:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Rosamund Urwin, columnist at the London Evening

:00:21. > :00:25.Standard, and political journalist Sean Dilley.

:00:26. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:29. > :00:34.Years" is the Metro's headline on the Autumn Statement.

:00:35. > :00:37.It says inflation will "wipe out wages growth" and quotes analysts

:00:38. > :00:40.saying it's the worst wages squeeze since World War II.

:00:41. > :00:42.The Guardian says the squeeze will be the longest in 70 years

:00:43. > :00:44.and repeats the warning from the Institute for

:00:45. > :00:47.Fiscal Studies that the effect of Britain leaving the EU will keep

:00:48. > :00:53.wages below 2008 levels for at least five years.

:00:54. > :00:56.The Mail's headline is, "Who are they trying to kid?"

:00:57. > :01:02.It says top economists are accused of Brexit doom-mongering.

:01:03. > :01:04.Paris terror attackers funded by UK benefits

:01:05. > :01:06.is the headline in the Telegraph, which reports the trial

:01:07. > :01:10.The Times reports that failures by the Metropolitan Police

:01:11. > :01:19.have left "young children at risk of abuse".

:01:20. > :01:21.A senior policing source tells the paper that "this is the most

:01:22. > :01:24.damning review in the history of Her Majesty's Inspectorate

:01:25. > :01:46.It has gathered pace of its own, this inquiry of sexual abuse in the

:01:47. > :01:50.football. Two more players linked to Newcastle supposed to come out

:01:51. > :01:55.tomorrow. The fear is we are only just seen the beginning of it.

:01:56. > :01:59.Absolutely. Here we have got another player, not named, who has contacted

:02:00. > :02:08.police and making allegations of abuse. It does feel as though we are

:02:09. > :02:14.seeing a domino effect where people who have not felt able to speak out

:02:15. > :02:21.suddenly feel that they have to come forward. You think the stigma they

:02:22. > :02:26.felt they faced for all these years, but at least people are now speaking

:02:27. > :02:30.out about it. The thing that surprises me is that in a number of

:02:31. > :02:35.these cases, they are talking about two paedophiles who were convicted.

:02:36. > :02:40.There was an opportunity for them to come forward and say he abused them.

:02:41. > :02:46.They only have the confidence to do it do it because someone else came

:02:47. > :02:53.out and told his story. We look at all the hysterical allegations of

:02:54. > :02:59.abuse and many institutions have been shown to be fact. We have a

:03:00. > :03:02.very macho industry here where you have premiership footballers

:03:03. > :03:09.potentially, possibly billions of pounds at stake, they do not want to

:03:10. > :03:14.play that aspect of their life out, and it is one of those industries

:03:15. > :03:16.where do you cool a business or whatever where things are dealt with

:03:17. > :03:26.in the locker room not the front pages of the paper. Does it surprise

:03:27. > :03:30.you that we have not had a statement from Crewe Alexandra in particular?

:03:31. > :03:36.We have heard from one victim today who was part of the historical case

:03:37. > :03:40.involving this coach and he said they have had 18 years and today

:03:41. > :03:44.they are saying, we need to consider what we are hearing. It is not a

:03:45. > :03:52.great look. I think they need to make a statement. They have had all

:03:53. > :03:57.this time. It is not as though they have had two days, they have had all

:03:58. > :04:02.these years. But there is a line here is that the number of players

:04:03. > :04:08.to contact the union is in double figures. So we are talking about

:04:09. > :04:18.something that seems really quite wide-ranging. Potentially bigger

:04:19. > :04:23.than Jimmy Savile? It is almost hand on heart is a service. If anybody is

:04:24. > :04:27.watching now, footballer or anything else, you should not be afraid to

:04:28. > :04:31.speak out because now more than any other time in the past, people will

:04:32. > :04:35.listen to you. Unless there is some reason not to, you will be believed

:04:36. > :04:40.and it will be investigated properly. This absolutely could be

:04:41. > :04:42.bigger than Jimmy Savile because these people had access to

:04:43. > :04:49.vulnerable young children who wanted to play the ball. Well, we'll be

:04:50. > :04:54.investigated properly? The front story on the times, young children

:04:55. > :04:59.at risk of abuse. This is an investigation looking at historical

:05:00. > :05:04.cases and saying the Met are not doing a good job. This is utterly

:05:05. > :05:10.damning. They say three quarters of child protection abuse cases are

:05:11. > :05:16.poorly handled by the Met police. One of the issues it raises here is

:05:17. > :05:22.that the force has been more focused on burglary and vehicle theft. Those

:05:23. > :05:25.things are important but are they as important as child protection? I

:05:26. > :05:29.would argue absolutely not. And they have only taken a sample of cases

:05:30. > :05:36.here. We need to hear from the Met whether they think that is fair. But

:05:37. > :05:40.38 had to be referred for further investigation because they

:05:41. > :05:45.represented a continued risk the child or children. But a couple of

:05:46. > :05:51.points need to be made here. Police officers feel it has been

:05:52. > :05:56.politicised with regards to Tom Winsor, who went on to do a

:05:57. > :06:00.wide-ranging review of police performance. They feel they have

:06:01. > :06:06.been openly critical. Last year, H Aussie put out a report saying

:06:07. > :06:11.firearms holders were likely to be involved in mass shootings and

:06:12. > :06:17.failures. Ultimately, when you have cuts up to 40%, yes, when somebody

:06:18. > :06:21.makes these allegations, they need to be investigated, when your house

:06:22. > :06:27.get burgled, it needs to be investigated. Frankly, the police is

:06:28. > :06:32.not something you save money on. There is one thing in this story as

:06:33. > :06:36.well. They picked up two cases and in one of them, officers had wrongly

:06:37. > :06:41.close the case of the 13-year-old girl believed to be sexually active

:06:42. > :06:46.with an older man, and did not speak to the child. I think there is an

:06:47. > :06:51.attitude thing we need to address here. There was a belief that these

:06:52. > :06:55.were girls who were certain kind of girl. We really have to address

:06:56. > :06:59.that. If we want people to come forward, they have got to know they

:07:00. > :07:11.will not be dismissed like that. But you were about resources. No, but

:07:12. > :07:15.this is politics. Ultimately, the theory is that politics is separate

:07:16. > :07:19.from policing but the reality is different and you can look back to

:07:20. > :07:24.when the former Prime Minister David Cameron, for reasons we can

:07:25. > :07:28.understand, wanted resources put into the investigation of Madeleine

:07:29. > :07:32.McCann. He had told the Met commissioner to investigate. That

:07:33. > :07:35.became a massive political issue because theoretically, they are

:07:36. > :07:40.supposed to be separate. Ultimately, we do not just want a chiropody once

:07:41. > :07:47.we can see things being investigated. They need to be

:07:48. > :07:52.properly investigated. Burglaries, car thefts, child protection, all of

:07:53. > :07:57.it. Trouble is, when you look at the rest of the front pages, there is

:07:58. > :08:03.not much money around. They talk about borrowing going up. Most

:08:04. > :08:08.notably, the pay of the lowest paid in the country. The Guardian is not

:08:09. > :08:20.cheery reading for anyone struggling. Such an all encompassing

:08:21. > :08:27.phrase, jams. Who are the? Lots of people think they are the jams, even

:08:28. > :08:35.without... The people who actually applies to, probably a much smaller

:08:36. > :08:40.group. It is the ISS to say that actually, every household will be

:08:41. > :08:48.?1000 worse off a year. So even if you are not a jam, I don't know, a

:08:49. > :08:52.scone or something, people who cannot pay the electricity bill, but

:08:53. > :08:57.?1000, how many families and households can afford to lose that?

:08:58. > :09:05.One of the things we are likely to see is rising costs. I thought this

:09:06. > :09:15.immediately after the EU referendum and I panic bought meat, which

:09:16. > :09:19.proved to be rather fruitless! But I suppose people will feel those costs

:09:20. > :09:27.on things like food and electricity. They are. The pressure on sterling.

:09:28. > :09:32.They will simply see that the bill go up and that is really bad. It

:09:33. > :09:39.will happen. I travel around the continent a bit and bizarrely...

:09:40. > :09:43.People said they would not like the British because a Brexit but it has

:09:44. > :09:53.not been my experience. I was in Romania at the weekend, normally 100

:09:54. > :09:58.Romanian lei, it is ?105. As it gets more expensive the people, they will

:09:59. > :10:07.side with Tony Blair, who is saying, we must stop Brexit. Will they know

:10:08. > :10:12.to attach those two things? I don't know that people think, we will

:10:13. > :10:20.associated enough to think that. I personally would but, will they

:10:21. > :10:24.listen to Tony Blair? He is arguing, we need to persuade the public

:10:25. > :10:30.somehow. Maybe there is some sort of dossier. To persuade the public that

:10:31. > :10:33.there has been a vote but if we are negotiating on freedom of movement,

:10:34. > :10:40.access to the single market and how much we are maybe the public of

:10:41. > :10:46.which we are all members will say, hang on the second, what is the

:10:47. > :10:52.point of leaving? Will not some people be frustrated? The Telegraph

:10:53. > :10:56.has the same story. He says he could've held a referendum on the

:10:57. > :11:01.Lisbon Treaty in 2005 but said he would be likely to lose if he had.

:11:02. > :11:05.He said, I might lose so will not give you an option on Europe. It is

:11:06. > :11:13.said we live in a Parliamentary democracy. But at some point, as

:11:14. > :11:17.David Cameron said, that people needed and wanted a vote on Europe

:11:18. > :11:23.and that is what they want. So why is Tony Blair weighing in to try and

:11:24. > :11:28.stop it? It was the seventh most important issue in the last

:11:29. > :11:34.election. I do not remember is getting a referendum on the top six.

:11:35. > :11:39.And then of course, not only that, it was fairly low down people's

:11:40. > :11:47.pecking order but why did Cameron do it? To protect his own party. And it

:11:48. > :11:50.has worked. We have seen Prime Minister after Prime Minister. It

:11:51. > :11:53.was a self-inflicted headache on the EU because he mentioned it very

:11:54. > :11:59.early on but that will be the legacy he has got. Top of the times,

:12:00. > :12:05.another former Prime Minister weighing in, John Major, who was a

:12:06. > :12:11.big voice for Remain. The tyranny of the majority must not set Brexit

:12:12. > :12:15.turns. He is agreeing with Parliamentary democracy there. He is

:12:16. > :12:20.also saying there is a credible case for a second referendum and

:12:21. > :12:26.interesting to see Blair and major in such apparent agreement. They all

:12:27. > :12:28.agree on Europe. One could argue they agree because they have a

:12:29. > :12:37.deeper insight into this than many of us. His other point here, which

:12:38. > :12:43.is a fair one, is, why should the 48% also not have a say? The idea or

:12:44. > :12:51.they should have no say at all is rather ridiculous. Imagine how you

:12:52. > :12:57.would feel if you were an American voter. 100,000 votes in three states

:12:58. > :13:02.split Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, you took all three states.

:13:03. > :13:08.They are now having a recount England's quantum. It is on the

:13:09. > :13:15.basis they say they could be Russian hackers or whatever. The hackers

:13:16. > :13:23.said they would attack various systems. It is a machine voting

:13:24. > :13:31.rather than paper voting. That is the basis of the challenge. But of

:13:32. > :13:34.course, Mitch and has not declared still and whether we think it is

:13:35. > :13:42.fair or unfair, a lot of people think, 2 million votes... 126

:13:43. > :13:46.million people voted in the election. Does that not reflect

:13:47. > :13:52.everything around the world? How divided we are as a world? And also

:13:53. > :13:59.we could quite easily have a different conversation here about

:14:00. > :14:04.America's first female President. Funnily enough, the consensus of

:14:05. > :14:08.many of the swing voters is, any other candidate potentially, any

:14:09. > :14:10.other woman, would have beaten Donald Trump. We are out of time. I

:14:11. > :14:12.wish we could go on. Don't forget, all the front pages

:14:13. > :14:18.are online on the BBC News website, where you can read a detailed review

:14:19. > :14:20.of the papers. It's all there for you seven days

:14:21. > :14:23.a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and you can see us there too

:14:24. > :14:25.with each night's edition of The Papers being posted

:14:26. > :14:57.on the page shortly I want to bring you one line of news

:14:58. > :15:00.that is coming in from the Reuters news agency. Police say there is an

:15:01. > :15:01.operation
