trade deal in Brussels, following weeks of uncertainty.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:14.:00:16.

With me are the Home Affairs Editor of the Evening Standard,

:00:17.:00:21.

Martin Bentham, and the broadcaster Rachel Shabi.

:00:22.:00:24.

We also call you a writer and journalist, Rachel. Nice to have you

:00:25.:00:28.

here. Let's look at the front pages. The Telegraph leads on what it

:00:29.:00:30.

describes as the financial crisis It says nearly half of NHS

:00:31.:00:33.

authorities in England are drawing up plans to cut hospital beds

:00:34.:00:37.

and a third propose to close or downgrade Accident

:00:38.:00:39.

and Emergency departments. The Independent leads

with the US Election campaign - it shows Jennifer Lopez

campaigning with Hillary Clinton as she tries to appeal

to the hispanic population. As the latest polls show

:00:50.:00:52.

Donald Trump may be winning over That is following the new FBI

:00:53.:00:55.

enquiry into Mrs Clinton's e-mails. The paper says a group of MPS say

:00:56.:01:05.

Theresa May's claims that the government is putting

:01:06.:01:10.

?10 billion extra into the National The Bank of England Governor's

future is the front page It says Mr Carney is likely to make

:01:14.:01:16.

a statement this week ending speculation that he will step down

:01:17.:01:20.

before Britain leaves the EU. The devastation of Italy's

:01:21.:01:23.

earthquake makes the front page of the Metro, the worst

:01:24.:01:25.

quake in nearly 40 years. a Republican, of meddling in

:01:26.:01:28.

politics as it opens a new inquiry into Hillary Clinton days before

:01:29.:01:38.

the country chooses We will start with the Financial

:01:39.:01:49.

Times, Mark Carney stands ready to serve a full eight year term at the

:01:50.:01:53.

Bank of England. It was a bit controversial when he did not sign

:01:54.:01:56.

up for the full amount in the first place. To be fair to him, the reason

:01:57.:02:02.

was he has a family, four daughters, and they all had to come over here

:02:03.:02:07.

to settle. That is what he said at the time, because he was not sure

:02:08.:02:11.

how it would go, so committed to five years and would stay on. Last

:02:12.:02:16.

week or so, there was speculation he would not stay on, because he has

:02:17.:02:22.

been under attack from pro-Brexit MPs, and was upset by something

:02:23.:02:25.

Theresa May said about economic policy in her conference speech, at

:02:26.:02:31.

the Tory party conference, that he was going to decide and announce

:02:32.:02:34.

this week that he wasn't going to stay. Now the Financial Times says

:02:35.:02:39.

he is, although it is heavily caveat it. It is a great journalistic

:02:40.:02:44.

story. It talks about leaning strongly to towards the state in his

:02:45.:02:47.

post, so they are nailing their colours firmly to the mast, whilst

:02:48.:02:53.

at the same time in classic journalistic fashion giving

:02:54.:02:55.

themselves an escape route if he somehow decides later this week that

:02:56.:03:00.

he isn't going to. It is not certain, but it would be useful to

:03:01.:03:05.

have that continuity as we leave the European Union. You would think so,

:03:06.:03:10.

wouldn't you. I find it quite strange that there are, as you say,

:03:11.:03:15.

members of the Conservative government that have been

:03:16.:03:20.

undermining him, shall we say? Making comments that aren't entirely

:03:21.:03:27.

supportive. It seems a strange time to want to rock the boat in this

:03:28.:03:35.

way. The accusations are of him that during the EU referendum, and since

:03:36.:03:40.

then, he has been gloomy about the economic forecast. Well, you might

:03:41.:03:46.

just say that he has been value neutral, and the forecast is gloomy,

:03:47.:03:49.

as opposed to him spinning it in that way. It does seem a bit

:03:50.:03:56.

ridiculous to be making these comments about him. And certainly,

:03:57.:04:00.

at this time when you would need continuity. I think, beforehand, it

:04:01.:04:07.

is not what he has said since, but before the referendum, suggesting

:04:08.:04:10.

the likelihood of a recession if we voted for Brexit, and that growth

:04:11.:04:15.

would go down and it was likely to have a negative effect in the

:04:16.:04:18.

short-term, that was seen as a red rag by some people, and he was

:04:19.:04:24.

criticised in a select committee omitted before the vote. And of

:04:25.:04:29.

course, some of that has not been proved quite correct. It is not

:04:30.:04:33.

entirely incorrect that the sterling value has gone down, but we haven't

:04:34.:04:38.

seen that effect in the short-term, we haven't seen a recession, but it

:04:39.:04:42.

is possible we could do so at some point. Like when we leave the EU.

:04:43.:04:47.

Which is what has forecast was. When we leave the EU, there will be a

:04:48.:04:52.

recession. We haven't left yet. I then think he did say that. I have

:04:53.:04:57.

got to say that I think he was giving perhaps... he was attacked

:04:58.:05:03.

for saying anything at all and intervening in a political way. I

:05:04.:05:07.

voted for Brexit, and didn't believe the scare stories, but I think he

:05:08.:05:12.

was doing what he felt to be the right thing. He argued that the time

:05:13.:05:16.

that it would be negligent not to have said what he thought. I think

:05:17.:05:20.

it is right that he does stay on, and hopefully he will do. If he is

:05:21.:05:25.

asked for his opinion, he will give it, wouldn't you think. Let's look

:05:26.:05:29.

at the Daily Telegraph. Why almost got the wrong paper. Hospital beds

:05:30.:05:42.

and a loonie units face axe -- accident and emergency units face

:05:43.:05:47.

axe. It will appeal to the government to step in, won't it,

:05:48.:05:50.

Rachel. The committee has said that almost half of NHS authorities are

:05:51.:05:58.

drawing up emergency plans to cut hospital beds, but also to close

:05:59.:06:01.

down accident and emergency departments. This is, as a

:06:02.:06:06.

consequence of what they have been warning about for some time now, and

:06:07.:06:10.

the warnings have become more and more severe of this massive

:06:11.:06:16.

shortfall in cash. The NHS now needs a huge cash injection to save it and

:06:17.:06:24.

it comes at a time when we have a government that is not only

:06:25.:06:29.

underfunded health and social care for the past eight years, but shows

:06:30.:06:34.

no signs of wanting to reverse that. I think the government would query

:06:35.:06:37.

what you have said that, because I think the real question is that they

:06:38.:06:43.

say they have put in eight billion, but Theresa May says she has put in

:06:44.:06:50.

10 billion. The government says it has delivered that, and it has put

:06:51.:06:55.

more in now, and that has questioned, and Sarah Wollaston, the

:06:56.:06:57.

chairman of the select committee, who is writing a letter tomorrow,

:06:58.:07:01.

saying the figure is not right. Although more money has been put in.

:07:02.:07:04.

The problem is that the extra money that is going in, it is not

:07:05.:07:09.

sufficient to cope with the vast the increasing demand in all sorts of

:07:10.:07:13.

ways. That is the classic problem the NHS has faced year after year,

:07:14.:07:19.

after year. It is a question of priority. We want a functioning NHS,

:07:20.:07:23.

and we need to invest more in it. There is the issue of demand. It is

:07:24.:07:28.

the same as GPs, they are overloaded because more people go to them. The

:07:29.:07:33.

GPs are overlaid did because the NHS is trapped. It is a knock on effect.

:07:34.:07:41.

It is something that seems to get more and more problematic. This is

:07:42.:07:45.

suggesting that the consequence of this is fairly dire things will

:07:46.:07:50.

happen. There were warnings, weren't there. There have been for quite

:07:51.:07:57.

some time. We are starting to see what it might look like. Let's stay

:07:58.:08:02.

with the Daily Telegraph, Britain to ditch its unfair fishing quotas

:08:03.:08:09.

after Brexit. This is supposed to provide a good deal, says George

:08:10.:08:12.

Eustace, the fisheries minister. What is going to change? One

:08:13.:08:18.

straightforward change would be that we are not part of the EU fishing

:08:19.:08:22.

quota system. Then we would strike a new arrangement of some sort, of

:08:23.:08:27.

which that is reinstated. The basic point about exiting the EU is that

:08:28.:08:31.

we would regain control of our fishing waters, fish our own waters

:08:32.:08:35.

and decide who fishes them. The argument is that therefore we would,

:08:36.:08:40.

in effect, be able to fish more and not have to restrict our fishing in

:08:41.:08:44.

the way that we do at the moment. Spanish trawlers most notoriously,

:08:45.:08:49.

babe may want to come in and take a large amount of fish that we have.

:08:50.:08:53.

That is the lodgement. The reality may be a different kettle of fish!

:08:54.:08:59.

If there aren't quotas of some sort, we could have overfishing again.

:09:00.:09:06.

We will overfishing on our own terms would be your argument. We might. Of

:09:07.:09:18.

course, fishing goes on and so we can still fish in a responsible way,

:09:19.:09:25.

just more of it. So there are two questions about how me fish can be

:09:26.:09:30.

taken out, and how the fish that is the right amount to response we take

:09:31.:09:33.

out is divided between the different countries that can fish. It is a

:09:34.:09:41.

whole other thing to sort out. Theoretically, what George Eustace

:09:42.:09:44.

says is correct. But he doesn't very much specified. He just suggests

:09:45.:09:48.

that things will change any fundamental way and so on. We would

:09:49.:09:51.

hope to get a better deal. We would hope to get a better deal. You can

:09:52.:09:56.

apply that line to just about everything. We don't know, but we

:09:57.:10:01.

feel like we will be OK. We have hidden cards that we haven't played

:10:02.:10:06.

yet. It has been a bugbear for people in fishing towns for a long

:10:07.:10:10.

time. So of course, to those people it will be a very appealing

:10:11.:10:19.

argument, perhaps. Let's look at the i. Trump closes the gap on Clinton

:10:20.:10:25.

to two points, the polls say. The Democrats hit out at latest

:10:26.:10:28.

investigation. This was an investigation that we understand the

:10:29.:10:35.

FBI has opened, e-mails on Hillary Clinton's Private e-mail account.

:10:36.:10:39.

But there has been criticism of the FBI director for doing it so close

:10:40.:10:43.

to the election. The Democrats and others, to be fair, have pointed out

:10:44.:10:49.

that it is a bit strange to have made these comments about the

:10:50.:10:55.

e-mails just ten days ahead of the election. Particularly since we

:10:56.:10:59.

don't really know whether this is a new batch of e-mails, it could be an

:11:00.:11:03.

old batch, it could be something that has already been investigated,

:11:04.:11:07.

they may not even be her e-mails. There are a lot of unknowns about

:11:08.:11:12.

this. A, it wasn't qualified in that way, and it being released so close

:11:13.:11:20.

to the election has caused ire in Hillary Clinton's the income. Harry

:11:21.:11:29.

Reid, who is a senator, a Democratic senator, leader in the Senate, he

:11:30.:11:33.

has come out saying that the FBI director may have broken the law by

:11:34.:11:37.

publicly disclosing these steps so close to election day. But if he

:11:38.:11:41.

hadn't and it had come out later, would that have been worse? Like

:11:42.:11:47.

Mark Carney, if he does not say something before a crucial vote, you

:11:48.:11:58.

win or lose either way, don't you? In this case, if he had sat on it

:11:59.:12:03.

and it had turned out to be incriminating, and after the

:12:04.:12:06.

election Hillary Clinton wins and there is some terrible revelation,

:12:07.:12:12.

which is unlikely, but he would be accused of covering up. He is down

:12:13.:12:19.

to either way. The reality probably is, fortunately for Hillary, it has

:12:20.:12:24.

cast a sudden cloud, hasn't it, over her prospects -- dammed either way.

:12:25.:12:32.

It is something that has been bad news, and a bullet of weak point in

:12:33.:12:37.

her armoury come and it has opened up, which is not good news for her.

:12:38.:12:43.

In the Guardian, Brexit. German family seeks British citizenship.

:12:44.:12:49.

Tens of thousands of German dues fled the country and want to become

:12:50.:12:57.

citizens. Why do they feel the need to do this? They want to be members

:12:58.:13:01.

of the EU. They don't want to lose their EU passport according to

:13:02.:13:07.

German authorities, 400 applications from the UK are being processed.

:13:08.:13:12.

There are another 100 or so enquiries in the pipeline.

:13:13.:13:18.

Obviously, the commentaries that this would be difficult, a lot of

:13:19.:13:23.

these petition Jewish families might be families that fled Germany, fled

:13:24.:13:33.

the Holocaust, fled the Nazis. A significant psychological challenge

:13:34.:13:37.

is how it is put. There are also lots of Israelis living in Berlin,

:13:38.:13:41.

for examples. There has been a sort of reckoning with all of that as

:13:42.:13:46.

well. And if you years ago, Spain said that Sephardic dues, dues that

:13:47.:13:55.

were expelled from Spain in 1492, before the Muslims were kicked out

:13:56.:14:00.

by the Catholic rulers there, they can get Spanish citizenship. --

:14:01.:14:08.

dues. I take all of this with a pinch of

:14:09.:14:23.

salt. It is not big numbers. What the motivation is is completely

:14:24.:14:31.

unknown. Is it an interesting thing? Vaguely interesting, but it is the

:14:32.:14:37.

idea that everyone will flee the country whoever wins the election

:14:38.:14:40.

and so on. In 15 seconds, tell us why Bangladesh are on the front page

:14:41.:14:44.

of the Guardian, Martyn. They have beaten England for the very first

:14:45.:14:50.

time. Great for them. Not good for us, a bit humiliating, but good luck

:14:51.:14:54.

to them. They have become an increasingly strong Test match

:14:55.:14:56.

playing team, and that has got to be a positive thing. 108 runs they have

:14:57.:15:02.

beaten them by. That is it for the papers this hour. But we will be

:15:03.:15:10.

back, it it is Sunday and you get a double dose.

:15:11.:15:12.
