a mistrial in his sexual assault case. welcome, and to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. starting with: the observer claims that the government repeatedly failed to act on fire safety warnings before the fire at grenfall tower. the express leads with the queen's response to the fire, praising her majesty for calming the nation. the sunday mirror labels

the duke of cambridge the ‘prince of compassion‘ for the role he played in responding to the fire. the sunday telegraph says theresa may could face a leadership challenge from within her own party if she waters down brexit. the sunday times reports that senior conservative figures have told the prime minister she has ten days to improve her performance or face a confidence vote in the party. let‘s begin with a little bit more in—depth look. all of the papers focusing on the terrible tragedy in west london. the sunday telegraph is talking about the response, the initial response, being simply not good enough. the prime minister has issued a statement reflecting that as well. a realjuxtaposition in terms of what the volunteers were doing straightaway after the tragedy. they all got together and yet, the officials were taking a long time. i think this is the question of the need for really

in—depth enquiries. it is propping up in—depth enquiries. it is propping up the time to start going into the detail of things like building standards, fire regulation, going back to things like the bradford fire and the king‘s cross fire which we re fire and the king‘s cross fire which were particularly bad. its work flagging them up because the commander has been indicating that this is going to be the worst civil fire in london since the blip by the looks of things, looking at the toll of death and injury and people being displayed. —— since the blitz. it makes it so truly iconic. i think the first responders‘ makes it so truly iconic. i think the first responds the; and quite interesting. the police and the fire brigade and everybody trying to do their stuff but what comes in with the local council people, this is where mrs may has been extremely graphic, from various

quotes in the papers, about her criticism. that seems to me there is a big failure here which is indicated in the sidebar story, interestingly, in the observer, saying the british red cross is now being asked to put professional organisers into north kensington to help out. the problem is what you do after the first responders. it is what america learned after nine or 11 what america learned after nine or ii and hurricane katrina. it is no use to say that we will do things in the third world. nonsense. take a country like italy which 80% of the tension that shellac territory is subject to our —— earthquakes. they have a ministry who deals with units of the military like the red cross that can go in that honestly, this recurrent callout the military, particularly if the tory are going

to cut the military down. when you have army of 100 thousand, and you can‘t call out that many people. actually, we have big questions because grenfell tower isn‘t a thing that can be fixed in five days. it will take five months or possibly even a year to get everybody sorted out, get them housed, get their lives on an even keel, if even they can be in some cases. the prime minister is saying she was the people as affected to be re— housed in three weeks. a big challenge. she is saying that because of the criticism she has been unsympathetic. it's because she didn't meet them for several days. we are talking about hundreds of people in central london and you also have the issue of all. other also have the issue of all the other

in who are people in tower blocks who are are in potentially similar fire risk situations who are raising concerns and fears that their lives. it is completely understandable. — — and fears that their lives. it is completely understandable. —— they fear for their lives. it is really crucial. we have had a lot in the past few days and have all become experts in fires and fire defence systems and flammable building cladding that there is a subsequent issue here which is that it doesn't seem issue here which is that it doesn't seem to be a centralised response system. you are hearing responses from survivors and families saying there is nobody here we can talk to, they don't have the information, the charities and the red cross are being helpful but no one is being, there is no centralised unit where they can get the resources they need. counselling, medical resources, anything. that is separate from building regulations. we really should be able to do this

in one of the richest countries in the world. we are expecting a task force and somebody with high viz jackets to turn up. we are expecting that to take place. a lot of the criticism has been focused on to are made and it has been a difficult week for her. the election result has been a difficult result for her. the sunday telegraph is now talking about this threat as a stalking horse leadership challenge without naming who this potential challenger is. i think i hear the wheelbarrow of the daily sunday telegraph politics trundling down. it is a strange piece because the headline says the conservatives are allegedly preparing a stalking horse,‘ is. —— single quotes. they couldn‘t really name anybody. it really is rather

u nsatisfa ctory name anybody. it really is rather unsatisfactory but the telegraph is in tory heartland so it is picking up in tory heartland so it is picking up the mood music, if i can mix and thatis up the mood music, if i can mix and that is all. there is clearly something that. —— mix a metaphor. they must be thinking she is not doing terribly well but there is no obvious challenger that i can see emerging. once a name is mentioned, it is cancelled out almost immediately. left, right, woman, man, amber rudd, michael gove, david davis, asjohnson. man, amber rudd, michael gove, david davis, as johnson. every man, amber rudd, michael gove, david davis, asjohnson. every time it is raised in a conversation in media, quite rightly, it is itself cancelling, self—destruct mechanism. they do know what to do. the interesting thing and merging from all the plate —— papers today, real

concern about the queens speech on the 28th of june concern about the queens speech on the 28th ofjune which is usually the 28th ofjune which is usually the manifesto for a government with a comfortable majority or a working majority. no, now it looks as if it is going to be the occasion of the first may be quite a number of these autumn of confidence votes. in the prime minister. the longer that goes on, the process, i think her position looks as if it will weaken. t 3 ..:..:::.. has, ~ ~ ~ t 3 ..:..:::.. has f; got to pull a t 3 ..:..:::.. has as got to pull a rabbit% she has really got to pull a rabbit out of a hat and suddenly say, "i am in charge, i can show you how to do it and this is the way forward." the sunday times is saying the conservative party is giving theresa may ten days to turn this all around. they are also focusing on the queens's speech and can she regain the favour of her party. of course, if she can't, you have

labour waiting course, if she can't, you have labourwaiting in course, if she can't, you have labour waiting in the wings. what is interesting about the election result, many of those in the labour party are taking it as a mandate for jeremy corbyn to become prime minister. there were protests planned this week and john mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, was saying people should go to the streets at to defy tory rule and it was as if they are selling the idea that theresa may had stolen the election. obviously, she won more seats than labour. labour did still lose the election that it is really interesting to look at how the labour party is merging the response, the outrage over the fire and the upset over the election and to kind of build a movement that says, for whatever reason, whether it is the election of a fire or accept, this woman is not able to lead us. i think that sentiment is coming through the tory party as well. she is being pressured from all sides. as the observer is suggesting, big businesses are

telling her to rethink our heart brea kfast. telling her to rethink our heart breakfast. also telling her do not water down the brexit. —— are hired brexit. 's - crowtree. -- hard. it is what is best for the british people. to go back to the sunday telegraph, the only word that comes to mind is brave. the people have voted for a hard brack said. no, they voted to leave the eu —— brexit. the eurosceptic mps have warned any attempt to keep britain in the customs union and a single market and give any leeway for the european court of justice market and give any leeway for the european court ofjustice will

trigger an overnight coup. what is this? is this journalism? trigger an overnight coup. what is this? is thisjournalism? actually, it is pure comment. what it is, i‘m sorry, not being a card—carrying tory myself, this is a thoroughly divided party. i know that your party, rachel, is looking at the story that the big companies the observer is looking at that don‘t wa nt observer is looking at that don‘t want this hard brexit. the eu citizens living here, largely living and working in london, there are trading restrictions, financial services passport in, all of that. the unifying factor, both with the eurosceptic and people within the conservative party and with business, is that they want theresa may to listen. she hasn't been very good at that. she has her advisers should listens to but she keeps her cards close to her chest. whoever they are. they ask clearly still

having an effect of her. it is that mentality of battling down the hatches —— battening down the hatches. they need negotiation with the rest of europe, you need somebody who is listening to concerns. people that can listen to advice. we haven't seen that from her. can she change? if she wants to stay prime minister, she has two. very unusually for a prime minister, she didn‘t fight the election on the economy. on security and leave it with me. it is so unusual in modern times is not to major on the economy. i think that times is not to major on the economy. ithink that times is not to major on the economy. i think that we are good talk about that for hours but we will come back to the parody —— terrible tragedy. the royals are

taking the mood of the nation. the queen has calmed a shaken nation. this i‘m sure it is common sense that the queen is incredibly well advised. the way that little touches, the statement, drawing the nation together. but also the nice, d eft nation together. but also the nice, deft touch of announcing the award so they could an ounce pc keith palmer‘s medal, richly deserved. in a non— cynical way, it wasjust brilliant. it was just all the good quys brilliant. it was just all the good guys had gone out of the way and done things and really put their lives on the line, as pc keith did. that is so good. i will bring rachel in on this. we have the younger side of the royal family, in on this. we have the younger side of the royalfamily, the prince of

compassion. look at that
