:00:07. > :00:21.review. A warm welcome. With me are the political

:00:22. > :00:23.commentator, Lance Price, and the parliamentary journalist,

:00:26. > :00:28.pages, starting with: The Telegraph leads on Britain's

:00:29. > :00:31.accusation that Russia is guilty of war crimes with its intense

:00:32. > :00:37.bombing of civilians in Syria. The Times claims this bombing

:00:38. > :00:40.includes the use of napalm by the Russia-backed Syrian

:00:41. > :00:50.government features - the papers says that more

:00:51. > :00:53.than 200 civilians have died since the ceasefire

:00:54. > :00:54.collapsed last week. The Metro focuses on the Labour

:00:55. > :00:57.Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell's refusal to apologise after saying

:00:58. > :00:59.that former Conservative disabilities minister Esther McVey

:01:00. > :01:01.should be 'lynched'. Alleged infighting amongst the Tory

:01:02. > :01:04.front bench is highlighted in the 'I' - with allegations

:01:05. > :01:06.from senior MPs that Prime Minister Theresa May

:01:07. > :01:08.failed to properly back Britain's decision to leave

:01:09. > :01:12.the also dominates the FT - the paper reports fears in the City

:01:13. > :01:15.that the government is leaning towards a so-called 'hard Brexit'

:01:16. > :01:18.that would damage business The Sun splashes on its exclusive

:01:19. > :01:21.interview with England footballer Jamie Vardy - and his remorse over

:01:22. > :01:24.racially abusing a student. And Prince George and Princess

:01:25. > :01:26.Charlotte adorn the Mail's front page - as the Cambridges

:01:27. > :01:43.continue their Canadian Royal Tour. Let's begin. We have the mirror in.

:01:44. > :01:47.They have a lot of coverage of the Labour Party Conference. I know you

:01:48. > :01:52.are known to be on the moderate wing of the party, shall we say. The

:01:53. > :01:58.right of the party, I don't know how you want to describe it but how do

:01:59. > :02:02.you see the party now after Jeremy Corbyn's resounding re-election? The

:02:03. > :02:10.Daily Mirror is that most prone labour newspaper. It is the one that

:02:11. > :02:15.consistently supports the Labour Party and put the gloss on the

:02:16. > :02:20.stories. Battlelines drawn as conference opens. A picture of the

:02:21. > :02:25.leader and the deputy leader looking like a couple of hoods from the back

:02:26. > :02:29.streets of Chicago. It makes it clear that despite the pleas the

:02:30. > :02:34.unity from Jeremy Corbyn and his speech yesterday, that the two sides

:02:35. > :02:39.of the party clearly are in no mood to bury the hatchet and no mood to

:02:40. > :02:42.give up on what they see as two very, very different perspectives of

:02:43. > :02:46.how the Labour Party should go forward and that was spilling out in

:02:47. > :02:52.a lot of the speeches that had been made in the fringes of the

:02:53. > :02:57.conference. How do you see Jeremy Corbyn now? Is he going to, as he

:02:58. > :03:04.says, wipe the slate clean, unite the party? Or will he try for a

:03:05. > :03:10.purge of the right? I think Lance is for the reality -based part of the

:03:11. > :03:18.party. He is not going to unite the party. He has ruled out MPs for the

:03:19. > :03:23.shadow cabinet which would be a significant olive branch. He is

:03:24. > :03:28.talking about giving more say to the members and increasing democracy.

:03:29. > :03:32.Even in this copy, today, Jeremy Corbyn has questioned the government

:03:33. > :03:36.'s decision to increase the number of people working for our security

:03:37. > :03:40.services. Does he not live in the same world as the rest of us? Does

:03:41. > :03:45.he not see the security situation we face? No, he doesn't. It is a

:03:46. > :03:50.socialist nonsense. He doesn't live in the world we live in, a strange

:03:51. > :03:56.socialist bubble, he lives in. That is what is dangerous. It is a fight

:03:57. > :04:07.between reality -based Labour people. And Jeremy Corbyn people.

:04:08. > :04:11.One of the more worrying comments that Jeremy Corbyn made was that the

:04:12. > :04:15.majority of Labour MPs would have nothing to fear. That would suggest

:04:16. > :04:25.that some would have something to fear and a -- it looks like they

:04:26. > :04:28.would be keen to get rid of them. Some people around Jeremy Corbyn

:04:29. > :04:33.will be giving them all the encouragement they need. The problem

:04:34. > :04:36.is, Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonald are still fighting a battle to

:04:37. > :04:40.control over the Labour Party. They are not interested in the battle to

:04:41. > :04:48.try and persuade the public to support Labour. Jeremy Corbyn has

:04:49. > :04:51.won 62% of the vote, overwhelmingly, he has the support of the party

:04:52. > :04:57.membership. Depending on what poll you look at, most people in the

:04:58. > :05:02.country describe themselves as centre, centre-left or centre right.

:05:03. > :05:10.There are around 10% that are far less. Yes, they are voting in Jeremy

:05:11. > :05:13.Corbyn. But the Labour Party needs to win marginal seats that are

:05:14. > :05:16.presently held by the Tories. You don't do that with far left

:05:17. > :05:30.politics. Onto the Daily Mail. A different story. Furia at Blair

:05:31. > :05:35.warcrimes. -- fury at. If they are going to look at troops being

:05:36. > :05:40.prosecuted for allegedly fences being committed on the battlefield,

:05:41. > :05:47.the Daily Mail as saying that they shouldn't be those investigations.

:05:48. > :05:51.He agreed that the International Criminal Court and took us to war in

:05:52. > :05:56.the first place. It is a very, very thin story, to be honest. In that

:05:57. > :06:02.case, let's move on. In the Times, there are rumblings, a row, between

:06:03. > :06:10.friends or people close to David Cameron. People close to the reader

:06:11. > :06:13.may as well. After a lot of stories criticising Theresa May, her people

:06:14. > :06:23.are now hitting back at David Cameron. There to -- there appears

:06:24. > :06:28.to be real tensions within the Tory party. There is allegations that

:06:29. > :06:33.Theresa May told David Cameron not to take a hard line on immigration

:06:34. > :06:40.when he was talking with Angela Merkel. He was scared of the German

:06:41. > :06:43.Chancellor. The director of killing patients at Downing Street has

:06:44. > :06:48.managed in the space of three months to write a full book with criticisms

:06:49. > :06:51.of Theresa May saying that she was disloyal to David Cameron and did

:06:52. > :06:55.not support the remain campaign. There is a proxy war going on. It

:06:56. > :07:00.will get worse at the Conservative Party conference next week. Lance,

:07:01. > :07:04.as a former spin doctor, you surprised how quickly the Downing

:07:05. > :07:07.Street spin doctor has come out with a book question mark is extra

:07:08. > :07:14.ordinary. I wrote a book five years after working with Tony Blair. I got

:07:15. > :07:18.it in the neck. I was told it was too soon. These are books coming out

:07:19. > :07:22.within weeks of leaving office which raises the question of whether they

:07:23. > :07:27.were working on them while they were still in the job. Any person in the

:07:28. > :07:30.job keeps a diary and is already thinking about the book they might

:07:31. > :07:34.write afterwards. It makes the revelations more relevant, in a

:07:35. > :07:43.sense. Very relevant. That is why it is threatening to Theresa May. My

:07:44. > :07:47.boss Alistair Campbell did this. Not only protect their own role but

:07:48. > :07:51.protect the legacy of the Prime Minister they worked for. This

:07:52. > :07:55.person is doing it for David Cameron but in the process, damaging his

:07:56. > :08:00.successor. The Scottish version of the Daily Telegraph has a story

:08:01. > :08:05.about Nicola Sturgeon. The independence for Scotland. Can you

:08:06. > :08:15.explain what that is about? No. The thrust of it is that Nicola Sturgeon

:08:16. > :08:18.can use Brexit tattoo leveraged more powers from London and thereby

:08:19. > :08:29.putting Scotland in an optical position. -- optimal. The supporters

:08:30. > :08:33.are very keen and people are very keen to have a referendum on Brexit.

:08:34. > :08:38.As soon as possible. This suggests waiting, seeing what they can get

:08:39. > :08:44.out of the British government and thinking about independence as an

:08:45. > :08:49.aspiration. The Telegraph, not the Scottish edition but the other

:08:50. > :08:55.addition, has Britain as accusing Vladimir Putin of warcrimes. The

:08:56. > :09:00.whole situation in the latter was so distressing. So many people are

:09:01. > :09:03.dying. These accusations in the end a possibly meaningless, are they?

:09:04. > :09:10.The Russians and the Syrian government are going to continue? I

:09:11. > :09:13.feel that is right. It has been extraordinary in the General

:09:14. > :09:17.Assembly. People turning on both the Russians and the Syrians and

:09:18. > :09:25.accusing them of warcrimes all very close. That is almost all that the

:09:26. > :09:29.rest of the West have not, the rest of the international community have

:09:30. > :09:33.got left in their armoury. They are not going to do in any way take on

:09:34. > :09:37.the Russians in the skies in Syria. There is nothing they can do

:09:38. > :09:41.militarily but there is a faint hope that even words as strong as these

:09:42. > :09:48.will do anything to stop the carnage. It is interesting. When you

:09:49. > :09:52.think about who is going to be the next president of the United States,

:09:53. > :09:56.how Russia handles itself, that could be key. There is a lot of

:09:57. > :10:04.people that say that Obama's alleged weaknesses in Boldon Vladimir Putin

:10:05. > :10:08.and Russia. -- embolden. Looking ahead to what's the big TV debate

:10:09. > :10:13.which is tomorrow night. Clinton versus Trump. 90 minutes. It will be

:10:14. > :10:19.quite a good watch. Interesting. The pickup would you saying, one of the

:10:20. > :10:24.things Hillary Clinton will be talking about is the importance of

:10:25. > :10:30.Nato. The importance of the alliance. What we have is the unity

:10:31. > :10:35.within that structure and that is what people will be explaining the

:10:36. > :10:40.Jeremy Corbyn. Will they get them into the room and tell them to be

:10:41. > :10:45.calm or will he say one outrageous thing which will then vent all

:10:46. > :10:51.courage on the debate. Going into a debate like that, the polls are

:10:52. > :10:59.almost neck and neck. And they are narrowing. It will talk about the

:11:00. > :11:04.pivot in the campaign and they are expecting Trump at some point the

:11:05. > :11:08.pivot from being this populist that says everything that he likes to

:11:09. > :11:12.being a more presidential candidate and that has not happened. I think

:11:13. > :11:16.the advice he will want to receive and therefore the advice that a lot

:11:17. > :11:20.of people around him will give him will just be to carry on being

:11:21. > :11:24.Donald Trump and that poses a challenge for Hillary Clinton. She

:11:25. > :11:28.is clearly the better qualified but we have seen before, if you look at

:11:29. > :11:32.Al Gore versus George W Bush, the first time around when he ran for

:11:33. > :11:36.president, Al Gore was better qualified but he looked almost

:11:37. > :11:43.sneering because he looked down on George W Bush. If she does anything

:11:44. > :11:49.similar to that, even though he lives through his teeth, he offends

:11:50. > :11:53.everybody, she could still come out of this debate tomorrow night the

:11:54. > :11:58.loser. That is a very, very serious threat to her campaign. Tony? I

:11:59. > :12:06.could not possibly predict who will win. The other people we need to

:12:07. > :12:10.focus on other moderators. He constantly tells lies and I would

:12:11. > :12:13.expect the moderators to pick him up on those lies. To stop in and say

:12:14. > :12:20.no, that is not true. But the problem that American media and TV

:12:21. > :12:26.have if they are just filming him saying outrageous things but they

:12:27. > :12:34.don't stop him and question him? If Hillary Clinton is standing there

:12:35. > :12:41.and saying "Liar, liar, pants on Fire", it may backfire. Laura Trott

:12:42. > :12:45.and Jason Kenny, the heroes at Rio after their golden performances in

:12:46. > :12:47.Rio, they got married and managed to keep it a secret. Quite an

:12:48. > :13:00.achievement. a bike made for two. Amazing that we

:13:01. > :13:05.are talking about the fact that these people got married and didn't

:13:06. > :13:10.sell it on Hello magazine. It is nice, isn't it? It is nice. I had

:13:11. > :13:17.the sense that the editor was saying, why didn't we get the story

:13:18. > :13:22.of this wedding?! Rather nice picture of Laura Trott with the

:13:23. > :13:28.couple's dogs, posted by Jason Kenny, and he tweeted, good morning,

:13:29. > :13:33.Mrs Kenny. That is rather lovely. Anyway, thank you both very much

:13:34. > :13:39.indeed. Always nice to end on a sweet note. It is. That is it from

:13:40. > :13:45.the papers. Coming up next year on BBC News, it is the Film Review.

:13:46. > :13:49.Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.
