:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:19.With me is Henry Mance, political correspondent
:00:20. > :00:22.at the Financial Times, and Lucy Fisher, senior political
:00:23. > :00:31.The Metro leads with Labour MP Jared O'Mara quitting his place
:00:32. > :00:33.on a Commons equality committee after derogatory comments
:00:34. > :00:37.he made in the past about gay and overweight people
:00:38. > :00:42.The FT leads with the story that a Russian tycoon is looking
:00:43. > :00:44.to increase the value of his aluminium and hydropower
:00:45. > :00:46.empire, ahead of its initial public offering in London.
:00:47. > :00:49.The Daily Express calls for an end to foreign aid spending
:00:50. > :00:51.on its front page, saying it should be directed
:00:52. > :00:57.towards health and social care funding here instead.
:00:58. > :00:59.The "i" has more on Theresa May shrugging off reports
:01:00. > :01:02.that she asked EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker for help
:01:03. > :01:09.The Telegraph says GPs are ignoring advice by the NHS to put more people
:01:10. > :01:17.on statins to decrease their risk of heart attacks and strokes.
:01:18. > :01:19.And the Mirror has details of a new expenses scandal
:01:20. > :01:39.Let's kick off, then, with the "i", on the Brexit row - Theresa May
:01:40. > :01:46.shrugging off the alleged Jean-Claude Juncker Lakes. It was
:01:47. > :01:52.alleged that she had begged for help, and needlessly, in the view of
:01:53. > :01:56.Jean-Claude Juncker. After the bombshell leak in April, the first
:01:57. > :02:00.confidential, private meeting between Theresa May and Jean-Claude
:02:01. > :02:04.Juncker, when he was then set out that she was delusional, combat of
:02:05. > :02:09.the scale of the man she was making the Brexit, and again, a leak has
:02:10. > :02:15.occurred to the same German newspaper. Interestingly, her former
:02:16. > :02:19.chief of staff, Nick Timothy, accused his European counterpart of
:02:20. > :02:23.being behind the leaks. The counterpart denied this and said it
:02:24. > :02:29.played into a broader narrative of the UK trying to characterise the EU
:02:30. > :02:33.as punishing the UK per Brexit. I have enjoyed their handbags at dawn
:02:34. > :02:37.on Twitter today. What you make of it was Mike Downing Street were
:02:38. > :02:50.briefing that Theresa May was going to say, I need help on this from you
:02:51. > :02:57.guys. It is a different -- what do you make of this? Downing Street
:02:58. > :03:01.were briefing... Theresa May went and talked about the divorce bill,
:03:02. > :03:04.and now the fallout from a dinner, the belief that communications, even
:03:05. > :03:09.a private dinners, are not particularly private. A lot of
:03:10. > :03:14.things need to be negotiated over the next year, and it doesn't look
:03:15. > :03:18.like the best relationship to start from. Jean-Claude Juncker denied
:03:19. > :03:23.this when he was doorstep by the BBC amongst other people today, 100%
:03:24. > :03:29.denial. With a twinkle in his eye, it might be said. Theresa May stood
:03:30. > :03:34.at the dispatch box today and claim she made significant progress at the
:03:35. > :03:38.summit last week, and Frank were, as far as I see it, Jeremy Corbyn
:03:39. > :03:54.called it when he said it was Groundhog Day. The Guardian, their
:03:55. > :04:03.headline is: To keep Britain in the single market and the customs union
:04:04. > :04:07.for a couple of years is that aim. What she said today in the Commons
:04:08. > :04:10.was, if we don't get a deal on trade that goes well beyond that, even
:04:11. > :04:16.those two years of standing still, giving businesses time, they won't
:04:17. > :04:20.exist, we will be out in March 2019, and there will be a cliff edge. That
:04:21. > :04:24.is a way of trying to push the EU towards negotiations on trade, but
:04:25. > :04:30.it creates the risk that if they don't do what she says, then we had
:04:31. > :04:34.a very hard exit within two years. Businesses are getting more and more
:04:35. > :04:38.worried that time is running out? Absolutely, the story in the last 24
:04:39. > :04:44.hours of five leading business organisations warning that the time
:04:45. > :04:47.period before March 2019, they're planning period, it's coming to a
:04:48. > :04:51.crunch point now when they need to know what the transition looks like,
:04:52. > :04:57.and beyond that, the trade deal. You mentioned Jeremy Corbyn and as a
:04:58. > :05:03.picture is not actually off him in the Guardian, but it looks like him.
:05:04. > :05:11.Amazingly, this is Tracey Ullman's new impersonation of the Labour
:05:12. > :05:15.leader for her new sketch show. I think it's a bit out of date. These
:05:16. > :05:22.days, Jeremy Corbyn is a bit smarter. He has ditched the beige
:05:23. > :05:29.jacket and wears a navy suit often. And the tie is done up. No top
:05:30. > :05:34.button undone any more? No. He has a unique, shambolic vibe, so it would
:05:35. > :05:39.be interesting see if anyone can take him up. I've not seen any
:05:40. > :05:43.impersonators manage it. It looks quite like him, though. I think
:05:44. > :05:50.there are prosthetics there! The Daily Telegraph: Doctors putting
:05:51. > :05:59.patients off stat ins, prescriptions dropping, according to the
:06:00. > :06:04.Telegraph. This follows up on advice a few years ago that prescribing
:06:05. > :06:09.stat ins might benefit more patients. A new study has found that
:06:10. > :06:12.it is patients themselves are deciding after advice from doctors
:06:13. > :06:17.that they don't want to risk the side effects because the benefits
:06:18. > :06:24.don't our crew to the majority of people who take statins, instead to
:06:25. > :06:31.a small minority. You may take them, not have a good effect and people
:06:32. > :06:37.say that stepping -- people are stepping back from the advice. It is
:06:38. > :06:40.patients failing to take them, then? It is the patients who are most at
:06:41. > :06:55.risk of heart attack and stroke soon appear to be shunning them, perhaps
:06:56. > :07:04.sold on the critics of statins, who say that the side-effects are not
:07:05. > :07:08.wanted. Is there a problem with saying that patients should take
:07:09. > :07:13.statins just because there might be some good? There is advice, and then
:07:14. > :07:18.it appears it changes. What you find from studies like this is where the
:07:19. > :07:24.blockages in the system lie. Is it the advice that is wrong, or the
:07:25. > :07:28.fact that doctors are relying it in the wrong way, or that patients are
:07:29. > :07:33.coming to the wrong decisions? It is a process of experimenting with how
:07:34. > :07:36.we prescribe drugs. That is the Daily Telegraph. Now, the metro, and
:07:37. > :07:47.they focused, as I mentioned earlier, on the MP Jared O'Mara, who
:07:48. > :07:56.has got into a spot of trouble, the sea. Comments he made online 13
:07:57. > :08:00.years ago on message board making derogatory comments about gay
:08:01. > :08:09.people, fat people, talking about and no orgies with girls aloud. He
:08:10. > :08:13.attempted to cling onto his role on the women and equality is Commons
:08:14. > :08:15.select committee and it was only in the face of a growing backlash that
:08:16. > :08:23.he finally agreed to resign from that role. And he is the MP who
:08:24. > :08:28.defeated Nick Clegg in Sheffield. One of the reasons why something
:08:29. > :08:32.like this can happen is because Jared O'Mara did not expect to win a
:08:33. > :08:36.seat, did not expect there to be an election, and there was limited time
:08:37. > :08:41.for parties to scan candidates and for opposition parties to put them
:08:42. > :08:45.under scrutiny, and some unexpected people, like Nick Clegg, lost, and
:08:46. > :08:51.unexpected people, like Jared O'Mara, won. Is it a cautionary tale
:08:52. > :08:57.that what you put on social media can come back to one should? You do
:08:58. > :09:02.think, gosh, ten years ago, what was I saying on Facebook? We will see as
:09:03. > :09:06.time goes on more MPs and people in public life who have come of age but
:09:07. > :09:14.have said the listings in their youth. Do you think that is true?
:09:15. > :09:19.Yes, his excuse for laying it on strongly was that he was in his
:09:20. > :09:28.early 20s. You will have people making comments when they are 15,
:09:29. > :09:31.13, for someone of the things in Theresa May's manifesto was giving
:09:32. > :09:36.people more privacy while they are and sharing things on Facebook and
:09:37. > :09:40.other platforms. It has an impact potentially if you go for a job.
:09:41. > :09:47.Employers can trawl through your social media history if they. Yes,
:09:48. > :09:50.and perhaps that is what should have happened here. People have been
:09:51. > :09:55.asking questions about the robustness of Labour's vetting
:09:56. > :09:58.process. Several news organisations to date have found a plethora of
:09:59. > :10:01.different remarks made in different places about different subjects by
:10:02. > :10:07.Jared O'Mara. Why did the Labour Party not discover that beforehand?
:10:08. > :10:16.OK, let's just talk briefly about Donald Trump. We've got this
:10:17. > :10:21.controversy over this call that he made to the widow of an American
:10:22. > :10:27.soldier who died in Niger, allegedly getting his name wrong and so on,
:10:28. > :10:33.and he has denied it in a tweet. What do you make of that? We are
:10:34. > :10:38.entering into a world where what is true and what's not is so difficult
:10:39. > :10:46.to tell. It Donald Trump goes, as he did today, and claims that he spoke
:10:47. > :10:49.this fallen soldier's name without hesitation from the beginning of the
:10:50. > :10:53.conversation, then people who just see that statement in isolation and
:10:54. > :11:01.I may be inclined to support Donald Trump anyway -- and may be inclined
:11:02. > :11:09.to support Donald Trump anyway will accept that. There are other
:11:10. > :11:17.sources, including the soldier's widow, and a politician, who
:11:18. > :11:20.contradict that. It is a he said- she said thing. Would you trust your
:11:21. > :11:26.president or the widow of a fallen American soldier? It is hard to
:11:27. > :11:31.know. One would think perhaps it would be unlikely for someone to
:11:32. > :11:35.make up something in that scenario, while grieving for their lost
:11:36. > :11:42.husband, but as we know in recent weeks, he has made comments that
:11:43. > :11:46.former US presidents haven't honoured US service men - blatantly
:11:47. > :11:51.untrue. He has also made crass, insensitive comments, I think, about
:11:52. > :11:54.the particular killed soldier in question, saying he knew what he
:11:55. > :11:58.signed up for, hardly the thing you want to say to someone who has just
:11:59. > :12:06.lost a loved one. A couple more stories to look at... Back to the
:12:07. > :12:11.Telegraph - this is interesting. The Queen's racehorses are won nearly ?7
:12:12. > :12:23.million in prize money over the last 30 years. I don't think she is
:12:24. > :12:26.pocketing it all, or any of it. A record-breaking year, ?560,000, a
:12:27. > :12:30.pheromone. The Queen is famously frugal and famously in love with
:12:31. > :12:34.horses, so this is the kind of thing that would delight. I don't think
:12:35. > :12:45.the costs are taken into account, or indeed inflation. The money was made
:12:46. > :12:48.by the trainers. I thought the Queen had made some money when I saw the
:12:49. > :12:55.headline. That she had been down the betting shop! Horse racing is a
:12:56. > :12:59.traditional form of gambling, and I like to have a flutter, and I love
:13:00. > :13:03.seeing the Queen, often with a headscarf on, at the races. I'm glad
:13:04. > :13:10.she's winning out. Somebody else who got lucky was this chap in the
:13:11. > :13:17.Express. A diver who was followed, he says, by a 13 foot shark as he
:13:18. > :13:22.swam almost five miles to shore. That's quite a chase, isn't it?
:13:23. > :13:27.Swimming away from a sharp five miles. I think he was only followed
:13:28. > :13:34.by the shark, in his account, for the first 15 minutes, then he was so
:13:35. > :13:46.panicked, having left the boat on a dive in at place that is wonderfully
:13:47. > :13:52.called Shark Bay. The shark gave up. He then swam a distance that, to be
:13:53. > :13:57.honest, had some volunteers in the area, people who know about swimming
:13:58. > :14:03.in these waters, in disbelief that he had swum so far so quickly.
:14:04. > :14:09.Spoilsport! It's a good story. Could you swim for five miles being chased
:14:10. > :14:20.by a sharp? I can't come about as a journalist, I could probably put
:14:21. > :14:23.menace into the tail. -- into the story. He is certainly good at
:14:24. > :14:25.telling the story of this incredible escapade. It is a great story.
:14:26. > :14:29.Lovely. Thank you for being with us. Don't forget, you can see
:14:30. > :14:33.the front pages of the papers It's all there for you seven days
:14:34. > :14:39.a week at bbc.co.uk/papers - evening, you can watch it
:14:40. > :14:44.later on BBC iPlayer. There's nothing too
:14:45. > :15:01.exciting happening Normal autumn weather,
:15:02. > :15:05.so a lot of cloud, quite damp,
