0:00:00 > 0:00:01That's all the sport for now.

0:00:01 > 0:00:05Time for The Papers.

0:00:19 > 0:00:25James Pearce, never look away. Welcome to our look ahead to what

0:00:25 > 0:00:36the papers will be bringing tomorrow. When the music trickles

0:00:36 > 0:00:42away, I must point out that we not wearing poppies but Benedict is

0:00:42 > 0:00:48wearing the French symbol for Armistice Day. Isn't it gorgeous.

0:00:48 > 0:00:56The cornflower.The front pages. These are an education. The Observer

0:00:56 > 0:01:01leads on Jeremy Corbyn's calls for Boris Johnson to quit after comments

0:01:01 > 0:01:06he made about a British mother in prison and in around. The Sunday

0:01:06 > 0:01:12Times says 40 Tory MPs have signed a letter of no confidence against

0:01:12 > 0:01:21Theresa May. The Telegraph, it leads on plans by the Environment

0:01:21 > 0:01:31Secretary for a stronger Brexit. The Sunday express says the economy is

0:01:31 > 0:01:41in for a £3 billion windfall after Brexit. Let's begin. Lots of

0:01:41 > 0:01:46political stories, not the best time to be a politician necessarily but a

0:01:46 > 0:01:49great time to be a political journalist. Let's start with the

0:01:49 > 0:01:54Sunday Times. Tory turmoil as 40 MPs say Theresa May must go. This

0:01:54 > 0:02:00article by Caroline Wheeler, it says she is really fighting on three

0:02:00 > 0:02:06fronts.At least three. Everywhere she looks at the moment, Theresa May

0:02:06 > 0:02:13has trouble, essentially. It looks as though a lot of Tory MPs, 40,

0:02:13 > 0:02:18according to the Sunday Times, are losing patience. The received wisdom

0:02:18 > 0:02:23up until relatively recently was that she would be in place at least

0:02:23 > 0:02:31until Brexit happens in March 29 team, but Brexit out of the way and

0:02:31 > 0:02:36then they would move against her and maybe look to have the new Tory

0:02:36 > 0:02:40leader or Prime Minister by the autumn of 2019. I think that is

0:02:40 > 0:02:44still the most likely outcome but there is things have happened since

0:02:44 > 0:02:49you have been away. Michael Fallon has resigned.Just in case you

0:02:49 > 0:02:59missed it.She resigned in the wake. There has been the sex scandal

0:02:59 > 0:03:06involving quite a lot of Tory MPs, allegedly. And obviously, Brexit not

0:03:06 > 0:03:12going as according to plan. So it looks like a lot of Tory MPs... It

0:03:12 > 0:03:17is significant in terms of the numbers because they need 48 MPs to

0:03:17 > 0:03:21submit letters to the chairman of the 1922 committee, a backbench

0:03:21 > 0:03:26committee of Tory MPs, the chairman of the man called Graham Brady, and

0:03:26 > 0:03:34that will trigger a leadership election. 40, not far short of 48,

0:03:34 > 0:03:40so she is under a lot of pressure. Whatever you think of her as a Prime

0:03:40 > 0:03:47Minister, a lot of stuff that she is having to deal with, it is not of

0:03:47 > 0:03:53her making, it is the conduct of her own MPs and ministers.Indeed, as we

0:03:53 > 0:03:59are about to see in the Sunday mail. , the Mail on Sunday even. What is

0:03:59 > 0:04:03interesting, of course, and is lost on no one in continental Europe

0:04:03 > 0:04:08since the UK is in Europe, is this sentence, a Brexit adviser to the

0:04:08 > 0:04:12European Prime Minister -- UK Prime Minister said the talks were hostage

0:04:12 > 0:04:15to the Conservative Party 's internal psychodrama. This is being

0:04:15 > 0:04:20watched very carefully not just in Brussels but in all of the trees,

0:04:20 > 0:04:24not just by the populations, but by the governments, and contingency

0:04:24 > 0:04:30planning. And that is why it Brussels on the 27 are becoming

0:04:30 > 0:04:35increasingly worried that Theresa May will not see this process out.

0:04:35 > 0:04:43That sort of narrative has been with us for quite some time. The fact

0:04:43 > 0:04:48that the referendum even took place at all was all to do with the

0:04:48 > 0:04:51machinations inside the Conservative arty and their view of Europe.Yet,

0:04:51 > 0:04:58and it was the general election, the snap one, in Erie to give herself a

0:04:58 > 0:05:03thumping mandate to take us to Brussels, that was the whole purpose

0:05:03 > 0:05:08of the elections. Obviously, it blew up in her face, and ever since then,

0:05:08 > 0:05:14she has been living on borrowed time. Continental Europe must just

0:05:14 > 0:05:18think this government is teetering on the edge, losing Cabinet

0:05:18 > 0:05:23ministers, two in a week, and the progress isn't there in the

0:05:23 > 0:05:27discussions either. And, yeah, it has a real critical moment for the

0:05:27 > 0:05:34Prime Minister.The Mail on Sunday will enlighten us as to how those

0:05:34 > 0:05:40who want to -- a hard Brexit are at odds with those who want a softer

0:05:40 > 0:05:44one. Boris and Michael Gove. To hijack Number ten. Anything secret

0:05:44 > 0:05:51memo has urged.Indeed. A letter, apparently written by the Dixie

0:05:51 > 0:06:00Boris Johnson, the romance is back on, basically. Boris Johnson and

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Michael Gove, after their spectacular falling out, Mr Gove

0:06:03 > 0:06:11dubbing Mr Johnson in the front, in the back and just about everywhere.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16He bottled it and said he wasn't standing. Extraordinary. They are

0:06:16 > 0:06:23back together, and it would seem that the accusation in the Mail on

0:06:23 > 0:06:28Sunday is sparing much that we have a Prime Minister who is a hostage,

0:06:28 > 0:06:32she is going out and going to meetings but she is almost being

0:06:32 > 0:06:37operated by Mr Gove, and Mr Johnson. The Mail on Sunday says what has

0:06:37 > 0:06:41been conducted by the Foreign Secretary and by the Environment

0:06:41 > 0:06:46Secretary is quoted as soft coup. Mrs May is their Downing Street

0:06:46 > 0:06:52hostage. And this is all as there is this continued speculation, these

0:06:52 > 0:06:58problems, the fact that Michael Fallon has gone for alleged sexual

0:06:58 > 0:07:02impropriety, that pretty Patel has gone for and authorised meetings in

0:07:02 > 0:07:07Israel during what allegedly was a holiday. Amongst which, it is

0:07:07 > 0:07:13extraordinary having met Binyamin Netanyahu, and use yet is one thing,

0:07:13 > 0:07:18but having unauthorised freelance meetings is another. Archie has got

0:07:18 > 0:07:24great supporters, amongst Mr Johnson and Mr Gove, and it seems that in

0:07:24 > 0:07:30this missive, there are instructions for the Prime Minister, she is to

0:07:30 > 0:07:36talk about a hard Brexit, nobody is allowed even in private, allegedly

0:07:36 > 0:07:40she is being instructed, says the Mail on Sunday, to have doubters,

0:07:40 > 0:07:46she is to accuse Chancellor Philip Hammond, who was a soft Brexit, of

0:07:46 > 0:07:53not showing sufficient energy and refusing to plan for the possibility

0:07:53 > 0:07:57that Britain walks away with no deal, in other words not having

0:07:57 > 0:08:05enough money allocated to it. These are very serious accusations. She is

0:08:05 > 0:08:08being told, apparently, in this missive, in this letter, which came

0:08:08 > 0:08:14interested me just after her disastrous speech, unfortunately for

0:08:14 > 0:08:22her she lost her voice, was given a qoph sweet but didn't work

0:08:22 > 0:08:30immediately, had prankster hand her a people to five, -- P 45. This was

0:08:30 > 0:08:34terribly unfortunate. They are selling her things like she is too

0:08:34 > 0:08:42Article eight the following, and actually, we just had a date, now

0:08:42 > 0:08:47she is to say that the transition period, according to Mr Johnson and

0:08:47 > 0:08:54according to the Mail on Sunday, is to be fixed for June the 30th 2021.

0:08:54 > 0:09:04I mean, these are very serious accusations. An MP will be on Andrew

0:09:04 > 0:09:09Marr tomorrow morning and that will be a heck of an interview.It has

0:09:09 > 0:09:17been her week. The ambitious hard Brexiters are keen to push her out,

0:09:17 > 0:09:21put some steel on her spine, make sure she doesn't give into

0:09:21 > 0:09:28Remainers. This was written as Benedict says, just after the Tory

0:09:28 > 0:09:32conference but since then, Boris Johnson's stock has fallen quite

0:09:32 > 0:09:42considerably. The British citizen in the Iranian jail, he told people

0:09:42 > 0:09:53that she was training journalists when she wasn't.This incredible

0:09:53 > 0:10:00friendship through journalism having been met at university.Rekindled by

0:10:00 > 0:10:04their shared ambition. Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, says the Mail on

0:10:04 > 0:10:10Sunday, are actually running this hard Brexit cell.This letter has

0:10:10 > 0:10:21leaked. For your and Gavin 's I only, it says. It is very

0:10:21 > 0:10:27controversial. They don't want this getting out. It has Bilic to the

0:10:27 > 0:10:33Mail on Sunday.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38You very kindly both flagged up what is coming next without rushing on.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43These are very well trained guests: Let us takes the compliment.It do,

0:10:43 > 0:10:49it is meant, in exactly that way. Thank you.You mentioned that

0:10:49 > 0:10:56perhaps Boris Johnson stock is not so high after, you know, as it was

0:10:56 > 0:11:00maybe higher after the kip conference. Sack Boris for shaping

0:11:00 > 0:11:05our nation, this is Jeremy Corbyn, particularly in regard to that

0:11:05 > 0:11:09incredibly unhelpful comment about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who is

0:11:09 > 0:11:15now been dragged in front of a very Conservative judge in Iran.Yes, the

0:11:15 > 0:11:19threat is she could have five more years added to her sentence, and if

0:11:19 > 0:11:23that were to happen, I really think that Boris Johnson's position would

0:11:23 > 0:11:27be untenable and the Prime Minister would either have to sack him or

0:11:27 > 0:11:33tell him to resign. And, yes, Jeremy Corbyn has given a statement to The

0:11:33 > 0:11:38Observer, in which he said, we have put up with Johnson embarrassing and

0:11:38 > 0:11:41undermining our country with his colonial throw back view, it is time

0:11:41 > 0:11:48for him to go. Strong words, you to say Jeremy Corbyn has upped his

0:11:48 > 0:11:52game, his media advisers are much better than they were before, and it

0:11:52 > 0:11:57is, the one hand you might say he would say that, wouldn't he, it just

0:11:57 > 0:12:01increases the pressure on Boris Johnson, and as I say, he's having

0:12:01 > 0:12:05lost Michael Fallon and Priti Patel, if the Prime Minister was to lose

0:12:05 > 0:12:10Boris Johnson as well, she would be in a lot of trouble.We should point

0:12:10 > 0:12:17out, I mean what Iran is doing to Mrs Ratcliffe is appall, we must not

0:12:17 > 0:12:22lose sight of that. There is the unfortunate wording in front of that

0:12:22 > 0:12:26committee by the Foreign Secretary, then a not very forthcoming apology

0:12:26 > 0:12:30that needed to be dragged out of him after an urgent question in

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Parliament. That was rather unfortunate as well. I understand

0:12:34 > 0:12:36the two men, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband is to

0:12:36 > 0:12:41speak to the Foreign Secretary tomorrow, and of course, there must

0:12:41 > 0:12:46be a hope that this woman, who was separated from their lit 8 girl, who

0:12:46 > 0:12:50now is not speaking English any more.She with her grandparents in

0:12:50 > 0:12:55Iran.This is heartbreaking stuff, you know, really one has to be very

0:12:55 > 0:13:00careful when talking about a case like that. And people were livid

0:13:00 > 0:13:05because it was clear she was not training journalist, this is not her

0:13:05 > 0:13:11function, that is unfortunate. That is endangering the life of a British

0:13:11 > 0:13:16citizen.It was as much to do with Boris Johnson's attempt to wriggle

0:13:16 > 0:13:22off the hook.Always best to fall on your sword and apologise and try and

0:13:22 > 0:13:28mend fences and sort this out.Back to the Sunday Times. Vealed, the

0:13:28 > 0:13:36woman paid £200 million, who is this woman with the very large salary?

0:13:36 > 0:13:42She is the, she the, she is the boss of Bet365, the gambling company.A

0:13:42 > 0:13:49lot of money to be made in gambling. The incredible annual salary

0:13:49 > 0:13:55according to the account, £199.3 million in 2016/17. I don't think

0:13:55 > 0:14:00anyone really need that much money but she has done very well. What is

0:14:00 > 0:14:07interesting is it says these accounts show that the firm took £47

0:14:07 > 0:14:13billion in bets in the last 12 month month, that is up from 36 billion,

0:14:13 > 0:14:19an increase of 12 billion in -- 10 billion in 12 months. Online

0:14:19 > 0:14:26gambling, and it shows how that has exploded, which is pretty worrying.

0:14:26 > 0:14:34As the Sunday Times talks about the company's soaring prophet built but

0:14:34 > 0:14:38increases the debate oh the targeting of people in general, and

0:14:38 > 0:14:40particularly young gamblers.And whether the limit should be reduced

0:14:40 > 0:14:46and how much you can bet in a certain period of time.Yes more

0:14:46 > 0:14:53than £50 it should be really reduced on those machines. To, to £2. This

0:14:53 > 0:14:58is...It is so easy now.It would be interesting to see how they have

0:14:58 > 0:15:02done that jump, that is extraordinary.That is just one

0:15:02 > 0:15:07company.Is it is a big thing in France, online gambling?I believe

0:15:07 > 0:15:13it is. It is a worldwide thing. The reach with the internet, with the

0:15:13 > 0:15:17internet is extraordinary. I mean in a sense we are already teaching

0:15:17 > 0:15:23children to be addicted to screen, games, this is how we find out how a

0:15:23 > 0:15:27child has bypassed, if they have used the thumb print of their parent

0:15:27 > 0:15:32and they owe all this money on these games. This serious, it is not

0:15:32 > 0:15:37funny, this wrecks live, it wrecks lives.Briefly the Sunday Express,

0:15:37 > 0:15:43there is a new £5 tax which will help predict heart attacks.I was

0:15:43 > 0:15:48interesting in doing this, this could help a lot of people, a £5

0:15:48 > 0:15:52blood test which detected whether people with chest pains are at risk

0:15:52 > 0:15:56of a heart attacks. The Papers say it could revolutionise treatment of

0:15:56 > 0:16:01patients. The results are obtained in just 20 minute, so this could

0:16:01 > 0:16:07really save millions, but what is really, and also save a lot of money

0:16:07 > 0:16:13avenue the NHS, this global study has been done on nearly 23,000

0:16:13 > 0:16:16people, so this seems like something, so the next question s

0:16:16 > 0:16:21how soon do we see it in the UK. Cheap though, five quite. That could

0:16:21 > 0:16:26save your life. Let us get it here as quickly as possible. We have to

0:16:26 > 0:16:31stop because Kate is champing at the bit, to come and read the very

0:16:31 > 0:16:35important news on BBC One, and the BBC News channel. She is just over

0:16:35 > 0:16:43there. Kevin Schofield and Benedict Paviot will be here later. Kate

0:16:43 > 0:16:44coming up very soon.
