:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:22.With me are Tony Evans, sports columnist for

:00:23. > :00:24.the London Evening Standard and Caroline Wheeler,

:00:25. > :00:26.political editor of the Sunday Express.

:00:27. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with

:00:29. > :00:32.The Sunday Telegraph leads on disquiet among military chiefs

:00:33. > :00:37.at a secret criminal investigation into British troops accused

:00:38. > :00:40.of mistreating two Iraqis - themselves believed to be

:00:41. > :00:43.responsible for murdering two British soldiers 13 years ago.

:00:44. > :00:47.The Sunday Times publishes a hitherto unseen article written

:00:48. > :00:50.by Boris Johnson on why the UK should remain in the EU -

:00:51. > :00:53.the paper says it was written two days before the now

:00:54. > :00:58.Foreign Secretary came out in favour of Brexit.

:00:59. > :01:01.The Observer splashes on criticism of the prime minister's so-called

:01:02. > :01:05.obsession with grammars by the head OFSTED.

:01:06. > :01:16.The Express warns that thousands of chemists will close if spending

:01:17. > :01:19.cuts due to be announced this week go ahead.

:01:20. > :01:23.The Mail on Sunday gives its front page over to the SAS soldier who's

:01:24. > :01:25.facing murder charges after admitting shooting dead two

:01:26. > :01:35.or three fatally wounded Iraqis during combat.

:01:36. > :01:42.We must not confuse Sunday versions and weekday versions. They are very

:01:43. > :01:47.different. We will start with the Sunday Times. Boris and his case for

:01:48. > :01:55.the UK to stay in Europe. What is going on? He wrote two versions of

:01:56. > :02:02.the peace. Obviously. He decided at the last moment which when he uses.

:02:03. > :02:08.According to this what he did was he wrote the remaining piece to clear

:02:09. > :02:12.his mind and put the counterarguments and make sure that

:02:13. > :02:19.he was on the right path. We believe him, millions would not. It is a

:02:20. > :02:26.friend of ours, a friend of the programme, Tim Shipman, it is his

:02:27. > :02:32.new book called all-out war. He must be so happy you have plugged it. It

:02:33. > :02:38.is his new book which is out just in time for Christmas. He should pay me

:02:39. > :02:43.for this. Embarrassingly for Boris Johnson the book says that the

:02:44. > :02:46.unpublished argument rehearsed warnings that Brexit could lead to

:02:47. > :02:49.an economic shock, Russian aggression and Scottish

:02:50. > :02:56.independence. That was written to make days before he came out in

:02:57. > :03:04.support of Brexit on February 19. This piece seems very kind to Boris.

:03:05. > :03:12.It also mentions further on that he did not do it, back Brexit, because

:03:13. > :03:16.he wanted to be Prime Minister. He was warned by his campaign manager

:03:17. > :03:20.that if it did come out for Brexit then he would be put in with the

:03:21. > :03:24.cast of clowns, people like George Galloway and Nigel Farage. He

:03:25. > :03:29.thought it would damage his chance of becoming Prime Minister. I have

:03:30. > :03:37.no extra sympathy for Boris Johnson except for one lion where he says he

:03:38. > :03:43.wanted to punch Michael Gove. We do not condone that sort of behaviour

:03:44. > :03:48.here. Prescription for disaster says the Sunday express. This is

:03:49. > :03:52.Caroline's pet is. Next week we understand there is going to be an

:03:53. > :03:56.announcement by the government that they will unveil spending cuts for

:03:57. > :04:00.chemists which could result in up to a quarter of them closing. As

:04:01. > :04:05.parents, for example, a chemist on your high street is an extremely

:04:06. > :04:09.valuable asset. There has been research done to suggest that people

:04:10. > :04:12.think a chemist is one of the most valuable assets on the high street.

:04:13. > :04:17.I think we have all been in that situation where we have an ill child

:04:18. > :04:23.who has a developing cloth or a temperature and we need to get

:04:24. > :04:27.advice. There are suggestions that the community run ones on the high

:04:28. > :04:31.street are going to come a cropper and are going to close down. We have

:04:32. > :04:36.been running a campaign saying that this is not on. It is not a great

:04:37. > :04:43.deal of money and government turns and they should reverse it. People

:04:44. > :04:47.do value services like this. We do but not the Conservative Party

:04:48. > :04:51.because it is part of an ideological attack on the health service. Cuts

:04:52. > :04:55.have to come from somewhere? There are lots of places where you can

:04:56. > :05:00.trim budgets without affecting the health service. They would like to

:05:01. > :05:04.push us towards an eye direction of an insurance based healthcare

:05:05. > :05:12.system. I get that from their thoughts and actions. They don't

:05:13. > :05:17.make us do that. They will. A big argument is that many of us use our

:05:18. > :05:22.pharmacies instead of our GPs and that keeping pharmacies open is

:05:23. > :05:29.cheaper than hiring more GPs. There is a lot to get through today. The

:05:30. > :05:35.Sunday Telegraph. Are we outraged at the betrayal of up Iraq war troops.

:05:36. > :05:39.This goes back 13 years. Two British soldiers were murdered, the two men

:05:40. > :05:44.suspected of that have complained of ill treatment at the hands of

:05:45. > :05:50.British soldiers. The only possible betrayal in this has taken 13 years

:05:51. > :05:57.because these two Iraqis were accused of murdering British troops.

:05:58. > :06:00.But the full force of the law. But British soldiers were accused of

:06:01. > :06:03.maltreatment. And if they did they also deserve the full weight of the

:06:04. > :06:10.law because it's not mistreat prisoners or suspects. One of the

:06:11. > :06:16.taken so long? It has been a secret investigation? This is being

:06:17. > :06:20.investigated thousands, thousands of these caves there are so many that

:06:21. > :06:23.it has taken this long to get through. That is a scandal. But the

:06:24. > :06:27.scandal is also about the large amounts of money the lawyers have

:06:28. > :06:32.been earning pursuing these cases against people doing their work in

:06:33. > :06:35.the line of duty. He sang back, however, I am not saying that they

:06:36. > :06:42.should not be investigated because if there are allegations were cannot

:06:43. > :06:47.call for a moratorium on it. The other military story. The despicable

:06:48. > :06:51.betrayal of an SAS hero. He has been facing eight murder charge for

:06:52. > :06:57.possibly shooting three Iraqis who were mortally wounded. Again, a

:06:58. > :07:02.similar article to the Sunday Telegraph except this time it is an

:07:03. > :07:06.SAS this is a hero. What they are describing is that this officer was

:07:07. > :07:13.involved in mercy killings, the suggestion being that the Iraqis

:07:14. > :07:20.were mortally wounded. I think it is an alarming allegation at any case.

:07:21. > :07:23.It is insidious and the fact is to call him a hero, what gives him the

:07:24. > :07:28.right on the battlefield to make decisions that these people were

:07:29. > :07:34.mortally wounded. It is a confusing place. It may be confusing and

:07:35. > :07:38.morality might go out the window if he has done this it is wrong and it

:07:39. > :07:46.is against the Geneva Convention and it needs to be investigated. And if

:07:47. > :07:50.he has killed people... Again, it has taken 13 years and that is what

:07:51. > :07:54.it comes back to over and over again. The length of time it has

:07:55. > :07:58.taken. The new do something atrocious not it is not fun for

:07:59. > :08:02.anybody. Especially this case which is about telling people it should

:08:03. > :08:08.have come to a head much earlier. The Observer. The chief of OFSTED

:08:09. > :08:13.same zip session of Theresa May with grammar schools. In a Michael thinks

:08:14. > :08:19.they are divisive and the focus should be on other types of

:08:20. > :08:22.education. All the research, everyone in education suggests that

:08:23. > :08:28.grammar schools are actually, they do not help social mobility. They

:08:29. > :08:35.don't improve education. It seems a throwback to the days of the 1950s

:08:36. > :08:42.and the image of Britain as a grammar school, cricket and you stop

:08:43. > :08:46.what he is saying that it should not be about grammar schools and whether

:08:47. > :08:50.you think they are good or bad. We are meant to be focusing on our

:08:51. > :08:54.vocational education. But from having spoken to just been grinning

:08:55. > :08:58.recently, that is exactly what she's doing. She is not saying grammar at

:08:59. > :09:02.the expense of anything else she sang a grammar for some children who

:09:03. > :09:06.are progressing in an academic level but for other children who want a

:09:07. > :09:11.vocational qualification they will focus on those in terms of growing

:09:12. > :09:14.homegrown skills. It is decisive, however because you end up with two

:09:15. > :09:18.levels and grammar schools will always be seen as the better of the

:09:19. > :09:26.two. That is exactly why we should not return to that. We have come

:09:27. > :09:33.from technical schools, grammars and secondary modern. Your focus on

:09:34. > :09:42.vocational skills, but it wasn't. You are here, you got here. From

:09:43. > :09:51.very different ways no doubt. Corbyn accused of creating a safe space for

:09:52. > :09:54.anti-Semites. Across group have looked at what is going on inside

:09:55. > :09:59.the Labour Party. The Select Committee has been looking into this

:10:00. > :10:04.issue of anti-Semitism and they have singled out the Labour Party for

:10:05. > :10:07.serious criticism, suggesting they have become not only a safe space

:10:08. > :10:14.but also institutionally anti-Semitic. Two important points

:10:15. > :10:18.here. One is that this is cross-party. It had three Labour MPs

:10:19. > :10:23.on it. The claim that Corbyn is making that it is politicising the

:10:24. > :10:29.issue and is anti- labour falls down in the face of the fact that Labour

:10:30. > :10:33.MPs backed the findings and have served on the committee. The other

:10:34. > :10:44.thing that clearly comes out of this is that the Labour Party had its own

:10:45. > :10:51.enquiry into anti-Semitism led by a member and this report went further

:10:52. > :10:55.than that review. This suggestion is that the leadership is inconsistent.

:10:56. > :11:00.One of the things we have seen through Jeremy Corbyn's hole period

:11:01. > :11:06.as leader is that there has not been enough strong leadership and has not

:11:07. > :11:10.been enough direction for the Labour Party. If things are allowed to

:11:11. > :11:17.drift they will get worse and the comeback to say it is... We should

:11:18. > :11:21.leave it, given that it is a cross-party committee it does seem a

:11:22. > :11:26.bit weak. We still have the Independent. A picture of the women

:11:27. > :11:30.of Donald Trump supporting him as he goes onstage at another campaign

:11:31. > :11:40.rally. Standing by their man. After all he has said about women. Facets

:11:41. > :11:42.of Dolly Parton! There is a whole section of disenfranchised American

:11:43. > :11:49.society who will support Donald Trump. That was Tammy Wynette. Stand

:11:50. > :11:55.by your man. It was, it was. There is a whole section and some of them,

:11:56. > :11:59.there is a whole section of American society that no matter what Donald

:12:00. > :12:06.Trump does they will vote for him. They are so out of sync with

:12:07. > :12:11.mainstream American politics. It is also to do with the fact that there

:12:12. > :12:16.are two generally quite unpopular candidates here. The very strange

:12:17. > :12:19.thing is that he is standing against a female who could be the first

:12:20. > :12:23.female President of America and the sisterhood has not got back behind

:12:24. > :12:28.her whatsoever. And, actually, they run the risk of not knowing what is

:12:29. > :12:32.going to happen in a couple weeks time because ultimately it could be

:12:33. > :12:39.elected. Sometimes it is hard to be a woman. In the Observer, Nicola

:12:40. > :12:42.Sturgeon... At least, I find it is. Nicholas Sturgeon, starting pledges

:12:43. > :12:46.for a new independence vote to save Scotland from high Brexit. She has

:12:47. > :12:49.been saying the same thing consistently now ever since the

:12:50. > :12:53.referendum on June 20 three. Basically she is trained to make

:12:54. > :12:59.overtures all the time to suggest that Scotland, who voted 66% to

:13:00. > :13:04.remain should be given a vote in terms of independence so we can then

:13:05. > :13:07.go it alone to make its own deal with the European Union. The problem

:13:08. > :13:10.is that the European Union has consistently said that they don't

:13:11. > :13:16.think so. Donald has refused to meet her. France and Germany has said

:13:17. > :13:21.that they will deal with the UK only. I don't know what she will get

:13:22. > :13:26.out of this ultimately. After all, she is talking to an audience that

:13:27. > :13:33.very much wanted to stay in the EU. If we are in for? Given that the

:13:34. > :13:36.commitments and the level of the referendum was that unless this

:13:37. > :13:41.situation changed materially, I think there is a lot of to-ing and

:13:42. > :13:45.fro-ing in horse trading. I think it would be one of the great ironies of

:13:46. > :13:48.history if the Brexit broke up the union. That would be very funny.

:13:49. > :13:53.Northern Ireland will not want waters with the South. Other people

:13:54. > :13:57.may not share your sense of humour, Tony. That is it for the papers.

:13:58. > :14:04.Thank you very much. We rattled through them. Purchase a newspaper

:14:05. > :14:06.tomorrow, that will keep us going. Next up is the film review.
