hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lord kim darroch, former british ambassador to the united states and security advisor and mo hussein — former conservative advisor. thank you forjoining us. monday's front pages... the financial times lead on us lawmakers calling for trump's security threat to be assesed. i news lead with prime ministerial hopefuls sunak and truss under pressure to cut price cap on energy. the independent have an image of women

protesting in kabul a year on from the taliban takeover. the daily express focus in on liz truss�*s vows to take radical action to boost the british economy. the guardian lead with an image and quote from margaret atwood on defending free speech and the daily star tell us how to save water during the drought — "leave yer windows dirty and don't flush the loo" so let's begin... i putting pressure on liz truss and rishi sunak to cut the price cap. how? we have seen it go up and up, it's not a cap if it does not stay still. ., . ., it's not a cap if it does not stay still. ., _, w , ., , , still. no com exactly and this is the key issue — still. no com exactly and this is the key issue facing _ still. no com exactly and this is the key issue facing the - still. no com exactly and this is| the key issue facing the country. and both of the people who want to lead it and go into number ten, and clearly the bigger issue here is the

global price of gas and energy, which not one country can actually control. so even if you price cap you need to find another way to make up the rest of it, whether through borrowed or day or the state stepping in to get back on people's bills is a levy over a long period of time. i think all of these ideas are definitely being looked at and you need to be examined properly because the rice is that we are talking about a pretty astronomical. and will clearly hit people very hard in the debate in the conservatory dub at conservative party is between were targeted help, and direct payments to people. and the liz truss version of cutting taxes. the issue with the latter is does it benefit everyone that needs helptwo pensioners who are lower paid and how quickly will this

carbon future as well. it is quite easy for both rishi sunak and liz truss to talk about this now because they are not in the job there and won't have seen the real impact and won't have seen the real impact and won't have seen the real impact and won't have all the numbers. but as you've seen before, one intervention is not going to be enough, the government will have to keep on going back to the drawing board. and giving more help people, whatever the now, because that unfortunately is the reality facing in the coming months. , ., ., ~' is the reality facing in the coming months. , ., . ., months. lets look at ft. what did ou call months. lets look at ft. what did you call them? — months. lets look at ft. what did you call them? inept _ months. lets look at ft. what did you call them? inept and - months. lets look at ft. what did you call them? inept and what? i months. lets look at ft. what did l you call them? inept and what? the tram government?— tram government? inept and incompetent _ tram government? inept and incompetent and _ tram government? inept and incompetent and chaotic. - tram government? inept and | incompetent and chaotic. this tram government? inept and i incompetent and chaotic. this is after the fbi _ incompetent and chaotic. this is after the fbi search _ incompetent and chaotic. this is after the fbi search of _ incompetent and chaotic. this is after the fbi search of trump'sl after the fbi search of trump's estate with the suggestion they were
