Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:16.:00:18.

With me are Martin Lipton, the deputy head of sport at the Sun,

:00:19.:00:25.

and Helen Brand, who's the chief executive

:00:26.:00:27.

of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

:00:28.:00:34.

Hallen, it is lovely to have it here, thank you for coming in, and

:00:35.:00:44.

you, Martin, of course. The front pages, the i carries a warning about

:00:45.:00:53.

the terror threat of drones. The Daily Telegraph says an

:00:54.:00:55.

investigation is under way into a massive cyber attack on US credit

:00:56.:01:01.

rating firm Equis fax among fears that hackers may have stolen the

:01:02.:01:04.

personal data of up to 44 million British consumers.

:01:05.:01:08.

The Independent leads on that up to half a million Americans have

:01:09.:01:11.

been told to evacuate their homes ahead of Hurricane Irma

:01:12.:01:13.

The Daily Mail claims that English charities are given

:01:14.:01:19.

far less lottery cash than their counterparts in Scotland.

:01:20.:01:21.

It carries a different story on the front

:01:22.:01:23.

The Sun leads on allegations concerning a bride-to-be who it

:01:24.:01:31.

claims jilted her would-be husband at the airport.

:01:32.:01:35.

The Mirror also carries those allegations on its front page.

:01:36.:01:41.

The Guardian carries a warning from the Nato chief,

:01:42.:01:44.

Jens Stoltenberg that the world is more a dangerous place today

:01:45.:01:47.

The Times reports that an influential Tory donor has

:01:48.:01:52.

criticised Theresa May for being "hopeless",

:01:53.:01:53.

"very indecisive" and leading a weak government,

:01:54.:01:56.

We can start with that litany of criticism from The Times! Top Tory

:01:57.:02:05.

party donor accuses Prime Minister of mishandling Brexit and alienating

:02:06.:02:10.

business. This is a carpet magnate, tell us a bit about this story. It

:02:11.:02:17.

has descended quite quickly into the personal about Theresa May, but at

:02:18.:02:20.

the heart of that is the increasing despair of business around the lack

:02:21.:02:26.

of clarity on Brexit negotiations. Since the day of the vote, business

:02:27.:02:31.

has been asking for clarity about the transition process, about access

:02:32.:02:34.

to the single market, and none of that is coming through, so I think

:02:35.:02:40.

this has been pulled out here, but Theresa May's leadership style and

:02:41.:02:43.

the way she is leading her party has been pinpointed by Lord Harris is

:02:44.:02:48.

one of the reasons that that is not coming through. He used to be a

:02:49.:02:56.

somebody in the Conservative Party, he was deputy treasurer, close to

:02:57.:03:01.

David Cameron. I don't quite of happen to him! This is pretty nasty,

:03:02.:03:09.

aggressive stuff here. Describing Theresa May is hopeless, indecisive,

:03:10.:03:13.

leading a weak government, talking about her basically not being up to

:03:14.:03:17.

it, and also dismissing Boris Johnson is too lazy to be an

:03:18.:03:21.

effective Prime Minister, calling for Ruth Davidson to become Tory

:03:22.:03:26.

leader. How would she do that? Unless she gets ennobled and did

:03:27.:03:30.

what Lord Hume did back in 1963 to become Prime Minister, that is

:03:31.:03:37.

pretty unlikely. I can't believe that any senior conservative would

:03:38.:03:43.

say that they would prefer a strong Labour government lead by somebody

:03:44.:03:50.

like Tony Blair... It's not sounding very futuristic. Basically despite

:03:51.:03:57.

last week's attempt by May to say that she will go on and on ad

:03:58.:04:02.

infinitum, no one is buying it, and this is positioning again within,

:04:03.:04:06.

but I think as Helen said, the bigger issue is people's doubts and

:04:07.:04:12.

criticism, critiques of the government policy. But why is she

:04:13.:04:16.

being clobbered in this way when she is not the one handling the Brexit

:04:17.:04:22.

negotiations? It is David Davis, Liam Fox who are supposed to be

:04:23.:04:26.

dealing with trade when it can finally happen. They are all members

:04:27.:04:31.

of her Government, and people look to the Prime Minister for

:04:32.:04:39.

leadership. I think her injecting clarity from the very top, that

:04:40.:04:45.

style of leadership is incredibly important. She is supposed to be the

:04:46.:04:51.

first among equals, but that is the idea of Prime Minister, she is the

:04:52.:04:54.

first Lord of the it, and apparently she is also Geoffrey Boycott. Yes,

:04:55.:05:04.

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

:05:05.:05:08.

I think you had better set out what has been happening. Where did she

:05:09.:05:19.

appear? She appeared today on Test Match Special, which is an

:05:20.:05:23.

interesting place... Is she a cricket fan? If she is, she stopped

:05:24.:05:27.

in 1982 when Geoffrey Boycott last played. This reminds me of when John

:05:28.:05:34.

Major talked about old maids going across the lawn on their bicycles

:05:35.:05:42.

and all the sort of thing. It was spinsters cycling to Evensong,

:05:43.:05:48.

please get it right! But if it is trying to prove that you are current

:05:49.:05:51.

and not living in the past, why would you go back to someone who

:05:52.:05:56.

stopped playing 35 years ago, or he was a very fine player. He has been

:05:57.:06:02.

a big figure. But the funny thing was, she baked her Rome Brownies.

:06:03.:06:08.

Apparently a Nigel Slater recipe. But that is a big thing, to bring

:06:09.:06:16.

cake. She was asked about her style, and her response was, I get

:06:17.:06:20.

frustrated, people use the term robotic about me. I don't think I'm

:06:21.:06:25.

the least robotic. Well why are you say in it, then? You are bringing it

:06:26.:06:30.

up again! Don't talk about what things aren't. But Jonathan Agnew

:06:31.:06:37.

asked, didn't he bore you to tears, Geoffrey Boycott? He stuck to his

:06:38.:06:43.

guns, I'm sure she is trying to make an analogy, that being boring is not

:06:44.:06:47.

the point, it is about getting the job done, but it is quite an odd

:06:48.:06:52.

person to hold up as your leadership figure. He was also at the heart of

:06:53.:06:55.

the ructions which destroyed Yorkshire cricket for many years

:06:56.:06:59.

because of the chaos, the divisive camps that he was one side of in

:07:00.:07:07.

that. But he did introduce us to the idea of the corridor of uncertainty.

:07:08.:07:10.

We have a lot of those in this building! Let's move on to the i.

:07:11.:07:22.

This is the picture on the top of the eye, Irma's path of destruction.

:07:23.:07:29.

Just tinder made out of buildings in the Caribbean. Many of them are

:07:30.:07:35.

territories linked to the UK, and it links back to the last story about

:07:36.:07:40.

leadership, and showing that we are connected and our people there

:07:41.:07:42.

feeling supported in the way that they need to be through what is an

:07:43.:07:47.

absolutely Terol time, the pictures are shocking, and I think that we as

:07:48.:07:53.

British territories, we do have a duty of care to the people there.

:07:54.:07:59.

And Boris Johnson has defended the response tonight, because there has

:08:00.:08:02.

been criticism that there was too little, too late, perhaps not enough

:08:03.:08:10.

but to reactive. I do suspect that this sheer scale of this disaster

:08:11.:08:15.

meant that any response would have been too little and may be too late,

:08:16.:08:19.

but there does seem to be a genuine concern in the Caribbean islands

:08:20.:08:22.

about the lack of response from the Government. The French and Dutch

:08:23.:08:27.

have been praised. Matt Cromwell on the Dutch Prime Minister as well,

:08:28.:08:30.

and we haven't really seen the same response... I understand that the

:08:31.:08:34.

French and Dutch have far more troops based in the region, whereas

:08:35.:08:38.

we are having to find people, so it is in a way easier to be there more

:08:39.:08:42.

quickly, but still, what is the level of support? It is great to see

:08:43.:08:50.

that there are now playing is nearly there, there is a frigate. But it

:08:51.:08:57.

could take a couple of people to get their -- couple of weeks for people

:08:58.:09:06.

to get their biplane. To get there, by aeroplane. And they had to make

:09:07.:09:14.

sure it was safe before they went, safe to land unsafe to deliver the

:09:15.:09:18.

goods. On the other aspect is what is going to happen in Florida this

:09:19.:09:24.

weekend, the Daily Telegraph, thousands in Florida Exodus,

:09:25.:09:27.

something like half a million people on the move. At the moment I'm told

:09:28.:09:31.

that people in southern Florida are being told to move, not the people

:09:32.:09:37.

in central Florida. I have a stake in this one in my parents live in

:09:38.:09:41.

Orlando, and they are staying put, despite my efforts to tell them to

:09:42.:09:47.

go. They have put duct tape on the windows, it is all fine! They do

:09:48.:09:53.

know that this is an airborne phenomena? You might have thought

:09:54.:09:57.

that, but you never know, but apparently everyone else is staying,

:09:58.:10:01.

so it is OK, apparently. But I think the hope is that the more permanent

:10:02.:10:06.

structures they believe will be safer than the caravan parks which

:10:07.:10:09.

are obviously open to all sorts of elements. And the roads are clogged,

:10:10.:10:15.

because everyone is heading north, so they can't get up people are

:10:16.:10:18.

spending hours and hours not moving, and do you really want to be on a

:10:19.:10:22.

motorway in a car of this thing happens? And then of course we have

:10:23.:10:31.

Jose out in the Atlantic, not likely to hit Florida, but the other

:10:32.:10:36.

islands that have already suffered. It does seem to be a constant

:10:37.:10:39.

barrage of natural disasters at the moment. We have not seen much of it

:10:40.:10:43.

coming through in the papers, sure the whole issue around climate

:10:44.:10:47.

change and how much this is affecting, bringing about these

:10:48.:10:50.

scenarios is going to come into play, because there have to be some

:10:51.:10:56.

longer term solutions, however prepared we are, however much we

:10:57.:10:59.

have our disaster recovery plans and put into place all the good

:11:00.:11:03.

practices around that... I'm not sure what you can do about 200 mph

:11:04.:11:08.

winds. Sea temperatures are function of global warming. Staying with the

:11:09.:11:13.

Daily Telegraph, 44 million Britons caught in a US hack. This is

:11:14.:11:17.

customers for companies like BT, British Gas. Have you not got that?

:11:18.:11:25.

You have got it. There you go. Please pay attention! Customers have

:11:26.:11:32.

had their personal data taken, not directly from these companies, but

:11:33.:11:43.

something else. This is another trust issue, and we would all feel

:11:44.:11:48.

more Cottrell with BT and British Gas, but this data is held by

:11:49.:11:57.

another company, a US company, Equifax, so it is all about how our

:11:58.:12:01.

data is used, the integrity of the data, and it is still not clear what

:12:02.:12:06.

exactly has happened. The information commission is looking at

:12:07.:12:12.

it. This is 143 million customers in the US. This took place in May, and

:12:13.:12:18.

we are only just hearing about it. This is the thing that people are

:12:19.:12:21.

fearful of giving information, because they don't trust these

:12:22.:12:26.

companies, they don't trust computers, and when things at this

:12:27.:12:30.

happen, it reinforces that thinking of is this safe, and my vulnerable

:12:31.:12:37.

here? They don't know. Let's move on to the guardian, Desmond Tutu break

:12:38.:12:46.

silence to attack Aung San Suu Kyi, and we have had Malala Yousafzai

:12:47.:12:52.

also expressing consternation that Aung San Suu Kyi seems to be

:12:53.:12:54.

presiding over these military led operations against the Rohingya

:12:55.:12:58.

minority in the wacky -- Rakhine state. Teller macro

:12:59.:13:16.

the difficulty of Aung San Suu Kyi being in this position, it is

:13:17.:13:19.

challenging to all of us, we have held up as a heroine for the stand

:13:20.:13:23.

she took for democracy and the sacrifices she made for Myanmar, but

:13:24.:13:31.

I think the really big questions are being raised about how she is

:13:32.:13:40.

tackling this issue. It was an issue raised before she was elected, and

:13:41.:13:44.

she batted it aside, and suddenly it is real, and it is disconcerting to

:13:45.:13:48.

discover that the people you set up as heroes have feet of clay. And

:13:49.:13:55.

Desmond Tutu saying he is breaking his vow to remain silent on public

:13:56.:14:01.

affairs out of sadness. And it will cause controversy as well that he

:14:02.:14:03.

has been breaking ranks almost amongst the Nobel laureates, but you

:14:04.:14:10.

can see the pain and anguish on so many faces, it is quite

:14:11.:14:14.

heartbreaking to witness. Finally, the Times, sport on the front page.

:14:15.:14:19.

This is good! I thought you would approve. James Anderson celebrating

:14:20.:14:26.

500 Test wickets, the only Englishman to do that. The only

:14:27.:14:30.

Englishman, sixth person in the history of Test cricket, and he

:14:31.:14:34.

wants to go on and on, and he is in the perfect place to do it, at

:14:35.:14:39.

Lord's, the home of cricket, massive swing ball, taking the middle peg

:14:40.:14:43.

out of the West Indies opening batsmen, great delivery, and he has

:14:44.:14:48.

been a fantastic bowler. He has also learned to control his body as well

:14:49.:14:51.

as he controls the ball. Because his pace has slowed down. He started off

:14:52.:15:00.

tearaway quick, and at 35 years still bending it round corners. The

:15:01.:15:09.

top spot is 800 wickets. So he has got a way to go, but you think he

:15:10.:15:18.

has the time? He isn't going to get that far, Courtney Walsh is at 519,

:15:19.:15:26.

and McGrath, the Aussie is at 563. That would put in third, fourth.

:15:27.:15:39.

Morillas in and worn other next -- Shane Warne are the next. Robert

:15:40.:15:47.

Alan, who is producing tonight, advises that the spinsters cycling

:15:48.:15:52.

to Evensong was from the clergymen's daughter in Orson Welles.

:15:53.:15:55.

Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:15:56.:15:59.

It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers.

:16:00.:16:03.

And if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it

:16:04.:16:06.

Palin, I hope you will come back thank you for joining us. Martin,

:16:07.:16:14.

thank you for joining us as ever. Coming up next, the weather.

:16:15.:16:15.
