:00:13. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:16. > :00:19.With me are Political Commentator Jo Phillips and Nigel Nelson, political

:00:20. > :00:25.editor of the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People.

:00:26. > :00:29.The Telegraph calls the Rio Games Britain's greatest

:00:30. > :00:37.The paper's main story is a crackdown on cosmetic surgeons

:00:38. > :00:42.who will be named and shamed for poor practice.

:00:43. > :00:45.The Observer leads with a call from the London Mayor

:00:46. > :00:47.to Labour Party members telling them to back Owen Smith

:00:48. > :00:53.Sadiq Khan says Jeremy Corbyn has been a disaster for the party.

:00:54. > :00:56.Nicola Adams's gold medal win is pictured

:00:57. > :01:02.The paper reports on warnings that Rio may be Team GB's last great

:01:03. > :01:05.games, if economic problems in the future force a cut in funding

:01:06. > :01:11.The Mail on Sunday says Theresa May has been dragged into a party

:01:12. > :01:14.scandal involving allegations of bullying.

:01:15. > :01:18.The Express hails a 'golden era' for British sport,

:01:19. > :01:20.alongside a picture of the gold-winning kayaker,

:01:21. > :01:24.And the Sunday Times says Theresa May will harness the spirit

:01:25. > :01:35.of Britain's Olympic "world beaters" to draw up a blueprint for Brexit.

:01:36. > :01:43.Let's get to the papers. Nigel, let's start with the Sunday

:01:44. > :01:49.Telegraph. They all sang it in different ways but the headline is,

:01:50. > :01:58."The greatest games". Hasn't it been? Splendid. Certainly when it

:01:59. > :02:07.started, I was a bit, Young, OK, I might watch a bit, it will be all

:02:08. > :02:13.right but wasn't to enthusiastic. -- yeah. Now we are thinking this is an

:02:14. > :02:19.extraordinary achievement. Mundy 20 and 12 was fantastic but just around

:02:20. > :02:23.the 12. -- London 2012. They beat China with a population of over a

:02:24. > :02:31.billion people. It has been fantastic. We saw at the women's

:02:32. > :02:38.hockey last night with prosciutto, fantastic. Nicola Adams, of course?

:02:39. > :02:44.You could almost feel her cheeks a king from the smiling. When you

:02:45. > :02:49.listen and see all these people, they are young, they have years

:02:50. > :02:53.ahead of them, hopefully, to carry on playing, running, boxing,

:02:54. > :03:00.swimming, sailing at the standard and the are so refreshing. The

:03:01. > :03:10.message is hard work, commitment, it's just brilliant. Write-up in the

:03:11. > :03:22.corner, US, 39 gold. Only two more to call and we equal London. London

:03:23. > :03:30.were 65 overall. No pressure Mo Farah, then. No pressure! That

:03:31. > :03:38.starts with the Golden games. They have a spin on it, the Times, D-Link

:03:39. > :03:46.issues. Two of the big stories of our age, how have they done that?

:03:47. > :03:51.With an awful of imagination. -- an awful lot.

:03:52. > :04:04.To reason they will harness the Olympic spirit for Brexit. An

:04:05. > :04:12.interview or a speech from Greg Clark, the business and energy

:04:13. > :04:17.Secretary, Nigel would disagree with me, I know. What they are basically

:04:18. > :04:21.saying is that we are going to use what has happened with funding of

:04:22. > :04:26.the Olympics which is basically targeting elite sport, the ones you

:04:27. > :04:32.know where you can win medals, we are going to use that for business.

:04:33. > :04:41.We have an opportunity to use the same approach. " No country has

:04:42. > :04:46.increased its medal tally after 1986". What they have done is by

:04:47. > :04:49.targeting funding. The underlying message is that the government is

:04:50. > :04:53.saying we are going to give resources, give a boost and support

:04:54. > :04:58.industries or businesses weather the other creative set, that gets a

:04:59. > :05:03.mention also, to high-tech industries. The underlying message

:05:04. > :05:14.is that that means they will be tough choices. Total rubbish. To be

:05:15. > :05:22.fair to Jo, she is quoting what the paper says. It reads like a speech.

:05:23. > :05:26.It is a clever way of a speech. Theresa May does something like it

:05:27. > :05:33.as had the view speech for Prime Minister next month. As Joe pointed

:05:34. > :05:37.out, we target excellence and that is the way to get through Brexit.

:05:38. > :05:42.The ID you can link together somebody doing the 400 metres with

:05:43. > :05:52.making spanners in a different part of the country, I don't think it

:05:53. > :05:58.works. -- the idea. There is something in it, too. Didn't we do

:05:59. > :06:03.well? There is something that we touched on the earlier about the

:06:04. > :06:07.sheer spirit of the people that have taken part in the Olympics. If what

:06:08. > :06:09.you are saying is let's get that same kind of spirit, the British

:06:10. > :06:14.spirit or whatever you want to call it, and really go out and make backs

:06:15. > :06:18.at a success, I would understand that. I don't get trying to make

:06:19. > :06:24.this specific link between certain industries and athletics. It's a

:06:25. > :06:31.problem that all it takes is basically pedestrian, isn't it

:06:32. > :06:44.question mark in its pace. You know, politics is showbiz for ugly people.

:06:45. > :06:52.It's pretty true. --? In the dull world of politics to somehow

:06:53. > :06:57.capture... The mood of the moment. There is that thing of how did they

:06:58. > :07:05.do that and why can't we inspire people? The reason is, frankly, Greg

:07:06. > :07:10.Clark has a long way to go before he is as exciting as Nicola Adams. I

:07:11. > :07:19.remember after London 2012, people say there had been no legacy. What

:07:20. > :07:22.has happened? This is the legacy. You can't not quote what has

:07:23. > :07:27.happened in the four years between. We don't see these people often

:07:28. > :07:32.during that time unless they have done an advert, they are training.

:07:33. > :07:39.They don't do that because of all the things that went into London

:07:40. > :07:45.2012 and from that. It is part of that legacy and Tokyo in 2020 will

:07:46. > :07:55.be the legacy of these games. Let's go to the Independent. Nigel, I

:07:56. > :07:58.think it is your time. This is pouring cold water on what has

:07:59. > :08:12.happened. Reintroducing them, the last great games of return. --

:08:13. > :08:18.Britain. -- Rio 2016. What she is saying is that these games are great

:08:19. > :08:24.and Tokyo 2020 might not be because of Brexit. How do we keep linking

:08:25. > :08:33.Brexit with the Olympics? How do she make the link? She doesn't. A fund

:08:34. > :08:36.came up for a elite sport. That fund has been threatened by Brexit so

:08:37. > :08:40.they won't be as much money around. I would say that as John Major, we

:08:41. > :08:44.have to thank for most of this because he started the lottery.

:08:45. > :08:49.Lottery money has gone into sport and allowed the kind of work that

:08:50. > :08:55.the athletes have been able to do to get them as good enough for London

:08:56. > :09:05.2012 and for Rio. Nicola Adams and the the amazing cyclist. They went

:09:06. > :09:09.even born, it really is a legacy. The story in the Independent is,

:09:10. > :09:13.again, stretching it. It is the mood of the moment, link it to absolutely

:09:14. > :09:17.everything. Lots of things are going to be fragile in their funding

:09:18. > :09:24.because of Brexit and because of the world economy. It's like, "Let's

:09:25. > :09:28.look at this now". Next week it might be something else. I think

:09:29. > :09:33.it's a bit off. It's not even over yet. Let them enjoy their moment in

:09:34. > :09:38.the sun. The parades and all those things. Let's go back to proper

:09:39. > :09:43.gritty politics. People giving each other proper kicking.

:09:44. > :09:51.The London mayor putting the proverbial boot into Jeremy Corbyn

:09:52. > :09:55.in a big way. Blair only two days after he was interviewed on the BBC

:09:56. > :10:07.and pressed and pressed again on whether he would support. -- only

:10:08. > :10:13.two days. It is a very, very damning attack on Jeremy Corbyn. He says he

:10:14. > :10:19.is a principled Labour man whose support has brought hope to many. He

:10:20. > :10:24.has been able to organise a successful team. He has lost the

:10:25. > :10:28.confidence of Labour MPs. Throughout the campaign, he has failed to show

:10:29. > :10:33.the leadership. That is the point. We are going back to Brexit now but

:10:34. > :10:41.in a very serious way. Is as that's what Jeremy Corbyn... Yahoo yes.

:10:42. > :10:50.-- yes. There was a problem all the way through. The truth is that

:10:51. > :10:59.labour voters were in favour of Romain, as far as we know. There was

:11:00. > :11:04.the third then of the remain that wondered if it was an official

:11:05. > :11:09.policy. -- remain. Next week the ballot papers go out so we have the

:11:10. > :11:16.voting process going on. I think there is an element of that they

:11:17. > :11:19.have to try one last chance of stopping Jeremy Corbyn being

:11:20. > :11:25.re-elected. At the moment, he looks the key is way ahead. There is no

:11:26. > :11:30.other chance. I think you will find there will be lots of major figures

:11:31. > :11:34.going out. -- he looks like he. To think there is another message to

:11:35. > :11:43.Jeremy Corbyn saying that they know and he is going to win but you can't

:11:44. > :11:48.leave the Labour Party to victory? What about earlier, Owen Smith

:11:49. > :11:51.doesn't make it, Jeremy Corbyn does, the Conservatives win decisively,

:11:52. > :11:58.this is what people are thinking in the Labour Party or Sadiq Khan. Then

:11:59. > :12:03.they will need a new leader. Sadiq Khan might be? Would you want a

:12:04. > :12:06.second term as London mayor would you want to rescue what is left of

:12:07. > :12:17.the Labour Party which, by then, webby very much. -- won't be. The

:12:18. > :12:25.government waters down drink warning. This is a fascinating

:12:26. > :12:32.turnaround. We are about to get new drink targets. Instead of 14 units

:12:33. > :12:40.for women being safe over a week, and 21 units for men, it will now be

:12:41. > :12:48.14 for both. However, it will be a soft message from Jeremy Hunt where

:12:49. > :12:51.he will be saying, "Watch it when you are drinking but it is actually

:12:52. > :12:55.not much more serious to have a few drinks than going out for a drive."

:12:56. > :13:00.Although, don't do that same together. But the actions you are

:13:01. > :13:05.carrying out, that's fine. It's tried to get away from the nanny

:13:06. > :13:11.state idea and yet still they want to put targets down without actually

:13:12. > :13:15.saying whether these targets are safe or... We have been told that we

:13:16. > :13:20.shouldn't drink ever at all, ever, ever, ever. Even looking at a bottle

:13:21. > :13:29.of wine was bad for you back then. This comes on the back of the

:13:30. > :13:31.childhood obesity and -- thing. If the government stepping back from

:13:32. > :13:35.the nanny state and telling people to be responsible? There is a

:13:36. > :13:42.difference between grown-ups drinking and children who can't

:13:43. > :13:46.often make the choice. There will be accused whatever they do, they will

:13:47. > :13:50.be accused of caving into the drinks lobby. -- they will. There is a

:13:51. > :13:58.change of mood. What you said nanny state.

:13:59. > :14:03.We shouldn't be finger wagging too much. Men are being told we have to

:14:04. > :14:15.come down. They feel like rigid targets. Does

:14:16. > :14:21.that mean 14 units a week is safe but 15 isn't? If you say to people,

:14:22. > :14:26.it depends on your metabolism and a variety of things, your physique,

:14:27. > :14:29.whether or not these things are safe or not, you should not have a

:14:30. > :14:33.target. If you are going to water down the nanny state, don't bother

:14:34. > :14:38.with a target either. It is really about common sense. This is the

:14:39. > :14:40.whole thing about public health. If you eat rubbish and don't exercise,

:14:41. > :14:44.you know... OK, that is it.
