back of a fifth defeat of the season. That is all coming up in

Sportsday after The Papers. A Warm Welcome To Our Look Ahead To The

:00:23.:00:24.

Papers Tomorrow Morning. Our guests joining me tonight are

:00:25.:00:28.

France 24 journalist Benedicte Paviot and the author and sports

:00:29.:00:31.

writer for the Times, Matthew Syed. Many

:00:32.:00:34.

of the front pages are already in. The natural leads with that story of

:00:35.:00:55.

the mother and her son who are recovering after the boat accident

:00:56.:00:58.

in Canada. The Daily Telegraph here. The Financial Times says the

:00:59.:01:03.

personal details of more than 600,000 customers were stolen from

:01:04.:01:08.

British companies last year. I am highlighting the weaknesses -- the

:01:09.:01:13.

highlighting the weaknesses in the wake of the TalkTalk incident. The

:01:14.:01:19.

cap at times, access the paper has been given to the GCHQ headquarters

:01:20.:01:23.

in Cheltenham. The express leads with new research

:01:24.:01:27.

that suggests cutting out sugar can boost your health in only ten days.

:01:28.:01:34.

And the Independent features a picture from this year 's Army

:01:35.:01:42.

photographic competition. Let's kick off, then. The big story, as

:01:43.:01:45.

opposed, Benedicte, has been this defeat for the Government in the

:01:46.:01:49.

House of Lords and all sorts of constitutional questions that that

:01:50.:01:53.

raises, really, about whether the Lords should be able to overturn

:01:54.:01:57.

something the Commons, the elected chamber, agreed on. The Telegraph is

:01:58.:02:02.

talking about William fix coming up -- William Hague coming up with a

:02:03.:02:06.

quick fix to stop that happening again. The war, really, between the

:02:07.:02:10.

Government and the House of Lords. As you say, one is elected and we

:02:11.:02:18.

had an election and know there is a majority Conservative Government,

:02:19.:02:22.

and we have had certainly a war of declarations and counter

:02:23.:02:25.

declarations today. Almost another defeat this evening for the

:02:26.:02:28.

Government, narrowly avoided. Really, it comes down to the fact

:02:29.:02:33.

that there has been a convention, a parliamentary act, 104 years ago,

:02:34.:02:37.

and that this is not being respected. The House of Lords is a

:02:38.:02:41.

reviewing chamber. It is not supposed to be a blocking chamber,

:02:42.:02:46.

and what the Conservatives are clearly accusing the House of Lords

:02:47.:02:50.

of doing is that they are acting as a blocking chamber and this needs to

:02:51.:02:54.

be really changed as quickly as possible. It is interesting William

:02:55.:02:58.

Hague did not vote last night because there are so many lords who

:02:59.:03:06.

need to take their seats that he is scheduled for the end of November so

:03:07.:03:09.

that is one he did not take part in. That would have been an extra vote

:03:10.:03:13.

as we know what way that would have gone. Matthew, the problem for the

:03:14.:03:18.

Government is that they are arguably using the wrong tactics to get this

:03:19.:03:22.

through the Lords. Because it was not a financial measure, the Lords

:03:23.:03:26.

were able to block it. If it had been a financial one they would not

:03:27.:03:30.

have been able to. This is about the constitution and even if you are

:03:31.:03:34.

against these savage cuts to working tax credits which I have to say I am

:03:35.:03:38.

it is ludicrous for unelected peers and bishops to be rejecting a

:03:39.:03:43.

central plate of the Government. Why have the second chamber at all in

:03:44.:03:47.

that case? It should be a revising chamber. It should not be seeing no

:03:48.:03:51.

altogether. There is something central to the Tory picture. They

:03:52.:03:57.

would argue they are a revising it but are just taking it back to the

:03:58.:04:00.

Commons for George Osborne to have another say. -- another thing. The

:04:01.:04:06.

knot. They are trying to rejected. The deep irony, -- the Ahronot. The

:04:07.:04:13.

deep irony is this could benefit the Conservatives. They said they are in

:04:14.:04:18.

support of hard-working families, that catchphrase. I think this is

:04:19.:04:22.

shaping up into another poll tax and this, the fact the Lords have

:04:23.:04:25.

rejected it, it gives George Osborne another chance to soften the blow,

:04:26.:04:29.

change the bill, but say this is not a U-turn, the Lords have forced me

:04:30.:04:34.

to do it. Let's look at the Guardian. George Osborne ready to

:04:35.:04:39.

change pact on tax credits. He said he was in listening mode, I think it

:04:40.:04:48.

was, so it seems he was kind of bracing himself for a bit of a

:04:49.:04:50.

softening anyway. Know his hand has been forced. There is even some talk

:04:51.:04:56.

about some pressure on Mr Cameron to sack the Conservative Leader of the

:04:57.:05:00.

House of Lords. I do not know if that will happen. Here,

:05:01.:05:04.

interestingly, in the Guardian, they are saying George Osborne wants to

:05:05.:05:07.

lessen the impact of these tax credit cuts possibly by lowering the

:05:08.:05:14.

target of delivering ?10 billion surplus by 2019, 2020. I would think

:05:15.:05:20.

there are some lights burning this evening in the Treasury because

:05:21.:05:23.

apart from the political showdown and the embarrassment of this

:05:24.:05:28.

defeat, whether a constitutional crisis, the implications etc, there

:05:29.:05:33.

is a lot of bad blood and as Matthew was saying this is an elected

:05:34.:05:36.

Government being stopped from... Although, Matthew, this was not

:05:37.:05:41.

something explicitly in the Conservative Party manifesto. That

:05:42.:05:44.

is the argument. If you are speaking about democratic procedure, if you

:05:45.:05:49.

like. It was not just not in the manifesto, but the Prime Minister

:05:50.:05:57.

said, I think on the BBC, we have no plans whatever to register working

:05:58.:05:59.

familiess' tax credit. But George Osborne today. And the timing was

:06:00.:06:04.

interesting that he was in answering questions the morning after the

:06:05.:06:07.

night before, but the fact of the matter is he said the definition was

:06:08.:06:13.

known. They knew what direction the Government was travelling in, the

:06:14.:06:18.

Conservative Government. It was a change after the election. There is

:06:19.:06:22.

no doubt they want to get into surplus so I think there are some

:06:23.:06:26.

argument in favour of that. It was a very large surplus. I think that is

:06:27.:06:32.

a smart move. Saying we will reverse our decisions on inheritance tax,

:06:33.:06:37.

they are... They have not been paying people enough. We will move

:06:38.:06:43.

on to the FT. We had the whole TalkTalk cyber attack. The FT said

:06:44.:06:50.

600,000 UK customers' data has been stolen, and put up for sale on the

:06:51.:06:55.

dark web, this underworld Internet, all scary stuff. It sounds terribly

:06:56.:07:03.

sinister, doesn't it? This number of 600,000 identities have not been

:07:04.:07:07.

stolen from companies in the UK alone in 2014. That came from the

:07:08.:07:12.

information security company and at the beginning when I saw that I was

:07:13.:07:16.

slightly suspicious, I have to say, because they are trying to sell

:07:17.:07:20.

products that protect security but this number has actually been backed

:07:21.:07:25.

by Government officials. The overall number of people whose identities

:07:26.:07:29.

were hacked worldwide in 2014, 300 50 million. What worries me is that

:07:30.:07:35.

big companies you trust with your personal details are not

:07:36.:07:39.

sufficiently savvy to protect that from often youthful people -- 350

:07:40.:07:45.

million. Youthful people who seem to understand this particular area of

:07:46.:07:48.

the dark web better than security experts, but what about others?

:07:49.:07:53.

Firewalls, downloading all of this. I think it is difficult for people

:07:54.:07:56.

to keep up and even if you do the new product will be circumvented by

:07:57.:08:01.

sophisticated hackers, this is an arms race. Let's move on to the

:08:02.:08:10.

Times. Reviewing what David Cameron will be saying. I think he is going

:08:11.:08:15.

to Iceland, is it? He is speaking about the European union and is

:08:16.:08:20.

explicitly, you know, talking about the cost to Britain if we were to

:08:21.:08:24.

leave the EU. It will cost money and influence. It will. What is

:08:25.:08:29.

interesting is that although David Cameron has said he would not give

:08:30.:08:34.

anyone a running commentary and we know, we expect more detail in

:08:35.:08:38.

November, and that has been requested by other EU countries, to

:08:39.:08:41.

really see which particular areas, what are the specific demands of the

:08:42.:08:48.

Conservative Government, this Norway and Switzerland example has always

:08:49.:08:51.

been given but the fact of the matter is they are not at the table

:08:52.:08:54.

making decisions. They have to abide by that and they actually have to

:08:55.:08:59.

take on, for example, more migrants. So the people who think, Ukip, who

:09:00.:09:02.

think this will be the answer to all kinds of problems, it is

:09:03.:09:09.

interesting, I think, to see the Prime Minister who will be

:09:10.:09:12.

positioning himself coming out now, starting to see... He is starting

:09:13.:09:19.

his campaign to stay in. Yes, but Downing Street are also saying, just

:09:20.:09:26.

a moment, a spokesperson, saying that if what is obtained in this

:09:27.:09:30.

renegotiation is not enough he still reserves the right to recommend for

:09:31.:09:34.

Britain to leave the EU. I do not know how the Prime Minister's blood

:09:35.:09:38.

pressure is but if he reads the Daily Express cutting out sugar is

:09:39.:09:42.

the quickest way to lower it. Matthew, are you a sugar consumer? I

:09:43.:09:48.

have some sugar... You have to cut it out. But it is then processed

:09:49.:09:54.

foods, coffee, or most everywhere -- not just in copy but although the

:09:55.:09:58.

place. This is part of a wider issue, I think. Every day, reading,

:09:59.:10:04.

particularly in the Express, it has to be said, health stories, and they

:10:05.:10:09.

change every so often -- change so often. It is so difficult to assess

:10:10.:10:16.

because it goes from 0.01520.018 if you have a bacon sandwich each week.

:10:17.:10:24.

-- zero .015 20.018. We are all going to die. Are you sure? I think

:10:25.:10:32.

we often become too scared about sugar. These are scary stories. The

:10:33.:10:39.

solution is don't eat and that is a no no. I am glad you have sugar in

:10:40.:10:47.

your latte because that is what I have. Just the one? Yes. The Daily

:10:48.:10:55.

Telegraph speaking about rows, and saying men should get angry to win a

:10:56.:10:59.

robot women should keep their cool. That sounds rather sexist, isn't

:11:00.:11:04.

it? That is one conclusion. I think that is just plain wrong. Don't

:11:05.:11:08.

think anybody wins an argument by either raising their voice or by

:11:09.:11:13.

shouting. Persuasion is by far the better way to go. Let's put this to

:11:14.:11:18.

the test. I think you're absolutely wrong.

:11:19.:11:40.

That wasn't shouting. You report on conflicts but you don't like

:11:41.:11:45.

confrontation? Yes, that's the best way. Thank you very much indeed

:11:46.:11:48.

Benedicte and Matthew. We will see you again at half past 11. Thank you

:11:49.:11:52.

for the time being. We will be back at 11pm for all the top stories

:11:53.:11:57.

making the news tomorrow. Stay with us on BBC News tonight. At 11 we

:11:58.:12:01.

will look at the Government review into those powers of the House of

:12:02.:12:05.

Lords we were speaking about, and it accusations from Downing Street that

:12:06.:12:08.

the peers overreached themselves last night when they defeated those

:12:09.:12:12.

proposals on tax credits. Coming up next on BBC News, it is time for

:12:13.:12:19.

Hello there. Welcome to Sportsday. The headlines this evening...
