Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
With me are the Political Commentator, Jo Phillips | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
and the Political Editor of the Sunday People, Nigel Nelson. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
We start with the Observer that leads with a claim that the banks | :00:24. | :00:36. | |
will be locating outside the EU next year over Brexit fears. It welcomes | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
the arrival of child refugees from Calais, some under the landmark DUB | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
amendment which helps children. The Times welcomes the refugees but | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
their main story is a report from Louise Callaghan of the Iraqi | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
mission to liberate Mosul from IS. The situation in Calais dominates | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
The Sunday Telegraph but it claims the Home Office ignored warnings | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
such as age checks surrounding the arrivals. The Express claims to have | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
an exclusive, a row between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew over the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
official roles of Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugeneny. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Jo and Nigel, good to have you both with us. The Observer, leading banks | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
set to pull out of Brexit early next year. Nigel? They are talking about | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Britain's biggest banks are going to pull out so we must get rid of the | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
idea there'll be a NatWest on the high street or Halifax or something | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
like that, it's not that. The issue is over passporting and what is | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
happening is that if you have got a foreign bank located in London, it | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
has access to the EU market. Now we've got a warning from Anthony | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Brown who is the boss of the British Bankers' Association, saying that | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
these banks are likely to pull out in the New Year and reason being is | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
they won't be able to get access to Europe. We don't know any of these | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
things yet, it's all part of the Brexit deal. So it might be a bit | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
premature to rush away in a couple of months' time. But it's a serious | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
issue. If you are an American bank, the ones that I know have thought | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
about, look, it's obviously easier for us to base ourselves in | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Frankfurt, actually they don't want to live there, they want to live in | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
London, if they can't live in London they'll live in New York, so that's | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
probably where they'll end up. But, you are talking about 70,000 jobs at | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
stake according to the Observer and an awful lot of money will disappear | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
so it's important we get this deal. What is interesting Jo about this is | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
that, although there's been a lot of general talk about this in the past, | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
Anthony Brown is fairly specific in saying most of the international | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
banks now already have teams asen ed working out which operations they | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
need to move, the date at which to do it and how best to do it, their | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
hands are quivering at the relocate button? Many other businesses are | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
I'm sure already looking at it, whether it's retail or car makers, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
anybody that we trade with, whether they are based here or not, will | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
have an impact upon them, the costs of living and jobs, an impact on all | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
sorts of things. Probably business is slightly better prepared than | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
Government appears to be. As Nigel says, it seems slightly premature, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
they are talking about the smaller banks making plans to get out before | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Christmas. Not much time left! We have still got another two years to | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
go. Is this just lobbyists kind of, you know pushing their client's | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
interests? You know, they are talking about getting a better deal | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
here. Theresa May was in Europe this week and we didn't even start to | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
talk about a deal yet so we are some way down the road before we can work | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
out things like this, which are important things. Because the sky | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
hasn't fallen in just yet, there's almost this, well it will do in a | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
minute, you know, I know it hasn't been the project fear that everybody | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
says, but it's almost like they are trying to talk it up. We are given | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
stage by stage. The idea of a great Repeal Bill, so all European law | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
becomes British law, so we don't have to discuss that, the issue is | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
going to be now trade and it will be trade and the trade-off which is | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
going to be how much free movement we are prepared to accept. But that | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
will be the nub of that. For the banks to rush off before we have | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
even started talking, I think Jo is right, far too premature. Maybe next | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
weekend there'll be even more of this kind of thing as it's | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Halloween! Let's move on to another story on | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
the front. I don't see what the link is there. Project fear! I see, | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
people dressed up as clowns. That will be an interesting alternative | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
take on Halloween! A photograph of Carrie Mulligan clutching a toy | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
bear, always good for a campaign to have an actor or actress because you | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
get them on the front of the papers, she's a keen supporter of this | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
protest yesterday. This is over Aleppo? The People and the Mirror. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
This was a Sunday Mirror campaign, we have been working with 15 | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
charities and it was a march on Downing Street that Carrie Mulligan | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
spoke at. 200 teddy bears laid there, the purpose of the whole | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
thing was to remind Theresa May and Boris Johnson that children are | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
dying, 200 teddy bears represented the 200 children that have died | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
since the ceasefire came to an end. What the protesters were demanding | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
is, can we just have some action, at the moment we are getting absolutely | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
nothing from the British Government. But what sort of action? Now you | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
come on to the big question, there are two ways of ending this. One is | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
that we allow Putin and Assad to win the war as quickly as possible and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
bring it to an end. That seems to be unacceptable because too many | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
children would have to die. The second and obviously I'm | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
oversimplifying, is a no-fly zone, preferably negotiated with the | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Russians but we may have to impose them without negotiation. How would | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
you impose them without troops on the ground? We are talking no-fly | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
zones so you are trying to stop the bombing of Aleppo, stop the children | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
being killed in the awful numbers that it is at the moment. So that | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
means willing to shoot down jets? Yes. Various ideas have come up. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Boris Johnson's floated the idea of a no-bomb zone. A no-bomb zone is | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
that if they bomb, we then go and bomb them. That strikes me as more | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
dangerous than a no-fly zone, I mean what are you bombing, you don't | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
quite know. The whole thing is so utterly repugnant that people are | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
living in the most appalling conditions in Aleppo. We are all, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
you know, talking about it on tele-I haves and radio channels and in | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
newspapers around the world and nobody can do anything sensible to | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
stop it. The argument's got to be if that every time we back down against | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Putin because we fear World War three, we are not going to do | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
anything and it will be perpetual appeasement. I know that, but I | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
wonder about 200 teddy bears, you know. You start somewhere. It's | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
leading us on to what is happening in Calais because it would be a | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
sweeping generalisation to say the majority of the people there are | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
escaping the war, but a significant number will be and now this question | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
of the child refugees. There is an interesting suggestion that the | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Government may have shifted its position somewhat on which children | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
can be accommodated in the UK? Interestingly, apparently 50 girls | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
have arrived this evening which I think is the first girls that we | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
have seen, so given that we have been told about the vulnerability of | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
the children in the jungle camp, these are girls who mainly come from | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Eritrea, and they've been brought here because the people that, or the | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
kids that have come in last week have only been able to come here | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
because they've got relatives in this country. The DUBS amendment | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
after Lord Dubs, what a fantastic thing to do, actually made this | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
amendment so children could have safety. And that is what is | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
happening. So it was girls earlier. You don't have to work out that | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
girls are much more at risk in a place like that. The photo on the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
front of The Telegraph which is about Calais and the refugee camp | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
issues, and in about 24 hours they'll start to demolish the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
authorities, queueing for Britain, Nigel, this photo of a group of | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
people lining up to kind of put in their applications basically to be | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
processed? A really unhelpful photograph really because a lot of | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
them don't look like children in that photograph and what the story | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
that goes with it is about is that there were offers made to actually | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
test children to make sure they were children and... In so far as you can | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
possibly do it, yes. Yes, but there were offers from social services | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
departments, these two back to last August and the Government turned it | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
down, you can do it with dental checks, 17EU countries do that as a | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
standard routine to see how old somebody is and it's terribly | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
important it's children we take in, otherwise the public who at the | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
moment are very sympathetic to what is going on there, could change very | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
quickly. There is the legal side of this which is, I think I'm right in | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
saying, that under international agreements, if you are under the age | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
of 18, you cannot be sent back once you come to claim asylum, you cannot | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
be rejected. There is a nice take from this cartoon. This is from | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Matt. He's genius, there is a coach disappearing in the distance and a | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
sign saying "migrant welcome centre" and on the back of bus it says | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
"children on board" (apparently). That is absolutely the issue to the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
story. Let's move on then to our next story which is the Sunday | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Times. I was blown up and trapped by Isis guns says reporter Louise | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Callaghan, part of the operation, one of the dread word embedded | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
reporters travelling with the troops who're beginning the assault on | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Mosul? Yes. As anyone can see from this | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
photograph, she's sitting there with her hands over her mouth looking in | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
utter horror at what's happening. She's taking evasive action in a | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Humvee as Iraqi troops pound in Mosul. It's standard fare which | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
isn't to denigrate it at all. It's nasty and frightening, but I think | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
we all know it's been going on for six days now. Soon to move into its | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
seventh day. It's what happens afterwards. It's a nasty Basel but | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
what happens next? Contested part of Iraq, very close to the Kurdish | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
autonomous region, so there's pressures there. Absolutely and they | :11:33. | :11:48. | |
have already said they won't... Big stakes. A surprising thing was | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
hearing from the aid agency in the course of the week that people by | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
their thousands were fleeing into Syria to escape expected violence in | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Mosul. Yes. When you see reports like this, I think that the | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
temptation for a journalist on the ground is to describe the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
experiences they're going through. It's a brave thing to be going out | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
there and doing the kind of thing that Louise Callaghan is doing. Yes. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Also we know how dangerous the whole thing is. There are reports coming | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
out that 284 men and women who were human shields have now been executed | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
by Isis. You are dealing here with a really, really nasty enemy, so yes, | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
you would flee anywhere even Syria, just to get away from them. Let's, | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
as our little and finally, this quite fun story at the bottom. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Number Ten spin chiefs romantic blunder. It's a cautionary tale, Jo? | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Yes. Not so much about having flings but about being careful with your | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
mobile phone? Yes, it's not about having a fling at all actually. It's | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
about Sir Craig Oliver, late to Downing Street, former spin doctor | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
to David Cameron. He had sent a text to his then girlfriend who had come | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
into a meeting looking a bit flustered and he sent a text saying, | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
"you look shattered X, X, X," but he'd sent it to more than his | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
girlfriend, it had gone to fellow campaign chiefs, so everybody around | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the table, everybody sitting there, phones vibrating and it had gone to | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
the entire WhatsApp group of the campaign group, but, you know, these | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
things happen. His secret love wasn't secret much longer. Spin your | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
way out of that one. People put back on the app "you don't look so good | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
yourself, mate". Thank you Nigel and Jo, | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
you'll both be back at 11.30 for another look at the stories | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
making the news tomorrow. | :14:02. | :14:04. |
