10/08/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

us tomorrow. Without either columnist for the mirror and Tim

Stanley of the Daily Telegraph. We will start with the Financial Times,

reporting on fears that a global collapse in Government borrowing

costs is sending British pensions into a funding crisis. The eye

pictures Joe Clarke winning gold at the Solomon real. Britain's

gold-medal winners are on the top of the Metro as well above the story

about a judge was verbally abused by a man and she sent to jail. The

Times says Britain's Tony Spiner ended new Hinkley point sea power

tasting deal as facing nuclear espionage charges in America. The

Telegraph says Scotland Yard is investigating allegations that a

British tennis player was to liberally poisoned while competing

last month's Wimbledon Championships. The Guardian says

Jeremy Corbyn and his deputy Tom Watson are locked in a dispute about

whether the party risks being taken over by hard left activists driven

out in the 1980s. We will start with the Financial Times. Sutherland

strike called off by Eurostar walk-outs fresh to bring fresh

travel row. Not a good period for anyone who was to get on a train. It

will not be for about 20 years. This isn't, I'm sorry, this isn't a

one-off thing that is happening right now, someone has had a big

idea and the union has said they do not like it, this is a technology

issue. It is almost inevitable that at some point in the future you will

have trains operated either by nobody at all or by somebody in a

control room a long way away and at the moment we're talking about

having trains operated entirely by one person at the front of the

train, who drives the trench at the doors, uses CCTV to look around the

train and see who is on and off. They have to handle all the

problems. There are flaws in that plan and there are good things about

it. That is what the argument about. The RMT, who generally run the door

side of things, don't want that to happen. The union who runs the

driver Kate of things is ambivalent. Both sides are saying that it will

not cost jobs now but maybe well in the future. This will go on for a

long time. It is a fundamental issue. Indeed. The upshot of this is

passenger misery. I used to live in Brighton and I had to take the

infamous other line. Hell on wheels, literally. When the wheels were

moving! Famously there was one train that literally has never in its

entire time of operation ever been on time. Extraordinary. The problem

is there's not enough tracks to support all the passengers who want

to travel on it. It's a thin corridor that goes from London to

Brighton and through Gatwick. An extraordinary amount of pressure on

that one line, not enough track, therefore not enough stock. The

train said to be short. That is why there is some new bottlenecks and

delays in that area. There have been repeated promises to invest in it,

particularly Gatwick may be expanding. If it were expanding, the

pressure on that line will be enormous. They are saying we need to

create new technologies and cut costs and have faster and better

moving trains but the staff do not want to see in Pak... The trains on

Server now are very old and short and have not had investment on the

line for a very long time -- sunburn. If we go to the times, real

striker spent ?7 million on its own times. Yes, rather than on members

benefits. It rakes in more times -- five times more members fees a dozen

benefits. The Secretary is ?126,000 in pay and benefits. On the one

hand, there's is interesting for any proprietor who is stuck trying to

get to work and earn 30 grand, and you any grand. But unions exist not

just to give members benefits but also amount to borrow money so they

can deal with strike action. Unions provide help at work and pressure in

legal advice and negotiations. In theory, if you're union isn't paying

benefits out, that could be because your union is doing a great job, you

do not have to receive the benefits. You are paying your subs for the

union to do what you wanted to. Having said that, some people find

this slightly hypocritical when I union says it is fighting a class

war for the general interest of the workers and its staff are being paid

six figures and on the other hand by supporting the interests of one

group of workers, they are damaging the interest of another group of

workers, those per-pupil trying to get to work. Like you to be. Well...

We sit here and moan. Chinese Hinkley backer is accused of

espionage. Yes, it is bound to happen, that someone who is behind

the Hinkley plant bid from China, the funding 33% of this new build.

It will be accused of espionage and spying. There was a story last year

talking about that if they provide the computers that operate the

Hinkley plant, they could write called into those computers that

would enable them remotely to shut down Hinkley of the wanted to --

code. It would reduce Britain's energy output. That is what Theresa

May is worried about. She is worried it will cost billions of pounds

more. Why did George Osborne like it? He is obsessed with China. No

one is suggesting Theresa May does not love China. She is more

cautious, she inherited the contract and said that she was to review it.

It was claimed when she was Home Secretary she raised question about

security. George Osborne's approach to trade was that Britain should be

open to the world and there was an enthusiasm for being magnetic

towards Chinese money. This premise has a different approach. Let's be

cautious to watch that, which is not unreasonable, given the record of

some of these Chinese companies when it comes to espionage. Will she say

no to the deal? Don't be surprised. It is a bad deal. It is a bad deal

with EDF and with the Chinese. They are made we are paying for

electricity, what we should be spending our money on and how we

will generate energy in the future. This is not the best way to spend

it. Agreed, but what is on the table? What else? There is the

possibility of investment in small micro nuclear generators which will

be on every single town, that could be even more controversial when it

comes to planning. The technology isn't quite ready. As of the legacy

of the coalition Government and the Tories and to the extent the last

days of labour. The body has put in place big legacy projects that would

provide energy for 20 years down the line. They were too busy trying to

reduce carbon emissions. Trying to do what was politically necessary

now, not thinking about down the line when they were not in power,

thinking about how people would cope. We should have been investing

in tidal energy, which does not rely on the weather. I was going to say

tidal energy does not rely on the weather, sunshine or wind, it is

constant, it will always be there and you do not have two very

radioactive stuff in the ground. It is amazing and we have put money

into it. There you go, that is the future allegedly. Huffington Post,

Jeremy Corbyn. We forgot to talk about it even though it is not a

newspaper. Easy, Tiger. High on! Jeromy Corbyn is angry that Owen

Smith has received an endorsement from GNB, the union. He said it is

wrong. Some unescorted from within the coming campaign said this is due

to right-wing elements. The must berate wing elements within the GMB,

because according to the illustrious Huffington Post, a total of 60% of

the union members voted to back Smith. That suggests there are a lot

of right-wing elements full stop it should be added that the GNB

apparently represents people who work on the Trident missile

programme, so perhaps they have some interests. And Jeremy Corbin voted

against that. The GNB endorsed Ed Miliband in 2010, generally regarded

as the soft left candidate in that election. The idea that this is a

union with a particular history of being Blairite or backing the right

doesn't suggest that is true. Maybe there is some split with those

people who have joined the party recently and have been disparaging

about the new activist and those members of the trade union who may

be more all school labour and more working class in the northern part

of the country. Corbyn madness. As a writer for the daily miller, does

this suggest that Jeromy Cobham will not fly away with the leadership

contest in the way everybody expects? It suggests that if you

ballot your members before you decide which person you are backing

in the leadership contest then you may find that the average person on

the street thinks Jeromy Corbyn will not be able to lead. Are you

suggesting he balloted his members? Yes, and I might unite refused to. A

Power Mac mirror survey found that 62% of all trade union members

didn't want Jeromy Corbyn to lead the party in the general election.

If you do not think he will win a premise the real contest, should he

be leading the party now? But there are individual votes for this trade

union members, they can only take as a guide what's the leadership says.

That it, this could be irrelevant. Turnout is an issue. If you are not

being able to effect to your union's stance on something, do you actually

engage in the process? Things like that. It is interesting to think, we

may see a return to the old dynamic of the unions and the centre-right

labour or moderate Labour leadership being the one to oppose and block

the left. That is traditionally what used to happen before the 1980s. It

used to be that coalition kept the left. I will have to stop you there

because we are going to go to Rio. Max Whitlock, there he is on the

right, he is going to get bronze for the all-round gymnastics final. He

is not the guy in a suit, is he? That is not Max Whitlock. Doesn't

look like a gymnastics Mac the men's gymnastic team just missing out on

the group medal a couple of days ago. But some success now for Team

GB. In the gym with Max Whitlock. Let's dip into the commentary.

Executive committee member of the International gymnastics Federation.

Bronze medal list, representing Great Britain,.

CHEERING Max Whitlock.

OK, Max Whitlock about to get his medal there. He got two four years

ago, to bronzes and now he gets another one for the all-round

gymnastics final. He was actually in contention with another Brit. He is

the one who gets metal round his neck. And a handshake. And a little

something or other. What did you just get then as well as the medal?

Who knows? Jim and membership? A snow globe? The weather has been

absolutely appalling down in Rio, more like rather in Rio today. No

disrespect to Rotherham, by the way. Let's move on to the Daily

Telegraph. We have only got two minutes, forget the Telegraph.

Sorry, mate. It ain't happening. Let's go to the Financial Times.

Donald Trump. It's the Donald Trump. Now, Tim, you believe the press has

blown this out of proportion. You have this for 25 seconds. His

comments yesterday concerning the second Amendment. You may argument

Delyn X argue he is guilty of a lack of clarity but what he is not guilty

of is suggesting anyone should Hillary Clinton. He very obviously

said, if you read the entire transcript is, Hillary went at once

to rewrite the concert using, someone should stop her, I guess the

second Amendment is people may do that, he meant that the NRA will

lobby her. If you are going to beat him on anything, beat him on the

many things that he said had been dreadful but not something he did

not say. If you address gun toting Americans and said a lady over there

was a take your guns away, what are you going to do about it, lads? They

will probably suggest shooting her, especially if they are a bit

bonkers, was quite a lot of them are. Same happened with Henry the

second when he said he will rid me of this priest? And they went down

and slaughtered Thomas Becket. He had to do a pilgrimage and apologise

and the whole world party at murdered Thomas Becket. I do not

think Donald Trump has heard of Becket. In 2008, Hillary Clinton

said Barack Obama could get shot before the June California primary.

People say stupid things before the course of a primary, pinning down on

the things they actually said, not on what they didn't say. If they add

that lacking in clarity, he should not be giving people instructions

about where to fly their warplanes and things like that. "Go And bomb

over there somewhere." No, I meant the other place! You're going to be

back in 30 minutes to look more of the stories. Many thanks for that.
