:00:00. > :00:00.the hunt for a Victorian serial killer in the British thriller. We

:00:00. > :00:00.get James King's take on this and the rest of the week's cinema

:00:07. > :00:17.releases in the Film Review. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:18. > :00:21.to what the papers will be With me are the Parliamentary

:00:22. > :00:24.journalist Tony Grew and the entertainment

:00:25. > :00:25.journalist Caroline Frost. Tomorrow's front pages:

:00:26. > :00:27.The Financial Times writes that Donald Trump has opened

:00:28. > :00:33.the door to military action following the latest nuclear weapons

:00:34. > :00:36.test by North Korea. The i also leads with the bomb test,

:00:37. > :00:41.in which the US secretary of defence warns of possible annihilation

:00:42. > :00:46.options in response. Your move, Mr Trump,

:00:47. > :00:48.is the headline across the Metro, as it shows a photo

:00:49. > :00:51.of the North Korean leader shortly The Times says Mr Trump has

:00:52. > :00:59.threatened to sever trade ties with any country that deals

:01:00. > :01:02.with North Korea, including China. According to the Telegraph,

:01:03. > :01:07.there is growing concern in Europe that Mr Trump is considering

:01:08. > :01:10.unilateral action, as the UN Security Council is

:01:11. > :01:13.due to meet tomorrow. The Guardian leads with

:01:14. > :01:15.an unpublished official report which says families who have lost

:01:16. > :01:18.loved ones in police custody are being failed by authorities,

:01:19. > :01:21.and calls for reform to the system. And the Daily Mail headlines that

:01:22. > :01:24.households who overfill their bins could face a fine of up to ?2,500

:01:25. > :01:28.and a criminal conviction, as councils try to push recycling

:01:29. > :01:56.and cut collections. Let's began. -- begin. We will start

:01:57. > :02:02.off with the Guardian, and the big story is North Korea. So the front

:02:03. > :02:08.page of the Guardian, escalating the nuclear crisis is the way they are

:02:09. > :02:12.labelling that picture. Yes, I mean, it is obviously a very worrying set

:02:13. > :02:15.of circumstances. Although there hasn't been any independent

:02:16. > :02:19.verification, it looks very likely that North Korea has detonated a

:02:20. > :02:23.bomb in a nuclear tests, the first test they had carried out since

:02:24. > :02:27.President Trump came into office and the sixth since 2006. Now, if they

:02:28. > :02:31.have a nuclear capability, and they have recently demonstrated that they

:02:32. > :02:35.have the ability to fire long-range missiles, certainly as far as Japan

:02:36. > :02:39.and beyond, then this is an existential threat to the United

:02:40. > :02:47.States, and indeed, two other actors in the region. The disturbing thing

:02:48. > :02:51.is that the sanctions regimes which have been in place for a long time

:02:52. > :02:54.don't appear to be working. North Korea is still pushing forward with

:02:55. > :03:00.its ambitions to become a nuclear armed state. It concerns me that

:03:01. > :03:06.Donald Trump is leaving at this moment, because his approach is

:03:07. > :03:10.different to the coolheaded approach we might expect from the leader of

:03:11. > :03:14.the free world. I talked about the missile test. He is talking about

:03:15. > :03:18.fire and fury, and I was looking at that in thinking that is not how

:03:19. > :03:22.this is supposed to work. A more junior State Department official

:03:23. > :03:26.should be responding to that. Not the president of the United States.

:03:27. > :03:30.He just escalated this to the top of the agenda. I can't help thinking of

:03:31. > :03:34.this is North Korea escalating Ms Moore, pushing and pushing it to see

:03:35. > :03:38.what happens next. And on the subject of sanctions, I can't

:03:39. > :03:41.remember who it was, but I think there was a national leader who was

:03:42. > :03:49.saying that we need to implement the sanctions that have already been

:03:50. > :03:54.proved. Some people will be surprised, saying why agree to these

:03:55. > :04:00.sanctions and not implement them? And because we know very little

:04:01. > :04:03.about the motivation of the North Korean leaders, we could argue it is

:04:04. > :04:07.the sanctions causing them to go down this avenue. They are thinking

:04:08. > :04:12.the world is pressing in on us on trade channel, and we need to show

:04:13. > :04:18.our might somehow. It is like bouncy castle, squeeze them here and they

:04:19. > :04:23.will try to emerge mightier here. Economic sanctions do not seem to be

:04:24. > :04:27.working. They are not pulling back. As you say, Donald Trump's hefty

:04:28. > :04:31.tweets don't seem to be doing much either. I feel like we have been

:04:32. > :04:35.back into a corner. We can just desperately hope that a lot of back

:04:36. > :04:38.channels are being opened that we are not being informed about. And

:04:39. > :04:42.certainly South Korea wants dialogue. They don't want to go down

:04:43. > :04:47.this military Road, and they are the ones coming Donald Trump down,

:04:48. > :04:51.saying we don't want this. And that is the point. Quite apart from this

:04:52. > :04:55.focus on their nuclear capabilities, North Korea is a heavily armed state

:04:56. > :05:00.with a significant amount of conventional weapons and hardware.

:05:01. > :05:04.It is a huge threat. We talk about the threat to Guam or the idea that

:05:05. > :05:08.they might be able to get a nuclear device as far as the western coast

:05:09. > :05:11.of the United States, but the people in the immediate firing line from

:05:12. > :05:16.those conventional weapons are South Korea, especially the capital. If I

:05:17. > :05:20.was a South Korea, I wouldn't be particularly comforted by the fact

:05:21. > :05:27.that Donald Trump seems to be the United States' response. Talking

:05:28. > :05:31.about the US response, if we turn to the Telegraph, the US warning it is

:05:32. > :05:38.ready to annihilate North Korea. You mentioned this H-bomb tests, and

:05:39. > :05:50.basically one of the steps into obtaining a missile head that has a

:05:51. > :05:54.nuclear weapon on it is miniaturising. You wonder if they

:05:55. > :06:02.have done it. This is a big step, and the US saying they are ready to

:06:03. > :06:06.annihilate North Korea. This latest test has been estimated as ten times

:06:07. > :06:10.more powerful than the most recent ones. So the threats, if it is

:06:11. > :06:14.existent, as you say it has not been independently verified, is

:06:15. > :06:20.exponentially growing at quite a rate. And what we have in parallel

:06:21. > :06:23.is the US using rhetoric that is exponentially more threatening. So

:06:24. > :06:28.words like annihilation, fire and fury. These are meaningless words.

:06:29. > :06:34.These are words that you shout out when nothing is at risk, but so much

:06:35. > :06:39.is at risk, that I absolutely agree with Tony. I don't think that this

:06:40. > :06:42.can be put in the hands of the tweets, by anybody, let alone

:06:43. > :06:50.somebody who we know it is very spontaneous. And they are escalating

:06:51. > :06:55.again. Just in terms of rhetoric and language. You are now escalating the

:06:56. > :06:59.situation. How will we be escalated? What we should be aiming for is

:07:00. > :07:03.de-escalation. Containing one North Korea is trying to do in terms of

:07:04. > :07:08.its nuclear programme. And the only people that appear to have an

:07:09. > :07:12.influence on this are China. But for the president of the United States,

:07:13. > :07:15.or for any other administration official, to even claim that they

:07:16. > :07:19.might cut off trade links with China, because China trades with

:07:20. > :07:23.North Korea, is fantasy. And it is part of the unreality of the

:07:24. > :07:27.situation we're in. That you have the president of the United States

:07:28. > :07:32.saying I am willing to put ?400 billion worth of trade at risk. No

:07:33. > :07:35.president should be in that position. And you mentioned that

:07:36. > :07:41.ultimately what we look for is regime change, but the Qin dynasty

:07:42. > :07:45.is a whole other can of worms. Their whole agenda is to maintain the

:07:46. > :07:50.status quo, to maintain the dynasty at all cost. That is the only thing

:07:51. > :07:55.we know about North Korea, that if there is one agenda which is a known

:07:56. > :07:59.fact, it is that. They have no interest in, in any way,

:08:00. > :08:03.participating in something that will bring them down. And as a population

:08:04. > :08:08.they are a lot more prepared for war than the Americans are. They are in

:08:09. > :08:15.a constant state of alert. It reminds me, do you remember after

:08:16. > :08:22.9/11, George Bush was a little bit Old Testament, hell hath no fury,

:08:23. > :08:27.and it was Laura Bush, who happen to be his wife, and there was a

:08:28. > :08:30.de-escalation. It will be interesting to see somebody in the

:08:31. > :08:37.White House has a conversation overnight. I think Tillerson, but

:08:38. > :08:43.there are suggestions he could resign. And in the Times, Theresa

:08:44. > :08:51.May reigns in rebels with a fear of reshuffle. Will it happen? I don't

:08:52. > :08:59.know. Come on! After the Parliamentary recess, there has been

:09:00. > :09:03.a lot of threats throughout the weekend, Tory whips apparently

:09:04. > :09:07.telling Tory MPs that if they try to amend the legislation in any way

:09:08. > :09:13.they are ushering in a Jeremy Corbyn government. For a woman who called

:09:14. > :09:16.an election early, lost the majority, took the brave step of

:09:17. > :09:20.running a personality -based election around the candidate who

:09:21. > :09:27.doesn't have a personality, she has come out with what some people call

:09:28. > :09:30.chutzpah. She is talking about her strength and how the Prime Minister

:09:31. > :09:34.has the ability to hire. They are hinting Boris Johnson could be

:09:35. > :09:43.demoted from Foreign Secretary. I am certainly impressed with her

:09:44. > :09:47.optimism, and with the suggestion she thinks she has this power with

:09:48. > :09:51.the party. Theresa May is only prime minister because her backbenchers

:09:52. > :09:55.can't see a better option, and she is only prime minister because she

:09:56. > :09:59.has had to do a deal with a minor Northern Ireland party, and stump up

:10:00. > :10:04.money just to stabilise the government for two years. So the

:10:05. > :10:08.idea that this a Prime Minister who will sack Boris Johnson, or indeed

:10:09. > :10:11.that there are people who could be promoted, shows the ridiculousness

:10:12. > :10:18.of the situation the Conservative Party finds itself in. Putting that

:10:19. > :10:21.on the front page of the Times as a serious intention. There are people

:10:22. > :10:26.who have just been elected as chair of select committees. Who would give

:10:27. > :10:29.up such an important role in Parliament to become a junior

:10:30. > :10:33.minister for paperclips. Very little of this story I understand, if I am

:10:34. > :10:38.being honest. Have you been following the rise and rise of Jacob

:10:39. > :10:45.Rees-Mogg? Every era seems to throw up somebody. We had the Boris years,

:10:46. > :10:55.the fluffy charm, and Jacob Rees-Mogg I would argue is taking

:10:56. > :11:03.that position. It has left room for Jacob Rees-Mogg to flourish. In the

:11:04. > :11:07.Mirror, I thought this opt out system was already in place, because

:11:08. > :11:12.we have been talking about it for a long time, haven't we? It is in

:11:13. > :11:15.place in Wales and is about to come in in Scotland, and it is quite

:11:16. > :11:22.common in European countries, but not here. Basically, in England, you

:11:23. > :11:30.have two opt in, as I am sure people are aware, you have to opt in for

:11:31. > :11:39.organ donation. And the Labour MP, in the Mirror, putting pressure on

:11:40. > :11:43.the government to train change that, so that in the event of their death,

:11:44. > :11:48.the organs will be available for transplant. I don't know, what do

:11:49. > :11:52.you think about it? I think it is one of those things that I think it

:11:53. > :11:56.is a very wise system. Just because it is the sort of question that

:11:57. > :12:01.nobody wants to be asked ever, particular in a very traumatic

:12:02. > :12:05.circumstances. We have anecdotal evidence and huge research that

:12:06. > :12:09.people do feel better at a time of otherwise desperate despair and

:12:10. > :12:17.sadness, that this has happened. Do you have a card? Yes, I have a card.

:12:18. > :12:22.Would you assume your family would say yes? I think so. Of all the

:12:23. > :12:29.family is the research, they found that 177 people said they weren't

:12:30. > :12:37.sure what they their families wanted. At some arbitrary time in

:12:38. > :12:40.your life, you signup to it, and there are many subjects British

:12:41. > :12:47.people don't like to discuss. And maybe the day you leave school, when

:12:48. > :12:52.you are not worried about it. The Daily Mail, that scares me. There

:12:53. > :12:57.are certain times of the year when, you know, you do put a lot of

:12:58. > :13:06.rubbish in your bin. Do they clink? In that blue bin. It is so unlike

:13:07. > :13:10.the Daily Mail. It is obviously a rare miss from them that they have

:13:11. > :13:17.managed to wind people up. This will wind people up as it will give

:13:18. > :13:20.councils, and many are angry about their bin collections to begin with,

:13:21. > :13:24.the fact they are forced to go through all these hoops, in the name

:13:25. > :13:31.of recycling and green targets, not that I disapprove of those, but this

:13:32. > :13:38.will be another puritans, and the fascinating thing about this is that

:13:39. > :13:42.terminal convictions. People get a criminal conviction for overfilling

:13:43. > :13:47.their bin. Singapore style, isn't it? And putting your bin out early

:13:48. > :13:51.or late is on the list of offences. I spent some time studying in

:13:52. > :13:55.Switzerland and I thought I was being very efficient, I put my bin

:13:56. > :14:01.out a day early and was charged about ?70 for that. And I took it on

:14:02. > :14:06.the chin. It is quite common in some European countries, they have really

:14:07. > :14:09.strict rules. They are much more regimented societies than Britain

:14:10. > :14:19.has been up until now. Obviously things might be... A criminal

:14:20. > :14:23.conviction, Caroline. I don't want to be too old lady, but some things

:14:24. > :14:29.could be considered criminal, dropping a piece of litter, you see

:14:30. > :14:33.people leaving sofas, at what point do you realise you lived in a nice

:14:34. > :14:37.community and it no longer is nice? Are not suggesting we go all the way

:14:38. > :14:45.to Singapore, and fine people for dropping a sweet wrapper, but make a

:14:46. > :14:50.point. And fly tipping needs a lot of resources and is a much bigger

:14:51. > :14:54.problem. I would think they would want to put these two things

:14:55. > :15:06.together. And you are both excited about this. You like a bit of bling,

:15:07. > :15:10.do you, Tony? I think it is nice to see people who we might have assumed

:15:11. > :15:14.were no longer with us, but Donald Sutherland certainly lived on the

:15:15. > :15:20.wild side. I didn't know who that was until you said that. It is good

:15:21. > :15:27.to see him still mobile. I find it interesting, because this Film

:15:28. > :15:31.Festival is a brilliant showcase, including for some British films. It

:15:32. > :15:35.has a real boost to its profile because it won an award. This is

:15:36. > :15:40.part of the momentum building for awards season, which will come early

:15:41. > :15:45.2018. What I am enjoying about the Film Festival this year, we have

:15:46. > :15:49.Dame Helen as a brilliant and radiant as ever, a couple of days

:15:50. > :15:54.ago we had Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, and it is great to see a real

:15:55. > :16:01.veteran, top Hollywood stars on the red carpet, and there is a hunger

:16:02. > :16:04.for them. Forget what you say about the youth market, they can have

:16:05. > :16:06.their super heroes, this is the quality stuff. We have run out of

:16:07. > :16:10.time. Thank you, Tony Grew

:16:11. > :16:14.and Caroline Frost. Coming up next,

:16:15. > :16:20.it is The Film Review.
