Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
With me are the political commentator, James Millar, | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
or, what is it, politics wonk, and the journalist Eva Simpson. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
The Metro reports that Opposition Mps have vowed to fight | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Theresa May's plans for new grammar schools. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The Daily Telegraph says union leaders at Southern Rail have been | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
accused of deliberately damaging Britain's economy by ordering | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
the longest rail strike for almost 50 years. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
The Daily Express leads on the news that talks with big business over | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
quitting the EU have have begun six weeks after the Brexit vote. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
The Guardian focuses on the International Paralympic | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Committee's decision to ban Russia from competing | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
The Times says Russian and Syrian aircraft are bombing opposition | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
areas of Aleppo in revenge after a rebel alliance broke | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
The Financial Times leads on a survey which suggests | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
that the pay of FTSE 100 chief executives rose by a tenth last year | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
And the Daily Mail reports on the tax-payer funded expenses | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
We will start with the Guardian and the Paralympic story, how Russia was | :01:30. | :01:44. | |
banned outright from competing in the paralympics next month. In stark | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
contrast the paper says with the International Olympic Committee's | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
failure to suspend the team. This is what a lot of people thought should | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
have happened with the Olympic Games. Yes, people will think the | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Paralympic committee... They will have more credit than the Olympic | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Committee because they followed through with this. There was a | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
report which suggested the Russian government was backing widespread | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
doping. They have still managed to send 217 athletes to the Olympics. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
At the moment they are not standing any to the paralympics. That is the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
position at the moment. It is a few weeks until it starts. They will be | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
going through a series of appeals and counter appeals -- Paralympics. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Yes, the court of arbitration could be quite busy. We have spoken with a | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
lot of Paralympian is who applaud this decision. It would be galling | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
to play against those competing from a country where there has been | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
state-sponsored doping. The situation is you have half... You | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
have able bodied athletes who are about to compete and who will be | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
competing and then you have the Paralympian to have a different... A | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
governing body who have been banned outright. Although you could say the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Paralympian body had been strong, they have banned the team outright, | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
you could question how fair it is that it doesn't cover all of them. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
And, conversely, though, some Paralympian is will be completely | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
clean who lose out. It is such a mess. As a spectator watching, it is | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
hard to watch any Russian athletes... It is hard to know | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
whether they are competing from a clean slate given what this report | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
revealed, or whether they are competing fair and square. It does | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
send a powerful message for next time, doesn't it, too? Yes, you've | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
got to hope so. The report into what went on at the Russian Winter | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
Olympics was amazing. Into what was alleged to have happened. You can't | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
choose what country you come from. If you choose to be Russian and | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
clean it seems unfortunate that your government is up to all sorts of | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
hijinks, apparently. But at the same time, if you are from anywhere else, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
you would be hacked off. The longest rail strike in 50 years to hit | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
economy with ministers attacking union leaders for causing pain to | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
passengers and business leaders. This strike is taking place this | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
week for five days. If you are unfortunate to still be at work and | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
not be on holiday, and have to commute, especially into London, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
then you will be hit by this rail strike. Southern... On Southern... | :04:42. | :04:56. | |
Yeah. So what's happening in Dover? Conductors are claiming that their | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
work has been devalued. Changes to the way they operate on the trains. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
There is a suggestion that their work is being devalued, their jobs | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
are being put at risk. The issue is the strike has been given the | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
go-ahead but it only has the support of 393 staff members. Yeah. That was | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
a helpful answer. There have been issues with staff not turning up to | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
work and claiming to be sick. The company and the union have | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
essentially... They are at loggerheads and it doesn't seem to | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
be any way out of it. There had been so many complaints about them, daily | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
problems. You just have to go on Twitter and there is a stream of | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
angry commuters. According to the Telegraph, it will affect up to | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
300,000 commuters, and this is as the government was supposed to have | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
brought in tough laws on the issue of when unions can call strikes and | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
they had to have a certain amount of members who voted for the strike. If | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
they are the only people affected either strike, you can't ballot | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
people who are not going to take part. It makes a mockery of the law. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
If 300,000 are affected... Southern have sacked all the rest of the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
staff. Maybe if they employed more people they wouldn't have such | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
problems. It is strange. Telegraph says it will hit the economy. Well, | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
it is all very well, Amber Rudd, Home Secretary, complaining it is | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
reckless and will be badly damaging and will cause needless pain to the | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
economy, but didn't her economy just take us out of the EU, after telling | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
us it would be dreadful for the economy, and they did that? | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
LAUGHTER. So, you know... Here we go again, | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Brexit. A lot of people say we will be fine. Exactly, it is just a | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
bit... LAUGHTER. MPs... Sorry, Janet, the Metro, | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
please. Janet is directing to know. She keeps singing in my ear. It is | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
annoying. MPs fight Theresa May's bid to expand grammars. The peers | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
and Lords won't like this. There will be some opposition. This was an | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
announcement yesterday in the Sunday Telegraph that the new Prime | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Minister is minded to reintroduce grammar schools but she is going to | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
be facing a lot of opposition. If she thought that people would be | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
sort of dancing in the streets about this, then she is sadly mistaken. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
Their big argument is that it is great for social mobility. Children | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
from poorer backgrounds have access to a higher level of education are | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
they go on to achieve so much more. The sad fact is the current grammar | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
system, there is only about 3% of children who receive free school | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
meals who go to grammar schools. Which is a marker of deprivation. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
So, is in the current system it doesn't support poor children, how | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
can we guarantee that new grammar schools will do that? I can't even | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
believe that this is on the agenda, quite frankly. Neil Carmichael says | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
he doesn't think it improves social motor will teeth. They are very | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
popular with parents. With some parents, yeah. Politically, this is | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
going to be interesting. It is possibly a clue to something. If | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Neil Carmichael as a Tory is against it, it only takes a handful to be | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
against it and it won't get to the Commons. And then the SNP come into | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
play in the Commons. And in the Lords, the government doesn't have a | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
majority. The only way they can get it through would be if there was a | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
manifesto commitment. Does this mean Theresa May is pondering an early | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
election, and she could get it through the Lords that way, it might | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
be a bit of... You have heard it here first. It is a big thing to go | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
through... It is very popular with people who vote... The Daily Mail, a | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
law unto themselves, how are you, the taxpayer, pays thousands for | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
police Chiefs' private health while they take up to 64 days' holiday per | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
year. They are cross about this. Why are senior police officers are | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
allowed to claim this money? There must be a legitimate reason. Thanks | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
to national guidelines for senior police which haven't been updated | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
since 2003. Yeah, basically, if they get moved around, or if they move | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
around, it doesn't seem unreasonable they are entitled to relocation | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
expense. The problem is what exactly they are claiming on these | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
relocation expenses. Some of them don't really want to tell the people | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
who actually pay their relocation expenses what they are paying. The | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
thing that will annoy a lot of people reading this is that we | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
understand, as you say, you are entitled to expenses, but if you are | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
already earning ?200,000 a year plus, I think some people might | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
think it is a bit excessive to be claiming for things that they could | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
really pay for out of their own pocket. There is no suggestion that | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
they are doing anything wrong or illegal but it is... They are the | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
rules at the moment. We think it needs a bit of taste as to MPs | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
expenses. Daily Express, Treasury Chiefs get to work on cutting ties | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
with Brussels and what are we left with, what kind of relationship do | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
we want to have after it is all decided? No one knows what | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
relationship we're going to have, or what we will have. Some are clear | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
they don't want freedom of movement and they don't want to be part of | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
the single market. A bit confused. Some of them surely know. We hope | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
so. A lot of them have done a runner since the referendum. Some of them | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
have been given high up jobs. They have. They have been awfully quiet | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
on exactly what Brexit will mean. Doesn't it mean what it means when | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
the result of a negotiation with current partners in the EU comes? It | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
means whatever you want it to mean at the moment, that's the trouble. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Maybe these talks will give some shape to it. We are not sure they | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
are talks. It just as the department for EU as it have been contacted by | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
the city. I am not sure what that means. They have fired up a couple | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
of e-mails and gone on holiday. Are they experts? Officials. Experts we | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
might need to listen to? Officials... Oh, officials in the | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
city. This article refers to this poll showing two thirds of | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
grassroots Conservative Party members don't want a similar deal to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Norway. All sorts of different ideas were thrown about, weren't they, | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
with Norway, Switzerland, Albania, wherever. Most people decided we | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
didn't want to be like Norway because they still have to pay Ian | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
and be part of it but they are not part of the decision-making process. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
They still had to have freedom of movement. I am not surprised two | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
thirds of people survey it in this Express say they don't want it, | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
because one of the big things was we wanted to have control of borders. | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
Not freedom of movement. I am not sure how scientific this survey is | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
but they have not asked what they do want. Well, they know what they | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
don't want! It is easy to say that. I suppose what they want is the moon | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
on a stick. You can't get that. Yet. The Daily Telegraph, it has such | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
resonance with me, I hope it does with you - no, I hope it doesn't, | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
actually. Morning eight. Your body is playing catch up. If you wake up | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
feeling like you have aches in the morning, white? My hands feel really | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
stiff -- aches. Anti-inflammatory proteins haven't kicked in. -- why? | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
Limbs feel stiff because our body has been suppressing the | :13:37. | :13:37. | |
anti-inflammatory proteins during sleep. Do you have that problem? I | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
bet blues suppresses it even more, which is why you have even more than | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
eight. That begins with an H. Marvellous. It has an education. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
That's it for the Papers for tonight. | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
Coming up next, it's the Film Review. | :14:03. | :14:09. |
