Migrants trying to get to western EU countries clash with police | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
With me are Sian Griffiths, Education Editor from the Sunday | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Times and James Millar, Political correspondent from the Sunday Post. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
The Mail on Sunday leads with Grant Schapps resignation and the scandal | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
The Telegraph reports that David Cameron is to risk a Commons | :00:37. | :00:52. | |
Grant Schapps and his wife are on the front of the Sunday Express but | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
says that up to 100 prisoners serving life sentences could be let | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
out of jail for Christmas. The Observer says that David Cameron | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
could risk a Commons vote despite a split in the Labour Party. The Times | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
also goes with the story and claims if David Cameron wins the vote, he | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
will order RAF air strikes to target the masterminds of the Paris | :01:18. | :01:18. | |
massacre. There's more on that story | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
in the The Independent On Sunday. It has a warning to Jeremy Corbyn | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
from And finally The Sunday Post has | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
a poll which says that the public cautiously back bombing | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
raids against IS, but that 74% of people fear a terrorist attack | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
on the UK within the year. We're going to start with the | :01:34. | :01:48. | |
likelihood of a Commons vote this week about air strikes over Syria. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
At least that's what the papers are speculating about. And let's look to | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
the observer first of all with the headline: | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Cameron to risk Commons vote over Syria strikes as split deepens. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Sian? It's an interesting story and it does look at though David Cameron | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
is preparing this week for a parliamentary vote, probably on | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Wednesday on British military action against Islamic State in Syria. And | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
as the headline in the strap says, this comes as Labour is deeply | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
divided over the way its MPs are going to vote, with Labour leader | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Jeremy Corbyn facing a shadow Cabinet revolt on the issue. I think | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Cameron must be pretty confident, actually, that enough Labour MPs | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
will vote with him for him to call this vote. I think he thinks he's | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
going to have a fairly comfortable win. And in one of the papers, I | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
think it's the Sunday Times, it looks as though 80 Labour MPs are | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
expected to vote with Cameron and to back the bombing. And James, it's | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
not just getting a majority, it's getting a comfortable majority. A | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
healthy majority, because obviously last time he tried to get the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Commons to back action in Syria, entirely different action, it's | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
worth pointing out, he lost in 2013. So he doesn't want to just creep | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
over the line. I was talking to Malcolm Rifkin who said it would | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
have to be a healthy majority. As a former minister, he knows a thing or | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
two about this. And it looks like he'll get a healthy majority and | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
that's why the story is about Labour, and it looks like there will | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
be a vote and the Government will win. But where that will leave | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Labour is a different kettle of fish. You sound confident that he'll | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
get the numbers. Where are they all phoning around, it's reported, to | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
try to get Labour in to target certain MPs? It's a fair point. He's | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
trying to make a compelling case, but that's to do with the healthy | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
majority, rather than the majority. It's also because there was a time | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
when you would have the usual channels and whips would talk to | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
each other and everybody would know what's going on. Nobody knows what's | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
going on inside the Labour Party, including the Labour Party | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
leadership. So it's difficult for the Government to engage what's | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
going on so the only thing they're doing is phoning up MPs and saying, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
what are you doing. And that leads us to the independent on Sunday with | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Watson telling Corbyn - you must back down. So it is the deputy | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
telling the leader what to do. James, carry on. This is quite a | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
good take on the story, I think. The new political editor at the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Independent on Sunday, so well done him for getting Watson's take on | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
this, Tom Watson's take on this. It doesn't exactly leave us much | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
clearer about what exactly is going to happen. You would think that the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
deputy telling the leader to do this might have some sort of influence, | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
but again, nobody really knows how the Labour Party is working. I spoke | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
to a Shadow Cabinet member about this and he said, "I have no idea | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
what's going to happen." And that wasn't just saying it to the papers | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
because he doesn't didn't want to give away what was going to happen, | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
he genuinely has no idea what's going to happen at the Cabinet | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
meeting on Monday. Jeremy Corbyn supporters would say that he's a man | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
of principle and sticking to his principles on this. Yes, I think | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
that that is how his young activist supporters will see it. But it does | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
seem... I mean, a number of the papers are suggesting that he will | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
actually allow Labour MPs to have a free vote, because really he has no | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
alternative. You know, the Shadow Cabinet has made it absolutely clear | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
that a number of them are prepared to defy him, so I think there will | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
be a free vote on Wednesday and the Government will get its majority. Do | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
you think that that is damaging to people's perceptions of the Labour | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Party? To have the leader saying one thing, and then all his immediate | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
management team, for want of a better description, actually | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
announce that they're going to vote completely the other way? Of course, | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
it's hugely damaging and it could possibly be a make or break issue | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
for Jeremy Corbyn. I don't know. That's why we don't know if there | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
will be a free vote. Every logic points to a free vote. But if you | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
have a free vote, two things happen. One is that the Labour Party look | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
mad and incapable of forming a Government and not a Government in | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
waiting. And the other is that Jeremy Corbyn doesn't get what he | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
wants, which is to stop the bombing. His entire career is based on being | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
a pacifist and opposing action in the Middle East. So he's trying to | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
figure out how to get that, and not necessarily listening to the votes | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
saying - you can't, you're the leading of the Labour Party now. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Zblts going to be an interesting week and speculation that the vote | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
will be called for Wednesday. But we don't have that confirmed and don't | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
know that. Of course, what do people outside the Westminster bubble | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
think? That could be revealed in part at least in Scotland in the | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
Sunday Post, James? Yes, this is very much people outside of the | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
Westminster bubble. You know, outside of the "normal people", as | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
they should be. And yes, most of them fear a terror attack in Britain | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
after the Paris attacks. That is the big headline finding from this | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
research that the terrorists who want to sew terror have sewn terror, | :07:06. | :07:19. | |
but what happens next is not clear. There is cautious there. People | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
don't want to send soldiers in to the Middle East. That's the legacy | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
of what happened in Iraq and what went wrong in Iraq. Do you think | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
that that is reflected on the wader population outside of Scotland as | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
well? I think it is. I get the feeling from people, when I talk to | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
people, there's a real reluctance and a worry about putting troops on | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the ground in Syria, and I think that it does go back to Iraq and | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
what happens in Iraq and just general fears. But I think that it | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
is interesting in this poll that 74% of the readers feared a terror | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
attack on the UK within a year. So you know, on the one hand, I think | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
people are incredibly aware of the threat posed by ISIS to Britons in | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
this country. But nevertheless, still very worried about the repurr | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
cushions if we take -- repercussions if we send troops in. Another big | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
story dominating the headlines, dominating the bulletins today is | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
the resignation of Grant Schapps from his ministerial post. And this | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
all about his resignation as Overseas Aid Minister in the | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
aftermath of all of the allegations of how the Conservative Party is | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
being run and how it treats activists and all of those | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
allegations, which are coming home. And James, resignation, or resigned, | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
exposed, doomed is the headline. Yes. The Tory Party certainly has | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
questions to answer now. The Mail on Sunday have been hammering away at | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
this for weeks and nobody has paid a huge amount of attention until the | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
last week or so, it's begun to build critical mass and now we have a | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
resignation. Grant Schapps, who was party chairman at the time of a lot | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
of allegations around bullying, blackmail and all sorts of very | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
unpleasant dealings that may or may not have been going on, has now | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
resigned. So the story is very much moving on. How far it's going to go, | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
we will have to wait and see. I suspect it's not the ends of it, but | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
the next person in the firing line is Lord Felledman, who was also | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
co-chairman -- Lord Feldman, and the father of Elliot Johnson, the Tory | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
activist who died, is still very much calling for Lord Feldman to | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
follow Grant Schapps out the door. Lord Feldman given the backing of | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
senior Conservatives at the moment. But as James is saying, the Mail and | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
the Mail on Sunday have been pushing the story in the last few weeks? It | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
is, and it's a dramatic front page there. But the story moved on after | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
an interview that the parents of Elliot Johnson gave to the Guardian | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
yesterday, which was a moving interview, and you know, on the one | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
hand, their 21-year-old son has committed suicide amid these | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
allegations that he was bullied, allegedly, by a senior Conservative | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
aide, who denies the allegations. And on the other hand, they've | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
somehow found the strength to stand up and say - yes, we've lost our | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
son, you know. But something has gone horribly wrong within the | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
culture of the Conservative youth wing, and it needs to be put right. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
And somewhere, from somewhere, they've found the strength to stand | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
up and take on the establishment, really, and say - please sort this | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
out before anybody else suffers in the way our son has suffered. And I | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
think that's very brave. Indeed. On to the Sunday Telegraph. Of course, | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
it is the first of three strikes by junior doctors due to begin on | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Tuesday. They've adjourned ACAS talks until Monday, so not much time | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
left to sort this out. And the headline there suggests, "Army is | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
poised to cover for striking NHS doctors." What do you make of that? | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
It is extraordinary, the idea that we're going to have army doctors in | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
hospitals. But on the other hand, this is only the first of three | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
strikes that the junior doctors are planning to call. And I think in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
some ways that it is reassuring that there will be army doctors there, as | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
opposed to nobody at all. But I think, and I'm hoping, hopefully the | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
ACAS talks will be fruitful and the other two strikes will not happen. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
But I would love to know what the public think about junior doctors | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
striking for the first time for 40 years, because will they feel it's | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
wrong for doctors to strike? Even in places like Great Ormond Street | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
Hospital, where children are being treated, or will they feel that | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
junior doctors have a really, really difficult time. The job is almost | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
undo-able. If you make their hours even longer, you extend it in to | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Saturday working, can the NHS... What will the future of the NHS look | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
like? OK, but the Government and across the NHS is such a sensitive | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
topic, and the Government is saying that this actually to make their | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
life better, and also to extend the case to get a more uniform service | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
across seven days? Well the Government, or the Conservative | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
Party promised the NHS. Having won the election, they now have to | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
implement it. That is more difficult than promising it, which is more | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
difficult than they're finding, of course. So yes, there is very much | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
two sides to it. You would hope that they can get around the table at | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
ACAS and find some sort of agreement, but it has become a very, | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
very bitter dispute. So I wouldn't necessarily hold out any hope that | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
there will be an agreement any time soon. And I bet that is one of the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
topics that people outside the Westminster bubble are very | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
sensitive of. Here's a story, great fun. Sunday Times. Riddle of Sally | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
from Bolton. And this is all about a question worth ?100 million, which | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
is a painting that somebody says is by Leonardo, but a forger says he | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
did it in 2007 and based it on somebody who worked in the Co-op. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
It's such an amazing story. It is the only light story on the front | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
paging of tomorrow's papers. And as you say, it is the chalk drawing of | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
a 15th century Italian woman, possibly. So is it a Da Vinci, or | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
was it drawn in the 1970s by Britain's most prolific forger, who | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
used to operate out of his parent's council house, and was it inspired | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
by a Co-Op supermarket worker called Sally. And the forger was jailed in | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
2007 for forgery. And he claims that he drew this woman, the work is | :13:44. | :13:53. | |
called La Bella Principisa, if I have the pronunciation correct. And | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
I love the headline, Riddle of Sally from Bolton. Should you believe a | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
forger, given that the career is based out of it. 15th century or | :14:06. | :14:05. | |
1970. She looks 19 # 0s to me. You think it is a forgery? She looks | :14:06. | :14:24. | |
quite 1970s. You are very kind to try to pronounce it in Italian, I | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
think it was. What should it be, if it is 1970s? OK. Thank you very | :14:30. | :14:42. | |
much. Coming up next, | :14:43. | :14:45. |
