:00:18. > :00:20.our look ahead to what the papers With me are Laura Hughes,
:00:21. > :00:23.political correspondent for the Daily Telegraph and
:00:24. > :00:26.Joseph Harker, who's Assistant The Daily Mail claims a British
:00:27. > :00:37.flight was close to being struck by a missile in Egyptian airspace,
:00:38. > :00:40.a few months The Telegraph shows
:00:41. > :00:44.a tired tourist waiting to be flown The fallout from the Russian plane
:00:45. > :00:53.crashing in Egypt is also The i says that intelligence
:00:54. > :00:57.about the crash suggests a bomb was The main FT story says
:00:58. > :01:02.a job surge in the US could pave And the Express claims many over-50s
:01:03. > :01:23.in Britain are struggling to get We will start with the airline crash
:01:24. > :01:32.story. The Guardian has said that Russia is suspending all flights to
:01:33. > :01:40.Egypt. US intelligence suggest a bomb brought the plane down this is
:01:41. > :01:44.all sorts of chatter that is being listened to, some of which will
:01:45. > :01:49.amount to nothing, but we seem to be edging closer towards the idea of a
:01:50. > :01:52.bomb. Today for the first time French officials are reporting that
:01:53. > :02:00.they have listened to the black box and heard the sound of an explosion.
:02:01. > :02:03.They say it is not a technical fault, that wouldn't happen with a
:02:04. > :02:10.technical fault. It is most likely a bomb. The question was that it might
:02:11. > :02:19.have been a ground to air missile, but that was ruled out early. It was
:02:20. > :02:24.initially said that it is impossible to launch a missile and hit a plane
:02:25. > :02:28.flying at 40,000 feet. This is the first time Russians will have felt
:02:29. > :02:39.that there is some kind of retaliation for response to their
:02:40. > :02:45.army being sent to Syria. They have been trying to deny that there could
:02:46. > :02:52.be any connection, but this makes the possibility that there is an
:02:53. > :02:56.involvement. And we wonder whether the Russian airstrikes we have seen
:02:57. > :03:01.in Syria will continue, because they were sold at home as a pre-emptive
:03:02. > :03:08.strike, and here we are edging towards this idea that Russian
:03:09. > :03:11.holidaymakers were a target. It is middle-class Russians that will
:03:12. > :03:15.really hit here, and it is interesting to see how they will
:03:16. > :03:19.respond. As you say, they put it off, denying it was a bomb, and
:03:20. > :03:35.today they have done a bit of a U-turn. It will be difficult for
:03:36. > :03:37.him, because there wasn't much backing for Russian troops to be on
:03:38. > :03:42.the ground, so whether that happens I don't know. This whole debate
:03:43. > :03:47.about British military intervention in Syria will come up again because
:03:48. > :03:54.perhaps it sends a message of this is what happens if you intervene.
:03:55. > :03:56.Maybe this is a message from ISIS. I think when these things happen and
:03:57. > :04:04.they get a reaction like this, rather than retreat they tend to
:04:05. > :04:20.step up their efforts. They will possibly say that this is a reason
:04:21. > :04:28.to do even more. We see this in conflicts everywhere, that once
:04:29. > :04:36.politicians have gone in one direction they seem to advance,
:04:37. > :04:44.rather than retreat. Fairly emphatic here in The Times that a bomb has
:04:45. > :04:48.torn the plane apart. We have been creeping towards this, but it comes
:04:49. > :04:51.back to the analysis of the black boxes, which were recovered early
:04:52. > :04:55.and they have now released this bit of information, which mentions the
:04:56. > :05:04.sound that was heard. Yes, this is the first time we have heard
:05:05. > :05:10.anything... That has given room for both Cairo and Moscow to deny it,
:05:11. > :05:13.but this kind of evidence, you can't really argue with it and I think
:05:14. > :05:17.that is why the papers have taken such a strong line. The
:05:18. > :05:21.consternation in Egypt that once again their tourist industry, upon
:05:22. > :05:32.which much of the country does rely, will be affected. This is terrible
:05:33. > :05:37.for Egypt, and if it is about lax security measures at the airport, in
:05:38. > :05:42.this time where there has been so many security concerns, you have
:05:43. > :05:46.Libya next door, where ISIS have a foothold, and the idea that in this
:05:47. > :05:53.context no one would be taking basic security measures at an airport is
:05:54. > :05:56.astonishing. The Telegraph talks about the tone that officials in
:05:57. > :06:01.Egypt are taking. Obviously public concern as well, Britain in
:06:02. > :06:07.particular but Russia as well, did suspend flights. The Telegraph has
:06:08. > :06:12.gone in with the line, quoting people who have said that Egypt is
:06:13. > :06:17.sabotaging Britain's attempts to fly tourists out, and this is an act of
:06:18. > :06:21.retaliation, because Egypt were not too pleased that Britain flew into
:06:22. > :06:26.these huge actions. It was actually a Russian plane went down, not a
:06:27. > :06:29.British one. There are twice as many Russian tourists out there than
:06:30. > :06:33.their wry British, and yet Cameron came out very soon and said he
:06:34. > :06:38.thought it was a bomb and we are going to stop flights, and they have
:06:39. > :06:41.not been happy about that. We don't know what intelligence
:06:42. > :06:46.hasn't been shared with the Russians that we have access to. It will be
:06:47. > :06:51.surprising if they say carry on going on holiday after this plan has
:06:52. > :06:56.gone down. It depends which side of the fence you are sitting on. Look
:06:57. > :07:03.at the Daily Mail, rocket attack on UK tour jet. This is a missile that
:07:04. > :07:12.was spotted 1000 feet away from a plane in August that was flying back
:07:13. > :07:15.from Egypt. It clearly wasn't an attack, it seems to have been some
:07:16. > :07:19.Egyptian military exercises that seemed to have fired a rocket, but
:07:20. > :07:24.the interesting thing is that it seems that the Egyptian military
:07:25. > :07:29.have acknowledged that the missile was theirs, it flew within 1000 feet
:07:30. > :07:34.of a passenger airline, and they have acknowledged that they were
:07:35. > :07:41.firing rockets that close. It is an extraordinary admission. If you were
:07:42. > :07:48.one of the people on board, it would be very disturbing to read that. I
:07:49. > :07:50.want to know how high the plane was flying and why there was no
:07:51. > :07:59.communication with the plane and what was going on on the ground.
:08:00. > :08:01.This happened on August 23, if they knew that these exercises were
:08:02. > :08:10.taking place how many tourists would have decided not to go anywhere near
:08:11. > :08:16.the Sinai? The Department for Transport has issued a statement in
:08:17. > :08:19.the light of this story saying, we investigated this reported incident
:08:20. > :08:23.at the time had concluded it was not a targeted attack, and was likely to
:08:24. > :08:28.be connected to routine exercise is being conducted by the military in
:08:29. > :08:34.the area, and at the time the pilot kept quiet about it. It doesn't
:08:35. > :08:42.answer the question why it was allowed to happen. Why was the plane
:08:43. > :08:47.that close to this missile? If a missile can come that close on
:08:48. > :08:53.August 23, it could potentially have happened last weekend, which is a
:08:54. > :09:01.scary thing. Unless it is a bomb, which got put in the hold. The
:09:02. > :09:07.Independent, hedge funds attack threatens care home meltdown. This
:09:08. > :09:16.is the four seasons group threatening to sell off a lot of
:09:17. > :09:25.homes. The fear here is that there is a headhunter coming in, hoping to
:09:26. > :09:28.buy up care homes. And they worry that business people are trying to
:09:29. > :09:31.make a profit out of elderly people, and the well-being won't be there
:09:32. > :09:36.primary concern. I think that is what this is getting out. It
:09:37. > :09:39.highlights an issue we have in this country, with an elderly population
:09:40. > :09:42.that is growing and we might not have the capacity to how is
:09:43. > :09:48.everyone. We don't have the sort of culture where we take in our
:09:49. > :09:53.elderly, our parents, which others do have around the world, just not
:09:54. > :09:56.here. And the government being urged to step into something where the
:09:57. > :10:00.free market is supposed to do some of the job for us, because it is
:10:01. > :10:07.expensive for councils to provide it. It is reported with astonishment
:10:08. > :10:13.that people might be caring for the elderly for money rather than just
:10:14. > :10:16.kindness, but we all know that there are many people trying to make money
:10:17. > :10:24.out of the health service and social care. When we leave things open to
:10:25. > :10:28.the free market we see things like people in zero hours and underpaid
:10:29. > :10:32.workers, and we get these routines where people are given 15 minutes of
:10:33. > :10:38.care from a visitor when everything is pared down to the absolute
:10:39. > :10:45.minimum. The actual care for people after hospital... It is very
:10:46. > :10:51.difficult for them to go home, but the national living wage is going
:10:52. > :10:56.up... If people are working on zero hours they are still facing
:10:57. > :11:01.difficulty. It is the fact that costs are pared down in other ways
:11:02. > :11:10.that these companies are still looking to make money out of this.
:11:11. > :11:16.The Telegraph, the PM is telling us everyone will have the right to fast
:11:17. > :11:21.broadband. In some parts of the country that is easier than others.
:11:22. > :11:26.It is, but it is interesting that everyone should have a look and have
:11:27. > :11:29.a cheque when they go home. The head of Ofcom has said that one in five
:11:30. > :11:35.households is suffering because of poor internet connection because the
:11:36. > :11:41.route is placed too close to a lamp, a stereo or a baby monitor. Many
:11:42. > :11:45.people have this problem, and it is something that they feel is their
:11:46. > :11:54.right, just like access to water and electricity. How this can actually
:11:55. > :12:06.be implemented is unclear. We can all move our routers. Please pass
:12:07. > :12:17.your thanks back on. Let's look at the FT. Pensioners steered towards
:12:18. > :12:23.cheaper council, it is expensive and difficult to manage this situation
:12:24. > :12:29.where you can now take money out of your pension. We have a situation
:12:30. > :12:32.since the last budget where people are able to remove all their money
:12:33. > :12:37.from their pension pot and spent it in one big splurge or invest it
:12:38. > :12:41.however they want to, rather than getting it as an annual annuity.
:12:42. > :12:46.There are obviously huge amounts of money involved in this, and people
:12:47. > :12:49.who are supposed to advise pensioners are so worried about
:12:50. > :12:54.getting it wrong that they have priced themselves out of the market,
:12:55. > :13:01.deliberately. They have then handed it over to this automated
:13:02. > :13:05.information line. Press one for a Lamborghini, press two for a home in
:13:06. > :13:19.the south of France, whatever... If only! I think most people would want
:13:20. > :13:24.that interaction with other people when working out what to do with all
:13:25. > :13:31.the money they have signed up. -- saver. This is your life savings,
:13:32. > :13:38.and if you are not comfortable using a computer, you want to use the
:13:39. > :13:45.telephone, what if you are one of those people? Finally, Amanda who is
:13:46. > :13:52.editing tonight found the story. I will protect outcasts... This is
:13:53. > :13:57.mistrust... The environment secretary said she cuts the mouldy
:13:58. > :14:01.bits of cheese and eats them anyway, but she is telling us that there are
:14:02. > :14:06.particular foodstuffs particular to this country that should get
:14:07. > :14:20.detection. She is so right. Stand up to the Bakewell tart and Blackwell
:14:21. > :14:27.-- Blackpool Rock. There are 54 food items that are protected, 64 in
:14:28. > :14:32.Britain, but France has 223. She is desperate to catch up with France,
:14:33. > :14:41.that Britain should have as many protected foods as France, so she is
:14:42. > :14:46.going out to try to build it up. I think Eccles cakes, Lancashire
:14:47. > :14:53.hotpot, Yorkshire pudding and Newcastle Brown ale, they should be
:14:54. > :15:03.protected as well. What else is on the list? I want you to say
:15:04. > :15:10.Birmingham balti. Jersey potatoes... Devon cider, Welsh
:15:11. > :15:14.laverbread. She says we need to shout about our food and drink as
:15:15. > :15:23.much as other countries. We have some very exciting food culture. She
:15:24. > :15:33.says this is about British branding, great British products. It
:15:34. > :15:37.is down to Europe, isn't it? What if Britain comes out of Europe, will be
:15:38. > :15:45.lose the right to protect? Maybe that will swing the whole referendum
:15:46. > :15:55.campaign! I must mention as a proud Midlander, the pork pie and Stilton.
:15:56. > :16:04.There are so many! She says she eats mouldy cheese. I love that story.
:16:05. > :16:09.Thank you both, I hope you have enjoyed it. Coming up next,
:16:10. > :16:11.Sportsday.
