:00:16. > :00:24.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment.
:00:25. > :00:33.With me is Martin, the deputy head of sport at The Sun. And the editor
:00:34. > :00:38.at the London Evening Standard. We will go through the papers in a
:00:39. > :00:42.moment. First off, a look at the papers. The Daily Telegraph.
:00:43. > :00:44.The Daily Telegraph claims that Royal Mail staff,
:00:45. > :00:47.as well as rail and airport workers, may strike over Christmas,
:00:48. > :00:49.leaving Theresa May facing pressure over "industrial chaos."
:00:50. > :00:52.The paper also notes Andy Murray's third Sports Personality victory.
:00:53. > :00:54.The Guardian also celebrates Murray's win, but focuses on claims
:00:55. > :00:58.that the justice secretary had prior warning ahead of the riot at HMP
:00:59. > :01:05.The Metro leads with former Chancellor George Osborne's verdict
:01:06. > :01:08.that his warnings about the UK being poorer after Brexit
:01:09. > :01:20.Brexit also dominates the Financial Times,
:01:21. > :01:23.but the paper focuses on fears about exit talks being delayed
:01:24. > :01:31.will mean banks leaving the UK for abroad.
:01:32. > :01:34.The Times claims that Britain is dumping overseas aid money
:01:35. > :01:36.into trust funds to try meet the country's annual target.
:01:37. > :01:39.And the Daily Mail leads with the claim that millions
:01:40. > :01:43.of pounds of UK aid money has been used to fund a talk show
:01:44. > :02:01.OK. We will begin. Lovely to see you. We will start with the
:02:02. > :02:09.Guardian. Liz Truss and Birmingham Prison. The disturbance of the major
:02:10. > :02:15.rioting, the prison has been out of control. It has been subdued. It is
:02:16. > :02:18.talking about how Liz Truss was warned two months ago about the
:02:19. > :02:24.dangers of such an incident at Birmingham. There were not enough
:02:25. > :02:30.staff. Quite a large prison, 1500 inmates, one of the largest in the
:02:31. > :02:35.country. It goes on to talk about the problem of drugs in the prison.
:02:36. > :02:43.One of those watchdogs has talked about this. The thing about this is,
:02:44. > :02:46.and the story quotes Nick, the Chief Inspector of the prison until the
:02:47. > :02:55.end of the year, he warned explicitly, as did his replacement,
:02:56. > :03:00.about the risk of legal highs, psychoactive drugs. They were
:03:01. > :03:05.creating a tremendously violent atmosphere imprisoned. This has been
:03:06. > :03:10.well-documented. This story shows that the secretary warned of the
:03:11. > :03:13.dangers of Birmingham, and predecessors had been warned about
:03:14. > :03:20.this risk actually buy the chief inspectors of prisons. For many
:03:21. > :03:28.years it has been growing, the concern about the levels of violent
:03:29. > :03:33.incidents in prison. Drugs being thrown over the wall and all sorts
:03:34. > :03:40.of things. And then cutting staff members by 30% since 2010. You have
:03:41. > :03:44.a situation where in essence there are increasingly unstable inmates in
:03:45. > :03:49.there. And at the same time, fewer and fewer staff to deal with them.
:03:50. > :03:56.It is a toxic problem unfortunately. The danger that has been spread.
:03:57. > :04:02.There is a suggestion from a prison in Hull. It is a bit of a tinderbox
:04:03. > :04:06.situation. It seems some have been involved in the instigation of the
:04:07. > :04:16.Birmingham issues. And it is clearly a growing concern. I also wonder
:04:17. > :04:20.sometimes how it can be avoided. It is all well and fine to talk about
:04:21. > :04:25.when these things happen. But whether the Justice Secretary or any
:04:26. > :04:33.civil servant can actually prevent random out sparks of violent. The
:04:34. > :04:37.two things are, the current Justice Secretary has not been in her post
:04:38. > :04:41.very long, and has inherited a problem that has been in the making
:04:42. > :04:46.since they cut the offices in prisons why such a large number
:04:47. > :04:51.since 2010 onwards. -- by. She has landed with this problem and now has
:04:52. > :04:56.to deal with it. The problem with her side is that it is actually not
:04:57. > :05:02.a problem, according to her, it is simple to deal with here and now.
:05:03. > :05:06.More numbers in fewer prisons, a better ratio between staff and
:05:07. > :05:12.prisoners, and we also need a better way of stopping drugs coming in.
:05:13. > :05:17.They talk about nets, don't they? Providing more nets and body scan
:05:18. > :05:22.is. You cannot throw them like that. If these things are coming in by
:05:23. > :05:27.drone it does not matter how big the nets are, these are co-ordinated.
:05:28. > :05:31.There are many instances where they could stop it. There was a killing
:05:32. > :05:36.of an inmate earlier this year. There were problems previous to
:05:37. > :05:40.this. But there was a report there were broken windows and drones were
:05:41. > :05:46.flying out of window ledges and going out through the window.
:05:47. > :05:50.Interestingly, the Times also has this story on its front page. I
:05:51. > :05:55.don't know if either of you picked up on the point that, I think the UK
:05:56. > :05:59.has the largest number of prisoners or people being sent to prison
:06:00. > :06:07.compared to the rest of Europe. I mean, you were saying... Are we
:06:08. > :06:12.going back to 20 years ago? Often there is the belief, and
:06:13. > :06:18.understandably, that I think you need to have two show you have a
:06:19. > :06:22.more Draconian sentencing policy. But the argument is all you do is
:06:23. > :06:27.institutionalise people more and make them more likely to offend when
:06:28. > :06:31.they come out. And you are putting them in small spaces designed for a
:06:32. > :06:37.particular number and having them share cells, et cetera. There is an
:06:38. > :06:41.argument we have been at that level for quite some time and the violence
:06:42. > :06:45.is now happening because there is in essence not enough staff. So they
:06:46. > :06:49.have said they are not prepared to pay for enough staff to cope with
:06:50. > :06:55.the numbers they have got. There are warnings by the chairman of the OA
:06:56. > :07:02.in Hull. It has been happening for years. Let us stay with the Times.
:07:03. > :07:06.But stay with the aid story. Dumping these incredible figures into trust
:07:07. > :07:11.funds. This is a toxic issue for many Tory MPs in particular, that
:07:12. > :07:19.David Cameron set this to get of 0.7% of GDP spent on aid. That is a
:07:20. > :07:25.very worthy objective and lots of it does achieve some good things. But
:07:26. > :07:28.there is the feeling, and this story reflects that, what has been
:07:29. > :07:34.happening, to make sure we meet that target, but the department for
:07:35. > :07:38.international development is putting money into these trust funds, and
:07:39. > :07:43.that money is sitting there in those funds. If you have a budget and need
:07:44. > :07:48.to spend it in a certain period of time, you get to the end and say you
:07:49. > :07:52.have not spent enough and you put it in a fund. What happens to these
:07:53. > :07:58.accounts? Literally just sitting there. Just sitting there? A large
:07:59. > :08:06.amount of it. ?4 billion apparently. And also the sheer scale, 0.7% of
:08:07. > :08:11.national income equating to ?12 billion this year alone which is a
:08:12. > :08:19.vast sum of money when we know there is other... Social care. Yeah. We
:08:20. > :08:27.understand international aid can be good to event legal migration,
:08:28. > :08:32.people fleeing their state of advance. If that is sitting on a
:08:33. > :08:35.bank account, that is clearly not satisfactory. The World Bank
:08:36. > :08:43.charging 240 million to UK taxpayers just defined what hasn't been spent.
:08:44. > :08:49.Andy Murray. -- just to fund. Yet another strike for Theresa May. The
:08:50. > :08:55.only thing keeping this country running over the last few days is
:08:56. > :09:01.elves, sleighs and reindeer. Everything is stopping. Trains are
:09:02. > :09:08.stopping. Flying as well. And now they will be a mail stoppage. A
:09:09. > :09:21.threat of a strike to prevent presence -- presents being
:09:22. > :09:29.delivered. I am a massive satsuma fan. The front of the Sun. Picking
:09:30. > :09:31.up the traffic story. This is a story suggesting... This is
:09:32. > :09:39.something already happening in London, the council has powers to
:09:40. > :09:45.police bus lanes and all those things. It is saying these powers
:09:46. > :09:49.are going to go from the police outside London to the local
:09:50. > :09:55.authorities. And of course, as you say, that will be more rigourously
:09:56. > :09:58.enforced. The police don't really like to do traffic enforcement any
:09:59. > :10:03.more. So many people will be hit by them now. Anyone in London would say
:10:04. > :10:08.they are pretty good at spotting any minor offence and you will get a
:10:09. > :10:14.fine in a number of days. With all those cameras. This will get
:10:15. > :10:21.people's blood boiling. Why don't people just not stop in bus lanes?
:10:22. > :10:26.They need to be aware of signals and all indications. Have you gone down
:10:27. > :10:30.a one-way street without knowing it or taken a wrong turn? People
:10:31. > :10:39.followed the Sat Nav. It says turn left. I blame my Sat Nav. I found
:10:40. > :10:49.myself in a spot where it is only for a bath. I thought, why am I in
:10:50. > :10:54.this spot? -- bus. Suddenly, click, click, I had a fine. Andy Murray,
:10:55. > :11:01.the front of the Guardian. He is great and popular and a deserved
:11:02. > :11:06.winner. He has been in a marvellous, magnificent... He is only popular
:11:07. > :11:10.now. Once he shared those tears after winning the Wimbledon final,
:11:11. > :11:20.people realised... Is that all it took? Loves a Gavin Lewis and human
:11:21. > :11:24.interest. We talk about England losing at the ball and we got so
:11:25. > :11:27.used to it that it doesn't even seem to matter any more but that has gone
:11:28. > :11:33.into the background. -- football. This is so significant. We need
:11:34. > :11:39.positive news in tennis. It has been a long time coming. We have had
:11:40. > :11:42.success in athletics, but tennis! He has been brilliant. But Edmund and
:11:43. > :11:54.others want to follow him. I know about Murray is that he is
:11:55. > :11:58.happy to be a role model, wants to be and wants to encourage kids to
:11:59. > :12:01.play. He'll do everything that he can to get kids on the court and
:12:02. > :12:05.that's great. Well played Andy Murray. All happened at the right
:12:06. > :12:09.time for him. Fantastic news. And on that note, we're going to have to
:12:10. > :12:12.say thank you and goodbye to both of you. It's been great fun. And that
:12:13. > :12:16.was the Papers tonight. Don't forget, all of the front pages are
:12:17. > :12:22.online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review of
:12:23. > :12:27.the papers. All there for you seven days a week. And you can see us
:12:28. > :12:32.there too with each night's edition of the Papers which is posted on the
:12:33. > :12:38.page shortly after we finished. So thank you to Martin Lipton and
:12:39. > :12:42.Martin Bantham. Coming up next is the Film Review. But from me, from
:12:43. > :12:47.the three of us actually, it's goodnight.
