0:00:00 > 0:00:02overs. You can listen to that much now. That is all. Coming up in a
0:00:02 > 0:00:05moment for you, The Papers.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Hello, welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us
0:00:21 > 0:00:29tomorrow. With me, the Political Editor of the Sunday express and an
0:00:29 > 0:00:33economics editor. We will talk Russians and chemicals and all
0:00:33 > 0:00:39sorts. A lot of fun to be had by all. The Metro reports chemical
0:00:39 > 0:00:42experts at Porton down waking to find out if the former Russian spy
0:00:42 > 0:00:49Sergei Skripal was poisoned. This is a picture of his daughter Yulia who
0:00:49 > 0:00:52is also critically ill. It says dignitaries including Prince William
0:00:52 > 0:00:56may not travel to Russia for the summer's football World Cup.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01The same angle on the story in the male, and could the Royals snubbed
0:01:01 > 0:01:03the World Cup? The Telegraph says President Putin
0:01:03 > 0:01:09swore revenge on those who took part in the 201050 macro, which included
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Sergei Skripal. The Sun says, what is your poison? And the Guardian
0:01:14 > 0:01:19leads on the same story, but gives over space to North Korea's apparent
0:01:19 > 0:01:23willingness to discuss getting rid of its nuclear Arsenal as part of
0:01:23 > 0:01:30direct talks with America. So a lot chew over, starting with the Metro.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Camilla, Porton Down poison probe, a lot of alliteration in that
0:01:35 > 0:01:40headline. That is the Metro for you! The key to this story is the
0:01:40 > 0:01:45toxicology report, when it comes out, and Porton Down are looking
0:01:45 > 0:01:51into what could have affected these people.The top-secret military
0:01:51 > 0:01:56facility in Wiltshire at the heart of this and people are making
0:01:56 > 0:01:59comparisons to Litvinenko, which was a radioactive substance and we'll
0:01:59 > 0:02:02concluded this morning when the bench where these two unfortunate
0:02:02 > 0:02:08people were found was not singled out or had a cordon around it and
0:02:08 > 0:02:13the hospital they tend it was not close down the radioactivity was
0:02:13 > 0:02:17instantly ruled out. So it begs the question, what is the modus operandi
0:02:17 > 0:02:22and the poison here? What substance have they ingested and where is it
0:02:22 > 0:02:26from? On the lips of everyone including the Foreign Secretary
0:02:26 > 0:02:31today.48 hours on, we are no clear but have had fighting talk from the
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Foreign Secretary and indeed from the Russian Embassy as well covered
0:02:35 > 0:02:43in lots of the papers.Not me, says the Kremlin and the Embassy here.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46They were taking the Michael out Boris, suggesting his statement was
0:02:46 > 0:02:52a little bit premature.Malign and disruptive with the words are
0:02:52 > 0:02:59reduced.They say, handgun, who are you accusing of this, mate? It is
0:02:59 > 0:03:04just a few days ago we went knocking on Siberia's daughter get gas when
0:03:04 > 0:03:08our gas supplies fell short of competing that after importing the
0:03:08 > 0:03:12beast of Siberia. A very delicate time to have these conversations but
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Boris clearly feels he has something he has to follow up on.Well, this
0:03:17 > 0:03:21is interesting. The Daily Express, Boris in threat to boycott World
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Cup, Putin warned of a claim he ordered poisoning of Russian double
0:03:24 > 0:03:30agent. A similar headline here, Britain's World Cup threat to
0:03:30 > 0:03:36Russia. Camilla, Boris Johnson as the Foreign Secretary, our leading
0:03:36 > 0:03:39diplomat around the world, a representative on the world stage,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43standing in the Commons to say if it is Russia, that is pretty century
0:03:43 > 0:03:47because it might not be Russia, so he must know something we do not
0:03:47 > 0:03:50know.We would hope that Foreign Secretary is well briefed on the
0:03:50 > 0:03:55detail around this. To be fair to Mr Johnson, there is a sense of the
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Foreign Secretary had to address this, it has been running across the
0:03:59 > 0:04:02newswires all day and there is a suspicion there may be another case
0:04:02 > 0:04:07of Russian poisoning on British soil, we need to know. But these
0:04:07 > 0:04:10might disagree, they have done an investigation pointing out before
0:04:10 > 0:04:15this happened, there have been 14 different poisoning or other
0:04:15 > 0:04:20incident involving people who have been enemies of the Kremlin and they
0:04:20 > 0:04:22have gone unreported and under investigated by the Home Office and
0:04:22 > 0:04:28authorities. -- macro two. This is high profile and has happened in
0:04:28 > 0:04:35public view in peach macro. There was a need for Boris to respond. His
0:04:35 > 0:04:38words were initially misconstrued and people thought he said the World
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Cup team would not be competing, he is talking about the delegation and
0:04:41 > 0:04:46that includes Prince William cup which could be diplomatically
0:04:46 > 0:04:49tricky.Hugely controversial, awarding Russia this World Cup. It
0:04:49 > 0:04:55was not something... To go further is very in century. Reading the
0:04:55 > 0:05:01words from the Russian embassy accusing written of the demonisation
0:05:01 > 0:05:05of Russia. So things getting very tense indeed. The Telegraph is also
0:05:05 > 0:05:10talking about some of the words Putin was said to have used.Sorry
0:05:10 > 0:05:13to interrupt, the headline on the front page of the Telegraph, Putin
0:05:13 > 0:05:23swore revenge on poisoned Russian spy. He said this in 2010. And this
0:05:23 > 0:05:29spy swap involves the man now in hospital, Mr Skripal. He was part of
0:05:29 > 0:05:34that and this was the first Russian swap ever, apparently.It was the
0:05:34 > 0:05:40first Russian swap ever and this is eight years later. But if you read
0:05:40 > 0:05:44the words of Mr Putin at the time of his release, he said, traitors will
0:05:44 > 0:05:48click the bucket, trust me, these people betrayed their friends, their
0:05:48 > 0:05:52brothers in arms. Whatever they got in exchange for it, those 30 pieces
0:05:52 > 0:05:57of silver they were given, they will choke on them.Quite extraordinary.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01The suggestion a delegation would not go to the World Cup, if it is
0:06:01 > 0:06:06clear that Russia was involved in this, and swilling cannot go now,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10can he?No, and it is interesting from perspective National Prince
0:06:10 > 0:06:15William. Royals need to remain neutral and not get involved in
0:06:15 > 0:06:19scandal. But as you pointed out, the World Cup bid was already drenched
0:06:19 > 0:06:26in scandal and Prince William talked about Sepp Blatter and his
0:06:26 > 0:06:29involvement at the time in corruption scandals. So it is
0:06:29 > 0:06:34tricky, but to be fair, on this, the Royals do take the advice from the
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Foreign and Commonwealth Office and with Boris at the helm, what he says
0:06:36 > 0:06:43has two apply.You alluded to this earlier about getting gas from
0:06:43 > 0:06:49Siberia. If Russia was involved in this, it is proved to be, and
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Britain needs to rally round its European partners for instance in
0:06:54 > 0:06:57order to get more sanctions placed on them, how much more difficult is
0:06:57 > 0:07:02that, bearing in mind we are leaving the European Union and the Germans
0:07:02 > 0:07:06and French get their oil from Russia.That is exactly it, it is
0:07:06 > 0:07:10the fact we are on this road where we have to put more pressure on
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Russia, there is already pressure and sanctions in some areas, but
0:07:15 > 0:07:18areas such as energy have largely been left alone because we know we
0:07:18 > 0:07:23do have a problem with energy supplies. Even more true if you are
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Germany. We have seen the pictures of Angela Merkel and Putin over the
0:07:27 > 0:07:30years looking more friendly that other political leaders and that is
0:07:30 > 0:07:35because Germany is so reliant on Russia. This is an incredibly tricky
0:07:35 > 0:07:38time underplaying the screws could be even trickier.There are
0:07:38 > 0:07:42countries in Europe that did not want tough sanctions put on Russia
0:07:42 > 0:07:48for putting their army into Crimea and is taking parts of that area and
0:07:48 > 0:07:52putting their troops into Ukraine. This is going to be very difficult
0:07:52 > 0:07:58indeed.Even if it is 14 and explained deaths that lay at the
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Kremlin's doors and who knows if that's true, we will have a hard
0:08:01 > 0:08:08time convincing the rest of Europe to back us up.It is not just Boris
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Johnson, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson warned about cyber
0:08:10 > 0:08:17attacks on our energies lies.He was widely ridiculed for that! Now Gavin
0:08:17 > 0:08:25Williamson is a saint! Perhaps! We shall see! We shall see. Financial
0:08:25 > 0:08:33Times, the Korean detente and Pyongyang hinting at the end of the
0:08:33 > 0:08:37nuclear arms push, what you make of that?I wonder if the Winter
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Olympics has played a part in this! Obviously there has been a meeting
0:08:41 > 0:08:44of the mines and talking about denuclearisation, Trump in the
0:08:44 > 0:08:48middle trying to take some credit for this new-found approach and a
0:08:48 > 0:08:54peace accord. You are saying what do I make of it? We said backstage,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58these momentous news events keep happening! They are great for copy,
0:08:58 > 0:09:03but it does leave journalists saying, where can I take this now?
0:09:03 > 0:09:10Some North Korea, they have spent the last 30, 40 years trying to get
0:09:10 > 0:09:13a viable nuclear weapon and now they are within inches of getting this
0:09:13 > 0:09:17weapon and they turn around and say, we are willing to give it up for
0:09:17 > 0:09:24security guarantees. Don't call me a cynic, and call me a cynic! I am not
0:09:24 > 0:09:29impressed!You think this is a double bluff?Something has not
0:09:29 > 0:09:35quite gone to plan for North Korea. Well, we had a great time in the
0:09:35 > 0:09:42Winter Olympics! It is interesting because if it is to do with the
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Winter Olympics, that could soften their minds. All that snow! And does
0:09:45 > 0:09:54it really matter whether we go to Moscow for the World Cup? Maybe it
0:09:54 > 0:10:00does, just to put the opposite position on it.If through the power
0:10:00 > 0:10:05of teamwork and having face-to-face meetings for the first time in a
0:10:05 > 0:10:08long time through the neutral motion of a global sporting event has had
0:10:08 > 0:10:14an impact on relations, I know we should be cynical and reserve
0:10:14 > 0:10:18judgment, but we should also say, OK, get on with that and we will
0:10:18 > 0:10:21support you as the rest of the world wants them to have peace between
0:10:21 > 0:10:28them and not to have Kim Jong-un blasting missiles into the sky!It
0:10:28 > 0:10:31is interesting President Trump trying to take credit when Mike
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Pence was refusing to have anything to do with the North Korean
0:10:34 > 0:10:40delegation at the Games.It is all about the tweets. Little rocket man
0:10:40 > 0:10:46has brought us to this!He is keeping his options open, the US is
0:10:46 > 0:10:51either -- willing to go hard in either direction! Thank you, Donald!
0:10:51 > 0:10:59Back to the Telegraph, a sad story concerning a former alumna of this
0:10:59 > 0:11:03parish, Bill Turnbull. And a man who has revealed that he is suffering
0:11:03 > 0:11:09from prostate cancer and it has spread to his bones. The story on
0:11:09 > 0:11:12the front of the Telegraph, prostate cancer screening fails to save
0:11:12 > 0:11:18lives.This is a study done in America. Into a test you can request
0:11:18 > 0:11:23from your GP. They say that it is not that good an indicator and it
0:11:23 > 0:11:27can instead make you more anxious about things that are not there or
0:11:27 > 0:11:30give you a false sense of security when things are wrong. Which is
0:11:30 > 0:11:36devastating news. Was something that you are saying does affect a lot of
0:11:36 > 0:11:40older men in particular and is something we have to get to grips
0:11:40 > 0:11:48with. The Cancer Research UK charity have funded the study and we were
0:11:48 > 0:11:51hoping for the opposite outcome but we have something saying, this test
0:11:51 > 0:11:56is not up to much.Cases like Bill's are important and he admitted he
0:11:56 > 0:12:01should have got it checked out sooner, four years in, there is a
0:12:01 > 0:12:05common thread to prostate cancer cases where men put off going to the
0:12:05 > 0:12:10doctors because it is an intimate area of the body and the symptoms
0:12:10 > 0:12:14can be embarrassing. So that is difficult. If this test tells us
0:12:14 > 0:12:18anything, you need to go and get checked out rather than blood tests
0:12:18 > 0:12:22if you have suspicions to have a full examination.The problem is
0:12:22 > 0:12:28those who do not have symptoms.I spoke to someone from Cancer UK
0:12:28 > 0:12:34today and she was saying that it is about the risks, the risk factors as
0:12:34 > 0:12:38to how you should look at this. If you are black for instance, you have
0:12:38 > 0:12:43a higher risk of contracting prostate cancer, if you are over 50
0:12:43 > 0:12:47and there is a history of the disease in your family. That should
0:12:47 > 0:12:50be the baseline from which you should proceed to decide whether you
0:12:50 > 0:12:57have the test or not. But the test is not fail-safe, no question about
0:12:57 > 0:13:02that, and it can suggest you have got it when you have not.Or it can
0:13:02 > 0:13:08miss it when you have.It is hit and miss, absolutely. We wish Bill well
0:13:08 > 0:13:17on that. We will end with the Telegraph and this cartoon. It will
0:13:17 > 0:13:25be there eventually. It says here, Brexit talks, it is good news and it
0:13:25 > 0:13:31has two characters leaving the talks and says, it is good news for our
0:13:31 > 0:13:35anti-obesity campaign, we will not be having our cake and we will not
0:13:35 > 0:13:39be eating it. That is certainly the suggestion from the European Union
0:13:39 > 0:13:44when it comes to Brexit. And it plays on Rush Johnson's famous
0:13:44 > 0:13:48suggestion that we would be able to leave the European Union and get
0:13:48 > 0:13:51everything we want.Although there has been a lot of talk not just from
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Boris Johnson also from Jeremy Corbyn wanting to be in the customs
0:13:56 > 0:14:01union and renationalise the railway which is apparently a European
0:14:01 > 0:14:05impossibility, ahead of Philip Hammond is doing his big speech. And
0:14:05 > 0:14:11now he is going to say, we need services because it accounts for 96
0:14:11 > 0:14:15billion pounds worth of exports.And that really is a bit amazing the
0:14:15 > 0:14:20idea of having your cake and eating it and across Europe, ministers
0:14:20 > 0:14:29already going, I don't think so!We will see what happens with that.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Camilla and Dharshini, many thanks. That is it for tonight and you can
0:14:31 > 0:14:36see the front pages online on the BBC News website seven days a week.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41And if you have missed the programme one evening, you can log into
0:14:41 > 0:14:46iPlayer so use it. Thank you Camilla and Dharshini and T4 watching,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50goodbye!
