response, time. he has upped his response, which up until now had been confined to tweeting, of course, the new tool in the diplomatic armoury. and it is expected that that meeting could go ahead tomorrow. thank goodness he is going through the un. and notjust through twitter. a president of the us on the 4th ofjuly. again, from north korea, two fingers up. more than two fingers, though, this is a serious bit of kit. it could hit alaska if they sent it out... donald trump did say... when was it, january or february, that he would never allow this to happen. that went well. it is the chinese that good start that ever happening. north korea as a client state of china. it is up to china to do something and trump is appealing to

china with his tweets and everything else. keep your eye on this. we should notjust be reading trump's tweets, we should be reading about all the nations surrounding north korea. in range of these north korean missiles. chilean tonnes of gas and oil under the that everyone will be fighting over. —— one chilean tonnes. one wonders if we have to get used to the idea of north korea having nuclear weapons and dealing with it on those terms. that is an idea that, you know, we should not just that is an idea that, you know, we should notjust surrender on. no—one knows the manoeuvres behind the scenes in terms of what is happening with diplomacy but it is true that china will want to contain this. diplomacy has run its course, really. but there is a school of fight that north korea is defensive and does not want to be toppled like

it iraq —— iraq and syria. and does not want to be toppled like it iraq -- iraq and syria. this headline, firefighter deal busts pay cut. questions about the i% pay cap four public service workers. the firefighters apparently have already busted this. yes, this could be labelled another tory surrender. if they start backpedalling on the pay cap, which was put in for a reason, not just the fun of it, cap, which was put in for a reason, notjust the fun of it, it cap, which was put in for a reason, not just the fun of it, it was cap, which was put in for a reason, notjust the fun of it, it was to bring the public finances under control. on the backs of the public sector. i will come to that in a minute. it must be contained. and if they do not contain it, you can expect it to unravel. in relation to

public sector pay, the truth is that after the recession, all p had fallen public sector pay rose more than private sector. public sector pay has fallen by far less than private sector pay, having risen to a much greater degree between 2000 and 2005. but the reason for the pay cap is to deal with the deficit. we have a lot of debt... we have a growing amount of debt. pastjan soils have been trotted out in last few days, alistair darling, kenneth clarke, so on, they were fighting deficits in a different way. they did it by listening the past rings. —— the purse strings. did it by listening the past rings. -- the purse strings. this was a choice to put the birding on cutting spending. —— burden. iamjust

stating the facts! it is easy to dress up what is essentially heavily taxing a private sector worker who has seen his pay fault or greater, oi’ has seen his pay fault or greater, or her pay fault, to a greater extent or her pay fault, to a greater exte nt tha n or her pay fault, to a greater extent than a public sector worker. it is easy to say, we will tax year to pay for public services. people are happy to be fought public services but the pain is to be shared across that the. it is private sector workers had the greater burden. finished? public sector workers pay their taxes as well. it is going to cost and it is going to unravel because the tories are just listening to what they heard on the doorstep and the political fallout after the likes of g re nfell political fallout after the likes of grenfell and london bridge. which people very quickly connected... not the immediate response, which was fantastic, but the hysterical background and cuts that have left

us background and cuts that have left us in this situation. the firemen have gone for 2%. he started as a fireman on 21 grand, you might end up fireman on 21 grand, you might end up 136 fireman on 21 grand, you might end up136 grand. fireman on 21 grand, you might end up 136 grand. inflation at 2.696. the front page of the daily mirror is a continuation of this. cameron, it is selfish to give our heroes penalises, it says. the millionaire next premier who rakes in £126,000 an hourfor next premier who rakes in £126,000 an hour for speeches. it next premier who rakes in £126,000 an hourfor speeches. it says. next premier who rakes in £126,000 an hour for speeches. it says. what is audience in asia must have thought that he took potshots at british workers... cameron white to defend his legacy. he did not go through that pain

irememberthe i remember the last time, i rememberthe last time, during i remember the last time, during a labour government in 2002, they got a lot less than that and had to take changes in condition as well. ok, let's move on. the front page of the telegraph. leftover women forced to freeze eggs. what is that about? this is feminism coming back to inflict some pain on some alpha females. it is an interesting cultural story. we have written a lot about this on the website, actually. the numbers are significant. supposedly, there has been a fivefold increase in british women freezing ex to about 4000 in total. —— freezing eggs. the

procedure itself is very invasive. we are told this is because there is an oversupply of educated women and more women are going to university than men, it seems there and all —— are no men for them. another hand, you could be going to university and leaving with £57,000 of debt. this is a symptom of the fa ct of debt. this is a symptom of the fact that there are more educated women than ever before. six out of ten students are now women. the education system is succeeding for the funeral population, because we made that decision, but it is failing poor young white boys, to quote the book from last year. failing young white guys are not

getting into uni. there is a story behind that story. there is a whole book on that. we have it on the website as well. been there done that. front page of the metro. student loan was on a mortgage. quite a few stories relating to student loans and problems people are having paying them off. the study says graduates from low income families, the ones who really get to university, leave with debts of 57,000. that is since glands were replaced with loans. it says graduates will be in a 50s before they pay them off. but the debate... it is politically eschewed for jeremy corbyn to offer free tuition

for students, great political cell caused engaged the years vote. —— youth vote. but labour that the wrong end of the debate. it is where you are born into your bond a life chances. if you're born in a poor farmer, you don't get support from the very beginning, before you can go to school. you're less likely to make it a university and then go on and make enough money to pay off listed below and if you do get to university. i don't think 4096 of people should necessarily be going to university. a lot of people graduate with debt and are not secure graduatejobs. not graduate with debt and are not secure graduate jobs. not all degrees of the same. lumping them all in one category is dangerous. some degrees are useless. name one. gender studies is a worthless degree and you should not be paying for it.

you're being generous with other people's money and asking other people's money and asking other people too... i love shaking that money tree. love it. i can't shake it enough. it's like when i used to go to church. finally, i love the story. this is the daily express. jean—claude juncker, president of the eu commission, has gone to the european parliament. now want for his arrival and that of the malta leader. he got very agitated and angry. he is like the old headmaster telling of the old schoolboys. it was a classic visa tv, i am told. the express also tells us that the european parliament, which will as we know is and democratic and roger has no power, costs us eight billion

pounds a year. another reason why we should get out. one sentence comment. he is a notoriously passionate politician depending on the time of day, so this might have been after lunch. you know how we know he was angry? he gave his thai leader in english. so we know he was angry. —— his tyler reid. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the newspapers online. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, laura perrins and torcuil crichton. goodbye. hello. 25 celsius in the sun in kent today but just 12 in hello. 25 celsius in the sun in kent today butjust 12 in the rain in parts of southern scotland and northern england. northern ireland improved a bit this evening, drier,
