53. > :01:56.which is very hard to defend against. It is just a vehicle you

:01:57. > :02:01.can hire for a few pounds or euros and can be used like this as a

:02:02. > :02:03.weapon. It's hard to see how you can protect against this apart from

:02:04. > :02:09.dealing with the source, which is the people driving them. And the

:02:10. > :02:14.choice of target, of course, Las Ramblas, at a time of year, but

:02:15. > :02:19.particularly now, is such a magnet for people visiting Barcelona. Yes,

:02:20. > :02:24.I'm sure many people watching this will have been down that area. It's

:02:25. > :02:29.such a vibrant street where you can normally not move the tourists on

:02:30. > :02:33.either side. There are cafes, shops, street performers, and it is a core

:02:34. > :02:38.part of the Barcelona tourist scene, and there will have been so many

:02:39. > :02:41.people there, and that's what makes it so devastating. It is a partly

:02:42. > :02:44.pedestrianised street but they have restricted the amount of traffic

:02:45. > :02:49.that can get along there because people just do walk in the road.

:02:50. > :02:53.Yes, and it happened in the late afternoon, when people are out

:02:54. > :02:58.having a drink or a coffee, so it would have been rammed full of

:02:59. > :03:02.people. I mean, it's utterly shocking, to deliberately targeted

:03:03. > :03:06.for that reason. That picture on the Metro is of people comforting each

:03:07. > :03:11.other. Unable to imagine or believe what it is they have seen. The Daily

:03:12. > :03:16.Mirror has a wider view of Las Ramblas. A specific choice has been

:03:17. > :03:20.made by the editors here, hasn't it? The Metro might feel it is a free

:03:21. > :03:24.paper picked up by commuters. It doesn't need to sell itself on its

:03:25. > :03:33.front page, maybe. Newspapers you have to pay money for have a more

:03:34. > :03:37.shocking front page. There are at least two bodies that have been

:03:38. > :03:44.pixelated out. Three bodies on the back. It's shocking thing to see.

:03:45. > :03:49.The skill of editing a paper to see that across the front page tomorrow

:03:50. > :03:52.morning. We've already seen the number of people wounded has grown

:03:53. > :03:56.immensely through the last few hours. 13 dead and around 100 people

:03:57. > :04:03.wounded. That could change, of course. Because of the fact that the

:04:04. > :04:07.van weaved from side to side and just hit as many people as possible.

:04:08. > :04:12.And I think it's really indicative of an attack that can only really

:04:13. > :04:15.have lost that a couple of minutes or so, just how packed those streets

:04:16. > :04:20.were, as you can see from the picture. It is a very wide street

:04:21. > :04:24.and to be able to injure that many people in that sort of short space

:04:25. > :04:29.of time just shows how deliberately the action must be and how crowded

:04:30. > :04:33.it must be. And that for me was reminiscent of Nice, wasn't it? When

:04:34. > :04:37.that Lori was driven across the promenade. Because, again, so many

:04:38. > :04:45.people had gathered in that place where they thought they would be

:04:46. > :04:51.safe. -- when a lorry was driven. I have to warn you, again, a shocking

:04:52. > :04:54.picture here. A man being tended to by police or paramedics,

:04:55. > :04:59.potentially. The emergency services were on the scene very fast because

:05:00. > :05:02.it's such a central place. In terms of picture selection, obviously you

:05:03. > :05:07.are not picture editors yourselves, but do you think it has changed, the

:05:08. > :05:12.kind of photographs newspapers are prepared to put on their front pages

:05:13. > :05:17.in recent years? I think, as you said in the opener, this is

:05:18. > :05:20.something that we are potentially becoming desensitised to, and also

:05:21. > :05:25.something we have to try to be careful not to be desensitised to,

:05:26. > :05:32.because every attack like this is a tragedy. If you were to try to draw

:05:33. > :05:36.a line, and it's very, very difficult, but including pictures of

:05:37. > :05:38.people who are obviously alive is a different choice to including

:05:39. > :05:43.pictures of people who are potentially not alive when families

:05:44. > :05:47.might recognise them, even if they... I mean, I would recognise a

:05:48. > :05:54.family member if their face was pixelated. People might not be aware

:05:55. > :06:00.they were caught up in the attack, let alone might have died. Yes, and

:06:01. > :06:06.they are much more liberal now with their pictures they show their

:06:07. > :06:10.audiences. That guy's left leg looks very, very seriously injured to me.

:06:11. > :06:14.So I agree. Is his family where he is involved? I'm not sure that's a

:06:15. > :06:17.good one to use given those issues and the child they are looking on.

:06:18. > :06:22.Maybe the child knows him... I don't know. A lot of people have phones in

:06:23. > :06:28.their pockets now and they are looking at Twitter and they are

:06:29. > :06:32.seeing even worse things there, so the papers feel they have to respond

:06:33. > :06:36.to that. Those things are out there and people are absorbing them and

:06:37. > :06:42.maybe we should reflect that. And maybe we shouldn't be protected from

:06:43. > :06:46.the true horror of it. Yes, and back in the day, when they were black and

:06:47. > :06:53.white, those awful pictures of people dying at Hillsborough,

:06:54. > :06:57.Continental newspapers publish them and there was a massive row is the

:06:58. > :07:05.UK papers held back. I don't know, it's a difficult choice. And the

:07:06. > :07:11.headline for The Times, "Evil strikes again". And in all these

:07:12. > :07:20.cities. And then a woman killed in Charlottesville by a car being

:07:21. > :07:25.driven at the crowd deliberately. None of these people have signed up

:07:26. > :07:33.to any creed, they are just living their lives, but they are being

:07:34. > :07:37.blamed by the people behind it. They regularly claimed they were involved

:07:38. > :07:41.somewhere or another, IS. If you look at the language crisis uses,

:07:42. > :07:45.they say they are a follower and soldier, and that doesn't mean it's

:07:46. > :07:49.been directed by somebody. There isn't a grand scheme. It could be

:07:50. > :07:55.someone who is inspired by them or not. Again, of course, we had an

:07:56. > :07:58.outpouring of grief and condolences expressed from world leaders to

:07:59. > :08:03.Spain to say we stand with you, but then you start to think, how is a

:08:04. > :08:08.city like Barcelona meant to protect people and yet remain that kind of

:08:09. > :08:12.place that people want to visit? You can put barriers up, so we've seen

:08:13. > :08:17.Barry is where we work around Parliament, on Westminster bridge,

:08:18. > :08:20.to try to stop vans. I think there's a limit to what you can do apart

:08:21. > :08:26.from trying to go at source and tackle the people behind this

:08:27. > :08:32.because the weapon used here is available to any grown-up. It is a

:08:33. > :08:35.sorry state of affairs where every single public square or those fast

:08:36. > :08:39.bridges has to have barriers to protect people, and that may be

:08:40. > :08:44.where we find ourselves, but it is sad that that is the action police

:08:45. > :08:50.and Mayers might have to take. It is a difficult balancing act, isn't it?

:08:51. > :08:54.The thing that people come to enjoy, but we expect to be kept safe. You

:08:55. > :08:59.don't want to make a place looked like a war zone and that's the last

:09:00. > :09:02.thing we want. The Houses of Parliament are beautiful space and

:09:03. > :09:05.people come to see it and we want them to see it as an open space.

:09:06. > :09:09.It's a place of democracy people can look into and be part of, but if

:09:10. > :09:15.you've got to a wrecked concrete barriers around the people'ssafety,

:09:16. > :09:20.maybe that is what you have to do. We will pause for a second and look

:09:21. > :09:24.at a couple of other stories in the FT. Not Barcelona, but we will have

:09:25. > :09:27.more coverage of what's happening in Spain, because as we were

:09:28. > :09:34.mentioning, the police have said the driver of that ban has not yet been

:09:35. > :09:40.arrested. -- of that van. Two suspects have been arrested. One is

:09:41. > :09:45.a Spaniard and one is Moroccan. But for the Financial Times, though,

:09:46. > :09:51.A-levels day. A rise in the number of pupils gaining top grades. That

:09:52. > :09:58.will worry some people thinking again, exams are getting easier. And

:09:59. > :10:00.Michael Gove hit them harder! The only person who might have been sad

:10:01. > :10:06.about that is not their parents but Michael Gove, who was alarmed that

:10:07. > :10:10.exams seemed to be getting easier, and I think the greats have fallen

:10:11. > :10:17.in recent years but they seem to be on the rise again. -- I think the

:10:18. > :10:21.grades have fallen. I'm sure he feels he has a real stake in this!

:10:22. > :10:28.Is quite interesting that boys are doing better. Having won because I'm

:10:29. > :10:38.at the end of the two-year period and that is happening still. -- it

:10:39. > :10:45.is interesting because at the end of the two-year period you have this

:10:46. > :10:50.one exam. You want there to be a parity so you want boys and girls to

:10:51. > :10:53.be doing roughly the same and is generalising that girls tend to be

:10:54. > :10:59.more diligently studying throughout their course and the boys tend to do

:11:00. > :11:03.better in the pressure of exams. Of course it's a generalisation but

:11:04. > :11:08.these exams, the way the new exams seem to work, the old way seems to

:11:09. > :11:11.favour boys generally and so it would be interesting to see whether

:11:12. > :11:21.that gap increases or whether it does... Is the coursework system

:11:22. > :11:25.fair on boys? I think a mixture where both, and were talking

:11:26. > :11:33.generally, but a mixture might be perhaps the way. Why not have boy

:11:34. > :11:38.and girl exams? Pink and blue! Why don't we have that? If you can

:11:39. > :11:45.really... Well, you're doing both. You've got a pink and blue stripe.

:11:46. > :11:54.Shall we leave it there? I would do! Finally. Thank you! Can you unpick

:11:55. > :12:03.this story for us in about 20 seconds? Is all going a bit wrong

:12:04. > :12:06.for Donald Trump. He is saying here in his interview with the American

:12:07. > :12:15.prospect magazine that he was fighting every day with Gary Cohn,

:12:16. > :12:20.who is the chief advisor, and it is just evidence of a chaotic White

:12:21. > :12:24.House. And North Korea is really actually the sort of main foreign

:12:25. > :12:31.policy threat that Donald Trump is facing at the moment and he... You

:12:32. > :12:39.know, Steve Bannon poured scorn over what the president has achieved and

:12:40. > :12:43.the US policy on it. But he likes loyalty? So we are told, but Steve

:12:44. > :12:51.Bannon occupies a different position in the White House. A strategist?

:12:52. > :12:55.But he might go too far with some of his comments! There's another theory

:12:56. > :12:58.about Trump that he likes to see his advisors pitted against each other,

:12:59. > :13:03.to see them fighting for his affections! Kind of like he was

:13:04. > :13:13.running The Apprentice and I wonder whether this might be part of that.

:13:14. > :13:19.Like the offices! Not at all! Never! Don't besmirch your fellow guest!

:13:20. > :13:24.That's it from us. Because of the events in Barcelona we will be back

:13:25. > :13:31.again at 11:30pm. Don't forget you can see the front pages on the BBC

:13:32. > :13:34.news website. If you missed the programme any

:13:35. > :13:39.evening you can watch it later on the BBC iPlayer. Chris, Jessica,

:13:40. > :13:40.thank you very much. See you later. We will bring you the latest from

:13:41. > :13:54.Barcelona. Hello, as if our weather wasn't

:13:55. > :13:58.complicated enough, we are going to throw in some tropical air for good

:13:59. > :14:00.measure, and that comes in the shape of this cloud here, which was a

:14:01. > :14:01.hurricane
