for now. -- but from us it is
goodbye for now. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:02 | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead
to what the the papers will be | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
bringing us tomorrow. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
With me are Martin Lipton,
Deputy Sports Editor at The Sun, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
and Benedicte Paviote, correspondent
with France 24 and President | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
of the Foreign Press Association. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:34 | |
Welcome to you both. Lovely to have
you here. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Many of tomorrow's front
pages are already in. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
The FT Weekend leads
with a deepening rift between the US | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
and EU over steel tariffs
and proposed changes to digital tax. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
The Daily Mirror says police
are investigating 12 new claims | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
of child sex abuse carried out
by gangs in Telford. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
The I has more on the launch
of a murder inquiry after the death | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
of a Russian exile in London. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
The Telegraph also has that story. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
It says Nikolai Glushkov
was found strangled to death | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
in his own home. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
The Express reports on comments made
by Prince Harry over defence cuts. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:12 | |
During a visit to the Army air were
a where he trained as a helicopter | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
pilot. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
The Daily Mail has reaction
from the foster parents | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
of Ahmed Hassan after he was found
guilty of trying to bomb | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
a train in London. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
The Times reports on a second sex
scandal to hit Oxfam | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
concerning the conduct
of its staff in Haiti. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
So developments in the Russia story
still making the front pages. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Let's have a closer look. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:37 | |
We begin with the eye. Murder
inquiry after exiled Russian tycoon | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
dies in London. He appears to have
died from some compression to the | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
neck, suggesting he would've
strangled. Indeed. It is interesting | 0:01:47 | 0:01:53 | |
because not just UK media but
international media are reporting on | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
this almost nonstop and the
implications. Nobody knows quite | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
where it's going to go. This is the
death on Monday and in outside | 0:02:00 | 0:02:08 | |
London. Interesting because a very
great friend and business partner of | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
Boris Berezovsky, himself found in
2013 in his bathroom on and Nikolai | 0:02:13 | 0:02:20 | |
never believed that was a suicide.
They were both prominent critics of | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
Vladimir Putin, and of course it's
important to underline that | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
counterterrorism police are now
investigating his death. On Monday | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
we were clearly told that was not
suspect and now as a result of a | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
special postmortem this compression
of the neck and of course let's | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
remember there has been previous
criticism made here in the UK by the | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
media and others that there was not
enough investigation that the police | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
resources have not been big enough.
14 deaths now being investigated as | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
a result of Amber Rudd's statement
on Tuesday before the announcement | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
of sanctions. A real ratcheting up,
all of this, while we await the | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
sanctions that eventually President
Vladimir Putin is going to implement | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
and announced. We believe they are
coming, there may be some diplomatic | 0:03:10 | 0:03:17 | |
tit-for-tat expulsions as well but
it's just a matter of time according | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
to Sergey Lavrov when he was
speaking earlier in the day as well. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
They are saying no evidence at the
moment with the poisonings in | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
Salisbury which of course have
dominated the news in the earlier | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
part of the week. But of course it
does bring our attention back to | 0:03:30 | 0:03:36 | |
dissidents of Russians in exile in
this country and there'll be many | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
more we understand from commentators
who will be fearful now. Yes. The | 0:03:40 | 0:03:46 | |
other week, but that, but based on a
book that was a documentary | 0:03:46 | 0:03:53 | |
effectively, chronicling of Russian
involvement worldwide. There are a | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
lot of people who were at one point
allies of the Kremlin who fell out | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
with the Kremlin like this guy,
Nikolai Glushkov for whatever | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
reason. And I think there is no...
There is a link between this | 0:04:04 | 0:04:13 | |
apparent potential murderer and the
incident in Salisbury. But the same | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
guiding hand one fears may be behind
both in terms of the Russian state | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
does not like people who are rented
-- renegades, who turned their back | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
on mother Russia and what it's
about. If you fall out in the court | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
of King Vladimir you are in trouble.
I have to declare an interest. I was | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
supposed to be spending five weeks
in Moscow this summer, is going to | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
be a bundle of... Look at the travel
advisory that's been updated. There | 0:04:39 | 0:04:46 | |
is a real fear of there being
anti-British sentiment and of course | 0:04:46 | 0:04:52 | |
what is interesting is the next
article we will look at. You tell us | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
what it is. Boris Johnson in the FT,
there is a statement that he made. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:03 | |
The headline is something he blames
a row with Moscow by claiming Putin | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
ordered by poisonings. He's
referring thereto the attempted | 0:05:07 | 0:05:14 | |
murders is being treated now because
they're both still alive yet | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
fighting for their lives. What I
think is interesting about this, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:24 | |
certainly is the fact that Boris
Johnson has really tried in that | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
statement with the Polish minister
next to him in a war bunker, which I | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
think was quite interesting to
differentiate the targeted | 0:05:32 | 0:05:40 | |
motivated, the attempted murder,
that target measured sanctions | 0:05:40 | 0:05:47 | |
announced by Theresa May on
Wednesday which we understand is the | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
first phase, and the Russian people,
that he does not want there to beat | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
Russia phobia, and of course that's
a very real fear. -- to be Russia | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
phobia. I think it's interesting
that Downing Street did not decline | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
to comment on the wording of the
foreign secretary and the FT here I | 0:06:02 | 0:06:08 | |
think words it quite well when it
says Britain had previously on the | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
attached unspecified responsibility
to Vladimir Putin and indeed when | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
the Prime Minister was in Salisbury
on her unannounced visit yesterday, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
she said it is tragic that Mr Putin
has chosen to act in this way, but | 0:06:21 | 0:06:27 | |
as the FT quite rightly point out,
we are not sure if she was referring | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
to the attack on the family or on
Russia's responds verbally. Sergey | 0:06:32 | 0:06:38 | |
Lavrov and others calling it
fantasy, some theories in Moscow | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
saying this is Britain that weakened
by Brexit trying to distract. This | 0:06:40 | 0:06:46 | |
is why its so interesting. We are
used to diplomatic language being | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
incredibly restrained, because we
know that eight varies -- a can so | 0:06:49 | 0:06:56 | |
very easily be ratcheted up. For
Boris Johnson to have used this kind | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
of language so specifically and
targeted to Vladimir Putin is | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
extremely fast extremely significant
in diplomatic terms. Absolutely. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
There is the counterargument to this
situation with regards to whether | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
Putin was directly responsible for
ordering this is maybe it is that | 0:07:12 | 0:07:19 | |
who will rid me of this turbulent
place? People take him at his word | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
and his wish becomes their
obligation almost. Here we have | 0:07:24 | 0:07:29 | |
quite clearly the foreign secretary
making it abundantly clear that in | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
the view of the British government
this was a direct act targeted by | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
the Russian head of state. That is a
very serious charge and allegation. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:43 | |
From a foreign secretary. This is
the official British government | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
policy. To be fair I don't think too
many people outside of the orbit of | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
Jeremy Corbyn momentum and Nigel
Farage rather bizarre bedfellows | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
would necessarily take any issue
with what Boris Johnson here has | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
that. I think this would probably be
one of those statements which the | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
vast majority of people up and down
the country here is active of their | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
political perspective would agree
with. It does seem that way, but the | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
one thing you got to remember with
Russia is if you are shaking sticks | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
they've got the bigger stick, and
therein lies... How far can Britain | 0:08:16 | 0:08:23 | |
go with this very dangerous bear in
the room? I want to, if I may add | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
two words. Global support. The FT
refers to that and that joint | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
communique yesterday of Germany, the
US and France is very important and | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
of course what the government,
ministers have been doing in the UN, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:42 | |
British ambassador and the support
of the US ambassador, that has all | 0:08:42 | 0:08:48 | |
been extremely important at the UN
and also Neto. And there are clearly | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
more sanctions up Theresa May's
sleep and also we will see what the | 0:08:53 | 0:09:01 | |
global support -- sleeve. These are
very good intention and words and | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
beginning of actions, but let's see
what the Russian response is. This | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
could ratchet up so quickly. Let's
look at the daily Mail. A betrayal | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
beyond belief. This is following the
trial of the man Essonne -- I'm | 0:09:13 | 0:09:22 | |
guilty of attempted murder after
setting up that device on the tube | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
train at person screen. We now know
that he was part of the prevent | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
programme which is supposed to be...
The radicalising people. Yes, the | 0:09:30 | 0:09:37 | |
evidence that came out in court was
that he told officials when he | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
arrived in the UK two years ago that
he had been kidnapped by Isis and | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
trained to kill by them. Even
claimed in court that actually it | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
was a fabrication he concocted to
persuade them that he needed to be | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
given asylum. The issue here is what
messages were passed on to the home | 0:09:55 | 0:10:03 | |
office, the police, to the security
services about this man who quite | 0:10:03 | 0:10:11 | |
clearly, and a guilty verdict of the
court which did not take very long, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
there is with judgement, he was
planning mass murder. It's as simple | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
as that. He put a bomb on a train
which was a commuter train in | 0:10:20 | 0:10:29 | |
rush-hour with as I know young
children going to school, people | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
going to work, indiscriminate murder
it was on his mind. And he somehow | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
slipped through the net. It's a
legitimate question, you hear that | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
his foster parents knew nothing.
These are foster parents who had | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
taken in dozens and dozens of
children over the years. Here they | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
are asking for donations because
they must be devastated. That bomb | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
was made in their kitchen -- they
are asking for explanations. They | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
have this raid Saturday morning at
their house and they had no | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
understanding what was going on.
Armed police turning up at your | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
front door. He was busy at Dover
about to be arrested unbeknownst to | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
him and the foster parents were in
the house and the police did not | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
know so they went the full scale of
getting mornings outside. There he | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
scary. -- very scary. It raises a
lot of questions about the merits | 0:11:19 | 0:11:26 | |
and pitfalls of the prevent
programme, but as many commentators | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
have said to us tonight it requires
that individual to want to change, | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
to want to turn away from whatever
attempts to brainwash them and be | 0:11:34 | 0:11:40 | |
neighborly them have gone ahead. We
are struggling a little bit, let me | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
tell you. The reason you are looking
at me rather than our gorgeous cast | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
is that both of the screens are
playing up and is not very nice for | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
you to look at I'm afraid. Sorry
about that. Try not to look at it | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
too much. I will stick to the
neighbours if we can. If I could | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
check the timing from you in the
gallery. Seven minutes, OK. Let's | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
move on and look at the express.
Page number two. We will not check | 0:12:04 | 0:12:11 | |
the Lloris at Dover says Grayling.
This will come as a bit of a shock | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
to the EU 27 that that after Brexit,
just come in, go out. There'll be no | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
text. -- there'll be no checks. This
is extraordinary. I watched your | 0:12:20 | 0:12:28 | |
earlier interview. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
It seems that the transport
Secretary Chris Grayling have said | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
that we do not check the Lloris now,
we will not check them in Dover in | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
the future. I'm clear it cannot
happen. We will maintain a | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
free-flowing border at Dover. That
sounds like an invitation to put | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
anything on the loris. You don't
just have nice people watching | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
television. What happened to take
back control. This is quite | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
extraordinary. Is he saying this is
just from the British side which I | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
think is what he's saying, because
on the French side, this is the | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
beginning of the rest of the EE you
and the point is once you are in the | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
EU and that is which occurs many
things Britain was not in, the euro, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:17 | |
Britain is not in. Once the problem
the French will have to carry these | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
checks out. That has an economic
impact, and it's incredibly complex | 0:13:22 | 0:13:33 | |
to set up. Politically when it
looked like it is France's problem | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
now. The mainland Europe's problem
now. The thing is, something I read | 0:13:37 | 0:13:44 | |
today and I believe it was confirmed
by the Department of transport that | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
it would appear that post Brexit
British driving licenses will not be | 0:13:47 | 0:13:53 | |
valid in the European Union and one
presumes vice versa. Unless there is | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
a special permit. If you cannot
legally drive in the UK, if this | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
does happen and come to pass, you
will have to show that permit. is a | 0:14:03 | 0:14:12 | |
border check. There'll have to be
some of checking. -- some degree of | 0:14:12 | 0:14:18 | |
checking. Someone said this is not
true. There are checks, so I think | 0:14:18 | 0:14:24 | |
that the Union for the people who do
actually checked lorries are going | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
you don't even know what's going on
at the border and you are the | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
transport secretary. Actually this
shows the huge complexity of this | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
and as for the frictionless border
on Northern Ireland, that ain't | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
over. No, it is not. The daily
telegraph older workers face a tax | 0:14:41 | 0:14:47 | |
hikes to boost NHS funding. Is this
a bit of a retread of their old | 0:14:47 | 0:14:53 | |
national insurance increased which
were moved in and dropped? This | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
morning I read this addition there
would be a 1% potential increase in | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
the national insurance to pay for
extra spending in the health | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
service. Clearly there are different
views within cabinet because this is | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
another proposal suggesting that the
burden of this extra money should | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
come from older workers,
particularly it says here pensioners | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
working past 65. They should not
have to pay, contributions, | 0:15:18 | 0:15:25 | |
obviously they don't at this
juncture. And it will raise £2 | 0:15:25 | 0:15:31 | |
billion per year. Of course the
Brexit argument about 350 million | 0:15:31 | 0:15:37 | |
per week which obviously we know
they have shied away from even | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
though it was on a very nice, shiny
bus, is an expectation of many that | 0:15:39 | 0:15:46 | |
voted for Brexit that there would be
additional funding and there's this | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
argument of how will we find this
funding and you are the easiest | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
target? The older, more wealthy
workers. They thought that was a | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
brilliant idea when he came to think
in the social cost that is in the | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
manifesto. That was a disaster. It
will not be long before someone | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
claims age discrimination if they go
ahead with this. Absolutely. That is | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
not sound like a viable plan, plus
if one looks at the average age of a | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
conservative voter, talk about
shooting yourself in the foot. That | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
was the problem last time. The
manifesto is the same. Staying with | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
the telegraph, let's look at a photo
on the front page, strong and cradle | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
it says. Theresa May holding a baby.
Which used to be standard fare for | 0:16:25 | 0:16:33 | |
politicians around election time but
I don't remember seeing Theresa | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
May... Because as Andrea Leadsom
rather carelessly shall we say put | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
out, Theresa May has not had
children of her own so therefore she | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
is the age of having grandchildren
and she has not got them for that | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
very reason so it's an image we have
not seen at any point before. Maybe | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
we happen to us on secretary but I
cannot remember because it was not | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
literally then so you are not
looking for it. A lovely picture. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:06 | |
The baby is only six days old, a
fine head of hair for a tiny baby. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
That is one for the family album,
taking in walking them. Very sweet. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:17 | |
Quite extraordinary when you think
Sharon national Security Council on | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
Monday for two hours, going to the
house making a statement and | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
answering questions, Tuesday
ultimatum for the Russians, all that | 0:17:24 | 0:17:31 | |
planning, Wednesday morning another
one hour or more with the Attorney | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
General, defence minister, foreign
Secretary, all of that going on, go | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
back to the not sanctions,
unannounced visit to Salisbury, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:44 | |
quite extraordinary. This is a
tonic, holding a baby. I think so. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
She was genuinely engaged. Returning
to the jam on cream debate. The | 0:17:48 | 0:17:59 | |
Queen settled in for us. How so? I
think there are two scones, some | 0:17:59 | 0:18:06 | |
people say... Gronk. I don't know. I
have to admit, maybe from my Irish | 0:18:06 | 0:18:14 | |
grandmother, I put the cream,
sacrilege... Wrong, wrong, wrong. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:22 | |
Will you tell us which way? She does
not look like she is improving. It | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
looks like a Photoshop picture. I
clearly have blue blood somewhere in | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
my DNA because I like her Majesty
appear to have preferred jam first | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
then green. This appears to be
officially the Royal way. We should | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
all know this and take it to heart.
Many are judging it Bia-Bi | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
expression captured on this
photograph. It looks like she is | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
going with -- by the expression
captured on the photograph. It | 0:18:46 | 0:18:52 | |
looked like she likes the jam first
and then the cream. Isn't there a | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
saying something about liking
doorjamb? It is probably your cake | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
and eat it. It could be a French
expression we are not familiar with. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
Anyway the Queen settled it but it
will not be settled. It will come | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
back again to that age-old question. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:16 | |
Andrew on Twitter wondered how far
Martin's conveyer belt of papers | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
would reach tonight. I will start
marking it like a long jump pit. I | 0:19:19 | 0:19:25 | |
think that if a record. That is
pretty impressive. Benedict brought | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
chocolate for us tonight so she
went. -- so she wins. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:37 | |
That's it for The Papers tonight.
Don't forget, you can see the front | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
pages of the papers online
on the BBC News website. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
It's all there for you - seven days
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
And if you miss the programme any
evening, you can watch it | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
later on BBC iPlayer. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
Of course it is French chocolate.
What other kind would you bring? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Thank you, Martin and Benedicte. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
Goodbye. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
See you later. | 0:19:54 | 0:20:01 |
