:00:17. > :00:19.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:23.With me are Baroness Ros Altmann, former Pensions Minister

:00:24. > :00:31.and Mihir Bose, author and Evening Standard columnist.

:00:32. > :00:36.The FT leads with employers calling for more clarity over the status

:00:37. > :00:38.of EU Nationals after Brexit - following the fall in

:00:39. > :00:44.The Metro has more on the woman accused of wasting police resources

:00:45. > :00:50.The Telegraph says new "driverless" lorries are to be trialled on UK

:00:51. > :00:52.motorways next year - despite warnings over

:00:53. > :00:58.It says up to three wirelessly connected vehicles could

:00:59. > :01:04.The Express has more on Britain's lowest net migration

:01:05. > :01:09.And the I has girls scooping most of the top marks in this year's

:01:10. > :01:24.The Mirror has predictions of travel, is this bank holiday weekend

:01:25. > :01:30.as millions are addicted to clog the Lords. And the Guardian approach for

:01:31. > :01:35.cars on the bad minister to rethink our thoughts on foreign students, as

:01:36. > :01:38.figures show that less than 5000 at stake their Visa. Lester Bento at

:01:39. > :01:44.least some of those over the last ten minutes.

:01:45. > :01:52.The express is basically saying that migration has fallen since EE you.

:01:53. > :02:04.I'm not sure that would be a big surprise to be honest. They are

:02:05. > :02:10.calling it able Brexodus, with lots of people leaving you in and gone

:02:11. > :02:15.back to Europe. They are at the lowest level for three years, and

:02:16. > :02:30.the express is sort of celebrating this, and it is saying now we have

:02:31. > :02:35.to leave you... Of course, more than half of aggression was from the EU

:02:36. > :02:40.in the first place. We could have stopped that altogether, it was

:02:41. > :02:46.nothing to do with the EU, but there is a net migration figures, because

:02:47. > :02:48.part of the reason for the dissatisfaction that led to believe

:02:49. > :02:57.what was probably to do with the number of people coming to this

:02:58. > :03:02.country. They express has patched a story in a particular way, Edward

:03:03. > :03:06.nominally emphasise that this was their first evidence of Brexit, even

:03:07. > :03:10.though we haven't looked yet left, and it also contradicts some of the

:03:11. > :03:13.claims being made that it will be difficult to get staff, and there

:03:14. > :03:18.might be star sorted is and so on until poor. And it points out that

:03:19. > :03:25.migration from the EU is higher than it was for the Eastern European

:03:26. > :03:29.states key men and things like this. You hang that there might be other

:03:30. > :03:38.takes on this. Take us to the FT. They have a different take. And in

:03:39. > :03:44.my opinion, a more balanced it. It covers it more comprehensively, the

:03:45. > :03:49.point about overseas students that Ros mansion. It points out that it

:03:50. > :03:54.was believed that 100,000 overseas didn't overstayed, in fact the

:03:55. > :03:57.actual figure is 4600. That is greater dramatic fall. It is quite

:03:58. > :04:04.interesting that in the express the same story is presented the

:04:05. > :04:08.Government closing down bogus colleges, largely, this just seems a

:04:09. > :04:11.long piece of counting summer. You'd bridges that many overseas student

:04:12. > :04:16.of a saint by closing down bogus colleges. Inmates also the point

:04:17. > :04:23.that already there has been a 17% fall in farm workers applying to,

:04:24. > :04:31.during the summer, and for people wanting to take up jobs in nursing,

:04:32. > :04:35.so there is quite impact there of the people not staying on, wanting

:04:36. > :04:40.to leave, and therefore the impact on the economy. It could be quite,

:04:41. > :04:44.tip. I think the most important thing for me in this story is that

:04:45. > :04:49.employers are becoming seriously concerned. This EBI and enter Judah

:04:50. > :04:54.directors have both expressed concerns today. Serious concerns

:04:55. > :04:59.about struggling to recruit enough workers to do the work that needs to

:05:00. > :05:07.be done if business is to be able to continue as it has been. There is a

:05:08. > :05:11.real downside to the emigration story, which is every can't get

:05:12. > :05:17.enough skilled workers coming in, or enough workers coming and to do the

:05:18. > :05:20.jobs that we needed doing, then that will have a real serious impact on

:05:21. > :05:26.the economy, potentially. And employers are saying that EU

:05:27. > :05:30.citizens seem to be very nervous about overcoming here sting here and

:05:31. > :05:35.a way that they haven't seen before, and they want the Government to

:05:36. > :05:38.clarify what EU workers' rights are going to be, and of course that is

:05:39. > :05:44.what the Government and a EE were trying to do. The figures are that

:05:45. > :05:50.the unemployment rate is a loss since 1975. Brexit supporters would

:05:51. > :05:55.say that is as law, but that sell these is significant number of

:05:56. > :06:00.people without a job, so why can't those vacancies be filled by British

:06:01. > :06:08.people? They haven't got the skills. You are not going to get to 0%. This

:06:09. > :06:12.is an important one, actually, because the Prime Minister has come

:06:13. > :06:20.under a great deal of pressure from people with an Reina party to

:06:21. > :06:27.exclude students from the numbers of net migrants. And she wants to count

:06:28. > :06:31.them still. She has insisted so far that they should be counted, but

:06:32. > :06:36.this story is that the way in which the Government has tried to justify

:06:37. > :06:40.keeping the numbers of students included has been exposed as a bit

:06:41. > :06:44.of a mad. Even Nicky Morgan they think that the reasons given gone

:06:45. > :06:51.ring true. For example, the Government has said that it believed

:06:52. > :06:55.up until now that about 100,000 students who have come here to study

:06:56. > :07:01.don't go back after full stop in fact, the latest figures suggest

:07:02. > :07:08.that the true number is only 4600. If we can be sure that the students

:07:09. > :07:15.coming here do actually go back, then they are not truly emigrants at

:07:16. > :07:19.all, and in fact... The problem again is that fewer students are

:07:20. > :07:24.gradually coming and. 27,000 fewer students have applied to study at

:07:25. > :07:27.British universities. This is the central question. Yes, you don't

:07:28. > :07:32.want students to oversee, but what about those who want educated here,

:07:33. > :07:35.because that dividend is a generational dividend. The local

:07:36. > :07:39.home, they will have been linked with this country. That is what

:07:40. > :07:43.other highly developed societies do, that is what America does. Every

:07:44. > :07:48.don't take that into account, we are paying a curious numbers game which

:07:49. > :07:52.actually can be various misleading. It is also crucial for the

:07:53. > :07:55.universities, because the universities rely on overseas

:07:56. > :07:59.students coming in to help their budget. Let's talk about those who

:08:00. > :08:12.might be going to university in the future and those who have done their

:08:13. > :08:18.GCSEs. Girls outperforming boys. They kind of do every year. This is

:08:19. > :08:26.the new grading system. We have gone away from the old one. Nine to me

:08:27. > :08:31.suggest to me that somebody gets 9%. What is and testing is that the

:08:32. > :08:36.girls that have done well have got 60% on grade nine, but at the same

:08:37. > :08:41.time, the overall pass rate has sank to their lowest level in nearly a

:08:42. > :08:46.decade, so I think this is a system that has been, if you like, tested,

:08:47. > :08:51.and I think these results don't actually give us eco-as to how well

:08:52. > :08:57.it is working. Which is how bound to be the case. That is what they

:08:58. > :09:01.headteachers are saying. Reversing this sheer scale of the changes

:09:02. > :09:04.means you can't really compare the results this time than with the

:09:05. > :09:08.previous results, and the whole system has got to bed down. Only

:09:09. > :09:12.three subjects have changed. Everything else has been the same.

:09:13. > :09:15.It is only endless language, English literature and maps that have got

:09:16. > :09:21.the new gradings. -- English language. It is important to say

:09:22. > :09:35.that the A-level results as usual that buys had overtaken girls. We're

:09:36. > :09:44.catching up. In the mail, page,. -- page two. This is also something

:09:45. > :09:51.that the Prime Minister has been signalling for quite some time,

:09:52. > :09:56.which is that she once too, if you like, have justification for the

:09:57. > :10:00.extremely high-level paid for some top executives, so forcing companies

:10:01. > :10:08.to publish the ratio for top bosses' paid to the pay of the average

:10:09. > :10:11.worker. Also, Greg Clark was together workers more say in the

:10:12. > :10:15.boardroom. I actually think that that is a really good idea, it is

:10:16. > :10:21.something that Germany does very well. They have unions and workers

:10:22. > :10:23.represented on their board, it much more collegiate, collaborative

:10:24. > :10:28.approach, and actually that could be very good for British business, I

:10:29. > :10:33.suspect. But they have backtracked from that. The Prime Minister's

:10:34. > :10:37.original proposals were more far reaching. I think this is a very

:10:38. > :10:41.good thing if they can do it, but they need to do it, because our

:10:42. > :10:44.accounts historically have not presented much information on what

:10:45. > :10:49.people are boardroom level down. They have given it in a very cryptic

:10:50. > :10:55.fashion, you would have to be quizmaster to figure it out. As you

:10:56. > :10:59.know, and this is part of the unease in our society, that the disparity

:11:00. > :11:03.in income between those who are well of and those who are not well of, we

:11:04. > :11:09.are not using that Fresno from the Prime Minister balances that it is

:11:10. > :11:16.going, and that is a bad thing for society. And also, reward for

:11:17. > :11:18.failure is something that people can accept. Very often you see that

:11:19. > :11:24.failing companies are still banking huge sums. Let's go to the roads,

:11:25. > :11:31.and the front of the Telegraph. Driverless lorries to hedge UK

:11:32. > :11:36.roads. This is going to be lorries in convoys. Protruding, it has been

:11:37. > :11:41.called. The first lorry will have a driver, the next two will not have a

:11:42. > :11:50.driver, but there will be a driver setting and niqab. They will be

:11:51. > :11:55.going along, and it is worrying the motoring industry. They are worried

:11:56. > :12:04.that this could cause an enormous amount of problems, because it might

:12:05. > :12:08.have skewered the exits. This will be quite interesting. There's might

:12:09. > :12:17.involve football formation. Hybrid at work, I don't know? I am glad you

:12:18. > :12:23.have introduced some sport! Are you feeling uneasy about this? I we have

:12:24. > :12:27.to be mindful about what the motoring organisation say, they are

:12:28. > :12:31.the experts. Apparently they can't bite would be about the length of

:12:32. > :12:38.half a flip up edge. You might not be able to see road sign. This has

:12:39. > :12:44.already been done in America. Yes, but American motorways are very

:12:45. > :12:47.different. And them to raise are not as crowded, say you cannot

:12:48. > :12:52.necessarily say that it is fined over there so it is OK already are.

:12:53. > :12:55.I think we have to be cautious. Drivers who use their mobile phones

:12:56. > :13:00.as sat nav is no rest being banned from the road. I think this is

:13:01. > :13:04.really frightening. People do need to use their sat nav is, and the

:13:05. > :13:09.point is that even if you are touching the screen to change your

:13:10. > :13:14.route, and you attach your sat nav if you needed to change at it, you

:13:15. > :13:20.will get six points. Surely you should start before you touch it?

:13:21. > :13:25.The phone sat nav 's are much better sometimes than the other ones. That

:13:26. > :13:30.is the problem. If you are driving on a motorway, that is the problem.

:13:31. > :13:32.True. On that note of uncertainty, thank you both very much.

:13:33. > :13:36.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:13:37. > :13:40.It's all there for you, seven days a week at...

:13:41. > :13:43.And if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it
