investigating a knife attack at Leytonstone underground station, are | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
urging witnesses who filmed the incident on their mobile phones to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
elections suggest the far-right National Front party, led by Marine | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Le Pen, is leading in six of the 13 regions. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
bringing us tomorrow. With me are political commentator Lance Price | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
and the author and journalist Matthew Green. Tomorrow's front | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Let's begin where we must begin, with the appalling weather | :00:22. | :01:17. | |
conditions that have brought flooding to parts of the country | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
that really didn't think they were going to have to go through it again | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
just yet. Here is one of the local newspapers. A picture on the front | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
of a rescue boat with a woman being led to safety with her dog. By few, | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
in circumstances like this, so appalling for people to have to go | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
few, the way everyone rallies around is moving at times. -- Matthew. | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Absolutely. It's refreshing to see a regional newspaper featured on the | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
programme. It's rare we have that privilege. It's nice to see a | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
positive headline. Heroes. They are emphasising the great work that is | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
being done by the emergency services responding to the disaster with this | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
striking image of this poor woman being dragged along in this dinghy | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
by these rescue workers. You would normally see cars and there is one | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
in a background in flood water. At the bottom, it says devastation as | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
floods cause chaos again. These are supposed to be rare events and yet | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
this part of the country, the north-west and the Scottish borders, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
seeing it too often. That's absolutely right hand inside the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
paper, as well as these stories about the way in which the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
communities are coming together, businesses are donating, individuals | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
are donating to try to help those who have been caught up in it all, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
is this sense of disbelief they could be going through it all so | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
quickly after the floods of five or six years ago. The other thing of | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
course that must distress people locally, and many of them have | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
problems with insurance payments. If you live somewhere where you have | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
been flooded before, your payments go through the roof and if it comes | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
round a second time, he might find yourself in difficulties. Very | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
difficult to get renewed insurance if at all. On the Guardian, it says | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
we never thought this could happen again. Victims of 2009 floods aghast | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
at new devastation. New defences have been put in but not equipped to | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
cope with this colossal amount of rainfall. Yeah. I suppose the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
question is do we look at this at the micro scale, what defences we | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
are using, agricultural policy, we forest in except, or do we zoom out | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
and think about what is going on in Paris at the moment with a climate | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
conference? It is remarkably absent from any of the front pages. It's a | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
big, too weak, UN summit which is determining our future policy on | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
global warming. In some senses it's critical to the future of the human | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
project. You would think they would be more excitement about it on the | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
front pages every day, rather than just occasionally. Maybe so in the | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
next couple of days. We can come back to this at 11:30pm. Staying | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
with the Guardian, another story, police look at Isis influence on | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
horrific tube attack. A stabbing, an appalling act of violence, that | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
might surprise people that police are regarding it as a terrorist | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
incident. Often when there has been an attack of this kind, we tend to | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
know something about the perpetrator fairly quickly and are able to make | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
an assessment whether it was indeed a terrorist related offence. We | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
haven't had answers to this question so far today. It may be, of course, | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
that this was just a troubled individual. And not part of any part | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
-- conspiracy or related to Isis. Of course, the authorities have to | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
assume the worst. They have to look to see if there is anything more | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
serious behind it. As yet, there is no evidence of that. Though, the | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
suspect was arrested for attempted murder and is in police custody but | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
the Metro's headline, you ain't no Muslim, bruv, which is what was | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
supposed to have been said to the suspect. I am sure lots of people | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
have seen the clip where the attacker is being tasered by | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
repeated shots from the police. He falls to the ground in this dramatic | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
scene and someone shouts, you ain't no Muslim, bruv, from the sidelines. | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
This has been trending on Twitter over the weekend. In a way, it sums | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
up that spirit of defiance and the anger as well that onlookers were | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
feeling. One of the stories were saying that someone was throwing | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
bottles at him. They were not taking it passively. And all the | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
condemnation. The story here is about Muslim leaders rallying around | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
to condemn this individual, who is now a terrorism suspect. They | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
denounced his actions. Moving on to the Express. Foreigners must now pay | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
to use the NHS. I thought they were always meant to, for certain | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
treatments, Matthew. With all of these funding stories, the challenge | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
is to pass the wishful thinking and headline from the nitty-gritty of | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
how much money is going to be raised. I'm not going to embark on | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
that project on hair but that is the question we have to ask, isn't it? | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
We don't have the inside story. There are obviously huge questions | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
about the future of the NHS. Billions of pounds are going to be | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
needed to keep it afloat in the coming years. I'm not sure these | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
measures will make it. The headlines are quite misleading. The detail is | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
much more complicated than that. It's not all foreigners. Anybody | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
with an EU passport or from within the economic area is still entitled | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
to free treatment. There is the question about what we are asking | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
doctors and medical staff to do, whether or not they suddenly have to | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
become the front line in determining whether people are entitled to free | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
treatment or not and whether that should be part of their job. They | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
might have to ask for a credit card. We clearly don't want to go | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
down that road but nor do we want the time of GPs being wasted. Let's | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
look at the FT for a couple of stories. Firstly, National Front set | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
for an historic French result. The exit polls saying they are ahead in | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
the first round of voting, admittedly, there is another round | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
to come in six of the 13 regions. They are doing very well and some | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
people will seek to interpret this as a reaction to Paris. I don't | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
think it is necessary that at all. They've been on a steady rise in | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
France for some time. If it is confirmed in the second round of | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
voting, these would be Interestingly, we've got the | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
National Front first and socialists of President Hollande | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
were in has made it clear he is not | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
interested in any pact which means that their chances of coming top of | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
the poll in the second round of voting in a week's time is very | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
high. The National Front have tried to link immigration with the risk of | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
terrorism, haven't they, in recent times? That is very much the case, | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
particularly in the wake of the attacks in Paris and the big | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
question is, looking forward to the presidential election in 2017, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
whether this is a straw in the wind that shows Marine Le Pen could be a | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
presidential contender. It is a remarkable change in their | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
landscape. It's whether those regional results translate into a | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
national level and from which they don't, as we've seen in our general | :09:08. | :09:18. | |
election. Marine Le Pen has actually managed to reconfigure the image of | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
the National Front in a way that right-wing parties in this country | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
struggle to do. She has presented himself as a credible candidate. | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Whether they would be an anti-National Front packed in a | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
presidential election is an interesting point. The other is that | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
although the Socialist party are trailing in the low 20s in these | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
results compared to the projections so far tonight, President | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Hollande's personal ratings are way above that, they are touching 50% | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
after his strong reaction to what happened to Paris. He seems to have | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
benefited personally, without having a knock-on effects to his party. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
It's a confusing business. Cameron moves to bypass lords of the other | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
headline on the FT. The Prime Minister seeks to neuter the upper | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
house. The Lords are causing the Prime Minister problems, when vague | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
said we don't like your tax credit changes. It is perhaps not | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
surprising that David Cameron would respond to that and the plan, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
according to the FT, is to essentially review the role of the | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
peers in terms of what kind of veto powers they exercise of a certain | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
types of legislation, so-called secondary legislation. You can see | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
why they would want to do that. The Tories have 251 seats out of 822 in | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
the Lords. If Labour and the Liberal Democrats get together, they | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
outnumber them quite substantially. And they are not elected. For many, | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
many decades, there was an in-built Conservative majority which | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
frustrated governments of any other complexion. Cameron has got a | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
problem. He can try to threaten to create lots of extra peers which no | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
one believes he is going to do. If he goes round this route, the danger | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
is that important stuff gets classified as secondary... | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Constitutionally, that's dodgy going forward. We will have a longer | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
version at 11:30pm. Matthew and Lance will be back again. Coming up | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
next, it is time for Click. | :11:30. | :11:32. |
