:00:00. > :00:00.pursuit quartet in Rio. Congratulations to hurt them.

:00:00. > :00:19.Now on BBC News here's Gavin Esler with The Papers

:00:20. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to our look at The Papers. Let's have a look at the

:00:30. > :00:33.front pages. The Observer leads and the claim by the British bankers

:00:34. > :00:37.Association that some of the UK's biggest banks are preparing to be

:00:38. > :00:43.located outside the UK next year overpacked -- Praxiteles.

:00:44. > :00:45.The Times also mentions Calais and refugee arrivals,

:00:46. > :00:48.but their main story is an account from reporter Louise Callaghan

:00:49. > :00:50.of the Iraqi mission to liberate the city of Mosul

:00:51. > :00:53.The situation in Calais also dominates the Telegraph's front

:00:54. > :00:56.page, but the paper focuses on claims that the Home Office

:00:57. > :00:59.ignored warnings about the issues - such as age checks -

:01:00. > :01:02.And the Express claims to have an exclusive on its front

:01:03. > :01:05.page, a row between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew over the official

:01:06. > :01:09.roles of Andrew's daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.

:01:10. > :01:18.Leading banks set to pull out of the UK early next year overpacked said.

:01:19. > :01:22.City chiefs are poised to hit the relocated button. Is this Project we

:01:23. > :01:30.are again or somehow project fact when it happens? It is probably a

:01:31. > :01:34.bit of both. He is saying, rather graphically, that some banks are

:01:35. > :01:38.offering their fingers over the relocated button and are thinking of

:01:39. > :01:43.going. They would say that. They are lobbying for their own interests. We

:01:44. > :01:48.have heard this before from the banks. There have been reports of

:01:49. > :01:52.the 70,000 jobs could go. There is a fundamental truth which is that the

:01:53. > :01:57.banks like being in London. While there is talk of them being lured to

:01:58. > :02:10.Paris or Frankfurt, bankers enjoy living in London. His lobbyist for

:02:11. > :02:14.banks lobbying for bikers. Bikers also like Monday -- like money and

:02:15. > :02:22.if they thought they had a better chance in France, the France -- the

:02:23. > :02:25.French were trying to lure them to Paris with little adverts. I think

:02:26. > :02:30.they will go where they think they make the biggest profits and they

:02:31. > :02:35.can afford to let up on these leases in London which are overpriced

:02:36. > :02:40.anyway. Restaurants are better in Britain than in France, anyway.

:02:41. > :02:45.Paris isn't as interesting in as many ways. It is thanks to the

:02:46. > :02:49.bankers that we have such fantastic food in London and all these things

:02:50. > :02:55.because they have pumped money through London for 20 years. They

:02:56. > :03:00.ordered the most sympathetic lobby group after 2008. They have become

:03:01. > :03:06.literally pantomime villains. With some justification. The problem is

:03:07. > :03:09.as an economy we are over relied on the financial sector, so this is

:03:10. > :03:15.part of the intense lobbying campaign with the government. It is

:03:16. > :03:19.special pleading if you like, but it is pleading the government cannot

:03:20. > :03:25.ignore because they are important to the economy. The Observer also have

:03:26. > :03:32.this. 50 refugee girls arrive after U-turns by officials. They also have

:03:33. > :03:38.Kerry Mulligan clutching a toy bear. What do you make of this story and

:03:39. > :03:45.the way in which some people who are celebrities, Lily Allen as well,

:03:46. > :03:49.have come out and talked about this? I am not sure what the use of

:03:50. > :03:53.celebrities does except to make people more cross. As a woman, it is

:03:54. > :03:57.lovely to see girl children being brought in because one of the

:03:58. > :04:03.biggest problems for all people deal with the refugee crisis is that all

:04:04. > :04:07.we see is young men. To most of this, even when we see our

:04:08. > :04:12.home-grown young men standing on the corners in groups all we see is a

:04:13. > :04:15.trouble. The idea we will bring in even more young men who stand on

:04:16. > :04:20.street corners and get cross with each other is pretty terrifying to

:04:21. > :04:25.people. It is very important to be reminded that there are girls there

:04:26. > :04:30.and young women there because we see them possibly as an integrated

:04:31. > :04:39.future. They tended to be invisible in much of the coverage. When the

:04:40. > :04:43.young men came in, there were a lot of photographs. I am not sure why

:04:44. > :04:50.that is. Are we protecting them from traffickers or whatever. We seem to

:04:51. > :05:01.treat women differently and we are not sing enough girls and women. The

:05:02. > :05:05.Observer coverage is about the young girls and the pictures that have

:05:06. > :05:08.been around, they are very young. The journey between 13 and 17. There

:05:09. > :05:19.is a problem of perception because the first draft of people coming in

:05:20. > :05:21.looked of dubious age. There were warnings from border officials that

:05:22. > :05:27.many migrants were posing as children to get into the country

:05:28. > :05:30.when they were substantially older. There is good coverage around the

:05:31. > :05:34.fact that the latest group of refugees are girls. It is

:05:35. > :05:48.unfortunate that are in the second set of arrivals, rather than the

:05:49. > :05:53.first. Even the Brexit problems are that you are only seeing male

:05:54. > :06:04.refugees coming in. Again, it is that sense, to me, of an importation

:06:05. > :06:07.of aggression. Good for Kerry Mulligan for speaking up. It

:06:08. > :06:11.wouldn't have got the coverage if it wasn't for this sort of celebrity

:06:12. > :06:17.endorsement. It is what it is. It is done for a reason, quite rightly. It

:06:18. > :06:26.expands the coverage and that is a good thing. There is a different

:06:27. > :06:32.take from the Telegraph. Warnings as child migrants try to cross the

:06:33. > :06:36.Channel. It is the typical photo of young men with their faces covered,

:06:37. > :06:46.which makes us feel anxious because those images we associate with

:06:47. > :06:53.violent activities. If you juxtapose that with the Observer story, it is

:06:54. > :06:59.two different sides of the same story. It depends where you sit and

:07:00. > :07:03.look at it. The Telegraph have a lot of the warnings. There is a

:07:04. > :07:07.suggestion Chief inspectors of workers have warned that people were

:07:08. > :07:13.posing as migrants and children as much as three years ago. Suggestions

:07:14. > :07:17.that council officials offered to help with age verification have been

:07:18. > :07:21.shunned by various authorities. The Telegraph agenda is to pull together

:07:22. > :07:25.all the fears and preconceptions about the fact people are trying to

:07:26. > :07:29.pose as children to get in and reaffirming it. The picture is the

:07:30. > :07:33.key part of that. There is not too much mentioned about the group of

:07:34. > :07:40.young girls the kingpin. It is the focus on the bogus element. One of

:07:41. > :07:47.my favourite cartoonists is on the front page. It says children on

:07:48. > :07:51.board apparently. On the front page of the Telegraph we also have a

:07:52. > :07:54.story which will please a lot of people. Nuisance phone call bosses

:07:55. > :08:02.to face Avei million pounds in fines. You get these nuisance phone

:08:03. > :08:12.calls and that they could face fines. They come often via internet

:08:13. > :08:16.phones so that is no redress because in the old days you could keep them

:08:17. > :08:21.hanging on until they were paying huge phone bills if nothing else for

:08:22. > :08:27.the price of knowing you. Now they bring fire escape or similar and

:08:28. > :08:33.just stay on for ever. I think the problem with this isn't that most of

:08:34. > :08:38.these companies close. They go into liquidation as soon as they are

:08:39. > :08:45.fined. Somebody phoned up and it was a person who said how are you today?

:08:46. > :08:54.I thought this is completely anonymous. They are just trying to

:08:55. > :08:57.come up with an introduction other than I heard you have been involved

:08:58. > :09:00.in an accident. The key thing is pinning it on the directors. They

:09:01. > :09:05.liquidate the company is immediately so what the government is saying,

:09:06. > :09:09.good work has been done on this by consumer groups who have led the way

:09:10. > :09:12.on this in terms of saying that crackdown on these people. Let's see

:09:13. > :09:15.if it works. It is all good work has been done on this by consumer groups

:09:16. > :09:18.who have led the way on this in terms of saying that crackdown on

:09:19. > :09:20.these people. Let's see if it works. The result was in theory, but I

:09:21. > :09:24.don't think it. These calls, unfortunately. You can of course

:09:25. > :09:28.ring the telephone service and get your phone number ticking off these

:09:29. > :09:40.lists. I do it regularly for me and my mum. Top consumer tips. The

:09:41. > :09:47.Sunday Times. I was entrapped by Isis Dons. This is about Mosul and

:09:48. > :09:51.other parts of that conflict. It points out the risks people, war

:09:52. > :09:55.correspondents, have to take to do their job. It is an extremely

:09:56. > :09:58.dangerous job and I think it will get more dangerous for these

:09:59. > :10:03.embedded correspondents were those on the outskirts of Mosul as they

:10:04. > :10:07.get closer to the city and the fighting is likely to get harder and

:10:08. > :10:12.more difficult and dangerous. There is already a suggestion that as many

:10:13. > :10:17.as 250 men and boys used as human shields have been killed in Mosul.

:10:18. > :10:22.It is going to get worse before gets better and the idea that Islamic

:10:23. > :10:25.State or so embedded with the population just that everybody at

:10:26. > :10:30.greater risk, both soldiers and civilians. They have been there for

:10:31. > :10:33.more than two years. Children are not quite to school for two years

:10:34. > :10:42.because they have been indoctrinated. It is terribly sad.

:10:43. > :10:48.On a point of process, I am not sure I like personal stories on front

:10:49. > :10:57.pages. I want the personal stories inside, even on a Sunday newspaper

:10:58. > :11:02.and a more conventional story on the front page. I don't want something

:11:03. > :11:12.that starts with the reporter on the front page. It doesn't diminish her

:11:13. > :11:15.bravery in doing the job. She doesn't have to be there in the

:11:16. > :11:23.sense she is doing her job and is reasonably well-paid by the Sunday

:11:24. > :11:27.Times for doing it and that is very different for the people who are

:11:28. > :11:31.trapped in their everyday. One of the reason I like Sunday newspaper

:11:32. > :11:39.is that they have done something like what the Observer has done.

:11:40. > :11:43.Three pages on Trump and Clinton. It has great graphics. This is rather

:11:44. > :11:48.good. What they do is they say what would happen if you took out a black

:11:49. > :11:54.voters or female voters or college educated voters or Hispanic voters?

:11:55. > :11:58.How would it change the result? It shows, America is not unique in

:11:59. > :12:06.this, how divided America is between these various groups. It also draws

:12:07. > :12:11.a parallel with the UK with the Brexit foot. It looks at different

:12:12. > :12:15.states, different areas. It looks at how white menfolk, generally Trump.

:12:16. > :12:21.Of the black and Hispanic population thought, were women. It basically

:12:22. > :12:25.says that Clinton is ahead by 48-2, the margin of error is still pretty

:12:26. > :12:33.good, she is less unpopular than Trump, which seems to be key to this

:12:34. > :12:40.election. It is 48-42, but a margin of error of 4%. The other big

:12:41. > :12:46.question which is raised here is you don't count people who don't

:12:47. > :12:52.normally vote. If they come out in big numbers it will change

:12:53. > :12:58.everything. Trump only came top in the graphic that showed no black

:12:59. > :13:07.voters. In every other combination, Clinton is ahead. That is quite

:13:08. > :13:14.interesting. Our final story of the day is Ed balls. Out on a limb. This

:13:15. > :13:20.is from the mail on Sunday. Why you should never ask Ed for a lift. What

:13:21. > :13:25.is this about? He looks like a butcher. The EP member when a

:13:26. > :13:36.butcher would wear a waistcoat and a hat? They were dancing. The looked

:13:37. > :13:40.like Mr Morris, the old butcher in Morris when I was growing up,

:13:41. > :13:48.sweeping some of the street and throwing around. He did really well

:13:49. > :13:54.until that particular left and he just didn't pull off that list and

:13:55. > :14:01.that is what cost. He is very stiff. He looked like a hammer, not like a

:14:02. > :14:05.woman. He is the first to admit he is the worst dancer on the show but

:14:06. > :14:09.everyone loves a try. Some of these people have been in West End

:14:10. > :14:13.musicals. They are pretty good at it. It would be interesting to see

:14:14. > :14:18.if he survives because he comes bottom of the leaderboard but does

:14:19. > :14:27.better on the public vote. You can't help but admire him. He is like John

:14:28. > :14:33.Sergeant but not so charming. There is a rigidity in him which is

:14:34. > :14:37.difficult. You didn't notice it, I always thought he would be the sort

:14:38. > :14:45.of man who would be good in a fight. When you see him it is like he is

:14:46. > :14:51.frozen. I admire anyone who goes on it. In terms of his progress, he is

:14:52. > :14:55.a pretty good. A lot of were pretty good at the start. Those of us who

:14:56. > :15:00.are challenged by two left feet just admire the guts of taking part,

:15:01. > :15:07.never mind how he did. That is it for The Papers. A reminder, we look

:15:08. > :15:22.at the front pages every evening at a quarter to 11 on BBC News.

:15:23. > :15:27.A cold start to the day, feeling like an autumnal morning out there.

:15:28. > :15:28.Some mist and
