0:00:15 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
0:00:19 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22With me are Kate Proctor, Political reporter at
0:00:22 > 0:00:31the London Evening Standard and the broadcaster John Stapleton.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37And Manchester City fan... Always a pleasure to have you on the show,
0:00:37 > 0:00:45especially after the weekend we've had.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The Metro leads with "President Trump is a pervert" ,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49reporting that 16 women allege the 45th President
0:00:49 > 0:00:50sexually assaulted them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52The I describes new research into Huntingdon's disease
0:00:52 > 0:00:55as the biggest breakthrough in brain science for 50 years.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57The FT's front page picks up on the attempted bomb
0:00:57 > 0:01:01attack in New York...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04While the Mirror reports on the forecast drop
0:01:04 > 0:01:13in temperatures tonight.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Saying Britain is expected to be colder than Moscow.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The Daily Telegraph says rail passengers are being denied
0:01:18 > 0:01:22the right to book cheap travel for Christmas, and the
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The Guardian reports that a senior QC has said the Grenfell Tower fire
0:01:25 > 0:01:29was a "national atrocity" with warnings being ignored.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The Times picks a report coming out tomorrow,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35urging the government to toughen rules on social media groups that
0:01:35 > 0:01:37fail to stop online abuse.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And finally The Daily Mail reports that a former Facebook boss
0:01:40 > 0:01:50has said the company is 'ripping society apart'.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Start with the daily Mirror, apparently it will be colder than
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Moscow overnight. That's pretty cold.That is really cold, and I
0:02:01 > 0:02:04grew up in Cumbria, and I didn't even get down to those temperatures
0:02:04 > 0:02:10when I was young. -15, that's freezing, we've already seen the
0:02:10 > 0:02:13chaos caused over the last 24 hours because of the snowfall. Tomorrow
0:02:13 > 0:02:17morning will be a really difficult morning for drivers, they will have
0:02:17 > 0:02:21very icy roads and I expect you will have school closures as well for
0:02:21 > 0:02:28another day.I know, I know. I know I sound like an old soul and so when
0:02:28 > 0:02:35I say this but she was brought up in Cumbria, I was brought up in Bolton,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39at the top of the Pennines, I don't remember a single day when our
0:02:39 > 0:02:46school was closed. Our old Grammar School in Oldham. I know times have
0:02:46 > 0:02:50changed, health and safety rules the world, kids are understandably
0:02:50 > 0:02:55scared of slipping. In our day, you slipped and fell, tough bananas. And
0:02:55 > 0:03:01we all got by. I was slightly snowbound at the weekend, a
0:03:01 > 0:03:04wonderful party in Oxfordshire and I couldn't help thinking, we have had
0:03:04 > 0:03:09two or three days of this and still motorways closed, trains don't run.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I know it's not the easiest job in the world, and I'm sure many did
0:03:13 > 0:03:16their level best to keep the country running but you do think, why does
0:03:16 > 0:03:23this not happen in Poland, in Norway, in Scandinavia?They spend a
0:03:23 > 0:03:27lot more on gritters and are a bit more in control, frankly. The front
0:03:27 > 0:03:34page of the Telegraph, it talks about slow keeping schools shut for
0:03:34 > 0:03:37second days as teachers are told not to travel. That's part of the
0:03:37 > 0:03:42problem, teachers can't get in.They don't always necessarily live near
0:03:42 > 0:03:44the schools, its rate you would have all the teachers live in one town
0:03:44 > 0:03:49one village. It might not just be that it's cold, you cannot get staff
0:03:49 > 0:03:53into the school. That seems like a pretty reasonable reason why you
0:03:53 > 0:03:56would have to close a school down. But parents, it's really difficult
0:03:56 > 0:04:00because lots of them might have to be slipping in a day 's holiday just
0:04:00 > 0:04:03before the Christmas holiday so they can look after their children.It's
0:04:03 > 0:04:12a tricky one. We are going to go to the Telegraph. Dosages denied cheap
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Christmas rail tickets. If we are going to get stuff over when it
0:04:15 > 0:04:20comes to the cost of travel, it will be Christmas time.A 4% increase
0:04:20 > 0:04:23coming in after Christmas for all rail journeys. They have increased
0:04:23 > 0:04:32dramatically the last couple of years, we know that. The prices are
0:04:32 > 0:04:35steep, they have gone up dramatically in the last few years
0:04:35 > 0:04:39or so it seems, a very interesting report by a government watchdog
0:04:39 > 0:04:41committee, the official watchdog committee, saying rail passengers
0:04:41 > 0:04:44are being denied the chance to buy cheap tickets for the Christmas
0:04:44 > 0:04:49break by train companies that routinely mislead them. One of the
0:04:49 > 0:04:52things they allege is that they did not make all the advance tickets
0:04:52 > 0:04:55available, did not make public the fact these advance tickets were
0:04:55 > 0:05:01available, which are cheaper. But also they were selling tickets for
0:05:01 > 0:05:04trains that could not make the journey they were supposed to make.
0:05:04 > 0:05:12A couple of examples quoted, a great Western Railway ticket being on sale
0:05:12 > 0:05:15in early October direct London Paddington services running on
0:05:15 > 0:05:20December the 27th, well, that can't happen on December 27, Paddington is
0:05:20 > 0:05:23shut. Actually selling tickets for journeys that they could not
0:05:23 > 0:05:31possibly make, at least not without changing, or taking buses as well.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36The rail companies, the six big ones...Network Rail always the
0:05:36 > 0:05:41bogeyman, always. It is always blamed. They have some huge
0:05:41 > 0:05:46engineering works happening over Christmas holidays, so £160 million
0:05:46 > 0:05:49worth of engineering works going on over the Christmas holidays around
0:05:49 > 0:05:55London and Manchester. That will affect so many people. All of this
0:05:55 > 0:06:00will feed well into what the government is pushing for, which is
0:06:00 > 0:06:04to switch Network Rail and the train companies together. To bring track
0:06:04 > 0:06:10and train together. The first phase this will be rolled out as the East
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Coast Main line, who knows in the future whether that will improve
0:06:13 > 0:06:21things?The reason people are being misled, is that Network Rail did not
0:06:21 > 0:06:27tell them, the rail companies, about their final plans. Therefore they
0:06:27 > 0:06:31sold these tickets hoping the works would be completed when they were
0:06:31 > 0:06:35indeed.There's always someone else to blame. Front page of The Times,
0:06:35 > 0:06:42and executing web giants for abuse, Mae urges, treating social media
0:06:42 > 0:06:47giants as publishers.This has come up before. We have crossbench peers
0:06:47 > 0:06:51compiling this report, which will be delivered to the government
0:06:51 > 0:06:55tomorrow. He says you need to treat Facebook and all the big social
0:06:55 > 0:07:01media giants as publishers, which means so far, some would say they
0:07:01 > 0:07:04have got out of various responsibilities because they
0:07:04 > 0:07:07describe themselves as platforms. If you are a publisher, it means you
0:07:07 > 0:07:14end up having all sorts of responsibilities.Like us.Exactly.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18This obviously is a good step forward but I think what is next is
0:07:18 > 0:07:23what kind of sanctions you will see on these companies.And how do them
0:07:23 > 0:07:28do it? How do you make them efficient, to make sure every
0:07:28 > 0:07:30inappropriate message...These companies are having to hire
0:07:30 > 0:07:33thousands of staff to cope with their obligations already so if the
0:07:33 > 0:07:36government were to take this forward and actually make them come
0:07:36 > 0:07:42publishers, they would have a vast amount of scrutiny on what was being
0:07:42 > 0:07:48put on their websites all the time. They can afford it. Most of them.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52This is just the start of this, I the home affairs Select Committee is
0:07:52 > 0:07:56also looking into this, and might be taking some evidence from some of
0:07:56 > 0:07:59these big social media companies in the next week. For Christmas I think
0:07:59 > 0:08:03we will see a lot of this in Parliament.Plastics aid, front page
0:08:03 > 0:08:09of The Times.A suggestion that Michael Gove is going to push for
0:08:09 > 0:08:16more of Britain's overseas aid budget. More of that should be spent
0:08:16 > 0:08:21trying to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans after a study found
0:08:21 > 0:08:2690% of the waste came from ten rivers in Asia. This will strike a
0:08:26 > 0:08:31chord with people watching Blue Planet. And the Daily Mail has had a
0:08:31 > 0:08:35big campaign on this. It really is horrifying to see what this does to
0:08:35 > 0:08:43see life. Arguably, it is a good cause.Yeah, I think it's a great
0:08:43 > 0:08:47idea. You don't think about the cycling really happening in other
0:08:47 > 0:08:52parts of the world, you only know about what you do yourself. --
0:08:52 > 0:08:55recycling. The idea you would start encouraging other countries as part
0:08:55 > 0:08:58of an aid investment, and aid payments, would actually be quite
0:08:58 > 0:09:08effective probably.It might assuage some critics of foreign aid as well.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11If you can make it clear that foreign aid is useful in a
0:09:11 > 0:09:17particular way. Sad news, front page of the Daily Mail, Keith Chegwin.
0:09:17 > 0:09:24Died at the age of 60. You knew him. I was a GMTV, the breakfast station,
0:09:24 > 0:09:2920 years. Cheggers was at least a decade, used to be the morning
0:09:29 > 0:09:33competitions. I don't know anyone else could have brought those
0:09:33 > 0:09:39competitions to life in the same way he did. He was such a barrel of
0:09:39 > 0:09:46laughs, bright ideas and cheerful. Really a warm, generous guy, born on
0:09:46 > 0:09:52television. When that red light on helix up. He came in every day with
0:09:52 > 0:09:57some terrific ideas. -- when that red light came on, he lit up. He
0:09:57 > 0:10:01used to surprise people on the doorstep, they would come down,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04teeth not in, still on their nightwear, he would always have such
0:10:04 > 0:10:08fun and never in a demeaning or patronising way. He knew where they
0:10:08 > 0:10:13came from and he knew where he came from T. Really good guide, sad.Do
0:10:13 > 0:10:19you remember him?Not a great deal, I'm aware of him but don't remember.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25You listen to radio four.LAUGHTER Now, she was too young! That's what
0:10:25 > 0:10:30you should have said. You a united fan or a City fan, come on, which is
0:10:30 > 0:10:37it?Come on... I even come dressed for the occasion.Speaking of the
0:10:37 > 0:10:46big game... Milk eight. Back page of the Guardian. Apparently there was a
0:10:46 > 0:10:52fracas, Mr Mourinho believed the City players were too exuberant in
0:10:52 > 0:10:55their celebrations of that famous victory on Saturday. Apparently
0:10:55 > 0:11:00cartons of milk were thrown.That's what was suggested. Apparently he
0:11:00 > 0:11:04thought the noise from the dressing room is not respectful, and had an
0:11:04 > 0:11:10altercation with our goalkeeper, talking in Portuguese. Then one of
0:11:10 > 0:11:13the City assistant coaches, who played for Arsenal, received a cut
0:11:13 > 0:11:19over the eye. It seems to me a bit of a fuss over not much frankly. You
0:11:19 > 0:11:23and I, we saw what happened after the game, Mr Mourinho who I believe
0:11:23 > 0:11:29is becoming the Donald Trump of soccer, a narcissist, actually a
0:11:29 > 0:11:33producer of fake news. Whenever things go badly, what was he saying?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37We were lucky. Come on, that is beyond parody to say Manchester City
0:11:37 > 0:11:41were lucky in that game. Then he has to complain about cities
0:11:41 > 0:11:46celebrating? Someone tweeted a wonderful picture of Mourinho
0:11:46 > 0:11:53celebrating like this on his knees, and he complains about celebrating?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Kate, Kate, what have you got to say about all this?!It sounds
0:11:57 > 0:12:02absolutely ridiculous.I am being told my earpiece apparently Mourinho
0:12:02 > 0:12:06did the same thing last season Chelsea trounced United.He does not
0:12:06 > 0:12:11like a celebration.Are you a Chelsea fan, yes, he's a Chelsea
0:12:11 > 0:12:20fan? But it does look as if the title might be heading...I'm not
0:12:20 > 0:12:28saying, we are too long in the tooth.Very true.No more football.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK, I have let you had your time.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32That's it for THE PAPERS tonight.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online
0:12:34 > 0:12:37on the BBC News website.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40It's all there for you - seven days a week at bbc dot co uk
0:12:40 > 0:12:43forward slash papers - and if you miss the programme any
0:12:43 > 0:12:45evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Thank you Kate Proctor and John Stapleton.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Goodbye.
