0:00:00 > 0:00:01That's all the sport for now.
0:00:01 > 0:00:11Now on BBC News it's time for The Papers.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
0:00:18 > 0:00:20are bringing us today.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24With me are Katy Balls, political correspondent at The Spectator,
0:00:24 > 0:00:33and the journalist and broadcaster Shyama Perera.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's have a look at some of the front pages.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38The Observer leads on comments from a former head of the civil
0:00:38 > 0:00:41service, who makes a scathing comparison between some brexiteers
0:00:41 > 0:00:47and German nationalists between the world wars.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Theresa May will face a coup from cabinet brexiteers,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52if she persists with plans to remain in the customs union,
0:00:52 > 0:00:57according to the Sunday Times.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And more Brexit on the The Sunday Telegraph which says
0:01:00 > 0:01:04the Prime Minister is being urged to invoke the example
0:01:04 > 0:01:07of Margaret Thatcher and defy her chancellor over Brexit.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The Express accuses Jeremy Corbyn of environmental hypocrisy,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13claiming he left a diesel car waiting outside his house for 40
0:01:13 > 0:01:16minutes before getting in for a six mile trip to Westminster.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Meanwhile the Mirror has an image of the Health Secretary,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Jeremy Hunt, taking a nap in a hotel, which the paper claims
0:01:24 > 0:01:26was taken while thousands marched through London,
0:01:26 > 0:01:36calling for more NHS support.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44There we are, a snapshot of the newspaper front pages. Katy, let's
0:01:44 > 0:01:52kick off with Brexit, Brexit, Brexit on the front pages. Don't let
0:01:52 > 0:02:02Hammond ruin Brexit.I think it is an understatement to say tensions
0:02:02 > 0:02:07are running high over Brexit. We have the two big meetings next week.
0:02:07 > 0:02:19The Cabinet are meant to be thrashing out a position. I'd then
0:02:19 > 0:02:28think it's hugely surprising that Bernard Jenkins has said that the
0:02:28 > 0:02:39Chancellor is frustrating the process.
0:02:41 > 0:02:52The head of Waitrose...We are still quite away down the track and we are
0:02:52 > 0:02:56still trying to work out what kind of Brexit it is going to be. I
0:02:56 > 0:03:02suppose that is why we are getting all this arguing.We and it's
0:03:02 > 0:03:05interesting that Bernard Jenkins is the latest voice saying we should
0:03:05 > 0:03:11not be so vague, but an unknown source, a senior Brexiteer is quoted
0:03:11 > 0:03:17as saying in the piece that there are far more of us than there are
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Tory Remainers in the Commons and we are the ones who can pull the temple
0:03:21 > 0:03:26down. I found that confusing because I thought it was the temple of
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Brexit we are building and if it is going to be pulled down, what will
0:03:30 > 0:03:39we be left with?Maybe they are talking about the temple of Theresa
0:03:39 > 0:03:44May's government?If we are going to use the divine as a metaphor, the
0:03:44 > 0:03:48reason that they haven't been able to find a way forward is because
0:03:48 > 0:03:56someone on high wants to abandon the whole plan.Sticking with the temple
0:03:56 > 0:03:59metaphor, there are Brexiteers in the Sunday Times who want to create
0:03:59 > 0:04:10a new temple, I suppose. This is a dream number ten with Boris Johnson
0:04:10 > 0:04:16and Michael Gove.These are new tenants that can move into the
0:04:16 > 0:04:27temple if the current ones don't live unto it! A softer Brexit is
0:04:27 > 0:04:32being discussed, which would mean a customs union of some sort. If she
0:04:32 > 0:04:37does that, there is this idea that they will get rid of her and they
0:04:37 > 0:04:50will move in the three Brexiteers. Gove would be the deputy, but only
0:04:50 > 0:04:53if he remembers not to stab Boris Johnson in the back again. I don't
0:04:53 > 0:05:01think this is everyone's version of a dream.A nice picture of them as
0:05:01 > 0:05:11the three Musketeers, the three Brexiteers.We could have Boris made
0:05:11 > 0:05:23up, we saw that piece of Gary Oldman's make up. We could have a
0:05:23 > 0:05:31better representation.People talk about Theresa May's weakness. Is she
0:05:31 > 0:05:39staying put for now?I think she is. I think she is trying to get us to
0:05:39 > 0:05:43the next election without a decision, without a proper plan, so
0:05:43 > 0:05:51we are forced to go back to the country. I feel she has lost the
0:05:51 > 0:05:57appetite for it, but she is very good at keeping everybody sort of
0:05:57 > 0:06:01trailing behind, complaining, dreading the satchels in the sand,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05but they still do their homework and turn up at 9am the next morning.She
0:06:05 > 0:06:10is trying to keep this fragile coalition within her government
0:06:10 > 0:06:17together.The way she became to the Prime Minister is because she was a
0:06:17 > 0:06:24reluctant remain them. There is a point in this please which is
0:06:24 > 0:06:30basically if she were to go for a softer Brexit, and I think the
0:06:30 > 0:06:39Brexit camp at the moment being led by Jacob Rees Mogg, they are the
0:06:39 > 0:06:47type who would call for a confidence vote. Ultimately it will go above
0:06:47 > 0:07:12her.Last story on Brexit. This is Lord Turnbull.He is aligning the
0:07:12 > 0:07:22naysayers
0:07:22 > 0:07:27with the Nazis in Germany. He is saying the attacks on the Civil
0:07:27 > 0:07:34Service are, if you like, following a pattern, which ultimately led to
0:07:34 > 0:07:40national socialism. I suspect that might be overstating it, but when
0:07:40 > 0:07:43you look at what is happening in the rest of the world, perhaps it is
0:07:43 > 0:07:53not.Katy, what do you think about that?Once you compare tactics with
0:07:53 > 0:07:57anything with the word Nazi in it, you are into territory that is over
0:07:57 > 0:08:04the top. There is a growing problem between the Civil Service and the
0:08:04 > 0:08:19government we have seen that this week with Liz information. I don't
0:08:19 > 0:08:25regard this as helpful.It's making a hard job even harder. The Sunday
0:08:25 > 0:08:32Telegraph. Uma Thurman, Harvey Weinstein, more allegations that he
0:08:32 > 0:08:39allegedly attacked her as well. Shyama, this is something that she
0:08:39 > 0:08:46has hinted about before and now she has given chapter and verse about
0:08:46 > 0:08:53it.Yes, and the report she gives is very similar to others, he exposed
0:08:53 > 0:09:01himself, he jumped on her. Apparently she broke down in the
0:09:01 > 0:09:06middle of an interview when she was retelling the story. I'm curious
0:09:06 > 0:09:11about the timing. She could have set this up front. I don't know if it is
0:09:11 > 0:09:17strategic and she is doing it to keep the argument alive,. I'm not
0:09:17 > 0:09:21entirely sure what it adds to what we know. It's interesting to know
0:09:21 > 0:09:24that Uma Thurman was one of the victims. It shows that no one was
0:09:24 > 0:09:30about being attacked by Weinstein, assuming at this point that all
0:09:30 > 0:09:34these allegations have foundation. She says she feels bad for not
0:09:34 > 0:09:47protecting other women. I suppose different women feel differently
0:09:47 > 0:09:53about what they want a say in public regarding what happened to them.We
0:09:53 > 0:09:58had lots of leading actresses who have now, and spoken. They talk
0:09:58 > 0:10:04about the guilt, they should have used the position of power, but it
0:10:04 > 0:10:10tells you about his monopoly on the industry. Someone like Uma Thurman,
0:10:10 > 0:10:20or Angelina Jolie, they feel they can't say anything.These are
0:10:20 > 0:10:23isolated events and may be the subject just believes that it is
0:10:23 > 0:10:30only happen to them. It's only when someone else brings it up it starts
0:10:30 > 0:10:36to snowball.If these are all true, why is he currently just in therapy?
0:10:36 > 0:10:49It doesn't quite seem right.The Sunday express. We have a story
0:10:49 > 0:10:54about Jeremy Carbone. They say he uses a toxin pumping diesel car and
0:10:54 > 0:11:00leaves it on the yellow line for 40 minutes.Are you outraged by that?
0:11:00 > 0:11:07I'm quite low energy today and could not get that outraged. Lots of
0:11:07 > 0:11:17people see Jeremy Corbyn as this left-wing messiah, this saint. The
0:11:17 > 0:11:22fact he has taken this car which is diesel, it goes against his
0:11:22 > 0:11:29principles. It's interesting that they have come up with alternative
0:11:29 > 0:11:36routes for him to get to work.He can use the tube or the bus.Or
0:11:36 > 0:11:42cycle. But there are security issues.But they miss the main
0:11:42 > 0:11:47point. Apart from having described in great detail the spec of a Ford
0:11:47 > 0:11:53Galaxy, the car is actually provided by the government car service. So in
0:11:53 > 0:11:58fact it is not Jeremy Corbyn who is using it.It is not his decision.
0:11:58 > 0:12:05No, it is the government's. It is only being done for safety reasons
0:12:05 > 0:12:10because they decided he should not cycle into work any more because it
0:12:10 > 0:12:15was a security risk.Another personal story about a politician if
0:12:15 > 0:12:26you like is in the Sunday Mirror. Gerry Mahar nes having a nap. They
0:12:26 > 0:12:32are making something about how he was sleeping at a spa Hotel while
0:12:32 > 0:12:36NHS demonstrators were out on the streets demonstrating.I think this
0:12:36 > 0:12:43is slightly unfair. Whatever you may think of Jeremy Hunt, he has a fall
0:12:43 > 0:12:48asleep at his desk or in the Chamber. Maybe it is a sign that
0:12:48 > 0:12:52he's working very hard in his day job that by the time it gets to the
0:12:52 > 0:12:57weekend he can't stay awake. This is about NHS funding and if you speak
0:12:57 > 0:13:01to people in the party and in covenant, Jeremy Hunt is lobbying
0:13:01 > 0:13:08for more funding. It's not that he is going against them.I think it's
0:13:08 > 0:13:13unfair. So should he be allowed a little keep every now and again?Of
0:13:13 > 0:13:19course. He is probably exhausted. Maybe the mirror committee was
0:13:19 > 0:13:24watching the demonstration on BBC News. Maybe he fell asleep when he
0:13:24 > 0:13:32was watching it on BBC News.I doubt that very much. If he was watching
0:13:32 > 0:13:38cars would not fall asleep.It is the mirror of the Jeremy Carbone
0:13:38 > 0:13:45story. Just having a pop at someone. Let's end on an upbeat note. The
0:13:45 > 0:14:01Spice Girls are reuniting for a £50 million tour. Posh is going to sing
0:14:01 > 0:14:13and make even perform at Harry and Meghan's wedding.
0:14:16 > 0:14:23They are embodying global Britain. Girl power!Are you a big fan? I was
0:14:23 > 0:14:34a big fan. At school we used to pick one to be.Who were you?I was posh.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40But I think maybe posh is doing this because it is financial.If you
0:14:40 > 0:14:44enjoy singing, I saw them once at the O2 when they did the last
0:14:44 > 0:14:53reunion and she sang the least. She probably sign a couple of tiny solo
0:14:53 > 0:14:57bits, and the worst. Interestingly though the crowd went wild when she
0:14:57 > 0:15:03did something. The other four, not so much. She just opened her mouth
0:15:03 > 0:15:13and the crowd went wild.Would you go to the concerts now?Yes. I
0:15:13 > 0:15:18wouldn't batter my way to get the tickets...If someone offered you a
0:15:18 > 0:15:30free ticket?It depends.Good luck to the Spice Girls. As we said,
0:15:30 > 0:15:38global Britain in action. Thank you both. Great to have you with us.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39That's it for The Papers this morning.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online
0:15:42 > 0:15:43on the BBC News website.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45And if you miss the programme any
0:15:45 > 0:15:47evening, you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Thank you Shyama and Katy.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54Goodbye.
