passengers who were effect. the passengers who were giving the first eyewitness account said that they saw a flea movement gci’oss said that they saw a flea movement across the carriage. they did not feel like they heard a bang or a massive explosion. it was a wall of flame. it seems that police said there are not likely to be fatalities. we can be grateful for that. but there are still a lot of unknowns about this attack. we have not had any description of who we might be expecting the perpetrator to be. we have not had any indication of that the police believe he was on the train at the time or if he came off the chain. it seems it was on a timer device that there is a lot that is not clear. cctv, it is very extensive, both on the stations and on those streams, so the stations and on those streams, so you would imagine that by now those sitting through it would have found a lot of significant material. there is a report on one of the
10:46 pm
papers for tomorrow morning saying that they think that the bomb probably was not on the train when the bomb detonated. and possibly at detonated hourly. there is some speculation that it was intended to expose mitterrand, possibly even at westminster when the train reached that destination stop —— intended to explode later on. take as to the daily meal, not quite so many papers are pleading with the attack as we all thought they would, but the daily mail, that is not spilling its target as far as some of the web search engines are concerned. this isa search engines are concerned. this is a theme that the daily mail keeps coming back to. the paper feels strongly that you can access a
10:47 pm
recipe to make a bomb on various search engines, even on facebook, google. web giants like them needs to do more to stop people getting that information, they say. that information can be found elsewhere apart from google. it is hard to know where to draw the line. the prime minister is going to the us next week to speak at the un general assembly. she will meet some of these web giants and we are told that in her address the two things she wants to focus on our modern slavery, a key thing when she was home secretary, and the other thing is online extremism, and we expected to take a tough line next week. and a summit with the french president regarding china amongst other things. she is expected to tell web companies to do more to tackle
10:48 pm
extremists but when you think of that level of threat facing the country now, 500 ongoing investigations at any one time, 3000 individuals classed as potentially violent individuals classed as potentially viole nt extremists. individuals classed as potentially violent extremists. just zooming in on google and facebook and microsoft and what can be done online, that doesn't feel to me where the real threat is. the real threat feels as though it is out there on the streets now. i found this take on the entire story a bit of a side issue today. i sense you are agreeing with that? yes. it is clearly the place where people are being radicalised, is online, more than perhaps it was a decade ago, when it was less easy to make such instantaneous connections with people, but it is also through to see and research beers are tight that people also tend, if they are radicalised, the needs a personal
10:49 pm
connection as well. it is notjust you tube videos, you need a personal connection in order to make that step. web giants, there might be something more they can do, i do not think it will solve the problem. at the moment somebody else knows what is about to happen, the greater chance that is of its being stopped. the front page of the telegraph. this is not talking about the bomb attack although there is reference to it on the front page but the main splash is what borisjohnson has been saying in no fewer than 4000 words. i find this absolutely astonishing. i think it is a leadership challenge. if it looks and sounds like one it's probably is. it is interesting. yesterday, there was a surreptitious photo taken outside downing street, a d raft taken outside downing street, a draft of the prime minister's speech for florence next week, and at the
10:50 pm
top it said 4500 words, and it is interesting this is also 4000 words. it is the required length. it is incredibly brutal timing from the foreign secretary because now, this big speech that she is planning for next friday, which is supposed to lay out the next stage of her vision for brexit, it is going to be seen entirely through the prism of what he has laid out here. it is very interesting timing, i wonder what his cabinet colleagues will make of it. the headline is interesting because it goes back to one of the key promises of the leave campaign of which boris johnson key promises of the leave campaign of which borisjohnson was essential pa rt of which borisjohnson was essential part of, with reference to spending on the nhs. yes, he is saying that we will take that £350 million for the nhs and all the remainers said, this is completely wrong, you should withdraw that and take it off the bus. now he is saying it is right
10:51 pm
and we are going to do it. it is interesting because his blueprint differs markedly from that of philip hammond and other cabinet ministers. he is setting out his vision for a ha rd he is setting out his vision for a hard brexit, at a time which is difficult for theresa may. there are differences you can point out. he said no payments into the eu budget which david davis and philip hammond had been at pains not to rule that out. specific things in the future. even david davis, if you ask him will we still pay into the eu budget after 2019 he will say something like, the eu budget after 2019 he will say something like, that user of large payments to the eu is over, but that is not saying nothing. he is definitively saying nothing, that puts water between him and other members of the cabinets. the financial times, still brexit related, but this is to do with the
10:52 pm
value of the pound and what we might be looking at in the relatively near future with regard to interest rates. yes, this is a story, the pound has reached its highest level since the aftermath of the brexit vote. heightened expectations that there will be the first interest rate rise in a decade, it could come as early as november. this is because a member of the monetary policy committee has now said that he thinks that an interest rate rise is needed and should come quite soon. that'll be a rise from 0.25%, very historically low rates that we have enjoyed from so long. and i think the reason that the pound seems to be at the highest level since brexit is that he is supposedly the one who is the most resista nt.
10:53 pm
supposedly the one who is the most resistant. so if he thinks it should, then clearly that means there is changes afoot. if it does come to pass it will be interesting to see the effect on the economy. ten yea rs to see the effect on the economy. ten years is almost a generation of borrowers who have never had higher interest rates than these historically low ones, especially with brexit on the horizon, it will be interesting to see what happens. let us end with the times. who wants to ta ke let us end with the times. who wants to take us to this apparent row, a palace power struggle? the headline, green's top aide ousted in palace power struggle. it is a story about the tensions between the royal household and apparently the most senior courtier, the private secretary of the queen, was forced out earlier this year in a power struggle between... after apparently
10:54 pm
being caught in conflict between the two households, the staff of prince charles have been keen to accelerate plans for charles to play a bigger role in royal events by the time he reaches 70, which is next year. this is to show that he is the king in a meeting because the queen is 91. there was a speech in may, it called for the royal household is to unite around the queen, according to the times, charles did not like this, and he complained, and sir christopher was apparently forced out of his post. this 70th birthday elements, according to elements of the times, there is a project 70. project 70. some deny that even exists. clarence house says it does not exist, there is no such thing as project 70. maybe charles does not wa nt project 70. maybe charles does not want people join attention to his
10:55 pm
age. apparently they say that he has never demanded a more prominent role for himself, but that was something that was talked about a lot when prince philip retired, some of the thinking behind that would be that charles would step into the breach a bit more. it seems like sir christopher had expected the queen to perhaps defend him over this and he is said to feel bruised over his treatment. it is an interesting glimpse into these sort of tensions in the royal households, their rivalries, the power struggles, which we normally do not get to see, but which are going on behind the scenes. it is an artificial world with all kinds of rules that we do not understand. charles will be the old est not understand. charles will be the oldest man to take the throne when he does take the throne. he has been waiting a long time. on that note of royal discord we will have to draw things to a close but thank you both very much. that is it for the papers
