0:02:32 > 0:02:33Before the papers, sport.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35And for a full round up, from the BBC Sport Centre,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37here's JJ Chalmers.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Hello, good morning.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Kyle Edmund has powered into his first Grand Slam quarter-final.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45He's beaten Italy's Andreas Seppi at the Australian Open.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48The British number two recovered from a slow start to win

0:02:48 > 0:02:50in four sets in Melbourne.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Edmund trailed by a set and a break at one stage, but cut down

0:02:57 > 0:02:59the errors to secure his place in the last eight.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01He'll face Australian Nick Kyrgios or Grigor Dimitrov of

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Bulgaria on Tuesday.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07England's cricketers have given themselves a good chance

0:03:07 > 0:03:12of clinching their one day series against Australia.

0:03:12 > 0:03:19England posted 302 from their 50 overs after being put into bat.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22They made a slow start, and when Moeen Ali was out

0:03:22 > 0:03:27they were 189-6 in the 39th over.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes repaired the damage.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Woakes made an unbeaten 50 and Buttler reached a century off

0:03:32 > 0:03:38the last ball of the innings.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41A few moments ago Australia were 158-3 in the 30th over.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Alexis Sanchez is on the verge of joining Manchester United

0:03:44 > 0:03:46from Arsenal, after United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan agreed

0:03:46 > 0:03:50to be part of a direct swap.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53The players will both have their medicals today.

0:03:53 > 0:04:00Mkhitaryan's paperwork for his transfer was completed yesterday.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02The length of the Armenian's contract at Arsenal,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05and his salary, is undisclosed.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Sanchez missed Arsenal's 4-1 win over Crystal Palace

0:04:07 > 0:04:10because he was travelling to Manchester.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15The Premier League paid tribute to Cyrille Regis,

0:04:15 > 0:04:18with fans across the country taking time to remember the former England

0:04:18 > 0:04:20striker, who died last week.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22On the field, there were few surprises with those fighting

0:04:22 > 0:04:26for a top four finish all winning, as Drew Savage reports.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Before the action, time for reflection.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Football took a minute to celebrate the life of West Brom,

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Coventry and and England striker Cyrille Regis, who died this

0:04:36 > 0:04:39week at the age of 59.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42And then, business as usual.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Manchester City took another step towards the Premier League title.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Record scorer Sergio Aguero was at it again -

0:04:48 > 0:04:52his 11th hat-trick for City.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Last week's defeat at Liverpool, a distant memory.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Newcastle United on the receiving end, beaten 3-1.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00It is so important because we need goals and we score in the past,

0:05:00 > 0:05:05in the present and we will score in the future.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10It was an important finish.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13So City are still 12 points ahead of Manchester United,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15who ground out a 1-0 win at Burnley.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17They only had two shots on target, Romelo Lukaku put

0:05:17 > 0:05:18in the hard yards...

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Anthony Martial put it away.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23That keeps Jose Mourinho's side in second place,

0:05:23 > 0:05:24three points ahead of Chelsea.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27They'd started 2018 with five draws and struggled for goals.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31At Brighton, that was no longer a problem.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33COMMENTATOR:Willian.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34There's a lovely flow about Chelsea here.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's absolutely sensational, what a wonderful goal!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42A great afternoon for Eden Hazard, as well as playing his part

0:05:42 > 0:05:44in Willian's goal, he scored two himself and made this

0:05:44 > 0:05:46young man's day.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Arsenal reacted to last week's defeat to Bournemouth

0:05:48 > 0:05:51by destroying Crystal Palace 4-1.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53All their goals came in the first 22 minutes,

0:05:53 > 0:05:58although they are still some way off the Champions League places.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00And Stoke City responded to new manager Paul Lambert

0:06:00 > 0:06:02with their first win for nearly a month.

0:06:02 > 0:06:042-0 against Huddersfield, which means they're out

0:06:04 > 0:06:07of the relegation zone.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Elsewhere, Leicester are up to seventh after beating Watford.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Everton versus West Brom and West Ham versus Bournemouth

0:06:15 > 0:06:19both finished 1-1.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Southampton host Spurs at 4pm this afternoon.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Celtic cruised into the Scottish Cup fifth round with a 5-0

0:06:26 > 0:06:28thrashing of Brechin City.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30The Scottish Premiership champions have had a three-week winter break,

0:06:30 > 0:06:34and looked refreshed at Celtic Park.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Brendan Rodgers fielded a strong team, despite his opponents

0:06:38 > 0:06:40currently sitting bottom of Scottish football's second tier,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43without a league win all season.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Saracens are still in with a chance of retaining their Champions Cup

0:06:50 > 0:06:53trophy, after beating Northampton Saints 62-14.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56The defending champions had to win against Saint to have a chance

0:06:56 > 0:06:59of making the quarter-finals.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01But, they still need other results to go their way today

0:07:01 > 0:07:05if they are to make the last eight.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Scarlets have no such worries.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10They beat Toulon to become the first Welsh side to qualify

0:07:10 > 0:07:11for the quarter finals since 2012.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15Bath and Ospreys are out, though.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22There will be a new name on the Masters trophy this evening

0:07:22 > 0:07:23with Mark Allen taking on Kyren Wilson.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27Neither player has reached this stage before.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Allen knocked out two-time winner John Higgins in his semi-final,

0:07:29 > 0:07:33having already beaten Ronnie O'Sullivan.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Wilson defeated world number three Judd Trump

0:07:35 > 0:07:40to make his first Masters final.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43England won their opening match of the Netball Quad Series

0:07:43 > 0:07:45against New Zealand 64-57 at the Copper Box Arena

0:07:45 > 0:07:47in London last night.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51The match had to go to extra time after the score was level at 49

0:07:51 > 0:07:54points all at the end of regulation time.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's the fourth edition of the round robin format

0:07:56 > 0:07:57series between England, South Africa, New Zealand

0:07:57 > 0:08:00and Australia, with all the teams preparing for April's Commonwealth

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Games on the Gold Coast.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09History was made at Ascot yesterday as Un De So won

0:08:09 > 0:08:13the Clarence House Chase for a record third time.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15In testing conditions, jockey Paul Townend patiently

0:08:15 > 0:08:19guided the favourite home.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22It's the 8th grade one win for Un De So who's trained

0:08:22 > 0:08:25in Ireland by Wille Mullins.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28How's this for impressive driving...

0:08:28 > 0:08:32A mistake in heat one saw British Bobsleigh duo Meesha McNeill

0:08:32 > 0:08:37and Montell Douglas nearly come out of their sled at the final World Cup

0:08:37 > 0:08:39event, before the Winter Olympics, but thanks to McNeill's quick

0:08:39 > 0:08:46reactions the pair narrowly escaped crashing.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's all the sport for now.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Now on BBC News, The Papers.

0:09:05 > 0:09:11Hello and welcome to our look at today's Sunday morning papers.

0:09:11 > 0:09:19As usual a mixed bag of stories in today's editions -

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Which I will be reviewing

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Which I will be reviewing with our guests in the studio.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Politics, celebrity engagements and Donald Trump so let's take

0:09:28 > 0:09:30a closer look with my guests.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32With me are the journalist and author Lainy Malkanithe,

0:09:32 > 0:09:42and political commentator James Millar.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Starting off this morning's papers is The Times,

0:09:44 > 0:09:46which says allies of the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn are planning

0:09:46 > 0:09:48to deselect 50 moderate Labour MPs.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50The Telegraph leads with comments from the Foreign Secretary Boris

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Johnson, arguing the UK should welcome a visit from Donald Trump.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56The Sunday Express says more than a 100 Tory MPs will demand

0:09:56 > 0:09:59the Prime Minister ends free movement and leaves the single

0:09:59 > 0:10:02market as soon as the UK exits the EU in March next year.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07The Observer says the Prime Minister is to tackle pension abuse

0:10:07 > 0:10:09from greedy bosses who attempt to "line their own pockets"

0:10:09 > 0:10:14while failing to look after worker's pension schemes.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17And the Mail on Sunday leads with an investigation carried out

0:10:17 > 0:10:19by Channel 4 into three former Conservative cabinet ministers,

0:10:19 > 0:10:29in what the paper calls a "cash for Brexit" controversy.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35That is the papers in brief but let's talk about them in a lot more

0:10:35 > 0:10:40detail. Lainy, let's start with the Sunday Telegraph. They have Boris

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Johnson saying, stop moaning about Donald Trump coming to Britain on a

0:10:44 > 0:10:49visit, let's get him over here, we should welcome a visit from Donald

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Trump.I'm under the impression, unless I'm wrong, I thought there

0:10:53 > 0:10:58was a planned visit happening and then Donald Trump then said, I don't

0:10:58 > 0:11:03want to come.So it's not as the cancelled?Yes, I think that's the

0:11:03 > 0:11:09case. The US embassy which has been moved to South London, was pretty

0:11:09 > 0:11:12dismissive about that move to South London and said he won't come to cut

0:11:12 > 0:11:17the ribbon. So I'm not sure. Boris Johnson seems to want to continue

0:11:17 > 0:11:23really remind us of the special relationship, perhaps that is what

0:11:23 > 0:11:26is behind this, a reminder there is a so-called special relationship

0:11:26 > 0:11:31between the US and UK wants to remind us of that fact. But I wasn't

0:11:31 > 0:11:34under any impression an invitation was rescinded.I suppose he's having

0:11:34 > 0:11:39a go at the people that are saying they would protest against a Trump

0:11:39 > 0:11:44visit, making him feel unwelcome. He says Jeremy Corbyn for example is

0:11:44 > 0:11:56guilty of anti-Americanism and quotes and ignorant interest in the

0:11:56 > 0:12:01economic of this country.It is up to people if they want to protest,

0:12:01 > 0:12:05it's up to the individual. I do think this is about cementing the

0:12:05 > 0:12:12idea of the special relationship. He says this is the single most

0:12:12 > 0:12:15important economic relationship there is. I wonder about those other

0:12:15 > 0:12:18countries in the world, the nations of the Commonwealth for example,

0:12:18 > 0:12:21that Britain was supposed to be making new trade relationships

0:12:21 > 0:12:26within the light of Brexit. That seems to have been put on the back

0:12:26 > 0:12:32burner now.James, should we be more positive in rolling out the red

0:12:32 > 0:12:36carpet for Donald Trump and stop all these ideas of the protest if he

0:12:36 > 0:12:40comes customer I don't know about stopping the idea of a protest but

0:12:40 > 0:12:47there's a lot to say about a visit from Donald Trump, it would unite

0:12:47 > 0:12:55the nation.Not Boris Johnson. I suspect is trying to remind people

0:12:55 > 0:13:00about Boris Johnson... He came out in the week with his bridge to

0:13:00 > 0:13:04France idea, that presumably didn't get him enough attention so he's

0:13:04 > 0:13:07come out with, how can I get attention? Everyone pays attention

0:13:07 > 0:13:11when you talk about Donald Trump so I will talk about Donald Trump.Is

0:13:11 > 0:13:15it that simple? He's the Foreign Secretary, surely he's allowed to

0:13:15 > 0:13:18talk about relations with the United States.He is allowed to but why

0:13:18 > 0:13:24now? Perhaps there was a re-shuffle in which it was trying to make sure

0:13:24 > 0:13:28there was no obvious successor to her and safer position and in the

0:13:28 > 0:13:32last week Boris has come out with a bridge Defrance, which is a bit

0:13:32 > 0:13:34nuts, let's be honest, it's not going to happen. And now being

0:13:34 > 0:13:41controversial and saying we should welcome Trump.In the wake of

0:13:41 > 0:13:46Brexit, surely we do need trade deals with other countries, whatever

0:13:46 > 0:13:50you think of Brexit, the reality is we will need new trade relationships

0:13:50 > 0:13:53and the United States is hugely important, so therefore it's a

0:13:53 > 0:13:57pretty good reason to roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump.But he

0:13:57 > 0:14:02is not banned from coming to the UK, so he can come. If the suggestion

0:14:02 > 0:14:07is, is to make all those that wanted to protest about him and this

0:14:07 > 0:14:12uniting force you spoke about, protests on the streets, then that

0:14:12 > 0:14:16is the democratic right of the people of this country.But it is

0:14:16 > 0:14:20his right to say, make an welcome, stop talking about protests.Of

0:14:20 > 0:14:28course, exactly, but...He can come. No one is stopping him.There's a

0:14:28 > 0:14:31weird bit where it says the people that voted for Trump are not bad

0:14:31 > 0:14:36people, they are on the whole good and kindly people. I get that, you

0:14:36 > 0:14:39cannot demonise the millions that voted for Trump but people are going

0:14:39 > 0:14:43to protest, or who want to protest are also good and kindly people with

0:14:43 > 0:14:48Erin point of view.Everyone is good and kindly! Including new two, of

0:14:48 > 0:14:55course. Let's stick with America for a moment. The Observer on their

0:14:55 > 0:14:58front pages, the latest on the dysfunctionality, I suppose, of

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Washington and the fact that everything can just shut down

0:15:02 > 0:15:06because there's this deadlock on Capitol Hill and government services

0:15:06 > 0:15:10just shut down because they can't get a vote on the money, on

0:15:10 > 0:15:16government spending money.Yeah, I'm not sure it is dysfunction, at the

0:15:16 > 0:15:19risk of being controversial. It's the way the American system works,

0:15:19 > 0:15:22everyone has to work together to get through a deal.But that is not

0:15:22 > 0:15:28happening.That's not happening, that is the problem. The bizarre

0:15:28 > 0:15:31thing is we have a Republican president and Republicans

0:15:31 > 0:15:34controlling Congress and the Senate and still they can't agree to get a

0:15:34 > 0:15:39deal through, in terms of funding for various programmes that they

0:15:39 > 0:15:46need to agree on. It's a very weird system.We have had these shutdowns

0:15:46 > 0:15:49before in the United States but I don't think we have ever had it

0:15:49 > 0:15:52where it is the same party in control of the White House and

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Congress.I was surprised to hear the last time there was a shutdown

0:15:57 > 0:16:03was 2013. It doesn't seem that long ago. I was watching interviews on TV

0:16:03 > 0:16:07yesterday, comments from people in the US that are likely to suffer as

0:16:07 > 0:16:12a result of this shutdown, in other words they won't be being paid, they

0:16:12 > 0:16:15don't know if they can go into their jobs on Monday, what will they do

0:16:15 > 0:16:19instead? It was almost a very natural approach to this has

0:16:19 > 0:16:23happened before. If it was me, I'd be wondering how am I going to pay

0:16:23 > 0:16:25my mortgage question how will I afford to fill up the car with

0:16:25 > 0:16:29petrol, do you know what I mean? It seemed to be like a natural progress

0:16:29 > 0:16:33on, that this has happened before, only into thousands ten and will

0:16:33 > 0:16:39happen again. Yet it's quite shocking to read principal services

0:16:39 > 0:16:43that many honest, law-abiding people go and work in and will not be able

0:16:43 > 0:16:49to go to their jobs or be paid.OK. Let's come back to domestic events.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54The Observer from page has Theresa May saying she will find greedy

0:16:54 > 0:16:59bosses who betray their workers, in terms of pension schemes especially,

0:16:59 > 0:17:07in the wake of the Carillion disaster and BHS. A lot of examples

0:17:07 > 0:17:11where pensioners have suddenly seen their pension schemes apparently in

0:17:11 > 0:17:18jeopardy.It is interesting. This is a new look Observer, tabloid

0:17:18 > 0:17:22Observer and they have got the Prime Minister to write something for them

0:17:22 > 0:17:25which is topical and will concern a lot of people. A lot of us don't

0:17:25 > 0:17:29know if we will retire or what we will get when we retire, very

0:17:29 > 0:17:32different to the baby boomers who had their guaranteed pension. It is

0:17:32 > 0:17:38an issue that ticks a lot of boxes. The only problem is Theresa May has

0:17:38 > 0:17:43spoken about stuff like this before, putting workers on boards, working

0:17:43 > 0:17:49for the many and not the few, if you like and all this stuff. She spoken

0:17:49 > 0:17:52about it before and it hasn't happened yet. I just wonder...You

0:17:52 > 0:17:58are holding your breath.A lot of talk about a white paper and points

0:17:58 > 0:18:05being discovered for a White Paper. You feel may be potential owners

0:18:05 > 0:18:09feel betrayed by these big companies?It feels a bit like a

0:18:09 > 0:18:14White Paper or a new policy after the problem has happened. For a lot

0:18:14 > 0:18:19of people who have pensions and are coming up to receiving their

0:18:19 > 0:18:24pensions, it's a bit late in the day to say there are going to be tougher

0:18:24 > 0:18:27laws or sanctions or whatever, or that they will be keeping much more

0:18:27 > 0:18:33than I on this. Why aren't...There is a pensions regulator at the

0:18:33 > 0:18:37moment.In which case, is what has the pensions regulator been doing up

0:18:37 > 0:18:40until this point question mark that is a big question. We will have

0:18:40 > 0:18:44another layer of legislation or another layer of keeping an eye on

0:18:44 > 0:18:50it but for many people that has come too late. The idea that government

0:18:50 > 0:18:57is getting involved in the private aspects of the way in which we are

0:18:57 > 0:19:02governed, perhaps we need to go and look at that again and look at the

0:19:02 > 0:19:05issue of private partnerships.The Sunday Times, a continuing story of

0:19:05 > 0:19:11the Labour Party, really, and what they see as the drift to the left.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15Jeremy Corbyn allies looking to oust 50 Labour MPs. This is momentum

0:19:15 > 0:19:20really, isn't it?Funny old story this one. First few paragraphs are

0:19:20 > 0:19:25exactly that. About what is going on it in Westminster 's, rumours and it

0:19:25 > 0:19:31has been claimed that with momentum winning seats in the NEC, they will

0:19:31 > 0:19:36use that to put pressure on MPs they think are not quite on board with

0:19:36 > 0:19:41the left-wing agenda. Then there is a sort of gear changing to the story

0:19:41 > 0:19:45of Haringey, this north London borough where it looks like the

0:19:45 > 0:19:50candidate will probably win control in May. It is a really interesting

0:19:50 > 0:19:55story because it might turn out to be like in the 80s, one of these

0:19:55 > 0:20:02nutty councils that does all these properly left-wing things. But it

0:20:02 > 0:20:05might not, it might work out well. It was keeping an eye on. For

0:20:05 > 0:20:13example, worried about putting it as a splash of labour because it looks

0:20:13 > 0:20:18London centric.Do you think Labour is lifting to the left, Lainy, or

0:20:18 > 0:20:23momentum driving out moderates?I thought Labour was on the left

0:20:23 > 0:20:28rather than drifting into the left. Drifting to the hard left.I think

0:20:28 > 0:20:34the way this is written is quite sinister. There's this hit list that

0:20:34 > 0:20:42exists. But calling Hilary Benn of all people on a hit list... I don't

0:20:42 > 0:20:49want to pigeonhole people into being hard left but he doesn't strike me

0:20:49 > 0:20:52as the troublemakers of the Labour Party kind of things to buy a quick

0:20:52 > 0:20:56look at another story on the front page of the Sunday Times, a slightly

0:20:56 > 0:21:01lighter story.Michael Gove having a go at clock watching civil servants,

0:21:01 > 0:21:06doesn't think they are working hard enough it seems.Again, back to that

0:21:06 > 0:21:09re-shuffle on people trying to get some attention for the Michael Gove

0:21:09 > 0:21:12has a story on the front page. He reckons civil servants, not that

0:21:12 > 0:21:16they don't work hard enough, well he does think that, but they do their

0:21:16 > 0:21:21hours that is it. That apparently is wrong in Michael Gove's world. That

0:21:21 > 0:21:25seems entirely sensible. There is a brilliant exchange round the Cabinet

0:21:25 > 0:21:28table apparently, when Michael Gove went on a brand and complained about

0:21:28 > 0:21:34it the PM Riley replied, it's called flexible working, Michael, and we as

0:21:34 > 0:21:38a government support it. I think for a lot of people who do flexible

0:21:38 > 0:21:42working more might want to use flexible working in the future

0:21:42 > 0:21:47pleased to see the PM is on board with that.Lainy, an interesting

0:21:47 > 0:21:51story in the Sunday Telegraph about lipstick knives which are being

0:21:51 > 0:21:58advertised for sale on Instagram among other places.I found this...

0:21:58 > 0:22:03Given the level of knife crime that we are experiencing in particular, I

0:22:03 > 0:22:07don't want to say throughout the country but in London and in other

0:22:07 > 0:22:13cities, that... The called lipstick knives because they fit in your

0:22:13 > 0:22:18handbag, in stereotypical pink colours, there is a cat knife out

0:22:18 > 0:22:22there that you can slip into your handbag and it is very much geared

0:22:22 > 0:22:28towards a female market. I find it quite disturbing, this piece, that

0:22:28 > 0:22:34these are being advertised on Instagram and banned in the UK but

0:22:34 > 0:22:37being advertised on Instagram.Is the idea they are for self defence?

0:22:37 > 0:22:42Is that why they are being advertised?Not even the self

0:22:42 > 0:22:45defence, they are not going to be used at all. They are kind of like

0:22:45 > 0:22:48mementos of things you might just put on your windowsill. Somebody

0:22:48 > 0:22:51actually bought one for his wife, went to America and bought one for

0:22:51 > 0:22:55his wife and just thought, she just liked colourful things that

0:22:55 > 0:23:01sparkled. But I find it, as I said given the fact that there is knife

0:23:01 > 0:23:08crime, this level of knife crime and that these pocket knives are being

0:23:08 > 0:23:11advertised, which are illegal in this country, you can't buy it here,

0:23:11 > 0:23:13you can buy it on the Internet and that is a worrying thing.James

0:23:13 > 0:23:18Comey worried by that?I think this is because a bunch of the stories.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21They have pictures of the knives and they do look like lipsticks and you

0:23:21 > 0:23:28wonder why anybody would or need to have one, really. They are described

0:23:28 > 0:23:32as the mermaid, the fans of all rainbow, the rainbow blade and being

0:23:32 > 0:23:37pictured on Instagram with hashtags like girl power and like a girl.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42There is no goal power of carrying a knife. There is nothing nicer

0:23:42 > 0:23:47glamorous about it. But one of my concerns is the way it is covered.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52Because it's the papers, they focus on Instagram. I think the story

0:23:52 > 0:23:57stands up on its own about the knives but papers like to have a dig

0:23:57 > 0:24:01at social media because they are rivals.Let's end off with a nice

0:24:01 > 0:24:08story about Ed Sheeran, who is going to marry his schoolboy Crush

0:24:08 > 0:24:12according to the Sunday Times. This is a story in a lot of the papers

0:24:12 > 0:24:18today. Ed Sheeran getting married to a girl he knew at school.Very cute.

0:24:18 > 0:24:23Never dated her at school as I understand. They got together later

0:24:23 > 0:24:26on. He had an accident and she looked after him for a whole year.

0:24:26 > 0:24:34He talked about... What's the name, Cherry Seaborn, having looked after

0:24:34 > 0:24:39him every single day whilst he took time to recuperate. Love has

0:24:39 > 0:24:44blossomed. He is 26, she is 25, far too young to be getting married in

0:24:44 > 0:24:48my opinion but what do I know!What is the ideal age?These are young

0:24:48 > 0:24:56people. If they were my kids would I be saying, yet, get married.Wait a

0:24:56 > 0:25:02few years. James, are you happy?He is a divisive figure, Ed Sheeran. I

0:25:02 > 0:25:08think he can write a decent song, fair play to him. He's a modern pop

0:25:08 > 0:25:11star, marrying an accountant. Pop stars used to marry...There's

0:25:11 > 0:25:19nothing wrong with that!A cocaine fuelled supermodel... He's marrying

0:25:19 > 0:25:23an accountant, living up to his boring image.Good luck to him. I

0:25:23 > 0:25:26hope is not listening to those cruel comments. Paul

0:25:30 > 0:25:34for Ed Sheeran.And the cats are happy for them as well!That is it

0:25:34 > 0:25:38from the papers for today. Thank you both.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

0:25:41 > 0:25:44on the BBC News website.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47And if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it

0:25:47 > 0:25:49later on BBC iPlayer.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54Thanks again to my guest and we will see you soon. Bye-bye.
