Hello and welcome to our look at what the the papers will be

:00:16.:00:19.

Here to discuss them are Mihir Bose from the London Evening Standard,

:00:20.:00:25.

Before we plunge in, let's take a look at what you might call the

:00:26.:00:36.

headlines of the headlines, starting with The Independent, which says

:00:37.:00:40.

Jeremy Corbyn has 'gone to war' with the head of the military after the

:00:41.:00:43.

Chief of the Defence Staff questioned Mr Corbyn's stance

:00:44.:00:45.

Metro has the same story as its lead.

:00:46.:00:49.

The Telegraph says General Sir Nicholas Houghton's comments were

:00:50.:00:53.

The Express reports that millions of people could get

:00:54.:00:57.

a tax windfall due to new benefits being launched in April.

:00:58.:01:01.

The FT leads on Saudi Arabia's oil policy, saying it is determined to

:01:02.:01:04.

continue pumping enough oil to protect its global market share.

:01:05.:01:13.

The i says airlines and tour operators are defying the

:01:14.:01:15.

Foreign Office by offering flights and holidays to Sharm el-Sheikh,

:01:16.:01:18.

The Times focuses on Europe, reporting that the Prime Minister

:01:19.:01:23.

might be prepared to hold the referendum on Britain's

:01:24.:01:25.

membership of the EU in June, if other leaders agree to

:01:26.:01:28.

The Guardian also looks at Mr Cameron's EU demands but says top

:01:29.:01:32.

diplomats are warning that Britain is losing its clout overseas.

:01:33.:01:44.

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

:01:45.:01:58.

can't say this, because apparently it is quite rude, but if you are on

:01:59.:02:03.

social media there is a handy explainer of how much you should and

:02:04.:02:07.

should not bowel. Every inch of it means something. I think he falls

:02:08.:02:16.

between, unacceptable versus outright dangerous -- bow. A

:02:17.:02:27.

Communist? He may well be. The Sun says he does nodded. I think if you

:02:28.:02:32.

look at the angle of his neck, it looks about 45 to 60 degrees.

:02:33.:02:41.

Probably his neck muscles... I'm not his doctor, I don't know. Can he not

:02:42.:02:50.

bowel any further? He might be suffering. -- bow. You could do it

:02:51.:02:57.

Lebanese style and go down with a hard. Or in China, you could count

:02:58.:03:05.

it out. Why does the Psion think this is a front-page lead? -- the

:03:06.:03:15.

Sun? This is a man of the left, who doesn't believe in nuclear weapon.

:03:16.:03:26.

And he is a Republican as well. -- weapons. This would be an historic

:03:27.:03:33.

moment to label him and get that one picture, and say, Jeremy Corbyn

:03:34.:03:37.

could never become Prime Minister because he doesn't pay in of

:03:38.:03:40.

respect. Do you think this is the kind of image that will haunt him?

:03:41.:03:44.

His advisers properly thought they did quite well. He has a red poppy

:03:45.:03:59.

on, a tired... -- tie. It is interesting to see how far this

:04:00.:04:02.

backlash will go and at what point it. Yielding. It may reach a point,

:04:03.:04:16.

it might finally lead to his burnout but it may well be that people do

:04:17.:04:22.

stop caring about it -- what point it might stop yielding. It is

:04:23.:04:31.

possible, but I think this picture will be endless. It's a bit like the

:04:32.:04:40.

duffle coat issue. Whatever it was, that pig, David Miller bed eating a

:04:41.:04:56.

banana? The bacon sandwich? -- that picture. Those images become

:04:57.:05:04.

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

:05:05.:05:11.

If the press were to yield that sort of benefit, I don't think you would

:05:12.:05:17.

be where he is. We had a whole summer of all kinds ridiculous

:05:18.:05:21.

stories. Where will it stop? It will be interesting to see. I'm not sure

:05:22.:05:27.

if this is actually benefiting or harming the people who are trying

:05:28.:05:34.

it. Jeremy Corbyn, pictures from Sunday, the wonderful picture on the

:05:35.:05:38.

front of The Guardian with Tony Blair framed over his shoulder. He

:05:39.:05:43.

almost looks like he knows there is something going on. It is about the

:05:44.:05:52.

relationship between politicians. They politicians of the same party,

:05:53.:06:02.

you don't see Tony Blair's hand holding a knife. The other story is

:06:03.:06:07.

Jeremy Corbyn complaining that the chief of the defence staff has

:06:08.:06:12.

criticised his position on nuclear weapons. The Shadow Defence

:06:13.:06:19.

Secretary. Nevertheless, I think he is making a very good point. Jeremy

:06:20.:06:24.

Corbyn is the elected member whether you like it or not, he is the Labour

:06:25.:06:31.

Party elected leader. The chief of the defence staff is not an elected

:06:32.:06:34.

official, he is not meant to take public positions in defiance or

:06:35.:06:41.

against the elected person. If he thinks that the defensive role would

:06:42.:06:50.

be in danger if Jeremy Corbyn came into power, one might argue it is

:06:51.:06:54.

his moral duty to say something to do it goes back to be civil war. --

:06:55.:07:15.

realm. -- the. Intervention by serving military personnel is

:07:16.:07:21.

immoral because it stops the principle of elected officials. To

:07:22.:07:30.

actually question the constitutional principle, I think it has been one

:07:31.:07:34.

of his smarter moves. I think he has bumbled and not quite gotten it

:07:35.:07:38.

right, a bit shambolic. This is one of the first hallmark is that he

:07:39.:07:45.

might be growing into the leader of the opposition with all the politics

:07:46.:07:49.

that it involves. Basically you think on this, Jeremy Corbyn is in

:07:50.:07:54.

the right and the general is in the wrong? Listening to him, for the

:07:55.:08:00.

first time Jeremy Corbyn founded not like a backbench MP who was always

:08:01.:08:06.

rebelling. He actually sounded like the leader for the first time.

:08:07.:08:10.

Whether he has been tutored about how to speak, or... There was some

:08:11.:08:18.

authority there. Before that, Jeremy Cobham look like he was surprised to

:08:19.:08:21.

have found himself leader of the Labour Party. I think it will point

:08:22.:08:26.

to some interesting things in the future. Something that may be coming

:08:27.:08:30.

up soon which Jeremy Corbyn will have to take a stand on is the EU

:08:31.:08:34.

referendum. We could have it as soon as next summer? According to guess,

:08:35.:08:45.

yes. As soon as June -- this. Potentially another migration crisis

:08:46.:08:50.

this summer, they want to get out of the way before that. David Cameron

:08:51.:08:56.

has now clearly linked it, he has talked about being part of the EU

:08:57.:09:07.

not only as economic security but national security. There is suddenly

:09:08.:09:11.

a quick shift, I think it is him deciding that, maybe this has gone a

:09:12.:09:15.

bit too far. He needs to be pulled back and maybe needs to fall into

:09:16.:09:21.

line. On Tuesday, we will get the letter publicly setting out for the

:09:22.:09:27.

first time what it is David Cameron wants from this negotiation. And the

:09:28.:09:34.

Minister is trying to stop the advance of the people who want to

:09:35.:09:38.

leave, a considerable number in his own party. People are saying

:09:39.:09:43.

whatever you come back with, it won't be good enough. We will have

:09:44.:09:47.

to leave. I think for the first time, he is trying to stop the

:09:48.:09:56.

movement. The out lobby has had the best of the argument. They have made

:09:57.:10:05.

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

:10:06.:10:10.

argument. He is saying there is a wider picture of where Britain

:10:11.:10:14.

stands in the world -- lot. I think he is trying to position himself

:10:15.:10:26.

differently. Be patriotically -- the patriotic thing to stay, is his

:10:27.:10:33.

ankle. It leads him to a peace the Guardian has, one of the points they

:10:34.:10:43.

make is that working with Europe is a necessary component of nearly

:10:44.:10:55.

every area of policy -- links him to a piece. It says, what would happen

:10:56.:11:05.

if Britain walked away, not just in terms of the economics but in its

:11:06.:11:10.

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

:11:11.:11:22.

also, according to a BBC report we are not even in the top ten of

:11:23.:11:27.

India's trading partners. Would that be different if we were not in the

:11:28.:11:34.

EU? The way Britain has handled its Indian relationship, this

:11:35.:11:38.

combination of nostalgia and things like that has not gone over. We had

:11:39.:11:43.

this Indian Summer Series which suggested that people -- if people

:11:44.:11:51.

had slept with the Indians, perhaps it could be different. Britain needs

:11:52.:11:59.

to move away from their current position. We have a story later in

:12:00.:12:06.

the evening, potentially it was the Welsh who taught the Indians how to

:12:07.:12:11.

speak? Surely I sound like a Welshman. I was told it was Welsh

:12:12.:12:18.

Presbyterian ministers who had gone and taught English. An Indian who

:12:19.:12:26.

came here once was very offended when a Welsh friend of mine would

:12:27.:12:29.

not talk to him. He said, why are you making fun of my accent? We got

:12:30.:12:40.

diverted. Looking at the Financial Times, tax credits. Has George

:12:41.:12:46.

Osborne found a way out of his self imposed poll was -- hole? It was a

:12:47.:12:58.

battle of choice, it did not need to happen. What happens is that if he

:12:59.:13:03.

does take the U-turn, if he says we have money... He has the money, it

:13:04.:13:16.

suggested, because of low -- lower interest rates -- it's. You have is

:13:17.:13:26.

determined leader who will be an eye and love. Gordon Brown? It is not

:13:27.:13:34.

just an economic point, but an ideological one. It will be

:13:35.:13:40.

interesting to see what happens -- iron leader. It would be interesting

:13:41.:13:51.

to see what happens. Apparently has -- he has about ?2 million to

:13:52.:13:59.

distribute. This is a story we all like. I will not try to pronounce

:14:00.:14:14.

this name. A particular street, the post office is now refusing to

:14:15.:14:20.

deliver mail because a dog has bitten a postwoman. They are not

:14:21.:14:33.

delivering to the entire street. Is the dog covering the entire street?

:14:34.:14:38.

I take a stand against Royal Mail on this one. I like dogs, but I also

:14:39.:14:44.

think this is a basic question of collective punishment. You cannot

:14:45.:14:51.

punish the entire street. You can't go up and down the street.

:14:52.:14:58.

Worryingly, Christmas is coming, there will be a watt of post. Thank

:14:59.:15:07.

you both for making our paper review so enjoyable this evening. More on

:15:08.:15:16.

the papers at the same time tomorrow. Thank you for your

:15:17.:15:23.

company. Coming up next, the Film Review.
