:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:22.With me are the broadcaster, Shyama Perera and the lawyer, Andrew Kidd.

:00:23. > :00:37.As we have them at the moment. The Financial Times reports on the

:00:38. > :00:42.possible purchase of Twitter. Both Google and Salesforce are in talks

:00:43. > :00:47.to buy the social media platform. The independent reports on the

:00:48. > :00:54.Labour leader, saying that polls reveal many are not keen on Jeremy

:00:55. > :00:59.Corbyn. The Daily Mail claims doctors can work in the UK without

:01:00. > :01:06.safety checks. The Times reports on a ledge at passport fraud on the

:01:07. > :01:11.dark web. A new British Bill of Rights will ensure that service men

:01:12. > :01:20.and women will no longer be subject to European human rights laws on the

:01:21. > :01:23.battlefield. The Daily Express calls the mind blowing arrogance of

:01:24. > :01:28.European president Martin Schulz. The Guardian says one in seven

:01:29. > :01:31.takeaway restaurants fails basic hygiene tests. We're going to be

:01:32. > :01:36.talking about a few of those stories, but let us kick off with

:01:37. > :01:40.the Defence Secretary talking about British troops being the victims of

:01:41. > :01:43.a witchhunt, and that a legal cases being brought against them from

:01:44. > :01:48.things that have happened on the battlefield. Iraq and Afghanistan,

:01:49. > :01:53.particularly. This really captures people's attentions, and people feel

:01:54. > :01:56.strongly about this. Rightly, that our service men and women are doing

:01:57. > :02:00.a job protecting our country and then they are being dragged through

:02:01. > :02:05.the courts in these really difficult cases. And Michael Fallon here is

:02:06. > :02:10.saying that it's going to come to an end. I think a lot of people will

:02:11. > :02:13.support that. And he is saying that the European legislation will be

:02:14. > :02:17.replaced by a British Bill of Rights and there will be a limitation

:02:18. > :02:20.period, so there will be a long stop date after which these cases cannot

:02:21. > :02:27.be brought. So pleased that will give certainty to these service men

:02:28. > :02:31.and women -- so at least that will. So pleased that is a positive thing.

:02:32. > :02:38.Some people will say that soldiers have to have legal constraints. Of

:02:39. > :02:47.course they do, and that is what separates us. We fight fair, we have

:02:48. > :02:51.rules that we and our soldiers stick to. The problem is not that there is

:02:52. > :02:57.a rich witchhunt, the problem is that there are lawyers like Andrew,

:02:58. > :03:00.presumably, there are loopholes in the law that allow them to chase

:03:01. > :03:04.after soldiers and accuse them of stuff. As has been suggested

:03:05. > :03:08.recently, almost perniciously. One company has closed down as a result

:03:09. > :03:15.of that. It is not actually a rich witchhunt, it is an expert

:03:16. > :03:19.annotation of fair laws -- it is not actually a witchhunt, it is an

:03:20. > :03:22.exploitation. It's not what we do that is wrong, it is the way that we

:03:23. > :03:27.have been doing it. One point Michael Fallon makes is that it's

:03:28. > :03:33.not only worrying, intimidating to use his words, for soldiers who

:03:34. > :03:37.retrospectively think they might be prosecuted for something. But also

:03:38. > :03:40.for people who are serving now. They are worried about in the future,

:03:41. > :03:44.they could possibly be prosecuted for something. So does have an

:03:45. > :03:50.impact potentially on morale, I suppose? Inevitably. There has to be

:03:51. > :03:55.accountability. Nobody is saying we remove accountability. It is just

:03:56. > :03:57.striking the right balance between accountability and allowing our

:03:58. > :04:01.service men and women to do their job. At the end of the day, we're

:04:02. > :04:05.giving them a weapon and telling them to go into a war zone. And keep

:04:06. > :04:10.us safe. Has that balance been tilted too much? It seems to me...

:04:11. > :04:18.Human rights gets a bad press in the UK, let's face it. But it's our

:04:19. > :04:23.observance of human rights which separates us from the bad guys.

:04:24. > :04:28.Absolutely. We can't contemplate bad use of good laws with morality. Did

:04:29. > :04:32.that bad guy deserves a beating? Yes, we probably all think secretly

:04:33. > :04:35.and some publicly that he did. But should our soldiers have done it?

:04:36. > :04:40.Well, you know, that is what separates us from the other side. I

:04:41. > :04:44.notice very interestingly that Michael Fallon is quoted at the end

:04:45. > :04:48.talking about the Russians and what's going on in Syria. He says if

:04:49. > :04:52.it was a mistake, Russia should apologise. If it was deliberate,

:04:53. > :04:55.then the Russian commanders should be turned in for prosecution.

:04:56. > :05:00.Actually, that's all that's happening here. When somebody has

:05:01. > :05:04.transgressed, they are being turned into a prosecution. What has upset

:05:05. > :05:08.us is that people are exploiting this to make what appeared to be

:05:09. > :05:15.pernicious allegation against individual. Let us go on The Times.

:05:16. > :05:21.A different story about the dark web, saying that forged British

:05:22. > :05:25.passports and things like driving licences, even GCSE certificates,

:05:26. > :05:30.are being sold on hidden Internet websites in the so-called dark web

:05:31. > :05:35.or the deep Web, whatever you want to call it. We have known for a long

:05:36. > :05:38.time that all sorts of things and weapons and drugs, whatever, are

:05:39. > :05:44.sold on the dark web. Children. Everything. Is that, not a

:05:45. > :05:49.particularly shocking revelation perhaps? I suppose not. We were

:05:50. > :05:52.saying before, we weren't entirely sure the dark web was. Rewound

:05:53. > :05:56.absolutely sure the story was, either. We have just come from all

:05:57. > :06:00.of those, you know, my daughters when they were younger got fake

:06:01. > :06:06.driver 's licenses. It didn't cost them ?100, it cost them ?20. Maybe

:06:07. > :06:11.get a better class of false driving licences if you go on the dark web.

:06:12. > :06:21.Takes a bit of a sinister tone if you read the article. Jihadists are

:06:22. > :06:26.known to be adept at using the technology and share guides on how

:06:27. > :06:33.to do it. They share weapons and class a drugs and those things are

:06:34. > :06:38.stoically late in the stop rather -- are circulating. These things are

:06:39. > :06:43.circulating across the world. They all things like Islamic state. A lot

:06:44. > :06:48.of criminals. Just to explain to anyone who doesn't know the dark web

:06:49. > :06:52.is, it's like the Internet, but below the surface, isn't it? And it

:06:53. > :06:57.is encrypted, that is the key. That is the key. There is a degree of

:06:58. > :07:04.secrecy involved. Journalists might not use the dark web, but they will

:07:05. > :07:08.use those levels of encryption. They delete that kind of onion state

:07:09. > :07:16.which doesn't allow people to access what they are doing. In that sense,

:07:17. > :07:24.it is a sole source for good. Brilliancy, it can be figured. Here

:07:25. > :07:28.is being used for bad -- previously can be for good. You're not

:07:29. > :07:32.impressed with that for a front page from The Times. I prefer the picture

:07:33. > :07:37.of Jeremy Paxman above it. He says he hated his dad, at least he knew

:07:38. > :07:41.him! We weren't going to too much detail about Jeremy Paxman's father.

:07:42. > :07:49.It is featuring exclusive extracts from his autobiography. Now, the

:07:50. > :07:53.Guardian newspaper is looking ahead to the Labour Party conference. We

:07:54. > :07:58.are going to get the leadership result tomorrow. Will it be Evan

:07:59. > :08:02.Smith? Will it be Jeremy Corbyn? All money seems to be an Jeremy Corbyn.

:08:03. > :08:06.This is another story that is very interesting, stating the obvious,

:08:07. > :08:10.Labour's divisions will become irreconcilable and the damage to the

:08:11. > :08:22.putty terminal if it enters another bitter year infighting. -- to the

:08:23. > :08:28.party turn terminal. That is from someone who is not a Corbyn fan as

:08:29. > :08:32.such. He got dispatched as part of that initial leadership... Is this

:08:33. > :08:37.paper says, he has remained neutral during the leadership race. He is

:08:38. > :08:41.saying Labour will only be able to heal if there are serious

:08:42. > :08:47.concessions from the leader. He is looking for some sort of compromise

:08:48. > :08:51.between the two wings of the party. Mr Corbyn has said there is an olive

:08:52. > :08:58.tree outside his office. Not so much an olive branch, but he is prepared

:08:59. > :09:03.to offer some softening on his policies. But it remains to be seen

:09:04. > :09:08.what form that will take. You would have a hard time arguing that he was

:09:09. > :09:15.trying his best in terms of communications. His approach to

:09:16. > :09:20.Brexit was along similar lines, or his approach to campaigning for a

:09:21. > :09:27.Remain. If you put as much effort into bringing the party back

:09:28. > :09:32.together as he did for that,... 7.5. It looks like he will win. What is

:09:33. > :09:37.your perception of that what will mean for the Labour Party? The next

:09:38. > :09:43.election it will be touch and go for the Labour Party. I would have said

:09:44. > :09:48.two months ago if they carry on like this, they will lose the next

:09:49. > :09:52.election without question. Now that Theresa May has started pushing her

:09:53. > :09:58.own agenda, I actually think it could be 50-50 by the time we get to

:09:59. > :10:03.the ballot box. They will both lose ground. You a Jeremy Corbyn Labour

:10:04. > :10:06.Party could win the next election? I think if the Tories carry on in the

:10:07. > :10:11.way they have the last couple of weeks, yes. OK. On that subject of

:10:12. > :10:15.the Labour Party, have a cartoon in the Telegraph. We like to feature

:10:16. > :10:20.these cartoons because they are so good. It is just a very simple

:10:21. > :10:26.policeman being asked for directions in Liverpool. To the Labour

:10:27. > :10:31.conference, says the policeman, turn left, then further left. I should be

:10:32. > :10:39.doing this on this girl 's accent! Then much more left, and it's on

:10:40. > :10:42.your left. -- in a Scouse accent. Your crimes staggered that she

:10:43. > :10:52.thinks that Mr Corbyn has any chance. -- I am just staggered. Look

:10:53. > :10:57.at the evidence, look at the polls. He can't even bring his party

:10:58. > :11:01.together, and nevertheless the country. I think that she is somehow

:11:02. > :11:05.crippling the Tories. She has just brought in to much that was not on

:11:06. > :11:10.the manifesto. She's taking them off somewhere else together, grammar

:11:11. > :11:15.schools. What did she do this we? I forgotten already, but she keeps

:11:16. > :11:21.taking them off message. That's not going to be enough to hand victory

:11:22. > :11:26.to Corbyn, let's face it. I think you get a 50-50, I think you'd get

:11:27. > :11:35.another coalition. Or a demolition, I think it would be! Not a coalition

:11:36. > :11:39.between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, I don't think. The Financial

:11:40. > :11:42.Times have a story about Twitter. I don't know if you guys are on

:11:43. > :11:46.Twitter, but it looks like it could be up for sale with Salesforce and

:11:47. > :11:53.Google in talks to buy it. What you think that? Well, yes. We were

:11:54. > :11:57.reading this before. I was just surprised at how much bigger

:11:58. > :12:02.Facebook is then Twitter. I used Twitter so much more than I use

:12:03. > :12:13.Facebook. But it says here that Facebook is 24 times larger than

:12:14. > :12:21.Twitter. And snapped at also has a higher valuation. Twitter have been

:12:22. > :12:26.flat-lining and struggling to get new users. They have been talk about

:12:27. > :12:30.loosening the 140 characters. At the moment, I like it. It's snappy,

:12:31. > :12:38.punchy. If you turn it into a blog, where there is no character limit,

:12:39. > :12:44.that may make it... What's a lot? May be daily, I tweet. It's a great

:12:45. > :12:48.way of interacting. I think there is a big difference between Twitter and

:12:49. > :12:52.sites like Facebook. Facebook is about the heart, people obsessing or

:12:53. > :12:57.pining. Twitter is about the head. Little thoughts that come out,

:12:58. > :13:02.pieces of news, information. It's not really a conversation. Do you

:13:03. > :13:06.like Twitter? I love Twitter and I don't like Facebook. I much prefer

:13:07. > :13:11.sharing what in my head than what's in my heart. I think this is

:13:12. > :13:17.interesting. You're doing both tonight 's. So you think! I think

:13:18. > :13:24.this is interesting, because where does Twitter go? They won't monetise

:13:25. > :13:29.Twitter, they won't put ads in. The Financial Times is saying it is

:13:30. > :13:32.valued at $16 billion. Which is brilliant money. There are 70

:13:33. > :13:38.people. There must be a way to actually start influencing those

:13:39. > :13:44.people. -- there are so many people. We will see what happens to Twitter.

:13:45. > :13:51.Will it be sold, will it not? The Daily Mail have a question for EU

:13:52. > :13:54.doctors. They say thousands of EU doctors can work in the United

:13:55. > :13:59.Kingdom without basic state if the checks, according to a watchdog

:14:00. > :14:04.warning today. -- basic safety checks. Is that a worry? The

:14:05. > :14:08.headline is a worry. I mean, the Daily Mail supported Brexit and they

:14:09. > :14:14.are sort of continuing with that line. Niall Dickson, the head of the

:14:15. > :14:22.GMC is saying that the loophole needs... General medical Council.

:14:23. > :14:28.The he says there is a genuine worry when it comes to protecting the

:14:29. > :14:34.public. We can't check their competencies and EU policy rules.

:14:35. > :14:39.Language can't be tested. -- EU equality rules. The body call for

:14:40. > :14:43.this loophole to be closed. Yeah, on the facts that we have here, it is

:14:44. > :14:47.worrying. I know, but what they are not saying is why this is an issue

:14:48. > :14:51.at this minute. Is it because European doctors are accidentally

:14:52. > :14:55.knocking us all off and we're all disappearing from GP surgeries

:14:56. > :15:00.because we no longer exist? Or we are all in hospital beds that, you

:15:01. > :15:05.know, and it's down to European GPs not to diagnosing us? Or is it just

:15:06. > :15:09.another bit of fluff? It's relevant now because we're all talking about

:15:10. > :15:16.article 50 and when will it be invoked. The Daily Mail is keeping

:15:17. > :15:21.the Brexit... Dickson is a former BBC correspondent. He's obviously,

:15:22. > :15:24.you know. Let us stick to health. The Guardian have something

:15:25. > :15:41.potentially alarming. If you're watching this on a Friday

:15:42. > :15:45.night a takeaway on the sofa, you might be a bit alarmed to know that

:15:46. > :15:47.one in seven take aways fail hygiene tests, according to the Guardian

:15:48. > :15:51.analysis. The ten worst areas, apparently, are the London boroughs

:15:52. > :15:59.of new, Edinburgh, Shetland Islands, Islington, Lancashire, Harrow

:16:00. > :16:05.Midlothian, Luton and Ealing in west London. They are full of fried

:16:06. > :16:08.chicken shops! I thought this was quite fun and also very worrying.

:16:09. > :16:10.I'm sure we've all got kids who come in late at night with things in

:16:11. > :16:20.plastic containers that really don't look edible at all. Not just the

:16:21. > :16:23.kids! I live in Islington and I'm certainly not having a takeaway on

:16:24. > :16:26.the way home. I'm very choosy where I get my take aways. I think you

:16:27. > :16:29.have to be very careful. I used to frequent a Chinese restaurant a lot

:16:30. > :16:34.near where we lived. And suddenly in all the newspapers was a photograph

:16:35. > :16:40.of a mouse in their sweet and sour sauce, running up the wall. The

:16:41. > :16:44.photograph was taken by food hygiene inspectors which closed the

:16:45. > :16:48.restaurant down City months, and it is still going strong. I have to

:16:49. > :16:59.say, it really made us think as a family unit. -- down for two months.

:17:00. > :17:07.You fiend then? Trying to eat healthy. But inevitably... Do you

:17:08. > :17:11.like a takeaway curry? Occasionally, yes. Occasionally I indulge. It's

:17:12. > :17:18.not a crime! You don't need to be so defensive. It's allowed. Fish finger

:17:19. > :17:22.sandwiches. If you're watching at home, enjoy your takeaway. Thank you

:17:23. > :17:26.so much for being with us, very good to have you on the programme.

:17:27. > :17:29.Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website

:17:30. > :17:31.where you can read a detailed review of the papers.

:17:32. > :17:36.It's all there for you - seven days a week at bbc dot co uk

:17:37. > :17:40.with each night's edition of The Papers being posted

:17:41. > :17:43.on the page shortly after we've finished.

:17:44. > :17:56.Thank you to our guests. And from me, goodbye.

:17:57. > :18:02.It's been a fine Friday for many of us, but the weather's been on the

:18:03. > :18:05.turn across the North West of Scotland. It is quite wet here from

:18:06. > :18:10.this weather front. This very long weather front extends way out from

:18:11. > :18:11.the Atlantic. On either side of it,
