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

With me are the Daily Telegraph media commentator Neil Midgley

and columnist at the London Evening Standard Rosamund Urwin.

of diversity with white men in the majority of top jobs.

The Express claims die-hard City pessimists are eating their words

about the state of the post-Brexit economy.

In contrast - a sharp fall in spending on big

The paper says new Prime Minister Theresa May is not acting quickly

enough to rebuild the economy following the vote to leave the EU.

We have picked up some of those stories to talk about. Good evening

to you both. In The Metro, a brilliant front pageant yet they

could not fit everybody on there. 67 medals over all and some team

medals. Clearly, gold-medal winning here as our brilliant and deserve

all the recognition that the list also has silver and bronze medallist

people like the silver medal winner in the gymnastics, 16 years old. The

girl who won in trampolining, of all things... I love the trampolining

story. I didn't know it was an alien export! She said... They asked her

about she think there would be key to getting on the trampoline and she

seemed absolutely delighted at the idea. The nice thing about being

British is that we do celebrate the bronze. We are not like the Chinese

crying over silver and bronze, which state sometimes do. So the, who won

the hammer throw. She used to do ballet. It is a lovely story. The

first Team GB women on-field Mandel. How is it that! . -- medal. Any of

you who saw the Laura Trott's show, and the fact that she was a sickly

child. The stories behind the athletes are absolutely fantastic.

Just for example coming back from having a baby. For most women it is

routine but for her to come back... And have that sixpack. Turning to

the front page of the daily mile - look at that smile. -- Daily Mail.

Another double. After a double in London but now we think he has set

his sights on the marathon say he will presumably not doing the same

events. Not doing a triple double? Like Usain Bolt. Do you think he is

going to be in the honours list somewhere? I suspect he will be. I

think we'll he headlines. A lot of Mo Farah's success he has put down

to his ties with his children and family. His band a lot of time away

from his family, though. Every interview, he lists off the name of

his children, devoting his medals to them. In The Times, the story of

demand for possibly there will be on the honours list. What did you make

of this? One of the issues is that there is a quieter of how many

sports people get. It eerie, they could not give everybody won. They

are asking again to relax those rules. -- in theory. Coaches also

need to be rewarded because a lot of them make it almost sacrifices and

perhaps our unsung heroes. I was not aware there was a quote. By my quick

maths, 63 gongs and when you have 67 medals, that presents you with a

challenge. The Paralympians felt they were not given the same weight

after the London Olympics. Particularly, when you look at the

David Cameron's excerpts least, if a stylist and get one and press chief

can get a knighthood... It points to the fact that it is almost

diminishing the significant if everybody is going to get them. Like

you said, if a stylist gets one. There needs to be a criteria. It

should not just be patronage. With sports starts, they need to be

encouraging people into that spot are getting young people and lots of

them do a huge... I think it clearly does do that. I know how much

Gessica -- Gessica and is does that -- Ennis. Doing exercise, being

sporty, not doing the traditional thing of losing interest in their

teenage years. There is this programme, called these girls can

and they have done this on the back of Olympic Games, tackling mental

problems through sport. Moving on to our next story but staying in The

Times... Did you see that? LAUGHTER. Worrying story. We are aware of it.

There is a lot of detail... It is looking at an unhappiness at the

damage particularly in middle-class teenage girls. The huge number

suffering with anxiety and depression. A study of 30,000

teenagers. One of the things it notes quite low down, the teenage

rebellious behaviour that drinking, drug taking, smoking- have really

fall in over the past years. They do spend a lot of time on media... That

is a double edged sword. They are spending a lot of time on that and

also they do not want to be photographed on that drunk or off

their faces because they are savvy enough to think it might affect the

rest of their lives. There is a lot of pressure for them to perform in

school so some really worrying things about unhappiness. It points

to the fact that if you come from a family where your parents are

possibly educated to a degree level, you are more likely to suffer from

this level of anxiety? To an extent it follows high expectations both

from the parents and from the kids. Today's children are rays,

particularly in affluent parental situations, affluent toys, clothes,

consumer goodies -- children are raised. We cannot get it right, can

we. Let's move on. Good news possibly according to The Express.

What are they saying we should be happy about? LAUGHTER. Why are you

looking at me to pick this one up. Despite Brexit, which obviously is a

widely regarded as a big economic shock, an analysis... Sorry, a

survey of the financial industry has indicated that bosses are broadly

confident of weathering the post Brexit storm. Obviously, the paper

has an agenda on these but there have been some positive signals over

the last couple of weeks - jobless figures are better than expected,

retail figures are better than expected. The FT you mentioned, is

however reporting that infrastructure contracts are down so

a mixed picture. Pushing you on to the next story in The Guardian. What

have the NHS being saying? This is people at the top. The NHS actually

has a diverse workforce, and a lot of women in it they are not well

represented amongst trust shares. 2% of NHS Trust are chaired by people

from minorities. Extraordinary load. There is a suggestion that people

are pointing at the image and not seeking a wider pool. Is it about

who you know? There is a bit of that. Or what you look like.

Obviously a big public sector organisation wrestles with these and

very few are getting it right. It is a difficult problem to address

because you either put in a quota, like sky television said 20% of

talent both on screen and behind have to be black African minorities.

But you do not necessarily have the right person. If you have to fulfil

a quota, you do not necessarily end up with the right person in the

right job. A lot of people from the AME backgrounds, as they call them

now, they want the job on merit. There should be a level, I tend to

think. Because then you can still pick the best but do we have someone

we might sometimes overlook. We have about 30 seconds, it is not about

poor handwriting, what else could possibly be letting down students?

The exams will be scanned into a computer and the examiner will not

be able to read it. You have been warned. It has been a pleasure.

Coming up next on BBC News we have the Film Mitchell review.
