29/08/2016 The Papers

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

With me are Jason Beattie, who's the Political Editor

of the Daily Mirror, and Mihir Bose, a columnist

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with?

The call by the head of the CBI for laxer regulations is headlined

The Metro's headline reads "Non, merci" in response to calls

in France for a new deal with Britain which would allow

migrants to claim asylum in Britain before they step on to British

The Telegraph has the same story on its front page,

adding that the Home Secretary is to meet her French counterpart

tomorrow to say that Britain will not negotiate changes

And The Daily Express says Britain is facing a "migrant disaster"

after the French proposal to change asylum rules.

The Guardian has a special report, saying the UN has awarded contracts

worth tens of millions of dollars to people associated

with President Bashar al Assad under the Syria aid programme.

The Daily Mail's headline is "le stitch-up", saying French calls

for asylum centre in Calais has sparked fury.

Plenty to get our teeth into. Let's start with the metro. This

subheading is, Home Office slab stone called by Calle chief to let

migrants claim asylum in France. Full what you have is post Brexit

fallout. France is saying, why do we have these rules could make you have

some genuine concern about what is happening in the Calle camp. There

is the lie are as many as 10,000 people living there in horrible

conditions. --. Noticeably, it's the potential right wing French

candidates, including Nicolas Sarkozy, and Alain Juppe, saying,

hang on, via we allowing the Le Touquet agreement, struck in 2003,

which says that we have border controls here. Then the local French

president of the region has gone one step further, saying, this agreement

is not working, people who want to apply for asylum in Britain should

do it here rather than waiting to cross. In the corridors of

Whitehall, as well as on the high streets of Britain, this is

contentious. The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, is going over tomorrow.

When she met Francois Hollande back in July, -- when Theresa May met

Francois Hollande in July, they agreed that the Le Touquet agreement

would stay in place. Immigration is quite an inflammatory issue which

sometimes, particularly in France, is a card you would play. Wet a lot

will depend on Amber Rudd's visit tomorrow. It is a treaty between two

countries. The other country could want to break that. It is nothing to

do with Brexit, they say, but obviously it is fallout from Brexit.

Depending on how the election goes, and Nicolas Sarkozy will probably

face Marine Le Pen in the final run-off, one could expect the claims

and counterclaims of the policies he advocates are going more towards the

idea of controlling immigration. I expect it is the first step of a

debate that will go on until well after the election. It is not part

of the Brexit negotiations. Wads of headlines on the same story, but

we'll move on to the Financial Times, where we are also talking

Brexit. He we go again! CBI calls for softer regulation as Europe

tries to woo city banks. Interestingly, it says this call for

more lax regulations as a delegation from Poland heads to London on a

charm offensive to lure some of Britain's biggest banks to Warsaw,

and it follows attempts from other European cities. The prize of London

banking is something that will have to fight hard for. Once we leave,

once the exit is made, a lot of the banking will move away, and London

will no longer be the banking centre. Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam,

even Poland, as you mentioned. This 8% tax on profits going is what they

are suggesting. You could understand banks asking for that of wide

business in the city would ask for, irrespective of whether the move

away from the city takes place or not. The Mirror has not always been

sympathetic towards the bankers. The element I was about to jump in and

say that they are pulling a fast one. -- I was about to jump in and

say they are pulling a fast one. They don't like the staff

regulations, they never have. They still fail to accept their guilt and

contribution towards other natural crash in 2008. And they got off

lightly. They did. Not a single banker in the UK has been jailed for

compared to the United States, where a large number have. Theresa May has

been very strong. The disparity between the haves and the people not

having that much has grown, and she wants to reduce the disparity. If

she suddenly takes the banks off of the naughty step, that would be

counter to what she has been suggesting. Perhaps a change of

leader would make the CBI's called desperate. I would be surprised if

the Conservative Party wasn't sympathetic to some of its major

backers who also happened to work in the city. I also do think this is

the city trying to exploit a situation. Here is another battle.

Same story, but a different one. Apple hit for billions in back tax

after Irish state aid ruling. It is likely to go appeal by both Apple

and Ireland, who both deny any wrongdoing, but they are saying that

it was illegal state aid from Ireland to lure Apple in. It has

been doing the rounds and there has been a battle between Silicon

Valley, American high-tech business, and Europe. It shows the European

Commission stepping in and getting back taxes from these naughty

companies like Apple. We all now about these huge multinationals who

don't pay tax to anyone. It is a battle that is ongoing. It reflects

some credit on the nasty European union and the European Commission

that they do look into these matters. Whether they were lightly

bring... Managed to enforce the demand for billions and whether it

will work is a different matter, but at least they are doing something

more than most governments. Jason, it is something that Apple and

Ireland say has nothing wrong with that. Normally there is a two-week

embargo period, but this was published in a snap, apparently. I

am fascinated because I remember going to Ireland in 2009 when the

come true was reeling from the economic crash. An Irish politician

said, the problem we have here is, we wanted Berlin levels of public

spending, as in Germany, and we wanted Bermuda levels of taxation,

and you can't have both. If this is true, for the Bennett of the

lawyers, Ireland has been doing sweetheart deals -- for the benefit

of the lawyers. All sorts of major companies have made their European

headquarters in Ireland because of the low taxation. Ireland gets some

of this investment, but it doesn't pay enough tax to pay for the health

system and so on. They needed the UK to help them out. They did have a

boom. And then they got a very big bust. Apple and Ireland deny any

wrongdoing. The Guardian, and I haven't seen on other front pages at

the moment, the UN aid mission in Syria pays millions to Assad's

regime. They suggest lots of links to the president and deals made

despite EU and UN sanctions. What is happening is that these are aid

programmes but they are going to organisations that are friends of

the Assad regime. One of them is linked to his wife. Or they are

going to organisations which are boosting farming and agriculture,

which is banned under the impositions of the EU, and there is

no guarantee that this money that is meant to provide aid is not actually

going straight to the Syrian regime and fuelling its military purposes

and what it is doing to its people. This will be damaging to all sorts

of charitable causes aimed at Syria, I suppose. The defence from the

United Nations, it has put its hands up and said, yes, what are we meant

to do? There is a humanitarian catastrophe taking place in this

country. We need to try to get aid to them. They cited a hotel bill,

saying there was $9 million spent in this hotel because it was the only

safe one that our people can work in, but if we don't stay there, we

can't even help a few people. They made this calculation, and it is a

difficult moral judgment, that if we can help just a few people who, as

we said other, are suffering appalling conditions, and almost six

years of civil war now, they are saying, if we can't do that, what

else are we meant to do? Walk away? It is a very messy, difficult moral

decision. I have some sympathy for the United Nations. If you're

dealing with totalitarian regimes and you then going to help people

there, for the best of reasons, to help the people who are not getting

basic supplies and so on, how do you divorce that from the control of a

totalitarian regime? Argument to walk away? The victims of the regime

will not be helped at all. It is such a difficult question. The Daily

Telegraph next. Heart attacks are 50% more likely to be missed in

women, a study has suggested. Apparently, many doctors think this

only affects middle-aged, overweight men, but symptoms of women, it says,

can be less obvious, meaning thousands of patients in need of

heart treatment are sent away. Jason. Reading between the lines of

this, there is not enough of the story to get the full picture of why

this is happening, it seems to come down to basic misogyny. Doctors, and

I presume they are both male and female, that heart attacks

predominately happened to men and they are not looking for those

symptoms among women, which makes you think, should they not be

trained to think otherwise? What is interesting here and disturbing is

that they seem to suggest that the symptoms are related to indigestion

or neck pain. This suggests that they don't do proper diagnosis of

what is happening. It is a case of, and we have heard it elsewhere, that

the GP tends to say, just taken indigestion pill that will be all

right. It was also in the Daily Telegraph, a small story, bottom

right, that caught our attention, which is that shoppers want fruit

and veg in pounds and ounces since Britain left the EU. This could have

been written at any point during the summer. Hats off to Christopher Hope

from the Telegraph, my old friend, for sneaking it in just before the

silly season wire comes slamming down. It is a great story. It is

unlikely to happen on the grounds that most of our scales, measurement

and packaging are already metric. You are keen, Anju? I am keen

because my weight would look much better. We would all be slimmer on

the beam it -- under the metric system. In the tennis, a great win

for Kyle Edmonds, who is 20, 21? One would say this is the dividend of

Rio. It is a great victory against Richard Gasquet. He is top 15? Yes,

13th seed at the US Open. There has been evidence that this is more than

just... Andy Murray is exceptional player and has a good chance of

winning the US open this year, and I would be surprised if he didn't. I

don't want to put the mockers on him by saying that. The other Mike bets

are off. And some football stories as well. Wayne Rooney to continue as

England captain in the Guardian. Joe Hart informing Manchester City he

wants to joint arena. Joe Hart's fall has been quite dramatic. Six

months ago, he was undoubtedly the best goalkeeper in the country and

no one would have thought that in not being in goal in an England

team. With Pep Guardiola coming in, new manager, look at changing the

team, and Manchester City doing well and so on, and Joe Hart, I feel a

bit sorry for him. He will probably have lost his hair shampoo contract,

for a start! Jason, as a fan of London clubs in general... Don't

make me mention Charlton Athletic! Have they got a good goalkeeper? A

good one on loan from Norwich at the moment. An interesting selection,

but the tennis is the main photo on the back page in the sport section

of the Guardian. Let's finish with this sad news that Gene Wilder has

died. When I was watching it with our film critic earlier, we were

watching the clips and, although it is sad that he has died, we were

howling with laughter. He was a master of comic acting, wasn't he?

Yet I was watching Blazing saddles, and he brought out the dramatic

situation, and the humour, which was so funny. Everyone mentions Willy

Wonka, but it was the films he did with Mel Brooks that I thought were

the great ones. I love The Producers. Which has gone extremely

well. Young Frankenstein. These were 70s and 80s, so it shows how long

ago they were. But he was very good at sharing the limelight with a

co-star, bouncing off another character. There was a slight

melancholy in his eyes as well, like a lot of comedians. He had a darker

side. Heaven will be laughing more now, which is superb. Superb timing.

You saw him and you realise that when he delivered those lines, the

way he delivered them... Thank you both very much indeed for your

input. We will be coming back to the papers for another look and to see

what else is coming in just over half an hour. Don't forget, all the

front pages are online on the BBC News website. Also there, you can

read a detailed review of the papers, and you can see us, with

each night's edition of The Papers being published after it is

finished. We'll be back later. It's been a nice day for most of us.

A lovely evening, lots of clear skies. The week ahead looks not bad

at all. Dry and warm in the southern half of the UK. The further north

you go, the weather will be more
