:00:00. > :00:00.Clarence in Exeter, England's oldest hotel, has collapsed after a

:00:00. > :00:00.devastating fire. More than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze at

:00:00. > :00:22.the 300-year-old building. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:23. > :00:28.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me, Mihir Bose,

:00:29. > :00:32.columnist at the London Evening Standard, and the assistant editor

:00:33. > :00:38.of the Times, Tim Farron -- Anne Ashworth. First, let's take you

:00:39. > :00:43.through tomorrow morning's front pages. We're going to start with the

:00:44. > :00:48.Observer macro, which leads with reaction to the FBI reviewing its

:00:49. > :00:55.investigation into Hillary Clinton's e-mails, with senior Democrats

:00:56. > :00:58.accusing the head of compromising its political neutrality. That

:00:59. > :01:03.features on the front of the Sunday times, which claims that Hillary's

:01:04. > :01:09.lead in the opinion polls is falling. The Mail on Sunday

:01:10. > :01:12.criticises the BBC for a show featuring a transgender storyline,

:01:13. > :01:17.which it says is available on the CBBC website. In a novel solution

:01:18. > :01:21.for the housing crisis is unveiled on the front page of the Sunday

:01:22. > :01:27.telegraph. It says the government is to offer help to build 100,000

:01:28. > :01:33.modern prefabs. We are going to come to that story. First off, good

:01:34. > :01:40.evening. Let's start with a big story this evening, which has to be

:01:41. > :01:45.forced the only show in town is Hillary Clinton and those e-mails.

:01:46. > :01:51.What do they say? We'd like to know. Let's have a session with Yoda. Who

:01:52. > :01:57.knows. It's extraordinary. The Sunday papers are highlighted that

:01:58. > :02:02.the FBI director is a Republican, he was appointed by Barack Obama. The

:02:03. > :02:07.way he has brought the story out, there is some, if you like, support

:02:08. > :02:13.for the charge that he's done it more to help his former Republicans,

:02:14. > :02:19.because he hasn't done any details. He went against the orders of his

:02:20. > :02:22.boss, the Attorney General. Normally, the FBI, if you are

:02:23. > :02:28.looking into something, you have to say, this is what we have found,

:02:29. > :02:34.before you say, we are looking into it. Will it be enough to take the

:02:35. > :02:39.heat off Hillary? The letter is described as short on facts and

:02:40. > :02:45.heavy on innuendo. Nobody knows if these RBC e-mails that were examined

:02:46. > :02:51.and found to be OK in the summer. -- if these are the same. It

:02:52. > :02:55.facilitates Trump's rhetoric. He can now call her crooked Hillary. This

:02:56. > :03:00.is what he has been claiming and he now has justification. He is

:03:01. > :03:05.comparing it to Watergate, which we all know isn't true, but it is post

:03:06. > :03:10.factual, it's all assertions, innuendo, and they seem to be

:03:11. > :03:14.stronger than the facts. And the problem is that Hillary has always

:03:15. > :03:18.had a problem of trust. She isn't really liked. It's an election

:03:19. > :03:23.between two people who are not really liked. It's extraordinary. If

:03:24. > :03:27.you like, she doesn't have a bank of trust to draw on. And say, hang on,

:03:28. > :03:33.I haven't done anything wrong. If you have somebody who is already

:03:34. > :03:37.distrusted, that increases the pressure. A lot of people also

:03:38. > :03:44.putting the spotlight on the relationship between Huma Abedin and

:03:45. > :03:51.Mrs Clinton. It's a real soap opera, this huge loyalty that the Clintons

:03:52. > :03:57.have two Huma Abedin. They haven't thrown under the bus. She is the

:03:58. > :04:05.second daughter. Indeed, Bill Clinton married Huma Abedin and that

:04:06. > :04:09.husband of hers. Former husband. Who is the source of all this

:04:10. > :04:13.controversy. But this could be... This has been a jolt to the whole of

:04:14. > :04:18.the Clinton campaign and it might have an effect. We know that 20

:04:19. > :04:24.million people in America have already voted, but there are people

:04:25. > :04:31.still wavering. The swing states. The American election isn't decided

:04:32. > :04:36.with the popular vote. George Bush won the popular vote, Al Gore did,

:04:37. > :04:38.rather. It is decided by which state you win in the electoral college and

:04:39. > :04:45.so on. Somebody coming out from those states, some of those are too

:04:46. > :04:48.close to call. One doesn't know what the effect would be. Obviously

:04:49. > :04:57.people are saying the FBI's timing on this was... There is a hint of

:04:58. > :05:03.political thought was made to prove that would help the Republicans. One

:05:04. > :05:06.can't prove that. It has been labelled the October surprise. The

:05:07. > :05:11.media grabbed it, great timing for us but, in terms of a headline, but

:05:12. > :05:18.can Mrs Clinton really come back from this list of the polls are

:05:19. > :05:24.already reporting... They are narrowing. But that might be the

:05:25. > :05:27.initial reaction. When people think, actually, there is nothing in these

:05:28. > :05:32.e-mails, haven't we heard all of this before. There are lots of

:05:33. > :05:38.undecideds. Will they be bothered to vote? If people were undecided

:05:39. > :05:43.before and were favouring Clinton, we don't know for sure, and they

:05:44. > :05:47.will say, OK, Trump is bad, I'd never vote for him, but is Clinton

:05:48. > :05:53.any better? Why bother to vote? It could be an impact. For Clinton to

:05:54. > :06:00.win and win well, she needs a lot of people to vote. And, if Clinton does

:06:01. > :06:03.win, there is a risk that her presidency will become a lame duck

:06:04. > :06:09.because it will be mired in controversy from the start. Did she

:06:10. > :06:17.missed all of that Obama is Chris Doak you miss all of that Obama hope

:06:18. > :06:24.and change stuff? Let's turn to the Sunday times and a bit soft politics

:06:25. > :06:28.or soft power coming from Mr Putin. Yes, an interesting story by Andrew

:06:29. > :06:32.Gilligan, once of this parish, who is now an investigative reporter at

:06:33. > :06:39.the Sunday Times. He is saying that Putin has been making links with the

:06:40. > :06:44.right wing of the very powerful groups in the Conservative Party,

:06:45. > :06:49.like the Bruges group, set up by Mrs Thatcher, and funding trips for them

:06:50. > :06:56.to go to the Ukraine at other places, and many of them are making

:06:57. > :07:02.appreciative noises, saying... What is he up to? You know his links with

:07:03. > :07:06.Trump. We see Putin is this great pariah with no links with anybody

:07:07. > :07:11.responsible or sensible in this country, but this suggests he has

:07:12. > :07:15.been cultivating links, and many of them, or a couple of them have said,

:07:16. > :07:20.that maybe the sanctions the west has imposed should be removed. Does

:07:21. > :07:26.that mean the sanctions have been working? A lot of people have said

:07:27. > :07:31.that he just doesn't care. I was in Russia recently and people were

:07:32. > :07:36.complaining a lot. Not funded by Putin! I paid my own fair. They were

:07:37. > :07:41.complaining, but I didn't see much preparation in the shops. There is

:07:42. > :07:45.nothing to gain by going on these trips. The politicians must know

:07:46. > :07:51.that they will be discovered, having had their jolly to Russia or Ukraine

:07:52. > :07:56.paid for, and know that it will be bad for their name. Their

:07:57. > :08:01.reputations. But getting a bit of culture, that's important. There is

:08:02. > :08:08.something behind it. This isn't simply his reaction to, what was the

:08:09. > :08:13.call from Boris for protests outside the embassy? Boris says, we hate

:08:14. > :08:16.Russia so much that you should go and protest against the embassy,

:08:17. > :08:21.whereas there are members of his party going out to Crimea and same,

:08:22. > :08:25.Putin isn't all that bad. We don't hear from these politicians why they

:08:26. > :08:33.went and whether all of their conclusions were that flattering.

:08:34. > :08:36.Yes, but I think what we might hear some voices saying, we shouldn't

:08:37. > :08:42.just demonise Putin. We should have links with Putin. This might become

:08:43. > :08:46.a debate, if these people, if they are powerful in the Conservative

:08:47. > :08:50.Party. I am intrigued by the lying in this article, that the group

:08:51. > :08:58.called for a Coke cooperation agreement -- agreement with Russian

:08:59. > :09:05.intelligence. -- by the line. Russia are very good on drug cheating,

:09:06. > :09:10.things in sport. Will this throw any light on what their intentions are

:09:11. > :09:21.in Aleppo? What was the purpose of the? So many questions. Right,

:09:22. > :09:27.prefab. You can talk and talk and talk about this. One of the sections

:09:28. > :09:31.I headed in the Times is about housing, and we know there is a

:09:32. > :09:36.crisis. They have been big promises made by the new government, but they

:09:37. > :09:40.argue -- that the people who are just managing will be able to get

:09:41. > :09:46.houses and things will be better, and one way they say they will do

:09:47. > :09:52.this is by the prefab. What is this? Nobody calls it the prefab. They

:09:53. > :09:57.call it modular. Actually, the home is made in a factory. In Sweden,

:09:58. > :10:05.about 80% of homes are made in that way and, in America, about 40% in

:10:06. > :10:11.some states. It doesn't necessarily mean a rickety, poor quality

:10:12. > :10:15.building. Not jerry-built? No. It might be the answer, because

:10:16. > :10:23.goodness knows we need one. Would they look like IKEA houses? Not

:10:24. > :10:29.necessarily. From what this story says, these houses can be put up in

:10:30. > :10:35.48 hours or something, very quickly. Is quick and efficient. Have you

:10:36. > :10:39.ever spent time in one? There are lots of offices that are prefab Drew

:10:40. > :10:47.and you wouldn't know it. So it could be a good, possible solution.

:10:48. > :10:52.We built about 120,000 homes a year and we need about a quarter of a

:10:53. > :10:56.million. Something has to happen. That is the front page of the

:10:57. > :11:04.Telegraph, prefabs to solve the housing crisis. The Observer macro,

:11:05. > :11:11.it is Theresa May. Just managing, families set to be worse off. She

:11:12. > :11:15.was promising... This was her big thing ever since she got to Downing

:11:16. > :11:20.Street, that she wants to help people who are working around the

:11:21. > :11:25.clock. What this story is based on is that a study has emerged which

:11:26. > :11:29.shows that, if the budget cuts that Osborne made are not removed by

:11:30. > :11:36.Philip Hammond in his Autumn Statement, by 2010, a family with

:11:37. > :11:40.two children of four years old who are working within the constraints

:11:41. > :11:46.of the living wage will find that they are ?2000 worse off. So come

:11:47. > :11:49.and has to do something in the Autumn Statement. He has to

:11:50. > :11:55.backtrack. Otherwise what Theresa May is saying will make the position

:11:56. > :12:01.much worse. There is a big question here. Whatever he does on taxes,

:12:02. > :12:06.these households will be very badly hit by rising inflation. We've got

:12:07. > :12:12.wage is not rising very fast and beginning to get more expensive and,

:12:13. > :12:16.if you are a household like this, that is where your expenditure is,

:12:17. > :12:21.in the supermarket. You can tinker with taxes and benefits but, if

:12:22. > :12:31.people are finding it so much more expensive in the shops, what is

:12:32. > :12:35.and's room for manoeuvre? -- what is Philip Hammond's room for manoeuvre.

:12:36. > :12:42.A should probably stop eating Marmite! That is probably just the

:12:43. > :12:47.start of the price rises. Lets finish off an Ukip. This could be a

:12:48. > :12:54.first in a way, for the party. They are looking for peers. Is that

:12:55. > :13:00.right? It could be how Nigel Farage finally gets into Parliament. He has

:13:01. > :13:02.tried seven times to get a seat and hasn't succeeded in some

:13:03. > :13:11.Conservatives are saying there should be Ukip peers and they should

:13:12. > :13:16.be Baron Brexit. Isn't it great to have a story... This is making us

:13:17. > :13:21.smile. That's what a good front page should do, have a story that makes

:13:22. > :13:26.you smile. Farage in the Lords would provide us with a great deal of

:13:27. > :13:31.amusement, I would say. I think a lot of people would go to the Lords

:13:32. > :13:38.to hear him speak. How likely is it? I suspect you will be leading his

:13:39. > :13:42.party. There was a wonderful quote from a Ukip member who said they had

:13:43. > :13:47.had four leaders and they had all been called Nigel Farage. We suspect

:13:48. > :13:53.the next election for a leader will not go well and that Nigel will step

:13:54. > :13:57.in again. We shall see. We will end on that note. You will be back

:13:58. > :14:02.later. Very enjoyable, thank you. That is it.

:14:03. > :14:08.You'll both be back at half-eleven for another look at the stories
