:00:17. > :00:32.Hello and welcome to the Paper. Good evening. Before we hear from them,

:00:33. > :00:41.let's look at the front pages. Let's start with the Metro. It leads with

:00:42. > :00:46.the news that net migration has followed. The never features the

:00:47. > :01:01.dramatic picture of the waves whipped up by Doris.

:01:02. > :01:14.The i top story includes an interview with Michael Gove. The

:01:15. > :01:27.Daily Express looks at storm Doris. The Times leads with a story about

:01:28. > :01:32.students. The Guardian says that recent quality will be threatened

:01:33. > :01:42.within the force. The Daily Mail leads with a story about tumble

:01:43. > :01:52.dryers. What a mix. A real mix of stories. Doris features heavily. The

:01:53. > :01:58.Metro has decided to read on the latest migrant figures. They all

:01:59. > :02:05.kinds of reported in a different way. It's all how you want to read

:02:06. > :02:09.the figures. Metro says that migrants could UK after Brexit

:02:10. > :02:17.fault. Net migration is actually up. It is just slumming. A lot of these

:02:18. > :02:28.figures are focusing on the Polish and to give the

:02:29. > :02:34.Bulgarians are taking the place is. I think that the focus is on the

:02:35. > :02:38.number of Eastern European immigrants that came here in the

:02:39. > :02:42.first wave in the first group of eight countries. You pointed out the

:02:43. > :02:55.remaining and the body of years. That is on the Financial Times. It

:02:56. > :03:02.seems to be as ever, complicated. Lots of people would like to think

:03:03. > :03:07.that immigration is straightforward. More people are coming in but even

:03:08. > :03:14.more people are coming out. Yes, where they are from is interesting.

:03:15. > :03:18.The people from the EU aid, the Eastern European countries that

:03:19. > :03:27.joined that were allies to come during 2011, many seem to be going

:03:28. > :03:32.home. Bulgaria and remaining, given freedom of movement in 2014, make up

:03:33. > :03:39.20% of all immigrants from the European Union. Is this to do with

:03:40. > :03:46.the Brexit fault? Are they coming in before the door slams shut? -- is

:03:47. > :03:50.this do with the Brexit fault back? We will see more squabbling over

:03:51. > :03:54.numbers and immigration will be read as a story for a long time. The

:03:55. > :03:59.number of students coming to study seems to be going down. That is

:04:00. > :04:07.interesting. There is a wider issue of how that pushes up the costs for

:04:08. > :04:12.domestic students. What is the knock-on effect for us? Is that the

:04:13. > :04:19.intended outcome of Brexit? Probably not? What the Brexit voters want is

:04:20. > :04:27.less immigration and there will be a knock-on effect. The former number

:04:28. > :04:34.ten chief is criticising the civil service. Yes, what a man he is. This

:04:35. > :04:40.is the man that famously put top-secret documents in the bin. He

:04:41. > :04:50.said he would cut public spending driven to slither to one LX and --

:04:51. > :05:00.during the 2001 election campaign. He says that civil servants hide

:05:01. > :05:08.behind jargon. The union, not surprisingly, says that being in

:05:09. > :05:13.Government he cut their pay, maybe that has nothing to do with it. It's

:05:14. > :05:21.strange that he is talking about it. Let's move on to the Daily

:05:22. > :05:24.Telegraph. We've been hearing from the Northern Ireland Secretary that

:05:25. > :05:30.says that the troubles and quirky as unfair to soldiers. He says that you

:05:31. > :05:33.cannot keep investigating soldiers that were involved in the Northern

:05:34. > :05:41.Ireland troubles for years and years. It cannot be and open ended

:05:42. > :05:48.in quarry. He says that you should be focusing on uterus. -- focusing

:05:49. > :05:55.on the temperatures. You can see both sides of the story. There were

:05:56. > :06:00.some soldiers from the 60s and 70s that do not know when this will come

:06:01. > :06:08.back to them. There are a lot of victims that start care. They just

:06:09. > :06:12.want closure. Why is this coming out now? Because of the Stormont

:06:13. > :06:22.elections? There was a backbench debate about it. There were very few

:06:23. > :06:25.MPs. It is a kind of story that the Telegraph likes. Strangely, the

:06:26. > :06:33.minister says that he has called for a new system. He is the minister,

:06:34. > :06:39.why doesn't he just do it? Clearly it fits with the Stormont elections

:06:40. > :06:43.coming up next week. We will see the impact on that. Another story on the

:06:44. > :06:50.Telegraph. Chaos warning over business rates. The Government seems

:06:51. > :06:54.to be changing their mind about the business rates. Game of the business

:06:55. > :07:02.not sure about the business rates they will be playing. -- they will

:07:03. > :07:05.be paying. Is it chaos? I think it's fair to say... Chaos is an

:07:06. > :07:12.intriguing work because the Prime Minister said yesterday there

:07:13. > :07:17.wouldn't be more money and the local Government minister said yes, there

:07:18. > :07:25.will be. People say this is chaos. It is the second day in a row that

:07:26. > :07:31.this story has had this work. -- this story has had this word

:07:32. > :07:35.attached to it. We also know that governments like to test policies

:07:36. > :07:41.out and see what the reaction is before they actually present

:07:42. > :07:49.through. The times are offering most of the front page to absolute

:07:50. > :07:56.heartbreak for some students. Students are being offered degrees

:07:57. > :08:01.over two years. It will just cost you a bit. But then you can get into

:08:02. > :08:10.work of us in. That's not really the idea of going to university, let's

:08:11. > :08:14.be honest! You spend less time it going to summer holiday and you can

:08:15. > :08:22.squeeze your studies into a more expensive to your course. -- two

:08:23. > :08:27.your course. Most students don't know what to do after I would like

:08:28. > :08:31.extra time to think about it. -- what to do after and would like

:08:32. > :08:41.extra time. There is an interesting perspective there that anybody who

:08:42. > :08:48.is not an undergraduate or is trying to squeeze study in around other

:08:49. > :08:59.things. I would be really around anything that is shoring tuition

:09:00. > :09:01.fees going up. -- tuition fees going. The do room is mitigating its

:09:02. > :09:16.front page to the huge waves. That was the picture in London. In

:09:17. > :09:26.London, someone's and roller-coaster runway. It is actually a weather

:09:27. > :09:33.bomb, not just a storm. That is the technical... I think there is a loss

:09:34. > :09:42.of, it was a windy day and it is very sad, there were some horrific

:09:43. > :09:46.accidents. A storm gives more front-page credibility because it

:09:47. > :09:51.has a name. It passes the test of what people will talk about in the

:09:52. > :09:59.pub. Everybody is talking about tourists.

:10:00. > :10:06.Everybody is talking about it. Interestingly it is called Doris.

:10:07. > :10:10.Apparently storms with female names are regarded less threatening than

:10:11. > :10:19.the storms with male names. What is the next one, Evan? UN, I think.

:10:20. > :10:29.It'll be interesting to see if that will be more threatening. -- Ewan.

:10:30. > :10:33.On Twitter? I'm being cynical. It is a Met Office, not a stunt, but it is

:10:34. > :10:38.a way of getting attention both on the Met office and the weather. It

:10:39. > :10:44.is designed for people to take the weather more seriously. A story

:10:45. > :10:48.inside the times. The housing crisis clogs up canals. This is an old

:10:49. > :10:54.story for me because this has been going on in London for a long time.

:10:55. > :10:58.People opting for boats rather than houses. The route between little

:10:59. > :11:01.Venice and Regents Park is a motorway, they say. It is nice. It

:11:02. > :11:09.isn't a motorway, it is nice and pretty, it is pleasant. There have

:11:10. > :11:12.been complaints. Lots of complaints from residents who live along the

:11:13. > :11:16.canal about the noise and the pollution and the letter from the

:11:17. > :11:22.amount of canal boats. The pollution is a pretty good point, because,

:11:23. > :11:31.they do charge out some horrific fuel fumes. And smoke. And smoke

:11:32. > :11:35.yeah, maybe it is time... The point is, people are doing it. It is a

:11:36. > :11:41.London story. Because even in the copy it says that it'll happen in

:11:42. > :11:47.Birmingham and Manchester, as well. But house prices are crazy in

:11:48. > :11:53.London. Living on a riverboat seems like a cheap and cheerful option.

:11:54. > :11:59.Consequently, loads are taking to it. There is a survey saying more

:12:00. > :12:04.than half are doing it for financial rather than lifestyle reasons. Is it

:12:05. > :12:08.as romantic as it seems? Somebody says it is cold and cramped and I

:12:09. > :12:13.love it. We must leave it here. Thank you for taking us through the

:12:14. > :12:22.papers. Thanks for watching. You can see all of the Papers on the

:12:23. > :12:27.website. And you can watch the programme, as welcome if you so wish

:12:28. > :12:40.on iPlayer. Thanks to you all. Good night.

:12:41. > :12:42.After a very stormy day today I'm pleased to say
