:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:25.With me are Martin Lipton, the deputy head of sport at the Sun,

:00:26. > :00:27.and Helen Brand, who's the chief executive

:00:28. > :00:34.of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

:00:35. > :00:44.Hallen, it is lovely to have it here, thank you for coming in, and

:00:45. > :00:53.you, Martin, of course. The front pages, the i carries a warning about

:00:54. > :00:55.the terror threat of drones. The Daily Telegraph says an

:00:56. > :01:01.investigation is under way into a massive cyber attack on US credit

:01:02. > :01:04.rating firm Equis fax among fears that hackers may have stolen the

:01:05. > :01:08.personal data of up to 44 million British consumers.

:01:09. > :01:11.The Independent leads on that up to half a million Americans have

:01:12. > :01:13.been told to evacuate their homes ahead of Hurricane Irma

:01:14. > :01:19.The Daily Mail claims that English charities are given

:01:20. > :01:21.far less lottery cash than their counterparts in Scotland.

:01:22. > :01:23.It carries a different story on the front

:01:24. > :01:31.The Sun leads on allegations concerning a bride-to-be who it

:01:32. > :01:35.claims jilted her would-be husband at the airport.

:01:36. > :01:41.The Mirror also carries those allegations on its front page.

:01:42. > :01:44.The Guardian carries a warning from the Nato chief,

:01:45. > :01:47.Jens Stoltenberg that the world is more a dangerous place today

:01:48. > :01:52.The Times reports that an influential Tory donor has

:01:53. > :01:53.criticised Theresa May for being "hopeless",

:01:54. > :01:56."very indecisive" and leading a weak government,

:01:57. > :02:05.We can start with that litany of criticism from The Times! Top Tory

:02:06. > :02:10.party donor accuses Prime Minister of mishandling Brexit and alienating

:02:11. > :02:17.business. This is a carpet magnate, tell us a bit about this story. It

:02:18. > :02:20.has descended quite quickly into the personal about Theresa May, but at

:02:21. > :02:26.the heart of that is the increasing despair of business around the lack

:02:27. > :02:31.of clarity on Brexit negotiations. Since the day of the vote, business

:02:32. > :02:34.has been asking for clarity about the transition process, about access

:02:35. > :02:40.to the single market, and none of that is coming through, so I think

:02:41. > :02:43.this has been pulled out here, but Theresa May's leadership style and

:02:44. > :02:48.the way she is leading her party has been pinpointed by Lord Harris is

:02:49. > :02:56.one of the reasons that that is not coming through. He used to be a

:02:57. > :03:01.somebody in the Conservative Party, he was deputy treasurer, close to

:03:02. > :03:09.David Cameron. I don't quite of happen to him! This is pretty nasty,

:03:10. > :03:13.aggressive stuff here. Describing Theresa May is hopeless, indecisive,

:03:14. > :03:17.leading a weak government, talking about her basically not being up to

:03:18. > :03:21.it, and also dismissing Boris Johnson is too lazy to be an

:03:22. > :03:26.effective Prime Minister, calling for Ruth Davidson to become Tory

:03:27. > :03:30.leader. How would she do that? Unless she gets ennobled and did

:03:31. > :03:37.what Lord Hume did back in 1963 to become Prime Minister, that is

:03:38. > :03:43.pretty unlikely. I can't believe that any senior conservative would

:03:44. > :03:50.say that they would prefer a strong Labour government lead by somebody

:03:51. > :03:57.like Tony Blair... It's not sounding very futuristic. Basically despite

:03:58. > :04:02.last week's attempt by May to say that she will go on and on ad

:04:03. > :04:06.infinitum, no one is buying it, and this is positioning again within,

:04:07. > :04:12.but I think as Helen said, the bigger issue is people's doubts and

:04:13. > :04:16.criticism, critiques of the government policy. But why is she

:04:17. > :04:22.being clobbered in this way when she is not the one handling the Brexit

:04:23. > :04:26.negotiations? It is David Davis, Liam Fox who are supposed to be

:04:27. > :04:31.dealing with trade when it can finally happen. They are all members

:04:32. > :04:39.of her Government, and people look to the Prime Minister for

:04:40. > :04:45.leadership. I think her injecting clarity from the very top, that

:04:46. > :04:51.style of leadership is incredibly important. She is supposed to be the

:04:52. > :04:54.first among equals, but that is the idea of Prime Minister, she is the

:04:55. > :05:04.first Lord of the it, and apparently she is also Geoffrey Boycott. Yes,

:05:05. > :05:08.let's look at this on the guardian. Theresa May bowled over by boycott.

:05:09. > :05:19.I think you had better set out what has been happening. Where did she

:05:20. > :05:23.appear? She appeared today on Test Match Special, which is an

:05:24. > :05:27.interesting place... Is she a cricket fan? If she is, she stopped

:05:28. > :05:34.in 1982 when Geoffrey Boycott last played. This reminds me of when John

:05:35. > :05:42.Major talked about old maids going across the lawn on their bicycles

:05:43. > :05:48.and all the sort of thing. It was spinsters cycling to Evensong,

:05:49. > :05:51.please get it right! But if it is trying to prove that you are current

:05:52. > :05:56.and not living in the past, why would you go back to someone who

:05:57. > :06:02.stopped playing 35 years ago, or he was a very fine player. He has been

:06:03. > :06:08.a big figure. But the funny thing was, she baked her Rome Brownies.

:06:09. > :06:16.Apparently a Nigel Slater recipe. But that is a big thing, to bring

:06:17. > :06:20.cake. She was asked about her style, and her response was, I get

:06:21. > :06:25.frustrated, people use the term robotic about me. I don't think I'm

:06:26. > :06:30.the least robotic. Well why are you say in it, then? You are bringing it

:06:31. > :06:37.up again! Don't talk about what things aren't. But Jonathan Agnew

:06:38. > :06:43.asked, didn't he bore you to tears, Geoffrey Boycott? He stuck to his

:06:44. > :06:47.guns, I'm sure she is trying to make an analogy, that being boring is not

:06:48. > :06:52.the point, it is about getting the job done, but it is quite an odd

:06:53. > :06:55.person to hold up as your leadership figure. He was also at the heart of

:06:56. > :06:59.the ructions which destroyed Yorkshire cricket for many years

:07:00. > :07:07.because of the chaos, the divisive camps that he was one side of in

:07:08. > :07:10.that. But he did introduce us to the idea of the corridor of uncertainty.

:07:11. > :07:22.We have a lot of those in this building! Let's move on to the i.

:07:23. > :07:29.This is the picture on the top of the eye, Irma's path of destruction.

:07:30. > :07:35.Just tinder made out of buildings in the Caribbean. Many of them are

:07:36. > :07:40.territories linked to the UK, and it links back to the last story about

:07:41. > :07:42.leadership, and showing that we are connected and our people there

:07:43. > :07:47.feeling supported in the way that they need to be through what is an

:07:48. > :07:53.absolutely Terol time, the pictures are shocking, and I think that we as

:07:54. > :07:59.British territories, we do have a duty of care to the people there.

:08:00. > :08:02.And Boris Johnson has defended the response tonight, because there has

:08:03. > :08:10.been criticism that there was too little, too late, perhaps not enough

:08:11. > :08:15.but to reactive. I do suspect that this sheer scale of this disaster

:08:16. > :08:19.meant that any response would have been too little and may be too late,

:08:20. > :08:22.but there does seem to be a genuine concern in the Caribbean islands

:08:23. > :08:27.about the lack of response from the Government. The French and Dutch

:08:28. > :08:30.have been praised. Matt Cromwell on the Dutch Prime Minister as well,

:08:31. > :08:34.and we haven't really seen the same response... I understand that the

:08:35. > :08:38.French and Dutch have far more troops based in the region, whereas

:08:39. > :08:42.we are having to find people, so it is in a way easier to be there more

:08:43. > :08:50.quickly, but still, what is the level of support? It is great to see

:08:51. > :08:57.that there are now playing is nearly there, there is a frigate. But it

:08:58. > :09:06.could take a couple of people to get their -- couple of weeks for people

:09:07. > :09:14.to get their biplane. To get there, by aeroplane. And they had to make

:09:15. > :09:18.sure it was safe before they went, safe to land unsafe to deliver the

:09:19. > :09:24.goods. On the other aspect is what is going to happen in Florida this

:09:25. > :09:27.weekend, the Daily Telegraph, thousands in Florida Exodus,

:09:28. > :09:31.something like half a million people on the move. At the moment I'm told

:09:32. > :09:37.that people in southern Florida are being told to move, not the people

:09:38. > :09:41.in central Florida. I have a stake in this one in my parents live in

:09:42. > :09:47.Orlando, and they are staying put, despite my efforts to tell them to

:09:48. > :09:53.go. They have put duct tape on the windows, it is all fine! They do

:09:54. > :09:57.know that this is an airborne phenomena? You might have thought

:09:58. > :10:01.that, but you never know, but apparently everyone else is staying,

:10:02. > :10:06.so it is OK, apparently. But I think the hope is that the more permanent

:10:07. > :10:09.structures they believe will be safer than the caravan parks which

:10:10. > :10:15.are obviously open to all sorts of elements. And the roads are clogged,

:10:16. > :10:18.because everyone is heading north, so they can't get up people are

:10:19. > :10:22.spending hours and hours not moving, and do you really want to be on a

:10:23. > :10:31.motorway in a car of this thing happens? And then of course we have

:10:32. > :10:36.Jose out in the Atlantic, not likely to hit Florida, but the other

:10:37. > :10:39.islands that have already suffered. It does seem to be a constant

:10:40. > :10:43.barrage of natural disasters at the moment. We have not seen much of it

:10:44. > :10:47.coming through in the papers, sure the whole issue around climate

:10:48. > :10:50.change and how much this is affecting, bringing about these

:10:51. > :10:56.scenarios is going to come into play, because there have to be some

:10:57. > :10:59.longer term solutions, however prepared we are, however much we

:11:00. > :11:03.have our disaster recovery plans and put into place all the good

:11:04. > :11:08.practices around that... I'm not sure what you can do about 200 mph

:11:09. > :11:13.winds. Sea temperatures are function of global warming. Staying with the

:11:14. > :11:17.Daily Telegraph, 44 million Britons caught in a US hack. This is

:11:18. > :11:25.customers for companies like BT, British Gas. Have you not got that?

:11:26. > :11:32.You have got it. There you go. Please pay attention! Customers have

:11:33. > :11:43.had their personal data taken, not directly from these companies, but

:11:44. > :11:48.something else. This is another trust issue, and we would all feel

:11:49. > :11:57.more Cottrell with BT and British Gas, but this data is held by

:11:58. > :12:01.another company, a US company, Equifax, so it is all about how our

:12:02. > :12:06.data is used, the integrity of the data, and it is still not clear what

:12:07. > :12:12.exactly has happened. The information commission is looking at

:12:13. > :12:18.it. This is 143 million customers in the US. This took place in May, and

:12:19. > :12:21.we are only just hearing about it. This is the thing that people are

:12:22. > :12:26.fearful of giving information, because they don't trust these

:12:27. > :12:30.companies, they don't trust computers, and when things at this

:12:31. > :12:37.happen, it reinforces that thinking of is this safe, and my vulnerable

:12:38. > :12:46.here? They don't know. Let's move on to the guardian, Desmond Tutu break

:12:47. > :12:52.silence to attack Aung San Suu Kyi, and we have had Malala Yousafzai

:12:53. > :12:54.also expressing consternation that Aung San Suu Kyi seems to be

:12:55. > :12:58.presiding over these military led operations against the Rohingya

:12:59. > :13:16.minority in the wacky -- Rakhine state. Teller macro

:13:17. > :13:19.the difficulty of Aung San Suu Kyi being in this position, it is

:13:20. > :13:23.challenging to all of us, we have held up as a heroine for the stand

:13:24. > :13:31.she took for democracy and the sacrifices she made for Myanmar, but

:13:32. > :13:40.I think the really big questions are being raised about how she is

:13:41. > :13:44.tackling this issue. It was an issue raised before she was elected, and

:13:45. > :13:48.she batted it aside, and suddenly it is real, and it is disconcerting to

:13:49. > :13:55.discover that the people you set up as heroes have feet of clay. And

:13:56. > :14:01.Desmond Tutu saying he is breaking his vow to remain silent on public

:14:02. > :14:03.affairs out of sadness. And it will cause controversy as well that he

:14:04. > :14:10.has been breaking ranks almost amongst the Nobel laureates, but you

:14:11. > :14:14.can see the pain and anguish on so many faces, it is quite

:14:15. > :14:19.heartbreaking to witness. Finally, the Times, sport on the front page.

:14:20. > :14:26.This is good! I thought you would approve. James Anderson celebrating

:14:27. > :14:30.500 Test wickets, the only Englishman to do that. The only

:14:31. > :14:34.Englishman, sixth person in the history of Test cricket, and he

:14:35. > :14:39.wants to go on and on, and he is in the perfect place to do it, at

:14:40. > :14:43.Lord's, the home of cricket, massive swing ball, taking the middle peg

:14:44. > :14:48.out of the West Indies opening batsmen, great delivery, and he has

:14:49. > :14:51.been a fantastic bowler. He has also learned to control his body as well

:14:52. > :15:00.as he controls the ball. Because his pace has slowed down. He started off

:15:01. > :15:09.tearaway quick, and at 35 years still bending it round corners. The

:15:10. > :15:18.top spot is 800 wickets. So he has got a way to go, but you think he

:15:19. > :15:26.has the time? He isn't going to get that far, Courtney Walsh is at 519,

:15:27. > :15:39.and McGrath, the Aussie is at 563. That would put in third, fourth.

:15:40. > :15:47.Morillas in and worn other next -- Shane Warne are the next. Robert

:15:48. > :15:52.Alan, who is producing tonight, advises that the spinsters cycling

:15:53. > :15:55.to Evensong was from the clergymen's daughter in Orson Welles.

:15:56. > :15:59.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:16:00. > :16:03.It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers.

:16:04. > :16:06.And if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it

:16:07. > :16:14.Palin, I hope you will come back thank you for joining us. Martin,

:16:15. > :16:15.thank you for joining us as ever. Coming up next, the weather.
