Charismatic leaders, president ron. He is in texas President Trump. He is in texas President Trump. He is in texas President Trump. He is being credited with handling the crisis pretty well so far. Hes very keen in making sure that this is not his George W Bush katrina comparison and he wants to look like he has a handle on the situation, dealing with it. He hopes he comes across statesman like, but that is betrayed by what he has put out on twitter. He almost has a childlike excitement when the storm was coming in, peppered with exclamation marks, and he used the word wow which seems and he used the word wow which seems a bit wrong in tone. Is he now getting the tone right now that he has gone there and looked at the damage . He did not want to get in the wake of the rescue effort, he said. In the way. Hes getting a handle on things . Im not sure on that, if you look at the comments on his press conference, he says they will congratulate themselves when it is over, but he said they want everyone to look at this and say this is the best effort that has been made. But there are many articles around in the days leading up articles around in the days leading up to this, warning trump and america of this impending crisis because flooding in this area is not new and actually flooding across america is not new and there is a real problem with how america builds oii real problem with how america builds on flood plains and the state backed insurance regime they have which allows people to rebuild houses again and again on flood zones. Interesting statistic, houston in texas has the highest proportion of these homes that have rebuilt, that have been rebuilt over and over again, and that is not something he would not be aware of, because obama tried to do something about that. But he could not get it passed. He is, no one wants to give up a benefit, if they can. And now to the metro. The First Lady Melania Trump also flew into texas. Interesting attire. She is making quite a statement with those shoes but we know that she swapped them when she got to texas. She put her flats on. Yes, but they were also quite interesting shoes, pristine white. Shiny trainers. Well, how often does one get to go to a disaster zone . Well, quite. We are used to seeing politicians in wellington boots, and so politicians in wellington boots, and so this is a change to that. Is this the kind of thing, that will detract from the president S Performance . This is just from the president S Performance . This isjust a from the president S Performance . This is just a sideshow. From the president S Performance . This isjust a sideshow. The Trump Presidency has been dogged by the idea that there is a lot of attention paid to image and not much attention paid to image and not much attention paid to policy and detail and getting the logistics of situations right. This picture on the front page of the metro does not do his presidency any favours because we might think it is funny that she is wearing stilettos, but it is not a fashion show. Nine people have died and they suspect many people will have died when the floodwaters finally go down, thousands and thousands people are not in their homes, and the effort to evacuate people has not been that organised. The warnings were already there. I wonder how long trump and Melania Trump can get away with this idea that it looks great to jet into a flood saying and change your outfit on the flight over and wear a cap saying float us, but this is a serious issue. Not the time to be worrying about your shoes. What people want to see in houston, speaking to survivors and people helping with the vestry effort, it isa helping with the vestry effort, it is a multicultural city and state and they want the visit to focus on the celebration of the Community Coming together and helping people, and this is not that. The front page of the guardian, as well, also a picture of Melania Trump. And the president there. The suggestion is that this will cost 100 billion. Yes, this is not the first. Trump was previously saying this is an event they have never seen before but that is not true. America has had floods of this scale. We were talking about the cost of this, the state backed insurance policies 25 billion in the red which is a huge amount of money and the premiums paid by people who take out insurance from this state backed fund does not cover it. The amount of money that they will have to spend to do something about this, not just putting spend to do something about this, notjust putting peoples lives back together and rebuild homes, but there is a dam about to break in houston, that is a big issue and that will not stop being an issue going forward, and so there needs to be Infrastructure Investment which will cost billions of dollars and that will be a problem in houston and also other big cities along the coastline which also have the same problem. The suggestion is that this will hurt the bottom line of the us economy and as a result it will put off america putting up interest rates. Definitely. We dont know the huge catastrophic effect this will have, people are dealing with absolute devastation and until that settles down i dont think we will have a clear picture of what happens, but outside of the economic impact, trump has started the wheels in motion to abolish the Environmental Protection and is in america which would deal with incidents like this in the future, and he took steps to wind it back. Is this going to make him think ain . Is this going to make him think again . Probably not. Laughter and now the front page of the times. North korea, the other big issue for the president in his in trade. In tray. Theresa may slams north korea over the missile fired overjapan. She is injapan at the moment. Over the missile fired overjapan. She is in japan at the moment. We love a bit of international excitement, and the possibility of a missile test and a text message saying, get down in the middle of the night for but theresa may is injapan and she has said she is outraged over the missile which has been fired overjapan. President trump has said all options are on the table, which is a less gung ho approach than when he previously had when he was warning if you go and do this again, we will take immediate action. The question we were asking before we came on air, what can people actually do . The answer is not very much. The only country that has any serious leveraged is the chinese and they are not going to wa nt chinese and they are not going to want millions of people crashing over their border if north korea colla pses, over their border if north korea collapses, so they will continue to supply them with food and oil. Exactly. If they are going to take steps to sanction in any meaningful way, china has got to be on board. That will not happen. Historically, china may not want to get behind north korea fully but it is not in their interests to have a united career their interests to have a united career that is allied to the United States so in a broader sense that is a consideration for them a united korea. Bake off, that is what is important, the front page of the metro. You are both fans, but you have missed it tonight. So you dont really have a sense of whether it is good or bad compared to what it was. I have some sense. I had tax messages from my friend who was outraged text. Who said it isnt the same and it doesnt feel the same. Noel fielding. People did not like his sideburns. Channelli same. Noel fielding. People did not like his sideburns. Channel 4 have done everything they can to keep it looking the same, the tent looks the same, the tasks are similar, Paul Hollywood is still there. But it is not quite right. Something ski something has gone awry, and a lot of adverts. Yes, they have got to try and get back some of this money, £70 million. They will miss mel and sue, i was a big fan of them. Im willing to row back on this. People willing to row back on this. People will try it, they love it so much they will still give it a shot, but he has a lot to do to win people over. The adverts could be a problem for many people. People find it difficult these days watching adverts online. That is true. You have blockers to stop use routing through the adverts, it is a tricky one for them. It is very tricky. It was a show which was held dearly to people, many people were very excited every year when it came on, and it is a challenge for them to retain that and also make money from it because it clearly demonstrates that no matter how loved something is or held dear to the hearts of the public, that doesnt mean it will make money unfortunately. We are going to leave it there. Thank you both kates. Dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its 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. Thank you both kates. Goodbye.
