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. |
