0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

0:00:24 > 0:00:25bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27With me are the former Trade Minister, Lord Digby Jones,

0:00:27 > 0:00:31and the Broadcaster and Campaigner, Henry Bonsu.

0:00:31 > 0:00:38Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Tomorrow's front pages, starting with

0:00:39 > 0:00:42The Metro which leads on the news that the FBI was tipped off

0:00:42 > 0:00:48about the Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz - months before

0:00:48 > 0:00:50the teenager carried out one of America's

0:00:50 > 0:00:51deadliest school attacks.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53That story is also covered by the Independent which carries

0:00:53 > 0:00:58pictures of most of the 17 victims who were mainly teenagers.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01The Mirror says police investigating football coach Barry Bennell -

0:01:01 > 0:01:04who was convicted of abusing boys in his care asked Gary Speed

0:01:04 > 0:01:06if he was a victim.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10The Telegraph leads on report which suggests that young

0:01:10 > 0:01:12professionals are half as likely to be home owners as

0:01:12 > 0:01:14they were 20 years ago.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16The I focuses on a warning that many household chemicals

0:01:16 > 0:01:19are a risk to health.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Scientists say cleaning products, cosmetics and perfumes are releasing

0:01:21 > 0:01:26harmful particles into air.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29The Times reports that thousands more prisoners are to be released

0:01:29 > 0:01:31early under a government drive to relieve pressure

0:01:31 > 0:01:35on overcrowded jails.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38And the Daily Express carries the story that eating two yoghurts

0:01:38 > 0:01:40a week could significantly reduce the chances of having

0:01:40 > 0:01:44a heart attack.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56That is a quick run through of the newspaper front pages. The Florida

0:01:56 > 0:02:04shooting dominating, and a striking picture on the front of the

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Telegraph and raising yet again, we say this every time, the question of

0:02:08 > 0:02:14gun control. They think anything will change?It raises the question

0:02:14 > 0:02:18of gun control in the minds of people who have lost loved ones, in

0:02:18 > 0:02:21the minds of those usually on the left in the United States, the

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Democrats, but not in the minds of those who are paid by the National

0:02:25 > 0:02:31Rifle Association and the gun lobby, nor in the mind of President Trump

0:02:31 > 0:02:39who has treated and said, people of America are you should not be scared

0:02:39 > 0:02:43going to school, and there are people there to protect you, and

0:02:43 > 0:02:45everything apart from introducing background checks which would make

0:02:45 > 0:02:49it more difficult fight and alienate a teenager to get his hands only of

0:02:49 > 0:02:57war. If Sandy Hook wasn't able to move the dial in 2012, and it is a

0:02:57 > 0:03:02great shame and says a lot about modern America.President Trump's

0:03:02 > 0:03:06remarks didn't mention gun control at all and you talked about mental

0:03:06 > 0:03:10health, and he is a big supporter of the NRA and the gun lobby in the

0:03:10 > 0:03:19United States, and it is a big supporter of him.The Telegraph,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21this headline about the grieving parent and it says a nation mourns

0:03:21 > 0:03:29again.From our point of view, how many more times? If Sandy Hook

0:03:29 > 0:03:35doesn't move the dial what is going to? If you have a president who

0:03:35 > 0:03:38doesn't talk about the fact that this mentally deranged people walks

0:03:38 > 0:03:43into a place and kill 17 people with a gun, doesn't talk about, he

0:03:43 > 0:03:46wouldn't have done that if he doesn't have a time, he would still

0:03:46 > 0:03:50be mentally deranged but he couldn't use that as a channel to commit the

0:03:50 > 0:03:55atrocity, so you have to step back, but in the psyche of America, this

0:03:55 > 0:04:04amendment was brought into the constitution.7091.To protect

0:04:04 > 0:04:12people in lonely places from marauding gangs. -- 1791. When you

0:04:12 > 0:04:15think a young person, a teenager in America, the chances of being being

0:04:15 > 0:04:23killed by a gun is tens of thousands more likely than anywhere in Europe.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27We are going to be seeing this again and again and again and that is

0:04:27 > 0:04:36disgusting.In the Guardian, the front page we have to say the

0:04:36 > 0:04:41alleged gunman, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz appearing in court accused of

0:04:41 > 0:04:4617 premeditated murders, but a lot of questions about the FBI and

0:04:46 > 0:04:49whether they will told in advance, whether they knew in advance and

0:04:49 > 0:04:52could have done something because he was putting out stuff on social

0:04:52 > 0:05:00media.How much stuff that he put out and how clearly was marked? I

0:05:00 > 0:05:04understand that he made a comment in response to a video that was posted

0:05:04 > 0:05:08on YouTube and the FBI came and interviewed the person who posted

0:05:08 > 0:05:12the video but weren't able to trace it to this young man. We found out

0:05:12 > 0:05:16quite a bit about him. He was linked to a far right white supremacist

0:05:16 > 0:05:24group. He had said a lot of things which alarmed the youngsters he went

0:05:24 > 0:05:27to school with before he was expelled, you know the said person

0:05:27 > 0:05:32most likely... He was said person most likely to shoot up the school

0:05:32 > 0:05:36thought was an open secret and still nothing was said.And looking at the

0:05:36 > 0:05:44treatment of this FBI in the papers, it is not true. They knew it was

0:05:44 > 0:05:51posted but couldn't trace it to him. Headlines are not always accurate.

0:05:51 > 0:05:58Let's move onto one of the big stories at home, Barry Bennell, and

0:05:58 > 0:06:02this is dominating some of the front pages, the Times, football clubs

0:06:02 > 0:06:07facing multi-million pound claims over sex abuse will stop notorious

0:06:07 > 0:06:13now, 64 years old and just been convicted of 43 sex offences against

0:06:13 > 0:06:2111 boys as young as eight.A very specific period, and that is often

0:06:21 > 0:06:24the case when somebody becomes notorious, other people who have

0:06:24 > 0:06:30kept quiet for a long time come forward. Police have disclosed that

0:06:30 > 0:06:32a further 86 people have come forward with allegations and they

0:06:32 > 0:06:37will follow all these up seriously. He is now suspected of being one of

0:06:37 > 0:06:43Britain's's most suspected paedophiles. Lawyers say that

0:06:43 > 0:06:48compensation claims could reach more than £250,000 per person because

0:06:48 > 0:06:52many of these people were destroyed psychologically. They didn't fulfil

0:06:52 > 0:06:58their potential. They were abused, that is talk of being linked to

0:06:58 > 0:07:03suicide, no ending of this. Who knows where it could go.And if you

0:07:03 > 0:07:08follow that, the quest for damages, you need a deep pocket to sue, and

0:07:08 > 0:07:11if you think about it it won't be Barry Bennell who pays for this.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16When you see the front of the Guardian they take it one stage

0:07:16 > 0:07:20further and actually put Manchester City's name up in lights and said

0:07:20 > 0:07:23they are seriously implicated in this, were warned about his

0:07:23 > 0:07:28behaviour and still let him carry on.Let's just see the Guardian, the

0:07:28 > 0:07:34front page, Manchester City ignored warnings and kept serial abuser and

0:07:34 > 0:07:40the youth team setup. There are going to be more questions.There

0:07:40 > 0:07:44are questions that you see so often these victims, when they look for

0:07:44 > 0:07:48financial compensation, the pocket they have to go after those usually

0:07:48 > 0:07:55doing time in prison for that very thing. Here, they have got an

0:07:55 > 0:07:58absolute slam dunk very wealthy club who actually put this guy back in

0:07:58 > 0:08:04charge of children, having been warned, so I would suggest...It is

0:08:04 > 0:08:12when there is proof.One little well done this to a former Crewe

0:08:12 > 0:08:19Alexandra player, Steve Walters, where he waved his anonymity in 2016

0:08:19 > 0:08:25to come up and say this man abused me. That is staggeringly courageous,

0:08:25 > 0:08:28especially in this game of football where everyone is macho, I think it

0:08:28 > 0:08:35is amazing, and because of that others then said I was. I would say

0:08:35 > 0:08:41Steve Walters has done a lot of people some good and well done to

0:08:41 > 0:08:44him, because in the match football that is very difficult to start

0:08:44 > 0:08:50talking about it.And the more you read about Barry Bennell you realise

0:08:50 > 0:08:54how devious he was and it is a particular person who goes into a

0:08:54 > 0:09:00job where they have a petition of trust, the parents are very keen and

0:09:00 > 0:09:05hand over trust to a football club. They think they are being

0:09:05 > 0:09:08safeguarded, the same term used in relation to Oxfam, and there are

0:09:08 > 0:09:11certain types of devious people who go on to these professions because

0:09:11 > 0:09:16they know they have untrammelled access the children.Let's talk

0:09:16 > 0:09:19about housing because it is a story that in different ways is on a

0:09:19 > 0:09:27couple of the front pages, and the Telegraph runs it as its main story.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Middle-class millennial is priced out of housing and young

0:09:29 > 0:09:33professionals half as likely to be homeowners as 20 years ago. Is that

0:09:33 > 0:09:40the to you?What it doesn't do is ask why.What do you think is the

0:09:40 > 0:09:46reason why?That is factual analysis. Some of it is going to be

0:09:46 > 0:09:49because in south-east England house prices have increased at a rate way

0:09:49 > 0:09:55beyond wages ability to borrow the money to buy one, so good point,

0:09:55 > 0:09:59what an awful lot of other parts of Britain that is not the case, and

0:09:59 > 0:10:04the a lot of this will be because millennial is' choices and sense of

0:10:04 > 0:10:12priority, what they want to do has changed. What do they do? They go

0:10:12 > 0:10:15and have expensive stagnates in Las Vegas and weddings in the Caribbean

0:10:15 > 0:10:21and then say I can't afford a house. I am now millennial but I bought my

0:10:21 > 0:10:25first property in 1983 on the deposit they had to put down was

0:10:25 > 0:10:33£2600 and that was in zone to London. I am from Manchester, let me

0:10:33 > 0:10:38land. The same person who wants to buy a two-bedroom flat in London now

0:10:38 > 0:10:46will have today is around a bit £80,000. They will have two be

0:10:46 > 0:10:54earning £80,000 a year.Go up the M1 and it is not the same.I know it is

0:10:54 > 0:10:58not the same in Birmingham Manchester a, but the thing is if

0:10:58 > 0:11:02you have left in London all your life or you live in the south-east

0:11:02 > 0:11:07and your job is your...I am agreeing with you, I am merely

0:11:07 > 0:11:10saying north of their people have different priorities to that which

0:11:10 > 0:11:14would lead you to buying a house or need to buy a house and one of the

0:11:14 > 0:11:18reasons as they accept renting as a way forward if they can do other

0:11:18 > 0:11:26things. Come on!We have got to move on, you can be here all night as you

0:11:26 > 0:11:32usually are arguing about things. Household products. Revealed as a

0:11:32 > 0:11:37major cause of pollution.The word household is misleading because yes

0:11:37 > 0:11:42it is the stuff that you put down the toil and so on but here the

0:11:42 > 0:11:45article is talking about shampoo, talking about deodorant. Is personal

0:11:45 > 0:11:52products. Household gives you the connotation of stuff you clean the

0:11:52 > 0:11:56house work and this is stuff you use on the body and it is the healing of

0:11:56 > 0:12:01it and the particular its in the ear that get into your body and lungs

0:12:01 > 0:12:07and do damage.This is the kind of problem that is on the links that

0:12:07 > 0:12:10are usually sent to me and I would think it is fake news, this is not

0:12:10 > 0:12:18the kind of guy I am. Maybe it is meant for a big day. But this is an

0:12:18 > 0:12:21everyday product and if we are trying to eradicate these I am not

0:12:21 > 0:12:26sure how we would replace them. Maybe someone will come up with

0:12:26 > 0:12:29non-harmful particles but these are embedded into our way of life just

0:12:29 > 0:12:37as processed food is.Very quickly I will ask you about South Africa.

0:12:39 > 0:12:46Jacob Zuma is gone and the new president, are you optimistic? A new

0:12:46 > 0:12:53dawn?Has to be, a new dawn for the rainbow nation but I wish people

0:12:53 > 0:12:55would stop seeing everything went downhill after 1994 because

0:12:55 > 0:13:00everything was worse under apartheid.I am privileged to have

0:13:00 > 0:13:06met all three presidents of South Africa in office and the quality of

0:13:06 > 0:13:10governance and leadership and inspiration declined in that time.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13He is right that compared with what it is like under apartheid that is

0:13:13 > 0:13:19all better.But will it improve going ahead?It won't get any worse.

0:13:19 > 0:13:25We are already seeing bounces and all the economic indicators.The

0:13:25 > 0:13:29country's standing bubble up in the world.He is a very skilled

0:13:29 > 0:13:35negotiator.And he has been around a long time. He knows how to play the

0:13:35 > 0:13:41international market.He does and people will be optimistic.He wants

0:13:41 > 0:13:45to get the economy going and has to get business and investment.He

0:13:45 > 0:13:49knows he is only in power now because of the failures of Jacob

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Zuma and he knows he will be judged not just on the economy but on

0:13:52 > 0:13:56dealing with corruption.Great to have both with us even if you argue

0:13:56 > 0:14:10a lot. But we never talked about Brexit.That is a first for us!

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Henry and Digby, thank
