9:37 am
that is all the sport for now, more on the bbc news later but for now, time for the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning edition of the news paper review. with me are henry mance, political correspondent for the financial times, and kate devlin, deputy political editor for the sunday express. let's take a look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph says that theresa may has been warned by her own constituency chairman that she must not concede any further ground to the eu in any brexit deal. the sunday mirror has a full—page splash on the possibility that there may be more of the deadly novichok nerve agent hidden around salisbury. the sunday times leads on whistleblower claims that the qatar world cup bid team broke fifa s rules by running a campaign to sabotage rivals competing to host the tournament. the observer is one of a number
9:38 am
of papers to show a picture of geraint thomas securing his tour de france victory, the first welshman to do so. and finally, the sunday express covers news that a water company is urging snoops to inform on neighbours who use hosepipes in breach of a ban. let's look at the newspapers in a bit more detail, starting off with the sunday telegraph, kate, saying grassroots in open revolt over theresa may's version of brexit, is it that clear—cut? really a grassroots revolt in the tory party? yes, i think there is, one association i heard about this week
9:39 am
ata association i heard about this week at a ballot of members and 95% were against the chequers agreements that theresa may has come up with and i think what this shows is there is so many groups that theresa may has to sell this deal to, not just many groups that theresa may has to sell this deal to, notjust to mps, not just to sell this deal to, notjust to mps, notjust to brussels, but to her own rank and file members who now fear that the brexit they voted for in huge numbers is being sold down the river by not just huge numbers is being sold down the river by notjust their own prime minister but their own party leader. do you think she can sell the deal? to the party, let alone to brussels? to the party, let alone to brussels? to some extent these warnings help her with brussels, she can say she has no room for manoeuvre or compromise but reality of the negotiation is she has put out a policy which will involve compromises i'iow, policy which will involve compromises now, the europeans welcome back and say, we want to change that point and that point. i think she will have a really difficultjob bringing think she will have a really difficult job bringing them think she will have a really difficultjob bringing them back on board and the hope is to be that it is this all we do not leave, or we have chaos, and that will be her
9:40 am
hope, that towards the end of this year, this is the only plan on the table. henry has a great point, the grassroots are split, giving us two thoughts they are having at the moment, one, we hate the chequers agreement, the other, this far and no further. the split is helping theresa may. whether theyjoin up, and everyone agrees they are not happy with it, that would be a much more dangerous position. a lot of talk about a leadership challenge, maybe in the autumn, is that how you see things going? it is not going away, you would be mad to rule that out. do you think... boris johnson? difficult, even if you capture the tory party, unless there is a general election, parliamentary maths are not on his side, not favouring a dramatic break with brussels. what about the brexiteers, are they optimistic they can overturn theresa may's version of brexit? well, i mean... there are
9:41 am
mixed feelings, is the only way to describe how they feel. at the moment. some of them more optimistic than they were, some of them less optimistic than they were, it's very difficult to see where this is going to go, and hairy is —— and harry is right, the parliamentary numbers are against them, things don't change evenif against them, things don't change even if they change the leader. what happens if there is no deal, sunday times say army on standby for a brexit emergency. not the independence day that wrecked city is hope for, but this is about the government getting into gear finally about announcing plans if there is i'io about announcing plans if there is no negotiated settlement with the eu, ifwe no negotiated settlement with the eu, if we revert to wto terms, in terms of trade, and, the proposal would be there would be army helicopters taking food out of the south—east to areas with... for instance, insulin, not produced in
9:42 am
the uk, contingency plans about how we get that into the country, difficult to stockpile dairy products, fresh food. 0ne difficult to stockpile dairy products, fresh food. one of the interesting things in the sunday times article, we were going to have this drip drip of news through the summer this drip drip of news through the summerabout this drip drip of news through the summer about the government plan warning people that if we don't get a deal, we will need to take precautions, it will be difficult. now they are lumping the news together at the end of august and regulate about what motivations might be for that but we will not have what brexiteers see as a kind of "project fear" mark to rout the next couple of weeks. that is the point, is talking about stockpiling medicine, and food, contingency planning, some people may say you ask them a ring, others might say you are being realistic. there is a real question about how successful these arguments are at the moment. if you are trying to put pressure on labour mps if you are trying to put pressure on labourmps in the if you are trying to put pressure on labour mps in the labour party to back the chequers agreement, then yes, but if you are trying to put pressure on the general public, we have been round this round about
9:43 am
them, lots of people who think it is "project them, lots of people who think it is " project fea r" last them, lots of people who think it is "project fear" last time we'll think it is this time. the fact they are not doing the drip drip may be the only time in the last couple of yea rs only time in the last couple of years that henry's financial times readers and my sunday express readers and my sunday express readers have agreed on something, what is the sense of doing it in that way. also important to say, this is what civil servants do, they come up with preparations, prepare for the worst, if you want to not sleep tonight, look at the contingency planning for a pandemic flu. it is effectively the script for a horrorfilm. flu. it is effectively the script for a horror film. and the observer has farmers in crisis, summit, over food supplies, bringing together the story about brexit stockpiling food supplies, but also, the drought and the heatwave and what that has done to food supplies. as it starts raining, we worry about the fact of the drought! concerned there will not be enough feed for livestock later in the year because of the lack of rain over the last month or
9:44 am
so, andl lack of rain over the last month or so, and i think you will see, all these concerns about strains on public services, strains on the private sector, become questions about brexit, we know the nhs is understrain, if there about brexit, we know the nhs is under strain, if there is no deal, the nhs will come out of a winter crisis and be thrown into a difficult position in regards access for medicine. likewise here, we have a drought, then it will be a brexit question of getting in the right food. already, several strains on the system, we have an added dynamic put on top. we have talked about the tories quite a lot, let's talk about labour, the mail on sunday have, corbyn loses the plot over anti—semitism. saying that labour is in turmoil, second rebel mp brands the party a server, and a mounting backlash could cost the leader his beloved allotment. how does that work? how might he lose his allotment? he might lose it because
9:45 am
of the council involved, which labour lost, which the backlash against the party being seen as a simmerfor against the party being seen as a simmer for anti—semitism, as one against the party being seen as a simmerfor anti—semitism, as one of its own mps put it this week, is in full team. it is losing seats in local elections that we saw, it is really going to struggle to take back some of its target westminster constituencies, where there is a hugejules constituencies, where there is a huge jules buckley constituencies, where there is a hugejules buckley but constituencies, where there is a huge jules buckley but also, constituencies, where there is a hugejules buckley but also, voters who will wonder how has it come to this, how is the official opposition in this country involved in a row over anti—semitism which has so far lasted two years. sunday express today, i was reading, the labour pa rty‘s today, i was reading, the labour party's annual conference in september is going to open with a rally of labour members protesting their own party's attitude towards
9:46 am
anti—semitism, hundreds of people expected to take part. how has it come to this. interesting question, whatever you think about the rights and wrongs of the argument about anti—semitism, jeremy corbyn is not dealt with the issue, it has festered. these latest of elements, dealing with people who have criticised him rather than the underlying problem, which is what is causing so much anger. the question is, does it go anywhere? last two years, anger, may well make them looked less credible as a party of government but when it comes —— will it come to the nuclear option where labour mps say, it come to the nuclear option where labourmps say, i'm it come to the nuclear option where labour mps say, i'm so fed up, i'm starting my own party. john woodcock has walked out of the labour party, it would take maybe a dozen more, 20 others to really marked a dramatic impact from this story. you think this could potentially cause labour a lot of election damage, when it
9:47 am
comes to the next election. yes, thatis comes to the next election. yes, that is where it is going, the constituency outside glasgow, something that labour should be winning, if it wants to be in government, and actually, quite confident it will brand itself as a party ready for government and if they start jettisoning the party ready for government and if they startjettisoning the kind of seats they should be winning, then this is a huge problem for the party. this is not going away, this has been on the front pages for two yea rs has been on the front pages for two years now. it raises serious questions about what kind of leadership is in the official... something else not going away for qatar, allegations about the 2022 world cup bid. splashy, sabotage world cup bid. splashy, sabotage world cup bid. splashy, sabotage world cup rivals with black cab is, according to this report. —— splash.
9:48 am
fifa have a law against publishing oral or written statement of any kind that raise questions about other bids. and the insight investigation says they have evidence that a professor was paid $9,000 to raise questions about the us bid, that was one of the big rivals, that australian grassroots fans were encouraged to make noises that they did not really want the world cup in australia. and this would be a clear breach of the law, law treatment, former chairman of the fa, saying, if qatar is shown to have breached the rules, then they should lose the 2022 world cup. my own impression would be that we are now so own impression would be that we are now so close to 2022, that these scandals have not had that kind of impact but they may increase the pressure on fifa to keep reforming. gianni infantino, new man at the top, has not yet shown that. qatar
9:49 am
have rejected what they say, they say they reject, the qatar bid team say they reject, the qatar bid team say they reject each and every allegation made, so pretty comprehensive denial. it is but i think this is a great story for so many reasons, obviously, world cup fever overtaking us again as it a lwa ys fever overtaking us again as it always does this summer, but such biased concerns, if i can put it like that, about qatar, i would probably like to see it's not be held in qatar just probably like to see it's not be held in qatarjust because i am worried about the times of when the matches will be. i think lots of readers of the sunday times will be, and will wrap up this story. sunday mirror, more on the novel chock story, more deadly novichok on the streets, according to this. —— novichok. two pairs of people were injured with novichok, the skripals
9:50 am
and the two people who picked up a bottle of novichok. their bottle was unopened, sealed, now that means that in the view of the counterterror operation, there must be two sets of novichoks going around and so there could be some on the streets of salisbury, which could pose a health hazard. war on the web trolls, here, and we have been reporting on that in the news bulletin a lot as well. do you think trolling... is that having a real impact on our political life? undoubtably. undoubtably, mps will tell you that they got death threats in the run—up to the last election. because of online trolls, determined to abuse anyone who wants to stand for public office. it is having a
9:51 am
chilling effect, i would say, on the political class, which is probably, probably a term that feeds into it. there is a feeling out there at the minute that there is a kind of them and ask. everyone is being part with the same brush. yes, there are reasons to go after the political class, goodness knows henry and i do it often enough for absolutely good reason but we have got to start asking ourselves what we want in the end, and if that is putting off normal people, in inverted commas, ordinary people, with huge skills, running for public life, then i think we will end up in a very bad system. also in the mail, meghan markle and her dad, meghan ‘s cut me off completely, says the front—page headline. a lot of comments. cannot even get hold of her anymore, changed all her numbers, perhaps it
9:52 am
would be easierfor changed all her numbers, perhaps it would be easier for her if i was dead... what do you make of all of that? has not spoken to his daughter for ten weeks, was not at the wedding, andi for ten weeks, was not at the wedding, and i think, there are two sides to this, one is that the palace have not taken good enough ca re of palace have not taken good enough care of him and the other is that he has made it very difficult for them, revealing some of prince harry's political views on brexit and donald trump. in this interview which was not paid for, they make that clear, comments that really annoy and hurt prince harry and meghan markle, he brings diana in, and i think, he says, the actions of prince harry and meghan markle, diana would have loads them, he says. looking to get under the skin of his daughter and son—in—law. —— diana would have loathed them. all a bit sad? very sad, the other thing this does, your heart goes out to meghan markle and
9:53 am
harry, i can see what he is dying to do here, trying to engender sympathy for himself but actually, just makes you sympathetic towards meghan and harry. what about the tour de france, another british winner. a welsh winner. ticks in seven years, fantastic, geraint thomas, amazingly we nt fantastic, geraint thomas, amazingly went to the same school as gareth bale and sam warburton. quite a hat—trick! quite a pe department! laughter two sides to it near, in france, tea m two sides to it near, in france, team sky have not been well received, they have been booed, there are lingering questions about there are lingering questions about the way that they complied with drug laws, and also, a resentment of how much money they have compared to other teams and cycling's governing body has said the tour de france is a bit boring. grain, seems to be a lovely bloke, everyone has a nice word to say about him, neil has cried for the first time since his
9:54 am
wedding. nice to have a different winner. -- geraint thomas seems to bea winner. -- geraint thomas seems to be a lovely both. i have opted out of bed, really! august's running out of bed, really! august's running out of puff, young people not wanting to learn things like the oboe.|j of puff, young people not wanting to learn things like the oboe. i can see why this is on the front page, they have missed a trick by not giving it the headline video killed the orchestra staff. i disagree with this, talking about the fact nobody wa nts to this, talking about the fact nobody wants to play the bassoon anymore because of youtube videos, that was probably the invention of vinyl records and rock and roll that did that! you don't believe that? i'm afraid that i don't. i'm sure that orchestras will survive.|j afraid that i don't. i'm sure that orchestras will survive. i think partly because of cuts, but over the la st partly because of cuts, but over the last decade there has been a decline in those taking music gcses, so there may be some fire behind this point. good to talk to both of you. thank you for coming in. kate, henry, many thanks indeed. that is it from the newspapers, you can see
