0:00:00 > 0:00:02for now. -- but from us it is goodbye for now.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

0:00:19 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23With me are Martin Lipton, Deputy Sports Editor at The Sun,

0:00:23 > 0:00:25and Benedicte Paviote, correspondent with France 24 and President

0:00:25 > 0:00:34of the Foreign Press Association.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Welcome to you both. Lovely to have you here.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41The FT Weekend leads with a deepening rift between the US

0:00:41 > 0:00:46and EU over steel tariffs and proposed changes to digital tax.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48The Daily Mirror says police are investigating 12 new claims

0:00:48 > 0:00:53of child sex abuse carried out by gangs in Telford.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56The I has more on the launch of a murder inquiry after the death

0:00:56 > 0:00:58of a Russian exile in London.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59The Telegraph also has that story.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01It says Nikolai Glushkov was found strangled to death

0:01:01 > 0:01:05in his own home.

0:01:05 > 0:01:12The Express reports on comments made by Prince Harry over defence cuts.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17During a visit to the Army air were a where he trained as a helicopter

0:01:17 > 0:01:18pilot.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20The Daily Mail has reaction from the foster parents

0:01:20 > 0:01:22of Ahmed Hassan after he was found guilty of trying to bomb

0:01:23 > 0:01:24a train in London.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26The Times reports on a second sex scandal to hit Oxfam

0:01:26 > 0:01:28concerning the conduct of its staff in Haiti.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31So developments in the Russia story still making the front pages.

0:01:31 > 0:01:37Let's have a closer look.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42We begin with the eye. Murder inquiry after exiled Russian tycoon

0:01:42 > 0:01:47dies in London. He appears to have died from some compression to the

0:01:47 > 0:01:53neck, suggesting he would've strangled.Indeed. It is interesting

0:01:53 > 0:01:57because not just UK media but international media are reporting on

0:01:57 > 0:02:00this almost nonstop and the implications. Nobody knows quite

0:02:00 > 0:02:08where it's going to go. This is the death on Monday and in outside

0:02:08 > 0:02:13London. Interesting because a very great friend and business partner of

0:02:13 > 0:02:20Boris Berezovsky, himself found in 2013 in his bathroom on and Nikolai

0:02:20 > 0:02:24never believed that was a suicide. They were both prominent critics of

0:02:24 > 0:02:30Vladimir Putin, and of course it's important to underline that

0:02:30 > 0:02:33counterterrorism police are now investigating his death. On Monday

0:02:33 > 0:02:37we were clearly told that was not suspect and now as a result of a

0:02:37 > 0:02:41special postmortem this compression of the neck and of course let's

0:02:41 > 0:02:45remember there has been previous criticism made here in the UK by the

0:02:45 > 0:02:50media and others that there was not enough investigation that the police

0:02:50 > 0:02:55resources have not been big enough. 14 deaths now being investigated as

0:02:55 > 0:03:01a result of Amber Rudd's statement on Tuesday before the announcement

0:03:01 > 0:03:05of sanctions. A real ratcheting up, all of this, while we await the

0:03:05 > 0:03:10sanctions that eventually President Vladimir Putin is going to implement

0:03:10 > 0:03:17and announced.We believe they are coming, there may be some diplomatic

0:03:17 > 0:03:19tit-for-tat expulsions as well but it's just a matter of time according

0:03:19 > 0:03:23to Sergey Lavrov when he was speaking earlier in the day as well.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28They are saying no evidence at the moment with the poisonings in

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Salisbury which of course have dominated the news in the earlier

0:03:30 > 0:03:36part of the week. But of course it does bring our attention back to

0:03:36 > 0:03:40dissidents of Russians in exile in this country and there'll be many

0:03:40 > 0:03:46more we understand from commentators who will be fearful now.Yes. The

0:03:46 > 0:03:53other week, but that, but based on a book that was a documentary

0:03:53 > 0:03:57effectively, chronicling of Russian involvement worldwide. There are a

0:03:57 > 0:04:00lot of people who were at one point allies of the Kremlin who fell out

0:04:00 > 0:04:04with the Kremlin like this guy, Nikolai Glushkov for whatever

0:04:04 > 0:04:13reason. And I think there is no... There is a link between this

0:04:13 > 0:04:17apparent potential murderer and the incident in Salisbury. But the same

0:04:17 > 0:04:22guiding hand one fears may be behind both in terms of the Russian state

0:04:22 > 0:04:27does not like people who are rented -- renegades, who turned their back

0:04:27 > 0:04:30on mother Russia and what it's about. If you fall out in the court

0:04:30 > 0:04:35of King Vladimir you are in trouble. I have to declare an interest. I was

0:04:35 > 0:04:39supposed to be spending five weeks in Moscow this summer, is going to

0:04:39 > 0:04:46be a bundle of...Look at the travel advisory that's been updated. There

0:04:46 > 0:04:52is a real fear of there being anti-British sentiment and of course

0:04:52 > 0:04:56what is interesting is the next article we will look at.You tell us

0:04:56 > 0:05:03what it is.Boris Johnson in the FT, there is a statement that he made.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07The headline is something he blames a row with Moscow by claiming Putin

0:05:07 > 0:05:14ordered by poisonings. He's referring thereto the attempted

0:05:14 > 0:05:16murders is being treated now because they're both still alive yet

0:05:16 > 0:05:24fighting for their lives. What I think is interesting about this,

0:05:24 > 0:05:27certainly is the fact that Boris Johnson has really tried in that

0:05:27 > 0:05:32statement with the Polish minister next to him in a war bunker, which I

0:05:32 > 0:05:40think was quite interesting to differentiate the targeted

0:05:40 > 0:05:47motivated, the attempted murder, that target measured sanctions

0:05:47 > 0:05:48announced by Theresa May on Wednesday which we understand is the

0:05:48 > 0:05:54first phase, and the Russian people, that he does not want there to beat

0:05:54 > 0:05:59Russia phobia, and of course that's a very real fear. -- to be Russia

0:05:59 > 0:06:02phobia. I think it's interesting that Downing Street did not decline

0:06:02 > 0:06:08to comment on the wording of the foreign secretary and the FT here I

0:06:08 > 0:06:12think words it quite well when it says Britain had previously on the

0:06:12 > 0:06:17attached unspecified responsibility to Vladimir Putin and indeed when

0:06:17 > 0:06:21the Prime Minister was in Salisbury on her unannounced visit yesterday,

0:06:21 > 0:06:27she said it is tragic that Mr Putin has chosen to act in this way, but

0:06:27 > 0:06:32as the FT quite rightly point out, we are not sure if she was referring

0:06:32 > 0:06:38to the attack on the family or on Russia's responds verbally. Sergey

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Lavrov and others calling it fantasy, some theories in Moscow

0:06:40 > 0:06:46saying this is Britain that weakened by Brexit trying to distract.This

0:06:46 > 0:06:49is why its so interesting. We are used to diplomatic language being

0:06:49 > 0:06:56incredibly restrained, because we know that eight varies -- a can so

0:06:56 > 0:07:00very easily be ratcheted up. For Boris Johnson to have used this kind

0:07:00 > 0:07:04of language so specifically and targeted to Vladimir Putin is

0:07:04 > 0:07:08extremely fast extremely significant in diplomatic terms.Absolutely.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12There is the counterargument to this situation with regards to whether

0:07:12 > 0:07:19Putin was directly responsible for ordering this is maybe it is that

0:07:19 > 0:07:24who will rid me of this turbulent place? People take him at his word

0:07:24 > 0:07:29and his wish becomes their obligation almost. Here we have

0:07:29 > 0:07:32quite clearly the foreign secretary making it abundantly clear that in

0:07:32 > 0:07:37the view of the British government this was a direct act targeted by

0:07:37 > 0:07:43the Russian head of state. That is a very serious charge and allegation.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48From a foreign secretary.This is the official British government

0:07:48 > 0:07:52policy. To be fair I don't think too many people outside of the orbit of

0:07:52 > 0:07:57Jeremy Corbyn momentum and Nigel Farage rather bizarre bedfellows

0:07:57 > 0:08:00would necessarily take any issue with what Boris Johnson here has

0:08:00 > 0:08:03that. I think this would probably be one of those statements which the

0:08:03 > 0:08:07vast majority of people up and down the country here is active of their

0:08:07 > 0:08:12political perspective would agree with. It does seem that way, but the

0:08:12 > 0:08:16one thing you got to remember with Russia is if you are shaking sticks

0:08:16 > 0:08:23they've got the bigger stick, and therein lies... How far can Britain

0:08:23 > 0:08:28go with this very dangerous bear in the room?I want to, if I may add

0:08:28 > 0:08:32two words. Global support. The FT refers to that and that joint

0:08:32 > 0:08:36communique yesterday of Germany, the US and France is very important and

0:08:36 > 0:08:42of course what the government, ministers have been doing in the UN,

0:08:42 > 0:08:48British ambassador and the support of the US ambassador, that has all

0:08:48 > 0:08:53been extremely important at the UN and also Neto. And there are clearly

0:08:53 > 0:09:01more sanctions up Theresa May's sleep and also we will see what the

0:09:01 > 0:09:05global support -- sleeve. These are very good intention and words and

0:09:05 > 0:09:07beginning of actions, but let's see what the Russian response is. This

0:09:07 > 0:09:13could ratchet up so quickly.Let's look at the daily Mail. A betrayal

0:09:13 > 0:09:22beyond belief. This is following the trial of the man Essonne -- I'm

0:09:22 > 0:09:25guilty of attempted murder after setting up that device on the tube

0:09:25 > 0:09:30train at person screen. We now know that he was part of the prevent

0:09:30 > 0:09:37programme which is supposed to be... The radicalising people. Yes, the

0:09:37 > 0:09:41evidence that came out in court was that he told officials when he

0:09:41 > 0:09:45arrived in the UK two years ago that he had been kidnapped by Isis and

0:09:45 > 0:09:50trained to kill by them. Even claimed in court that actually it

0:09:50 > 0:09:55was a fabrication he concocted to persuade them that he needed to be

0:09:55 > 0:10:03given asylum. The issue here is what messages were passed on to the home

0:10:03 > 0:10:11office, the police, to the security services about this man who quite

0:10:11 > 0:10:15clearly, and a guilty verdict of the court which did not take very long,

0:10:15 > 0:10:20there is with judgement, he was planning mass murder. It's as simple

0:10:20 > 0:10:29as that. He put a bomb on a train which was a commuter train in

0:10:29 > 0:10:34rush-hour with as I know young children going to school, people

0:10:34 > 0:10:39going to work, indiscriminate murder it was on his mind. And he somehow

0:10:39 > 0:10:44slipped through the net. It's a legitimate question, you hear that

0:10:44 > 0:10:49his foster parents knew nothing. These are foster parents who had

0:10:49 > 0:10:53taken in dozens and dozens of children over the years.Here they

0:10:53 > 0:10:58are asking for donations because they must be devastated. That bomb

0:10:58 > 0:11:02was made in their kitchen -- they are asking for explanations.They

0:11:02 > 0:11:05have this raid Saturday morning at their house and they had no

0:11:05 > 0:11:08understanding what was going on. Armed police turning up at your

0:11:08 > 0:11:13front door.He was busy at Dover about to be arrested unbeknownst to

0:11:13 > 0:11:16him and the foster parents were in the house and the police did not

0:11:16 > 0:11:19know so they went the full scale of getting mornings outside. There he

0:11:19 > 0:11:26scary.--very scary.It raises a lot of questions about the merits

0:11:26 > 0:11:29and pitfalls of the prevent programme, but as many commentators

0:11:29 > 0:11:34have said to us tonight it requires that individual to want to change,

0:11:34 > 0:11:40to want to turn away from whatever attempts to brainwash them and be

0:11:40 > 0:11:44neighborly them have gone ahead. We are struggling a little bit, let me

0:11:44 > 0:11:47tell you. The reason you are looking at me rather than our gorgeous cast

0:11:47 > 0:11:51is that both of the screens are playing up and is not very nice for

0:11:51 > 0:11:55you to look at I'm afraid. Sorry about that. Try not to look at it

0:11:55 > 0:11:59too much. I will stick to the neighbours if we can. If I could

0:11:59 > 0:12:04check the timing from you in the gallery. Seven minutes, OK. Let's

0:12:04 > 0:12:11move on and look at the express. Page number two. We will not check

0:12:11 > 0:12:15the Lloris at Dover says Grayling. This will come as a bit of a shock

0:12:15 > 0:12:20to the EU 27 that that after Brexit, just come in, go out. There'll be no

0:12:20 > 0:12:28text.--there'll be no checks.This is extraordinary. I watched your

0:12:28 > 0:12:33earlier interview.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37It seems that the transport Secretary Chris Grayling have said

0:12:37 > 0:12:42that we do not check the Lloris now, we will not check them in Dover in

0:12:42 > 0:12:45the future. I'm clear it cannot happen. We will maintain a

0:12:45 > 0:12:50free-flowing border at Dover. That sounds like an invitation to put

0:12:50 > 0:12:53anything on the loris. You don't just have nice people watching

0:12:53 > 0:12:57television. What happened to take back control. This is quite

0:12:57 > 0:13:01extraordinary. Is he saying this is just from the British side which I

0:13:01 > 0:13:06think is what he's saying, because on the French side, this is the

0:13:06 > 0:13:11beginning of the rest of the EE you and the point is once you are in the

0:13:11 > 0:13:17EU and that is which occurs many things Britain was not in, the euro,

0:13:17 > 0:13:22Britain is not in. Once the problem the French will have to carry these

0:13:22 > 0:13:33checks out. That has an economic impact, and it's incredibly complex

0:13:33 > 0:13:37to set up.Politically when it looked like it is France's problem

0:13:37 > 0:13:44now. The mainland Europe's problem now.The thing is, something I read

0:13:44 > 0:13:47today and I believe it was confirmed by the Department of transport that

0:13:47 > 0:13:53it would appear that post Brexit British driving licenses will not be

0:13:53 > 0:13:58valid in the European Union and one presumes vice versa. Unless there is

0:13:58 > 0:14:03a special permit. If you cannot legally drive in the UK, if this

0:14:03 > 0:14:12does happen and come to pass, you will have to show that permit. is a

0:14:12 > 0:14:18border check. There'll have to be some of checking. -- some degree of

0:14:18 > 0:14:24checking.Someone said this is not true. There are checks, so I think

0:14:24 > 0:14:28that the Union for the people who do actually checked lorries are going

0:14:28 > 0:14:31you don't even know what's going on at the border and you are the

0:14:31 > 0:14:37transport secretary. Actually this shows the huge complexity of this

0:14:37 > 0:14:41and as for the frictionless border on Northern Ireland, that ain't

0:14:41 > 0:14:47over.No, it is not. The daily telegraph older workers face a tax

0:14:47 > 0:14:53hikes to boost NHS funding. Is this a bit of a retread of their old

0:14:53 > 0:14:59national insurance increased which were moved in and dropped?This

0:14:59 > 0:15:02morning I read this addition there would be a 1% potential increase in

0:15:02 > 0:15:06the national insurance to pay for extra spending in the health

0:15:06 > 0:15:11service. Clearly there are different views within cabinet because this is

0:15:11 > 0:15:16another proposal suggesting that the burden of this extra money should

0:15:16 > 0:15:18come from older workers, particularly it says here pensioners

0:15:18 > 0:15:25working past 65. They should not have to pay, contributions,

0:15:25 > 0:15:31obviously they don't at this juncture. And it will raise £2

0:15:31 > 0:15:37billion per year. Of course the Brexit argument about 350 million

0:15:37 > 0:15:39per week which obviously we know they have shied away from even

0:15:39 > 0:15:46though it was on a very nice, shiny bus, is an expectation of many that

0:15:46 > 0:15:49voted for Brexit that there would be additional funding and there's this

0:15:49 > 0:15:52argument of how will we find this funding and you are the easiest

0:15:52 > 0:15:56target? The older, more wealthy workers. They thought that was a

0:15:56 > 0:16:00brilliant idea when he came to think in the social cost that is in the

0:16:00 > 0:16:04manifesto. That was a disaster.It will not be long before someone

0:16:04 > 0:16:08claims age discrimination if they go ahead with this.Absolutely. That is

0:16:08 > 0:16:13not sound like a viable plan, plus if one looks at the average age of a

0:16:13 > 0:16:17conservative voter, talk about shooting yourself in the foot.That

0:16:17 > 0:16:22was the problem last time.The manifesto is the same.Staying with

0:16:22 > 0:16:25the telegraph, let's look at a photo on the front page, strong and cradle

0:16:25 > 0:16:33it says. Theresa May holding a baby. Which used to be standard fare for

0:16:33 > 0:16:37politicians around election time but I don't remember seeing Theresa

0:16:37 > 0:16:42May...Because as Andrea Leadsom rather carelessly shall we say put

0:16:42 > 0:16:46out, Theresa May has not had children of her own so therefore she

0:16:46 > 0:16:50is the age of having grandchildren and she has not got them for that

0:16:50 > 0:16:54very reason so it's an image we have not seen at any point before. Maybe

0:16:54 > 0:16:57we happen to us on secretary but I cannot remember because it was not

0:16:57 > 0:17:06literally then so you are not looking for it.A lovely picture.

0:17:06 > 0:17:11The baby is only six days old, a fine head of hair for a tiny baby.

0:17:11 > 0:17:17That is one for the family album, taking in walking them. Very sweet.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22Quite extraordinary when you think Sharon national Security Council on

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Monday for two hours, going to the house making a statement and

0:17:24 > 0:17:31answering questions, Tuesday ultimatum for the Russians, all that

0:17:31 > 0:17:35planning, Wednesday morning another one hour or more with the Attorney

0:17:35 > 0:17:38General, defence minister, foreign Secretary, all of that going on, go

0:17:38 > 0:17:44back to the not sanctions, unannounced visit to Salisbury,

0:17:44 > 0:17:48quite extraordinary.This is a tonic, holding a baby.I think so.

0:17:48 > 0:17:59She was genuinely engaged.Returning to the jam on cream debate. The

0:17:59 > 0:18:06Queen settled in for us. How so?I think there are two scones, some

0:18:06 > 0:18:14people say...Gronk.I don't know. I have to admit, maybe from my Irish

0:18:14 > 0:18:22grandmother, I put the cream, sacrilege...Wrong, wrong, wrong.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Will you tell us which way? She does not look like she is improving. It

0:18:26 > 0:18:31looks like a Photoshop picture.I clearly have blue blood somewhere in

0:18:31 > 0:18:36my DNA because I like her Majesty appear to have preferred jam first

0:18:36 > 0:18:40then green. This appears to be officially the Royal way. We should

0:18:40 > 0:18:43all know this and take it to heart. Many are judging it Bia-Bi

0:18:43 > 0:18:46expression captured on this photograph. It looks like she is

0:18:46 > 0:18:52going with -- by the expression captured on the photograph. It

0:18:52 > 0:18:56looked like she likes the jam first and then the cream.Isn't there a

0:18:56 > 0:19:01saying something about liking doorjamb? It is probably your cake

0:19:01 > 0:19:05and eat it.It could be a French expression we are not familiar with.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Anyway the Queen settled it but it will not be settled. It will come

0:19:08 > 0:19:16back again to that age-old question.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Andrew on Twitter wondered how far Martin's conveyer belt of papers

0:19:19 > 0:19:25would reach tonight. I will start marking it like a long jump pit. I

0:19:25 > 0:19:30think that if a record.That is pretty impressive.Benedict brought

0:19:30 > 0:19:37chocolate for us tonight so she went. -- so she wins.
