22/09/2016 The Papers

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

With me are the journalist Yasmin Alibhai Brown

and Ben Riley-Smith, political correspondent

Tomorrow's front pages, then, starting with...

The Independent. It says Theresa May has been warned her plans for

grammar schools will push pure dosh poorer pupils further behind their

peers. The Daily Telegraph said British troops prosecuted for

alleged abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan may have their pay

docked to pay legal expenses. The gardening so is prominent Labour MPs

will reject a turn to the front bench if Jeremy Corbyn wins the

party leadership battle and fails to agree elections to the Shadow

Cabinet. The Daily Express insists the EU will give Britain a good deal

in Brexit negotiations because millions of jobs are at stake. The

Times report on the hacking at Yahoo which compromised 500 million

accounts. Great British Bake Off on the front of the Metro as it is on

the mirror. It says the BBC is likely to start rival programme to

Channel 4's. We will certainly get into that later. Let's begin with

the front page of the Guardian. Mr Corbyn are widely expected to win

the leadership contest on Saturday and he has to begin the process of

rebuilding and filling the front bench. Yes, but I think this is a

very, very extraordinary political moment and I don't think I ever

remember a political party being in this position because for the

political classes, they focus just on the MPs. But out there, the

support he has built up, Jeremy Corbyn, is truly impressive. And you

cannot ignore their voices. They are people who had given up on politics

and who have come back into it. It is a dilemma which, I don't know how

you would resolve it, it is like the Church of England and gay marriage,

maybe a split is inevitable in some form. The problem he has is that so

many talented politicians on the left drifting away to be Mayor in

Manchester or to be on select committees, anything but to be on

the front bench with him. You cannot ignore those hundreds of thousands

of supporters in the country and you cannot ignore the MPs who have been

voted by millions of people to represent them. The Guardian piece

is good and they have mentioned the Summer and the hectic moment when 60

Pulis frontbenchers walked out and they went through those names and

said, have you had talks with Jeremy Corbyn to come back? A lot of the

big names are not ready to come back. Stella Creasy, Callow -- Kerry

McCarthy, and people like Hilary Benn looking for big Parliamentary

rolls. Although he has won this big parliamentary mandate, he may get a

dozen people returning but he has 60 rolls to fill and how are they going

to fulfil the function of an opposition? I think the MPs also

have to grow up. You cannot have a process. You could criticise the

process initiated by Ed Miliband for ?3 50, you had this power to elect

the leader of the party. But you cannot have a process which was

validated by the NEC and just because you don't like the result,

behave and sulk for quite a long time. They have got to put some

majority into what they do next. The trouble is if you cannot bring the

party together, you get what we see on the front of the Daily Mirror,

that is senior figures from the sidelines. Yvette Cooper makes a

fair point, many would think. Extraordinary for a Labour

supporting paper to write at the top, Labour is now the nasty party.

Yes, that phrase resonates, Theresa May used it at the Tory conference

to describe the Tories and that is a worrying state of affairs. She is

talking about the guerrilla army of a lot of voters. Who use social

media in a most hideous way. This is not the official policy of anybody

in whichever side of the power structure you want to look at. What

they haven't done and I think this is what Yvette Cooper is saying,

they should have clamped down on this a long time ago and they chose

not to. And maybe they thought this was quite good, I don't know. Yes,

the heart of her argument is that you need to be proactive to stop

this. This will go to the National conference tomorrow. It is

patrolling and also the leader himself for not taking the task

people and she raises one example close to home, Labour supporters who

booed elliptical editor Laura Kuenssberg when she tried to raise a

question. I was that the debate and there was a lot of booing when her

name was called. And eventually, he told them to calm down but did not

immediately become proactive and tell them. Yvette Cooper is saying

to be proactive, not just warm words. She says, you need to

criticise your supporters when they undermine Labour values as well as

going after your supporters -- opponents. He says he totally

condemns abuse but she says, but more things into place to clamp

down. And they have put in new rules. They should expel members.

That is the driving of the wedge between them! You have to do

something, you cannot tolerate this. It will keep happening. The Daily

Telegraph, your paper. The paper is reading this evening with something

activating the MOD and the Army and that is legal cases, historical

allegations of abuse in Iraq and investigations. It is the third or

fourth time it has been on our front pages, we and our leaders care about

it and the Daily Mail has it on the front page today. There is a body

about the rock historic allegations -- Iraq. There are allegations of

war crimes which need to be dealt with seriously and looked at and it

needs to be determined whether cases get brought against the troops. Six

or seven years from the beginning of Iraq and when this body was taken

up, our paper feels the troops being seemingly held to account, people

have stepped far beyond the line in what they are doing. This is just an

example. All those cases brought by the lawyers get legal aid for the

coverage. Here, the troops have to pay from their own pocket, over

?12,000 and if it is over ?30,000,... Is it right lawyers get

this? I think the focus on the initiative side. That is not enough.

It is not just administrative, people face bankruptcy. What I find

worrying, the US never signed up to the international court in The

Hague. I thought that was wrong if it is an international court,

everybody should have been there. The reason they didn't sign up is

because they did not want soldiers in the wars we carry out is to be

held accountable. There is something wrong there as well, you cannot just

have Africans hold to it and the rest of us get away with it. And the

second fingers, of course there are heroic soldiers and very good

discipline -- second thing is. Not all soldiers, they are not heroes

and we need to look at where this has gone. That is a valid point but

one case held up today was a prosecution involving a Taliban

roadside bomb held up for 100 days trying to blow up British soldiers

and he did not like being held in custody. And it was not

controversial to say that he admitted the digging a hole is to

create a bomb. So you have the route that out, it is a balance. If we

hold ourselves up as part of the Western Alliance where we follow

rule of law, the rule of law has to apply to the nastiest people

otherwise we just go around shooting them. What is the next step? To get

the real tyrants in the world, even though this man wanted to kill us,

we have to go through the process and do what we have two with it. I

think that is the right thing to do. You are right, but there is a

balance and some scurrilous allegations are getting through. I

think this will get a lot of play tomorrow, on the times. 500 million

web users, put that into context. That is jaw-dropping. In the world,

they have had their internet history leaked. There are a lot of fake

accounts and company accounts, but it shows how staggeringly available

this information is. And that is Michelle Obama's passport which was

released by this hacking team that had got in. It is terrifying the

scale with which you can do this at the click of a couple of buttons.

How did they do it? We don't know who did it. With all this

information... I do not want to say but there are allegations. They are

saying it is state-sponsored which would be the most interesting. That

is why I think we will hear more about it. There it is a story at the

top of the times, the number of wretched unions, people married,

doubled. People living in deeply unhappy relationships. I am really

sad about this, we are living in times with more equality between men

and women, really quite good modern relationships and apparently, this

is happening. And it is happening, the figures are completely reliable.

One in 20 is extremely unhappy. Double the proportion in 2010. Is

this because life is so expensive? Getting divorced is expensive? You

get tied into big mortgages? There is a line of explanation from

experts. They said many couples who come together for financial reasons

and the recession have become less forgiving of each other's faults, so

it is the burden of the recession. What about the unhappy relationship

between the BBC and Channel 4 at the moment and the moving of the Great

British break of the Channel four. Mary Berry today has decided to

stick with the BBC and now we have this story saying the BBC might well

bring Mary, Mel and Sue back together. I just want to say three

women! They did the right thing. The bloke followed the money! Right,

well, yes! They say Nordea may go to Channel 4. I would have the revised

my theory. You could be her agent and Ascot prize. Should Channel 4 be

buying these programmes from the BBC? Michael grade and John

Whittingdale have said it should not be happening. I do not have a

particular issue with private companies taking over. Channel 4 is

not quite, it is an in between. I find it phenomenal the contract...

How in the contract negotiations did they not secure the most important

element which is the stars presenting it? They did not consult

the stars, from what I hear. Our media commentators said earlier that

apparently, there are instances where you sign a big contract and

the Thai people in. ITV had looked at buying the programme, but could

not be guaranteed the presenters and backed out. I just think, well done,

macro to. Well done, Mel and Sue. Could you watch it on Channel 4

without the three ladies? Mary Berry says she thinks the British public

something not quite right about something not quite right about

taking a show that was nurtured by the BBC. Even if it is the same

tent? No, no. That is all they have got now. We women have really high

morals! Yes, I don't know what the tent manufacturers say about that,

if they are going or not! Lets hope they have a deal on the tent!

Don't forget - all the front pages are online on the BBC News website,
