:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:21.With me are the broadcaster and writer, Natalie Haynes,
:00:22. > :00:28.and Rob Merrick, Deputy Political Editor of The Independent.
:00:29. > :00:31.Let's have a look at some of the front pages.
:00:32. > :00:32.Donald Trump's Twitter tirade tops the front page
:00:33. > :00:35.of the Financial Times - he targeted Paul Ryan
:00:36. > :00:37.and other senior Republicans for not supporting him.
:00:38. > :00:40.The Telegraph leads with a warning from the treasury watchdog over
:00:41. > :00:43.planned reforms to pensions introduced by ex-chancellor,
:00:44. > :00:46.George Osbourne which could end up costing the treasury
:00:47. > :00:59.The Daily Express says that it's time to Silence EU Exit Whingers -
:01:00. > :01:01.pushing for a hard Brexit deal with Brussels.
:01:02. > :01:03.The Guardian leads with the debate in Westminster today over Syria
:01:04. > :01:06.where Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson warned Russia that it risks
:01:07. > :01:08.becoming a 'pariah state' over its role in the conflict.
:01:09. > :01:11.The Mail says the government is set to go ahead with
:01:12. > :01:25.The paper called the resignation of the chief executive Ashok. -- a
:01:26. > :01:27.shock. And the Mirror devotes much
:01:28. > :01:30.of its front page to what it calls the riddle of singer Will Young's
:01:31. > :01:37.withdrawal from this year's Lots more background and analysis on
:01:38. > :01:43.William's... Don't mock me!
:01:44. > :01:47.Natalie love strictly, and we will be discussing it. The FT, Trump
:01:48. > :01:53.Tweet Thai raid. Hardly a day seems Tweet Thai raid. Hardly a day seems
:01:54. > :02:00.to go by when this man doesn't get on there in the middle of the night,
:02:01. > :02:03.I'm angry! He is doing it again. -- Thai raid.
:02:04. > :02:09.You sort of felt that his taunting You sort of felt that his taunting
:02:10. > :02:15.of Hillary and pretty much anybody even mildly to the left of, let's
:02:16. > :02:19.say, Attila the Hun, that was kind of a given. But now he has started
:02:20. > :02:25.turning on his own party in theory. Remember those adverts, Republican
:02:26. > :02:32.in name only? Now this looks like his candidacy is Republican in name
:02:33. > :02:39.only. Clearly they have split. He never was a Republican, was he?
:02:40. > :02:41.He used to be a Democrat and would have loved to have run as an
:02:42. > :02:46.independent. Now he has the opportunity.
:02:47. > :02:50.Even allowing for all the Republicans who have turned against
:02:51. > :02:52.because of his outrageous behaviour, lots of Republicans don't like him
:02:53. > :02:58.because they don't consider him to be Conservative. He has not got that
:02:59. > :03:02.ideology. He will have evangelical Christians
:03:03. > :03:07.flocking to his side. Mormons.
:03:08. > :03:11.We're used to Republicans attacking Democrats. Today there was only one
:03:12. > :03:17.of the residential candidate attacking, and he was a Republican.
:03:18. > :03:20.astonishing statement in one of his astonishing statement in one of his
:03:21. > :03:28.tweets that the shackles have been taken off, we are not exceed a
:03:29. > :03:34.moderate or restrained Donald Trump. -- not going to see.
:03:35. > :03:38.But the big picture is that he is in trouble. It appears that Hillary
:03:39. > :03:46.Clinton has had a bounce from the second debate, it looks less likely,
:03:47. > :03:50.thank goodness, that this racist, misogynist, rapist, narcissist and
:03:51. > :03:55.fantasist will be elected president. What you say?
:03:56. > :03:59.Signet -- succinctly and beautifully done.
:04:00. > :04:04.million people clearly don't give a million people clearly don't give a
:04:05. > :04:08.monkeys, or already made up their minds. Voting has already started in
:04:09. > :04:12.a lot of the swing states. Hillary Clinton may have won this before
:04:13. > :04:17.November eight. Please let that be true. Polling
:04:18. > :04:22.experts tell us that people's decisions are made often one year
:04:23. > :04:25.before the actual election happens, and very rarely do the debates have
:04:26. > :04:31.any impact whatsoever. I think people probably turned into the
:04:32. > :04:36.first one for the theatre of it. They turned off from the second one
:04:37. > :04:41.because it feels like that narratives has run its course. He is
:04:42. > :04:42.providing his own theatre single-handedly, following his
:04:43. > :04:46.Twitter stream is enough to keep Twitter stream is enough to keep
:04:47. > :04:50.most people who are interested in him occupied. I'm not sure there is
:04:51. > :04:56.much more to be said. Rob, briefly, millions and millions
:04:57. > :04:59.of people support Donald Trump and believe that he is talking to them
:05:00. > :05:05.in a way that politicians simply have not. If, as everyone seems to
:05:06. > :05:08.suggest, and there is a long way to go, one month, he does not win,
:05:09. > :05:14.there is still a constituency at their will be looking to him for
:05:15. > :05:19.something. Yes, I'm sure we can expect
:05:20. > :05:27.allegations the election was rigged. There have been stories about
:05:28. > :05:33.Russian hacking, so I'm sure we will hear plenty of that.
:05:34. > :05:36.It is hard to see him marching on the White House. He does not feel
:05:37. > :05:39.like a revolutionary figure. It is hard to imagine him with pitchforks
:05:40. > :05:46.and everybody stomping their way towards...
:05:47. > :05:50.That is that it is the suggestion. Samsung, have you got one of their
:05:51. > :05:56.phones? No.
:05:57. > :06:01.tend to use your phone for tend to use your phone for
:06:02. > :06:07.spontaneous combustion. A brief campfire.
:06:08. > :06:12.To read the paper online. Anyway, big problem for the company, they
:06:13. > :06:18.have withdrawn this phone from the market.
:06:19. > :06:22.Yes, first they tried to manage the problem by suggesting that some
:06:23. > :06:28.people just send them back without taking this Draconian step of
:06:29. > :06:32.abandoning the model. More than $19 billion has been wiped off the
:06:33. > :06:34.company's market value because nobody will buy their phones and the
:06:35. > :06:40.people who have presumably demand their money back. The problem could
:06:41. > :06:46.be more serious than Samsung realise. Instead of the battery
:06:47. > :06:49.being the problem it is actually a problem with the technology and the
:06:50. > :06:55.process at the heart of the phone. There seems to be no way back for
:06:56. > :06:59.this model of phone and a long-term crisis for Samsung. They said this
:07:00. > :07:07.phone was going to be a killer of the iPhone.
:07:08. > :07:11.Literally. OK, the Guardian, Syria, big debate and emergency debate
:07:12. > :07:16.today. Natalie, the West and in this particular case the UK, Parliament,
:07:17. > :07:21.trying to work out how on earth that responds to the carnage, certainly
:07:22. > :07:25.in Aleppo? Yes, and I'm not entirely sure
:07:26. > :07:30.they're going to come up with an answer. I am no longer sure that
:07:31. > :07:31.there is an answer. I am not sure it's the case that they
:07:32. > :07:37.not found it, and that if they not found it, and that if they
:07:38. > :07:40.discuss it a bit longer the right answer suddenly appears. I think it
:07:41. > :07:43.may be the case that there are 2 million different, slightly better,
:07:44. > :07:51.slightly worse at equally terrible versions of the future, and I'm not
:07:52. > :07:54.sure that having a discussion about localised zones, which you are not
:07:55. > :08:00.win to get Russia to commit to, will make much difference.
:08:01. > :08:03.A lot of hand-wringing, Rob, for a lot of people in Westminster today.
:08:04. > :08:07.The feeling seems to be that there is no good solution to this, let it
:08:08. > :08:11.play out. This is a lot of the debate and the
:08:12. > :08:14.contributions I thought were very impressive. You can tell MPs really
:08:15. > :08:18.wanted to do something and felt guilty that nothing has been done,
:08:19. > :08:21.nothing of consequence. Five years!
:08:22. > :08:25.But that sort of statement only gets But that sort of statement only gets
:08:26. > :08:28.you so far, and I think in the end Boris Johnson, the Foreign
:08:29. > :08:31.Secretary, what he said effectively was we're not going to world War
:08:32. > :08:38.three. That was the question that he posed, you have a no-fly zone, and
:08:39. > :08:41.means of enforcing it, potentially shooting down Russian planes and
:08:42. > :08:47.helicopters, they do not want to take that step. It did not really
:08:48. > :08:51.get us very far. While this debate was going on in the Commons today,
:08:52. > :08:54.there was a simultaneous debate in the other chamber which was about
:08:55. > :09:01.whether to bring back the royally at, and this was a really is --
:09:02. > :09:05.extraordinary and offensive juxtaposition of debate. There were
:09:06. > :09:10.just as many MPs in the second chamber as there were in the first
:09:11. > :09:15.one discussing the agony, the humanitarian disaster in Syria, and
:09:16. > :09:24.that was not good today. Bottom of the Guardian, care home
:09:25. > :09:30.closures leading to risk. Yes, the numbers are pretty terrible
:09:31. > :09:34.anyway you look at them. The profit margins at care homes, they are
:09:35. > :09:37.dropping their funding, the cut has already been cut. They are bringing
:09:38. > :09:40.in a higher minimum wage that is in a higher minimum wage that is
:09:41. > :09:44.going to make that even more of a problem. There is no point saying,
:09:45. > :09:49.exclude them from the minimum wage because that'll be fine. One in ten
:09:50. > :09:53.jobs are already being excised. There are more old people than there
:09:54. > :09:58.were, more of us are going to need care as we get older. The answer is
:09:59. > :10:02.not going to happen around a board until more money comes from
:10:03. > :10:07.somewhere, I think that's it. The Guardian has a depressing front page
:10:08. > :10:10.It is all about money, isn't it, and It is all about money, isn't it, and
:10:11. > :10:16.there just isn't the money. Thankfully we are living longer, but
:10:17. > :10:18.it is causing a huge problem. There is growing criticism of the
:10:19. > :10:24.government for spending more money on the NHS with the flashy front
:10:25. > :10:29.line services rather than the more behind-the-scenes care which is just
:10:30. > :10:34.as important in care homes. There has got to be a shift away from
:10:35. > :10:38.that. There are clearly issues with the NHS, but certainly there has got
:10:39. > :10:46.to be a shift in money to care homes to local authorities, and I would
:10:47. > :10:51.imagine that this sort of thing must be a priority for the new Prime
:10:52. > :11:00.Minister in the Autumn Statement. Front page of the Daily Telegraph,
:11:01. > :11:05.George Osborne's plan for tax relief, the suggestion is that it is
:11:06. > :11:11.going to backfire. Yes, although when you can pick it,
:11:12. > :11:15.there doesn't seem to be a new piece of information or new study which
:11:16. > :11:20.has provoked it as a response. In fact, it is the office of budget and
:11:21. > :11:23.the witty saying if you take taxes are higher earners and their
:11:24. > :11:31.contributors they will take their money elsewhere. It doesn't feel
:11:32. > :11:34.like news, exactly. I could probably have told you that the date was
:11:35. > :11:39.announced. Nothing new here, Rob.
:11:40. > :11:45.I take issue with the headline. I think the Telegraph is keen to blame
:11:46. > :11:50.the forecast that the government will lose money on pension changes.
:11:51. > :12:00.They are keen to blame that on the pension cap. If you look carefully
:12:01. > :12:05.at what this analyst is seen, the other part of the story is the
:12:06. > :12:11.pension freedoms, they will think I don't have to buy an annual tea, I
:12:12. > :12:16.can buy a Lamborghini. The fact that George Osborne increased the amount
:12:17. > :12:21.of tax you pay into your eyes makes it seem too simple to say that the
:12:22. > :12:25.pension cap will result in the government having to pay out more in
:12:26. > :12:30.time. Perhaps, if you didn't have those other freedoms, the cap will
:12:31. > :12:33.not have the effect... And they have to do something about the cap,
:12:34. > :12:39.because the amount that goes into pension tax relief has doubled. The
:12:40. > :12:43.vast majority of that goes to rich people and that is not sustainable.
:12:44. > :12:47.Look how big the headline is with Look how big the headline is with
:12:48. > :12:59.this and look how small the crisis which affects vastly more people is.
:13:00. > :13:06.The Daily Express. Finally... William Young, honour programme by
:13:07. > :13:18.the name of Strictly. He was my joint favourite. And Ed
:13:19. > :13:25.Balls. We like Ed Balls. I thought I was going to hit him but
:13:26. > :13:33.he was hilarious. Len Goodman said there was no salsa in his salsa.
:13:34. > :13:41.they did it beautifully. Lenin was a they did it beautifully. Lenin was a
:13:42. > :13:45.was shuttling from LA to hear so was shuttling from LA to hear so
:13:46. > :13:56.perhaps he was a little jet-lagged and grouchy. Will Stood up to him
:13:57. > :14:01.and it was a bit harrowing. It was like seeing your favourite cousin
:14:02. > :14:07.fighting your favourite grampa. Not that I am an expert, but is it
:14:08. > :14:12.that he is leaving soon, Len Goodman, is this his last one?
:14:13. > :14:16.I am also upset about that, thanks for bringing that up. It is
:14:17. > :14:21.harrowing! Sometimes it is the only consolation I have. Remember that
:14:22. > :14:28.awful news a minute ago? This cheers me up. You will want to go to Mars,
:14:29. > :14:34.Rob, for the next series and not be there. Hell of a link! Man on Mars
:14:35. > :14:45.in 15 years, President Obama says this. Is this possible?
:14:46. > :14:53.This sort of statement triggers memories of promises to put a man on
:14:54. > :14:56.the moon by the end of the decade. I don't know the detail of the story,
:14:57. > :15:00.but there is a surprising that because Obama was suggesting the
:15:01. > :15:04.people could come back. I'll is thought that volunteering to go to
:15:05. > :15:12.Mars was that it was a one-way trip -- I always thought. The paper then
:15:13. > :15:14.makes the obvious joke that there will not be a shortage of people
:15:15. > :15:19.leaving with President Trump looming.
:15:20. > :15:33.Thank you very much. All the front pages online on the BBC website.
:15:34. > :15:36.Each night's edition of The Papers is posted on there shortly after the
:15:37. > :15:51.broadcast is finished. Thanks for watching, and by. -- goodbye.
:15:52. > :15:52.Good evening, another fine day across western
