:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:23.With me are the Daily Telegraph media commentator Neil Midgley
:00:24. > :00:31.and columnist at the London Evening Standard Rosamund Urwin.
:00:32. > :00:35.Tomorrow's front pages? The Metro leads on Team GB's heroes
:00:36. > :00:39.who achieved the country's best ever overseas Games in Rio -
:00:40. > :00:43.claiming the country is now an 'Olympic Superpower'.
:00:44. > :00:46.The Guardian bids a fond farewell to Rio after 17 days
:00:47. > :00:53.Its main story accuses the NHS in England of a 'disgraceful' lack
:00:54. > :00:59.of diversity with white men in the majority of top jobs.
:01:00. > :01:02.Mo Farah's joyful leap is pictured in the Mail with speculation that
:01:03. > :01:05.many of Team GB's sporting stars will be rewarded
:01:06. > :01:12.Britain Will Keep Booming says the Express -
:01:13. > :01:17.coupled with a positive story about the post Brexit economy.
:01:18. > :01:19.In contrast - a sharp fall in spending on big
:01:20. > :01:27.The paper says new Prime Minister Theresa May is not acting
:01:28. > :01:34.quickly enough to rebuild the economy following Brexit.
:01:35. > :01:48.Good evening. Where are we starting? With the Metro. That fantastic
:01:49. > :01:55.picture montage of our Great British Olympians. It is a double page
:01:56. > :02:02.spread, a wraparound, the actual front page, I have to say, has a
:02:03. > :02:12.preponderance of male faces. Poor old Nicola Adams is the only woman.
:02:13. > :02:15.There is another. The female achievements at these Olympics have
:02:16. > :02:23.been brilliant. Laura Trott is there. And the woman's hockey team,
:02:24. > :02:30.where they pool that victory from one Friday night... Nobody knows!
:02:31. > :02:36.And the flagbearer tonight. What did you think? It has been a fantastic
:02:37. > :02:42.two weeks, I always like watching the sports you know nothing about
:02:43. > :02:45.and for me, Jade Jones is here, she won the gold medal in tae kwon do
:02:46. > :02:50.and I do not understand that sport but she is phenomenal to watch. Just
:02:51. > :02:57.delightful. And she admits that after 2012, she really did struggle
:02:58. > :03:01.a little bit for that first year with formal, suddenly being in the
:03:02. > :03:06.spotlight and then to go back and knuckle down and work so hard and
:03:07. > :03:12.come back and win, I think that is phenomenal and I really enjoyed Joe
:03:13. > :03:16.Clarke, in the kayak, the canoe slalom, that is fascinating to
:03:17. > :03:22.watch! I don't understand that but they are brilliant! And Britain are
:03:23. > :03:33.global power in gymnastics! Nobody would have thought, for a while Max
:03:34. > :03:40.Whitlock was the highest scoring non-American athlete at the Olympic
:03:41. > :03:46.Games until Usain Bolt started running and for him... While BBC One
:03:47. > :03:50.was broadcasting Countryfile! And he was winning his first gold medal!
:03:51. > :03:58.The coverage has not moved over from BBC Two at that point last Sunday
:03:59. > :04:02.night! And obviously, Amy Tinkler? The 16-year-old winning bronze on
:04:03. > :04:09.the floor. And she will be fantastic to watch in four years. Such talent
:04:10. > :04:14.coming through the ranks. If you look at Andy Murray, brilliant and
:04:15. > :04:18.he defended his gold and more power to him but we don't have that bench
:04:19. > :04:23.in tennis whereas on the other sports like gymnastics and something
:04:24. > :04:28.and ruling, we have a lot of talent coming through. Did you catch the
:04:29. > :04:37.boxing? Some very unhappy people with that result? I did watch it. I
:04:38. > :04:41.don't understand why people want to punch each other as a sport! I did
:04:42. > :04:47.watch that through my hands and, to me, as a complete non-boxing expert,
:04:48. > :04:52.our boy did seem to land more punches than the other fellow. I am
:04:53. > :05:05.very much looking forward to the closing ceremony. The shoes will be
:05:06. > :05:13.lit up, Team GB, their shoes. OK, it is great news, second, there is the
:05:14. > :05:18.record they have matched? Since 1908. The last time they were at the
:05:19. > :05:24.top, London 1908. The highest medal tally in terms of sheer number of
:05:25. > :05:28.medals, having eclipsed London 2012 and beating the Chinese, which
:05:29. > :05:32.nobody would ever have expected, least of all the Chinese and I'm
:05:33. > :05:35.sure there will be some very high-level discussions in Beijing
:05:36. > :05:40.about how they can regain that crime. Good news according to the
:05:41. > :05:47.daily express foreigners in Britain. More good news! Yes, the Brexit
:05:48. > :05:52.supporting daily Express says that despite Brexit, Britain will keep
:05:53. > :05:56.booming! How do we know this? There was a survey allegedly of the
:05:57. > :06:00.financial industry issued tonight indicating that bosses are broadly
:06:01. > :06:05.competent and weathering the post Brexit storm and that is all there
:06:06. > :06:10.is on the front page. No detail or any figures who was involved in
:06:11. > :06:15.this. Obviously, there are conflicting indicators coming out at
:06:16. > :06:19.the moment, the jobless figures and retail sales were pretty good and
:06:20. > :06:24.there is a story on the front page of the FT tonight saying
:06:25. > :06:29.infrastructure contracts are down by 23% in July. Year-on-year. So
:06:30. > :06:34.clearly it is still too early to tell. We will not have a clear
:06:35. > :06:40.picture until we get the ONS figures, which are coming out in
:06:41. > :06:43.October. Quite a long way. And August is not necessarily the
:06:44. > :06:49.greatest time to make these judgments either. It is really
:06:50. > :06:53.encouraging that jobless figures did not go through the roof and retail
:06:54. > :06:56.sales did not go through the floor at the same time. You would expect
:06:57. > :07:00.heads of companies to put a positive spin on things because they do not
:07:01. > :07:06.really want to talk down and lower morale? Quite, you do not want to
:07:07. > :07:10.knock confidence when your business relies on consumer confidence, you
:07:11. > :07:15.would expect them to talk this up a little bit but I think this is the
:07:16. > :07:19.express with its own agenda and I might be inclined to read that story
:07:20. > :07:25.in the FT and put more emphasis on that. We will hopefully get that for
:07:26. > :07:28.the next paper. At 11:30pm. Meanwhile, the Guardian, we have two
:07:29. > :07:34.stories from the front page. Which is the first one? The lead is
:07:35. > :07:41.talking about the people at the top of the NHS, those running the NHS
:07:42. > :07:45.Trusts and they say how appalling the lack of diversity there is,
:07:46. > :07:51.coming from a Freedom of Information request that it has done. All about
:07:52. > :07:56.how people, despite a big diversity drive and the NHS has a diverse
:07:57. > :08:05.workforce lower down, absolutely, a huge number of languages spoken, but
:08:06. > :08:08.at the top it is not. The point is that people are appointing in their
:08:09. > :08:12.own image and it is run by white men and that has been perpetuated,
:08:13. > :08:17.despite an attempt to change that. You can see that this, these are
:08:18. > :08:21.people making the spending decisions and that means that you really have
:08:22. > :08:25.to think this is somewhere we do need diversity. It seems even more
:08:26. > :08:30.important than all the other things. I do a lot of work on getting more
:08:31. > :08:34.women running FTSE 100 companies, more diversity that way, but there
:08:35. > :08:42.seems even more important to me. Only 2% of NHS Trusts are chaired by
:08:43. > :08:45.people from a black or ethnic minority background compared to 12%
:08:46. > :08:52.of the population at large. This could be said of most companies, to
:08:53. > :09:00.be honest. The BBC has the same criticism. I read stories like this
:09:01. > :09:10.and I think, well, OK, show me the solution? The BBC is ?4 billion
:09:11. > :09:14.every year, the NHS is ?130 billion. You can have a short list that has
:09:15. > :09:18.to include a diverse range of candidates, that is not forcing them
:09:19. > :09:23.to appoint them but at least say there is this candidate and put the
:09:24. > :09:27.name forward rather than just having people thinking, maybe I play golf
:09:28. > :09:32.with him whatever it is, we cannot have those things still having some
:09:33. > :09:38.effect. More people thinking he is a lot like me, when it comes to
:09:39. > :09:42.interviews. Some employers are recruiting with skills interview
:09:43. > :09:46.conducted by people from high up the company and then the values
:09:47. > :09:53.interview by peers at the same level as the position to be appointed,
:09:54. > :09:56.which does not necessarily go to the colour of the person's skin or
:09:57. > :10:03.gender. Do you both believe in short lists? I think it helps. What
:10:04. > :10:08.happens at the moment is we hear these phrases and platitudes rolled
:10:09. > :10:13.out, we must get more diversity, and the obvious steps that you can take
:10:14. > :10:21.to make more of change, they do not happen. OK. Final story... I will
:10:22. > :10:28.quickly glanced down. Where is this? What is this about? Students,
:10:29. > :10:34.illegible ink leaves GCSE markers feeling blue. People who mark GCSEs
:10:35. > :10:39.apparently do not get walloping great envelopes full of papers by
:10:40. > :10:47.secure delivery. All other papers are scanned into an and they get a
:10:48. > :10:53.PDF. If you are a student and you have written your GCSE answers in
:10:54. > :10:57.light green or light blue ink, then the marker cannot necessarily
:10:58. > :11:02.decipher them and they cannot turn the PDF towards the light, as they
:11:03. > :11:06.could with paper. It does say on the front, big letters, right in black
:11:07. > :11:11.ink! And you would hope that teachers would tell the students
:11:12. > :11:17.that. That is fundamental. You will be failed instantly for not reading
:11:18. > :11:23.the instructions! And they give out pens! Just give out black pens! GCSE
:11:24. > :11:25.results, Thursday? Yes. Thank you, Neil Midgley
:11:26. > :11:29.and Rosamund Urwin -- you'll both be back at 11.30pm
:11:30. > :11:33.for another look at the stories
