:00:08. > :00:12.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment -
:00:13. > :00:18.The American National Weather Service has described the flooding
:00:19. > :00:20.from Tropical Storm Harvey as being "beyond
:00:21. > :00:26.Governor of Texas Gregg Abbott says there are more tornado
:00:27. > :00:33.Two lorry drivers have been charged with causing death by dangerous
:00:34. > :00:35.driving in connection with a collision on the M1
:00:36. > :00:40.near Milton Keynes in which eight people were killed.
:00:41. > :00:42.Labour has committed, for the first time,
:00:43. > :00:45.to keeping the UK in the single market and customs union
:00:46. > :00:49.during a transition period after leaving the EU.
:00:50. > :00:54.It says it's to avoid the economy falling off a "cliff edge".
:00:55. > :00:58.A suspected chemical leak affects at least 50 people
:00:59. > :01:00.in the Eastbourne area - police warn residents and visitors
:01:01. > :01:08.to avoid the beaches and stay indoors.
:01:09. > :01:11.A minute's silence has been observed at the Notting Hill Carnival to pay
:01:12. > :01:28.tribute to the victims of Grenfell Fire.
:01:29. > :01:32.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:01:33. > :01:38.With me are the political commentator and journalist,
:01:39. > :01:41.Daisy McAndrew and Tim Stanley, lead writer at The Daily Telegraph.
:01:42. > :01:46.Of course some of the papers are dominated by the
:01:47. > :01:51.The FT reports that the US state Houston has been hit
:01:52. > :01:54.by "catastrophic" flooding as the storm caused torrential rains
:01:55. > :02:02.The Express focuses on Labour's U-turn on the single market,
:02:03. > :02:06.saying the party is facing a backlash from MPs after announcing
:02:07. > :02:08.a dramatic shift in party policy to back continued membership
:02:09. > :02:13.The Sun suggests scientists in the US have found
:02:14. > :02:16.a breakthrough to prevent the risk of heart attack and cancer.
:02:17. > :02:19.While the I also leads with the same story -
:02:20. > :02:22.they say the drug has been welcomed by the British Heart Foundation.
:02:23. > :02:24.The Guardian's headline is Backlash over Labour's
:02:25. > :02:29.shift to soft Brexit' - they report that the move risks
:02:30. > :02:31.alienating thousands of voters in traditional seats who support
:02:32. > :02:39.And finally, the Daily Mail also reports on the new study
:02:40. > :02:42.which claims thousands of lives could be saved thanks to a new heart
:02:43. > :02:52.drug hailed as the biggest breakthrough since statins.
:02:53. > :02:59.That's a flavour of some of those pages, some of them even in the
:03:00. > :03:05.right order! Let's begin with The Express. Easy, take us to the
:03:06. > :03:08.outrage as they put it over EU exit betrayal. I don't think anyone who
:03:09. > :03:12.reads The Express regularly will be surprised that this outrage. This is
:03:13. > :03:14.the story that the Brexit spokesman for the Labour Party has
:03:15. > :03:21.significantly shifted their stance on Brexit. To supporting what would
:03:22. > :03:26.basically be a soft Brexit. Which was not the position Jeremy Corbyn
:03:27. > :03:30.had outlined. The thing that annoys me I will Brexit stories, and you
:03:31. > :03:32.could say this on an awful lot of political stories, is that when you
:03:33. > :03:36.see two opposing newspapers you think you were reading completely
:03:37. > :03:39.different stories. It is frustrating when you think that the truth is in
:03:40. > :03:44.the middle somehow. As so often is the case. Also about this Brexit
:03:45. > :03:50.story is lot of people nowadays like to say they are so -- there is so
:03:51. > :03:53.much buyers' regret from people who voted out, and everyone is now
:03:54. > :03:57.convinced it's a terrible idea. It's simply not true. David Cowling who
:03:58. > :04:03.I'm sure viewers will know, a fantastic expert on polls and
:04:04. > :04:06.elections, very respected, did a big piece earlier this week really
:04:07. > :04:11.analysing all the polls since the referendum. Public opinion has not
:04:12. > :04:17.shifted one jot. It has shifted one point which is within the rounds of
:04:18. > :04:22.complete nothing. Very interesting. I think this move was a direct
:04:23. > :04:26.result of the appalling decision to do a general election. This has been
:04:27. > :04:32.the inevitable consequence of that. How big shift is by Labour? The
:04:33. > :04:36.public may not have changed its mind but it sounds like Labour have. At
:04:37. > :04:38.the top of the party, Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonald have talked on
:04:39. > :04:44.different occasions about leaving the customs union and the single
:04:45. > :04:46.market. Out meant out. During the election, lots of voters, Suntory
:04:47. > :04:50.and Ukip will have on to Labour on the suction that that was the party
:04:51. > :04:55.'s position. There are of course other people in the party who favour
:04:56. > :05:00.what you describe as a soft Brexit. It sounds like that side has won the
:05:01. > :05:05.argument. Keir Starmer has written an article arguing that what should
:05:06. > :05:10.happen once Britain has completed these talks has left the EU, that it
:05:11. > :05:14.should then enter a transitional period, during which Britain will
:05:15. > :05:19.remain within the single market. He says it could be two to four years.
:05:20. > :05:24.Whatever happens next we shall see. What's interesting is that during
:05:25. > :05:27.the summer, that seems to be pretty close to the position people
:05:28. > :05:32.associated with Philip Hammond. Some said he favoured a transitional
:05:33. > :05:37.period that perhaps need never end. But of course, about a week ago he
:05:38. > :05:39.and Liam Fox wrote an article for my newspaper, the Daily Telegraph,
:05:40. > :05:45.saying we have decided out means out. We will not be bowled by any
:05:46. > :05:49.treaties. So Labour has moved into that ground, which has been vacated
:05:50. > :05:55.by the Tories. Continue the theme with the inside of the Sun, page
:05:56. > :05:59.two. Again, perhaps not surprisingly, critical of where Keir
:06:00. > :06:03.Starmer is now. And not unreasonably. Reading the Observer
:06:04. > :06:11.article, it was not the Observer was at first remark reading the article,
:06:12. > :06:14.he is clear about this position. What he is not about is what that
:06:15. > :06:18.means the free movement. Presumably if you are in the single market you
:06:19. > :06:22.retain that. Which is something that will irritate a lot of voters. The
:06:23. > :06:25.other thing is thing is he is really not clear about what the future
:06:26. > :06:30.relationship with the EU will be. He mentions three times a future
:06:31. > :06:34.relationship which will be progressive, not just about trade
:06:35. > :06:37.but science and things like that, which is superb but of course the
:06:38. > :06:41.Tories have been a bit clearer. They say it is a free trade deal. He is
:06:42. > :06:46.not absolutely clear about what it means when it begins. Your point of
:06:47. > :06:51.the Tories being clearer is true on one side in that they have sounded
:06:52. > :06:55.clearer. The fundamental truth is that no politician knows really what
:06:56. > :06:59.they are talking about, because how could they? We are in such uncharted
:07:00. > :07:04.waters. The Labour Party is trying to put some clear blue water or some
:07:05. > :07:07.proper choices in front of the electorate. I think in the view that
:07:08. > :07:11.there will be an election sooner rather than later. They want to
:07:12. > :07:16.offer that choice. Expecting anyone to have any answers about any
:07:17. > :07:20.details is a pie in the sky. Don't forget, Michel Barnier said at one
:07:21. > :07:25.point there will be known smooth terrain. This is not possible. Both
:07:26. > :07:30.sides could be discussing something that is not even feasible. Lets add
:07:31. > :07:34.to the potential confusion. This report on Page two of the sun
:07:35. > :07:37.quoting somebody who went to the meeting at Chequers, suggesting that
:07:38. > :07:42.Theresa May will quit in two years' time. This is not the first time
:07:43. > :07:49.we've had this story. This has been bandied about quite a bit. Number
:07:50. > :07:52.ten has said it's all rubbish. Silly season, August, nothing better. Not
:07:53. > :07:59.the same as saying it's not true. This first came out with the 1922
:08:00. > :08:03.committee, then her saying she cried election night, people putting words
:08:04. > :08:06.in her mouth sort of, saying she has decided not to stay another two
:08:07. > :08:11.years. I suspect this is wishful thinking on some people's behalf.
:08:12. > :08:15.I'm sure she has no idea how long she's going to be in number ten. She
:08:16. > :08:20.will be hoping it will be a full term. With a tiny majority quite
:08:21. > :08:24.unlikely, I would've thought. Some say the conference will be make or
:08:25. > :08:28.break with her big speech, will she apologise for went wrong, some
:08:29. > :08:31.people say. I agree with Daisy. There is a sort of Damocles hanging
:08:32. > :08:36.over her head right now and it all comes down to whether people feel
:08:37. > :08:40.she handles things well or not. You are quite right to link the two
:08:41. > :08:44.stories because they are most definitely linked. Her weakness and
:08:45. > :08:49.the Labour Party movement. Let me link another one. The front of the
:08:50. > :08:57.Financial Times... Very nicely done. Almost as if it was planned! Their
:08:58. > :09:00.suggestion is that she is yes, under pressure, but partly because of what
:09:01. > :09:06.Labour are announcing. Let's forget about silly season. It's all going
:09:07. > :09:09.to start when parliament comebacks together and Brexit legislation
:09:10. > :09:12.starts to get negotiated. The importance of the last election was
:09:13. > :09:16.that the Tories wanted a big majority to smooth the Brexit they
:09:17. > :09:21.wanted to the comments. The problem is, they do not have a majority,
:09:22. > :09:24.which means on the one hand, labour take this position matters. It would
:09:25. > :09:29.not have done before. But it matters now. Equally important is the
:09:30. > :09:31.behaviour of Tory rebels, who now feel if Labour is taking this
:09:32. > :09:36.position and remaining in the single market, we can ally with them and
:09:37. > :09:40.perhaps through the comments we can affect a negotiation. And those Tory
:09:41. > :09:46.rebels are those who are very much on the remain side. Absolutely. Just
:09:47. > :09:49.hours after this article dropped in the Observer this morning, Matthew
:09:50. > :09:53.Parris was not an MP any more but used to be, still an influential
:09:54. > :09:58.columnist and writer, used to be a Tory MP. Absolutely die-hard
:09:59. > :10:01.Remainer, saying for the first time in his life he could consider voting
:10:02. > :10:09.Labour. That is not to be sniffed at. As a comment, lots of Brexiteers
:10:10. > :10:13.will sneer at him and say he would say that, but actually he has never
:10:14. > :10:16.voted anything other than conservative and buy him to be out
:10:17. > :10:20.of the blocks so far saying I would never vote for Kolbing but I would
:10:21. > :10:24.vote Labour, if called is not there, given this U-turn, it is
:10:25. > :10:28.significant. There will be lots of MPs thinking similar things. -- I
:10:29. > :10:31.would never vote for Jeremy Corbyn. They will be thinking it and
:10:32. > :10:36.muttering it in the Commodores and suddenly be monitoring it at
:10:37. > :10:40.parties. Even by his own it he has been conservative in vote only for a
:10:41. > :10:44.very long time. His disagreement with the suppose right-wing drift,
:10:45. > :10:48.ie popular drifter the party has been very well known and documented
:10:49. > :10:55.in his column. Frankly, I'm not sure... Do tell us what you really
:10:56. > :10:58.think. I don't want to go too far down the Matthew Parris route
:10:59. > :11:02.because he's not here to defend himself. But we do know who these
:11:03. > :11:10.people are who really matter. Nicky Morgan, etc. And Mrs may has a
:11:11. > :11:15.working majority of just 13, that involves the DUP as well of course.
:11:16. > :11:20.A further combination. A word about the Harry Kane also on the front
:11:21. > :11:27.page of the FT. Dramatic photographs of course of two men in some sort of
:11:28. > :11:35.treatable craft but a pretty precarious one. Extraordinary
:11:36. > :11:39.pictures. I have read I think in the New York Times a short while ago
:11:40. > :11:44.that they are saying five dead. I have not seen that confirmed
:11:45. > :11:47.elsewhere, but given the build-up, the catastrophic floods, the worse
:11:48. > :11:52.the state has seen for 20 years or so they say, if we could hope that
:11:53. > :11:57.was the end of it, five deaths is obviously too many but it's not
:11:58. > :12:01.quite what was predicted. Fingers crossed, but they are saying this
:12:02. > :12:05.evening we will get to everyone, climb up to your roof and someone.
:12:06. > :12:08.It's not terribly reassuring. It's always extraordinary miniseries
:12:09. > :12:11.things in the States is unthinkable the nations of the world, it is
:12:12. > :12:17.surprising they don't deal with these things better. Maybe they have
:12:18. > :12:21.worse weather than many. Take us to the Huffington Post. This is where
:12:22. > :12:25.Rex Tillerson, US Secretary of State of course, is saying that President
:12:26. > :12:30.Trump speaks only for himself an American values. This morning on TV,
:12:31. > :12:36.Rex Tillerson was asked about the UN. The Ewen's claim that Donald
:12:37. > :12:41.Trump... The UN had castigated Donald Trump for his remarks
:12:42. > :12:43.following the Charlottesville demonstrations about race. He was
:12:44. > :12:46.asked about this and Tillerson responded by saying American values
:12:47. > :12:49.are unchanging and are represented by the State Department. We oppose
:12:50. > :12:52.racism and favour the equal treatment of all peoples. He was
:12:53. > :12:56.asked by the interviewer, what about the President's view? He replied
:12:57. > :13:01.that the president speaks for himself. That is pretty remarkable.
:13:02. > :13:04.The idea that Secretary of State could imply that the president only
:13:05. > :13:08.speak for himself and not the administration of which he is head.
:13:09. > :13:12.That is hard to remember something like that happening recently. Hard
:13:13. > :13:16.to think of any recent Secretary of State 's prior one who I can imagine
:13:17. > :13:23.saying that the president he or she was working alongside. I can't think
:13:24. > :13:26.of one. No. We have never been in this situation, it's remarkable.
:13:27. > :13:32.When you think back to Theresa May and her visit after the election, it
:13:33. > :13:36.all seemed to go so swimmingly. They were there holding hands. The UN and
:13:37. > :13:41.Nato were big parts of their discussions, and Trump had called
:13:42. > :13:44.later obsolete, it had been a long-time criticism from him, saying
:13:45. > :13:50.he would cut funding by hundreds of millions of dollars. May it was very
:13:51. > :13:54.pleased she seemed to have made him slightly less and them, rather than
:13:55. > :13:58.generally pro-them. But there has been no love lost there for some
:13:59. > :14:03.time. The UN has been very critical on his stance on torture recently.
:14:04. > :14:07.Lamb busting him for that. You can see Tillerson is in a very difficult
:14:08. > :14:11.position with the UN on one side and Trump on the other. You would not
:14:12. > :14:14.want that. Tillerson will be responding to diplomatic pressure
:14:15. > :14:17.from allies, people who will have been saying to him in the last
:14:18. > :14:20.couple of weeks, you have to make some distinction here or people will
:14:21. > :14:23.feel they just cannot work for America if the president speaks for
:14:24. > :14:28.America on these issues. A word about the Daily Mail front page.
:14:29. > :14:31.This is not the only paper to cover this. Best heart drugs or
:14:32. > :14:37.distractions. A new monthly injection could save thousands of
:14:38. > :14:40.lives. After new look at a health story and you are sceptical that
:14:41. > :14:46.this one does seem to have a lot of substance. A report publicised today
:14:47. > :14:50.in Barcelona at a big health conference. Looking at what few
:14:51. > :14:55.details I have seen, it is as you say a very big report, four years
:14:56. > :14:59.long, 10,000 patients. Each of whom had had a heart attack. Apparently
:15:00. > :15:03.the point is that if you have had a heart attack you are likely to have
:15:04. > :15:07.another within the next 45 years. This drug seems to have cut the risk
:15:08. > :15:14.or cut the number of heart attacks that patients had significantly.
:15:15. > :15:19.There are two causes of heart attacks, and statins deals with both
:15:20. > :15:21.of them. Inflammation and cholesterol. Cholesterol you can
:15:22. > :15:25.treat and people know how to treat it but this was those who had some
:15:26. > :15:28.sort of information. Certainly look significant. As you said, we are
:15:29. > :15:42.slightly set article about the stories. Significant? Expensive too.
:15:43. > :15:47.Whereas statins across the UK ?400 a year, this is estimated to cost a a
:15:48. > :15:51.year. Until that price drops, probably not something ordinary
:15:52. > :15:54.patients can access. On that note, time has beaten us. Thank you both,
:15:55. > :16:00.that is it for the papers the south. Thank you Daisy and Tim,
:16:01. > :16:03.you'll both be back at half 11 for another look at the stories
:16:04. > :16:06.making the news tomorrow.
