:00:00. > :00:00.pressure Josey Mourinho's Chelsea side were playing coming off the

:00:00. > :00:22.back of a fifth defeat of the season. That is all coming up in

:00:23. > :00:24.Sportsday after The Papers. A Warm Welcome To Our Look Ahead To The

:00:25. > :00:28.Papers Tomorrow Morning. Our guests joining me tonight are

:00:29. > :00:31.France 24 journalist Benedicte Paviot and the author and sports

:00:32. > :00:34.writer for the Times, Matthew Syed. Many

:00:35. > :00:55.of the front pages are already in. The natural leads with that story of

:00:56. > :00:58.the mother and her son who are recovering after the boat accident

:00:59. > :01:03.in Canada. The Daily Telegraph here. The Financial Times says the

:01:04. > :01:08.personal details of more than 600,000 customers were stolen from

:01:09. > :01:13.British companies last year. I am highlighting the weaknesses -- the

:01:14. > :01:19.highlighting the weaknesses in the wake of the TalkTalk incident. The

:01:20. > :01:23.cap at times, access the paper has been given to the GCHQ headquarters

:01:24. > :01:27.in Cheltenham. The express leads with new research

:01:28. > :01:34.that suggests cutting out sugar can boost your health in only ten days.

:01:35. > :01:42.And the Independent features a picture from this year 's Army

:01:43. > :01:45.photographic competition. Let's kick off, then. The big story, as

:01:46. > :01:49.opposed, Benedicte, has been this defeat for the Government in the

:01:50. > :01:53.House of Lords and all sorts of constitutional questions that that

:01:54. > :01:57.raises, really, about whether the Lords should be able to overturn

:01:58. > :02:02.something the Commons, the elected chamber, agreed on. The Telegraph is

:02:03. > :02:06.talking about William fix coming up -- William Hague coming up with a

:02:07. > :02:10.quick fix to stop that happening again. The war, really, between the

:02:11. > :02:18.Government and the House of Lords. As you say, one is elected and we

:02:19. > :02:22.had an election and know there is a majority Conservative Government,

:02:23. > :02:25.and we have had certainly a war of declarations and counter

:02:26. > :02:28.declarations today. Almost another defeat this evening for the

:02:29. > :02:33.Government, narrowly avoided. Really, it comes down to the fact

:02:34. > :02:37.that there has been a convention, a parliamentary act, 104 years ago,

:02:38. > :02:41.and that this is not being respected. The House of Lords is a

:02:42. > :02:46.reviewing chamber. It is not supposed to be a blocking chamber,

:02:47. > :02:50.and what the Conservatives are clearly accusing the House of Lords

:02:51. > :02:54.of doing is that they are acting as a blocking chamber and this needs to

:02:55. > :02:58.be really changed as quickly as possible. It is interesting William

:02:59. > :03:06.Hague did not vote last night because there are so many lords who

:03:07. > :03:09.need to take their seats that he is scheduled for the end of November so

:03:10. > :03:13.that is one he did not take part in. That would have been an extra vote

:03:14. > :03:18.as we know what way that would have gone. Matthew, the problem for the

:03:19. > :03:22.Government is that they are arguably using the wrong tactics to get this

:03:23. > :03:26.through the Lords. Because it was not a financial measure, the Lords

:03:27. > :03:30.were able to block it. If it had been a financial one they would not

:03:31. > :03:34.have been able to. This is about the constitution and even if you are

:03:35. > :03:38.against these savage cuts to working tax credits which I have to say I am

:03:39. > :03:43.it is ludicrous for unelected peers and bishops to be rejecting a

:03:44. > :03:47.central plate of the Government. Why have the second chamber at all in

:03:48. > :03:51.that case? It should be a revising chamber. It should not be seeing no

:03:52. > :03:57.altogether. There is something central to the Tory picture. They

:03:58. > :04:00.would argue they are a revising it but are just taking it back to the

:04:01. > :04:06.Commons for George Osborne to have another say. -- another thing. The

:04:07. > :04:13.knot. They are trying to rejected. The deep irony, -- the Ahronot. The

:04:14. > :04:18.deep irony is this could benefit the Conservatives. They said they are in

:04:19. > :04:22.support of hard-working families, that catchphrase. I think this is

:04:23. > :04:25.shaping up into another poll tax and this, the fact the Lords have

:04:26. > :04:29.rejected it, it gives George Osborne another chance to soften the blow,

:04:30. > :04:34.change the bill, but say this is not a U-turn, the Lords have forced me

:04:35. > :04:39.to do it. Let's look at the Guardian. George Osborne ready to

:04:40. > :04:48.change pact on tax credits. He said he was in listening mode, I think it

:04:49. > :04:50.was, so it seems he was kind of bracing himself for a bit of a

:04:51. > :04:56.softening anyway. Know his hand has been forced. There is even some talk

:04:57. > :05:00.about some pressure on Mr Cameron to sack the Conservative Leader of the

:05:01. > :05:04.House of Lords. I do not know if that will happen. Here,

:05:05. > :05:07.interestingly, in the Guardian, they are saying George Osborne wants to

:05:08. > :05:14.lessen the impact of these tax credit cuts possibly by lowering the

:05:15. > :05:20.target of delivering ?10 billion surplus by 2019, 2020. I would think

:05:21. > :05:23.there are some lights burning this evening in the Treasury because

:05:24. > :05:28.apart from the political showdown and the embarrassment of this

:05:29. > :05:33.defeat, whether a constitutional crisis, the implications etc, there

:05:34. > :05:36.is a lot of bad blood and as Matthew was saying this is an elected

:05:37. > :05:41.Government being stopped from... Although, Matthew, this was not

:05:42. > :05:44.something explicitly in the Conservative Party manifesto. That

:05:45. > :05:49.is the argument. If you are speaking about democratic procedure, if you

:05:50. > :05:57.like. It was not just not in the manifesto, but the Prime Minister

:05:58. > :05:59.said, I think on the BBC, we have no plans whatever to register working

:06:00. > :06:04.familiess' tax credit. But George Osborne today. And the timing was

:06:05. > :06:07.interesting that he was in answering questions the morning after the

:06:08. > :06:13.night before, but the fact of the matter is he said the definition was

:06:14. > :06:18.known. They knew what direction the Government was travelling in, the

:06:19. > :06:22.Conservative Government. It was a change after the election. There is

:06:23. > :06:26.no doubt they want to get into surplus so I think there are some

:06:27. > :06:32.argument in favour of that. It was a very large surplus. I think that is

:06:33. > :06:37.a smart move. Saying we will reverse our decisions on inheritance tax,

:06:38. > :06:43.they are... They have not been paying people enough. We will move

:06:44. > :06:50.on to the FT. We had the whole TalkTalk cyber attack. The FT said

:06:51. > :06:55.600,000 UK customers' data has been stolen, and put up for sale on the

:06:56. > :07:03.dark web, this underworld Internet, all scary stuff. It sounds terribly

:07:04. > :07:07.sinister, doesn't it? This number of 600,000 identities have not been

:07:08. > :07:12.stolen from companies in the UK alone in 2014. That came from the

:07:13. > :07:16.information security company and at the beginning when I saw that I was

:07:17. > :07:20.slightly suspicious, I have to say, because they are trying to sell

:07:21. > :07:25.products that protect security but this number has actually been backed

:07:26. > :07:29.by Government officials. The overall number of people whose identities

:07:30. > :07:35.were hacked worldwide in 2014, 300 50 million. What worries me is that

:07:36. > :07:39.big companies you trust with your personal details are not

:07:40. > :07:45.sufficiently savvy to protect that from often youthful people -- 350

:07:46. > :07:48.million. Youthful people who seem to understand this particular area of

:07:49. > :07:53.the dark web better than security experts, but what about others?

:07:54. > :07:56.Firewalls, downloading all of this. I think it is difficult for people

:07:57. > :08:01.to keep up and even if you do the new product will be circumvented by

:08:02. > :08:10.sophisticated hackers, this is an arms race. Let's move on to the

:08:11. > :08:15.Times. Reviewing what David Cameron will be saying. I think he is going

:08:16. > :08:20.to Iceland, is it? He is speaking about the European union and is

:08:21. > :08:24.explicitly, you know, talking about the cost to Britain if we were to

:08:25. > :08:29.leave the EU. It will cost money and influence. It will. What is

:08:30. > :08:34.interesting is that although David Cameron has said he would not give

:08:35. > :08:38.anyone a running commentary and we know, we expect more detail in

:08:39. > :08:41.November, and that has been requested by other EU countries, to

:08:42. > :08:48.really see which particular areas, what are the specific demands of the

:08:49. > :08:51.Conservative Government, this Norway and Switzerland example has always

:08:52. > :08:54.been given but the fact of the matter is they are not at the table

:08:55. > :08:59.making decisions. They have to abide by that and they actually have to

:09:00. > :09:02.take on, for example, more migrants. So the people who think, Ukip, who

:09:03. > :09:09.think this will be the answer to all kinds of problems, it is

:09:10. > :09:12.interesting, I think, to see the Prime Minister who will be

:09:13. > :09:19.positioning himself coming out now, starting to see... He is starting

:09:20. > :09:26.his campaign to stay in. Yes, but Downing Street are also saying, just

:09:27. > :09:30.a moment, a spokesperson, saying that if what is obtained in this

:09:31. > :09:34.renegotiation is not enough he still reserves the right to recommend for

:09:35. > :09:38.Britain to leave the EU. I do not know how the Prime Minister's blood

:09:39. > :09:42.pressure is but if he reads the Daily Express cutting out sugar is

:09:43. > :09:48.the quickest way to lower it. Matthew, are you a sugar consumer? I

:09:49. > :09:54.have some sugar... You have to cut it out. But it is then processed

:09:55. > :09:58.foods, coffee, or most everywhere -- not just in copy but although the

:09:59. > :10:04.place. This is part of a wider issue, I think. Every day, reading,

:10:05. > :10:09.particularly in the Express, it has to be said, health stories, and they

:10:10. > :10:16.change every so often -- change so often. It is so difficult to assess

:10:17. > :10:24.because it goes from 0.01520.018 if you have a bacon sandwich each week.

:10:25. > :10:32.-- zero .015 20.018. We are all going to die. Are you sure? I think

:10:33. > :10:39.we often become too scared about sugar. These are scary stories. The

:10:40. > :10:47.solution is don't eat and that is a no no. I am glad you have sugar in

:10:48. > :10:55.your latte because that is what I have. Just the one? Yes. The Daily

:10:56. > :10:59.Telegraph speaking about rows, and saying men should get angry to win a

:11:00. > :11:04.robot women should keep their cool. That sounds rather sexist, isn't

:11:05. > :11:08.it? That is one conclusion. I think that is just plain wrong. Don't

:11:09. > :11:13.think anybody wins an argument by either raising their voice or by

:11:14. > :11:18.shouting. Persuasion is by far the better way to go. Let's put this to

:11:19. > :11:40.the test. I think you're absolutely wrong.

:11:41. > :11:45.That wasn't shouting. You report on conflicts but you don't like

:11:46. > :11:48.confrontation? Yes, that's the best way. Thank you very much indeed

:11:49. > :11:52.Benedicte and Matthew. We will see you again at half past 11. Thank you

:11:53. > :11:57.for the time being. We will be back at 11pm for all the top stories

:11:58. > :12:01.making the news tomorrow. Stay with us on BBC News tonight. At 11 we

:12:02. > :12:05.will look at the Government review into those powers of the House of

:12:06. > :12:08.Lords we were speaking about, and it accusations from Downing Street that

:12:09. > :12:12.the peers overreached themselves last night when they defeated those

:12:13. > :12:19.proposals on tax credits. Coming up next on BBC News, it is time for

:12:20. > :12:33.Hello there. Welcome to Sportsday. The headlines this evening...
