But hello and a warm welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
be bringing us tomorrow morning. With me a ballast and broadcaster | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Sophie, and Robert Fox, the defence editor of the London Evening | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Standard. Good to have U2. We are going to talk to you and hear your | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
views in just a moment, we are going to look at the front pages so you | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
know what we're talking about as well. The Financial Times leads with | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
the news of a fresh investigation of Hillary Clinton's news of a private | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
e-mail server. The Times says the news has stunned America. The eyes | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
says that Donald Trump has begun to reduce the lead in the polls of | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Hillary Clinton. The Daily Mail produces criticism of the poor | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
quality for mobile phone users and express carries reaction to the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
former Prime Minister's Tony Blair called, to remain supporters to try | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
to block Brexit. And the Guardian has talk about you but drivers. | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
Roberts, let us begin with Hillary Clinton, and these e-mails, which it | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
has emerged, actually come from electronic devices belonging either | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
to Clinton aide Huma Abedin for her husband Anthony Wiener. To do with a | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
sexting investigation being carried out entirely separately, but she has | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
been dragged into it. Apparently they found, private e-mails on those | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
particular servers, they came from the private Clinton server which is | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
held in upstate New York and it is Notting Hill it Clinton's name, it | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
is in Bill Clinton's name. Let us go further. I think as a British | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
journalist I can say something that hasn't been said clearly enough, the | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
timing of this is very odd indeed. We have been combing the New York | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Times that has been very heavy on this kind of thing. We have had | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
people on, I mean get on, say it. I have been a journalist nearly 50 | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
years, to come out with this now, on the weekend before polling, you have | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
to do it now because you will get wall-to-wall coverage. Meet the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Press, the Twitter sphere has been going bonkers wholly to the benefit | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
of Trump. I'm not saying this is a conspiracy but I think that the | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
director of the FBI must explain itself. He has made this very | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
cryptic Harry Potter remarked saying we have found these things but we | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
cannot go into it. Then, John Podesta, the chairman of the | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
campaign has said that there may be something in it or maybe not. I | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
noticed in your headlines, you assumed they would be huge matters | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
of national security and fold like the whole previous one like | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
Benghazi. What is so surprising, for Komi and I wouldn't give him a | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
further chance of employment, is that, I don't want to... Comey. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
There is a lot in what he has said which is pure in new window, anybody | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
advising him, he must have political advisers. So you are tipping the | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
hand to Trump, has the Trump camp has picked up? What do you make of | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
it? Everybody is subject to the rule of law in America, the problem is | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
not just the timing but the way it looks and smells. We can all smell, | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
that Donald Trump should not be, would not be, elected, but if there | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
is no one standing against him, my goodness me. This could be safe and | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
nominal. We will never come across this in 200 years. What is proper | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
and right and correct is that the organs of the state should be | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
applicable to whoever, wherever, whatever, even the President-elect, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
but what could happen, and I mean what could happen if we have Hillary | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
winning, we could have a president being investigated, impeached by her | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
own Congress, and let us not forget, this has happened once to a Clinton, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
for issues of libido. It appears it may happen to another Clinton. I am | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
so concerned about the way this looks, for other people. Looking to | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
America to see how election should be run. And how democracy should be | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
exercised. It doesn't look right, it doesn't smell right and it jars and | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
feel right. Robert, do you say, I see that John Podesta has | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
effectively said, put it all out and let the American people know. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Because it is too critical. Is it possible that she will be able to | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
close this down critically? No, no, probably not. What is coming | :05:17. | :05:45. | |
across, I take your point. This is the executive branch and there is a | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
bit of a smell of things, that the executive branch is acting | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
partially. They have got to be very clear and he should have come out, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
this is what we have found and these are grounds for investigation. He | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
has hinted that it is very serious but he has breached Podesta that it | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
may not be so serious. But there is a serious point against Terry | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Clinton and that is that she is secretive and she is inept. For | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
goodness say, they went through this and they have the same problem when | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
coding Powell was Secretary of State. As one of her close staff | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
said, she's not bury good and she doesn't even run her own desktop PC. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
That really is not even good enough today, and it is very, very worrying | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
indeed. You have got somebody who may be in charge of the nuclear | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
codes, nuclear arsenal, in charge of Armageddon waiting to happen and it | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
may be on somebody else's blackberry. That is what the issue | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
is. To take your point, in all my life time of the American elections | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
that I can remember, there is only one word that comes to mind, this is | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
by far and away the weirdest, that I have come across. And now active has | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
been running, we have to get used to that -- the narrative has been | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
running. Two such inept and inappropriate candidates would be | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
hard to imagine. Maybe you get the politicians that you deserve, I | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
don't know. We will find out in ten days or so. Let us move along to | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
look at a couple of stories in the Guardian. The first one has big | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
implications in the UK, you are a barrister by training, what do you | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
make of this ruling by the employment tribunal, that it doesn't | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
by, Uber's defence, that the drivers are agents, and it just is like a | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
meeting point for them. You think the tribunal was right, and whether | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
you think it is right or not, what are the invitations? I think the | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
employment tribunal is right but I also don't think that the decision | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
will stand, it will not stand for two regions. It is because it will | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
affect the economy not just for today and not just for the next | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
quarter but for the next five years. Notwithstanding the fact that now we | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
are in a digital economy, the economy is not moving forward and | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
moving in a traditional manner. Soak each digital year is actually a | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
quarter. The invitations for this is that when the stock market opens | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
tomorrow, you can just wait to see what will happen to these new | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
unicorn type companies many of which have not been floated yet. It will | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
undermine the very basis of our economy. Let us not just look at the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
other side of this, this new type of work has brought choice, dignity, it | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
has brought hope for many people who want to work, who want this | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
flexibility. You need this flexibility, due to the pressures of | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
the economy and how we are all living. The number of times I have | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
got into Uber cars and found retired people. But it is not just that, it | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
is the whole idea that this small-scale entrepreneurship, we | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
haven't seen this type of thing. Is Uber really this small-scale | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
business? That is the whole idea. I think you are right, I think | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
technically, and you are the lawyer, but probably the tribunal is right, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
like you I don't think it will lie there. Because it is so, there does | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
seem to be something like King Canute here. We are talking about | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
the economy, you pick up an app, you do something and then you put it | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
down. That is the way it goes. But I do understand the government trying | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
to enforce things like the minimum wage rights, welfare and so one. But | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
coming out of the end of the employment machine, I realise I have | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
been living a version of the economy for the last 1718 years. Why should | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
it be any different, your employment status, just because somebody books | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
you through an app, otherwise I'll be back in the days of the old | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Labour scheme, the stand-up at the gates and if they don't want to this | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
and you. That is the whole idea, Britain has been at the forefront of | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
legislation that sets the rights and responsibilities between employers | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
and employees. For the matter is not just of health and safety but once | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
you improve the conditions of the people, where and how they work, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
society has taken huge leaps forward. This judgment has put this | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
whole idea, are we moving forward. Notwithstanding the whole issue, I | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
pointed this out to a man, to my taxi driver, that once you are | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
employed by Uber, you are going to have a lot more women thinking I'm | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
going to get into my cab, try the round, the school run because I will | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
get maternity leave for the first time. Should we have an economy that | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
is based on employees rights, or employers responsibilities. And of | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
course the big elephant in the room, is the tax word. Who is paying for | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
our roads, who is paying for our schools and hospitals, should it be | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
big, mammoth, lumbering corporations which is found now on every phone, | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
you and I, her and him, do not have the rights, can't take a holiday. | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
The Guardian, has a thing, saying Uber drivers triumph. Do you think | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
they have triumphed? In 20 years' time, the question on every A-level | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
will be, did the decision in 2016, fundamentally changes economy and I | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
think it will because it will finally have that debate that we had | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
in Parliament and on the street and now it is going to go down to the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
law. Is this going to be the new factory act, where we think we have | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
got to deliver yet what people deserve from their employers and | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
what they should give back. But nothing stays and this is a question | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
of manoeuvre. You can bet that Amazon, Google, Uber will be | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
manoeuvring around this. You are absolutely right, this is the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
beginning of another phase. Very interesting, let us move on to the | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
other stories, there is a picture of Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
turning into some of the not so secret weapons of Hillary Clinton. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
But there is this story about Isis potentially using civilians as human | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
shields as it tries to retain control of Mosul? I find this story | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
but will drink, I am not there, I have been in Mosul, two or three | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
years ago, and more than that, but I know, that area a bit. I find Isis, | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
has been seriously underestimated. Because it operates a similar | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
different levels. Technically, as a gorilla -based military, it is | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
terribly good, at this kind of thing. Yes it can sacrifice human | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
life but they have built tunnels, they are using, we call them IED 's, | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
booby traps, they say on industrial scale. They picked up all of the | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
knowledge from Iran, there have been real advances and why we were | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
kidding that within 40 days we could be in Mosul, that is the Alliance | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
and its friends, it would all be over. Unfortunately it is so | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
complicated, Isis can fight a sort of Alamo fight in Mosul if it wants | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
to but it is already prepared to go out in the desert, it has done it | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
before. The real worry about this is who occupies in the end. Either way, | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
a different way but it is the same question over a lap over. Suppose | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
you occupied eastern Aleppo, who is going to occupy it, and the Russians | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
know, that is why they are having a pause at the moment that they will | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
have two back the troops there. The argument is made by some people are | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
frankly anything is better than Isis. Get Isis Haupt, that is the | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
priority? That is far too simplistic, a linear argument | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
because what seems to be going on in northern Iraq is fragmentation, | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
atomisation and what we are witnessing is the atomisation of | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
Sunni communities, even the tribal system seems to be breaking down and | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
subdividing, which means you won't get a unified aura unitary Iraq. | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
That will have a colossal impact throughout the Arab world. That is | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
why, we see tough military regimes like Egypt, it will shake them as | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
well, this is deep rock mating but -- Epoque making. The forces that | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
are going in are trying to manage the narrative and they are not | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
succeeding. But they are not succeeding and we know how cunning | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
Isis and Isil and Daesh or whatever you call them harder at managing | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
their own narrative. It ain't over and the idea that by plonking | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
yourself in Mosul and in Raqqa it is all over, please forget it. It is | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
very dangerous and very delicate and it will have ramifications. Do you | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
want to say a word briefly on this? Two years ago I sat here and I said | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
is that the worst thing about Isis is it will not be door-to-door | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
fighting, it would be the Digital fight, they are in every home, their | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
videos, are impregnating every boy 's bedroom. We see this, we know | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
what is happening, the push and full of this community and | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
notwithstanding that this issue, I'm aware that the European Parliament | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
awarded some of the women that escaped this area, they awarded them | :15:55. | :16:04. | |
a prize, to standing firm in their communities. What worries me about | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
this is that this war will not just be for this generation, my children | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
will be sucked into this because, we won't even talk about Yemen. The | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
whole of the Middle East. 100 years after the settlement in 1916, has | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
been ripped apart. Time for two more stories. Front of the FT, Nissan | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
warned ministers that it would leave the EU without Brexit guarantees. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
Everybody has been desperate to find out exactly what was said but what | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
is interesting is that, pretty much, Nissan said if we don't get | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
guarantees, then we are moving our work to Spain and France. Their | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
existing plants. It sounds like it was a pretty straightforward threat. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Li when this news first came out, we had spokesmen speaking and | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
reasoning, it was clear, there is a deal. If Mrs made us think a deal, | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
certainly Nissan thinks there is a deal. Then be get me to, Talia at | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
hand Honda and Ford and everybody else. And at the bottom of this, | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Nissan have spotted this, they want a tariff deal and access to the free | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
market, and the European single market. And, the four freedoms and | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
they will not get around it. One thing that is clear, it is like a | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
very badly Bilyk -- badly built Lego. I think this | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
will go on and on, it is going to be such fun for the mischievous, Tony | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
Blair is right about this, there will be a general election probably | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
earlier than we think. On the terms. For me, this reads as if this is a | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
diktats by oligarchs and corporations and interests, it is | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
the sort of thing that we were accusing Europe of Comet is now | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
happening in our own back door. As a lawyer you would love to see small | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
print? Let me finally move on to the Times, a lovely photograph on the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
front, Ed Balls and his dancing partner. Ed Balls in a vivid blue | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
suit, there he is. Not his yellow suit, and on the inside, says the | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
country has huge issues. He should be doing it with you. But, are you | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
missing him as a politician, or is he a better media personality? Well | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
he is speaking chapter and verse again about why Labour failed in its | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
ambitions to win the last general election. He appeals back as it | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
were. The whole infighting between the last Shadow Cabinet and the last | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
administration, and what you can see, is, hey man reborn. If Ed Balls | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
had shown this much personality and panache and wonderful pussyfooting | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
manoeuvring at the time, he could have been Chancellor. But he is | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
actually showing, the importance of two things, personality built | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
politics can actually change how people see you. It is a good full to | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
end on, thank you so much. We will have two move off, that is it for | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
the papers, before you go, the front pages. The Mirror reports that ten | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
terror plots by Stanek State have been foiled in the last see and the | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
sun has a same story with the big photograph Cheryl Cole. | :19:44. | :20:00. | |
Thanks for your company, high will be back with the news at the top of | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
the hour. | :20:05. | :20:08. |
