:00:16. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look at the morning's papers.

:00:23. > :00:29.With me are Kate Devlin, political correspondent

:00:30. > :00:32.for the Glasgow Herald, and Joel Taylor, deputy editor of the Metro.

:00:33. > :00:36.Political problems for both the Conservatives and Labour dominate

:00:37. > :00:42.The Telegraph says Jeremy Corbyn is on the verge

:00:43. > :00:45.of demanding that Labour MPs oppose military action in Syria -

:00:46. > :00:48.despite most of the Shadow Cabinet being supportive of air strikes.

:00:49. > :00:50.The paper claims this would provoke an unprecedented crisis

:00:51. > :00:53.According to the Independent, Union boss Len McCLuskey has warned

:00:54. > :00:56.Labour MPs against trying to oust Mr Corbyn, threatening to mobilise

:00:57. > :01:01.The Times has more on that McCluskey warning - it says he told Corbyn's

:01:02. > :01:11.opponents they were writing their political obituaries.

:01:12. > :01:15.It's the Conservatives who are on the cover of The i - the paper says

:01:16. > :01:18.Tory Party Chair Lord Feldman is to be questioned over a bullying

:01:19. > :01:20.scandal which has already prompted the resignation of minister Grant

:01:21. > :01:33.Pressure mounts on Feldman is the headline in the Guardian, which says

:01:34. > :01:37.support is growing for a full independent inquiry into the

:01:38. > :01:41.scandal. And it is more of the same in the Mail which makes reference to

:01:42. > :01:46.the Lord Feldman's close friendship with David Cameron. And finally the

:01:47. > :01:50.Express has something entirely different, a pill which could help

:01:51. > :01:55.us live to 120 is being tested on humans for the first time! Let's

:01:56. > :02:01.begin with a happy story for a change. We are all Scottish know!

:02:02. > :02:06.They Independent. Game, set and history! A picture of a victorious

:02:07. > :02:09.Andy Murray, overcome with joy, having beaten Belgium and helped

:02:10. > :02:14.Britain win the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936. It is Great

:02:15. > :02:20.Britain, but the Scots will be particularly proud, Kate. This is

:02:21. > :02:26.such a great photograph of Andy Murray. He was so emotional when he

:02:27. > :02:29.won, which I think is a really interesting thing. We have seen a

:02:30. > :02:34.different side to Andy Murray in the last couple of years, ever since he

:02:35. > :02:38.famously cried when he did not win at Wimbledon, and the way he kind of

:02:39. > :02:42.fell to the floor with emotion today when he won, I thought that was

:02:43. > :02:47.absolutely fabulous. They have captured it in this headline and

:02:48. > :02:50.photograph. A really nice headline there as well. Ending the drought at

:02:51. > :02:55.Wimbledon, she has now ended the drought in the Davis Cup.

:02:56. > :02:58.Absolutely. Extraordinary scenes at the end there and the manner of it

:02:59. > :03:02.as well. I thought what also was very interesting was immediately

:03:03. > :03:06.after he was embraced by his team-mates he made a point to run

:03:07. > :03:09.over to the Belgian team to commiserate with them, and obviously

:03:10. > :03:13.they have been going through some hard times there recently is, so you

:03:14. > :03:20.could see not only did it mean a lot to him, but he put on a very good

:03:21. > :03:24.display for the country. Well done, Andy. David Goffin did play

:03:25. > :03:27.amazingly well and on another day he would have beaten somebody else.

:03:28. > :03:31.Let's stay with the Independent and onto the pressing issue of air

:03:32. > :03:36.strikes and what is happening in the Labour Party, with Jeremy Corbyn in

:03:37. > :03:43.particular. Len McCluskey warns against ousting Corbin, he warns

:03:44. > :03:50.Labour MPs, this is the leader of Unite. How much cloud does he have

:03:51. > :03:52.in this? Possibly not with many of the Parliamentary Labour Party, but

:03:53. > :03:56.it is interesting how you can now it is interesting how you can now

:03:57. > :04:00.see a split within Labour, not the parliamentary party but with those

:04:01. > :04:04.who voted for Corbyn in such massive numbers and those in the House of

:04:05. > :04:08.Commons -- how much clout does he have. Those in the House of Commons

:04:09. > :04:13.who see the situation in a very different way under the situation in

:04:14. > :04:18.a very different way, and could vote for air strikes in Syria. A

:04:19. > :04:23.difficult one for the Labour Party, Kate. If they try to get rid of

:04:24. > :04:27.Jeremy Corbyn, have a leadership election, he could win again, so

:04:28. > :04:31.they can't oust him without another plan. An extraordinary set of

:04:32. > :04:34.circumstances and these are the thoughts Labour MPs are having, they

:04:35. > :04:40.are trying to work through ideas about what exactly would happen.

:04:41. > :04:44.Lots of Labour MPs feel actually, you know, especially the ones very

:04:45. > :04:48.against Jeremy Corbyn and who would like to see a different leader, they

:04:49. > :04:52.feel it is just too early for a new reader. Like you say, the issue of

:04:53. > :04:58.another leadership election, that either he would win again or another

:04:59. > :05:01.left candidate would come in to replace him. And there is a real

:05:02. > :05:09.kind of feeling about what are they going to do? That said, the phrase I

:05:10. > :05:19.have heard about Hilary Benn in the past couple of days from some Labour

:05:20. > :05:23.MPs is, the nice man, and should they be forced into this situation

:05:24. > :05:30.by their own leader, the idea is that something could happen --

:05:31. > :05:35.cometh. And the showdown with MPs. Wondering whether he could call an

:05:36. > :05:40.extraordinary meeting to insist the back his stance. That would be

:05:41. > :05:43.dynamite, wouldn't it? He is meeting his Shadow Cabinet tomorrow and

:05:44. > :05:48.quite a row has developed this evening about who will decide their

:05:49. > :05:53.policy on going to war and Jeremy Corbyn has very clearly said it is

:05:54. > :05:55.the leader 's decision. Others are talking about the Shadow Cabinet

:05:56. > :05:58.making the decision and it is this that is really going to explode into

:05:59. > :06:07.the open tomorrow. There is clearly the open tomorrow. There is clearly

:06:08. > :06:11.a conservative push by certain figures to try to get him to agree

:06:12. > :06:16.to a free vote. Even his close friend and ally, John McDonnell. And

:06:17. > :06:19.you imagine there will forcibly be resignations in the short-term. It

:06:20. > :06:24.will come to a head again. Very interesting week, not even mention

:06:25. > :06:30.whether they would have enough vote in parliament for a vote this week.

:06:31. > :06:34.Let's look at the Times. Tear gas fired on protesters. There were not

:06:35. > :06:36.many protesters out on the streets compared to previous events like

:06:37. > :06:41.this because of what happened in Paris two weeks ago, the terrorist

:06:42. > :06:49.attacks, that Bisla the authorities have clamped down on that. Yes, --

:06:50. > :06:53.obviously the authorities. Not very pretty scenes. The candles, the

:06:54. > :06:58.commemorations for people killed in those attacks, apparently some of

:06:59. > :07:07.those were thrown, too, by protesters. Pretty ugly. President

:07:08. > :07:13.Cudd is clearly not happy. As he clearly was -- president Hollande.

:07:14. > :07:18.Inviting 150 readers. But a protest was extraordinary, all the peers of

:07:19. > :07:24.shoes? Yes, and I agree with you. From what France was all on says,

:07:25. > :07:27.the tensions he is under, very understandably -- with what Hollande

:07:28. > :07:33.says. The eyes of the world are now on Paris. They are, and have been

:07:34. > :07:36.for the past few weeks, four very different reasons. In the Metro.

:07:37. > :07:44.Junk food banned from nine o'clock, on the front of your paper, Joel. An

:07:45. > :07:47.intention or hope from MPs? It is a recommendation from the House of

:07:48. > :07:54.Commons select committee. The idea that adverts for junk food would be

:07:55. > :08:00.banned from pre-what a shed programmes and also that the 20% tax

:08:01. > :08:07.should be placed on the supermarkets display suite at the

:08:08. > :08:10.end of hours -- pre-watershed. I know this is the second time these

:08:11. > :08:16.sorts of things have been recommended in recent weeks. I

:08:17. > :08:20.imagine it will be the same this time. There does not seem to be a

:08:21. > :08:24.lot of appetite within the Government to do this, does their?

:08:25. > :08:28.Even though it would be popular with quite a lot of campaign groups. It

:08:29. > :08:31.would, and possibly lots of parents as well but there would be lots of

:08:32. > :08:35.other people it would not be popular with. Certainly the Conservatives

:08:36. > :08:39.have all was been keen to edge away from things that look like state

:08:40. > :08:43.intervention and it is quite a difficult one for the Government to

:08:44. > :08:47.kind of wrestle with and tried to realise where to come down on it. I

:08:48. > :08:52.think part of the problem as well is the evidence for the impact these

:08:53. > :08:55.would have is quite mixed. The picture from experts is quite mixed

:08:56. > :09:01.and so I would probably agree with you. I think they may end up sitting

:09:02. > :09:07.on the shelf. We may be reading them for quite awhile. Let's look the

:09:08. > :09:13.Daily Express. A pill to help us live to 120! This may slow the

:09:14. > :09:19.ageing process. Hands up, around this desk, who would want a pill

:09:20. > :09:25.like that? None of us! We all said the same thing, I don't want one of

:09:26. > :09:30.those. What is it supposed to do? They think this drug could wipe out

:09:31. > :09:34.diseases such as Alzheimer's, which would easily be a terrific-mac

:09:35. > :09:39.achievement in itself. The prospect of living to 120, with or without

:09:40. > :09:47.Alzheimer's, it does seem... A little bit beyond most people's

:09:48. > :09:53.ambition -- terrific. Nevertheless these trials have been going ahead

:09:54. > :09:55.by the American food and drugs administrations we could have the

:09:56. > :10:04.prospect of someone like Donald Trump living to 120... Perhaps we

:10:05. > :10:10.should be slightly more optimistic. I am flip-flopping! I guess the

:10:11. > :10:15.problem is that this society is not really geared up, probably most

:10:16. > :10:18.people would argue, even for the longevity a lot of people currently

:10:19. > :10:22.live to and it is all about quality of life and if we could kind of

:10:23. > :10:30.increase and perhaps change society to better treat older people, then

:10:31. > :10:34.perhaps people would be keener to live to 110, perhaps, but not 120.

:10:35. > :10:41.At some point we have to shuffle off to make way for the people being

:10:42. > :10:45.born, don't we! Of course. Goodness knows what the world population

:10:46. > :10:52.would soar to. I am not interested. I do not want one, thank you very

:10:53. > :10:57.much. Charlotte, adorable pictures of the baby princess taken by Kate.

:10:58. > :11:01.Do you like these pictures? I think they are very good pictures. It is

:11:02. > :11:04.extraordinary how much Charlotte looks like her brother which is very

:11:05. > :11:09.interesting. I also think they probably show her parents in quite a

:11:10. > :11:12.good light. They have decided not to release details about what she is

:11:13. > :11:19.wearing because they do not want to see any hype around Charlotte, as

:11:20. > :11:23.there is around Kate at the moment. Probably quite a sensible decision.

:11:24. > :11:31.I think she looks a bit like the Queen? I have not seen that just

:11:32. > :11:38.yet. I will have to study that, but, yes, perhaps. It could be a

:11:39. > :11:42.mini corgi she is playing with. It looks like a spaniel to me. It will

:11:43. > :11:51.be the toy of the year for under one-year-olds probably. Kate and

:11:52. > :11:57.Joel will be back at half past 11 for another look at the front pages.

:11:58. > :12:01.Stay with us on BBC news because British warplanes could be in the

:12:02. > :12:10.error within days if the Government moves ahead with the vote on it

:12:11. > :12:11.strikes. And that is a big if. And now on BBC news it is time for

:12:12. > :12:18.Click.
