:00:00. > :00:11.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment.

:00:12. > :00:15.First, the headlines: The US Presidential candidate

:00:16. > :00:20.Hillary Clinton has demanded full details of the latest email

:00:21. > :00:22.investigation by the FBI into whether they contained

:00:23. > :00:28.Her Republican rival, Donald Trump, called the news the biggest

:00:29. > :00:35.French President Francois Hollande has called on Britain

:00:36. > :00:38.to take its share of the remaining child migrants who are still

:00:39. > :00:41.in Calais, after the camp known as the Jungle was

:00:42. > :00:48.MPs calling for action on mobile phone coverage say it's unacceptable

:00:49. > :00:50.that visitors to Britain often get better coverage than

:00:51. > :00:58.A report said 17 million customers had poor reception at home.

:00:59. > :01:00.The Royal Clarence in Exeter, described as England's oldest hotel,

:01:01. > :01:05.has collapsed after a devastating fire.

:01:06. > :01:08.More than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze at the 300 year

:01:09. > :01:27.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:01:28. > :01:33.With me are Mihir Bose, columnist at the London

:01:34. > :01:35.Evening Standard, and the Assistant Editor of the Times,

:01:36. > :01:44.The Observer leads with reaction to the FBI reviewing

:01:45. > :01:45.its investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails,

:01:46. > :01:47.with senior Democrats accusing the bureau's head

:01:48. > :01:53.of compromising its political neutrality.

:01:54. > :01:57.That story's also featured on the front

:01:58. > :02:00.of the Sunday Times, which claims that Hillary Clinton's

:02:01. > :02:04.The Mail on Sunday criticises the BBC for a show

:02:05. > :02:07.featuring a transgender story-line, which it says is available

:02:08. > :02:11.A novel solution for the country's housing crisis is unveiled

:02:12. > :02:14.on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph.

:02:15. > :02:17.It says the government is to offer help to build

:02:18. > :02:26.While the People carries an interview with the mother

:02:27. > :02:30.of murdered toddler Jamie Bulger, who says she's living in fear

:02:31. > :02:47.Let's now begin our review and we are starting with the story, the

:02:48. > :02:54.October surprise! The only story, Clinton and those e-mails. Why, what

:02:55. > :02:57.actually in them, are they any difference to the e-mails that were

:02:58. > :03:04.already investigated and why is James Comey apparently going on?

:03:05. > :03:09.Because of course it is supposed to be politically independent, the FBI.

:03:10. > :03:14.We are already hearing that he is a Republican. Also, the way he has

:03:15. > :03:18.presented it has allowed Donald Trump to say that there must have

:03:19. > :03:23.been a terrible offence for the FBI to reopen the enquiry. This is just

:03:24. > :03:29.a preliminary look. We don't even know, unless he knows what's in the

:03:30. > :03:35.e-mails, we don't know. The problem for Clinton is that she has this if

:03:36. > :03:40.you like problem of trust. American people, even though some of them are

:03:41. > :03:45.voting for her, don't actually like her or believe in her. This story

:03:46. > :03:49.opens up that count. So far, what we've had since the revelations of

:03:50. > :03:54.the way Trump behaved and his comments about women and so on, the

:03:55. > :04:05.focus has always been on the macro. Revelations coming out, one after

:04:06. > :04:12.the other. -- being on Trump. This laptop on which the e-mails were

:04:13. > :04:19.held was the laptop of Antony Wiener and we only know about him because

:04:20. > :04:25.of his misdeeds. And he seems to have shared his laptop with his

:04:26. > :04:29.wife. That's why it was seized, as a result of an investigation into

:04:30. > :04:39.another offence. Of course we don't know what these e-mails have. This

:04:40. > :04:43.is one of the elements of the story that's been brought out, in terms of

:04:44. > :04:48.the FBI. Why have they come out with this now when even they don't know

:04:49. > :04:53.what is included and the head of the FBI was told not to go ahead with

:04:54. > :04:57.this. The attorney general, to whom he is supposedly answerable, told

:04:58. > :05:03.him not to do this and it seems as if, I've been reading some stuff out

:05:04. > :05:07.of America tonight, the agents at the FBI themselves hadn't actually

:05:08. > :05:12.examined the e-mails. There is no time to do this before the elections

:05:13. > :05:17.because one supposes that needs to be done properly. So it's a

:05:18. > :05:20.tremendous mess. What is one of the papers is reporting it is already

:05:21. > :05:27.narrowing the poll lead that Hillary had. If you read his letter it

:05:28. > :05:32.suggests something without actually saying it. Let's turn to the Sunday

:05:33. > :05:38.Times, which also leads with this story. The headline, that Hillary is

:05:39. > :05:41.at war with the FBI, it will be interesting to see whether James

:05:42. > :05:48.Coney does see out his ten year term. He was of course appointed by

:05:49. > :05:54.Barack Obama in 2013. They do talk about the polls as well on the front

:05:55. > :05:58.page of the Sunday Times. This also illustrates the unique collection we

:05:59. > :06:03.have in America. The next president of Hillary Clinton would be taking

:06:04. > :06:07.office having to do something about the FBI. I mean, that's not

:06:08. > :06:12.something that happened in the past. What would you think if you were one

:06:13. > :06:15.of the 20 million Americans who have already voted? They might be wanting

:06:16. > :06:22.to change their minds and those key swing states, will this be something

:06:23. > :06:25.where those people who feel this fundamental distaste at the

:06:26. > :06:32.Washington ruling class might think this is just another example of

:06:33. > :06:35.their poor behaviour, of their shadowy dealings, and decide Donald

:06:36. > :06:42.Trump, the man who says he is the anti- politician, decide to vote for

:06:43. > :06:45.him? It will be interesting to see what the polls do say, because

:06:46. > :06:49.although we have been pointing out that they are narrowing, this was

:06:50. > :06:55.before the story broke. So they are not really reflect evolver last 24

:06:56. > :06:58.hours, so we will see what happens. All this is when Hillary Clinton

:06:59. > :07:04.proves herself to be the commander in chief and shows such cool rap is

:07:05. > :07:07.that people admire her. Who knows? And the state vote might be

:07:08. > :07:13.different to the national vote. Staying with the Sunday Times.

:07:14. > :07:20.Putin. He isn't swimming or posing with tigers, IT soft power. He is

:07:21. > :07:27.becoming very close it seems to prominent groups in the Conservative

:07:28. > :07:33.Party. A group founded by Margaret Thatcher and another group, very

:07:34. > :07:40.historic. It seems the leaders of these groups have had visits funded

:07:41. > :07:46.by the Russians, to go to Crimea and basically they are saying, we

:07:47. > :07:50.shouldn't treat Putin as a pariah. Sanctions should be lifted. And it

:07:51. > :07:54.actually says the group has called for cooperation agreements with

:07:55. > :07:58.Russian intelligence. Do you think they should have accepted those

:07:59. > :08:02.troops in the first place? You would think there would be a big question

:08:03. > :08:11.mark. Why on earth should Hebe inviting them? He just wants to

:08:12. > :08:17.bring as many people as possible on his side. You just came back from

:08:18. > :08:23.Moscow, did he not invite you? No, no invitation. There was a lot of

:08:24. > :08:27.complaints about the sanctions, in those shops laden with goods and

:08:28. > :08:31.looking at these gorgeous cars, one can't quite see what impact they are

:08:32. > :08:37.having. Talking to people who come back from Russia, clearly Putin

:08:38. > :08:42.still has a lot of support in Russia. I suspect for the new few --

:08:43. > :08:52.the next few days or weeks we will see what's really behind this. What

:08:53. > :08:58.is the latest take on Brexit? This is a story which says that Michael

:08:59. > :09:04.Gove has co-founded a group with if you like the blessing of Boris

:09:05. > :09:08.Johnson. Really? They are still in mailing each other, who knows what

:09:09. > :09:14.the e-mails will be saying?! This group suggests there are 14

:09:15. > :09:18.countries with a total worth of 17 trillion who are willing to sign

:09:19. > :09:24.agreement with us and these countries are twice the size of the

:09:25. > :09:29.countries of the EU, that it trades with, provided we get out of not

:09:30. > :09:35.just the free movement but also the customs union. How significant is

:09:36. > :09:43.that? For me this raises one big question, be -- the Nissan deal. I

:09:44. > :09:51.would like to read what was pledged to Nissan in that letter, where they

:09:52. > :09:55.were obviously given assurances that they would be able to continue to do

:09:56. > :10:02.business exactly as before. If we have this kind of complete Brexit,

:10:03. > :10:07.total Brexit, one can't work out how those agreements that are obviously

:10:08. > :10:14.going to be made with Nissan and other companies could possibly be in

:10:15. > :10:19.the lamented. As you say, we need those letters to be revealed. You

:10:20. > :10:25.are right. When we have this hard Brexit, when we leave the customs

:10:26. > :10:29.union... Where would we go? The point they are making is we can do

:10:30. > :10:33.trade deals with China, with India, other countries, more favourably

:10:34. > :10:39.than what we get with the EU. A lot of our trade deals are witty 28

:10:40. > :10:42.countries at the moment. Do you think we would have an easier go of

:10:43. > :10:47.it with Canada, because they struggle with the EU? This is all

:10:48. > :10:50.within the realm of context. I find it surprising that the countries

:10:51. > :10:56.with which we could be trading with don't seem to be named. This figure

:10:57. > :11:01.of 17 trillion, where is that from? I am always suspicious of a figure

:11:02. > :11:04.like that. And I don't think we take into account that countries like

:11:05. > :11:08.China and India have their own agenda. Even countries like

:11:09. > :11:12.Australia have moved on from what they were 30 or 40 years ago. So

:11:13. > :11:16.they have their own agenda and why they would be willing to trade with

:11:17. > :11:20.us, certainly. But why that trade would be better than what we have

:11:21. > :11:24.with the EU is very debatable. Again, so many questions with

:11:25. > :11:29.Brexit. We are waiting for the button to be pressed. We are going

:11:30. > :11:33.to stay with the Telegraph. I am going to direct this straight to

:11:34. > :11:39.you, because there are many people who wouldn't know what a modern

:11:40. > :11:45.prefab is. What is an old prefab? Looking at that headline you think,

:11:46. > :11:50.I don't know about that. The post-war housing solution, that's

:11:51. > :11:56.what they were. We now use the word modular, which means factory made

:11:57. > :12:01.and it works for the Swedes. 80% of homes in Sweden are modular built,

:12:02. > :12:08.prefab. They are better than jerry-built? Yes, and in America it

:12:09. > :12:13.is popular. It is quicker, it don't need much scaffolding and we need to

:12:14. > :12:18.start tilting homes very quickly. We need about 250,000 new homes every

:12:19. > :12:22.year and at best we built about 120,000 at present. So we've got to

:12:23. > :12:28.change the way we build. Remember, there have been some big government

:12:29. > :12:33.pledges made on this and people are waiting for them to deliver. I have

:12:34. > :12:38.one question for you, since you are an expert. Will we have better phone

:12:39. > :12:48.reception with this prefabs than we have at the moment? I think that

:12:49. > :12:52.would mean a great many more masts that people are happy to have at the

:12:53. > :12:57.moment. Getting back to the Observer. Theresa May. She is

:12:58. > :13:03.managing families set to be worse off. This is not what she was

:13:04. > :13:06.promising. This is another question raised about Theresa May. You will

:13:07. > :13:11.remember all of the things she said outside Downing Street, after she

:13:12. > :13:15.became Prime Minister. About how she would help families who were finding

:13:16. > :13:21.it very difficult to manage and things like that. This story is

:13:22. > :13:24.saying that unless film -- Philip Hammond's statement reverses some of

:13:25. > :13:28.the decisions taken by George Osborne in his budget, these

:13:29. > :13:34.families will be worse off. There have been lots of cuts and they give

:13:35. > :13:41.a figure, but a couple with two children, living at the living wage

:13:42. > :13:46.level, will be ?2000 worse off by 2020. The cost of living is rising

:13:47. > :13:50.and if you are a low income families spend much more of your income on

:13:51. > :13:54.food and those price rises are going to start coming through in the

:13:55. > :14:00.markets. We are already seeing them. It is not just Marmite, it is other

:14:01. > :14:06.stuff. We have been warned. It has been a pleasure. Thank you very

:14:07. > :14:12.much. That was The Papers. Coming up on BBC News, The Film Review and of

:14:13. > :14:15.course plenty more on the website. Have a lovely evening.
