Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the political commentator Jo Phillips, | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
and the political editor of Sunday People, Nigel Nelson. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Welcome to you both again. Let's update you with what is happening on | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
this front pages. The Observer leads on a claim | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
by the British Bankers' Association that the UK's biggest banks | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
will relocate outside the UK next It also welcomes the arrival | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
of child refugees from Calais, some of them brought here under | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
the landmark Dubs amendment, The Times also mentions | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Calais and refugee arrivals, but their main story | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
is an account from reporter Louise Callaghan of the Iraqi | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
mission to liberate the city dominates the Telegraph's front | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
page, but the paper focuses on claims that the Home Office | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
ignored warnings about the issues - such as age checks - | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
surrounding their arrival. to have an exclusive | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
on its front page - a row between Prince Charles | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
and Prince Andrew over the official roles of Andrew's daughters | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Beatrice and Eugenie. More of that in a moment. Let's | :01:19. | :01:31. | |
begin with the Sunday Telegraph and a very striking photograph on the | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
front of the paper. If very striking photograph of quite a lot of young | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
men, some wearing hoods will stop one has his face covered with a | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
scar. According to the caption, these are hopeful migrants queueing | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
outside the enclosure where the dish officials are processing the claims | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
of unaccompanied minors -- scarf. It is not the most helpful photograph | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
because they certainly do not look like children. They may be under 18 | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
but not the vulnerable children we are supposed to be helping. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Certainly that will be the opinion of a lot of people. The story the | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
Telegraph has here is reporting that ministers have basically ignored | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
offers of help mainly from local government through the Local | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Government Association and local councils, because they have to look | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
after the kids. They offered to send social workers and support with | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
Ajax. So this is all being done in a rush. -- age checks. It has | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
backfired terribly. People do genuinely care about children. You | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
think of the little boy jamming on the beach in Greece. The little boy | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
in the back of the ambulance in Aleppo -- drowning. But people do | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
not expect to see young men jumping the queue because they will be | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
vulnerable and girls -- girls and children. Who are looking after | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
these young people? They will be foster parents. They have a right to | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
feel safe and decent, honest about it. Nigel, it is a fine line between | :03:12. | :03:24. | |
helping and fearing that somehow the immigration system is being | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
manipulated. Yes, there really is a public relations exercise that has | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
to go along with it. Most people are very sympathetic to the plight of | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
children in the jungle in Calais. So taking children over here whether | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
they have relatives here or are unaccompanied, that is fine provided | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
they are children and our honourable. What seems to have gone | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
wrong here, apart from the shambolic organisation leading up to the | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
closure of the camp, there were offers of help given back in August | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
-- vulnerable. Social services could have checked things like dental | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
records and established the age of the children. All people are asking | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
is that stood out. -- let's do that. We should be doing it. It should | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
have been better organised. The picture shows these people are just | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
crying desperately to get into the country. This is not organised. In | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
2015, nearly two thirds of child asylum seekers whose age was | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
disputed were found to be adults, around 900, so 600 people. They are | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
taking spaces that should be going to children. And there is a question | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
of public confidence. Yes, but at the bottom of the queue at the kids | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
who are left behind. Let's talk about that story on the front of the | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Sunday Express referred to in the introduction. This is about the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and whether or not they should have an | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
official role. It is a great headline. It is a great headline. We | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
have everybody, Prince Charles, the Queen, return true -- Prince Andrew. | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
Broadly the story is saying that Prince Andrew once his daughters to | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
have a proper role, to basically join and get some royal duties and | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
get some taxpayer funded accommodation at Kensington Palace. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
Prince Charles is against this totally, and somewhere in the middle | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
is the Queen, who presumably will have to say yes or no. At the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
moment, my sympathy is with the princesses. I think the rural family | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
to need an injection of royal blood. Provided they get on with the job, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
which obviously one would hope they would do, I think it would be ideal | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
to actually drive them in for a number of roles. -- draft. Prince | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
Andrew has not had a great press. Neither has their mother. I would be | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
happy to give them a chance and let them have a go. Do you not think | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
they have had a chance in the years grown-up? They have not had an | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
official role. They are in their early 20s. What Prince Andrew is | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
suggesting according to this report is give them that official role. It | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
would have to be taxpayer funded. If you are going to slowly reduce the | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
role of some of the older members of the Royal family, Princess Anne is | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
in her 60s and has been quite busy over the years. She will slow her | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
engagements down and maybe they could move up into that sort of | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
role. I want to know precisely what role Princess Beatrice and Eugenie | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
might add to anything? They could open things. They could enhance the | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
charity of some... Can I tell you, my local theatre in Canterbury, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
which does a marvellous pantomime every year, a couple of years ago | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
did Cinderella, and they happen to name the ugly sisters Eugenie and | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
Beatrice. I am just mentioning it. That shows at least they have made a | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
public impact. Maybe we should be capitalising. What about | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
international pressure on? As ugly sisters? No. Representing Britain on | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
the international stage. A little bit like Prince Andrew has been | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
doing on the getting business for Britain? I don't think you can visit | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
the sins of the Buddha on the daughters. -- father. I wonder what | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Eugenie and Beatrice would bring to anything given that neither of them | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
have shown any aptitude for doing anything other then not particularly | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
going to work. Let's give them a chance and some work experience and | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
see what happens. Let's turn to Page four, which we can't do, | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
unfortunately, and they will find out the rest of the story. Let's | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
move onto more sobering stories, and that is the fate of banks after | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Brexit. One of the stories that doesn't sound terribly new or | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
suppressing. This is Anthony Brown, the Chief Executive of the British | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Bankers' Association, warning that the Republican political debate over | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
Brexit is taking us in the wrong direction because the banks, which | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
is not a street, the big banks based in Britain, are preparing to | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
relocate. Some of them as soon as Christmas or by Christmas, and the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
others early next year. Because there won't be able to trade | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
injuries once Brexit happens, once we are no longer in the EU -- US. | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
This mysterious passport system. So you are a bang from America or Hong | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
Kong, because you are in Britain, in Europe at the moment, you can carry | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
on doing that sort of stuff -- bank. No obstacles. Hissene Habre say this | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
may not work so well once we get Article 50. We may need to relocate | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
to Frankfurt or malign or whatever -- so the banks say. 70,000 | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
financial jobs... One of our biggest exports, financial services. And | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
over one Chilean pounds. But he would say that, because he | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
represents the bankers! Trillion. The idea they will all rush off in | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
the New Year, I think that is pretty unlikely. The first thing that will | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
happen is we have to get the Brexit negotiations going. This will play a | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
major part in it. The role of the city of London in a post- Brexit | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Britain will be hugely important. The banks ought to hold fire for a | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
little while and see what is going on. If American bankers want to go | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
given for the rather than buzzing London, off they go. But I think | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
they would rather stay here. The danger, although other European | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
countries are vying for their business and patron edge, the danger | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
of is the is that most of them would go back to America -- patronage. If | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
there is no benefit being here, you may as well be in New York. That one | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
will come back again and again until the negotiations are concluded. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Let's take about -- talk about a story that never seems to go away, | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
five years into the conflict in Syria. This picture on the front of | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
the Observer of Carey Mulligan holding a teddy bear. Your newspaper | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
knows about this. We have been supporting the 15 charities | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
organising the protest today. Carey Mulligan water daughter's teddy | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
bear. There are another 200 of them to represent each child that has | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
been killed since the ceasefire broke down last month -- brought her | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
daughter's. The point of the demonstration is to get some kind of | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
action from Theresa May and Boris Johnson. At the moment, nobody knows | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
what to do. That is not to underestimate the difficulties of | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
doing something. Boris Johnson says demonstrate outside the Russian | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Embassy. Yes, he does. It is all well and good saying Theresa May and | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
Boris Johnson, but it is down to President Putin and President Assad. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
But if we can't get them around the table, the next age is going to be | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
some kind of restriction over flying over Aleppo -- the next stage. If | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
you have aircraft can't go into a no-fly zone, the whole thing is, it | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
is hugely dangerous. We know the risk of a confrontation, dogfight in | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
their over Aleppo between us and the Russians could start world War | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
three. But that is a very... President Putin would have to be | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
totally mad to allow that to happen. With plenty of warning the -- | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
beforehand, it could work. Let's go to the Sunday Times. We don't have | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
much time left. But the photo story at the top about Islamic State. Yes, | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
this is the report from one of the embedded reporters who is out in | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Mosul. I mean, it does feel like we are just talking about war, and it | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
is really horrifying. What is going on in Syria, Mosul is into its sixth | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
or seventh day, this battle for a key time in a right. It is not so | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
much who wins the battle but what happens afterwards -- in Iraq. We | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
have had not very politically diplomatic manoeuvring is with the | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
government saying they don't want anything to do with Turkey. Will it | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
make ISIS retreat August where else? It comes back to there are ordinary | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
people start their -- or go somewhere else. There is no quick | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
resolution. There is no quick resolution. We should welcome the | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
fact that we are going to recapture Mosul, the Allies, and it is a start | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
in the right direction. Islamic State is on the run. We are | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
gradually pushing them back. We have taken 35% of their territory. All of | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
these things must be good. Probably the only way we will ever deal with | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
them is a military victory. But in the meantime, so-called Islamic | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
State have rounded up and killed and boys. They have been used as human | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
shields. A rather sombre note to end on, but that is how it ends. And | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
that is how it is on the front pages. Thank you for joining us for | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
the papers. My thanks for giving us such an interesting take on what | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
they have been saying on the front pages to mind. That is it from us. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
More news at the top of the hour. Coming up next, The Film Review. | :14:23. | :14:24. |
