:00:00. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:23.With me are the broadcaster Edward Adoo and journalist

:00:24. > :00:26.and features writer for the Independent, James Rampton.

:00:27. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:29. > :00:31.The Financial Times leads on the ?11 billion, 13 billion euros

:00:32. > :00:42.Brussels has ordered Apple to pay in back-taxes.

:00:43. > :00:58.The Metro has done the sums saying they effectively paid 0.0.5% tax in

:00:59. > :01:00.a sweetheart deal with the Irish government.

:01:01. > :01:03.According to the Daily Telegraph, Labour plans an "expenses

:01:04. > :01:04.free-for-all" following calls by one of its senior figures

:01:05. > :01:07.to replace expenses with an allowance for MPs instead.

:01:08. > :01:10.More on Apple in the Guardian - it leads on the multinational's

:01:11. > :01:12.warnings that investments and jobs are on the line following

:01:13. > :01:15.The Daily Express reports that the Prime Minister has ruled

:01:16. > :01:19.out holding a second referendum on any Brexit deal her government

:01:20. > :01:33.Junior doctors are planning five-day strikes to the end of the year. Ed

:01:34. > :01:37.Balls is on the front page of the male ahead of his Strictly Come

:01:38. > :01:45.Dancing appearance. The Times thinks Jeremy Corbyn is on course to win

:01:46. > :01:56.with an even bigger mandate. The Metro, Fiori at Apple's tax. ?5 for

:01:57. > :02:02.every million quid. ?50 for every million, so to a lot of people who

:02:03. > :02:06.work hard and pay their taxes, they will be in disbelief thinking, how

:02:07. > :02:13.were Apple able to get away with this. So they have been told to pay

:02:14. > :02:19.?11 billion. How long has this deal been going on for? Will it ever

:02:20. > :02:27.happen? The Irish government have said that. They have said they don't

:02:28. > :02:32.agree with the actual deal and both Apple and the Irish government are

:02:33. > :02:40.appealing against it. They could go on for a long time, to try and

:02:41. > :02:45.resolve it. The competition commissioner, the Danish competition

:02:46. > :02:51.commissioner, I am going to call it. Very wise, I was struggling with her

:02:52. > :02:59.name also. I wonder if she has a Apple handset or an iPad. It is

:03:00. > :03:06.going to be blocked now. Exactly. Whether this goes ahead now, it is

:03:07. > :03:13.like being given a lottery ticket, a poisonous chalice. You accept it, or

:03:14. > :03:18.you don't take it. The bottom line, James is, Apple have been told they

:03:19. > :03:24.have got to pay back taxes that comes to ?11 billion. They are

:03:25. > :03:29.suggesting this could hurt investment in Europe? I do think it

:03:30. > :03:35.is a threat. There is a veiled threat in what Apple have said and

:03:36. > :03:41.the US government who back them up. They say if they forced to pay this

:03:42. > :03:44.bill, what does that mean for the future corporations, many of whom

:03:45. > :03:54.are headquartered in Ireland, with its favourable corporation tax deal.

:03:55. > :04:04.The Danish competition Commissioner said it might tax bill fell but far,

:04:05. > :04:09.I would think I had to take a second look at my tax bill. If we had

:04:10. > :04:15.favourable tax rates, we would be jumping up and down for joy. Any CEO

:04:16. > :04:21.of a company would say it is a devastating blow. I watched a

:04:22. > :04:26.report, I think it was a news piece earlier on people who asked is a

:04:27. > :04:33.good or bad. A lot of people said, how long has this been going on for,

:04:34. > :04:37.why was it happening? The concern is if the Irish government accept and

:04:38. > :04:40.take the money, will Apple leave and go elsewhere? If they leave, will

:04:41. > :04:47.other companies follow suit and do the same thing as well? Also the

:04:48. > :04:53.Irish economy with the euro in a bad state a couple of years ago. I

:04:54. > :04:58.remember family friends and other people saying, we will leave because

:04:59. > :05:01.the economy is unstable. By having these companies in Ireland is

:05:02. > :05:05.beneficial for the economy. I think this could open a whole different

:05:06. > :05:09.can of worms. That certainly will be the Irish government's argument, as

:05:10. > :05:17.part of its attempts to get this decision overturned. James,

:05:18. > :05:22.Brussels, 13 billion euros tax bill clears the way for further

:05:23. > :05:25.crackdowns on Apple. 13 billion in respect of what George Osborne

:05:26. > :05:32.managed to get out of Facebook recently? Yes. Are we going to see

:05:33. > :05:39.other countries across Europe tried to claw money back from some of

:05:40. > :05:43.these tech companies? Well, she has thrown down the gauntlet and saying

:05:44. > :05:49.this should be a challenge for other countries to try and get back some

:05:50. > :05:54.of that money. This was a huge amount of money, 13 billion euros is

:05:55. > :06:00.in fact the total budget for the Irish health service every year. So

:06:01. > :06:02.it shows how tall they are, they are challenging this, because they are

:06:03. > :06:07.prepared to forego this money, rip up this winning lottery ticket, in

:06:08. > :06:13.order to appease other corporations, to say to them, we are your friends

:06:14. > :06:19.and we are favourable tax shelter for you, so we will reject the money

:06:20. > :06:23.in order to encourage other businesses here and not frighten

:06:24. > :06:29.them up. One assumes they are getting more than 13 billion in the

:06:30. > :06:37.kinds of business and job creation, whatever from different companies

:06:38. > :06:41.benefiting from this low tax regime. Huge corporations are based there

:06:42. > :06:49.with turnovers Biggers than most nations. They are headquartered in

:06:50. > :06:55.Ireland. It is an economy that was struggling and the Celtic Tiger was

:06:56. > :07:03.on death's door a few years ago. It has come back from the dead and this

:07:04. > :07:09.would threaten it, if Apple withdrew and it had a domino effect. It would

:07:10. > :07:14.be catastrophic. Let's move on to the Telegraph. Labour plan expenses

:07:15. > :07:18.free for all? The Parliamentary expenses should be scrapped and MPs

:07:19. > :07:25.should be trusted with an allowance, that is what has been put forward. A

:07:26. > :07:28.senior ally of Jeremy Corbyn has said the Parliamentary watchdog was

:07:29. > :07:34.a bureaucratic ornament. The whole deal here is MPs, the expenses

:07:35. > :07:40.should be placed in their bank accounts without us knowing about

:07:41. > :07:46.it. We have had an issue about the expenses, it has caused a lot of

:07:47. > :07:52.issues, why should this happen? It sounds dodgy in every aspect. They

:07:53. > :07:59.get a fixed allowance rather than putting receipts through the claims?

:08:00. > :08:05.Yes, like a lot of TV companies give allowances to their employees. Not

:08:06. > :08:13.free money technically, but placed into their bank account. It would

:08:14. > :08:17.also be deductible against tax as an expense. Paul Flynn, this man

:08:18. > :08:23.suggesting this, it that he hasn't been made policy, had to pay back

:08:24. > :08:26.?2000 after the last scandal. Another MP says it shows how

:08:27. > :08:31.completely detached from reality Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is. How

:08:32. > :08:36.many people out there would be saying I would love all this money

:08:37. > :08:41.every week without having to submit claims. We all had to submit claims.

:08:42. > :08:47.Several people went to jail after this scandal. It seems idiotic and

:08:48. > :08:52.totally detached from reality. At the end of the day, the man or woman

:08:53. > :08:56.on the street, who works hard and pay their taxes, if they went down

:08:57. > :09:01.this route or try to think of considering this option, why has

:09:02. > :09:07.this been put on the table? It does seem like an odd thing to do. But I

:09:08. > :09:10.suppose the argument would be the bureaucracy involved in dealing with

:09:11. > :09:16.receipts, accounts and people having to put their expenses in, have a

:09:17. > :09:24.flat rate. We all have to do it. Trust me, we have to do it here at

:09:25. > :09:29.the BBC. It is like they are saying we are special, different from other

:09:30. > :09:33.people. He would argue this would save money, which is the whole point

:09:34. > :09:36.of the exercise. The New York billionaire heiress who was found

:09:37. > :09:48.guilty of tax fraud a few years ago who said, taxes are for the little

:09:49. > :09:54.people. You should just be given the expenses. The despite many others

:09:55. > :10:04.went to jail a few years ago, it seems ridiculous. Staying with the

:10:05. > :10:12.Telegraph, about churches. Yes, after what took place in France,

:10:13. > :10:16.churches should have bouncers. The church is a place where many people

:10:17. > :10:24.go to worship, get away from the outside world. But my mum is a

:10:25. > :10:31.devout Catholic, I couldn't imagine her having to speak to a bouncer in

:10:32. > :10:35.order to get in. There has been a 12 page guidance by Nick Tolson, who

:10:36. > :10:41.advises the Home Office. This has been put through. Is this for

:10:42. > :10:47.Catholic churches? All churches, I just cited my mum as an example. My

:10:48. > :10:54.concern here is, churches are places of worship. If you start putting

:10:55. > :10:58.bouncers in churches, by the police getting involved, a lot of

:10:59. > :11:01.anarchists will be saying, it is turning society into a police state,

:11:02. > :11:09.where you don't have the freedom to go to a place of worship. It is a

:11:10. > :11:14.bit scary. James, it defeats the whole idea of church being open to

:11:15. > :11:20.everybody? Yes, we have freedom to worship, that is one of the things

:11:21. > :11:24.enshrined in our whole DNA. It is almost laughable, this idea of

:11:25. > :11:30.bouncers standing on the door, you're not coming in, you are

:11:31. > :11:36.wearing trainers. You have the wrong suit. If your name isn't on the

:11:37. > :11:42.list... If your name isn't Joseph or Mary, you are not coming in.

:11:43. > :11:49.Junior doctors, five-day strikes, plotting, not planning, plotting.

:11:50. > :11:54.What a surprise it is in the Daily Mail. Saying hospitals will be

:11:55. > :12:04.overstretched and strikers might forfeit any other remaining public

:12:05. > :12:08.sympathy. They would take place between eight in the morning and

:12:09. > :12:12.five in the afternoon. You have got to think of operations, most

:12:13. > :12:18.important issues, cases which need to be looked into. Would they ever

:12:19. > :12:25.get done? What will the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, what will he

:12:26. > :12:32.do? I think next year we may see Jeremy Hunt on Strictly Come Dancing

:12:33. > :12:39.with Ed Balls. He is on the front page of the Daily Mail. I am going

:12:40. > :12:44.to take some bets on that. What have we got here, patient is ten times

:12:45. > :12:50.more likely to die in cancer lottery? It is the postcode lottery

:12:51. > :12:55.again. Certain areas who are not using cancer treatments correctly or

:12:56. > :13:00.quickly enough. As this headline says, in those areas, you are ten

:13:01. > :13:05.times more likely to die. It is particularly upsetting his thing, my

:13:06. > :13:10.relative, my mum, my dad, my granny could have been saved if they have

:13:11. > :13:15.the correct treatment at the correct time. It is a complete lottery and

:13:16. > :13:20.something the NHS must address as this report says by Public Health

:13:21. > :13:24.England, as a matter of urgency. 19 trusts have been told to review

:13:25. > :13:31.their cancer treatment as a matter of urgency. 12, it is not OK, but 19

:13:32. > :13:34.trusts, it is worrying. It is something that touches us all.

:13:35. > :13:40.Nobody in this country doesn't know somebody who has had cancer and

:13:41. > :13:46.often it is a close relative. It is a very emotive thing. If you feel

:13:47. > :13:51.the NHS has not got it under control, it is a bad reflection on

:13:52. > :13:55.the NHS. An institution we all love, but it has to get control over this

:13:56. > :13:59.because it impacts seminary lives. The big talking point that some

:14:00. > :14:05.people, as cricket fans... Lots of people out there who aren't cricket

:14:06. > :14:11.fans. I played cricket once in my life. Alex Hales and the England

:14:12. > :14:18.team have smashed, completely smashed a world record. 444 in a

:14:19. > :14:22.one-day limited over again. Most astonishing of all, Alex Hales has

:14:23. > :14:31.had a terrible Test series and his place was under threat. He has

:14:32. > :14:37.completely battered the Pakistanis almost single-handedly. They speak

:14:38. > :14:43.the score by Sri Lanka in 2006. But it was against Holland. England did

:14:44. > :14:50.it against Pakistan. Our Pakistan the world number one? They are in

:14:51. > :14:55.tests, it is not a Mickey Mouse team, it is a serious opposition and

:14:56. > :15:04.to clock up this total, over eight runs an over, is astonishing. It was

:15:05. > :15:11.a batsmen's pitch. I once got eight in one afternoon. So to get more

:15:12. > :15:17.than eight and over. Don't ask. We will end it there. Thank you both

:15:18. > :15:23.very much. That's it for the papers tonight, the front pages are online

:15:24. > :15:28.on the BBC News website. You can see is there with each night's addition

:15:29. > :15:32.being posted on the page shortly after we have finished. Wang is

:15:33. > :15:43.tonight guests, Edward and James and thanks to you for watching.

:15:44. > :15:50.Gorgeous day across most part of the UK today. Temperatures got up to 27

:15:51. > :15:54.degrees in the South East. Tonight and tomorrow there is rain away. Not

:15:55. > :15:56.a lot, but for a
