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

With me are Baroness Ros Altmann, former Pensions Minister

and Mihir Bose, author and Evening Standard columnist.

The Express has more on Britain's lowest net migration

And the I has girls scooping most of the top marks in this year's

The Mirror has predictions of travel, is this bank holiday weekend

as millions are addicted to clog the Lords. And the Guardian approach for

cars on the bad minister to rethink our thoughts on foreign students, as

figures show that less than 5000 at stake their Visa. Lester Bento at

least some of those over the last ten minutes.

The express is basically saying that migration has fallen since EE you.

I'm not sure that would be a big surprise to be honest. They are

calling it able Brexodus, with lots of people leaving you in and gone

back to Europe. They are at the lowest level for three years, and

the express is sort of celebrating this, and it is saying now we have

to leave you... Of course, more than half of aggression was from the EU

in the first place. We could have stopped that altogether, it was

nothing to do with the EU, but there is a net migration figures, because

part of the reason for the dissatisfaction that led to believe

what was probably to do with the number of people coming to this

country. They express has patched a story in a particular way, Edward

nominally emphasise that this was their first evidence of Brexit, even

though we haven't looked yet left, and it also contradicts some of the

claims being made that it will be difficult to get staff, and there

might be star sorted is and so on until poor. And it points out that

migration from the EU is higher than it was for the Eastern European

states key men and things like this. You hang that there might be other

takes on this. Take us to the FT. They have a different take. And in

my opinion, a more balanced it. It covers it more comprehensively, the

point about overseas students that Ros mansion. It points out that it

was believed that 100,000 overseas didn't overstayed, in fact the

actual figure is 4600. That is greater dramatic fall. It is quite

interesting that in the express the same story is presented the

Government closing down bogus colleges, largely, this just seems a

long piece of counting summer. You'd bridges that many overseas student

of a saint by closing down bogus colleges. Inmates also the point

that already there has been a 17% fall in farm workers applying to,

during the summer, and for people wanting to take up jobs in nursing,

so there is quite impact there of the people not staying on, wanting

to leave, and therefore the impact on the economy. It could be quite,

tip. I think the most important thing for me in this story is that

employers are becoming seriously concerned. This EBI and enter Judah

directors have both expressed concerns today. Serious concerns

about struggling to recruit enough workers to do the work that needs to

be done if business is to be able to continue as it has been. There is a

real downside to the emigration story, which is every can't get

enough skilled workers coming in, or enough workers coming and to do the

jobs that we needed doing, then that will have a real serious impact on

the economy, potentially. And employers are saying that EU

citizens seem to be very nervous about overcoming here sting here and

a way that they haven't seen before, and they want the Government to

clarify what EU workers' rights are going to be, and of course that is

what the Government and a EE were trying to do. The figures are that

the unemployment rate is a loss since 1975. Brexit supporters would

say that is as law, but that sell these is significant number of

people without a job, so why can't those vacancies be filled by British

people? They haven't got the skills. You are not going to get to 0%. This

is an important one, actually, because the Prime Minister has come

under a great deal of pressure from people with an Reina party to

exclude students from the numbers of net migrants. And she wants to count

them still. She has insisted so far that they should be counted, but

this story is that the way in which the Government has tried to justify

keeping the numbers of students included has been exposed as a bit

of a mad. Even Nicky Morgan they think that the reasons given gone

ring true. For example, the Government has said that it believed

up until now that about 100,000 students who have come here to study

don't go back after full stop in fact, the latest figures suggest

that the true number is only 4600. If we can be sure that the students

coming here do actually go back, then they are not truly emigrants at

all, and in fact... The problem again is that fewer students are

gradually coming and. 27,000 fewer students have applied to study at

British universities. This is the central question. Yes, you don't

want students to oversee, but what about those who want educated here,

because that dividend is a generational dividend. The local

home, they will have been linked with this country. That is what

other highly developed societies do, that is what America does. Every

don't take that into account, we are paying a curious numbers game which

actually can be various misleading. It is also crucial for the

universities, because the universities rely on overseas

students coming in to help their budget. Let's talk about those who

might be going to university in the future and those who have done their

GCSEs. Girls outperforming boys. They kind of do every year. This is

the new grading system. We have gone away from the old one. Nine to me

suggest to me that somebody gets 9%. What is and testing is that the

girls that have done well have got 60% on grade nine, but at the same

time, the overall pass rate has sank to their lowest level in nearly a

decade, so I think this is a system that has been, if you like, tested,

and I think these results don't actually give us eco-as to how well

it is working. Which is how bound to be the case. That is what they

headteachers are saying. Reversing this sheer scale of the changes

means you can't really compare the results this time than with the

previous results, and the whole system has got to bed down. Only

three subjects have changed. Everything else has been the same.

It is only endless language, English literature and maps that have got

the new gradings. -- English language. It is important to say

that the A-level results as usual that buys had overtaken girls. We're

catching up. In the mail, page,. -- page two. This is also something

that the Prime Minister has been signalling for quite some time,

which is that she once too, if you like, have justification for the

extremely high-level paid for some top executives, so forcing companies

to publish the ratio for top bosses' paid to the pay of the average

worker. Also, Greg Clark was together workers more say in the

boardroom. I actually think that that is a really good idea, it is

something that Germany does very well. They have unions and workers

represented on their board, it much more collegiate, collaborative

approach, and actually that could be very good for British business, I

suspect. But they have backtracked from that. The Prime Minister's

original proposals were more far reaching. I think this is a very

good thing if they can do it, but they need to do it, because our

accounts historically have not presented much information on what

people are boardroom level down. They have given it in a very cryptic

fashion, you would have to be quizmaster to figure it out. As you

know, and this is part of the unease in our society, that the disparity

in income between those who are well of and those who are not well of, we

are not using that Fresno from the Prime Minister balances that it is

going, and that is a bad thing for society. And also, reward for

failure is something that people can accept. Very often you see that

failing companies are still banking huge sums. Let's go to the roads,

and the front of the Telegraph. Driverless lorries to hedge UK

roads. This is going to be lorries in convoys. Protruding, it has been

called. The first lorry will have a driver, the next two will not have a

driver, but there will be a driver setting and niqab. They will be

going along, and it is worrying the motoring industry. They are worried

that this could cause an enormous amount of problems, because it might

have skewered the exits. This will be quite interesting. There's might

involve football formation. Hybrid at work, I don't know? I am glad you

have introduced some sport! Are you feeling uneasy about this? I we have

to be mindful about what the motoring organisation say, they are

the experts. Apparently they can't bite would be about the length of

half a flip up edge. You might not be able to see road sign. This has

already been done in America. Yes, but American motorways are very

different. And them to raise are not as crowded, say you cannot

necessarily say that it is fined over there so it is OK already are.

I think we have to be cautious. Drivers who use their mobile phones

as sat nav is no rest being banned from the road. I think this is

really frightening. People do need to use their sat nav is, and the

point is that even if you are touching the screen to change your

route, and you attach your sat nav if you needed to change at it, you

will get six points. Surely you should start before you touch it?

The phone sat nav 's are much better sometimes than the other ones. That

is the problem. If you are driving on a motorway, that is the problem.

True. On that note of uncertainty, thank you both very much.
