pressure Josey Mourinho's Chelsea side were playing coming off the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
back of a fifth defeat of the season. That is all coming up in | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
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. | |
