tv The Papers BBC News May 20, 2022 11:30pm-12:03am BST
11:30 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines... hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the daily mirror columnist susie boniface, and ali miraj, who's a columnist at the article. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the telegraph, which has an interview with the foreign secretary liz truss. it says she wants to arm moldova with increased support against russia. the daily express leads with an exclusive claiming a number of royal family members discreetly took in ukranian refugees. the daily star has dedicated its front page to chancellor rishi sunak and his wife's £730 million fortune, as revealed in the sunday times rich list. the same story is on the front
11:31 pm
of the mirror too, which also reflects on the evidence from the so—called wagatha christie trial. a different lead for the guardian, which says a new police race plan due to be launched on tuesday will see forces commit to being institutionally anti—racist. and the i goes with internal conservative party friction over the cost of living crisis — quoting sources who complain of a lack of long—term economic plan from the prime minister and chancellor. so, let's begin... ali, do you want to kick us up for the guardian story, police chiefs to apologise for racism? i the guardian story, police chiefs to apologise for racism?— the guardian story, police chiefs to apologise for racism? i would prefer if the police — apologise for racism? i would prefer if the police didn't _ apologise for racism? i would prefer if the police didn't apologise - apologise for racism? i would prefer if the police didn't apologise and - if the police didn't apologise and just got on with theirjob, frankly. we have come a long way since 1999 when the macpherson report was to published —— was published and the met was declared institutionally racist after the appalling death of stephen lawrence in 1993. that was understandable, they were a series of failings and that report was
11:32 pm
damning. we have come a long way since then, there are issues still to be dealt with but this is partly on the back of the absolutely horrific death of george floyd in minneapolis, which was appalling and sent shock waves around the world, not only in policing circles and communities the world over, but also incorporates that have changed their policies on a whole range of thing. but this kind of kneejerk reaction when i say they are going to apologise for stuff in the past, i think is irrelevant right now. what we need is decently policing, and the question i have is how will they make this work? when on the other hand the home secretary has just announced she wants to toughen up on stop and search, which i actually agree with in areas of high crime, i think it is a sensible policy, but how does that equate with the two things? we have to maintain the confidence of certain communities while dealing with them in a decent humane manner while enforcing stop and search. i humane manner while enforcing stop and search. . �*
11:33 pm
humane manner while enforcing stop and search. . ~ ., and search. i agree with ali that the police _ and search. i agree with ali that the police should _ and search. i agree with ali that the police should be _ and search. i agree with ali that the police should be policing - and search. i agree with ali that. the police should be policing rather than fussing about but the fact that they have had monks and months of arguing about what they are going to say about racism, they have got 50 pages here, according to the guardian, after all this bitter discussion, which has all been triggered by the death of george floyd, as ali says, they are going to declare themselves institutionally antiracist, but how does that square, how does the declaration square with people's lived experiences of what the police are like? you've got the case, for example, of the team gb sprinter bianca williams and her partner, the police officers who stopped them with no good reason whatsoever, facing gross misconduct charges, but thatis facing gross misconduct charges, but that is two years on from the event which was really traumatising, and their small child was in that car
11:34 pm
with them. there is no point in the police saying they are antiracist unless they are actually antiracist, otherwise it is just words. they need to enforce this and ensure that these things are done, and in is not just a case of being antiracist, it is a case of not being misogynist, it is a case of not strip searching children, it is a case of not attracting the kind of wrong ones who would be attracted to a job that involves a uniform and a bat on and beating people up, it is making sure that the selection process for the police means that it is professional force as most of the police would like it to be. and spending months arguing about what you are going to put in a bit of paper and make a declaration is absolutely useless if you don't actually have a peaceful switch doing what they should be doing. susie, do you want to talk us through the front of the daily mail? fixed cost of living crunch or lose

an election. we can't see the figures on page six thatjustify the headlines but it is interesting, nonetheless, and as you sit in the last hour, it is not a great surprise. last hour, it is not a great surprise-— last hour, it is not a great surprise. last hour, it is not a great surrise. �* , ., _, ., surprise. any government coming out of a pandemic— surprise. any government coming out of a pandemic will _ surprise. any government coming out of a pandemic will have _ surprise. any government coming out of a pandemic will have to _ surprise. any government coming out of a pandemic will have to deal- surprise. any government coming out of a pandemic will have to deal with l of a pandemic will have to deal with a problem with the inflation and the cost of living and everything else. any government of any party has got to deal with that and with the effects of brexit and the effects of increased friction on trade. but you have got a rather fundamental issue, which is that regardless of where you vote or how you stand on the economy or small state or big state or anything else, the government that we have at the moment doesn't appear to have an economic plan, it didn't have a joined up town that we know they all want to do. they have said lots of things over the past couple of years but they have taxed a lot, they have spent a lot, we've
11:36 pm
got exactly the kind of economy and economic situation we were told was always going to be the case if you elected jeremy corbyn in a terrible communist government, and they don't seem to have a way out of it. they keep saying, rishi sunak keeps saying, i stand keep saying, rishi sunak keeps saying, istand ready keep saying, rishi sunak keeps saying, i stand ready to do more, but people need him to do more yesterday, and he hasn't done it. and we've got rishi sunak elsewhere being declared as one of the richest men in the country. so, he is not been affected by the cost of living. i don't begrudge him his success but i don't begrudge him his success but i don't begrudge him his success but i do rather wonder whether we've got people running the country who know what it is like to stand at the till and find yourself to plan 20 short and find yourself to plan 20 short and having to put something back on the shelf. £2 and 20 p. and i think they will struggle to understand how people up and down the country are doing that. people up and down the country are doinu that. a, , people up and down the country are doinu that. , _ people up and down the country are doinuthat. _

pandemic. it was thought everyone would have a bit of crunch, especially those who have got their money stored in all kinds of different places, but they seem to have survived absolutely fine, which is a weight of all our shoulders, i'm sure. and itjust goes to show, really, that why we are all suffering and wondering how to pay their fuel bills over the winter and wondering how you are going to manage some of the shops and the supermarkets, will you still be able to manage your normal monthly shop, the trickle—down economics shows it is not really the money that is trickling down on us, is it? let's move other _ trickling down on us, is it? let's move other stories, _ trickling down on us, is it? let's move other stories, there - trickling down on us, is it? let's move other stories, there is - trickling down on us, is it? let's move other stories, there is a i trickling down on us, is it? let's move other stories, there is a rail strike looming. this is really interesting, the ft have got it, rail group prepares emergency plans as unions vote on biggest strike in 30 years. as unions vote on biggest strike in 30 ears. , . , 30 years. they are saying it is auoin to 30 years. they are saying it is going to be — 30 years. they are saying it is

11:45 pm
everything else is in large part because network rail has repeatedly been slashed and slashed and slashed and we are now at the point, and i think they have some basis for this, the unions are saying it is getting incredibly unsafe. and the few people who will still be using the railways, and a lot of that is frayed, it is notjust people who want to commute, our freight, frayed, it is notjust people who want to commute, ourfreight, our food travels around the country on trains. if it is not safe, then that is absolutely, well, it is disastrous, literally disastrous. one of the reasons they are bringing in these cuts right now is because of the government of that plans for this wonderful thing called great british rails ways which means network rail has to reduce its costs and what we're actually going to get is cheaper british railways which means less safe british railways. whether or not strike and whether or not they have a right to strike whether they do it fairly or not, i think that is, but the fact that the
11:46 pm
reason they are having these strikes does not feature in the ft, does not feature in the front page of the times, with a cover it, maybe it is in some mention further in the papers, but i had to dig to find out the reason fair enough on the maintenance side, it is actually... but susie how do you feel about them striking _ but susie how do you feel about them striking in— but susie how do you feel about them striking in certain stations in london _ striking in certain stations in london and the platinum jubilee weekend... london and the platinum jubilee weekend- - -_ london and the platinum jubilee weekend... ., , , weekend... dave literally said they are not weekend... dave literally said they are rrot doing _ weekend... dave literally said they are not doing that. _ weekend... dave literally said they are not doing that. they _ weekend... dave literally said they are not doing that. they habitually| are not doing that. they habitually said they are not doing that. well. said they are not doing that. well, nood, said they are not doing that. well, good. because _ said they are not doing that. well, good, because it _ said they are not doing that. well, good, because it would _ said they are not doing that. well, good, because it would have - said they are not doing that. well, good, because it would have ruined everybody's weekend. i good, because it would have ruined everybody's weekend.— everybody's weekend. i think train crashes would _ everybody's weekend. i think train crashes would ruin _ everybody's weekend. i think train crashes would ruin your _ everybody's weekend. i think train crashes would ruin your weekend. | everybody's weekend. i think train - crashes would ruin your weekend. the earliest, according to the ft, the first day of any stripe would actually be injune the 7th so it looks like that may have gone away.
11:47 pm
the ft story does say, susie, that the rmt are saying as well as the maintenance issue, they are also causing —— calling the strike because of an attack on pay and conditions. because of an attack on pay and conditions— conditions. this is what every organisation _ conditions. this is what every organisation was _ conditions. this is what every organisation was to _ conditions. this is what every organisation was to do - conditions. this is what every organisation was to do when l conditions. this is what every - organisation was to do when they want to save money, they attack payroll. in the long run, they end “p payroll. in the long run, they end up paying more to outside contractors, it is a false economy. i was struck by a figure in the times story, and it brought home to me, the rmt said it is the biggest strike since 1926, that may not be the happiest precedent for the unions but we will leave that aside, the freight trains control 72 lorries of produce, that is phenomenal, and you think how much we ran down freight in one point with all the attendant difficulties that could arrive.—

friday brought outbreaks of rain for many of us, some of the gardens needed it, mind you. there was also some blue sky and sunshine, this was the scene for a weather watcher in worcestershire during the afternoon. as we look ahead to the weekend, we keep a mixed bag, some dry weather, some wet weather, but high pressure close by on saturday so that will give a decent amount of dry weather, especially across england and wales where they will be spells of sunshine and a small chance of shower. the rain was splashing to western scotland in the afternoon, northern and eastern parts of scotland will see showers but will also hold onto brightness, temperatures up to 17 degrees in aberdeen and further south, highs of 21 in london. saturday night, we are between a warm front and a cold front, we call this a warmer sector,
11:53 pm
and that often brings a lot mist an and that often brings a lot mist an and low cloud and that will be the case, i think, and low cloud and that will be the case, ithink, on and low cloud and that will be the case, i think, on sunday morning. in that war sector, we will have some slightly warmer air so temperatures will be little bit higher on sunday, this is the detail for sunday, will be little bit higher on sunday, this is the detailfor sunday, a lot mist and murky cloud, heavier rain pushing into north—west scotland, may be northern ireland, best of the sunshine in the east where we will see higher temperatures, 2223 degrees. it looks like it will cool down as we head into monday, quite a complex weather picture for monday, some frontal systems pushing down from the north—west, this one trying to work up from the south so that could introduce showers in the south—east. elsewhere, hefty, perhaps sundry downpours, and in between those downpours, they will between those downpours, they will be some spells of sunshine. to move

into tuesday, these various weather fronts dance around the uk, they may change positions, compared with this forecast, as we get closer to that time, it is harder to be precise about the details at this stage but on tuesday i think we have a fighting chance of dry weather, spells of sunshine, still with a scattering of showers. as we move into wednesday, looks like we will see a frontal system approaching from the west, this one moving across some parts of the uk, bringing outbreaks of rain, heavy burst likely across parts of northern england, northern ireland. not so much rain further south, spells of sunshine in between the showers, temperatures in the range of 13 to 18 degrees. towards the end of the week, it looks as if high pressure will start to take a bit more control of our weather, drifting up from the south. the big question is aboutjust how far north of that area of high pressure gets, it may be that
11:55 pm
frontal systems bring some rain into northern parts of the uk. as that area of high pressure wobbles its way northwards, it is likely to introduce something little warmer, and i think we are talking about a heatwave or anything like that but temperatures may be just climbing a little from the values we will see at the beginning of the week. so, as we look towards the end of next week and the following weekend, turning drier for many is that high pressure builds, little warmer as well but there is still the chance of some rain, especially up towards the north. goodbye for now.
