14/08/2016 The Papers

the party decision to ban new numbers from voting in the

leadership contest will not take decades the Supreme Court.

Hello and welcome to look ahead to the papers. With us, John Stapleton

and Esther McVey. Welcome both. Thanks for having us again.

Delighted to be here, especially tonight. Because we are winning. I

thought he might have said because it was me! Double gold Olympic

medallist Max Whitlock makes many of the pages. He is draped in a union

Jack savouring one of his victories. DfT reports that Brussels intends to

tighten its grip on Web services. Theresa May has ordered Tory

ministers to stop dithering and organise the Brexit as soon as

possible. The paper goes with the headline gold rush. The Metro has a

similar idea. Super Sundays they their triumphant front page. We will

start with that. It is so good to have, after months of difficult news

stories, have all this fun. People love good news, particularly on a

Monday morning. The papers are quite right to splash this. This is

phenomenal. Max has won two golds in the space of an hour. In the league

table we are second behind the USA, ahead of China. Britain ahead of

China in the medals table. And Andy Murray is with -- of a chance of

winning gold. Listening to them being interviewed afterwards, Max,

you won your gold, will you win the second? Your nerves could get the

better of you. You could go out there and fluff it. And he didn't.

He was cool as a cucumber. They have been so magnanimous, so caring and

sharing to their partners. Very honest. Laura Trott, whoever it was,

Wiggins, it has been sensational. I was watching the two Belgian girls

who won the heptathlon against Thompson Johnson. But what was

really striking about that and many of the events was the warmth between

these two. They were applauding each other when an opponent did well.

They hugged each other at the end. Jessica Ennis-Hill did at the end of

competition. I was so thrilled. I wish that spirit would sometimes

transferred to football. We have done our very best, this has been

four years. Therefore, it does allow you to congratulate someone who is

better than you. That was what was so amazing. That they were

excellent. This camaraderie. And knowing when somebody better than

you won. What a sacrifice they have made. Dedicating their lives to it.

Are you going out on a bike now?! Yellow Madrid is a bit late. There

was a lot of stuff after the last Olympics asking what happened to the

Olympic legacy. People send that had playing fields not been closed down

how much better we might have done. The National Lottery money has made

a big difference. They have been giving the training facilities to

enable them to compete on a level playing field, if you don't mind,

with the opposition. Whether it was Chris Boardman coming into the

cycling, it totally revolutionised it. He knew how to win, he knew how

to get team tactics better. He knew how to get a strategy in place. We

need to keep going. We will be ahead of America next time! Who knows? It

is really great. We do have other stories. It is a bit like saying

we're banging on too much! Not at all. We were waiting to see if we

could show you this. Here it is, the old-fashioned way. The Huffington

Post, Labour members give up on supreme challenge to leadership vote

but fight -- pledged to fight on. They will not go to the Supreme

Court because it will cost too much money. They steamed -- seem to think

it has been worth challenging the decision. The court came to the

right decision, saying that the precise eligibility criteria shall

be defined by the National Executive Committee. They say the rules of

your party should set what is really going on. To be fair, it is a sad

story for a Labour. It is what is going on beneath all of this. It is

poisonous. It is splitting the party. You haven't got the MPs

behind the leader. You haven't got the members with the MPs. You have

got new members with their leader. It is for them are very

uncomfortable period and it will not get any better. I completely agree.

I think it is very sad. These people are entitled to take the action they

did. They opened up the debate about democracy. But at the end of the day

it is an irrelevance. The real story is that the Labour Party is in such

deep trouble, it is tearing itself apart. That is bad for the country.

Every government needs a strong opposition. There isn't a strong

opposition. There is every prospect it will get weaker. It has

implications across the board. People want certainty in the

country. It impacts business, exporter. You do need a strong

opposition. Nobody knows where this is going to go to, but it will be an

ugly fight and probably an ugly end. Prime Minister, get this out of the

EU and fast, according to this one. This is a story the express loves.

She says, crack, that, we have decided we are going. The story this

morning in one of the papers, to which this is a response, is that

they are dilly-dallying of it and making excuses. She said of two

departments and they're not ready yet. -- set up two departments. They

are saying maybe they cannot do it as quickly as they thought. Maybe it

will take until 2019, 2020. Crack on with it. Crack, that, stop messing

about. We are further ahead than we. Were We are ahead of the curve in

one sense. The country needs confidence. People need to know

where you are going. She is right. Crack on with it and get on with it,

but equally, there are practicalities. But I do believe the

civil servants will be going at top speed. They are in a meeting at

7:30am to start the process going. Good heavens, what sacrifices will

they make next?! Page two of the Daily Express is about Boko Haram,

and kidnapped 276 young girls from Chibok. We are not going to show you

the photograph because we have been trying to preserve the anonymity of

these young girls. Some of whom have reportedly been raped and badly

abused, forced to marry their captors. Here they are being put in

a video to say, we would prefer to hand them over but we want some

fighters back. It is an appalling story. And heaven knows what has

happened to these girls in two years. And heaven knows why it so

long to find them, to identify them. The government is saying, we want to

make sure. They claim to be talking to the captors but they want to be

sure they are talking to the right captors. Good heavens, it is two

years. The terrain is not helpful. But even so... This is a

horrendously brutal group. Since 2009, they have killed 20,000 people

and displaced 2.8 million people. When they say they want their

prisoners out of jail to return these girls, you have to think what

happened last time. They took 105 of their own members out of prison, and

an extra 600 prisoners, and more violence and death followed suit.

The negotiations will have to be well judged. A couple of stories in

the FT. This one will be interesting if you can sum it up for us.

Brussels to tighten grip on Web services in telecoms shake-up. That

is trying to get regulations right for a grey area in the law. They

want to make sure that places like WhatsApp and Google and Facebook

comply with requests for things like security, and also comply with

things, how do they make their money from the details of their customers?

I think for too long it has been a wild West. They are well ahead of

the curve. I do not think it is policed or regulated properly. These

are companies, some of only about 15 years old, when you look at it,

Google as 2 trillion hits a year. Bigger than most companies because

it has managed to go into the space, the World Wide Web, and basically

like a Trojan horse, suck it up. Would you talk about the next one?

Energy suppliers put their foot in gas suppliers. It is an astonishing

story of the bottom of the front page. Thousands of gas customers

have been overcharged because energy suppliers have made a sick mistakes

reading their meters. They have confused old imperial meters with

new ones. This affects all six big energy suppliers, apparently. Some

people have been undercharged by 60% and some people have been

overcharged by 130%. What this story does not make clear, possibly

because it is not evidential, is how much these people will be

compensated and when? Beggars belief. I love the bit that they are

overcharged by 130% but undercharged by 60%. How many energy suppliers

will confuse gas meters in people's houses? They are the experts. How do

you put it right and when will it be put right? Finally, Buzz feed.

Nadiya Hussain, who famously won The Great British Bake Off and baked a

cake for the Queen, has been talking to desert Island discs saying she

has been facing racism, that it has been part of her life for years.

Almost a daily occurrence. Listening to it, I thought what dignity --

dignity she had. In terms of how she was dealing with it and confront it.

She said, this is my home, I love it here, but I will not meet and match

that can of ugliness and vitriol myself. How she has dealt with it is

tremendous. But the fact she has to deal with it that macro and her

children as well. It is jealousy. There will be various other emotions

as well. These can of attacks have increased. This story does not

detail it, but would -- woman assumed these attacks increased

after Brexit. Whatever your thoughts about Brexit, we will not go into

that one tonight. It was proven statistically it did unleash racism.

She was born and bred in Luton, this goal. And no one, no matter where

they are born, should be subject to that kind of abuse. That is it.

Because it is a Sunday, John and Esther will be back with a second

look at half-past 11. Coming up next, Meet The Author.

The athlete Eric Liddell is the man whose story was immortalised

in the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire.

A strict Christian, he refused to run in the hundred metres

at the Paris Olympics in 1924, because the race
