10:31 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anne ashworth, who's associate editor at the times. and bonnie greer, the playwright and columnist at the new european. before we hear from them, let's look at some of the front pages briefly. the sunday times leads with its story that the queen won't stand down for prince charles. the front page is dominated by an image of her majesty in pink. the daily mail says hope is fading for the seven—year—old boy missing following the attack in barcelona. the daily express leads with the same story — it says the boy's injured british mother is desperately searching for her son. the telegraph also covers the barcelona attack, but focuses on plans to crack down on car and van rentals in its aftermath.
10:32 pm
obviously barcelona still featuring heavily in the front pages. it is a difficult one because there are so many developments. can you get it all in? there is very little about america. very little trump. it is barcelona. the sunday times has gone with the queen wearing a devastating pink outfit. millennial pink. white background she is smiling. she will not be standing down and allowing prince charles to take over. she said when she took the throne she would stick to the job. we have seen a lot more of prince charles and less of the queen. and the duke of
10:33 pm
edinburgh. we are seeing more of william and kate. there has been a shift in the royal family tee we have very little threshold for longevity in the current era. we like to think there is a soap opera going on in the royal family. of course there isn't one. the queen's ancestor, queen victoria, she also had a son who didn't, go to the throne until late in life. we don't know these people. but they are probably laughing a story like this. she is committed to a job, she loves doing it. she looks great. she visited grant holt tower. her aides nowadays —— visited grant holt tower. her aides nowadays — — her visited grant holt tower. her aides nowadays —— her aides nowadays, she is an old lady but she is not as old as it used to be. she has turned it around, not single—handedly, i'm
10:34 pm
sure. but she has gone through some very dark times one the royal family's future was in doubt. but prince charles, has he turned it around for himself? that is a bigger question. he has always, all through his life, a very active man. he wants to do things, obviously. this has to link up with the 20th anniversary of diana's death. i think for a tiny moment the queen stumbled by staying in balmoral with her family. she stood —— she should have comment back. it wasn'tjust the death of diana. a lot of people felt the monarchy was out of touch with real life. she is seen once more as the mother of the nation. i think we have all watched that amazing series, the crown, which
10:35 pm
charts the early days.” amazing series, the crown, which charts the early days. i haven't. even republicans have enjoyed it. it has given people a level of understanding of the monarchy they didn't have before. people feel warmers who are thanks to that extraordinary series charting her early life, how she took the throne, the circumstances, the conflicts, the circumstances, the conflicts, the challenges. you would love it. as someone who didn't grow up in this country, i have met her majesty a couple of times, one of the things about her is when you see her, she isjust a person. and all of this is around her. that is part of being a leader. in times of terrorism and uncertainty, that is one the royal family can, go into their own, offering support and unity. some of her christmas messages recently have been very in touch. when we look at the front page of the daily mail,
10:36 pm
the front page of the daily mail, the lost boy of barcelona, you get the lost boy of barcelona, you get the feeling that the royal family and everybody is reading stories like this. terrorism doesn't work when you look at las ramblas tonight, does it? it unites people. they are adopting the keep calm and carry on, we will not give in to terror. that has always been the policy here. this story is really very difficult to read. the father of this poor child, flying in from australia. he is going to possibly go to the morgue. there are some other people, other newspapers saying that somebody has been found. they also fill in a great deal of detail in the inside pages. about the nature of the attack planned. how much more extensive the terror cell was. they were planning until
10:37 pm
the very last moment. on a deeper level, it helps sauce to stay connected with this in a real way. what is happening, and this leads into the sunday telegraph story, terrorism experts say this will be oui’ terrorism experts say this will be our reality for the next 20 years. we are already processing in these horror stories that are happening in oui’ horror stories that are happening in our cities, in horror stories that are happening in ourcities, in ourtime. horror stories that are happening in our cities, in ourtime. these kinds of stories help's. it is a tragic story. but it helps's to stay human eyes. this is a real thing. story. but it helps's to stay human eyes. this is a realthing. we unite in defiance and we also unite in fear as well. look at the story in the sunday telegraph. already new policies, new ideas of how to tackle terrorism, including a crackdown on
10:38 pm
carand van terrorism, including a crackdown on car and van rentals to halt terror attacks. as i read this story i thought of what mac —— matthew parris wrote this morning, the fact it was very good that we were defiant but we needed to take measures. he said that public places, famous streets, should have bollards fitted in them, have the kind of reinforcements that we now have a cross bridges. kind of reinforcements that we now have a cross bridgeslj kind of reinforcements that we now have a cross bridges. i was in berlin this week filming and i was out of the square were you had the christmas market attack and they now have concrete bollards all the way around the square. it does act as a reminder actually that you remain quite vulnerable. that street is always flowing. there are lots of young people. they are aware of where they are. in addition to this, we do have to face reality. there will —— they will always be ahead of's. we have to allow the
10:39 pm
population to understand that. should we go as far as israel, where you get searched going into shopping centres 7 you get searched going into shopping centres? israel is a tiny country with another ethos in terms of what it is. we are not like that. we will have to prepare the public for the fa ct have to prepare the public for the fact that this is a way of life. each of's has to live our life and be vigilant. we have to educate people about how to do this now because it is important. this is a generational struggle. because it is important. this is a generationalstruggle. if because it is important. this is a generational struggle. if anybody complains about extra checks at car hire because they will be more id checks if you want to hire a larger vehicle, they need to remember this will keep us safe. and alive. shall we look at a couple of other stories, little bit of light relief?
10:40 pm
the sunday times, a story that got us the sunday times, a story that got us all chatting in the newsroom, sausages. thousands at risk of pig virus from cheaper sausages. i spend a lot more money —— i like to spend a lot more money —— i like to spend a bit more money when it comes to sausages. this would rather put you off your brunch tomorrow if you were reading it. there is a supermarket that seems to have supplied sausages that seems to have supplied sausages that caused either liver cirrhosis oi’ that caused either liver cirrhosis or neurological damage. and health authorities have tracked the people who suffered these back to an own brand sausage. i have to ask you as someone who knows this, why would they put this story in the paper if they put this story in the paper if they don't tell you who it is? they put this story in the paper if they don't tell you who it i57m has to be legal implications. the
10:41 pm
story is there. suddenly you walk into these different places and you are mortified because you don't know where it is. there is no right of reply, which is what we call it in the industry, where if you are accusing an individual or organisation of something, you give them a chance to respond. a lot of people will suddenly stop buying own brand sausages. it is hurting the industry. i suspect we will hear more about this story. do you suspect we will be hearing more about jacob rees—mogg? on suspect we will be hearing more aboutjacob rees—mogg? on the front page of the sunday times talking about his extra earnings. why do we care? because he is a personality. whether or not you see jacob rees—mogg as the next leader of the
10:42 pm
conservative party, that is how people are talking about him. every aspect of his life and his health. an income of more than £1 million this year. i have written about him this year. i have written about him this week in the new european. this is called the silly season. this is officially known as the silly season. he is poster boy for the silly season. if you read things from conservative mps, they are literally saying they will leave the party if he has made of the leader. he was to the right of the party. if you really double down into some of the things he stands for, he wouldn't make it in any kind of hustings. this is silly season stuff. everybody thinks he is nice and he is funny. it is a desire for and he is funny. it is a desire for a larger—than—life and he is funny. it is a desire for a la rger—than—life personalities. and it sells papers. we have
10:43 pm

10:44 pm
and then the weather is on the agenda as it always is at the weekend, but this time its extreme weather as we follow al gore and a series of flip chart presentations around the sadly necessary an inconvenient sequel, a follow—up to his oscar—winning an inconvenient truth. and in the hitman‘s bodyguard, the bodyguard played by ryan reynolds meets a hit man played by samuel ljackson and it's love at first sight. well, not really. let's start with final portrait. i'm a massive stanley tucci fan as an actor. i know he's directed a few films before. i must confess i don't think i've seen any of them looking at the list. how does this work—out? there was a one called big night where he played a restaurant owner with his brother played by tony shalhoub. stanley tucci doesn't pop up in this film, although tony shalhoub, who played his brother, does, again
