to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are hugh muir, columnist at the guardian and claire cohen, women's editor at the telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph says police and intelligence services have identified key suspects in the poisoning of former russia spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia. the times leads with accusations that police are failing to adequately investigate modern slavery cases , some involving children. the the windrush immigration saga leads the ft , which says that arrival records in the national archives support the case of the windrush generation. the daily the daily mirror says a woman who arrived in the uk in that generation has been denied re—entry to britain after going
10:36 pm
to jamaica for a funeral. the daily the daily mail says that fly—tippers could face on the spot fines of eaoo. the i leads on new research that says saliva from ticks could be the key to treating a range of conditions such as heart damage and alzheimers. and the express says that after speaking to a former butler of princess diana , that harry and meghan's marriage will be for life. wide range of stories there to discuss with my two guests. thank you forjoining us this evening. clare, we'd better start with your own paper. the telegraph. police identify poisoning suspects a p pa re ntly police identify poisoning suspects apparently a big developer did the investigation of what happened in
10:37 pm
salisbury. there has been a lot of noise about the slow progress on the decontamination of salisbury, this isa decontamination of salisbury, this is a seemingly good turn in the story. the suspects aren't named, we're told police have been scouring cctv to identify these two. we don't know if they are the man and the woman spotted walking down the high street you've not yet been identified. it all sounds very positive but i think we need to sound a note of caution probably. it's interesting, they are not named. but they know who they are and there is this report that suggests they do have names and think they are in russia already. what next? we've been down this road before with the litvinenko case where someone before with the litvinenko case where someone was before with the litvinenko case where someone was identified, we wanted to prosecute them, couldn't get anywhere near. what they did was so get anywhere near. what they did was so frowned upon in russia it became... he became a russian mp. he was given extra protections when he
10:38 pm
was given extra protections when he was made an mp. if it turns out the suspects were russian it could add further to the tension between the uk and russia. it could, we have the russian ambassador to the uk saying perhaps we poison them from porton down. relations at an all—time low it's safe to say. if we are comparing this to litvinenko, let's not forget, he sat down with his poisoners. it was much easier to build a body of proof, not that it got us very far, against them. whereas these are, you know, key suspect who may or may not be walking down the street. be far more difficult to build that body approved before we get to talking about extradition. this was much worse because it affected so many people in salisbury and the area, that big clean—up still going on now. this is quantified the a more serious case. you do think the end result will be the same. a big investigation going on and the decontamination could go on for
10:39 pm
months. the times has an interesting story. child slave gangs go free. talking about this new law. this has been a big issue for the prime minister. indeed. at heart what they are saying is the prime minister flagged up modern slavery is something she was deeply concerned about and wanted tough action on. and the times put out a freedom of information request and discovered there are lots of allegations being made but very few are coming to fruition as charges. they've highlighted a couple of areas, west midlands, they say there have been 295 offences recorded injust midlands, they say there have been 295 offences recorded in just four charges. thames valley say 118 offences and just two charges. there seems to be a disparity between the allegations and the incidence, and charges being laid. that could be because what is being discovered doesn't actually meet the test of
10:40 pm
the charge. we don't know the background to the specific cases. the charge. we don't know the background to the specific casesm could be the police say these are cases that need a lot of investigation, they take up a lot of time, and we don't have the resources to do that. there will be a political repercussion for that because the prime minister has put a lot of her reputation on doing something about this. it does seem to be another case where she does seem to be another case where she does seem to come up with these things every s0 seem to come up with these things every so often and say this is a real concern of mine and we're going to do something about it. in the world moves on and when people do request like this and find out what happened, you find out not much has happened. this is a prime example of action. in the of rochdale and rotherham and telford grooming scandals, the heart sinks to read more cases where vulnerable people have been neglected by people supposed to be caring for them. the story goes on to say some of these missing children were seen as troublemakers which is exactly what
10:41 pm
we saw in those cases as well. there isa we saw in those cases as well. there is a whole systematic problem we're dealing with. we don't know why these cases are not being brought to court, not resulting in charges, whether it is a problem with the legislation, with the police investigation. i think there could be parallels with the debate we have about the prosecution of female genital mutilation. the police need to have either specialist knowledge 01’ to have either specialist knowledge or communities in which these things, from which these allegations spring, to be able to investigate these cases. it maybe don't have them. they are difficult cases to crack. they are very time—consuming. they use up a lot of resources. lots of different stories in the papers in the morning. the daily mail, not sure whether this is good or bad news for the prime minister. trump
10:42 pm
visit back on, apparently he's going to come and stay with the queen. apparently so, he could stay at balmoral, we're told. it's been pencilled in forjuly the 14th, quite interesting. just under two months after the royal wedding. we know he has been invited to it. this might be seen as a bit of a booby prize may be. officials apparently keen to roll out the red carpet which of course many of the critics of this visit certainly when mooted asa of this visit certainly when mooted as a state visit, sadiq khan said we shouldn't roll out the red carpet. it was1.8 shouldn't roll out the red carpet. it was 1.8 million people signed a petition to save he shouldn't be having a state visit. perhaps this will be a more pared back crypt. -- pair back crypt. jeremy corbyn has said it should not happen. and if it does there should be protests. there are many people campaigning against this. i'm not sure you'll have that great time. at the palace or even
10:43 pm
balmoral is a bit down—market and paired with mar—a—lago. i'm not sure it would be his sort of place. not like trump tower. it says he is keen to play around with golf at the queen's nine hole course in scotland. those are some of the attractions for him. in some ways it's humorous, in other ways it's not, because a lot of us have reasons to not particularly want to see him here and hated. particularly when we're about to talk about the government not letting people into the country, wanting to throw people out of the country, letting somebody we would see as undesirable in. we know why, brexit coming, we desperately need a good relationship with him. politically this is an interesting time because he's meeting with macron next week and there has been talk about their bromance. being a new special relationship. if the story is
10:44 pm
true... uk diplomats have become concerned about the french stealing a march on them, is that the basis for these visits, these invitations these days? things are getting rather cosy. theresa may has gone out of her way hasn't she to try to strengthen this relationship. famously holding president trump's hand when she was in washington, being very keen indeed to try to strengthen the alliance. she was one of the first foreign leaders to visit. i'm not sure how keen she was to partake in said handholding. but they have clashed a number of times. let's not forget over his retweeting of the britain first videos. there has been some awkwardness. not surprising she might be keen to get this relationship back on and even keel. could be quite an interesting visit. the daily mail on its front page has gone for a new crackdown on fly—tipping on the spot, £400 for dumping your letter. part of the
10:45 pm
border green agenda here. which is a good thing. good to have a green agenda. whether or not this is the right action to be taking i'm not sure. i'm interested that the male like the idea of people fined £400, presumably local authorities would have some role in policing that. usually when ever local authorities police anything the mail are the first people to criticise. there does appear to be a bit of a u—turn. all of us who see rubbish fly—tipped and want it stopped can't really ta ke and want it stopped can't really take much issue with something that might discourage it. what they seem to be saying is even if you employ someone to be saying is even if you employ someone to get rid of your rubbish, if it ends up being fly—tipped, you can be held responsible. if it means people take more care about who they have dispose of things for them, i think it can only be good. suggestion in the story seems to be
