:00:00. > :00:00.their run without goals at Moscow? Cricket, racing and news for

:00:00. > :00:13.American football fans coming up after the papers.

:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:17. > :00:25.With me are Caroline Frost, Entertainment Editor

:00:26. > :00:30.at the Huffington Post, and the Parliamentary journalist Tony Grew.

:00:31. > :00:41.The FT has a story we've been covering here

:00:42. > :00:48.on BBC News this evening, saying Amazon is to open a High Street book

:00:49. > :00:51.shop in a move the paper describes as "Poacher turns

:00:52. > :00:57.shopkeeper". TheExpress says walking just 30 minutes a day is the best

:00:58. > :01:00.way to shed the pounds and keep them off.

:01:01. > :01:02.The Daily Telegraph says town hall officials who abuse phone

:01:03. > :01:05.and email snooping powers will face up to two years in prison.

:01:06. > :01:08.The Guardian leads with the news that junior doctors are to

:01:09. > :01:12.be offered an 11% pay rise as part of a package of concessions to stop

:01:13. > :01:16.The Metro has the same top story, saying the British Medical

:01:17. > :01:20.Association is sceptical and is demanding more information.

:01:21. > :01:23.Details about the death of Robin Williams lead the Mirror -

:01:24. > :01:25.with the actor's wife saying he killed himself because he was

:01:26. > :01:49.The Guardian first. Jeremy Hunt is offering 11% to junior doctors. This

:01:50. > :01:53.is a last chance saloon. To reach a compromise and to head off strike

:01:54. > :01:58.action as we are going to the crucial period of the winter and

:01:59. > :02:02.Christmas period when services absolutely will be at a premium.

:02:03. > :02:09.Tony, it sounds like a large pay rise, is there a catch? The BMA say

:02:10. > :02:13.they are sceptical. We do not know the full details, the Department of

:02:14. > :02:20.Health will release them tomorrow. Headline figure is 11%. The dispute

:02:21. > :02:25.is about a complicated top-up system to the basic pay. Around 40%, 50% of

:02:26. > :02:30.money junior doctors get is based on things like the hours they have been

:02:31. > :02:36.on call and responsibilities, Jeremy Hunt wants to get rid of the banding

:02:37. > :02:39.system. So an 11% pay rise is 10% more than any other public sector

:02:40. > :02:45.worker is being offered. And you wonder what the reaction the others

:02:46. > :02:50.would be. Exactly. I am not sure this will work. What the Health

:02:51. > :02:58.Secretary wants to avoid is a strike and junior. Is bringing the NHS to

:02:59. > :03:02.get sneeze. As winter is looming. Or I see on my own social media feed is

:03:03. > :03:08.enormous amounts of sympathetic postings to the doctors. We have

:03:09. > :03:12.seen this thing with Tube drivers in London which is very metro centric.

:03:13. > :03:19.But with something like doctors, everybody reaches out. We have also

:03:20. > :03:22.had the doctors and nurses do not get rewarded sufficiently so when

:03:23. > :03:28.something like this happens, it does reach everybody. It is a golden rule

:03:29. > :03:31.of politics, do not pick fights with doctors and nurses because

:03:32. > :03:36.politicians will not win. We will see what happens. I quit three, when

:03:37. > :03:46.they thought it could not get worse, it just has. We had diesel emissions

:03:47. > :03:52.six months ago and is now they have come forward and they are trying to

:03:53. > :03:57.handle the PR desperately and they say it does look as though they

:03:58. > :04:00.could also have been shifting the figures on the CO2 emissions and

:04:01. > :04:06.fuel consumption. And petrol engines for the first time. Diesel engines

:04:07. > :04:10.and now petrol. It is an interesting story. Thinking about the massive

:04:11. > :04:15.damage to the reputation and according to this report, the people

:04:16. > :04:22.in charge of VW said between ten and 20 employees have caused this level

:04:23. > :04:27.of reputational damage. It is about the nature of reputation and if we

:04:28. > :04:31.think about VW before the scandal, German engineering, efficient. Now

:04:32. > :04:36.that has been blown out of the water. But much more importantly is

:04:37. > :04:42.pollution. If these tests have been pollution. If these tests have been

:04:43. > :04:44.fixed so cars that do not meet efficiency standards have been

:04:45. > :04:50.driving around on the roads belching out fumes we have been breathing

:04:51. > :04:55.again, it is a serious public health issue. To be fair to VW, the Chief

:04:56. > :04:59.Executive has said this is their own digging. From the start, you says, I

:05:00. > :05:04.have pushed hard for the relentless and comprehensive clarification of

:05:05. > :05:10.events, we will. At nothing and nobody. It sounds like a mission to

:05:11. > :05:15.unveil wrongdoing. Is that a PR exercise? This is the new boss who

:05:16. > :05:22.has been handed a bag of spanners literally. This is probably the only

:05:23. > :05:28.thing on his desk. All projects at VW I guess have been at least

:05:29. > :05:32.part... They have to get to the bottom of it. It makes people think

:05:33. > :05:40.twice about dyeing what they would think is traditionally a VW, like a

:05:41. > :05:45.golf. And suddenly... Clearing out the stables. Train to restore the

:05:46. > :05:49.reputation will not protect them from the series of lawsuits it could

:05:50. > :05:54.face from consumers and people breathing in the air so the story is

:05:55. > :05:59.not going to get better. Not a great story for the Inland Revenue. Half

:06:00. > :06:05.of calls to the taxman go without being responded. Reputational

:06:06. > :06:10.damage. Why do they not answer the phone? Nobody will be falling over

:06:11. > :06:16.with sympathy for anything to do with the taxman. But this feels very

:06:17. > :06:20.familiar. We know that if we are the taxman 50p, they will be on the

:06:21. > :06:27.phone and they have our attention and vice versa. It is to hear that

:06:28. > :06:32.if there is other modelling, this is about filling in the form correctly

:06:33. > :06:38.so you might get benefits once a year, and that will become a bit of

:06:39. > :06:42.a model. This is a report from the Public Accounts Committee that has

:06:43. > :06:45.used vicious language but it points out the difference between the

:06:46. > :06:49.private and public sector. The private sector is much better,

:06:50. > :06:56.relatively, adds doing with large volumes of calls and customers

:06:57. > :06:59.concerned. But seriously, the Telegraph says millions could have

:07:00. > :07:05.filled in tax reforms incorrectly because HMRC fails to answer calls.

:07:06. > :07:11.But the Chancellor, this could be toxic. At a time when you impose

:07:12. > :07:14.significant cuts on working families, the fact your own

:07:15. > :07:18.department does not appear to efficiently be able to raise taxes

:07:19. > :07:23.is also a serious political issue. The Financial Times Read on that. We

:07:24. > :07:29.will talk about this interesting story about Amazon. Of all things,

:07:30. > :07:35.they have opened a good old-fashioned book shop. Reinventing

:07:36. > :07:42.the wheel. It does make me chuckle. They are opening it in Seattle

:07:43. > :07:46.weather is already a significant number of millionaires and

:07:47. > :07:54.billionaires. This was covered in a magazine about ten years ago. People

:07:55. > :07:57.are retiring at 35, 40 at -- with millions in the bank and starting

:07:58. > :08:01.wonderful community projects around this North West corner. And they get

:08:02. > :08:05.the benefit of these lovely communities. I worry about the rest

:08:06. > :08:11.of the world where Independent book-sellers have died a quick death

:08:12. > :08:15.and we have only looked at one place to thank for that. It is an

:08:16. > :08:22.indication people still love physical books and they do not just

:08:23. > :08:31.want to get books online. It reminds me of video killed the radio star.

:08:32. > :08:35.Books clearly not been killed. This is just Amazon putting their toe in

:08:36. > :08:39.the water and they may open more. It is also about the difference between

:08:40. > :08:46.online and High Street. That is one of the things Amazon is interested

:08:47. > :08:50.in, how do people behave differently in a shop? It is a very different

:08:51. > :08:57.browsing experience. It will be interesting what Amazon found out. I

:08:58. > :09:04.love the quote at the end that same is -- that says, a man from

:09:05. > :09:10.Waterstones says he hopes it falls flat on its face! So no love lost.

:09:11. > :09:20.Candy Crush Saga in a six billion dollars deal. Who are any of these

:09:21. > :09:23.people? It is astonishing. I see in my social media feed and anybody who

:09:24. > :09:31.invites me to play a game, I see that as a reason to block them, if

:09:32. > :09:35.not permanently. 474 million users feel differently, hence the huge

:09:36. > :09:42.numbers mentioned. That is why you are not Li Na. It must be. It is a

:09:43. > :09:47.huge sale. When I saw the front page of the Financial Times, it struck me

:09:48. > :09:50.these are companies that did not exist ten years ago, never mind

:09:51. > :09:54.being on the front page to talk about these huge deals. It is

:09:55. > :09:58.another example of the way the internet has transformed areas of

:09:59. > :10:06.this is such as online retailing that did not exist. For now! Amazon

:10:07. > :10:10.might bring us all back to old village squares, hopefully!

:10:11. > :10:16.Finally, a sad story about Robin Williams, a great actor who many

:10:17. > :10:21.millions of fans adored. The story of his suicide, a tragedy. The

:10:22. > :10:26.Mirror suggesting it was not depression, it was dementia. He had

:10:27. > :10:30.been suffering from depression for many years, it was well-documented.

:10:31. > :10:34.His widow has given her first extended interview about the sad

:10:35. > :10:38.circumstances of his death last year and she has revealed he had been

:10:39. > :10:43.previously diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and he was

:10:44. > :10:47.undergoing neurocognitive testing and was due to visit a presidential

:10:48. > :10:54.faculty to be tested and she said that he was looking at another three

:10:55. > :10:58.years of life and they would be difficult and he must have felt his

:10:59. > :11:01.options were getting more limited. It does not make the story better

:11:02. > :11:06.but it sheds light on the tragic circumstances. And it rings the bell

:11:07. > :11:09.that mental health is very important. We will talk again in one

:11:10. > :11:21.hour. Thank you. Back at half eleven for another

:11:22. > :11:25.look at the stories making the news tomorrow.

:11:26. > :11:29.Stay with us here on BBC News: More on proposals to drive up

:11:30. > :11:34.standards in schools. But coming up next it's time

:11:35. > :11:48.for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday -
