:00:00. > :00:00.investigating a knife attack at Leytonstone underground station, are

:00:00. > :00:00.urging witnesses who filmed the incident on their mobile phones to

:00:00. > :00:09.elections suggest the far-right National Front party, led by Marine

:00:10. > :00:13.Le Pen, is leading in six of the 13 regions.

:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:18.bringing us tomorrow. With me are political commentator Lance Price

:00:19. > :00:21.and the author and journalist Matthew Green. Tomorrow's front

:00:22. > :01:17.Let's begin where we must begin, with the appalling weather

:01:18. > :01:20.conditions that have brought flooding to parts of the country

:01:21. > :01:25.that really didn't think they were going to have to go through it again

:01:26. > :01:30.just yet. Here is one of the local newspapers. A picture on the front

:01:31. > :01:36.of a rescue boat with a woman being led to safety with her dog. By few,

:01:37. > :01:40.in circumstances like this, so appalling for people to have to go

:01:41. > :01:47.few, the way everyone rallies around is moving at times. -- Matthew.

:01:48. > :01:50.Absolutely. It's refreshing to see a regional newspaper featured on the

:01:51. > :01:56.programme. It's rare we have that privilege. It's nice to see a

:01:57. > :02:00.positive headline. Heroes. They are emphasising the great work that is

:02:01. > :02:03.being done by the emergency services responding to the disaster with this

:02:04. > :02:08.striking image of this poor woman being dragged along in this dinghy

:02:09. > :02:13.by these rescue workers. You would normally see cars and there is one

:02:14. > :02:18.in a background in flood water. At the bottom, it says devastation as

:02:19. > :02:23.floods cause chaos again. These are supposed to be rare events and yet

:02:24. > :02:27.this part of the country, the north-west and the Scottish borders,

:02:28. > :02:31.seeing it too often. That's absolutely right hand inside the

:02:32. > :02:35.paper, as well as these stories about the way in which the

:02:36. > :02:38.communities are coming together, businesses are donating, individuals

:02:39. > :02:41.are donating to try to help those who have been caught up in it all,

:02:42. > :02:46.is this sense of disbelief they could be going through it all so

:02:47. > :02:52.quickly after the floods of five or six years ago. The other thing of

:02:53. > :02:57.course that must distress people locally, and many of them have

:02:58. > :03:01.problems with insurance payments. If you live somewhere where you have

:03:02. > :03:07.been flooded before, your payments go through the roof and if it comes

:03:08. > :03:09.round a second time, he might find yourself in difficulties. Very

:03:10. > :03:14.difficult to get renewed insurance if at all. On the Guardian, it says

:03:15. > :03:19.we never thought this could happen again. Victims of 2009 floods aghast

:03:20. > :03:23.at new devastation. New defences have been put in but not equipped to

:03:24. > :03:29.cope with this colossal amount of rainfall. Yeah. I suppose the

:03:30. > :03:34.question is do we look at this at the micro scale, what defences we

:03:35. > :03:38.are using, agricultural policy, we forest in except, or do we zoom out

:03:39. > :03:42.and think about what is going on in Paris at the moment with a climate

:03:43. > :03:49.conference? It is remarkably absent from any of the front pages. It's a

:03:50. > :03:54.big, too weak, UN summit which is determining our future policy on

:03:55. > :03:57.global warming. In some senses it's critical to the future of the human

:03:58. > :04:00.project. You would think they would be more excitement about it on the

:04:01. > :04:06.front pages every day, rather than just occasionally. Maybe so in the

:04:07. > :04:11.next couple of days. We can come back to this at 11:30pm. Staying

:04:12. > :04:19.with the Guardian, another story, police look at Isis influence on

:04:20. > :04:24.horrific tube attack. A stabbing, an appalling act of violence, that

:04:25. > :04:28.might surprise people that police are regarding it as a terrorist

:04:29. > :04:33.incident. Often when there has been an attack of this kind, we tend to

:04:34. > :04:37.know something about the perpetrator fairly quickly and are able to make

:04:38. > :04:40.an assessment whether it was indeed a terrorist related offence. We

:04:41. > :04:46.haven't had answers to this question so far today. It may be, of course,

:04:47. > :04:55.that this was just a troubled individual. And not part of any part

:04:56. > :04:58.-- conspiracy or related to Isis. Of course, the authorities have to

:04:59. > :05:02.assume the worst. They have to look to see if there is anything more

:05:03. > :05:08.serious behind it. As yet, there is no evidence of that. Though, the

:05:09. > :05:15.suspect was arrested for attempted murder and is in police custody but

:05:16. > :05:23.the Metro's headline, you ain't no Muslim, bruv, which is what was

:05:24. > :05:27.supposed to have been said to the suspect. I am sure lots of people

:05:28. > :05:30.have seen the clip where the attacker is being tasered by

:05:31. > :05:34.repeated shots from the police. He falls to the ground in this dramatic

:05:35. > :05:41.scene and someone shouts, you ain't no Muslim, bruv, from the sidelines.

:05:42. > :05:47.This has been trending on Twitter over the weekend. In a way, it sums

:05:48. > :05:52.up that spirit of defiance and the anger as well that onlookers were

:05:53. > :05:57.feeling. One of the stories were saying that someone was throwing

:05:58. > :06:02.bottles at him. They were not taking it passively. And all the

:06:03. > :06:07.condemnation. The story here is about Muslim leaders rallying around

:06:08. > :06:11.to condemn this individual, who is now a terrorism suspect. They

:06:12. > :06:19.denounced his actions. Moving on to the Express. Foreigners must now pay

:06:20. > :06:25.to use the NHS. I thought they were always meant to, for certain

:06:26. > :06:32.treatments, Matthew. With all of these funding stories, the challenge

:06:33. > :06:35.is to pass the wishful thinking and headline from the nitty-gritty of

:06:36. > :06:39.how much money is going to be raised. I'm not going to embark on

:06:40. > :06:45.that project on hair but that is the question we have to ask, isn't it?

:06:46. > :06:47.We don't have the inside story. There are obviously huge questions

:06:48. > :06:51.about the future of the NHS. Billions of pounds are going to be

:06:52. > :06:54.needed to keep it afloat in the coming years. I'm not sure these

:06:55. > :06:59.measures will make it. The headlines are quite misleading. The detail is

:07:00. > :07:07.much more complicated than that. It's not all foreigners. Anybody

:07:08. > :07:12.with an EU passport or from within the economic area is still entitled

:07:13. > :07:15.to free treatment. There is the question about what we are asking

:07:16. > :07:19.doctors and medical staff to do, whether or not they suddenly have to

:07:20. > :07:22.become the front line in determining whether people are entitled to free

:07:23. > :07:26.treatment or not and whether that should be part of their job. They

:07:27. > :07:31.might have to ask for a credit card. We clearly don't want to go

:07:32. > :07:38.down that road but nor do we want the time of GPs being wasted. Let's

:07:39. > :07:46.look at the FT for a couple of stories. Firstly, National Front set

:07:47. > :07:50.for an historic French result. The exit polls saying they are ahead in

:07:51. > :07:55.the first round of voting, admittedly, there is another round

:07:56. > :07:59.to come in six of the 13 regions. They are doing very well and some

:08:00. > :08:02.people will seek to interpret this as a reaction to Paris. I don't

:08:03. > :08:07.think it is necessary that at all. They've been on a steady rise in

:08:08. > :08:09.France for some time. If it is confirmed in the second round of

:08:10. > :08:13.voting, these would be Interestingly, we've got the

:08:14. > :08:22.National Front first and socialists of President Hollande

:08:23. > :08:30.were in has made it clear he is not

:08:31. > :08:33.interested in any pact which means that their chances of coming top of

:08:34. > :08:38.the poll in the second round of voting in a week's time is very

:08:39. > :08:42.high. The National Front have tried to link immigration with the risk of

:08:43. > :08:47.terrorism, haven't they, in recent times? That is very much the case,

:08:48. > :08:51.particularly in the wake of the attacks in Paris and the big

:08:52. > :08:54.question is, looking forward to the presidential election in 2017,

:08:55. > :09:01.whether this is a straw in the wind that shows Marine Le Pen could be a

:09:02. > :09:04.presidential contender. It is a remarkable change in their

:09:05. > :09:07.landscape. It's whether those regional results translate into a

:09:08. > :09:18.national level and from which they don't, as we've seen in our general

:09:19. > :09:23.election. Marine Le Pen has actually managed to reconfigure the image of

:09:24. > :09:28.the National Front in a way that right-wing parties in this country

:09:29. > :09:31.struggle to do. She has presented himself as a credible candidate.

:09:32. > :09:34.Whether they would be an anti-National Front packed in a

:09:35. > :09:38.presidential election is an interesting point. The other is that

:09:39. > :09:42.although the Socialist party are trailing in the low 20s in these

:09:43. > :09:46.results compared to the projections so far tonight, President

:09:47. > :09:50.Hollande's personal ratings are way above that, they are touching 50%

:09:51. > :09:55.after his strong reaction to what happened to Paris. He seems to have

:09:56. > :10:00.benefited personally, without having a knock-on effects to his party.

:10:01. > :10:04.It's a confusing business. Cameron moves to bypass lords of the other

:10:05. > :10:08.headline on the FT. The Prime Minister seeks to neuter the upper

:10:09. > :10:14.house. The Lords are causing the Prime Minister problems, when vague

:10:15. > :10:18.said we don't like your tax credit changes. It is perhaps not

:10:19. > :10:22.surprising that David Cameron would respond to that and the plan,

:10:23. > :10:26.according to the FT, is to essentially review the role of the

:10:27. > :10:29.peers in terms of what kind of veto powers they exercise of a certain

:10:30. > :10:36.types of legislation, so-called secondary legislation. You can see

:10:37. > :10:40.why they would want to do that. The Tories have 251 seats out of 822 in

:10:41. > :10:45.the Lords. If Labour and the Liberal Democrats get together, they

:10:46. > :10:53.outnumber them quite substantially. And they are not elected. For many,

:10:54. > :10:56.many decades, there was an in-built Conservative majority which

:10:57. > :11:03.frustrated governments of any other complexion. Cameron has got a

:11:04. > :11:07.problem. He can try to threaten to create lots of extra peers which no

:11:08. > :11:12.one believes he is going to do. If he goes round this route, the danger

:11:13. > :11:18.is that important stuff gets classified as secondary...

:11:19. > :11:25.Constitutionally, that's dodgy going forward. We will have a longer

:11:26. > :11:29.version at 11:30pm. Matthew and Lance will be back again. Coming up

:11:30. > :11:32.next, it is time for Click.
