:00:17. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:19. > :00:25.With me are Caroline Wheeler, political editor of the Sunday
:00:26. > :00:28.Express, and Tom McTague, political editor of the Independent on Sunday.
:00:29. > :00:37.The Sunday Express leads with Storm Desmond and reports it has claimed
:00:38. > :00:40.its first victim in London, a 90-year-old pensioner who reportedly
:00:41. > :00:46.died after the gale force winds blew him into the side of a moving bus.
:00:47. > :00:54.The Observer says the shadow cabinet is bracing itself for what MPs are
:00:55. > :00:59.calling a "revenge reshuffle", following Labour's victory in the
:01:00. > :01:03.The Independent on Sunday also carries the claims,
:01:04. > :01:06.adding plans are afoot to sack the chief whip.
:01:07. > :01:08.The Sunday Telegraph reports senior members of
:01:09. > :01:11.the Conservatives are threatening to resign IF plans to build a third
:01:12. > :01:15.The Mail on Sunday carries allegations that NHS chiefs tried to
:01:16. > :01:18.destroy evidence, which reportedly proves that hospital staff failed to
:01:19. > :01:20.spot and treat an infection that resulted in the
:01:21. > :01:34.Let's begin. The Sunday express. Killer storm. It has unfortunately
:01:35. > :01:42.taken on life. This has been developing story over the days. It
:01:43. > :01:46.didn't even feature on our news list this morning. And yet by this
:01:47. > :01:53.afternoon we see that one pensioner, who was sadly blown into the course
:01:54. > :01:59.of a bus, has been killed. There are thousands of people without power.
:02:00. > :02:04.85 mph winds battering Britain. You can see, in that dramatic picture,
:02:05. > :02:09.several areas of the north-west are underwater. Pictures of Appleby. We
:02:10. > :02:13.know places like Cockermouth and Carlisle were expecting flood levels
:02:14. > :02:18.to rise. We haven't seen this kind of devastation for a while. It is
:02:19. > :02:23.reminiscent of what happened before Christmas, in 2013, when the West
:02:24. > :02:28.Country was badly hit. It will be interesting to see how this develops
:02:29. > :02:32.over the coming hours. Mentioning earlier storms, memories of that go
:02:33. > :02:40.back to a specially to bowser nine, when it was really serious. -- 2009.
:02:41. > :02:43.This could be worse? Yes, this can rush to the top of the news list
:02:44. > :02:49.within hours. We won't talking about this yesterday, and now, rightfully,
:02:50. > :02:53.it is at the top of the news list. Indeed. Your newspaper, the
:02:54. > :02:59.independent on Sunday, has a great picture. I wouldn't want to be there
:03:00. > :03:06.at the time. Where is that? That's in South Wales. But this has
:03:07. > :03:12.affected everywhere. I think it is mostly in the north, the north-west
:03:13. > :03:20.and north-east, but it has hit South Wales, the south-west, London. And
:03:21. > :03:23.it is coming this way. One of the problems is that the ground has
:03:24. > :03:28.already been quite saturated, which has meant the floodwaters have risen
:03:29. > :03:35.very quickly. So obviously it's a wait and see situation. But 44 of
:03:36. > :03:40.the highest flood risk alerts being given and more than 200 in total. So
:03:41. > :03:46.it gives the scale of the widespread potential for devastation here.
:03:47. > :03:52.Indeed. People are always interested in these weather stories. Moving on.
:03:53. > :03:55.Your name appears on the front page of your newspaper, which is nice,
:03:56. > :04:01.because you've got a special report a couple of pages inside. But the
:04:02. > :04:07.front page says it well. Hitting back at Jeremy Corbyn smears. What
:04:08. > :04:13.is this about? This is Jeremy Corbyn on the front foot for the first time
:04:14. > :04:17.in a few weeks, following the by-election in Oldham, which was a
:04:18. > :04:21.surprise win for the Labour leader. It has allowed him to start to fight
:04:22. > :04:27.back against Labour moderates, who have been really giving him a hard
:04:28. > :04:33.time, ever since he was elected, really. We've been hearing in
:04:34. > :04:38.Westminster at out rumours about his health. Rumours that leader passed
:04:39. > :04:45.out dismissed as categorically untrue. Who is spreading that kind
:04:46. > :04:52.of rumour? According to the Labour leader, this is just be the MPs who
:04:53. > :04:57.don't want to see him succeed and he says it is absolutely untrue and if
:04:58. > :05:02.you're going to fight him, fight him on the issues that he won the
:05:03. > :05:05.leadership for. But, as you say, fighting back, possible plans to
:05:06. > :05:10.sack the chief whip and reshuffle the cabinet. You set the chief whip
:05:11. > :05:14.is one of his allies and got things sorted out for him in the early
:05:15. > :05:22.stages. Why now turned his sacking? Jeremy Corbyn's allies see the chief
:05:23. > :05:30.whip, Rosie Winterton, as a figure to stabilise things at the start of
:05:31. > :05:36.Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. Now she is seen as somebody who is an old
:05:37. > :05:43.guard, someone who is out to represent other moderate MPs and not
:05:44. > :05:48.the leader. This is going to rattle along. It looks as though they would
:05:49. > :05:51.like to see, I say they, the top of the leadership, especially Mr Corbyn
:05:52. > :05:55.and his deputy or the Shadow Chancellor, would like to see some
:05:56. > :05:58.of these moderates pushed out. What if they push them out, are there
:05:59. > :06:04.others around of sufficient calibre to take their place? That's the
:06:05. > :06:07.question. At the time, some of us were surprised as there were many
:06:08. > :06:11.rumours about the types of people who could have formed part of his
:06:12. > :06:15.shadow cabinet and actually he didn't make extensive changes and
:06:16. > :06:20.still included some of those, what would be regarded as the old guard.
:06:21. > :06:24.Now if he is going to push some of those out of the cabinet you have to
:06:25. > :06:30.wonder who will be brought in. And does he have enough allies? With all
:06:31. > :06:38.written stories to suggest there are only 16, 17, 18 members of the
:06:39. > :06:42.Labour Party who are Jeremy Corbyn supporters and that's not enough to
:06:43. > :06:46.fill a shadow cabinet. The Observer talks about a revenge reshuffle. I
:06:47. > :06:54.don't wear that comes from. And the Shadow Chancellor says back the new
:06:55. > :06:58.politics or get out of the way. -- where that comes from. This will be
:06:59. > :07:03.a heck of a story for quite a time to come. Definitely. He's got a bit
:07:04. > :07:06.of a problem because there are two stories that will rumble. The
:07:07. > :07:08.moderates will continue to brief against him and we have seen more
:07:09. > :07:12.revelations about this bullying that's been going on with Simon
:07:13. > :07:17.Danczuk coming out and saying he has been targeted on Twitter and
:07:18. > :07:20.threatened with death threats. And there will be a public meeting
:07:21. > :07:25.tomorrow, where they will have to face critics. You've got that story
:07:26. > :07:30.from that side of the party. The other side is that after the Oldham
:07:31. > :07:35.by-election, which was a staggering victory in some senses for Jeremy
:07:36. > :07:39.Corbyn, because UKIP have very much suggested they could cut the
:07:40. > :07:45.majority in half, or even win it, which was unbelievable. You've now
:07:46. > :07:49.got a Jeremy Corbyn who is thinking that he could start to stamp his
:07:50. > :07:53.authority on the party. But it will be interesting to see how he does
:07:54. > :07:58.that. If he then tries to purge the moderates, he will face the same
:07:59. > :08:03.accusations, that he is trying to purge his critics from the party. It
:08:04. > :08:07.will be interesting. Moving on. Still on the front page of the
:08:08. > :08:13.Observer. Fresh bombing raids hit Syrian oilfields. Tell us what this
:08:14. > :08:22.says. This is an interesting take from the Observer, who report on the
:08:23. > :08:28.second RAF sortie over Syria in I think three or four days, since the
:08:29. > :08:33.vote. They also mentioned that the RAF could be dragged into Libya,
:08:34. > :08:37.where ISIS fighters are now said to be in control of large parts of the
:08:38. > :08:43.country. That raises the prospect that they could even be dragged into
:08:44. > :08:47.Afghanistan, where we saw this week that they are now trying to take
:08:48. > :08:53.over... That was in the Times, yesterday, I think it was. We have
:08:54. > :08:57.the Defence Secretary over there in Cyprus talking to the RAF crews and
:08:58. > :09:01.so on, saying it won't be short or simple, what they're doing. That's
:09:02. > :09:06.one of the understatement of the week. Yes and part of this is about
:09:07. > :09:11.managing expectations and making it very clear to the general public
:09:12. > :09:15.that this isn't going to be a short war, this will be long. It will be
:09:16. > :09:19.messy. There is a suggestion that we could be dragged into Libya. They
:09:20. > :09:22.say there have already been reconnaissance missions by the
:09:23. > :09:28.French, looking into this issue. But I think Michael Fallon, he is just
:09:29. > :09:32.the signalling and warning that we shouldn't expect results
:09:33. > :09:35.immediately. But one of the other things we understand, we've got one
:09:36. > :09:43.of our report is out there at the moment, our defence editor. In
:09:44. > :09:45.Cyprus. Yes. They say that even though they have been targeting
:09:46. > :09:51.oilfields, there's now a sense that they will target some the leaders of
:09:52. > :09:55.Daesh and Islamic State. -- or Islamic State. So, this could be
:09:56. > :09:59.another step in a campaign. The front page of the Sunday Telegraph.
:10:00. > :10:05.Tories at war over Heathrow expansion. Now, here we go. It is
:10:06. > :10:09.either Heathrow or Gatwick or maybe some else. Many people threatening
:10:10. > :10:16.to resign on the conservative side. That's right. We've seen the crisis
:10:17. > :10:19.in the Labour Party to what we see as a crisis over Heathrow in the
:10:20. > :10:26.Conservative party. This has been coming for a while, we anticipated
:10:27. > :10:29.it would be made last week... It is now up to the government to say
:10:30. > :10:32.whether it is Heathrow or not. That's right. We were briefed
:10:33. > :10:35.earlier that we thought the decision would be made this coming week,
:10:36. > :10:39.although now they say it could be delayed further. Interestingly,
:10:40. > :10:43.there are some influential politicians who live under the
:10:44. > :10:48.flight path who are not especially happy about it. The likes of Boris
:10:49. > :10:52.Johnson, the development secretary and others. So, what this story
:10:53. > :11:00.seems to be saying is they suggest that if this does go ahead they will
:11:01. > :11:03.resign. They've been put into a difficult position, because Cameron
:11:04. > :11:07.said before there would be no Heathrow expansion. Obviously be
:11:08. > :11:10.independent report coming out and suggesting expansion is the best
:11:11. > :11:14.thing to do has put them in a tricky position. Where do we go from here?
:11:15. > :11:18.We keep being told they will have to be a decision. Presumably it could
:11:19. > :11:25.be put off as long as politicians want it to be? I think it could be a
:11:26. > :11:30.complete fudge. How do you fudge it? You put in place legal barriers, or
:11:31. > :11:36.a tight restrictions that Heathrow would have to pass, to be granted
:11:37. > :11:44.the third runway. So you set impossible targets? That will be
:11:45. > :11:50.pushed into the long grass until George Osborne comes along and
:11:51. > :11:54.decide he will stamp the authority. They could already seek judicial
:11:55. > :11:57.review. Some suggest it will be delayed any way for a couple of
:11:58. > :12:01.years, some say decades before we get a decision on this. So,
:12:02. > :12:09.nobody's career will be imminently over. David Cameron will be long
:12:10. > :12:14.gone, I think. Still with us, I'm sure, just as Prime Minister. Well,
:12:15. > :12:17.thank you very much. Very nice to see you both.
