tv   The Papers  BBC News  June 26, 2019 10:40pm-11:01pm 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 pensions minister, baroness altmann and mihir bose, the writer and broadcaster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. and before we show you them — a warning that some do show the photograph of the bodies of a father and his daughter who drowned attempting to cross into the us. the i leads on the conservative leadership race. it claims that 20 mps are preparing to block borisjohnson‘s plans for a no—deal brexit. but the metro focuses on borisjohnson‘s comments at a hustings event tonight that the chances of a no—deal brexit for the uk are ‘a million to one‘.
10:41 pm
the telegraph front page also features mrjohnson, with a story about his plans for a ‘points—based' immigration system. the front page of the mirror leads on its campaign to save free tv licenses for older people; it sasteremy hunt is committed to retaining the benefit if he becomes prime minister. and the guardian leads with a warning from care industry bosses, who say tens of thousands of older and disabled people risk losing help with things like washing and dressing if a funding crisis is not addressed. that's it for the papers this hour. let's begin with with the guardian and that harrowing picture. of oscar ramirez and his daughter, only a few months away from becoming two years old. every messy of the photograph of the little boy from four years ago those being plucked out of the
10:42 pm
mediterranean added the time of the crisis. and one cannot help but feel extremely sorry for being teddy make these children being dragged out of these children being dragged out of the country that they are born in, hoping that they can find a better life and just ending up like this. it is so heartbreaking and there are not any easy answers, clearly what is happened here was somebody trying to break the law, taking the family into a country where they were not entitled to be and that was something we have before. but what we found was the public backlash after seeing those photos, we can't treat people like that. let's try and see if we can find better ways to let the men, but a year or so later, we had brexit and we had this idea that we must keep immigrants out. there is a disconnect between
10:43 pm
wanting to be the benevolent, kind, welcoming country that, i think, many people want to feel a part of. but the reality that there are border controls and millions of citizens in a country who want not to have to take in emigrants from anywhere in the world who would then have to be supported by that country. these people are coming in here with nothing. accept the point of people trying to break the law, but that picture was not what led to brexit, brexit was a long train of immigration, people not understanding or not being told properly about the european union and the collapse and what it meant. but two related questions, one is but as a prosperous country duke
10:44 pm
was? does it have a responsibility? it advertises itself as a prosperous country, does it have a responsibility beyond its borders and if it has, how does a cope with the responsibility? that is a very important question because the whole history and in particular, the migration that we had in europe, i not saying it was directly related but some of it is due to western intervention, destabilising regimes which are then taught to be terrible regimes and as a result they have been replaced by dreadful regimes which has increased the flow of migration. but that doesn't account for the pictures we are seeing. but they've also been a long history of how americans have interacted with the backyard. what have they done. they are absolutely right to have control of the comes then. the sort of image, which can contrast with the statue of liberty bring me your
10:45 pm
poor and humble masses and then all the ones that came from europe and the ones that came from europe and the 20th century, including donald trump's family and then the sense often migration brings new ideas, new opportunities that can generate wealth but in the short term it often brings us this strain. doctor singh that he hated seeing the photo but he thinks he makes the case for his argument of a more restricted policy to actually get the message across to people that you're risking your life and actually what you will find in the united states is neither a welcome nor a particularly great scenario for your family. remember, when he saw those pictures from syria and he said it's a dreadful thing that's happened in at the same time, the next tweet will be totally different in his, depending on what
10:46 pm
time it's made him picture he's saying, there is no real relation between any basic thought there. but also recently, this is an awful position where children were literally snatched away from the pa rents literally snatched away from the parents and separated. i find it almost impossible to justify. these children have been taken away, it is not their choice, it was their pa rents not their choice, it was their parents choice and then to be ripped away from their families as well, i just think that is really inhumane and that is not something that is the fault of the migrants directly, they would not have imagined that that would happen. will see if we have a clear idea of it's happening in the united states, because as i sit here they are debating the extra funding for the border. there is an obligation to try to help mitigate the human costs. what about the funding for the wall? that is part of the fight, their words of the money will be used and taken from
10:47 pm
they hope will be spent on the people to being spent on concrete, so people to being spent on concrete, so we'll see other forms of border. let's talk about the uk border mall have after brexit. borisjohnson foster to restore faith in uk borders. what he is proposing is the syste m borders. what he is proposing is the system that we spoke about for years, everyone has said this for like 25 years. i remember writing articles in the telegraph about the point system in saying that we should get... we need the schools. the workers are coming in and must be able to speak english and must have a job. the difference to what the government is saying without that and so on, it is very interesting. 90 workers that come m, interesting. 90 workers that come in, they must, the employer must
10:48 pm
offer them £30,000 salary. is a minimum so they are not dependent on... absolutely and as the crisis in the indian restaurant industry, with great respect, not many romanians cook indian food. and 30,000 plus 50,000, that is a lot of money to pay and i am entirely in favour of the system provided that they work at properly and fairly so it really works. we also need to make sure that we have the right mix of skills, we need skilled workers but we also need unskilled workers. workers who can acquire skill. particularly in the agricultural sector and care sectors where we cannot find british people who want to do that work or are willing to it if we don't have. actually, the kind
10:49 pm
of demand is outstripping the supply. and they seemed be suggesting that what he wants to do is stop the foreign workers taking britishjobs but as is stop the foreign workers taking british jobs but as you are saying, it is not about taking britishjobs. it's about wanting to do those jobs. in the main message is, we have to focus on the skills that we need rather than politically driven targets. if the economy is growing in their sectors we need workers otherwise we don't have much output, thenit otherwise we don't have much output, then it seems you cutting off your nose to spite your face if you say we re nose to spite your face if you say were not going to take any ambulance because we've taken some arbitrary target and then we had sajid javid when he was briefly a candidate basically trashing the migration target which theresa may stuck with.
10:50 pm
questions mr reference to this. that's dead. i will appreciate it in with the eu workers, free movement is not just with the eu workers, free movement is notjust come here and do whatever you want. if you do not have a job within three months, we could send them back in, but we never did. boris is also said to come which i think most people would accept, they shouldn't be automatically entitled to benefits within the eu, the rules would allow you. our system is different. irememberthis allow you. our system is different. i remember this all came up with david cameron trying to negotiate the brexit referenda videos something that would be enough to keep people and and i was on the issues, putting out these different systems. we are not a fire, and other photograph of borisjohnson.
10:51 pm
this morning was taken relatively recent. these boris johnson pictures come up in the internet. you cannot stop them. where does he make these things up from i do not know. the idea that, somehow, we are going to magically be able to get a deal with the eu before the 31st of october, the eu before the 31st of october, the new parliament does not even start sitting into the ist of november, so i'm not quite sure who we are going to be negotiating with. the eu have said time and time again and once again today that the negotiations are finished. there's almost no chance that we won't be able to achieve a new deal within a few weeks of a new prime minister coming in and summer holidays.
10:52 pm
somebody is not quite on the right page here. you're absolutely right, they have done a deal and they tried to pass it but borisjohnson being the clever chap that he is, creative, creative energy, he will come back with a piece of paper saying that there is a deed. and therefore say, i have got what you wanted. let's play devils advocate. is it possible that three weeks or months to the deadline, somebody blinks and it may be, as a proportion of the population. the damage to the eu economy come the as predicted, it will be big, big smaller than they would be. a a lot to lose, we have tried everything
10:53 pm
yet, stop by threatening to bring the whole house down. this is exactly my fear. you have a prime minister who has created an artificial deadline and is not something that is set in stone, it happens to be what theresa may agreed last time. we could have done december, we could have done some of the time but the fact is the european parliament does not start sitting into the ist of november so the idea that somehow or other, through the summer, we're going to red up something that was negotiated for over two years and get something else is scarcely credible. so what is left is this giant game of bluff where we are going to go to the 31st of october and we're going to threaten no deal and we're going to tell everybody that we are leaving and you've got to believe us, we
10:54 pm
really m ea n and you've got to believe us, we really mean it, we are going, on the hope that they will blink and give us hope that they will blink and give us what we want because they be too frightened that we enough to jump off the cliff because the damage that we all know, all the government officials show, even those who are proposing no deal it made it will be deceptive for a while. in other words, pretty awful and yet, somehow, our country is being gambled on a hope that someone else to be sensible. i do not get it. maybe boris is hoping that it will bea maybe boris is hoping that it will be a difference of opinion between them and emmanuel looks like he is playing the hard guy, merkel, who knows, boris being such a creative person of such energy and coming up with ideas, may be can drive a tank through them and do something. an u nfortu nate through them and do something. an unfortunate analogy. there's always
10:55 pm
the eyes. the front page of the eye. jeremy hunt taking a selfie with a bunch of people who are not the 20 mps that lined up to back and deal parliament has already said that they won't let us leave with no deal. so what is borisjohnson‘s plan if parliament won't let us, is he overwriting it. jeremy hunt presenting himself as a sort of deal—maker who presenting himself as a sort of deal— maker who could work presenting himself as a sort of deal—maker who could work and the eu would reject. but not necessarily the ist of october. would reject. but not necessarily the 1st of october. i have to say, a lot of people like having some of these boris, they are now having an interest but that. thank you very much, i look forward to seeing you again in about half an hour. our second hit, plenty of more to talk about a half past 11. that's it for the papers this hour.
10:56 pm
don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. ros and mihir will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and i'll be here at eleven with the day's main stories. right now though, it's the weather. well the heat has been extraordinary in europe today. records have been broken and it might get hotter over the next day or two. here in the uk, the temperatures are set to rise as well, different parts of the country will have the highest temperatures on different days. friday and then saturday. this is the big picture across the sahara, obviously here, the deep red colours showing that extremely hot air. if you look at the wind currents blowing out of the sahara across the extreme west of the mediterranean year, spain, france and just about clipping the very far a southwest and west
10:57 pm
the very far southwest and west of the uk. of course is the hot air moves north, it cools, but we are not going to get those extremely high temperatures in fact, over the next day or two we could still see highs of 45 degrees to the south of france, spain and more like 32 here in the uk. he is well looks like first thing on thursday morning, here well looks like first thing thursday morning, temperatures around 13 in london, but a nip in the air, only 5 degrees so, really chilly. and then thursday is looking sunny and wall—to—wall sunshine right from the word go, perhaps 26 degrees in the lowlands of scotland, will probably hit mid 20s for the south to the north sea coast still a little bit fresher there around the upper teens. here is friday's weather forecast, the big high pressure is with us and it is dominating the weather across a large chunk of the continent. now on friday, it looks as though the hot air will be coming into france and affecting southwestern parts of the uk which will be quite breezy and into western scotland, here is where you see the highest temperatures possibly into the high 20s and east of the country
10:58 pm
still relatively cool, some 10 degrees or lower. and then on saturday, there will be a subtle shift in the wind direction and will be coming straight out of france and this time it looks as though central southern england and in fact much of england will be getting the highest values and more showers and cloud here in the far west, but temperatures will probably reach around 32 in the london area and just shy of 30 across the midlands and into yorkshire as well. belfast will be warmer at 22. that was saturday, sunday completely different in the fact the winds will be blowing off the atlantic, pushing the heat away back into central and eastern parts of europe so there will be a dramatic drop in the temperature with some showers in the northwest as well. goodbye.
10:59 pm
11:00 pm
this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 11:00pm: as the us—mexico border crisis worsens, the mother of a man pictured dead next to his baby toddler after trying to enter the country says she feared it could happen. asa as a mother, you get the feeling. i cried a lot when we said goodbye, because in my heart, ifelt it cried a lot when we said goodbye, because in my heart, i felt it was going to be the last time i would hug him. president trump said he hated seeing the photograph, but blamed the democrats for obstructing his tough border policies. also coming up: outrage as the labour party readmits chris williamson after an investigation into comments he made about the party's handling
