friendship get caught up in the middle of their parents' feud. We | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
will get Mark Kermode's thoughts on that and the rest in the film | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
review. A warm welcome. With me are the political | :00:07. | :00:21. | |
commentator, Lance Price, and the parliamentary journalist, | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Tony Grew. Tomorrow's front | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
pages, starting with: The Telegraph leads on Britain's | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
accusation that Russia is guilty of war crimes with its intense | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
bombing of civilians in Syria. The Times claims this bombing | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
includes the use of napalm by the Russia-backed Syrian | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
government features - the papers says that more | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
than 200 civilians have died since the ceasefire | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
collapsed last week. The Metro focuses on the Labour | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell's refusal to apologise after saying | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
that former Conservative disabilities minister Esther McVey | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
should be 'lynched'. Alleged infighting amongst the Tory | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
front bench is highlighted in the 'I' - with allegations | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
from senior MPs that Prime Minister Theresa May | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
failed to properly back Britain's decision to leave | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
the also dominates the FT - the paper reports fears in the City | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
that the government is leaning towards a so-called 'hard Brexit' | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
that would damage business The Sun splashes on its exclusive | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
interview with England footballer Jamie Vardy - and his remorse over | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
racially abusing a student. And Prince George and Princess | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Charlotte adorn the Mail's front page - as the Cambridges | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
continue their Canadian Royal Tour. Let's begin. We have the mirror in. | :01:27. | :01:43. | |
They have a lot of coverage of the Labour Party Conference. I know you | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
are known to be on the moderate wing of the party, shall we say. The | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
right of the party, I don't know how you want to describe it but how do | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
you see the party now after Jeremy Corbyn's resounding re-election? The | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Daily Mirror is that most prone labour newspaper. It is the one that | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
consistently supports the Labour Party and put the gloss on the | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
stories. Battlelines drawn as conference opens. A picture of the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
leader and the deputy leader looking like a couple of hoods from the back | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
streets of Chicago. It makes it clear that despite the pleas the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
unity from Jeremy Corbyn and his speech yesterday, that the two sides | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
of the party clearly are in no mood to bury the hatchet and no mood to | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
give up on what they see as two very, very different perspectives of | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
how the Labour Party should go forward and that was spilling out in | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
a lot of the speeches that had been made in the fringes of the | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
conference. How do you see Jeremy Corbyn now? Is he going to, as he | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
says, wipe the slate clean, unite the party? Or will he try for a | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
purge of the right? I think Lance is for the reality -based part of the | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
party. He is not going to unite the party. He has ruled out MPs for the | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
shadow cabinet which would be a significant olive branch. He is | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
talking about giving more say to the members and increasing democracy. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Even in this copy, today, Jeremy Corbyn has questioned the government | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
's decision to increase the number of people working for our security | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
services. Does he not live in the same world as the rest of us? Does | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
he not see the security situation we face? No, he doesn't. It is a | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
socialist nonsense. He doesn't live in the world we live in, a strange | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
socialist bubble, he lives in. That is what is dangerous. It is a fight | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
between reality -based Labour people. And Jeremy Corbyn people. | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
One of the more worrying comments that Jeremy Corbyn made was that the | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
majority of Labour MPs would have nothing to fear. That would suggest | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
that some would have something to fear and a -- it looks like they | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
would be keen to get rid of them. Some people around Jeremy Corbyn | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
will be giving them all the encouragement they need. The problem | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
is, Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonald are still fighting a battle to | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
control over the Labour Party. They are not interested in the battle to | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
try and persuade the public to support Labour. Jeremy Corbyn has | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
won 62% of the vote, overwhelmingly, he has the support of the party | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
membership. Depending on what poll you look at, most people in the | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
country describe themselves as centre, centre-left or centre right. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
There are around 10% that are far less. Yes, they are voting in Jeremy | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
Corbyn. But the Labour Party needs to win marginal seats that are | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
presently held by the Tories. You don't do that with far left | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
politics. Onto the Daily Mail. A different story. Furia at Blair | :05:17. | :05:30. | |
warcrimes. -- fury at. If they are going to look at troops being | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
prosecuted for allegedly fences being committed on the battlefield, | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
the Daily Mail as saying that they shouldn't be those investigations. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
He agreed that the International Criminal Court and took us to war in | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
the first place. It is a very, very thin story, to be honest. In that | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
case, let's move on. In the Times, there are rumblings, a row, between | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
friends or people close to David Cameron. People close to the reader | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
may as well. After a lot of stories criticising Theresa May, her people | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
are now hitting back at David Cameron. There to -- there appears | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
to be real tensions within the Tory party. There is allegations that | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Theresa May told David Cameron not to take a hard line on immigration | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
when he was talking with Angela Merkel. He was scared of the German | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
Chancellor. The director of killing patients at Downing Street has | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
managed in the space of three months to write a full book with criticisms | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
of Theresa May saying that she was disloyal to David Cameron and did | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
not support the remain campaign. There is a proxy war going on. It | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
will get worse at the Conservative Party conference next week. Lance, | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
as a former spin doctor, you surprised how quickly the Downing | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Street spin doctor has come out with a book question mark is extra | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
ordinary. I wrote a book five years after working with Tony Blair. I got | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
it in the neck. I was told it was too soon. These are books coming out | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
within weeks of leaving office which raises the question of whether they | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
were working on them while they were still in the job. Any person in the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
job keeps a diary and is already thinking about the book they might | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
write afterwards. It makes the revelations more relevant, in a | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
sense. Very relevant. That is why it is threatening to Theresa May. My | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
boss Alistair Campbell did this. Not only protect their own role but | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
protect the legacy of the Prime Minister they worked for. This | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
person is doing it for David Cameron but in the process, damaging his | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
successor. The Scottish version of the Daily Telegraph has a story | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
about Nicola Sturgeon. The independence for Scotland. Can you | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
explain what that is about? No. The thrust of it is that Nicola Sturgeon | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
can use Brexit tattoo leveraged more powers from London and thereby | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
putting Scotland in an optical position. -- optimal. The supporters | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
are very keen and people are very keen to have a referendum on Brexit. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
As soon as possible. This suggests waiting, seeing what they can get | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
out of the British government and thinking about independence as an | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
aspiration. The Telegraph, not the Scottish edition but the other | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
addition, has Britain as accusing Vladimir Putin of warcrimes. The | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
whole situation in the latter was so distressing. So many people are | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
dying. These accusations in the end a possibly meaningless, are they? | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
The Russians and the Syrian government are going to continue? I | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
feel that is right. It has been extraordinary in the General | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Assembly. People turning on both the Russians and the Syrians and | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
accusing them of warcrimes all very close. That is almost all that the | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
rest of the West have not, the rest of the international community have | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
got left in their armoury. They are not going to do in any way take on | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
the Russians in the skies in Syria. There is nothing they can do | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
militarily but there is a faint hope that even words as strong as these | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
will do anything to stop the carnage. It is interesting. When you | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
think about who is going to be the next president of the United States, | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
how Russia handles itself, that could be key. There is a lot of | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
people that say that Obama's alleged weaknesses in Boldon Vladimir Putin | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
and Russia. -- embolden. Looking ahead to what's the big TV debate | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
which is tomorrow night. Clinton versus Trump. 90 minutes. It will be | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
quite a good watch. Interesting. The pickup would you saying, one of the | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
things Hillary Clinton will be talking about is the importance of | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Nato. The importance of the alliance. What we have is the unity | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
within that structure and that is what people will be explaining the | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. Will they get them into the room and tell them to be | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
calm or will he say one outrageous thing which will then vent all | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
courage on the debate. Going into a debate like that, the polls are | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
almost neck and neck. And they are narrowing. It will talk about the | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
pivot in the campaign and they are expecting Trump at some point the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
pivot from being this populist that says everything that he likes to | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
being a more presidential candidate and that has not happened. I think | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
the advice he will want to receive and therefore the advice that a lot | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
of people around him will give him will just be to carry on being | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Donald Trump and that poses a challenge for Hillary Clinton. She | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
is clearly the better qualified but we have seen before, if you look at | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Al Gore versus George W Bush, the first time around when he ran for | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
president, Al Gore was better qualified but he looked almost | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
sneering because he looked down on George W Bush. If she does anything | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
similar to that, even though he lives through his teeth, he offends | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
everybody, she could still come out of this debate tomorrow night the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
loser. That is a very, very serious threat to her campaign. Tony? I | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
could not possibly predict who will win. The other people we need to | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
focus on other moderators. He constantly tells lies and I would | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
expect the moderators to pick him up on those lies. To stop in and say | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
no, that is not true. But the problem that American media and TV | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
have if they are just filming him saying outrageous things but they | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
don't stop him and question him? If Hillary Clinton is standing there | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
and saying "Liar, liar, pants on Fire", it may backfire. Laura Trott | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
and Jason Kenny, the heroes at Rio after their golden performances in | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Rio, they got married and managed to keep it a secret. Quite an | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
achievement. a bike made for two. Amazing that we | :12:48. | :13:00. | |
are talking about the fact that these people got married and didn't | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
sell it on Hello magazine. It is nice, isn't it? It is nice. I had | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
the sense that the editor was saying, why didn't we get the story | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
of this wedding?! Rather nice picture of Laura Trott with the | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
couple's dogs, posted by Jason Kenny, and he tweeted, good morning, | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
Mrs Kenny. That is rather lovely. Anyway, thank you both very much | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
indeed. Always nice to end on a sweet note. It is. That is it from | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
the papers. Coming up next year on BBC News, it is the Film Review. | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
