Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are Pippa Crerar, political correspondent | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
And the Spectator's political correspondent, Katie Balls. | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
Thanks for coming in. The top stories. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
The Times headline is Europe under threat, it says terrorists | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
are posing a risk by posing as immigrants. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The Telegraph focuses on Brexit - it reports EU judges could still | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
It also features an image of a baby found alive in the rubble | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
The Mail is one of several newspapers to concentrate | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
It marks the moment the Princes were told of their mother's death. | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
The I leads with the news that Britain is backing President Trump's | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
It says the UK Defence Secretary believes the increase | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
The Express carries an image of Princes Charles, William | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
and Harry on the day of Diana's funeral. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
The Metro has a similar story reporting that Harry | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
is defending his dad and says Prince Charles did his best. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
The Mirror also marks Princess Diana's death. | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
It also says the princes have praised their father | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
And ahead of transport Summit for political and business leaders in | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
the North of England, the Yorkshire post has an exclusive interview with | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the Transport Secretary. Chris Grayling said it is not the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
government's jobs to advance a Crossrail for North. Many people | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
will wonder why not. The Times, Europe under threat. An arresting | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
picture. Of the troops and an operation trying to deal with | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean. And a familiar | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
refrain and fear that in that boat of migrants, maybe people posing as | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
terrorists. This is something we heard several years ago from figures | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
like Nigel Farage. Right now we have the Libyan Prime Minister in this | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
investigation, warding Europe will be increasingly at risk unless more | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
is done to help them stand the number of migrants heading to Italy | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
and the rest of Europe. Italy is suffering a lot from this and they | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
feel abandoned by the rest of Europe when it comes to dealing with the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
number coming in. Hopefully it will mean they were. To work out how to | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
help each other. The British already have ships out there, picking up | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
people and also trying to patrol the waters off the Libyan coast and | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
indeed the coalition is trying to deal with that. What more can be | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
done? What the Libyan Prime Minister is suggesting is that Western | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
nations need to offer more support on land, it is not just about | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
patrolling the Mediterranean. That there is a porous southern border to | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Libya, which is not a stable country, and to prevent the huge | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
numbers of migrants arriving in Libya in the first place, apparently | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
700,000 there just now, of which 98,000 have already attempted to | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
make the crossing to Italy, that they need support in strengthening | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
backboard. It feeds into this general fear that individuals from | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
conflict zones across North Africa and the Middle East could start to | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
head towards Europe. I was at a briefing with the American embassy | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
this morning with the Major General Rupert Jones, the deputy commander | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
of the coalition infighting Isis in Iraq and Syria and he was trying to | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
offer reassurance that foreign fighters, British, European, North | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
African fighters in Syria, they are so intent on saving their own lives | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
in that region, they are not focusing on coming back to Europe | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
and launching attacks. Is there a moral case Britain has to answer | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
because of the situation in Libya and the intervention of us and the | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
French to topple Colonel Gaddafi? The crisis in Libya was not | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
resolved. When David Cameron went in there he thought it would be and we | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
have made it in some ways worse. They call for Brussels to police the | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
border and sometimes you have to make what seems to be a tougher | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
decision that just welcoming more boats. It is difficult. There is not | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
easy solution. Indeed and another story that has been going on for the | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
last 16 years, the war in Afghanistan. Apparently it was a | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
stupid war wasting time and effort, according to candidates Donald | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
Trump, but now he wants to send more troops to Afghanistan. It is now his | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
war and no one else's. He described the conflict as a waste and would | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
not be the first US presidential candidate who became president who | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
made a U-turn on getting involved in foreign interventions. President | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Obama was the same stop he did and he increased the troops to 100,000 | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
at one point. There is now about 8000 special forces supporting the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Afghan army and the US military suggesting they will increase it by | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
4000, and Donald Trump and his Defence Secretary made it clear they | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
expect other Nato members to boost their presence. And the I has a | :05:59. | :06:10. | |
story with our Defence Secretary said the troop increase is necessary | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
to stay the course but what the I does not say is that we have about | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
500 troops on the ground at the moment in supporting roles and in | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
June, Britain announced it would send over another 85 members of the | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Armed Forces. It is unlikely we are going to be amongst those increasing | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
troops on the ground. We are more likely to fill the capability gaps | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
such as providing logistical support, aircraft, advice and | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
training. I do not think we will see an uplift in the numbers of British | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
soldiers going. Is there the possibility of mission creep and | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Britain being sucked in slowly again to this conflict? Yes, we saw Jeremy | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Corbyn said to Theresa May today not to follow Donald Trump library on | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
the issue. I think... Jeremy Corbyn is noninterventionist here, as Trump | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
once was. I think everyone's eyes will be on Theresa May to see if she | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
will be a poodle in this. Or, support a Nato ally. If she looks | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
like she is going in because maybe she wants a trade deal and a better | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
relationship. Although there is probably a lukewarm feeling to | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
sending troops we saw what happens in Syria when you do not intervene | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
so there might be more public support. The Financial Times. Trump | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
and sanctions. US sanctions raise pressure on Russia and China to | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
sever North Korea links. The company is America identified in Russia and | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
China and what they think is helping send materials to North Korea for | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
these missiles and it comes after heightened tensions between America | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
and North Korea. Especially with China, the Donald Trump | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
administration is frustrated China has not done more to control North | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Korea and they think they can stop that China has a sway there. By | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
forcing sanctions, in a way America is trying to force China's hand. | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Already we have the response from China which is they expect them to | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
be lifted. And they supported UN sanctions against North Korea for | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
the recent missile tests, so they feel the action by the US is a | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
mistake and should be reversed. President Trump is right, if there | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
is one country that can affect the behaviour of the regime in | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Pyongyang, seemingly it is the Chinese. But they have their own | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
issues. China is concerned about their trading relationship with the | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
states and President Trump has not shied away from suggesting it | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
potentially could be ripped up and redrawn. They will have to be | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
conscious I am sure of the relationship with the US and also in | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
terms of its relationship with the rest of the region. China is in a | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
strange position where it is seen as being the policeman, relied on by | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
the US to be the policeman for that region when it comes to North Korea, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
but of course has other more complicated relationships with other | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
countries in the region such as South Korea, Japan, they have to | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
take into account. And the complicated relationship with North | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Korea. Does not want that place blowing up and having millions of | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
people flooding over its border. Katie, baby boomer drinkers on the | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
Telegraph. Interesting story. The irresponsible behaviour of the over | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
50s. Why are you looking at me! I am not. That was my little joke. We | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
were discussing whether to name and shame our parents. The gin and | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
tonics at five o'clock. It means you learn from them. I learned from the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
best, my parents. I rudely interrupted. Risky drinking is down, | :10:28. | :10:37. | |
apart from the over 50s and they say the people visiting hospitals the | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
most, not necessarily with alcoholism, but problems related to | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
drinking a lot of this group. At the same time, they have probably | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
reached retirement, a perfect time to have a drink. They do not have | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
mortgages for their big houses. And with their triple lock, they are | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
laughing! Seriously, we are seeing an incidence of high levels of | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
drinking going down in other age groups. This is the group where it | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
seems to go up. Official figures show a trebling of alcohol-related | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
admissions among those between 55 and 74. Iron age group that is | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
getting to the point where eventually -- it is an age group | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
where other health complications will kick in. And hike alcohol | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
consumption will not be helpful. The front page of the Daily Mail, the | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. The Princes moment daddy told | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
's mum was dead. The express and the Mirror have this story from a BBC | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
documentary that is being aired on Sunday. I guess it is trying to | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
redress the balance. Prince Charles came out as the bad guy in the days | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
after and years after Diana's death. But in terms of whether the infamous | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
photo the Mirror has on the front page, hours after the boys were told | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
their mother had died they were dragged to a church service in | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Balmoral and sat through a sermon from the minister that did not even | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
mention their mother. There was a feeling the father possibly should | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
not have put them through that. They have not spoken much about their | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
father's support for them and this BBC documentary, in it they did and | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
revealed he had been hugely supportive and obviously cares for | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
them deeply. We saw the battle between both sides in the Royal | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Court, the Diana and Charles sighed, when she was alive, we are almost | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
seeing it play out 20 years later. He was more to blame and fault? We | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
saw in the Channel 4 documentary which way that was slant it. This | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
perhaps is a way of redressing things. It is interesting with the | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
anniversary we have had more of this coverage and I think Prince Charles | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
has been painted in a negative light. An interesting intervention | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
from his sons. It comes when polls show that the public mood is dipping | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
slightly towards Prince Charles. If the public could, they might push | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
Prince William forward and it might be now that public opinion will go | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
up, to show there was a more human side to him. The Financial Times, | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
vanilla crisis puts the posh ice cream market in a while. This is a | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
story on the scale of the shocking avocado overpriced, how will the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
middle classes coke? Of a few weeks ago. We are talking first world | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
problems. There is a posh London ice cream chain, which I have to say I | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
have been known to frequent. There is a branch near me which has had to | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
take vanilla off the menu because the vanilla crop from Madagascar has | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
been hit by a cyclone and this year the price of vanilla is excessively | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
high and these ice cream parlours cannot survive. If you like Mr | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
Wimpy, you will be all right, but not the real thing. If you want to | :14:39. | :14:51. | |
slum it, it is Mr -- Mr Whippy. But the farmers are making more money, | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
so there is a plus. It is good to have you here. Thanks to you both. | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
That is it, thank you to our guests and to you for watching. | :15:04. | :15:06. |
