:00:00. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:20.With me are the political commentator, Lance Price,

:00:21. > :00:22.and Liam Halligan, Chief Economics Commentator

:00:23. > :00:32.The Metro leads on the arrest of the four serving soldiers

:00:33. > :00:35.on suspicion of joining an outlawed neo-Nazi terror organisation who

:00:36. > :00:42.The FT focuses on the story that the Home Office

:00:43. > :00:46.is developing stricter rules for EU migrants wanting to work

:00:47. > :00:49.The Telegraph also leads with story about post

:00:50. > :00:52.Brexit immigration plans, which it says will only allow low

:00:53. > :00:54.skilled EU migrants stay for a year, before being sent home.

:00:55. > :00:56.The Daily Express is predicting a royal engagement

:00:57. > :00:58.as Prince Harry's girlfriend Megan Markle confesses

:00:59. > :01:02.And the I sees the Archbishop of Canterbury

:01:03. > :01:04.criticising the government over Britain's unfair economy.

:01:05. > :01:06.He calls for higher wages, school reform and fairer taxes,

:01:07. > :01:11.in what he says is the worst wage stagnation for 150 years.

:01:12. > :01:18.The Times claims the Prime Minister is planning to abandon a manifesto

:01:19. > :01:24.pledge to cut the number of MPs. And the Daily Mail goes with the

:01:25. > :01:28.government proposals to restrict the number of low skilled workers

:01:29. > :01:31.allowed into the UK after Brexit and the Guardian has pictures of the

:01:32. > :01:44.leaked document containing the proposals. We will start with that.

:01:45. > :01:54.This has been leaked by... Who knows! Not by someone... And who

:01:55. > :01:59.benefits? And after a few weeks of not getting anywhere with Brexit, or

:02:00. > :02:11.making progress on the tiniest technical details. This is a bit of

:02:12. > :02:17.a fillip to those who voted Brexit. This is back-to-school, the Prime

:02:18. > :02:21.Minister is revving up for a major speech on the exit. We don't know

:02:22. > :02:26.when it will be, probably before the Tory party conference in the first

:02:27. > :02:31.week of October. It makes the negotiations more difficult on the

:02:32. > :02:34.one hand because it will upset the EU side is even during the

:02:35. > :02:44.transition period for two years after March 2019, even in that time

:02:45. > :02:48.the clamps will come down and low skilled workers will not be able to

:02:49. > :02:52.come to the UK and there will be freedom of movement being curtailed.

:02:53. > :02:58.On the other hand it will please some restive Tory MPs who want

:02:59. > :03:01.Brexit, some Labour MPs who want it despite the position of their front

:03:02. > :03:05.bench and it will do something to say that even though we have these

:03:06. > :03:09.problems with the EU, we are getting on with it and there is a major

:03:10. > :03:12.after Brexit legislation coming in during the autumn and we are

:03:13. > :03:15.determined to get it through Parliament. That is what it feels

:03:16. > :03:22.like to most observers I would suggest. And I think it also shows

:03:23. > :03:25.that the Tories or certainly some of them think that if they are seen to

:03:26. > :03:30.be tough on immigration which they believe was the real root cause

:03:31. > :03:37.behind a lot of people voting to leave, they will be forgiven... For

:03:38. > :03:42.handing over 60 billion? Whatever the divorce bill turned out to be.

:03:43. > :03:50.Like so many of these papers, this is not clear. Some statements from

:03:51. > :03:54.the Home Office suggest they have not seen it, the Guardian said that

:03:55. > :03:59.is already causing disagreement between ministers. We don't know how

:04:00. > :04:04.serious it is. But like so many of these position papers, it raises

:04:05. > :04:08.more questions than it answers about whether it could be made to work and

:04:09. > :04:13.the impact on the economy which people have serious questions about.

:04:14. > :04:20.It onto the Financial Times, and Vladimir Putin is warning Donald

:04:21. > :04:24.Trump that military hysteria risks catastrophe. This is a man who has

:04:25. > :04:30.never had military hysteria in his life! This is the so-called brick

:04:31. > :04:35.summit, the big four emerging markets, Brazil, Russia, India and

:04:36. > :04:40.China, they formed an informal group and there is a summit going on in

:04:41. > :04:45.China and we have had trouble saying that Pyongyang, North Korea having

:04:46. > :04:52.carried out nuclear tests recently, I think the phrase he used was

:04:53. > :04:57.begging for war. Putin has come back saying that Trump should not engage

:04:58. > :05:02.in war hysteria. The key point being that of course if there are

:05:03. > :05:08.sanctions by the US against North Korea, unless they are unilateral

:05:09. > :05:11.sections, if they are UN sanctions, both Russia and China are able to

:05:12. > :05:18.sanction them as permanent members of the Security Council. Given that

:05:19. > :05:23.it is at a BRIC summit, there is no way that Putin would say that unless

:05:24. > :05:28.Beijing was on site. And it helps us get into the mindset of the North

:05:29. > :05:32.Koreans because Putin is saying they would rather eat grass than give up

:05:33. > :05:37.their weapons programme. He knows what it is like to have the west

:05:38. > :05:42.say, you can't do this, and also what it is like to use your military

:05:43. > :05:46.might to force the West to take you seriously and give you a place at

:05:47. > :05:49.the International table. He doesn't like being under sanctions either.

:05:50. > :06:07.He said the sanctions regime has run its course, it is ineffective.

:06:08. > :06:10.Exactly. And onto the the i, the Archbishop of Canterbury makes an

:06:11. > :06:15.extraordinary political intervention. We are quite used in

:06:16. > :06:19.the past two Archbishop of Canterbury having a go at the

:06:20. > :06:27.inequalities of capitalism but I guessed Justin Welby as not being as

:06:28. > :06:33.outspoken as in the past. He used to be a banker. He knows a bit about

:06:34. > :06:44.how the economy works. How unfair society can be! He has been in the

:06:45. > :06:49.trenches. It is good to have someone from the real world in such a high

:06:50. > :06:54.ecclesiastical post. The actually says that Britain Boka economic

:06:55. > :07:00.model is broken and it no longer functions but he is not proposing an

:07:01. > :07:05.alternative -- Britain's economic model. I suspect he wants to make

:07:06. > :07:09.this model work better and that the benefit of economic growth seem to

:07:10. > :07:20.be going into profit rather than wages. He has aligned himself with

:07:21. > :07:28.the IPPR think tank, which has come up with numbers showing that of GDP,

:07:29. > :07:33.the whole economy, 80% was going towards wages in the 1970s and now

:07:34. > :07:37.it is just 73% also another interesting thing, it is not just

:07:38. > :07:44.the Archbishop saying I wish the world was a fairer place, he has

:07:45. > :07:48.actually attacked the tech giants, Facebook, Google, Amazon, saying

:07:49. > :07:51.they are too powerful and that is an important emerging theme in

:07:52. > :07:55.political discourse around the world at the moment. In the past prime

:07:56. > :07:59.ministers would be upset by this sort of thing and I remember

:08:00. > :08:04.Margaret Thatcher getting very upset by whoever the Archbishop was at the

:08:05. > :08:09.time for producing similar sort of quotes. Actually this unfairness in

:08:10. > :08:12.the economy is something Theresa May as talked about when she first came

:08:13. > :08:21.to Downing Street so let's see what notice she takes. Talking about

:08:22. > :08:24.unfairness and pay and money, the BBC is to launch a major review of

:08:25. > :08:42.salaries! Five! -- Clive... We don't need to go any

:08:43. > :08:49.further on this! A major review of salaries. This isn't news, really?

:08:50. > :08:58.We know what happened earlier in the year. Careful because your boss, the

:08:59. > :09:03.great Tony Hall, of course this been a big story over the summer, 96 BBC

:09:04. > :09:09.presenters have been named as earning more than ?150,000. The

:09:10. > :09:21.majority of calls were men which led to some concern. White men. A lot of

:09:22. > :09:24.the country is thinking they are all massively overpaid for reading out

:09:25. > :09:31.loud for a living but now the BBC has said they want to bring forward

:09:32. > :09:37.measures to address that gender a gap earlier. And of course all

:09:38. > :09:42.organisations with more than 250 staff, I think by early next year,

:09:43. > :09:47.are going to have to published figures on their gender pay gap. The

:09:48. > :09:50.BBC is getting with the programme. Or rather everyone else is getting

:09:51. > :09:55.with the BBC because they are way ahead in this field, even though it

:09:56. > :09:59.is pretty awful. Not by choice but to their credit are keeping the

:10:00. > :10:05.story on the front pages and we are talking about it. And by launching

:10:06. > :10:10.the review they are raising expectations and something will be

:10:11. > :10:14.done about it. Natural selection is reading Alzheimer's and asthma out

:10:15. > :10:20.of the gene pool, this is on the front page of the Daily Telegraph. I

:10:21. > :10:24.just don't get this story. I bet explain what it is, but apparently

:10:25. > :10:30.natural selection means that Alzheimer's and asthma may disappear

:10:31. > :10:34.because men with Alzheimer's tend to have fewer children. Alzheimer's is

:10:35. > :10:41.normally a disease of the elderly unless I am much mistaken. By and

:10:42. > :10:44.large, you can get early onset. Not necessarily at the time when most

:10:45. > :10:48.people are having children will stop I don't quite understand how it is

:10:49. > :10:54.just Alzheimer's and asthma that will be up for that we are not

:10:55. > :11:01.clever enough to understand. The research is from the universities of

:11:02. > :11:04.Cambridge and Columbia. It is a subtle signal, says one of the

:11:05. > :11:08.researchers, but we find genetic evidence that natural selection is

:11:09. > :11:15.happening in modern human populations. The only reason it is

:11:16. > :11:21.not the lead story in the Daily Express... They couldn't understand

:11:22. > :11:24.it either! I have done Brexit! Does say that it could be bred out of the

:11:25. > :11:33.human species within a few thousand years. In time for the next

:11:34. > :11:37.election! Dog walkers told to carry two plastic bags. Some don't carry

:11:38. > :11:43.any and that makes me very angry, I have to say! I am a dog walker. We

:11:44. > :11:50.are both dog walkers. And you both carry bags? If we said no on

:11:51. > :12:02.television we would be arrested! And a plastic bag to pick up the poop.

:12:03. > :12:08.All I can say about my dog, Jake, that is the third mention you have

:12:09. > :12:13.that today. Sometimes two plastic bags is not enough! You have not met

:12:14. > :12:19.my dog! This is Canterbury City Council, the story has emerged that

:12:20. > :12:24.they may find dog walkers ?80 if they do not have two plastic bags

:12:25. > :12:32.which led us to speculate, if one is used, do you have to carry it around

:12:33. > :12:37.in its form? Just find the nearest bin! That is my message to dog

:12:38. > :12:41.walkers. It has been described as using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

:12:42. > :12:47.Thank you for looking at these stories will stop many thanks to you

:12:48. > :12:51.for watching and don't forget that you can see the front pages of all

:12:52. > :12:54.the papers online on the BBC News website.

:12:55. > :12:57.It's all there for you - seven days a week at

:12:58. > :12:59.bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any

:13:00. > :13:05.evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer

:13:06. > :13:14.Jake will watch it on iPlayer. He might get his own Twitter feed like

:13:15. > :13:16.this! Thank you both and to you for watching.
