miss the Euro 2016 draw in Paris, after he lost... And, this | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
evening's European rugby. That is all in sport later. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are Neil Midgley from Forbes.com | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
and Laura Hughes, who's a political correspondent | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
The Independent's front page has a picture of an illuminated | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
Eiffel Tower in Paris where negotiators are said to be close to | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
The Times says households are paying extortionate charges to Britain's | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
energy networks for routine jobs such as moving meters. | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
The FT looks at the Chinese businessman caught up | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
in the anti-corruption drive in China, where the private sector | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
is increasingly nervous of the government's actions. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
The Mail reports on the millions of small business owners forced to file | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
The Express says a new blood test could predict | :01:08. | :01:22. | |
The Mirror reports on the schoolboy who died after falling under | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
And the Guardian says phone-hacking victims are expected to demand | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
a review of the Crown Prosecution Service's decision to cease pursuing | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Laura, we are looking at the Independent, not their top story, | :01:34. | :01:55. | |
but that picture of the Eiffel Tower at the climate summit. We were | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
trying to work out whether that had been photo shopped, we haven't seen | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
the full details, it has been delayed. It will be out tomorrow | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
morning. We don't know everything that will be in it, and obviously | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
where there are conflict is, you have big powers, with America trying | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
to convince India and Brazil and China to sign up to the same | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
agreements. Then there are the issues of power countries have stuck | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
to the agreements that were made previously. We will see more detail | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
tomorrow, and find out how seriously they are going to take its. The | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
devil is in the detail, if it wasn't we would have had this agreement by | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
now. Copenhagen would not have been such a disaster. There does seem to | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
be something different this time around, some of them seem to be | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
walking the walk as well as talking the talk. The interesting thing in | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
the UK is that voters say that environmental issues are very | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
important to them, if you give them a list of issues. They say | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
environmental issues are important. But when you get into the detail of, | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
would you peep prepared to pay more for petrol at the pump if there was | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
a carbon tax or would you be repaired to pay more for food if the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
distribution of that food cost the supermarket more because of the | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
carbon tax, then people say no. They think the cost should fall entirely | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
on businesses, on Shell and BP and Sainsbury's. Unfortunately that is | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
not how it works, if costs rise, unless it is a regulated industry | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
where it is banned, they pass it on to the consumers. So, how much | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
chance is there for a deal if it is a Draconian deal for the UK, whose | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
principal beneficiaries are foreign countries? In issues of money, one | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
of the stumbling blocks has been who will pay to compensate the poorer | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
countries for money that they are now having to shell out to deal with | :04:24. | :04:36. | |
problems that predate any issues that they have had in terms of | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
development? I think a lot of people feel that China should be doing | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
more, and these larger countries that are producing a lot more | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
emissions in the environment than many. The average China -- Chinese | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
person, the UK is a big country in terms of how much wealth you have | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
per person, and we are big country in those terms. In China they have a | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
huge economy but their GDP per head is much smaller. We shall see what | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
they come up with tomorrow. It seems to be the day that is being hailed | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
as when we will hear this historic deal. The Guardian is also focusing | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
on phone hacking. They feel victims may challenge the CPS, who say they | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
don't have evidence to go further. Yes, I would definitely add that, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
the lawyers are set to challenge the CPS. There are some legal firms who | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
have made a good living the last few years out of representing victims of | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
phone hacking, and they tend to be clearing houses. There is one chap | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
who represents Paul Gascoigne, the footballer, and Alan Yandle. They | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
said subject to a client's instructions we would want to have a | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
review of the decision-making process. It doesn't seem like the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
client are the driving force. What has happened here is that Alison | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, has said there will be | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
no further criminal action against... There will be no criminal | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
action against journalists at the Daily Mirror who were subject of an | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
investigation, all corporate charges against News UK, former News | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
International, which is the news branch of the Murdoch empire in the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
UK. That is probably where the rubber comes in this story, because | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
people who hate the Murdoch empire really hate it, and they will be | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
furious that as they see it once again the Murdoch empire has got off | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
the hook. -- the rub. Never mind that Rebekah Brooks was found not | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
guilty of all charges, that there have been a number of convictions, | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Andy Coulson went to prison, this would have been an opportunity to go | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
for the head honchos, especially James Murdoch. He was in charge at | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
News International for part of the time period of this phone hacking, | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
so they are talking about the controlling mind of the company, he | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
satisfies that test. He was the controlling mind of the company, but | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
the CPS has said today that there is no evidence that he or anyone else | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
at the top of News International knew that the money that was being | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
paid for phone hacking was being used for phone hacking. Laura, take | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
us on to the Scottish Daily Mail, because they have a story that | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
council tax in Scotland may be on the way out. There is a commission | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
that has been going on, and they have basically been given a range of | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
options of not what they might want to scrap. We believe that they may | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
have got a tipoff that the council tax would be the SNPs's preferred | :08:15. | :08:27. | |
option. It is possible Holyrood could have the power to remove their | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
council tax. These powers are devolved to Scotland, so it could | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
really happen. I think the story here is that it will be the middle | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
classes who suffer the most. They might end up paying more money | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
because this is designed to save people who are not on high incomes, | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
and it also comes as local authorities have had many tax cuts, | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
and they are struggling to run. We have quite a lot to get through. The | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
Financial Times had this photo of a tai chi enthusiast who is a business | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
tycoon, finding himself in some hot water. Yes, he is the Chinese | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
equivalent of Warren Buffett. He is a billionaire investor who has | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
bought many Western brands, like Club Med and set Salle -- Cirgue du | :09:24. | :09:38. | |
Soleil. He has disappeared, and there is and ongoing investigation | :09:39. | :09:54. | |
at the moment into corruption. There are a number of very rich people in | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
China, some of whom it seems will now be squirrel in even more of | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
their money away. We are going to move on to the Sun, freedom of | :10:12. | :10:25. | |
information move. What is this about? There is a commission going | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
on looking at curbing the power is off FOIs. This is a very unpopular | :10:30. | :10:48. | |
move among a lot of newspapers, and they haven't supplied any evidence | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
in favour of it. They know they will be destroyed if an MP curb the | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
powers of a journalist to get a story. Why did it happen in the | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
first place? A lot of public bodies have submitted information, like | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
hospital trusts, saying they can't put enough money into services for | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
the elderly because the cost of FOIs is too great. Most of it is done by | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
members of the public, not just journalists. It is an important | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
tool, so things like standards we have at restaurants, like hygiene | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
and things. This is all based on FOIs. It all came from this freedom | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
of information act. A lot of people have been subject to FOIs, and it | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
has been seen to have an agenda even before it started. The Sun's | :11:44. | :11:56. | |
front-page has this story about a suspected gang, they think the same | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
one that raided Simon Cowell's mansion, they think they may have | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
targeted Rita or as well. This is all on the eve of the X factor final | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
that starts tomorrow. Imagine them running at Simon Cowell friendly | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
story on the eve of such a thing. Back in the day, and by which I mean | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
about five years ago, the X factor final was a national event. There | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
was a convulsion, and we all cared. We all watched, these were the early | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
days of Twitter, I used to talk to my friends on Twitter while it was | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
on, but now, Tumbleweed. Nobody cares. I don't think any of us know | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
any of the acts that I ring tomorrow night's final. The show still gets 6 | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
million viewers, but it was getting 11 or 12 in its heyday. It is still | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
a big audience but it is lagging three or four viewers behind | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Strictly Come Dancing, its big rival on the BBC. Questions are starting | :13:10. | :13:22. | |
to be asked about ITV's ability to keep a compelling autumn schedule | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
together for the next few years. You are saying Downton Abbey is | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
finishing. Downton Abbey is finishing, but Cold Feat is coming | :13:36. | :13:47. | |
back. Is it? Yes. -- Cold Feet. That is a great story to end on. That is | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
it for the Papers. Coming up next, Sportsday. | :13:53. | :13:55. |
