With me are rosamund urwin, whos a columnist for the london Evening Standard and michael booker, Deputy Editor of the daily express. Good evening to you both. Before we speak to them both, lets take a look at some of the newspaper front pages. The guardian leads on the condemnation by the United Nations over Donald Trumps alleged racist comments. The president should didnt get his hopes up about getting an invitation to the Royal Wedding according to the daily mails lead story. The mirror covers the allegations of racism by chelsea Coaching Staff in the 1990s. A smiling image of Angela Merkel is on the ft, which reports on the german chancellor reaching an agreement to form a three party coalition. Tips on how to halt dementia, are the top story in the express. The sun says theres pressure on the bbc to sack radio four presenterjohn humphrys over comments he made off air about equal pay. The telegraph has an interview with the presenter, in which he says he didnt know he was being recorded. And also reports that people are being turned away from pharmacies without flu jabs because of low supplies. Meanwhile, the daily star has some alternative advice for keeping the bug at bay. Must read that in more detail. Let us must read that in more detail. Let us begin. Kick us off pleased with the guardian, a lot of coverage of this. United nations, trumps remarks racist and shameful. We wont have the word itself he is said to have used but people might not know quite whats going on here, please enlighten them. Yet again, Donald Trumps bigmouth has landed him in trouble and he has been very rude about Central American countries and african nations and this has resulted in the un, human rights spokesman saying its impossible to view his remarks as anything other than racist. American diplomats are being summoned for approach to leaders. Im sure a lot of things get said in private by all sorts of american president s but this was in a slightly bigger for . It was. A democrat senator has come forward to sake he said these things. Trump at first, and this is the interesting thing, he had initially allowed the white house not to deny the reports of his comments. It has been said by plenty of people but actually these kind of remarks played very well with his base. He has admitted he used tough language but later went on to say hed never used those words, but the denial was rather slow to come out. In being undiplomatic is not entirely new. This is the guy you wa nt entirely new. This is the guy you want to build the wall because he accuse mexicans of being rapists. This is something he is kind of use to and used either for or behind it. We we re to and used either for or behind it. We were discussing thisjust before, there is a lot of people very angry, there is a lot of people very angry, the un would be very angry with this and call it racist, but we are still yet to see the people who voted for him in the first place. We dont really hear what they are saying about donald trump at the moment. Those in the liberal media and western media. They think hes a terrible guy. Trumps usual enemies stop where exactly, getting upset every single time. The same people again in this country who were very happy that he wont be coming over to open the embassy as well. Sadiq khan at the london mayor saying that hes not got our values and things like that, but does it matter to the people in america . Are they paying attention to the fact he isnt coming to open the embassy . M attention to the fact he isnt coming to open the embassy . Is the point being reached that even he might be going a bit far, do you think . Or is it more of the same . There are plenty of senior republican politicians worried about this, particularly people in swing states, who are concerned they only need to lose a few voting points and it turns off a chunk of their voters they dont want to lose. 0bviously, young people in america overwhelmingly rejected donald trump, those who voted, and i think all this stuff to them, they must be looking at their country, a lot of young people, and thinking how on earth as our country become this . I think infouryears, earth as our country become this . I think in four years, yes maybe this stuff does build up. You get the impression with him anyway, when you see the Michael Wolff thing,. The book that came out . Yes, that hes prepared to walk away at some point. And the family are as well. It seems as though it was all of a bit of a shock to become president in the first place and he has got four years out of it and he likes playing the victim. If he is perceived to be forced out, he will play the victim forced out, he will play the victim for the rest of his life. We will never hear the end of it michael, staying with donald trump, the front page of the daily mail. As you mentioned, not coming over to open a new embassy, claiming he doesnt like the building or the location and thinks it was a bad deal, all sorts of reasons. But this is Something Else . The Royal Wedding . The daily mail had the scoop that he wasnt coming over for the empty this morning, now they are saying he will miss the Royal Wedding. This doesnt seem as incredibly well sourced because there doesnt. For prince Harry Meghan Markles big day in may, no invites have gone out yet so we in may, no invites have gone out yet so we dont know 100 . They are saying someone from the royal household, some courtier, theres a good source in the stories the guest list hasnt yet been announced, there is no reason he would be invited, though. There is this debate the former president , because his best friends with harry and shares his liberal values that of Meghan Markle, would he be invited . This doesnt seem as cut and dried as this mornings daily mail, saying he wasnt coming to open up the embassy. But i cant imagine he would be invited. It is a lot smaller wedding this time than kate and williams wedding. They are trying to contain it at windsor, so i wouldnt imagine it would be a big song and dance and 0bama didnt go to that wedding. You dont make too much buzz about things that are not happening he would be interesting if 0bama does get the invite. Happening he would be interesting if obama does get the invite. Yes, it would be seen as a snub. Trumps ego is fragile and would see it as a snub. It is in a state occasion and the guest list is drawn up by Buckingham Palace but the government has a consultancy role. We know Meghan Markle loathed him and wrote and called him divisive and misogynistic. The other problem is if that would be his first visit to this country, then all the security problems, would we want this huge protest outside of Windsor Castle for the Royal Wedding . I protest outside of Windsor Castle forthe royalwedding . I cant imagine he would be invited to this wedding. It says donald trump faces the embarrassment of not being invited. I think that is one thing he doesnt suffer 0k, he doesnt suffer ok, lets go now to the daily telegraph. Would you get us on this . This is about the dreaded flu. The headline probably says its all, chemist runs short of flu jab. Yes, weve now on not only got to fear the australian flu but also the japanese flu and today. Sorry, today the telegraph is saying people across the country were being turned away from pharmacies who had run out of stock of the vaccine. So there is a shortage in cumbria and the telegraph has contacted branches of routes across the midlands. It is not a cause for panic straightaway. Boots said today, it has told the telegraph they would be being resupplied and swiftly. 0ne telegraph they would be being resupplied and swiftly. One of the things that comes up later in the story is high street chemist said they avoided overstocking the jabs because they are only reimbursed by the nhs for vaccines that are used, so the nhs for vaccines that are used, so they only keep quite a small supply in stores because they dont wa nt to supply in stores because they dont want to lose money. It does point out there is a stockpile somewhere. They dont exactly where that there isa they dont exactly where that there is a stockpile. I dont think there is a stockpile. I dont think there isa is a stockpile. I dont think there is a need to panic. As they say, it could be the worst flu season for seven years. It is not at that point yet
