That is all the sport. Now it is
time for the papers. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:04 | |
Welcome to our look at what the
papers are bringing us today. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
With me are Katy Balls,
the political correspondent | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
at the Spectator, and
the journalist, James Rampton. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
The Observer leads on the situation
in Zimbabwe, with a picture of one | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
of the thousands of anti-Mugabe
demonstrators that lines the streets | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
of Harare yesterday. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
The Mail on Sunday reports
on an apparent altercation | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
between two Labour MPs
in the Commons chamber. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
The Sunday Express claims that
in Wednesday's Budget, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
the Chancellor will announce support
for Britain's tech industry, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
which could mean we'll
have driverless cars | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
on our roads by 2021. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
The Sunday Telegraph also leads
on a pre-Budget announcement, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
reporting that nurses are in line
for a pay rise. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
And The Sunday Times says
that the Chancellor will use | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Wednesday's budget to announce plans
to build 300,000 homes every year | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
So let's begin... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
Katie, do you want to kick off? Yes,
it is the budget on Wednesday. We | 0:01:14 | 0:01:22 | |
are all terribly excited. The Tories
are more worried about. They try to | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
trail it with the weekend papers.
There appears to be good news. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
Nurses will finally get a pay rise.
The article does not say how big | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
that pay rise will be. Presumably it
will be a real terms pay rise. They | 0:01:35 | 0:01:42 | |
want 3.9%? Yes. If it is less, there
would be a big backlash. A change of | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
June for Philip Hammond, who, a few
grow months ago, said public sector | 0:01:47 | 0:01:53 | |
workers were overpaid. He appears to
be adopting a softer approach in a | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
bid to win back voters from Labour.
He has got a tricky job? He has. He | 0:01:58 | 0:02:05 | |
has got 20 different ministers
coming to him saying, my department | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
is most important. I have got three
children and they all want money and | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
their claims are most important. Not
billions? L! No. He has an | 0:02:12 | 0:02:22 | |
impossible job. He cannot meet all
their needs. Defence and housing on | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
the agenda. The thing that is
concentrating his mind is the threat | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
of winter strikes. The winter is
always a grim period for the NHS. We | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
get stories about terrible pictures
of people on trolleys in A&E. It | 0:02:35 | 0:02:43 | |
becomes a real political hot potato.
If he can mitigate against that of | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
it by announcing an actual pay rise
for nurses, he will avoid a | 0:02:48 | 0:02:58 | |
difficult winter for the NHS. The
Health Secretary would have been | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
asking for that. Sajid Javid was
asking for deeds, not action, when | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
it comes to housing. There is a
story about housing? Yes, Sajid | 0:03:05 | 0:03:11 | |
Javid putting a lot of pressure on
the John Torode to do something | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
about housing. He has come up with
something. They pledge for 300,000 | 0:03:14 | 0:03:21 | |
homes a year. I think the question
really is, is this radical enough? A | 0:03:21 | 0:03:31 | |
lot of people even in the party,
never mind the country, probably | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
want a higher number. The government
are trying to be realistic. We see | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
government after government saying
they will do something about housing | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
but never quite meet their targets.
To do this they will try to | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
different things. Easing planning
laws. And also finding more money | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
for it. But again, Sajid Javid has
wanted them to borrow to the hilt. | 0:03:49 | 0:04:02 | |
Every government wants to stand up
and say, we solve the housing | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
crisis. Easier said than done, isn't
it? Absolutely. The vast majority of | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
young people voted for Corbyn in the
summer. Young people are struggling | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
in the housing crisis. One
interesting stat is there are 200 | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
zombie thousand and build
residential planning permissions in | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
London alone. If you can find a
legal mechanism for activating those | 0:04:21 | 0:04:28 | |
planning permissions, it would make
a huge addition to the housing | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
crisis in London. He has some legal
mechanisms he wants to install as | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
well as injecting money. It is
vital. The next generation is | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
struggling. It is a real problem.
Inevitably if you give to young | 0:04:40 | 0:04:49 | |
people you are annoying older
voters? Yes. It is difficult. I | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
still around but I think that is one
of the things you can do. We saw | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
Sajid Javid with the younger voters,
trying to appeal to them this week. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
He said, despite your thoughts in
the papers, the fact you cannot get | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
on the housing ladder is not because
you eat too much avocado on toast. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:14 | |
There is a perception that us
millennials data go on holiday now | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
and then and we drink too much per
second. And actually, if you are | 0:05:19 | 0:05:25 | |
saving for the deposit, it does seem
near impossible. I don't see how | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
you're supposed to get there.
Anything they can do will help them | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
with younger voters, and help them
to stay in power. The younger voters | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
will become the main voters. The
Tories do well when you have | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
property owners. They don't do well
when you don't. They have to be | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
decent properties as well? They
have. There has been quite a bit in | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
the press about problems with
new-build housing. You need to build | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
the houses but they have to be fit
for purpose? UC garages in some | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
parts of London going further insane
money. -- you see. You can't | 0:05:58 | 0:06:06 | |
alienate the older voter. The older
voter traditionally votes heavily | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
for the Tories. If there is an
element of so-called NIMBY is here, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:15 | |
house honours, house honours worried
about their green belt land, he is | 0:06:15 | 0:06:22 | |
in danger of alienating the very
people who are is core voters. That | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
is a real difficulty. And he is
Prime Minister potentially? Yes. If | 0:06:25 | 0:06:34 | |
they were speaking, maybe they could
sort it out! Theresa May would not | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
want to upset her constituents by
doing too much. That is the | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
opposition Hammond will have to
face. Maidenhead hasn't changed | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
forever those years and it won't
because it is sort of set in stone. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
That is true. That will focus Mr
Hammond's mind. He is looking | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
towards younger voters. That in
terms of tech, there will be | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
investment in technology that will
probably appeal to your people?! | 0:07:03 | 0:07:10 | |
Yeah. The avocado generation. I
don't trust them. They look | 0:07:10 | 0:07:19 | |
suspicious to me. That defines me as
an old person! We haven't got to the | 0:07:19 | 0:07:26 | |
point of an avocado tax yet, so that
is OK. He is announcing in the | 0:07:26 | 0:07:32 | |
express the money they are going to
put into technology to make sure | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
that Britain is ahead in those
industries. The thing that is kind | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
of catching everybody's attention is
the Hope to have driverless cars by | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
2021. -- is the pledge. Making sure
Britain leads the way. It is quite | 0:07:44 | 0:07:53 | |
hard. Electric cars, we have been
hearing for so long they were going | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
to be the main car. It takes a
little bit more to get my head | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
around driverless cars. Even
electricals, it has taken so long to | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
get there. Driverless cars is like a
big step forward. If we are now | 0:08:06 | 0:08:13 | |
getting to the point where electric
cars might reach our target, it is | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
hard to see how driverless cars will
be ready. I believe in 2050 will be | 0:08:17 | 0:08:25 | |
like, we're nearly there. Jeremy
Clarkson has questioned them and I | 0:08:25 | 0:08:36 | |
absolutely agree with him. I agree
with Jeremy Clarkson! My name is | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
James Rampton and I must confess
that I agree with Jeremy Clarkson! | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
He says that he has twice test
driven, or sat there on the M4 in a | 0:08:45 | 0:08:53 | |
driverless car, and he claims both
times the car made a huge mistake | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
which he had to rest -- rectify. It
could have been fatal. Did he | 0:08:57 | 0:09:03 | |
programme it? If it was programmed
by Clarkson himself, it would've | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
been like De Jim Carr! He is to the
head of oldie, if you can drive this | 0:09:07 | 0:09:14 | |
car over a death road in Bolivia,
will buy one. Sit there with your | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
hands folded and let it drive you
there with half the tyrant hanging | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
over 1000 foot drop... It sounds
like a good feature for his | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
programme? He has written quite a
good piece about it in the magazine. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:39 | |
Potentially exciting along that
Cliff Road. They trailed this in Las | 0:09:39 | 0:09:45 | |
Vegas and within two hours it had
been involved in a crash. They | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
blamed a human being. But you do
have to wonder. I always say to | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
people who are raving about the joys
of technology, have you seen the | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
terminator? It is a very prescient
fable about the CIA and the Pentagon | 0:09:59 | 0:10:06 | |
investing all the money in a
computer which eventually takes over | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
the world. It destroys the human
race. I think there is a real... | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
Stephen Hawking has said it is the
biggest threat to humanity, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
artificial intelligence. There is a
real danger we become so seduced by | 0:10:18 | 0:10:24 | |
this that we forget about the human
element and we forget that | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
ultimately it must be human beings
in charge or we are abrogating | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
responsibility to human beings.
Let's look at the Observer. Is that | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
right? Yes. Robert Maghaberry. --
Robert Maghaberry. Things moving on | 0:10:37 | 0:10:46 | |
swiftly in Zimbabwe? We have the
beginnings of a soft coup in the | 0:10:46 | 0:10:53 | |
week. It was very calm. On the
streets when we worked out that | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
McGarvey was to be overthrown, there
was no panic. Now it is stepping up | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
a gear. It now seems like the crowds
are ready for him to go. They are | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
beginning to celebrate. If he
doesn't chose to go, police believe, | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
it could take a turn for the worst
This is an extraordinary picture on | 0:11:13 | 0:11:19 | |
the front of the Observer. This
woman on the grounds where Mugabe... | 0:11:19 | 0:11:29 | |
She is now standing there in a hat,
hash tag, stepped down. This idea | 0:11:29 | 0:11:36 | |
that it has united all generations
of society. There is a woman quoted | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
in The Sunday Times whose husband
was a farmer who was beaten up by | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
war veterans. She has been quoted as
saying, welcome to the happiest day | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
of our lives. I am 67 and my kids
say I am acting like I am 17. She is | 0:11:51 | 0:11:57 | |
so delighted. The war veterans are
behind this overthrow, and the | 0:11:57 | 0:12:02 | |
military, and the tiny proportion of
white farmers still there. It shows | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
the way in which for the first time
in his life he has united people | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
with his departure. We will move on
because we will have more on | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Zimbabwe through the morning. Page
13 of the Sunday Telegraph, my | 0:12:13 | 0:12:20 | |
personal favourite story. On News at
ten we used to end with a | 0:12:20 | 0:12:27 | |
skateboarding dog. Now we have a
scooter in Monk. Henry Wadsworth, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
83-year-olds. The poor monks of
Ampleforth have lived in relative | 0:12:31 | 0:12:42 | |
misery. They have leaky rooms. Their
windows don't shut properly. The | 0:12:42 | 0:12:48 | |
pipes make a dreadful noise. They
have to queue for the bathroom. For | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
the first time in more than a
century they're having a | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
refurbishment. 58 months will be
treated to modern facilities. But | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
being monks and very serious, they
are worried. They are saying, is an | 0:12:58 | 0:13:05 | |
ensuite bathroom too much? Are we
baking our vows of simplicity? -- | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
Brett King. I do sympathise with
them. If you have had to queue for | 0:13:09 | 0:13:16 | |
the bathroom in the morning, I live
with three daughters, so I have to | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
queue for the bathroom all the time,
but they have to do it as part of | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
their monkey 's existence. Not only
do they have to consider ensuite | 0:13:24 | 0:13:37 | |
bathrooms, but Molton Brown
products. They have gone very ritzy! | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
They have overstepped the mark. They
are talking about how they are | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
paying for this. They are looking
for ways to fund raise the money for | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
the refurbishment. They have done
their bit by saying some things they | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
don't need. Monks have clutter, too.
Brilliant story. Almost out of time. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:03 | |
Tell us about the last thing we are
going to look at. A Royal story. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
There must be armies of journalists
out there employed on Meghan Markle | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
stories. You might possibly say this
is a bit tenuous. I am going to add | 0:14:12 | 0:14:18 | |
to the EU mountain of Meghan Markle
stories. This is an Australian | 0:14:18 | 0:14:24 | |
genealogist who has discovered that
a very distant relative of the | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
girlfriend of Prince Harry was a
close confidant of Henry VIII but he | 0:14:27 | 0:14:33 | |
was locked in the tower and
beheaded. That family's relationship | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
with the Royal family has not always
been great but it is wonderful now. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
They will all live happily ever
after. Maybe not something to bring | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
up at the Christmas lights.
Thank you very much indeed. That is | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
it for this hour.
You are coming back in an hour. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:54 | |
Whether next. -- the | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 |
