:00:00. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor
:00:21. > :00:22.at the London Evening Standard and Benedicte Paviot,
:00:23. > :00:33.Welcome both. We are a bit late starting and I know you don't like
:00:34. > :00:39.that. Let's start with the front pages.
:00:40. > :00:50.Maimed by fun park's bonus culture - that's the Metro's take
:00:51. > :00:52.on the Smiler Ride roller-coaster crash at Alton Towers
:00:53. > :00:56.Today was the opening the sentencing hearing where Merlin Attractions has
:00:57. > :00:58.been warned to expect a "very large fine".
:00:59. > :01:01.The Express says the economy is booming after the Brexit vote -
:01:02. > :01:03.which they claim is according to Treasury figures.
:01:04. > :01:05.That's a similar message from The Times - they've interviewed
:01:06. > :01:08.a German businessman who says that Britain could be better off
:01:09. > :01:15.than other EU countries within five years.
:01:16. > :01:18.The Guardian has been doing a year long investigation into the trade
:01:19. > :01:20.in endangered species and the link to organised crime
:01:21. > :01:44.The Telegraph has an undercover filming of the England manager Sam
:01:45. > :01:47.Allardyce. They allege he used his position as England manager to
:01:48. > :01:49.negotiate a very large deal and offered advice to businessmen on how
:01:50. > :01:55.to get around rules on player transfers. Mr Allardyce has not
:01:56. > :01:59.responded to the allegations yet. Bearing that in mind that we only
:02:00. > :02:04.have part of the story, a quick look at the Daily Telegraph's splash,
:02:05. > :02:14.England manager for sale, it says. This is a report in this one
:02:15. > :02:16.newspaper. They have used secret filming. It is an investigation by
:02:17. > :02:18.the Telegraph which alleges that Sam Allardyce used his position of
:02:19. > :02:24.influence to sell advice on player transfers. There are no proceedings
:02:25. > :02:32.at the moment. We have not heard from Sam Allardyce or the FA yet. It
:02:33. > :02:37.looks like a significant story. We have not had any response at all so
:02:38. > :02:49.we cannot comment on the rights or wrongs of it. Sam Allardyce faces
:02:50. > :02:57.questions on his judgment. This will be an issue that the FA and Sam
:02:58. > :03:03.Allardyce will have to address. What can you add to that? It is just a
:03:04. > :03:08.one-sided report. That is right but it is clear that the Daily Telegraph
:03:09. > :03:16.saying there more revelations and there is a ten month investigation,
:03:17. > :03:22.nothing proven and as you said, the FA wants to see everything that the
:03:23. > :03:25.Daily Telegraph has got. ?4000 fee and a headline to say England
:03:26. > :03:31.manager for sale is more than embarrass them. We will wait for
:03:32. > :03:36.details and a response from the FA and Sam Allardyce himself.
:03:37. > :03:45.The Times, Brexit will boost Britain says a German business chief. Who is
:03:46. > :03:50.this? It is the chief executive of a publishing house. He is quite
:03:51. > :03:57.heavyweight. I have just come back from Germany. The mood there was one
:03:58. > :04:03.of pragmatism, interestingly. He is saying that actually, Britain will
:04:04. > :04:09.do better because of Brexit. He claims in the long run, better than
:04:10. > :04:13.continental Europe, and continental Europe may suffer more from Brexit
:04:14. > :04:20.than England itself. That is quite a claim. It is very early days yet.
:04:21. > :04:24.What he does also underline is this is a very important wake-up call for
:04:25. > :04:31.Europe to refresh its political approach. We know there is a wake-up
:04:32. > :04:34.call for continental Europe and the other EU countries, and that is what
:04:35. > :04:41.EU leaders were beginning to try to address in the Bratislava summit.
:04:42. > :04:50.The Daily Express has something similar. Whatever happened to the
:04:51. > :04:55.scaremongering as it was described that we would end up in recession?
:04:56. > :05:00.That has not happened yet. It is definitely the case in the short
:05:01. > :05:03.term that the worst predictions are not being realised. Whether it turns
:05:04. > :05:10.out to be real down the line is another issue. But these comments
:05:11. > :05:21.from the boss in the Times are very powerful. The Express story actually
:05:22. > :05:25.is slightly overcooked I think. It is forecast by economists that the
:05:26. > :05:31.Treasury gathers each month. In essence, what has happened is the
:05:32. > :05:35.predicted growth is up to 1.8%, which had got down after the
:05:36. > :05:40.referendum. It has now got back to the pre-referendum level. It
:05:41. > :05:46.substantiates the argument that there has not been this great
:05:47. > :05:51.falling off of activity. It does not quite go as far as saying we are in
:05:52. > :05:56.bloom territory. Staying with the Express as the French tell Britain
:05:57. > :06:01.you must pay for the migrant crisis. Martin, they are saying we should
:06:02. > :06:07.not use Brexit as a reason to wash our hands for responsibility for the
:06:08. > :06:11.people stuck in the jungle. I don't think we are. We are spending quite
:06:12. > :06:17.a lot of money in Calais already. There is a lot of French politics
:06:18. > :06:22.going on here. The French president is under an enormous amount of
:06:23. > :06:29.pressure from the right, the main right-wing and Marine Le Pen on this
:06:30. > :06:32.issue. He is saying, it is the first time he has been to Calais for four
:06:33. > :06:37.years, he is trying to say I will be tough and do something about this,
:06:38. > :06:41.but at the same time, not wanting to let us off the hook. But I think we
:06:42. > :06:45.are quite clear in this country we are trying to do things here. We are
:06:46. > :06:50.building security fences and trying to address some of the migrant
:06:51. > :06:58.issues. Just briefly, he has left it until now to visit Calais? Why would
:06:59. > :07:01.you want to visit somewhere which is obviously very problematic. You let
:07:02. > :07:04.your minister of the interior who has gone several times with the
:07:05. > :07:09.former Home Secretary Theresa May go there. But we are in the lead up to
:07:10. > :07:17.the presidential elections. I should briefly point out that Britain has
:07:18. > :07:22.committed ?85 million to reinforce security in Calais. One person who
:07:23. > :07:27.is hopping mad is this side of the Channel and that is the Dover MP
:07:28. > :07:32.Charlie Elphicke who says Britain has paid millions for walls and
:07:33. > :07:39.fences in Calais. He is right. Yet the French keep asking for more. Our
:07:40. > :07:45.money should be spent on more border controls in Dover and the English
:07:46. > :07:48.Channel. Expect this to rumble on. President Hollande says the jungle
:07:49. > :07:54.will be closed by Christmas. The big question on French television
:07:55. > :08:07.tonight is will be people come back to Calais? What is French for
:08:08. > :08:14.jungle? The jungle. Corbyn steps back from damaging trident row. They
:08:15. > :08:18.are all in agreement in the Labour Party apparently. The official
:08:19. > :08:25.position is we support the renewal of Trident. They are all in
:08:26. > :08:32.agreement except Seamus Milne stepped in and took out, tweaked
:08:33. > :08:39.they are calling it, a piece in Clive Lewis, the Shadow Defence
:08:40. > :08:45.Secretary's speech, about Trident. He said there would not be a change
:08:46. > :08:49.in policy. We are told here by the Guardian that there will, when it
:08:50. > :08:53.comes to it, although there are strong differing views, there will
:08:54. > :09:00.always be a free vote, but Jeremy Corbyn and his Shadow Chancellor Mr
:09:01. > :09:06.McDonnell are going to be free to basically disagree with that policy
:09:07. > :09:10.and speak out. This is an issue of a bit of responsibility from Corbyn
:09:11. > :09:15.and McDonnell will stop they have realised that in essence, the
:09:16. > :09:19.Trident debate is almost over now it has been voted through in Parliament
:09:20. > :09:24.and so on and actually, it is perhaps a diversion to try and
:09:25. > :09:28.reopen that front in the party. It is a festering wound. The GMB union
:09:29. > :09:33.are keen on retaining Trident because there are a lot of jobs
:09:34. > :09:38.involved. Corbyn and others are vehemently opposed to it. Why fight
:09:39. > :09:41.this battle when in essence, the actual battle has been taken and
:09:42. > :09:46.you're fighting over something which you probably cannot change anyway.
:09:47. > :09:53.They are trying to concentrate on other issues like economic issues.
:09:54. > :10:01.And unity in the party. That old chestnut. The Guardian, revealed,
:10:02. > :10:08.the men behind the trade in Endangered Species Act. This is
:10:09. > :10:13.exposing how organised crime is at the heart of a lot of trafficking
:10:14. > :10:21.and the killing and maiming of endangered animals. What is
:10:22. > :10:28.interesting is some of the detail. They have some brothers and have
:10:29. > :10:39.listed some of the animals which have been smuggled in.
:10:40. > :10:53.There is some collusion apparently from the state. It is much more
:10:54. > :11:00.organised and approved. Coincides with this huge conference taking
:11:01. > :11:06.place about endangered the in Johannesburg. What is striking is
:11:07. > :11:14.when you look at the BBC and other news channels which I've been
:11:15. > :11:18.covering this, it is worth $23 billion a year, animal trafficking
:11:19. > :11:24.is the fourth most lucrative black-market industry after drugs,
:11:25. > :11:32.people smuggling and arms smuggling. That is staggering. It is often for
:11:33. > :11:39.rhinoceros horns linked to things like traditional medicine in China.
:11:40. > :11:45.Either because of medicinal virtues or sexual prowess or both. We
:11:46. > :11:51.discover today, thanks to Alastair Leithead who has been in Kenya, that
:11:52. > :11:57.pangolins are the most trafficked creature. I had never seen one
:11:58. > :12:02.before. It says here that their scales are alleged to help
:12:03. > :12:09.breast-feeding mothers. Tigers are in imminent danger. Only 13,000
:12:10. > :12:15.rhinos are alive today, 5% of the number four decades ago.
:12:16. > :12:22.Let's move on to the Daily Mail. How Mrs Clooney has warned that a ?4000
:12:23. > :12:30.worth of clothes in four days. What strikes you about this, Martin? The
:12:31. > :12:34.figure. The financial figure. I do not think I have spent ?34,000 on
:12:35. > :12:39.clothes in my entire life. It does not say she has spent it, just she
:12:40. > :12:46.has worn them. The voice in my ear says it is not that much money. I
:12:47. > :12:51.don't know where she shops! It seems Mrs Clooney does not shop in the
:12:52. > :12:58.high street. She has got the money, she has earned it, he has earned it,
:12:59. > :13:03.what is the problem? She tries to help some of the most oppressed
:13:04. > :13:06.people in the world. It is a good message to send out that you don't
:13:07. > :13:12.have to wear something different every single time. Looking elegant,
:13:13. > :13:17.and she always looks elegant and actually looks rather stunning, I
:13:18. > :13:22.think it is maybe too much attention paid to clothes. Maybe it is. Let's
:13:23. > :13:27.pay attention to what she does with her time. That is it for The Papers
:13:28. > :13:36.tonight. The front pages or online on BBC website. It is their seven
:13:37. > :13:42.days a week. You can see us as well. Each night's edition is posted on
:13:43. > :13:43.the page and on iPlayer. Thank you to Benedicte Paviot and Martin
:13:44. > :13:47.Bentham. Have a good evening.
