29/11/2015 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look at the morning's papers.

With me are Kate Devlin, political correspondent

for the Glasgow Herald, and Joel Taylor, deputy editor of the Metro.

Political problems for both the Conservatives and Labour dominate

The Telegraph says Jeremy Corbyn is on the verge

of demanding that Labour MPs oppose military action in Syria -

despite most of the Shadow Cabinet being supportive of air strikes.

The paper claims this would provoke an unprecedented crisis

According to the Independent, Union boss Len McCLuskey has warned

Labour MPs against trying to oust Mr Corbyn, threatening to mobilise

The Times has more on that McCluskey warning - it says he told Corbyn's

opponents they were writing their political obituaries.

It's the Conservatives who are on the cover of The i - the paper says

Tory Party Chair Lord Feldman is to be questioned over a bullying

scandal which has already prompted the resignation of minister Grant

Pressure mounts on Feldman is the headline in the Guardian, which says

support is growing for a full independent inquiry into the

scandal. And it is more of the same in the Mail which makes reference to

the Lord Feldman's close friendship with David Cameron. And finally the

Express has something entirely different, a pill which could help

us live to 120 is being tested on humans for the first time! Let's

begin with a happy story for a change. We are all Scottish know!

They Independent. Game, set and history! A picture of a victorious

Andy Murray, overcome with joy, having beaten Belgium and helped

Britain win the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936. It is Great

Britain, but the Scots will be particularly proud, Kate. This is

such a great photograph of Andy Murray. He was so emotional when he

won, which I think is a really interesting thing. We have seen a

different side to Andy Murray in the last couple of years, ever since he

famously cried when he did not win at Wimbledon, and the way he kind of

fell to the floor with emotion today when he won, I thought that was

absolutely fabulous. They have captured it in this headline and

photograph. A really nice headline there as well. Ending the drought at

Wimbledon, she has now ended the drought in the Davis Cup.

Absolutely. Extraordinary scenes at the end there and the manner of it

as well. I thought what also was very interesting was immediately

after he was embraced by his team-mates he made a point to run

over to the Belgian team to commiserate with them, and obviously

they have been going through some hard times there recently is, so you

could see not only did it mean a lot to him, but he put on a very good

display for the country. Well done, Andy. David Goffin did play

amazingly well and on another day he would have beaten somebody else.

Let's stay with the Independent and onto the pressing issue of air

strikes and what is happening in the Labour Party, with Jeremy Corbyn in

particular. Len McCluskey warns against ousting Corbin, he warns

Labour MPs, this is the leader of Unite. How much cloud does he have

in this? Possibly not with many of the Parliamentary Labour Party, but

it is interesting how you can now it is interesting how you can now

see a split within Labour, not the parliamentary party but with those

who voted for Corbyn in such massive numbers and those in the House of

Commons -- how much clout does he have. Those in the House of Commons

who see the situation in a very different way under the situation in

a very different way, and could vote for air strikes in Syria. A

difficult one for the Labour Party, Kate. If they try to get rid of

Jeremy Corbyn, have a leadership election, he could win again, so

they can't oust him without another plan. An extraordinary set of

circumstances and these are the thoughts Labour MPs are having, they

are trying to work through ideas about what exactly would happen.

Lots of Labour MPs feel actually, you know, especially the ones very

against Jeremy Corbyn and who would like to see a different leader, they

feel it is just too early for a new reader. Like you say, the issue of

another leadership election, that either he would win again or another

left candidate would come in to replace him. And there is a real

kind of feeling about what are they going to do? That said, the phrase I

have heard about Hilary Benn in the past couple of days from some Labour

MPs is, the nice man, and should they be forced into this situation

by their own leader, the idea is that something could happen --

cometh. And the showdown with MPs. Wondering whether he could call an

extraordinary meeting to insist the back his stance. That would be

dynamite, wouldn't it? He is meeting his Shadow Cabinet tomorrow and

quite a row has developed this evening about who will decide their

policy on going to war and Jeremy Corbyn has very clearly said it is

the leader 's decision. Others are talking about the Shadow Cabinet

making the decision and it is this that is really going to explode into

the open tomorrow. There is clearly the open tomorrow. There is clearly

a conservative push by certain figures to try to get him to agree

to a free vote. Even his close friend and ally, John McDonnell. And

you imagine there will forcibly be resignations in the short-term. It

will come to a head again. Very interesting week, not even mention

whether they would have enough vote in parliament for a vote this week.

Let's look at the Times. Tear gas fired on protesters. There were not

many protesters out on the streets compared to previous events like

this because of what happened in Paris two weeks ago, the terrorist

attacks, that Bisla the authorities have clamped down on that. Yes, --

obviously the authorities. Not very pretty scenes. The candles, the

commemorations for people killed in those attacks, apparently some of

those were thrown, too, by protesters. Pretty ugly. President

Cudd is clearly not happy. As he clearly was -- president Hollande.

Inviting 150 readers. But a protest was extraordinary, all the peers of

shoes? Yes, and I agree with you. From what France was all on says,

the tensions he is under, very understandably -- with what Hollande

says. The eyes of the world are now on Paris. They are, and have been

for the past few weeks, four very different reasons. In the Metro.

Junk food banned from nine o'clock, on the front of your paper, Joel. An

intention or hope from MPs? It is a recommendation from the House of

Commons select committee. The idea that adverts for junk food would be

banned from pre-what a shed programmes and also that the 20% tax

should be placed on the supermarkets display suite at the

end of hours -- pre-watershed. I know this is the second time these

sorts of things have been recommended in recent weeks. I

imagine it will be the same this time. There does not seem to be a

lot of appetite within the Government to do this, does their?

Even though it would be popular with quite a lot of campaign groups. It

would, and possibly lots of parents as well but there would be lots of

other people it would not be popular with. Certainly the Conservatives

have all was been keen to edge away from things that look like state

intervention and it is quite a difficult one for the Government to

kind of wrestle with and tried to realise where to come down on it. I

think part of the problem as well is the evidence for the impact these

would have is quite mixed. The picture from experts is quite mixed

and so I would probably agree with you. I think they may end up sitting

on the shelf. We may be reading them for quite awhile. Let's look the

Daily Express. A pill to help us live to 120! This may slow the

ageing process. Hands up, around this desk, who would want a pill

like that? None of us! We all said the same thing, I don't want one of

those. What is it supposed to do? They think this drug could wipe out

diseases such as Alzheimer's, which would easily be a terrific-mac

achievement in itself. The prospect of living to 120, with or without

Alzheimer's, it does seem... A little bit beyond most people's

ambition -- terrific. Nevertheless these trials have been going ahead

by the American food and drugs administrations we could have the

prospect of someone like Donald Trump living to 120... Perhaps we

should be slightly more optimistic. I am flip-flopping! I guess the

problem is that this society is not really geared up, probably most

people would argue, even for the longevity a lot of people currently

live to and it is all about quality of life and if we could kind of

increase and perhaps change society to better treat older people, then

perhaps people would be keener to live to 110, perhaps, but not 120.

At some point we have to shuffle off to make way for the people being

born, don't we! Of course. Goodness knows what the world population

would soar to. I am not interested. I do not want one, thank you very

much. Charlotte, adorable pictures of the baby princess taken by Kate.

Do you like these pictures? I think they are very good pictures. It is

extraordinary how much Charlotte looks like her brother which is very

interesting. I also think they probably show her parents in quite a

good light. They have decided not to release details about what she is

wearing because they do not want to see any hype around Charlotte, as

there is around Kate at the moment. Probably quite a sensible decision.

I think she looks a bit like the Queen? I have not seen that just

yet. I will have to study that, but, yes, perhaps. It could be a

mini corgi she is playing with. It looks like a spaniel to me. It will

be the toy of the year for under one-year-olds probably. Kate and

Joel will be back at half past 11 for another look at the front pages.

Stay with us on BBC news because British warplanes could be in the

error within days if the Government moves ahead with the vote on it

strikes. And that is a big if. And now on BBC news it is time for

Click.
