:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look at what the the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:25.Here to discuss them are Mihir Bose from the London Evening Standard,

:00:26. > :00:36.Before we plunge in, let's take a look at what you might call the

:00:37. > :00:40.headlines of the headlines, starting with The Independent, which says

:00:41. > :00:43.Jeremy Corbyn has 'gone to war' with the head of the military after the

:00:44. > :00:45.Chief of the Defence Staff questioned Mr Corbyn's stance

:00:46. > :00:49.Metro has the same story as its lead.

:00:50. > :00:53.The Telegraph says General Sir Nicholas Houghton's comments were

:00:54. > :00:57.The Express reports that millions of people could get

:00:58. > :01:01.a tax windfall due to new benefits being launched in April.

:01:02. > :01:04.The FT leads on Saudi Arabia's oil policy, saying it is determined to

:01:05. > :01:13.continue pumping enough oil to protect its global market share.

:01:14. > :01:15.The i says airlines and tour operators are defying the

:01:16. > :01:18.Foreign Office by offering flights and holidays to Sharm el-Sheikh,

:01:19. > :01:23.The Times focuses on Europe, reporting that the Prime Minister

:01:24. > :01:25.might be prepared to hold the referendum on Britain's

:01:26. > :01:28.membership of the EU in June, if other leaders agree to

:01:29. > :01:32.The Guardian also looks at Mr Cameron's EU demands but says top

:01:33. > :01:44.diplomats are warning that Britain is losing its clout overseas.

:01:45. > :01:58.Let's begin our review with the Sun. When one should bow, and how far? I

:01:59. > :02:03.can't say this, because apparently it is quite rude, but if you are on

:02:04. > :02:07.social media there is a handy explainer of how much you should and

:02:08. > :02:16.should not bowel. Every inch of it means something. I think he falls

:02:17. > :02:27.between, unacceptable versus outright dangerous -- bow. A

:02:28. > :02:32.Communist? He may well be. The Sun says he does nodded. I think if you

:02:33. > :02:41.look at the angle of his neck, it looks about 45 to 60 degrees.

:02:42. > :02:50.Probably his neck muscles... I'm not his doctor, I don't know. Can he not

:02:51. > :02:57.bowel any further? He might be suffering. -- bow. You could do it

:02:58. > :03:05.Lebanese style and go down with a hard. Or in China, you could count

:03:06. > :03:15.it out. Why does the Psion think this is a front-page lead? -- the

:03:16. > :03:26.Sun? This is a man of the left, who doesn't believe in nuclear weapon.

:03:27. > :03:33.And he is a Republican as well. -- weapons. This would be an historic

:03:34. > :03:37.moment to label him and get that one picture, and say, Jeremy Corbyn

:03:38. > :03:40.could never become Prime Minister because he doesn't pay in of

:03:41. > :03:44.respect. Do you think this is the kind of image that will haunt him?

:03:45. > :03:59.His advisers properly thought they did quite well. He has a red poppy

:04:00. > :04:02.on, a tired... -- tie. It is interesting to see how far this

:04:03. > :04:16.backlash will go and at what point it. Yielding. It may reach a point,

:04:17. > :04:22.it might finally lead to his burnout but it may well be that people do

:04:23. > :04:31.stop caring about it -- what point it might stop yielding. It is

:04:32. > :04:40.possible, but I think this picture will be endless. It's a bit like the

:04:41. > :04:56.duffle coat issue. Whatever it was, that pig, David Miller bed eating a

:04:57. > :05:04.banana? The bacon sandwich? -- that picture. Those images become

:05:05. > :05:11.iconic. I wonder how much it will hold, there has also been a shift.

:05:12. > :05:17.If the press were to yield that sort of benefit, I don't think you would

:05:18. > :05:21.be where he is. We had a whole summer of all kinds ridiculous

:05:22. > :05:27.stories. Where will it stop? It will be interesting to see. I'm not sure

:05:28. > :05:34.if this is actually benefiting or harming the people who are trying

:05:35. > :05:38.it. Jeremy Corbyn, pictures from Sunday, the wonderful picture on the

:05:39. > :05:43.front of The Guardian with Tony Blair framed over his shoulder. He

:05:44. > :05:52.almost looks like he knows there is something going on. It is about the

:05:53. > :06:02.relationship between politicians. They politicians of the same party,

:06:03. > :06:07.you don't see Tony Blair's hand holding a knife. The other story is

:06:08. > :06:12.Jeremy Corbyn complaining that the chief of the defence staff has

:06:13. > :06:19.criticised his position on nuclear weapons. The Shadow Defence

:06:20. > :06:24.Secretary. Nevertheless, I think he is making a very good point. Jeremy

:06:25. > :06:31.Corbyn is the elected member whether you like it or not, he is the Labour

:06:32. > :06:34.Party elected leader. The chief of the defence staff is not an elected

:06:35. > :06:41.official, he is not meant to take public positions in defiance or

:06:42. > :06:50.against the elected person. If he thinks that the defensive role would

:06:51. > :06:54.be in danger if Jeremy Corbyn came into power, one might argue it is

:06:55. > :07:15.his moral duty to say something to do it goes back to be civil war. --

:07:16. > :07:21.realm. -- the. Intervention by serving military personnel is

:07:22. > :07:30.immoral because it stops the principle of elected officials. To

:07:31. > :07:34.actually question the constitutional principle, I think it has been one

:07:35. > :07:38.of his smarter moves. I think he has bumbled and not quite gotten it

:07:39. > :07:45.right, a bit shambolic. This is one of the first hallmark is that he

:07:46. > :07:49.might be growing into the leader of the opposition with all the politics

:07:50. > :07:54.that it involves. Basically you think on this, Jeremy Corbyn is in

:07:55. > :08:00.the right and the general is in the wrong? Listening to him, for the

:08:01. > :08:06.first time Jeremy Corbyn founded not like a backbench MP who was always

:08:07. > :08:10.rebelling. He actually sounded like the leader for the first time.

:08:11. > :08:18.Whether he has been tutored about how to speak, or... There was some

:08:19. > :08:21.authority there. Before that, Jeremy Cobham look like he was surprised to

:08:22. > :08:26.have found himself leader of the Labour Party. I think it will point

:08:27. > :08:30.to some interesting things in the future. Something that may be coming

:08:31. > :08:34.up soon which Jeremy Corbyn will have to take a stand on is the EU

:08:35. > :08:45.referendum. We could have it as soon as next summer? According to guess,

:08:46. > :08:50.yes. As soon as June -- this. Potentially another migration crisis

:08:51. > :08:56.this summer, they want to get out of the way before that. David Cameron

:08:57. > :09:07.has now clearly linked it, he has talked about being part of the EU

:09:08. > :09:11.not only as economic security but national security. There is suddenly

:09:12. > :09:15.a quick shift, I think it is him deciding that, maybe this has gone a

:09:16. > :09:21.bit too far. He needs to be pulled back and maybe needs to fall into

:09:22. > :09:27.line. On Tuesday, we will get the letter publicly setting out for the

:09:28. > :09:34.first time what it is David Cameron wants from this negotiation. And the

:09:35. > :09:38.Minister is trying to stop the advance of the people who want to

:09:39. > :09:43.leave, a considerable number in his own party. People are saying

:09:44. > :09:47.whatever you come back with, it won't be good enough. We will have

:09:48. > :09:56.to leave. I think for the first time, he is trying to stop the

:09:57. > :10:05.movement. The out lobby has had the best of the argument. They have made

:10:06. > :10:10.a watt of headway. This is the first time that it is not just an economic

:10:11. > :10:14.argument. He is saying there is a wider picture of where Britain

:10:15. > :10:26.stands in the world -- lot. I think he is trying to position himself

:10:27. > :10:33.differently. Be patriotically -- the patriotic thing to stay, is his

:10:34. > :10:43.ankle. It leads him to a peace the Guardian has, one of the points they

:10:44. > :10:55.make is that working with Europe is a necessary component of nearly

:10:56. > :11:05.every area of policy -- links him to a piece. It says, what would happen

:11:06. > :11:10.if Britain walked away, not just in terms of the economics but in its

:11:11. > :11:22.clout in the world? Britain is going to be facing him. India and China

:11:23. > :11:27.also, according to a BBC report we are not even in the top ten of

:11:28. > :11:34.India's trading partners. Would that be different if we were not in the

:11:35. > :11:38.EU? The way Britain has handled its Indian relationship, this

:11:39. > :11:43.combination of nostalgia and things like that has not gone over. We had

:11:44. > :11:51.this Indian Summer Series which suggested that people -- if people

:11:52. > :11:59.had slept with the Indians, perhaps it could be different. Britain needs

:12:00. > :12:06.to move away from their current position. We have a story later in

:12:07. > :12:11.the evening, potentially it was the Welsh who taught the Indians how to

:12:12. > :12:18.speak? Surely I sound like a Welshman. I was told it was Welsh

:12:19. > :12:26.Presbyterian ministers who had gone and taught English. An Indian who

:12:27. > :12:29.came here once was very offended when a Welsh friend of mine would

:12:30. > :12:40.not talk to him. He said, why are you making fun of my accent? We got

:12:41. > :12:46.diverted. Looking at the Financial Times, tax credits. Has George

:12:47. > :12:58.Osborne found a way out of his self imposed poll was -- hole? It was a

:12:59. > :13:03.battle of choice, it did not need to happen. What happens is that if he

:13:04. > :13:16.does take the U-turn, if he says we have money... He has the money, it

:13:17. > :13:26.suggested, because of low -- lower interest rates -- it's. You have is

:13:27. > :13:34.determined leader who will be an eye and love. Gordon Brown? It is not

:13:35. > :13:40.just an economic point, but an ideological one. It will be

:13:41. > :13:51.interesting to see what happens -- iron leader. It would be interesting

:13:52. > :13:59.to see what happens. Apparently has -- he has about ?2 million to

:14:00. > :14:14.distribute. This is a story we all like. I will not try to pronounce

:14:15. > :14:20.this name. A particular street, the post office is now refusing to

:14:21. > :14:33.deliver mail because a dog has bitten a postwoman. They are not

:14:34. > :14:38.delivering to the entire street. Is the dog covering the entire street?

:14:39. > :14:44.I take a stand against Royal Mail on this one. I like dogs, but I also

:14:45. > :14:51.think this is a basic question of collective punishment. You cannot

:14:52. > :14:58.punish the entire street. You can't go up and down the street.

:14:59. > :15:07.Worryingly, Christmas is coming, there will be a watt of post. Thank

:15:08. > :15:16.you both for making our paper review so enjoyable this evening. More on

:15:17. > :15:23.the papers at the same time tomorrow. Thank you for your

:15:24. > :15:25.company. Coming up next, the Film Review.
