tv   The Papers  BBC News  April 24, 2019 10:40pm-11:00pm BST

10:40 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former fleet street editor eve pollard, and writer and broadcaster christina patterson. some of tomorrow's front pages including metro — feature the funeral of murdered irishjournalist, lyra mckee who was shot whilst covering rioting in londonderry on the 21st anniversary of the good friday peace agreement. the financial times has the same story and takes more
10:41 pm
of a political angle saying ‘mckee‘s funeral brings call for ireland accord'. leaders including theresa may and leo varadkar were criticised during the service for not coming together sooner to resolve northern irelands political tensions. in agreement is the guardian, which has a photo of the funeral with the headline "plea to politicians at mckee funeral" but leads on a story which claims half a million of uk children aged under 10, are at risk of measles because they are not vaccinated the telegraph headlines the story about chinese tech—giant — huawei — where the uk has agreed to let the company help build its 56 mobile phone network. a move which was highly criticised by the united states. the paper says a us security agent compared the the deal to "giving beijing a loaded gun". "ban your toddler from tv and ipads" is the headline of the daily mail. it reports that children aged under two should not be allowed to watch screens, as un experts advise it could be dangerous.
10:42 pm
and from one generation to another — the i talks about a report which suggested elderly people should stop getting winter fuel payments, a free tv licence and bus pass. now let's start with the metro, as there is saying on the front page, there is saying on the front page, the funeral of lyra mckee, 29 years old and incredible wasn't it a short life but the impact she made while alive and also this in general, very emotional day. what's interesting is we did know that politicians speak to one student —— to one to another but you rarely see of christ because i think funerals are bigger in london, which is where you see this, you would not see theresa may sitting next to leah brad kerr, you would not see the dup sitting next to the opposites, but they were there. they were there in a close
10:43 pm
small space and of course father magill was brilliant because he set a line that was good, isn't it terrible that that depth of a 20 on yourgirl terrible that that depth of a 20 on your girl who life in front of her before you actually get together and speak to another? now, it'll be interesting to see if anything comes from this because ireland is in an interesting position about about their relationship with us, about their relationship with us, about the new ira, which seems to be having an influence. and dare you think it's a small country and bees group of people could change the world, and change the future all in one small space. it'll be interesting to see if they didn't. especially before, a different number of politicians all those yea rs number of politicians all those years ago but they did had to good friday agreement that that'll be interesting about whether we saw the standing ovation air, politicians we re standing ovation air, politicians were reluctant to get to their feet at that shamefaced. well, it was
10:44 pm
incredibly moving speech, and the whole thing is heartbreaking actually, and obviously for those of us actually, and obviously for those of us who are actually, and obviously for those of us who are generous actually, and obviously for those of us who are generous to actually, and obviously for those of us who are generous to see a actually, and obviously for those of us who are generous to see a young journalist cut down literally in her prime and pre—prime, she was a very talented writer and campaigner. it really is tragic and what we don't know who did it but we know that the so—called new ira have claimed responsibility, but it was quite shocking to see arlene foster sitting there with her arms folded as the entire congregation stood up behind her. she was pretty much at the last person in the cathedral to stand up and when she did, she looked incredibly uncomfortable. everybody else around there was clapping and in the end, she did a kind and as he said a halfhearted clap. it was an astonishing moment. i think it's possible that things might shift at that, it will be quite hard for any politician to sit
10:45 pm
through that and not at least make a gesture towards change afterwards, i did see a story before i set out saying arlene foster has spoken about getting the family back together and apparently to karen bradley as well so let's help movement happened. it could be one of those moments. the fact that you now have the new ira, ruining ireland's lives, i remember going interviewing when in the middle of all that situation where there were if you are man goes out, you didn't... to be involved in violence of any didn't... to be involved in violence ofany kind, didn't... to be involved in violence of any kind, and it ruined the whole lives in. they could be going back to back not yet but the idea that that's even a possibility and when i interviewed the priest earlier and said to him, how is the community feeling about all of that, he said
10:46 pm
there is absolute appetite to get there is absolute appetite to get the politicians back together to try and get it up and running. and a saw that the children when i would not that the children when i would not that not it was naive of them not to think that brexit would have these applications because people undervalue what was achieved in the good friday agreement, it was a phenomenal achievement 20 years and astonishing thing to achieve that if you go to belfast, one of the things that shocking is how tiny it is, after london it feels like a village, and then you go to these other areas that you see what was established because it was so divided and we are seriously, yes. no when people are talking about something happened in the past, you're in trouble people have not gotten you're in trouble people have not gotte n over you're in trouble people have not gotten over it and i started to say
10:47 pm
let good life together so they could be. without that we don't know, who knows what's going to happen. let's move on to the guardian, and it's been a few stories over the years actually about all of this, this is about measles, the fact that children are not being vaccinated across the world, 170 million children under ten across the world, and really trying to remind people that these are killer diseases we are talking about. very much, this is that you and saying this. but of course also our nhs is saying half a million children in this country, and the influence is from social media, youtube and facebook and twitter and instagram. and i understand people who have had children with who have had problems and had the vaccination and it's just too easy to play the blame
10:48 pm
game. of course it's very hard because you have to get the first injection when you're very, very young say you don't know how the children will develop. and there have been doctored to say is actually not safe, but measles is a killer. it's been virtually eradicated people forget that...|j think eradicated people forget that...” think it's right, there is a horrible complacency now that people go and grow up healthy and don't encounter these diseases, but what accompanies it is at its andrew wakefield who became a kind of folk hero, he became a hero and now he a supermodel girlfriend and he a superstar in america, and it's not out ) that superstar in america, and it's not out) that kind of equivalent of a kind of underground movement that gains an enormous itioitiei'itui'i‘i kind of underground movement that gains an enormous momentum and becoming mainstream, and essentially it's all about ignoring evidence that's anti—science and not select a shows shocking, and a lot of these
10:49 pm
people to vaccinate their children are middle—class, they ought to know better and understand that it's science it's there for a reason and when they had done studies showing vaccine does work, they should get it. moving on to the telegraph, and the story we had been writing all day today, huawei, the deal is like getting beijing a loaded gun, it's about the chinese company and it reports that the uk is going to allow them to come and help some the ip network. anyway... what's interesting is we had irritated so many people first of all there so many people first of all there so many cabinet ministers who are furious at this decision that the prime minister has agreed to, and it seems that philip hammond agrees, as a feeling they can go so far any further, we are talking to one another they keep saying well eventually machines talk to one
10:50 pm
another, we are just going to have to interrupt that when they do things. any machine can do my washing if they want to, but it just seems we've got this famous thing called the five guys, which is ice, americans, canadians, australians, new zealand. they watch the world and after a point have kept the wild as safe as it has been. and they all say you wouldn't let the chinese company have a close link to the government and... and i think from what i can tell it's the reason half the cabinet and people like you and ican the cabinet and people like you and i can sniff the don't imagine people like that are an expert in 5g technology but who knows, i think it's much more about the so—called special relationship which we don't have any more, submit we are holding onto willey saw what it was like when donald trump actually met
10:51 pm
theresa may, and the complete lack of any report or empathy or engagement there and what the us has been saying about potential trade relationships plus brexit. we know this is all about kowtowing to the us, and that may or may not be a security issue that is not clear yet, but i do know someone on the board of huawei and complete governance guru and he is absolutely adamant that there is no security and this i don't know that i don't think it's a risk. what's interesting is when trees and a list of secretary she was resistant to what 0sbourne was trying to do which was investment into the nuclear systems and she was reticent about it and order inquiry so whether she has been placated because the security people in this country are saying like we can handle it because they can't do it. i would love to know what she thinks i don't think the report says that because they are busy could i mean a thing that matters most, someone here says they
10:52 pm
thought huawei worked was pretty shocking i'd like to know what she thinks. we may find that one day. next benefits for older people are under attack, a reporti next benefits for older people are under attack, a report i think it's select committee report. our house of lords and saying they have the allowa nce of lords and saying they have the allowance and bus passes and basically this should be taken away. about time i would say, not all of them got rid of, but actually, there's a lot, there is a lock on politicians which are critical older people vote in young people and flexion a dump because we seem to believe in the eu but that's on the side, but not the triple lock was introduced to ensure our pensioners did not live in poverty and of course i'm dealing up already in poverty and of course i'm dealing up already and of course all those who do should get the part, but all the studies show that century, elder
10:53 pm
people now, the wealth lies much more with older than younger, younger cannot afford houses older people live in the houses and they would quite... lots of people would love to sell a big house. they shed, but the fact that his wealthy people do not need free feel allowances and free bus passes and free tv licenses. he should be means tested. we know what that means. my feeling is i'm sympathetic to some of this but again it's very much a southeast bubble. those who live there happen to be living in houses that have gone up and now slightly going down, but got up a lot. i can people in the north and order people at their actually need every penny making up because the houses had not done as well. i also think older people take
10:54 pm
ona well. i also think older people take on a lot of roles that nobody wants it, they look at the grandchildren that they people around, they look after each other, so that's rather important, we don't have enough care homes and places for older people to live. i can see that there should be more done for young people. not at the expense of all people. but it will be at that expense because the pot is limited and you have to choose where you're going to allocate the funds can't be put above, we had had all these years of austerity. in fact why the paper says that he had the best returns to capital gains tax ever and they had to get into less money than before because people are selling their spare because people are selling their spa re class because people are selling their spare class and all the rest of it they are doing capital gains and paying them on... my feeling is i would like to know about the waste that goes into how much tax we pay. and i really did feel that all people, particularly as and working for longer to help their children to
10:55 pm
pay for children, i think this is very much a southeast bubble up we went up north and scotland, there's a lot of people who are really rely on things like free bus passes. there are plenty of people. . there ple nty of there are plenty of people. . there plenty of people rely on these things that he should be about how wealthy are not wealthy you are, and it means in terms of the size of the plot, yes that secondly has been wasted show all the money spent on no deal plans, all the billion created bribes to the dup, there has been magic money tree found to be quite you know anyone it's there. but not for the younger generation. there is no doubt there should be more apprenticejobs there is no doubt there should be more apprentice jobs and vocational training and probably more help for first—time buyers, that seems to be going to that housing companies, more help for them to get on the ladder. there was a move to safety
10:56 pm
while the dense wealthier pensioners, why not give your bus passes to your grandchildren are children. a lot of us do the. related for that. that's it for the papers this hour. eve and christina will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any next is the weather. hello, good evening. most places were cooler today and there was some wet weather around. one part of the country that missed the wet weather was here in suffolk where there was some sunshine. temperatures 19—20 degrees. that warmth was drawn into the midlands and northern england, helping trigger all those thunderstorms.
10:57 pm
the rain was pelting down in staffordshire. the wetter weather is moving away and things will be drying off for a while with skies turning to clear. we have got some downpours across northern ireland for a while and then some further showers working their way up again for northern parts of france over the channel into england and wales. pretty mild overnight, not cold as it was last night for scotland and northern ireland. over the next few days it will be on the cooler side and we will not see those temperatures above 20 degrees for a while. there will be somemore wet weather and the potential for thunderstorms too. all the heat has been pushed away into eastern parts of europe and we are drawing down cooler air from the atlantic and pressure is lowering, hence the wet weather we are seeing. but thursday morning, for the rush hour we have got wet weather and showers. wet weather coming from france. going into east anglia and parts of the midlands and arriving in northern england, that rain can be heavy and could be thunderstorms in there as well. away from here it is broadly speaking a day of sunshine and showers.
10:58 pm
some sharp showers and if you arriving in scotland and northern ireland where are around 13—60 degrees. we may see some more sunshine across the south of england and east anglia but those temperature are where they should be for this time of year. low pressure is going to dominate our weather for the rest of this week. the centre of which is probably going to bt the south—west of the uk and we will see wetter weather pushing its way northwards. some sunshine on friday but showers will develop quickly in england and wales, some heavy thundery downpours are not as many showers in scotland and northern ireland. again temperature is 14—16, cloud coming into northern ireland and southwest later on in the day. some wet weather and an area of the pressure arrives on saturday. it will be cool, wet and windy. much drier weather and better weather on the way for
10:59 pm
the london marathon on sunday. goodbye.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm vicki young. the headlines at 11: political leaders have attended lyra mckee's funeral in belfast, where a priest received a standing ovation when he asked why it took her death to unite politicians. idea to hope that lyra's murder on holy thursday evening can be the doorway to a new beginning. -- i dare to. the sri lankan government has admitted major lapses in failing to pass on intelligence that could have prevented the suicide bombings on easter sunday, which killed 359 people. iran's foreign minister says nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe could be
