11:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster penny smith and the chief sports reporter at the sun, martin lipton. welcome martin lipton. to you both. tomorrow's front pages, then. martin lipton. this evening's events in reading make the lead for the mirror, which describes the town centre stabbing as "horror in the park". that story also the leads for the express, which draws on the home secretary's message on twitter in which she said she was "deeply concerned" by the events in reading. the telegraph claims the prime minister will announce the reduction of the two—metre social distancing rule on tuesday and says borisjohnson will call for a "one—metre—plus" rule for all venues. the paper also leads with a photograph of the duke of cambridge and his children
11:32 pm
to mark father's day and his 38th birthday. those pictures feature on the front of the mail as well. the paper also says the government is pressing ahead with its plans to reopen the uk's tourism industry from the 4th ofjuly. the observer leads on a warning from psychologists that prolonged school closures due to the pandemic will lead to a crisis in child mental health. the independent says the government's decision to merge the department for international development with the foreign office will have a profound affect on the ability of the world's poorest nations to tackle coronavirus. so, let's begin. let's start with the sunday mirror which has put the stabbings in reading on its front page. horror in the park come alone nice men's rampage in broad daylight. martin, a
11:33 pm
shocking story at any time but particularly with people have not been outside so much and crime has gone down because people have been having to stay at home. this is a story which is going to be even bigger in the second editions and will dominate everything broadcast on newspapers and into monday morning. a horrific incident and understand the national wire have put out that it was a libyan asylum—seekers are apparently and this is obviously where we are trying to get all the details here. it is treated as a terrorist offence which willjust send a shiver of fear and apprehension through everyone. apparently the people sitting in the park where earlier in the day there have been a black lives matter protest. it does not appear to be lives matter protest. it does not appearto be any link lives matter protest. it does not appear to be any link at all between the two and an issue there was some suggestion that it was related to
11:34 pm
the protest and clearly it was not the protest and clearly it was not the case. it is just awful. there is no other word to say. despicable a cts no other word to say. despicable acts of random violence. the sheer speed with which these things happen ta kes speed with which these things happen takes people by surprise and they cannot get out of the way. takes people by surprise and they cannot get out of the waym takes people by surprise and they cannot get out of the way. if you are sitting there in the chair, you don't think of the blow coming at you is going to have a knife. how would you be preparing to react to that? this is just would you be preparing to react to that? this isjust a reminder that no matter what we think we are doing in the world there is a lot of other things out of our control and this would appear to be one of those and i know that there are plots being blocked by security services all the time, every day, every week. but one lone lunatic can slip through the net because... penny, it will shock the town of reading because it has
11:35 pm
been a peaceful period of time in the last few months. this is the thing martin was saying. there are almost not any word to describe how appalling it is. these people at the black lives matter protest which was people and that they are sitting in the afternoon sunshine at the moment all of us have been focused on this virus which can kill you slowly. and here is somebody walking amongst us with murder in their hearts and death has come swiftly and those poor families, just one momentjust sitting there as you say enjoying a bit of going outside and enjoying the afternoon air and then this. and i was of the people who were injured as well. let's move on from that story. as you said, martin, there will be much more reporting on that later but the sunday telegraph,
11:36 pm
penny, one metre plus the new rule that will reopen the uk and we expect this announcement on tuesday. 0ther expect this announcement on tuesday. other countries had not been observing two metres anyway of late, have they? not only of late but did not and the first place because the who said at least one metre and some we nt who said at least one metre and some went to one metre and others for 1.5 metres and we are one of only three countries that went the full two metres. i think people are confused and every single day virtually i have conversations with people who say ami have conversations with people who say am i allowed to be doing this the moment? half of us don't know and now we are discovering that if you do have the one metre instead of two metres which is going to unlock pubs and restaurants in the hospitality industry you will possibly have to do something else such as wearing the mask and also i read in one of the papers we are not doing art mask properly. i know every time i see anybody with one
11:37 pm
on, they are always fiddling about and we have been told categorically in end of this for a fact that we are not supposed to touch the mask at all. and washing your hands constantly. i do hope that this is an unlocking but again it's that thing about all these people who have got these companies which they are seeing slowly disappearing and they have got to try and put up plastic caution between tables may be not going to the bar and you have to have your mask on and order your pie. i wonder how many people go. and how do you drink your pie through a mask? that's true. the daily mail on sunday talks about holidays from the 4th ofjuly at the moment businesses you might have to ta ke moment businesses you might have to take advantage of that have to guess how to get ready. therein lies the problem. hopefully we'll have some clarity from the prime minister on tuesday when he gives his way
11:38 pm
forward speech. let's be honest, the message here has been so mixed and so message here has been so mixed and so all over the place over the last few months. people simply do not know. where we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to be doing, we need clarity and we need certainty and yes, of course there isa certainty and yes, of course there is a hugely difficult balance between the economy and health. we know that this is a typically difficult dilemma for everybody in the economic cost of this virus has been huge. but peoples livelihoods are massive and we have to find a way out. i think it will be really positive if we can start to have an opening of the british holiday market and that would be great. i think is betterfor market and that would be great. i think is better for people who are trying to earn a living but also for people and their peace of mind. you need to know exactly what is possible and where you can go and how you can open up businesses, restau ra nts, how you can open up businesses, restaurants, ice cream parlors and whatever that might be. people don't
11:39 pm
know and they need to know and they need certainty and then need a bit of leadership. the observer, school closures trigger uk child mental health crisis and for some more than others especially. talking about educational psychologists saying that what school gives children is a sense of routine and we know that. they are missing routine and missing teachers and missing playtime but particularly as we know from marcus rashford, the people who are the most underprivileged are the ones who have suffered the most. you only have to look at the percentages of the children who have been set work and are actually doing the work and see being able to be helped by parents as a people of course their parents as a people of course their parents are stressed and worried aboutjob parents are stressed and worried about job and if they are in parents are stressed and worried aboutjob and if they are in a parents are stressed and worried about job and if they are in a job they are going off to that job and
11:40 pm
they are going off to that job and the rest of it, and they are saying that they need to do a whole load of things. they need to not purchase nurseries because nurseries are going bust and you need to have it school funding restored for up to 18—year—olds and have mental health counsellors in every school and there so many things they are asking and whilst you could say that all sounds absolutely brilliant, how are we going to pay for this when we have got more more people who were going to be unemployed? where will the tax come from? the problem is a very long—term problem and if you don't address them. the state of education and the exacerbation of the divide between the poor and the wealthy in education outcomes is going to be hugely affected by what is going on. the need to be moves made. but also as she said someone has to pay for and one of the parts of the manifesto is a common
11:41 pm
university tuition fees. the universities have got to be funded. it isa universities have got to be funded. it is a difficult dilemma for everyone, there are no easy answers. and also there will be a prioritisation of the expenditure on resources because we've only got a finite pot. and we have got increasing demands for it from a variety of sources and accounts with what we have gone through in the last four months. staying there for a moment with a comment on steve mcqueen, the british director and artist, attacking racism in the british film and tv industry, calling it shameful for the failure to diversify the workforce. yes, he says the country is far behind america representing the bame population. he knows. he is a great success story and an oscar director and an incredible representative of the british film industry. he knows. if he says it, it's right. simple as
11:42 pm
that. whether there will be a move, there needs to be moved to address big issues and needs to be a determination to do so. we will stick with this. and have to be a sustained effort, notjust projects which seem to wither on the vine. that's the thing. he isjust saying i've had enough of people who are going this is appalling and terrible and you've actually got to go and do something. and i think really what he is saying is there needs to be much more effort put in into giving people a leg up and a leg in. and thatis people a leg up and a leg in. and that is the thing he says and he is talking about seeing blood people not necessarily just on—screen talking about seeing blood people not necessarilyjust on—screen but also behind the scenes and —— black and asian mixed ethnic, but everywhere. because as martin says, we should be doing anyway. there is a terrible squeak coming from somewhere. i don't know what it is in our apologies who will get the
11:43 pm
oil can out. let's finish with the sunday telegraph and a comment from you with forget a logjam baby boom, there will be 75,000 fewer births expected. not printed a few months back. -- lockdown baby boom. that is the point that a few months back when it all happened that even though it was appalling and terrible and people were scared at the same time, we did not know how long it was going to be and how long it would feel. and also how were we we re would feel. and also how were we were going to be aboutjobs because of the beginning, we were still feeling perhaps ridiculously positive and then of course we are just more more scared than i think i can just more more scared than i think i ca n totally just more more scared than i think i can totally understand people just saying just not now. not now and perhaps not forever. it is a huge undertaking to have a child even when you are feeling that you can afford it, martin. actually. but if you are concerned about where the money comes from, and accurately
11:44 pm
makes it difficult with their our house was opened in the country because of the impact on finances and kids are expensive, let's be honest. they just need and kids are expensive, let's be honest. theyjust need things to him and they need shoes and then he shoes in any close in food and all of these things and where they come from? you of these things and where they come from ? you have of these things and where they come from? you have to have the money coming ini from? you have to have the money coming in i understand people might wa nt to coming in i understand people might want to be reluctant to add to that bird that even if they might want to have children, they would plan to have children, they would plan to have babies in the next 18 months who are going to decide against it now and i can well understand that. people not sure when or if they are going to get back to work or if they will have a job to go back to. they are saying in one of the papers today that it is going to be another few million and it just today that it is going to be another few million and itjust beggars belief. it isjust so appalling having that hanging over you and it's amazing that people are able to even get through the day with worry. lovely to see you both down the
11:45 pm
line. i wonder how long it will be until i can have you back in here and while i'm guessing but anyway you look lovely both of you, nice to see you and that's before you have even had a holiday. thank you both. i wanted to show you something. this is the kind of service you get from peter when he is floor manager. the print was too small on my running order to look at that beautiful handwriting and he wrote everything for me. that is what the kind of service you get from mr bradley. that is it. thanks to penny smith and martin lipton. and of course peter. next, it's the film review, but from all of us, it's goodnight. see you soon.
