:00:00. > :00:00.to the latest exit polls. Paralympics GB bid farewell to Rio

:00:00. > :00:19.in the closing ceremony tonight with 64 gold medals.

:00:20. > :00:28.So, there we are, let's have a look at what is in the papers tomorrow

:00:29. > :00:31.morning. With me to discuss the front papers Rosalind Irwin and Neil

:00:32. > :00:36.Midgeley. Thank you both for coming in. Let's run you through the

:00:37. > :00:39.front-pages as we have them so far and the Times report on those

:00:40. > :00:43.attacks in the United States over the weekend. Theresa May, who is due

:00:44. > :00:46.to fly to New York for the UN assembly, will urge other countries

:00:47. > :00:51.to step up their Counter-Terrorism efforts.

:00:52. > :00:56.The Financial Times leads with the attack in New York. The newspaper

:00:57. > :01:00.quotes the City's Mayor who said that "New Yorkers will not be

:01:01. > :01:06.intimidated". The same story in the Met row. The paper also reports a

:01:07. > :01:08.warning from the NSPCC about the rising number of paedophiles

:01:09. > :01:15.contacting children online -- the Met row. The children's charity says

:01:16. > :01:19.webcams and apps make minors more vulnerable -- Metro. We have The

:01:20. > :01:24.Telegraph reporting David Cameron wanted to shut down criminal

:01:25. > :01:30.investigations into the alleged abuse of Iraqis but was overruled by

:01:31. > :01:35.Government lawyers. Let's start off then Neil, with The Times, like

:01:36. > :01:41.quite a few of the papers featuring the various attacks in America quite

:01:42. > :01:44.prominently? Yes. New York is the latest city to suffer its wave of

:01:45. > :02:03.attacks. Isis has claimed responsibility for

:02:04. > :02:08.the stabbings. This is less than a week after the

:02:09. > :02:11.anniversary of 9/11 and New York is a city massively scarred by

:02:12. > :02:18.terrorism, probably more than any other. Roz Monday, a lot of world

:02:19. > :02:26.leaders are coming with the UN General Assembly next week --

:02:27. > :02:31.Rosamond. Yes, Theresa May will be going

:02:32. > :02:33.there, as will the other leaders. There is a question of what this

:02:34. > :02:39.means for the US presidential election. There is a line here that

:02:40. > :02:44.actually says YouGov polling shows that Donald Trump actually is ahead

:02:45. > :02:47.of Hillary Clinton marginal nationally, when voters were asked

:02:48. > :02:54.who would be best to keep the US safe from terrorism. We have had a

:02:55. > :02:59.lot of rhetoric on that from him. All of these very difficult things

:03:00. > :03:05.in America, including the perceived racism of the police in many

:03:06. > :03:09.American cities and the Black Lives Matter campaign, Donald Trump is

:03:10. > :03:13.very good at saying it will all be fixed, trust me, the first day I'm

:03:14. > :03:17.in office, similar rhetoric, as you say on terrorism but no detail of

:03:18. > :03:23.how he'll achieve that. At the moment, the authorities don't seem

:03:24. > :03:25.clear on who was behind this explosion, whether it's

:03:26. > :03:28.international terrorism or whether it's domestic terrorism. America

:03:29. > :03:37.suffered both in recent years, hasn't it? Yes, they think it wasn't

:03:38. > :03:40.probably in the case of international terrorism at the

:03:41. > :03:47.moment but we are yet to know much more. It's also prominent in the FT

:03:48. > :03:51.as well. At the top there, they have New York blasts explosions rock city

:03:52. > :03:55.as world leaders gather for security talks, to Neil again, focussing in.

:03:56. > :04:00.But we don't know if there's any connection with the UN General

:04:01. > :04:08.Assembly. No. It could be a coincidence of timing. My guess is

:04:09. > :04:11.that the presence of the UN and its diplomats generally to the business

:04:12. > :04:16.of New York as a city, doesn't tend to impact greatly on New Yorkers,

:04:17. > :04:20.it's not something that's in their consciousness, apart from the

:04:21. > :04:24.motorcade. They have said they are stepping up security for this

:04:25. > :04:30.conference predictably. Deploying an extra 1,000 officers. Yes. I suppose

:04:31. > :04:34.you could say 29 injured which is terrible, but it could have been so

:04:35. > :04:42.much worse actually? No fatalities? Yes. And they are all out of

:04:43. > :04:47.hospital. Minor injuries. Yes. Obviously America suffers a lot of

:04:48. > :04:53.mass shootings, particularly in schools and colleges, so this, as

:04:54. > :04:59.you say, slightly invidious to compare severity of attacks of this

:05:00. > :05:03.nature, but nobody lost their life. The Met row's front-page which says

:05:04. > :05:11.terror blast rocks the Big Apple, well I suppose it did metaphorically

:05:12. > :05:17.-- Metro. Yes, indeed. People will be looking to France and thinking,

:05:18. > :05:22.when does the next one drop, you know, once there is one attack, as

:05:23. > :05:27.the French have seen in Paris and then in Nice, there can be more and

:05:28. > :05:32.copy cats and you don't know what their motivations are. Domestic

:05:33. > :05:43.terror, foreign terror, America suffered them both. Or just pad

:05:44. > :05:52.people. -- bad people. Yes. The Guardian, Neil, another story about

:05:53. > :06:00.the Labour Parties, internal wranglings, rebel MPs face the axe,

:06:01. > :06:03.warns Corbyn allies. Len McCluskey speaking to Panorama on BBC One

:06:04. > :06:07.tomorrow night, a plug for that! Thank you very much, we have been

:06:08. > :06:13.plugging it all evening but we welcome another one from you! Yes,

:06:14. > :06:17.saying that Labour MPs could face deselection if Jeremy Corbyn A wins

:06:18. > :06:24.the leadership again and B they've been disloyal to him. I mean, you

:06:25. > :06:28.could not get further in political sympathy. As far as you can get,

:06:29. > :06:34.political sympathy from the Labour Party in all of its stripes, but we

:06:35. > :06:37.need a strong opposition, we need a strong united opposition to hold the

:06:38. > :06:41.Government to account and to make our democracy function properly.

:06:42. > :06:47.This kind of intervention just is not helpful. One of the lines here

:06:48. > :06:51.is, they are saying some of these MPs behave sod disgracefully showing

:06:52. > :06:56.no respect for Jeremy Corbyn as a leader obviously voting against him

:06:57. > :07:03.and you think, how many times did he vote against his leaders. How

:07:04. > :07:08.disgracefully have these MPs been behaved against. Many of these

:07:09. > :07:13.so-called rebel MPs against Jeremy Corbyn have suffered up to and

:07:14. > :07:18.inClauding death threats and other kinds of social media abuse, verbal

:07:19. > :07:24.abuse, threats. They appear to come from the very far left. But the

:07:25. > :07:27.Corbyn side would say he's still remarkably popular amongst Labour

:07:28. > :07:32.Party members? Yes. One of the MPs that there was a story about today,

:07:33. > :07:36.being amongst those sort of that they want to axe, was Peter Kyle and

:07:37. > :07:44.I find it very frustrating, as somebody who is a Labour supporter,

:07:45. > :07:50.because he was one of the few Labour MPs who actually beat a Tory sitting

:07:51. > :07:54.MP. There is a very small band of them in 2015. The fact that, because

:07:55. > :07:59.he's a moderate obviously, that he's sort of up for the chop, as it were,

:08:00. > :08:03.it's very frustrating because you would think that was somebody who

:08:04. > :08:08.clearly can appeal to a wider audience. This kind of intervention

:08:09. > :08:13.makes it more likely that the Labour Party will split, you know, if you

:08:14. > :08:16.are deselected as an official Labour candidate as a sitting MP you are

:08:17. > :08:23.much more likely obviously to bind together all of you and form the

:08:24. > :08:26.modern day equivalent of the SDP. Lord Kinnock on is Panorama tomorrow

:08:27. > :08:31.saying he doesn't think there'll be another Labour Government in his

:08:32. > :08:34.lifetime. As a Labour supporter, I'm not talking about your lifetime,

:08:35. > :08:38.which is, let's hope, many decades to come, but I mean do you think

:08:39. > :08:44.Lord Kinnock is being real listic when he says that? He says he won't

:08:45. > :08:48.go necessarily if he loses the next general election and there is a

:08:49. > :08:54.question of what Jeremy Corbyn wants to actually achieve. You know,

:08:55. > :08:59.there's plenty of speculation about that, it's about creating this body

:09:00. > :09:02.of exceedingly left-wing mens who've become a bigger force in politics

:09:03. > :09:09.which obviously this would seem to lend itself to. Do you think the

:09:10. > :09:14.party will split? I think the shadow of what happened before when they

:09:15. > :09:19.split is looming very largement. You talk to Labour MPs, they are scared

:09:20. > :09:22.about that and say the thing is that you are punished at the next

:09:23. > :09:27.election of being the people who break away and from then on it's not

:09:28. > :09:32.an easy thing to split. The problem is, obviously, that the membership

:09:33. > :09:37.isn't representative remotely of Parliamentary Labour Party. Or the

:09:38. > :09:41.country. Absolutely. Or even of Labour supporters. But that, as a

:09:42. > :09:46.problem, there is no obvious solution to that. The Independent

:09:47. > :09:51.have a very striking headline, the Youngest child refugee to die in the

:09:52. > :09:55.quest to reach the UK, a 14-year-old Afghan boy they say with a legal

:09:56. > :10:01.right to enter Britain was hit by a truck as he tried to cross over?

:10:02. > :10:05.Yes. He says he was waiting in Calais, so I assume that's the

:10:06. > :10:09.jungle camp, and he got so tired of waiting that he went off to try and

:10:10. > :10:17.get into Britain by himself and was hit by a truck on a French motorway.

:10:18. > :10:24.I mean, what a short brutal, sad tragic life he led. Yes. I've got a

:10:25. > :10:27.statistic here that they estimate the number of unaccompanied minors

:10:28. > :10:32.in the refugee camp, being over 1,000. That is just shocking. Our

:10:33. > :10:35.policy incidentally is to send people who are in this country when

:10:36. > :10:40.they reach adulthood back to Afghanistan. There's been a lot of

:10:41. > :10:43.people who've turned 18, ground up here mostly and spent much of their

:10:44. > :10:51.childhood here and that's the Government's policy.

:10:52. > :10:56.Let's go back to the Telegraph and back to the Labour Leadership

:10:57. > :11:00.briefly. They have a picture of Jeremy Corbyn obviously it's a

:11:01. > :11:05.knockout, they say, the leadership. He's been knocking himself out, not

:11:06. > :11:10.sure whether that's... Punching himself in the head. Not sure

:11:11. > :11:13.whether that's what will happen in the contest because most pundits

:11:14. > :11:18.think he'll win comfortably. He's more lakely to be giving the

:11:19. > :11:22.punches. He's visited a boxing club that trains homeless people in North

:11:23. > :11:28.London. No doubt the constituency advantage is where he seems to

:11:29. > :11:34.retreat to. He wasn't pulling his punches says The Telegraph. One of

:11:35. > :11:39.your types of puns there. Are the gloves off? ! Yes, made for the

:11:40. > :11:43.headline writers. More seriously, The Telegraph have an interesting

:11:44. > :11:49.story about how the Attorney General says, vetoed an attempt to stop an

:11:50. > :11:53.investigation into the abuse of Iraqis by British troops. What do

:11:54. > :12:01.you make of that? This story's been bobbling along for a while. We the

:12:02. > :12:05.UK set up a Task Force called ihaf to investigate alleged abuse of

:12:06. > :12:09.Iraqis by British soldiers when we were in the country -- ihat. We did

:12:10. > :12:14.that so we wouldn't be investigated by the International Criminal Court

:12:15. > :12:20.for war crimes and now, there are three soldiers in particular, as The

:12:21. > :12:26.Sunday Telegraph reported today, facing criminal proceedings for

:12:27. > :12:30.alleged abuse of an Iraqi. They were cleared by military hearing ten

:12:31. > :12:34.years ago and many, if not all of the allegations against the British

:12:35. > :12:40.forces came from public interest lawyers which you will recall is a

:12:41. > :12:45.law firm which closed down, had its legal aid reformed in -- removed in

:12:46. > :12:50.the summer when it was shin that there were alleged irregularities.

:12:51. > :12:54.I'll leave the lawyers to work out what that means, but that was over

:12:55. > :12:57.the work in Iraq. David Cameron wanted to close down the new

:12:58. > :13:01.investigations into the soldiers but the Attorney General told him he

:13:02. > :13:07.couldn't, it was illegal, and Johnny Mercer, the chair of the Defence

:13:08. > :13:13.Select Committee also a Tory, also up in arms about this, that nobody

:13:14. > :13:18.seems at this point to know what the actual point of ihat is, it's all

:13:19. > :13:24.sort of gone away. OK. On a slightly lighter note or very much lighter

:13:25. > :13:31.note, The Express, always there to cheer us up, and a nice picture of

:13:32. > :13:36.the stars of ITV hit show Victoria. They are apparently in a real life

:13:37. > :13:42.romance to match the on-screen romance? Yes, rumours that they have

:13:43. > :13:48.found love on set. Are you a fan of the show? I'm afraid I haven't been

:13:49. > :13:56.watching it. I have. I was a big fan of hers, she was fantastic in Doctor

:13:57. > :14:00.Who. I can't work out who is prettier, they are at an awards

:14:01. > :14:07.show. There's been a lot of viewers saying she's rather prettier than

:14:08. > :14:12.Queen Victoria. She is. Interesting that the news of their supposed

:14:13. > :14:23.relationship came out this morning just before episode five of eight.

:14:24. > :14:34.It's dog very well in the ratings. It's beating Poldark narrowly. The

:14:35. > :14:37.conSol Tated ratings come in, which means how many people watched it

:14:38. > :14:42.over the week. Then the margin gets larger. What do you think of the

:14:43. > :14:46.shows, both hugely popular, being up against each other, does that matter

:14:47. > :14:51.any more in the days when everybody records everything? John

:14:52. > :14:59.Whittingdale would say it does and the BBC shouldn't be scheduling the

:15:00. > :15:03.same dramas. Maybe they should make different dramas at different

:15:04. > :15:10.stages. There are 168 hours in week, you would think the BBC and ITV

:15:11. > :15:16.could find two different ones. That Sunday night 9 o'clock slot is very

:15:17. > :15:19.sought after. We have two good quality dramas, one with an

:15:20. > :15:31.historical element, learning something. One with his chest! Maybe

:15:32. > :15:34.the BBC should be saying the Poldark stars are in a relationship as well.

:15:35. > :15:40.I think they are both already spoken for.

:15:41. > :15:47.Maybe. Thank you both, Rosamond and Neil. We'll be back at 11. 30 for

:15:48. > :15:54.another look at the Papers. Coming up next, it's Meet the Author.

:15:55. > :15:57.Stewart Lee's comedy act fills the biggest venues.

:15:58. > :16:00.He's been doing it for more than 25 years.

:16:01. > :16:02.He's one of the biggest successes in stand-up.

:16:03. > :16:04.He says he's a comic who investigates that territory

:16:05. > :16:08.between what's acceptable and what's shocking and it's the same
