With me are are the broadcasters penny smith and charlie wolf. Good evening. A quick look at some of those front pages. Borisjohnsons decision to cancel his trip to russia as well as Liberal Democrat mps here. The sunday times says britain and america are preparing to accuse russia of complicity in war crimes in syria. The Sunday Telegraph says Vladimir Putin will be told to pull troops from syria and drop support for president assad in a uk us plan being spearheaded by mrjohnson. The independent says the european parliaments Chief Brexit Negotiator wants theresa may to consider a plan to help british people who want to keep their eu citizenship. The sunday mirrors leads with a story about the former spice girl mel b. And the observer leads with a story about len mcclusky, the leader of the unite union, who wants the labour party to investigate mps who he says are plotting against him and Jeremy Corbyn, lets begin. Charlie, you start us lets begin. Charlie, you start us off . G on lets begin. Charlie, you start us off . The. On ff us off . The Mail On Sunday has what many papers have. As johnson was meant to go to moscow next week and has now cancelled for Rex Tillerson to go over. People are now saying he is now americas poodle. Yes. Its as he pulls out at has launched a furious attack on borisjohnson after he cancelled his moscow summit. They have accused the Foreign Secretary of making up excuses, making way for Donald Trumps diplomatic drive. I dont really see if theres a big problem with this story. If he wants americans and let them with the americans and let them handle this and i think it means he isa handle this and i think it means he is a poodle. Except there is a suggestion in the mail that Boris Johnson said he shouldnt be going because they were the people who did the bombing, so we would just be the hors doeuvre before the main meal. That thing about the poodle, the lib dems leader has also echoed that remark. I guess the lib dems, thats still where they have to reach two. Moving to the meat of the story itself. There is the suggestion that we and the americans will say, this is what you will do, mr putin. They say he should withdraw Military Support from damascus and begin a transition to a new regime, which is of course also a change. This change of course also a change. This change of regime, which has been off the table for a while. This claim of russian combo city rests on analysis q; e,. | rib. rgciz an ,. , ; ; ;. That a qi i. | rib. rgqb r. ,. , ; ; ;. That a drone flew fiftifl fir . Before i off town shortly before i off assads warplanes dropped a serengeti bomb. They are investigating whether a russian plane of the hospital. Sarin gas. Different from the days where you could tell mr putin after the election that he could be more flexible because he doesnt have any more elections to fight, as he told i think it was the Prime Minister at the time. That famous quote. I think this is russia and assad and others who will have to do some recalculating and thats a good thing. They are going to say, we have a president now who they may have a president now who they may have written off as a foolish game show reality star, property developer, but this is a guy who gets pretty serious about something and. Also a president who and. Mind pretty he has his mind pretty dramatically. He has done a complete reversal of what he said before the election and afterwards. In the mail they suggest he reacted to a tweaked and thats what changed his mind. Im sorry to have some effect on him emotionally, but at the same time when you are sitting around the Cabinet Table and you have your head of the department of defence, general mattis, and your other advisers saying they were horrified by what has happened, it isnt enough to trigger what happened. People will also say that its about him getting the people to stop talking about how close he was to russia. That is another aspect. The one thing that will help the relationship between them is i think putin at least has respect for someone putin at least has respect for someone who has power and know how is to use it. They may not like each other in the end but at least there will be respect for the man that wasnt there before, we respect he didnt have for obama. Presumably they realise they cant predict what he will. And it will be he will do. And it will be interesting to see whether this does prompt any peace talks. After all thatis prompt any peace talks. After all that is what we want to happen here. We want the situation with serie a to be sorted out. And diplomacy only works when it is backed up with force. Can you get us started on a follow up to the stockholm, the awful thing that happened there. They talk about the bomb that fail to go. They found a device this morning and that adds a whole new dimension. It is bad enough that someone dimension. It is bad enough that someone could kill you with a car. When the police went to investigate, a bomb could have gone. It is a horrible as 7, a bomb could have gone. It is a horrible theizrht 7, 7 do how do how they do how they kill do how they kill people. Do how they kill people. These 5. 25. Ixseiz; l iiiegg . L . . ;. . 1. 711. Sort of people, without making the sort of people, without Making Excuses for the ira or defending them, at least there was some sort ofan them, at least there was some sort of an endgame, where there are certain things they wouldnt have done because it wasnt in their interest. The sorts of people we are dealing with now, there isnt any endgame, other than wanting to kill westerners and expand the caliphate. It seems to me that we are dealing with people who may not even have a coherent idea as that. Theyjust get attracted and they are the most days people of all. There was an interesting article recently saying that this is reallyjust about gangs, an excuse to kill. And i suppose the sad thing is that we are talking about car bombs and lorry bombs, which is a fact of life in certain places in the world. Lets stay on the Sunday Telegraph front page. Keep charges. Tip charges. Explained to us what is proposed and why. Councils are to be banned from charging Diy Enthusiasts to dispose of their rubbish. Some councils are still charging unfair fees of up to fourquid, still charging unfair fees of up to four quid, despite whitehall trying to stamp out the practice. This is because of the problem of even a small charge deterring people from going and getting rid of this stuff, so going and getting rid of this stuff, so they keep it in beauty spots, parkland, anywhere. The end of the street. Anywhere. So they are saying, really, we need to stop charging for it. Sorry to correct you, but in a sense the real story is the fact that councils dont seem to have enough money because of what is being put on them, social care a prime example. They are trying to figure out ways to raise funds because they arent getting it from central government. Im sure you would find the same with and im Lebo Diseko In with labour. You rely on the state more and more and its a black hole that cant be filled. To be clear, it isntjust general waste, it is quite specific things. Things like soil and diy materials, its a grey area, isnt it . The sort of thing i would get rid of. You take a whole lot of shells down and think, what am i going to do with this . You put up a few of them and then you think, that looks rubbish, take them to the tip we had a major clear out the other day. To be fair, there was a half hour cue getting into my Recycling Centre the other day. I actually cut someone off because i thought they were parked at the side of the road and i didnt see all of the other cars weve heard that one before i appear to have jumped the queue very quickly, labour mps accused of dirty tricks in union votes. This is the unite union len mccluskey. I think he is the guy who owns. Well, his union contributes quite a lot of money. Yes. Anyway, he is accusing. Theres a group of people made up of people in the right of the party who are using. They say they are using The Dark Arts. In order to do what . In order to elect his opposition, the opposition. Theres another gentleman. Mr coin. He is saying that. Remember those people who are running the campaign, The Dark Arts is in their dna. Normally with political elections it is unique they have brought this in with the trade unions and he says they are trying to get Jeremy Corbyn out. They say what is most likely usually happens. In this case it may be the fa ct happens. In this case it may be the fact thatJeremy Corbyn isnt that great leader, unfortunately. You mentioned horses. The Grand National is coming. A wonderful story about what happened, the winner. Who owns the horse . What happened, the winner. Who owns the horse . Two what happened, the winner. Who owns the horse . Two owners, they are widows and they decided to come together, they have a spare £60,000. They bought a horse. They said a lot of gin had been quaffed. Their husbands played golf together, hence the name. It isjust a lovely story. Everybody is so chuffed. The funny thing is, my uncle bought me one when i was young, and his name was arthur. The Grand National is something you dont vote on form. Its always that this one is an outsider. The one i would have backed how many times have we heard that . Once i put a fiver on a horse and it came in as you and i got Something Like 870 quid back. Thats the
