pursuit quartet in Rio. Congratulations to hurt them.

:00:00.:00:00.

Now on BBC News here's Gavin Esler with The Papers

:00:00.:00:19.

Hello and welcome to our look at The Papers. Let's have a look at the

:00:20.:00:29.

front pages. The Observer leads and the claim by the British bankers

:00:30.:00:33.

Association that some of the UK's biggest banks are preparing to be

:00:34.:00:37.

located outside the UK next year overpacked -- Praxiteles.

:00:38.:00:43.

The Times also mentions Calais and refugee arrivals,

:00:44.:00:45.

but their main story is an account from reporter Louise Callaghan

:00:46.:00:48.

of the Iraqi mission to liberate the city of Mosul

:00:49.:00:50.

The situation in Calais also dominates the Telegraph's front

:00:51.:00:53.

page, but the paper focuses on claims that the Home Office

:00:54.:00:56.

ignored warnings about the issues - such as age checks -

:00:57.:00:59.

And the Express claims to have an exclusive on its front

:01:00.:01:02.

page, a row between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew over the official

:01:03.:01:05.

roles of Andrew's daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.

:01:06.:01:09.

Leading banks set to pull out of the UK early next year overpacked said.

:01:10.:01:18.

City chiefs are poised to hit the relocated button. Is this Project we

:01:19.:01:22.

are again or somehow project fact when it happens? It is probably a

:01:23.:01:30.

bit of both. He is saying, rather graphically, that some banks are

:01:31.:01:34.

offering their fingers over the relocated button and are thinking of

:01:35.:01:38.

going. They would say that. They are lobbying for their own interests. We

:01:39.:01:43.

have heard this before from the banks. There have been reports of

:01:44.:01:48.

the 70,000 jobs could go. There is a fundamental truth which is that the

:01:49.:01:52.

banks like being in London. While there is talk of them being lured to

:01:53.:01:57.

Paris or Frankfurt, bankers enjoy living in London. His lobbyist for

:01:58.:02:10.

banks lobbying for bikers. Bikers also like Monday -- like money and

:02:11.:02:14.

if they thought they had a better chance in France, the France -- the

:02:15.:02:22.

French were trying to lure them to Paris with little adverts. I think

:02:23.:02:25.

they will go where they think they make the biggest profits and they

:02:26.:02:30.

can afford to let up on these leases in London which are overpriced

:02:31.:02:35.

anyway. Restaurants are better in Britain than in France, anyway.

:02:36.:02:40.

Paris isn't as interesting in as many ways. It is thanks to the

:02:41.:02:45.

bankers that we have such fantastic food in London and all these things

:02:46.:02:49.

because they have pumped money through London for 20 years. They

:02:50.:02:55.

ordered the most sympathetic lobby group after 2008. They have become

:02:56.:03:00.

literally pantomime villains. With some justification. The problem is

:03:01.:03:06.

as an economy we are over relied on the financial sector, so this is

:03:07.:03:09.

part of the intense lobbying campaign with the government. It is

:03:10.:03:15.

special pleading if you like, but it is pleading the government cannot

:03:16.:03:19.

ignore because they are important to the economy. The Observer also have

:03:20.:03:25.

this. 50 refugee girls arrive after U-turns by officials. They also have

:03:26.:03:32.

Kerry Mulligan clutching a toy bear. What do you make of this story and

:03:33.:03:38.

the way in which some people who are celebrities, Lily Allen as well,

:03:39.:03:45.

have come out and talked about this? I am not sure what the use of

:03:46.:03:49.

celebrities does except to make people more cross. As a woman, it is

:03:50.:03:53.

lovely to see girl children being brought in because one of the

:03:54.:03:57.

biggest problems for all people deal with the refugee crisis is that all

:03:58.:04:03.

we see is young men. To most of this, even when we see our

:04:04.:04:07.

home-grown young men standing on the corners in groups all we see is a

:04:08.:04:12.

trouble. The idea we will bring in even more young men who stand on

:04:13.:04:15.

street corners and get cross with each other is pretty terrifying to

:04:16.:04:20.

people. It is very important to be reminded that there are girls there

:04:21.:04:25.

and young women there because we see them possibly as an integrated

:04:26.:04:30.

future. They tended to be invisible in much of the coverage. When the

:04:31.:04:39.

young men came in, there were a lot of photographs. I am not sure why

:04:40.:04:43.

that is. Are we protecting them from traffickers or whatever. We seem to

:04:44.:04:50.

treat women differently and we are not sing enough girls and women. The

:04:51.:05:01.

Observer coverage is about the young girls and the pictures that have

:05:02.:05:05.

been around, they are very young. The journey between 13 and 17. There

:05:06.:05:08.

is a problem of perception because the first draft of people coming in

:05:09.:05:19.

looked of dubious age. There were warnings from border officials that

:05:20.:05:21.

many migrants were posing as children to get into the country

:05:22.:05:27.

when they were substantially older. There is good coverage around the

:05:28.:05:30.

fact that the latest group of refugees are girls. It is

:05:31.:05:34.

unfortunate that are in the second set of arrivals, rather than the

:05:35.:05:48.

first. Even the Brexit problems are that you are only seeing male

:05:49.:05:53.

refugees coming in. Again, it is that sense, to me, of an importation

:05:54.:06:04.

of aggression. Good for Kerry Mulligan for speaking up. It

:06:05.:06:07.

wouldn't have got the coverage if it wasn't for this sort of celebrity

:06:08.:06:11.

endorsement. It is what it is. It is done for a reason, quite rightly. It

:06:12.:06:17.

expands the coverage and that is a good thing. There is a different

:06:18.:06:26.

take from the Telegraph. Warnings as child migrants try to cross the

:06:27.:06:32.

Channel. It is the typical photo of young men with their faces covered,

:06:33.:06:36.

which makes us feel anxious because those images we associate with

:06:37.:06:46.

violent activities. If you juxtapose that with the Observer story, it is

:06:47.:06:53.

two different sides of the same story. It depends where you sit and

:06:54.:06:59.

look at it. The Telegraph have a lot of the warnings. There is a

:07:00.:07:03.

suggestion Chief inspectors of workers have warned that people were

:07:04.:07:07.

posing as migrants and children as much as three years ago. Suggestions

:07:08.:07:13.

that council officials offered to help with age verification have been

:07:14.:07:17.

shunned by various authorities. The Telegraph agenda is to pull together

:07:18.:07:21.

all the fears and preconceptions about the fact people are trying to

:07:22.:07:25.

pose as children to get in and reaffirming it. The picture is the

:07:26.:07:29.

key part of that. There is not too much mentioned about the group of

:07:30.:07:33.

young girls the kingpin. It is the focus on the bogus element. One of

:07:34.:07:40.

my favourite cartoonists is on the front page. It says children on

:07:41.:07:47.

board apparently. On the front page of the Telegraph we also have a

:07:48.:07:51.

story which will please a lot of people. Nuisance phone call bosses

:07:52.:07:54.

to face Avei million pounds in fines. You get these nuisance phone

:07:55.:08:02.

calls and that they could face fines. They come often via internet

:08:03.:08:12.

phones so that is no redress because in the old days you could keep them

:08:13.:08:16.

hanging on until they were paying huge phone bills if nothing else for

:08:17.:08:21.

the price of knowing you. Now they bring fire escape or similar and

:08:22.:08:27.

just stay on for ever. I think the problem with this isn't that most of

:08:28.:08:33.

these companies close. They go into liquidation as soon as they are

:08:34.:08:38.

fined. Somebody phoned up and it was a person who said how are you today?

:08:39.:08:45.

I thought this is completely anonymous. They are just trying to

:08:46.:08:54.

come up with an introduction other than I heard you have been involved

:08:55.:08:57.

in an accident. The key thing is pinning it on the directors. They

:08:58.:09:00.

liquidate the company is immediately so what the government is saying,

:09:01.:09:05.

good work has been done on this by consumer groups who have led the way

:09:06.:09:09.

on this in terms of saying that crackdown on these people. Let's see

:09:10.:09:12.

if it works. It is all good work has been done on this by consumer groups

:09:13.:09:15.

who have led the way on this in terms of saying that crackdown on

:09:16.:09:18.

these people. Let's see if it works. The result was in theory, but I

:09:19.:09:20.

don't think it. These calls, unfortunately. You can of course

:09:21.:09:24.

ring the telephone service and get your phone number ticking off these

:09:25.:09:28.

lists. I do it regularly for me and my mum. Top consumer tips. The

:09:29.:09:40.

Sunday Times. I was entrapped by Isis Dons. This is about Mosul and

:09:41.:09:47.

other parts of that conflict. It points out the risks people, war

:09:48.:09:51.

correspondents, have to take to do their job. It is an extremely

:09:52.:09:55.

dangerous job and I think it will get more dangerous for these

:09:56.:09:58.

embedded correspondents were those on the outskirts of Mosul as they

:09:59.:10:03.

get closer to the city and the fighting is likely to get harder and

:10:04.:10:07.

more difficult and dangerous. There is already a suggestion that as many

:10:08.:10:12.

as 250 men and boys used as human shields have been killed in Mosul.

:10:13.:10:17.

It is going to get worse before gets better and the idea that Islamic

:10:18.:10:22.

State or so embedded with the population just that everybody at

:10:23.:10:25.

greater risk, both soldiers and civilians. They have been there for

:10:26.:10:30.

more than two years. Children are not quite to school for two years

:10:31.:10:33.

because they have been indoctrinated. It is terribly sad.

:10:34.:10:42.

On a point of process, I am not sure I like personal stories on front

:10:43.:10:48.

pages. I want the personal stories inside, even on a Sunday newspaper

:10:49.:10:57.

and a more conventional story on the front page. I don't want something

:10:58.:11:02.

that starts with the reporter on the front page. It doesn't diminish her

:11:03.:11:12.

bravery in doing the job. She doesn't have to be there in the

:11:13.:11:15.

sense she is doing her job and is reasonably well-paid by the Sunday

:11:16.:11:23.

Times for doing it and that is very different for the people who are

:11:24.:11:27.

trapped in their everyday. One of the reason I like Sunday newspaper

:11:28.:11:31.

is that they have done something like what the Observer has done.

:11:32.:11:39.

Three pages on Trump and Clinton. It has great graphics. This is rather

:11:40.:11:43.

good. What they do is they say what would happen if you took out a black

:11:44.:11:48.

voters or female voters or college educated voters or Hispanic voters?

:11:49.:11:54.

How would it change the result? It shows, America is not unique in

:11:55.:11:58.

this, how divided America is between these various groups. It also draws

:11:59.:12:06.

a parallel with the UK with the Brexit foot. It looks at different

:12:07.:12:11.

states, different areas. It looks at how white menfolk, generally Trump.

:12:12.:12:15.

Of the black and Hispanic population thought, were women. It basically

:12:16.:12:21.

says that Clinton is ahead by 48-2, the margin of error is still pretty

:12:22.:12:25.

good, she is less unpopular than Trump, which seems to be key to this

:12:26.:12:33.

election. It is 48-42, but a margin of error of 4%. The other big

:12:34.:12:40.

question which is raised here is you don't count people who don't

:12:41.:12:46.

normally vote. If they come out in big numbers it will change

:12:47.:12:52.

everything. Trump only came top in the graphic that showed no black

:12:53.:12:58.

voters. In every other combination, Clinton is ahead. That is quite

:12:59.:13:07.

interesting. Our final story of the day is Ed balls. Out on a limb. This

:13:08.:13:14.

is from the mail on Sunday. Why you should never ask Ed for a lift. What

:13:15.:13:20.

is this about? He looks like a butcher. The EP member when a

:13:21.:13:25.

butcher would wear a waistcoat and a hat? They were dancing. The looked

:13:26.:13:36.

like Mr Morris, the old butcher in Morris when I was growing up,

:13:37.:13:40.

sweeping some of the street and throwing around. He did really well

:13:41.:13:48.

until that particular left and he just didn't pull off that list and

:13:49.:13:54.

that is what cost. He is very stiff. He looked like a hammer, not like a

:13:55.:14:01.

woman. He is the first to admit he is the worst dancer on the show but

:14:02.:14:05.

everyone loves a try. Some of these people have been in West End

:14:06.:14:09.

musicals. They are pretty good at it. It would be interesting to see

:14:10.:14:13.

if he survives because he comes bottom of the leaderboard but does

:14:14.:14:18.

better on the public vote. You can't help but admire him. He is like John

:14:19.:14:27.

Sergeant but not so charming. There is a rigidity in him which is

:14:28.:14:33.

difficult. You didn't notice it, I always thought he would be the sort

:14:34.:14:37.

of man who would be good in a fight. When you see him it is like he is

:14:38.:14:45.

frozen. I admire anyone who goes on it. In terms of his progress, he is

:14:46.:14:51.

a pretty good. A lot of were pretty good at the start. Those of us who

:14:52.:14:55.

are challenged by two left feet just admire the guts of taking part,

:14:56.:15:00.

never mind how he did. That is it for The Papers. A reminder, we look

:15:01.:15:07.

at the front pages every evening at a quarter to 11 on BBC News.

:15:08.:15:22.

A cold start to the day, feeling like an autumnal morning out there.

:15:23.:15:27.

Some mist and
