Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are the Daily Telegraph media commentator Neil Midgley | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
and columnist at the London Evening Standard Rosamund Urwin. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
Tomorrow's front pages? The Metro leads on Team GB's heroes | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
who achieved the country's best ever overseas Games in Rio - | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
claiming the country is now an 'Olympic Superpower'. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
The Guardian bids a fond farewell to Rio after 17 days | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Its main story accuses the NHS in England of a 'disgraceful' lack | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
of diversity with white men in the majority of top jobs. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
Mo Farah's joyful leap is pictured in the Mail with speculation that | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
many of Team GB's sporting stars will be rewarded | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Britain Will Keep Booming says the Express - | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
coupled with a positive story about the post Brexit economy. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
In contrast - a sharp fall in spending on big | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
The paper says new Prime Minister Theresa May is not acting | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
quickly enough to rebuild the economy following Brexit. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
Good evening. Where are we starting? With the Metro. That fantastic | :01:35. | :01:48. | |
picture montage of our Great British Olympians. It is a double page | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
spread, a wraparound, the actual front page, I have to say, has a | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
preponderance of male faces. Poor old Nicola Adams is the only woman. | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
There is another. The female achievements at these Olympics have | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
been brilliant. Laura Trott is there. And the woman's hockey team, | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
where they pool that victory from one Friday night... Nobody knows! | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
And the flagbearer tonight. What did you think? It has been a fantastic | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
two weeks, I always like watching the sports you know nothing about | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
and for me, Jade Jones is here, she won the gold medal in tae kwon do | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
and I do not understand that sport but she is phenomenal to watch. Just | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
delightful. And she admits that after 2012, she really did struggle | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
a little bit for that first year with formal, suddenly being in the | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
spotlight and then to go back and knuckle down and work so hard and | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
come back and win, I think that is phenomenal and I really enjoyed Joe | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Clarke, in the kayak, the canoe slalom, that is fascinating to | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
watch! I don't understand that but they are brilliant! And Britain are | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
global power in gymnastics! Nobody would have thought, for a while Max | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
Whitlock was the highest scoring non-American athlete at the Olympic | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Games until Usain Bolt started running and for him... While BBC One | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
was broadcasting Countryfile! And he was winning his first gold medal! | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
The coverage has not moved over from BBC Two at that point last Sunday | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
night! And obviously, Amy Tinkler? The 16-year-old winning bronze on | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
the floor. And she will be fantastic to watch in four years. Such talent | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
coming through the ranks. If you look at Andy Murray, brilliant and | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
he defended his gold and more power to him but we don't have that bench | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
in tennis whereas on the other sports like gymnastics and something | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
and ruling, we have a lot of talent coming through. Did you catch the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
boxing? Some very unhappy people with that result? I did watch it. I | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
don't understand why people want to punch each other as a sport! I did | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
watch that through my hands and, to me, as a complete non-boxing expert, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
our boy did seem to land more punches than the other fellow. I am | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
very much looking forward to the closing ceremony. The shoes will be | :04:53. | :05:05. | |
lit up, Team GB, their shoes. OK, it is great news, second, there is the | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
record they have matched? Since 1908. The last time they were at the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
top, London 1908. The highest medal tally in terms of sheer number of | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
medals, having eclipsed London 2012 and beating the Chinese, which | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
nobody would ever have expected, least of all the Chinese and I'm | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
sure there will be some very high-level discussions in Beijing | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
about how they can regain that crime. Good news according to the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
daily express foreigners in Britain. More good news! Yes, the Brexit | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
supporting daily Express says that despite Brexit, Britain will keep | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
booming! How do we know this? There was a survey allegedly of the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
financial industry issued tonight indicating that bosses are broadly | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
competent and weathering the post Brexit storm and that is all there | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
is on the front page. No detail or any figures who was involved in | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
this. Obviously, there are conflicting indicators coming out at | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
the moment, the jobless figures and retail sales were pretty good and | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
there is a story on the front page of the FT tonight saying | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
infrastructure contracts are down by 23% in July. Year-on-year. So | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
clearly it is still too early to tell. We will not have a clear | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
picture until we get the ONS figures, which are coming out in | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
October. Quite a long way. And August is not necessarily the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
greatest time to make these judgments either. It is really | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
encouraging that jobless figures did not go through the roof and retail | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
sales did not go through the floor at the same time. You would expect | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
heads of companies to put a positive spin on things because they do not | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
really want to talk down and lower morale? Quite, you do not want to | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
knock confidence when your business relies on consumer confidence, you | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
would expect them to talk this up a little bit but I think this is the | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
express with its own agenda and I might be inclined to read that story | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
in the FT and put more emphasis on that. We will hopefully get that for | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
the next paper. At 11:30pm. Meanwhile, the Guardian, we have two | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
stories from the front page. Which is the first one? The lead is | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
talking about the people at the top of the NHS, those running the NHS | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Trusts and they say how appalling the lack of diversity there is, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
coming from a Freedom of Information request that it has done. All about | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
how people, despite a big diversity drive and the NHS has a diverse | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
workforce lower down, absolutely, a huge number of languages spoken, but | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
at the top it is not. The point is that people are appointing in their | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
own image and it is run by white men and that has been perpetuated, | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
despite an attempt to change that. You can see that this, these are | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
people making the spending decisions and that means that you really have | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
to think this is somewhere we do need diversity. It seems even more | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
important than all the other things. I do a lot of work on getting more | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
women running FTSE 100 companies, more diversity that way, but there | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
seems even more important to me. Only 2% of NHS Trusts are chaired by | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
people from a black or ethnic minority background compared to 12% | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
of the population at large. This could be said of most companies, to | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
be honest. The BBC has the same criticism. I read stories like this | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
and I think, well, OK, show me the solution? The BBC is ?4 billion | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
every year, the NHS is ?130 billion. You can have a short list that has | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
to include a diverse range of candidates, that is not forcing them | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
to appoint them but at least say there is this candidate and put the | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
name forward rather than just having people thinking, maybe I play golf | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
with him whatever it is, we cannot have those things still having some | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
effect. More people thinking he is a lot like me, when it comes to | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
interviews. Some employers are recruiting with skills interview | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
conducted by people from high up the company and then the values | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
interview by peers at the same level as the position to be appointed, | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
which does not necessarily go to the colour of the person's skin or | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
gender. Do you both believe in short lists? I think it helps. What | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
happens at the moment is we hear these phrases and platitudes rolled | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
out, we must get more diversity, and the obvious steps that you can take | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
to make more of change, they do not happen. OK. Final story... I will | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
quickly glanced down. Where is this? What is this about? Students, | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
illegible ink leaves GCSE markers feeling blue. People who mark GCSEs | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
apparently do not get walloping great envelopes full of papers by | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
secure delivery. All other papers are scanned into an and they get a | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
PDF. If you are a student and you have written your GCSE answers in | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
light green or light blue ink, then the marker cannot necessarily | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
decipher them and they cannot turn the PDF towards the light, as they | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
could with paper. It does say on the front, big letters, right in black | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
ink! And you would hope that teachers would tell the students | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
that. That is fundamental. You will be failed instantly for not reading | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
the instructions! And they give out pens! Just give out black pens! GCSE | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
results, Thursday? Yes. Thank you, Neil Midgley | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
and Rosamund Urwin -- you'll both be back at 11.30pm | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
for another look at the stories | :11:30. | :11:33. |
