20/10/2016 The Papers

We are joined tonight by Lucy Fisher. We are also joined by Pete

editor. Let's have a look at some of the front pages. We start with the

Daily Telegraph. It leads with a story about migrants, saying the

Home Office is failing to verify whether child refugees have family

members in the UK able to look after them before they are brought here

from Calais. The mirror has Philip Green being called a spiv and

bounded by MPs who are recommending he lose his knighthood. The ices

Philip Green is coming under a sustained attack following the

collapse of BHS. According to the Guardian, ministers have ordered a

crackdown on companies that use a large number of self-employed or

agency workers. And the express leads with a health story, warning

two soft drinks a day doubles the risk of diabetes. We will start with

the Daily Telegraph. It dedicates most of his front-page to that

picture of the fleet, the frigate, the aircraft carrier from Russia,

making its way into British waters and heading to Syria. It looks like

a photo from World War II in colour. We rarely see pictures like that on

the front page. May's called to punish Russia over Syria is the

headline. This is Theresa May under pressure. She is in Brussels at the

moment with 27 other member states and is leading the call with France

to put further pressure on Vladimir Putin. It might be a nice break from

talking about Brexit for her. But interesting, Austria has come out

and says it does not agree with that tactic, to put sand shines on Putin,

but the Telegraph saying Number 10 sources are saying Theresa May was

to push for war crime charges. We heard from our correspondents saying

this is a bold and powerful strong message to Theresa May another

European leaders that they are not doing enough on Syria to bring the

conflict to an end and here is Russia doing what is needed. I don't

think Vladimir Putin cares what Theresa May or anyone else in Europe

says. This is an incredible statement to send the ships. They

are joining eight others who are off the coast of Syria. They have been

fully engaged in this war. Evidently, they are not needed.

Putin is very good at statements and making symbolic gestures. This is a

very... He will like this, that this is on the front pages. This plays to

his whole propaganda war and the sense that Russia is almost already

bought the West. He is fearless of talks of sanctions and war crimes?

Russia has come under such economic pressure but at the same time, this

nationalism plays very well with him home. His statements get an

international front pages and that is helpful to him. Meanwhile, Trump

making the front pages and the UK. This is the latest in a long line of

allegations against Donald Trump, that he does seem to be able to

shrug them off. I do not know if that is right. I think you will lose

this election. This is the tenth woman. Tearfully today, she

described allegedly Donald Trump groping her as she was waiting for a

car at the US Open in 1919 eight. For this particular event an

allegation change that much? I do not think so. There has not been a

presidential candidate in modern US history who has come back from the

deficit he is facing. What did the US debate last night tell us about

Donald Trump's popularity? You think these allegations plus some of the

things he has been saying are losing him support? I do. The real question

now is what becomes of the Republican party and how they

survive this. It is down the ticket as they say with the senators and

members of the House of Representatives. They are deeply

worried that Donald Trump will pull them down with him. If it was an

election here and the Prime Minister candidate for ten women accusing him

of sexual harassment, they would not survive, with the? He does seem to

just keep going. These are strange times in the West and Europe. Brexit

we saw post-truth politics, some people said with figures being flung

around, some of the campaigns were weeping. It makes me wonder whether

further down the line in the UK, whether we could see some kind of

shock jock celebrity. The trouble with the polls we are told though is

that there are a lot of sign old Donald Trump supporters as well who

do not want to publicly admit that they are supporting him and will

vote for him. How reliable are these polls? I am not sure the other

silent. Donald Trump supporters are pretty vocal. What he has done this

push away classic swing voters, suburban women, white college

educated voters, who are the key people he needs to attract. What

about the undecideds? The process is underway. It is possible he has lost

the election. It has changed America though. It must be interesting for

you to see how American politics has changed. I wonder what happens.

Yesterday in the debate, Donald Trump seemed to almost seize it when

he said the Hillary, lots of luck in dealing with terrorism down the

line, but even if he loses, this is ramping up of the idea the election

has been raped, there is dirty work behind the scenes, that will be a

big problem going forward. It will be an interesting night. Let's move

on to the daily Mirror, one of the number of papers reporting on the

overwhelming support of MPs to strip Philip Green of his knighthood. This

is a Philip Green, who was roasted today in the House of Commons. It

was a shooting gallery is MPs from all parties took pot shots at him.

It was pretty brutal. He had no choice but to watch from afar.

According to our business unit, he was actually watching the whole

thing and felt frustrated that some of the things that were said by MPs,

he felt were defamatory, but there was nothing he could do about that.

Inside the Commons, MPs have immunity to say what they like. Some

of the descriptions were extraordinary. Compared to Napoleon,

Robert Maxwell. But I think people are angry and there is a lot of

suspicion that MPs are moving to try to back into a corner these pension

deficits missing from BHS pension pots, as negotiations come to a

close, whether the can put into a corner to whip out his cheque-book.

There are other deficits another pension pots, though. It was a sign

of The Times as well. He is a public figure. He lived the life of the

billionaire. There may be tarring and feathering of Sir Philip Green

but that is the consequence I think of living in the red top lose. The

Guardian reported about young people being brought over from the jungle.

Again, the responsibility of whom? The jungle being deconstructed and

fears about what will happen to many of the migrants. He seemed to be

making conciliatory noises over the summer, saying, let's grant Britain

are quick divorce. You would think there is an election on! It is

interesting now, he is saying, the idea that the UK's board begins in

France, that will have to be renegotiated after Brexit. A lot of

charities and aid agencies operating in areas like Calais to complain

about the political rhetoric during election, the often migrants pay

heavy prices for a general election in the country. He may be doing what

American political candidates to, which is the view to the right

before veering back to the centre. Still a lot of newspapers reporting

on the fact that some of the children do not appear to be

children or just about children as well. Campaign group saying, some of

these young people have been children from the moment they left

places like Afghanistan. Having walked all that way, terrible tales

of what has happened or these arduous perilous journeys they have

been none. The computer software that some newspapers are employing

to the dues the ages of children, you cannot tell when children have

been exposed to the elements, trying to get to where they are now,

whether it would age anyone. It shows how hugely contentious the

issue of migration is though. Could Scotland be an independent country?

Another question for Theresa May! This one will not go away and Nicola

Sturgeon has drafted a new bill for another referendum, a second

referendum. This is as a result of the Brexit boat. She's saying, we

did not vote for this in Scotland, we have a clear mandate to push for

independence again if Brexit happened. Brexit happened. She is

not saying she will do this. She has always held back and she will use it

as leveraged to try and get as good a deal as possible at the point

where Brexit happens. I don't know if you know the answer to this. Is

there as much support for independence as there was at the

referendum now? Is this the SNP trying to be opportunist, seeing an

opportunity to keep the pressure up? There is a good deal of that. The

SNP splits are beginning to show now. The comedy guru has spoken out,

saying, we need to hold on, any new referendum should not be rushed. And

of course, the economic case is completely different now to what it

was back in September 20 14th with the collapse in North Sea oil. It

was not an overwhelming result in that referendum, there was not a

massive clear divide. It was 55-45. Nicola Sturgeon still has the toe

the line because it was once promised as a once in a generation

referendum but it does not feel like we have moved on. She is still

saying she respects the result but this bill is obviously manoeuvring.

Something else for Theresa May. You are confused about the next story,

new diabetes health story. I confess that I thought that diet cola and

diet soda had no sugar in them but that just shows what a sucker of a

consumer I am! I am completely wrong, according to the express. Two

soft drinks will give you type two diabetes or increase the chances of

getting type two diabetes, which is alarming and wish I'd that a while

ago! Some diet drinks do have sweetness in them, according to the

Daily Express, but it goes to show, we do not always know exactly what

is in our drinks. And food as well. We are told to read the ingredients,

measure how much fat and salt is in there, but I am rarely in a

supermarket, but I do not have time to read everything in it! I am a fan

of the traffic light system. Mainly green, a couple of orange or red is,

I think, show that in the trolley. It is difficult to know with

artificial sweeteners and preservatives and different things

and low-fat, low sugar products, the chemicals they replace them with are

equally as bad. When it comes to beating diseases like diabetes, we

have to take some responsibility for ourselves. We cannot totally rely on

it. We have run out of time, thank you very much for taking us through

some of tomorrow's papers. Or the front pages are online on the BBC

website or you can read a detailed review of the papers. You can see us

there to do with each night's addition of The Papers.

It is a fine prospect for many but for some, Friday will bring the

first foggy morning of the autumn season. Not everywhere but across

parts of Wales and the Midlands
