tv The Papers BBC News July 30, 2017 9:30am-10:00am BST
9:30 am
overnight, have been very efforts overnight, have been very effective. but there is more work to do. the international trade secretary liam fox has said the government would not be keeping faith with the eu referendum result if it allowed the free movement of people to continue after brexit. but the chancellor philip hammond has previously said "it will be some time" before full migration controls can be introduced. a record number of criminals have had their sentences increased after victims and members of the public asked for them to be reviewed. coming up in a few minutes our sunday morning edition of the papers — this mornings reviewers are sebastian payne from the financial times and prashant rao from the new york times. before the papers — sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's katherine downes. england's cricketers will start day four of the third test against south africa in a strong position, despite rain wiping out most of the afternoon's play at the oval yesterday. debuta nt bowler toby roland—jones took his fifth south african wicket in the morning session as the tourists were dismissed for just 175.
9:31 am
as expected the weather took a turn for the worse after lunch, and in that time alistair cook became the only home wicket to fall. the day's play was abandoned because of rain — england will start this morning on 7a for one, a lead of 252 runs. if we can get up towards the 400, in reasonable time, then we will probably be happy with that. i would hope we could bowl them out in the session, in a day — we have some big hitters to come in towards the back end that can speed up the run rate. that would be the way we would be looking to go about it, i would imagine. sebastian vettel will be confident of increasing his formula one drivers‘ championship lead over lewis hamilton after claiming pole for today's hungarian grand prix. the german broke the track record as he secured only his second pole of the season. ferrari team mate kimi raikkonen will line up alongside him. hamilton struggled with the balance of his mercedes and will start from fourth.
9:32 am
the car in the right window, the sunshine, people around, that's what it is all about. it was big fun, front row for us which is incredible. a big day ahead for england at the women's european championships. they're in quarter final action later today against france. england haven't won against them since mark sampson took over in 2013, and have been beaten by them in their last three major tournaments, but that's a record they're confident they can change. what the england team are really building, they beat germany two yea rs building, they beat germany two years ago for the first time ever, in friendlies, in major tournaments regardless. it is just another, they will go in with the same mindset. it's not anything different for this one game, it's just part of that
9:33 am
momentum and that building process that he and the team have been a pa rt that he and the team have been a part of for the last, certainly this last six months, i have seen this mentality. that real internal drive, stepped up a gear. waiting for england should they beat france will be the hosts netherlands. they beat sweden 2—0 in front of a sell—out crowd. the dutch are now one match away from a first ever european final. they'll be one extra quarterfinal today after germany's clash with denmark was postponed after torrential rain in rotterdamn. have a look at this. the dug—out‘s were flooded. and the pitch, well that certainly wasn't in any condition to play on... as one of the ground staff found out! excellent stuff, we have been enjoying that all morning. the scottish football season is already under way, and we've had the first major upset — premiership side hearts are out of the league cup. hearts needed to win their final game but they drew two all with championship side dunfermline at tynecastle park which was enough to dump them out.
9:34 am
there's a full round—up of results on the bbc sport website. premier league champions chelsea were beaten 2—1 by inter milan in singapore. chelsea benefited from one of the best — or worst — own goals you will ever see! sub geoffrey kondogbia somehow lobbing his own goalkeeper from more than a0 yards out. what a finish from the french midfielder! arsenal in blue despite playing at their emirates stadium, came from behind to beat benfica 5—2 in the emirates cup. england forward theo walcott scored twice before eventually being substituted for record signing alexandre lacazette. barcelona target phillipe coutinho was captain as liverpool beat hertha berlin 3—0. the brazilian set up new signing mo salah for the final goal at the olympic stadium in the german capital. ben proud has won a bronze at the swimming world championships in budapest. proud came third in the 50 metre freestyle final with caeleb dressel
9:35 am
from the usa winning gold. it's proud's second medal of the championships, after winning gold in the 50 metre butterfly.proud came third in the 50 metre freestyle final with caeleb dressel from the usa winning gold. 50 freestyle really is the event to be winning a medal in, so... that was such a fast race. really happy to get my hand on the wall first, or third. between me and fifth i think was almost nothing. britain's james guy won bronze in the 100 metre butterfly, he was tied in third with joseph schooling. caeleb dressel from the usa also won that final. caleb got really fast, tried to bring back as fast as i could but my finish was terrible. that's something to work on the third at the 100 fly, considering my performance in freestyle, third is a great to finish on. jonny brownlee's hopes of becoming world triathlon champion look to be over after he finished fourth in edmonton, canada overnight. the 2012 champion missed the last leg of the championship in hamburg through illness.
9:36 am
he is well down the points list after only completing four races this year. spain's defending champion mario mola won the race & is on course to successfully defend the title once again. challenge cup holders hull fc are into another wembley final, after running in seven tries against leeds rhinos. after an even first a0 minutes, hull ran away with it in the second half. jamie shaul scored the pick of the tries, a 75 yard sprint. mark snead also kicked 15 points. hull will meet the winner of today's semifinal between wigan and salford. it's obviously what we have spoken about all season, making sure we defend the trophy as hard as we can, and we did that today. it's been quite a week for you, you got married a few days ago, now you are in the challenge cup final? i told my missus i can't decide which saturday was best, this one or the last. i am over the moon, a fantastic achievement by some fantastic players. after going on a crash diet of water and white fish to get down to the necessary weight to ride the horse ‘enable',
9:37 am
frankie dettori won the prestigious king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes at ascot. he'd already ridden the three—year—old filly to win the oaks and the irish 0aks, and the effort of getting down to eight stone seven was all worth it... the 5—4 shot, trained byjohn gosden, cruised to victory. today is the final day of the ladies‘ scottish 0pen at dundonald links. australia's karrie webb isjoint top of the leaderboard, on six under par alongside sie young kim. georgia hall is the leading british contender injoint sixth place, she's level par. that's all the sport. now on bbc news, it is time for the hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
9:38 am
with me are sebastian payne from the financial times and prashant rao from the new york times. let's look at tomorrow's front pages. the observer leads with president trump's decision to sack his chief of staff causing nervousness among republicans. the telegraph headlines an ally of borisjohnson attacking philip hammond's approach to brexit. the sunday times has a report on the lives of teenage british girls who run away to join so—called islamic state. the mail says that princess diana's brother has called on channel 4 not to broadcast her video diaries, which are due to air next week. the express also focuses on princess diana, claiming the princess asked the queen for help about her marriage. and that story also makes the daily star's front page. so, let's begin. let us start with the front page of the observer. republican fears mount after trump's
9:39 am
white house. it has been quite a week, how would you characterise? has it really been a week? it feels like a month, a year... evenjust listing the number of things that have happened in the past seven days is astonishing. reince priebus being booted for the general kelly, scaramucci becoming comms director, spicer being, you know, his ragged nation. —— his resignation. it's exhausting just being here, let alone being in rossington. that in washington. what are the republican fears?l sense of meltdown and not actually doing anything, reports this has been the worst week enjoyed by any us president in living memory. this really is the concern of washington, president trump has only been there six months to forget. it feels like
9:40 am
longer that there has been so much news in so much happening. yet actually nothing has happened. the president has not passed any major legislation, his operation is in chaos. this week did feel like everything came together in a ball of catastrophe, in a way, with reince priebus going, anthony scaramucci's thai raid, extraordinary for such a senior us government official to talk in these terms. there are continued questions over the attorney general and the health care bill, but amazing moment. in fact not mentioned here, as one of you pointed out. you talk about what is actually getting done in this. proponents of the president would argue, he has appointed a supreme courtjustice which for most presidencies would be an enormous achievement. that is definitely true, but this health care bill has something we have been talking about not just for months something we have been talking about notjust for months but something we have been talking about not just for months but years, something we have been talking about notjust for months but years, the repeal of obamacare. the fact this is not even get me to play in most of the british press, there isjust so of the british press, there isjust so much there has been happening.
9:41 am
it's been lost. the actual legislation has been lost. part of the problem is, people always say politics would be so much better if we had business people coming in, they will bring a tighter ship. what you are seeing they will bring a tighter ship. what you are seeing i'iow they will bring a tighter ship. what you are seeing now is people who do not really have a lot of political experience, because if you take the obamacare repeal process, it took obamacare repeal process, it took obamacare a year to get through. they are trying to rush this through through the skinny appeal, the major appeal, all these different things. it is also the matter not understanding how to get things done. they are hoping with general kelly coming in who is very experienced, knows how to run a tight ship, that things will get back on track and they will get some legislative progress. they risk getting to the end of this year, and i take your point on the supreme court, but really apart from that it's very hard to say what they have achieved. fair point. difficulty as well as more people jump achieved. fair point. difficulty as well as more peoplejump in and out of this white house. there is a genuine question as to whether they can continue to recruit the kind of talented people that need to be in
9:42 am
the white house. as it becomes harder to tell, do you have any staying power? what measure of multi is sufficient? jeff sessions was the first person, the first credible semitone came aboard the trump campaign. trump before trump, in a way. -- the first credible senator. now trump seems to want to fire him. if that is not enough loyalty, what is? the difficulty becomes, how do you recruit people who want to work in this white house if nolan measure of loyalty is enough? someone said to me, the problem at the trump white house has is the people who work there don't want to, and the people who don't do want to. there is this mismatch of skills and talents. as things continue to disintegrate before our eyes, it gets even harder. is it disintegrating or is itjust the new normal? we have to be careful not to normalise the sort of thing. reince priebus is the shortest serving
9:43 am
chief of staff in white house history. you have to keep things in context here. we are bombarded with these announcements and news alerts all the time about the trump white house, we have to remember even this time last year, this was not how things were done. this was nowhere near the way things were done. it really should not become the new normal. sorry to cut you off, but we we re normal. sorry to cut you off, but we were discussing earlier, one thing were discussing earlier, one thing we have not even mention was the boy scouts speech. that would have been a completely innocuous speech by any other politician but this has become a huge news event of itself. the reporters would have been going to the white house, to the white house speech, the poor reporters would have drawn the short straw of the boy scouts speech, but now there is nothing that is not news any more. you work for the new york times, that has come under fire from the president. what is that like for colleagues? it's difficult to say. in new york, the mood is very different. there are a lot of things happening. there is still very much,
9:44 am
the leadership says, we are doing good journalism and that's all you can ask for. the president will say what he says. i think things like people are coming to news. subscriptions are on the rise, the wall streetjournal as well. coming underfire from wall streetjournal as well. coming under fire from the president is happening to everyone. we had to be careful not to say this is normal, but this is kind of what happens 110w. but this is kind of what happens now. let's move on. front page of the sunday telegraph, boris ally attacks hammond brexit plan. i suppose we are going to have brexit stories every week now four months to come. sebastian, who is the boris ally? that is gerard lyons, who is the leading city economist, he worked for borisjohnson in the leading city economist, he worked for boris johnson in city hall. because the cabinet is now being more careful of what it can and can't say it is reading the ruins of it here, and mr lyons has written a piece for the telegraph. i'm not quite sure how big of an
9:45 am
attack that is, because mr lyons says that any transitional phase out of the eu isjust two says that any transitional phase out of the eu is just two years long, which the telegraph reports is a year longer than mr hammond, a year shorter, sorry, it is shorter than mr hammond wanted. there has any consensus mr hammond wanted. there has any consensus growing about brexit in the cabinet over the past week. —— has been a consensus. everyone agrees there will be a transition out of the eu. it is really a question of how long that lasts and what it consists of. this two—year period with mr lyons and mr hammond are talking about, seems fairly acceptable. there is still this concern from brexit supporters, to use the phrase that is in the telegraph, there is a bridge to nowhere. a transition with a finite point. we will see a lot more of this kind of stuff over the next couple of weeks as everyone tries to get their stuff out there before the prime minister in september is expected to say, this is what the transition will be. this is what
9:46 am
brexit looks like. you say that, but on the front page of the times you have got the international trade secretary liam fox denying there has been a cabinet deal on immigration. that's the story we are running this morning as well. it does not necessarily feel that united, does it? the necessarily feel that united, does ie necessarily feel that united, does it? the - is, you are right it? the difficulty is, you are right to say this is not really a split. two years, three years, in the grand scheme of things this will be worked out. the real questions are not really being tackled in the way they need to be. this is something i think you are right, there will be a transition, everyone agrees that, whatever it turns out to be. immigration is much more difficult because i think philip hammond and certain other members of the cabinet do seem to want some measure of immigration, especially from the eu. i think there is a reasonable economic argument to make that britain could use some immigration, especially as the population ages and younger migrants come through. but then it is, what the people vote for last year. did they vote for less immigration? that seems to be a
9:47 am
reasonable consensus that there was a desire for that. we were talking early as well, this is just one of a whole host of located issues, that not enough is being talked about. northern ireland is another one. that's on the front page of the observer i think. how you get through this in 18 months, ijust don't know. and of course the speculation about people manoeuvring within the cabinet, for eventual leadership successes. leadership. yes, i was just grasping for words there. there are tribes in a way. you have damian green who was essentially the deputy prime ministerand essentially the deputy prime minister and philip hammond wanting a soft as possible approach. they do not want any kind of cliff edge break. others like michael gove and liam fox want to jettison the eu and back out there and start negotiating these new trade deals. the problem is we have not really had that
9:48 am
conversation over the past year with what brexit looks like. a lot of the past year has been people scratching their chins past year has been people scratching theirchins and past year has been people scratching their chins and thinking, but not much leadership from the government. i think this is where it turns to the premise in the autumn, when she comes back from a walking holiday in switzerland. hopefully she can say right, this is where it's going to be. if you keep having these splits about little details about the transition period, you don't get to theissues transition period, you don't get to the issues we are talking about, about what our migration policy will be, what will the irish border lookalike, is the ecj going to have a role? lookalike, is the ecj going to have a role ? that lookalike, is the ecj going to have a role? that ultimately will decide what brexit looks like, and whether it will fill the needs of the 52% devoted to last summer. let's move on to devoted to last summer. let's move ontoa devoted to last summer. let's move on to a story we will have a lot of, princess diana. -- the 52% who voted to leave last summer. lots of papers happiness but let's look at the mail. don't show diana love ta pes look at the mail. don't show diana love tapes on tv, please what's that? this is a series of
9:49 am
conversations, i believe there are 12 tapes in total, but seven are the basis for the stock imagery from channel 4 regarding princess diana as the marriage was falling apart, in the midst of the separation. she talks in very private terms about the honest conversations she had been having with the queen, with prince charles himself. there is some. . . prince charles himself. there is some... this has been broadcast before, this is the first time it would be on british tv. nbc broadcast as the male motes in 200a. -- nbc broadcast as the male motes in 200a. —— nbc broadcast this, as the mail notes. i can understand why family members don't want this to be broadcast but there does not seem to be any legal justification for broadcast but there does not seem to be any legaljustification for it not be broadcast. the real debate is because these tapes were part of some training sessions, i believe, according to the reports. the question is, did diana ever woollies
9:50 am
board was? obviously we will never know the answer and that's the real question here. —— did diana ever wa nt question here. —— did diana ever want these broadcast? some other papers as well, sources close to prince william and harry saying they don't really want them broadcast. but you are right, there is no legal justification. i suppose it comes back to taste grounds, public interest, and public appetite. it is incredible, 20 years since the death of diana and the public appetite for this story does not seem to be really that much less than it was in the late 905. as really that much less than it was in the late 905. a5 we roll into augu5t, the late 905. a5 we roll into august, i think there will be a lot more of this as well. i suppose 50 much of it has been reported, are nothing new is seized on as an opportunity. what is interesting is the princes, william and harry, have opened up quite a lot in recent weeks about their relationship with their mother. they of course have a right and want to own the story. she was their mother. but other people wa nt to was their mother. but other people
9:51 am
want to tell the story in different ways. there is a tension there. absolutely. we saw the itv documentary where they very much opened up in a personal way, putting their side of the story across, where is this is a very different side. there was a lot of reporting that they were very involved in a documentary. it was notjust interviews and being on camera, but they chose people who would be there, it was very much as you say, them presenting their side of it. not there multiple sides, but their story. but there are multiple stories to be told. appetite for stories to be told. appetite for stories for princess diana have shown no signs of abating over 20 yea rs. shown no signs of abating over 20 years. she was an astonishing figure, i think that i did read imagery we went into a lot of the remarkable thing she did. it's easy to forget that she was remarkable in so many ways. this document tree, it's very uncomfortable viewing i'm sure, it will be uncomfortable for memories of her family, sure, it will be uncomfortable for memories of herfamily, her sons. —— members of her family. but i'm sure there will be more
9:52 am
bluster, this to come as we get closer to the anniversary next month. let's move on, i'm keen to get another story. the times has done a bit report on the life of teenage brides in islamic state, so—called little britain. young women like these british and western women like these british and western women who have married fighters for so—called islamic state, not a news story in a sense of what this reveals is a lot of detail we did not know. hugely, there is also this issue of their legal status as well. alongside this we have the story about the government stripping hundreds ofjihadists about the government stripping hundreds of jihadists on about the government stripping hundreds ofjihadists on british passports. a very emotional story on the front page of the - times the front page of the sunday times today about one of these so—called jihadis brides who has had her, she is stateless, she has no citizenship, no passport. she had gone to the so—called islamic state to marry a fighter that. what we are seeing here is that isis is collapsing. the fight does seem to
9:53 am
be making progress. syria is on the brink of collapse as well. when that happens, what will happen to all these people? these people who have british passports as well. this is of great concern to the security services here, because there is a quote from the senior source who says there is an awful lot of people we have found who will never be coming home again. our number—1 preferences to get them on trial. we don't think that's possible, we use disruption techniques. depriving people of passports? exactly. trying to control the situation that is very ha rd to control the situation that is very hard to control. it will only get worse. the momentum seems to be against the islamic state, as they continue to lose territory in syria. she talks in this interview, it's remarkable, her hardships on morale. fighters and their wives spoke about leaving, most wanted to go she said, but they did not know how. more and more people, wanting to go back to germany, britain is not alone in confronting this problem. another
9:54 am
thing where her parents plead with the government to let her go home but the bureaucracy is a movable and she fears the stigma she would face if she did return. they will say she is isis, she says. huge problems, legal problems with what you do with these people. there are people born in islamic state territory whose passports will be held, if they are nationals of britain, denmark, all these countries. even if they do come back, how do you reintegrate them into society? do you put them in jail? them into society? do you put them injail? what do them into society? do you put them in jail? what do you do with the children? there are a whole host of problems countries are only beginning to grapple with as the islamic state falls, and as that happens, there will be a huge number of problems that i get to be confronted. the british government is taking a very tough line on this, simply saying given the events of this year they are very conscious first of all not necessarily of the reintegration but about the security element. how do you track them? we do not have any good methods in this country for tracking people who come in and out of borders. that is their
9:55 am
first concern. they say there is a great human question toward this as well. we are going to have to leave it there. thank you both very much. that's it for the papers this hour. thank you sebastian payne from the financial times and prashant rao from the new york times. coming up on bbc one after this programme is sunday morning live — with the details, we say good morning to sean fletcher. should the morning after pill be easier to buy? and we will be meeting with a muslim man who has faced a torrent of abuse since announcing his wedding to his male partner. and stephen mcgann, the overworked doctor turner from call the midwife talks to us about his life and career. join us at 10am. time for a look at the weather... our unsettled spell of weather
9:56 am
certainly continues through the remainder of the weekend and into next week too. today, not a complete write—off. for many of us there is sunshine around in between the showers. he is the scene from one of oui’ showers. he is the scene from one of our weather watchers in ferrybridge where we have some blue sky and sun, but equally a bit of cloud around. that will tend to build through the day, you can see the patchy nature to the cloud to the northern and western parts. that indicates we will see that cloud building and bringing some scattered showers. it should stay dry overall this morning, good news as the third test continues at the oval. could bring one 01’ continues at the oval. could bring one or two passing showers later on, but parts of south—east england and east anglia should avoid the showers do much of the day. this morning most of them will be across northern and western parts, potentially heavy and western parts, potentially heavy and thundery. more showers building and thundery. more showers building and drifting eastwards as we head into the afternoon. let's look at this afternoon. lipm, across scotland and northern ireland we are set to
9:57 am
see plenty of heavy downpours. the be some thunder storms, the driver a time across scotland, but northern england and into wales, a similar picture. sunny spells, blustery showers, could be some hail and thunder mixed in with some of these showers. frequent showers across the south—west, but london and kent, essex for instance, mostly dry into the middle part of the afternoon. we could all see a shower into the evening, then across england and wales most of the showers ease away overnight scotland and northern ireland with low—pressure nearby will continue to see that feed showers coming in from the south. temperatures falling to around 12 to 15 degrees tonight. what about monday? still unsettled with low— pressure monday? still unsettled with low—pressure sitting to the north—west. driving in further showers from the atlantic. through the day, similar to today, sunshine and showers. showers not as heavy, not as frequent as they are today. more confined to the north western half of the country. fewer showers making their way south—east. 17 to
9:58 am
23 degrees, should feel pleasant enough, particularly in the south between those heavy showers. heading through tuesday, and other showery sort of day. not too bad. wednesday more low—pressure moving in from the west, that will bring a spell of wet and windy weather as we head into wednesday as well. for today and tomorrow, we are looking at sunshine and scattered showers. during tuesday the showers should be more confined to northern and western parts of the country, and into wednesday we will start to see low— pressure wednesday we will start to see low—pressure once again moving in, bringing our wet low—pressure once again moving in, bringing ourwetand low—pressure once again moving in, bringing our wet and windy weather in from the west. that is how it looks over the next three days. if you want to find out more about the weather where you live over the next ten days, head to our website, bbc .c0 ten days, head to our website, bbc .co.uk/ ten days, head to our website, bbc .co .uk/ weather. that's all from me — there's continuing coverage on all the top stories on the bbc news channel. from us now, goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at ten: the australian prime minister says counter—terror police have foiled
9:59 am
an attempt to blow up a plane. four people have been arrested in raids across sydney. the threat of terrorism is very real. the disruption operation, the efforts overnight, have been very effective but there is more work to do. the international trade secretary liam fox has said the government would not be keeping faith with the eu referendum result if it allowed the free movement of people to continue after brexit. a record number of criminals have had their sentences increased after victims and members of the public asked for them to be reviewed. also in the next hour — 100 years on from the battle of passchendaele in belgium...
