popular BBC sitcoms including Dad's Army,

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

With me are Tom Bergin, who's a business correspondent

for Reuters, and the writer and journalist, Lucy Cavendish.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with

of the Airports Commission that the only viable option

to the migrant story, but focuses on the closure

of what it calls the Calais migrant shanty town.

It says fires blazed as migrants and police clashed.

The Guardian also reports on the demolition

of the Calais camp, and fears about the safety

The paper also splashes on calls from Labour MPs to act over a legal

precedent set in Ched Evans' rape retrial.

Violence amid the closure of the Calais camp

also dominates the Times' front page.

It claims anarchists are stirring up trouble.

The paper also has a report from northern Iraq on the fight

against the Islamic State around Mosul.

So, we'll begin with what's about to happen in Calais in the next few

hours with the closure of this camp of several thousand migrants that's

grown up over the last few years. Known as the Jungle. Here it is on

the Telegraph with the main picture story showing police and migrants

fighting running battles on the Yvonne of the enforcement of

eviction orders. Some migrants saying, Tom, that this is the place

they will insist upon staying if they want to come to Britain -- on

the eve of. Yes, this is a launching point for a lot of migrants to come

into the UK via trucks and things over the years. They're here because

they have ties in the UK, some have family and they believe they have a

better future here. There are aims to ship them to 300 centres around

France that could be hundreds of miles away. They could move up the

coast or other areas, potentially areas where they might be able to

get in. Clearly they want to be there. And there's also talk of

anarchists and others coming so there may be violence tomorrow or

more violence in clearing the camp, it's unlikely to go without

incident. Lucy, the other part of the story is that 70 migrants in

their teens have found themselves in Devon? They are now in great

Torrington. There seems to be a jewellery action to get. Some people

are saying that's fine, others are saying they haven't been consulted

in Torrington and they are a small place and 70 youths is a lot of

people to come here. All in one go. All in one go. They have set up Bay

Centre and some people have said it will be fine, but it will be

interesting to see what the teenagers said -- Bay Centre. They

always imagine it will be in the middle of London -- a centre. There

are stories of people going to the middle of Scotland and they all want

to leave because they can't bear it. I'm sure Great Torrington is a

lovely place. As is Scotland. Yes, the middle of Scotland. Obviously

this camp is being cleared, people will have to go somewhere. There's a

lot of fears about what will happen. There's no register, what will

happen to the people who fall through the net? The Times has the

story about anarchists putting up a last stand against mass eviction and

the concern about what happens to those lone children if they're not

on a register and nobody can keep track of them. It's been a concern

for the newspapers and it's been a story for decades, the Jungle has

been this iconic thing and it's amazing how it has dominated the UK

perception of migration to the country despite being so small,

official numbers are around 7000 people. That's quite a lot to have

in Calais. That is why it is such a story, surely? About 1 million

people in Germany last year! So it's an enormous problem, the way in

which it covers our perception of the issue of migration into the UK

is strange giving the sheer size compared to others. And when we

think about legal migration is a fraction. Let's stay with the Times,

pointless treatments cost NHS ?2 billion a year. Where do these

figures come from? About these have come from the Academy Medical Royal

Colleges. They have told us something we know a bit, we have

seen other studies where people go to the doctor and they end up

getting treatments they don't need, maybe they get tablets because it

makes them feel comfortable but they aren't made better by those tablets.

It is new information that confirms that. It's interesting. I do a lot

of data reporting and I'm always very interested in these things,

these are conversations I have had with the NHS to get data that is

available in other countries that could help identify the areas where

there are inefficiencies. May be over diagnosing certain drugs here

compare to other countries, the NHS doesn't want to release that

information and it could help. You don't need a placebo, do you? I

don't have a doctor, I never go! What is interesting is the concept

that patients think what might happen if nothing was done. The idea

of going to the doctor and saying I feel ill and the doctor potentially

could say there's nothing I can do for you. There's the idea that

something needs to happen and something needs to be done when

actually it doesn't necessarily. Too many blood tests. You can use tap

water to wash cuts rather than saline solution. It's interesting

how that would work if people went and they said there's nothing we can

do for you. The risk of mistreatment isn't played up by doctors, maybe

they should play that up more. Inside the Times, we are doing well

out of this tonight, P2. -- page two. Offering Nicola Sturgeon direct

access to Number 10. If I was Nicola Sturgeon I would keep on going down

that line and saying I want nothing to do with you. I hang my head!

That's what I would do. It is all sorts of fiddle Naga link, a bit of

access to this, a bit of that, single market maybe. Is that a word,

naggling? Yes, it is when you do a bit of Wheeler dealing in the equine

market. A bit of this, a bit of that, they will work it out, but it

doesn't really mean anything. Naggling, I will write that down. I

would say to her, I've had enough of all of this. She's not going to turn

down the chance to talk to her and put the case for Scotland. The case

she has is an interesting one, the idea would be that Scotland has a

flexible Brexit. A Flexit? Very good. Another made up word. That

would be very unusual and it is without precedent and it would be

hard to see how that would work exactly. But what's interesting, if

she does get into the room and she hears these plans or negotiating,

the government says they aren't saying what the strategy is -- for

negotiating. They aren't going to reveal the recipe for the secret

sauce. She might get inside and say this source doesn't taste very good

but she might leave the room and tell people. She might say that the

source doesn't exist. Indeed. It's part of increasing scrutiny over the

government the Cotia can position because she could walk out and say

there's no strategy -- negotiation. The future of the union could rest

upon it? Absolutely, what are we going to do? It is worrying. It is

scarifying. You do that to your lawn. Not my lawn, never mind. Mine

never gets scarifyied, it never gets any attention. To the Mirror, this

reporting from Chris Hughes from the frontline in Mosul. It's been on the

front page and many pages inside have given over to it. Hit the Mad

Max car now, a suicide bomber heading for them, giving you an idea

what it is taking to out these IS militants from the city. Chris

Hughes has had some hairy moments and we see other reporting from

Anthony Loyd and others today in the Times. Some real underground

reporting. Clearly journalists have been invited to ride along with some

of the Peshmerga forces and the central government forces. It's a

very big operation. As I said, some near misses from some of the

correspondence here. The fighting seems to be going in favour of the

Western backed government forces. -- correspondents. They have approached

the outlying towns of Mosul but not Mosul itself. Looks like there is

stern operation waiting for them in the city. The argument was in the

beginning when ISS got such a foothold in parts of Iraq that there

was a vacuum because the political situation was such a mess that they

could make those inroads -- ISIS. This has to be a permanent solution,

hasn't it? You wonder if the situation in Iraq is good enough to

keep them at bay. It's very difficult to know where this is

going to end up. Obviously you've got the Peshmerga there and there

must be something given as it were to the Kurds. Yes. That's

potentially a very difficult situation. This is amazing what

Chris Hughes has been doing. That -year-old war reporting is something

we don't see very much now. These reports and photographs are amazing.

It really brings to light how difficult and horrible and how nasty

what's going on there is, when you are so far removed it is difficult

to get a feeling for it but that's what he does, he absolutely brings

to you what is going on there. It is deeply horrible. >>

I hope the Iraqi forces are equally as open, in Falluja afterwards we

saw horrible tragedies and it was difficult to report on the ground

and the outcome was a high degree of risk for the journalists involved

for doing that. Hopefully their willingness to show the battlefield

to the reporters continues. Back to the Times, almost a full house, page

28, page 29, Baghdad bans alcohol sales to appease extremists. Why are

you looking at me? You spotted it! It did catch my eye and not just

because of my nationality. No Guinness? Yes! I was able to get a

drink when I was in Iraq some years ago. Looks like it won't happen

again. There is a serious side to this. Yes, it is a minority and this

is why it caught my eye. Part of the problems, as you alluded to earlier,

has been blamed on Nouri al-Maliki, the previously the ship was

divisive, is this new government more inclusive? It was certainly

dominated by Shias -- previously the ship. So the question is this

another sign the government won't be as inclusive as it needs to be to

bring the country together -- previous leadership. That said, we

have run out of time. Look how disappointed they are! Naggling, we

will look it up to make sure it is in the thesaurus and dictionary. Tom

and Lucy, thanks for coming and spending your Sunday evening with

us. Next, The Film Review.
