0:00:16 > 0:00:19Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
0:00:20 > 0:00:21bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22With me are Lance Price, political commentator
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and Steven Swinford, Deputy political editor
0:00:24 > 0:00:26of The Telegraph.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31The Financial Times leads with the Bank of England hinting
0:00:31 > 0:00:34that interest rate rises are on the way.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38The Express reports Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg wants to cut
0:00:38 > 0:00:42government spending on foreign aid.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The Mirror goes with NHS figures showing over 1,000 A&E patients
0:00:45 > 0:00:55waited over 12 hours on trollies.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58The Metro says the last two Briutish Jihadi's from the beheading
0:00:58 > 0:01:03gang known as "The Beatles" have been captured in Syria.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The I goes with the same story, and a look ahead
0:01:06 > 0:01:16to the winter Olympics, which officially begin tomorrow.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18The Telegraph reports Jeremy Corbyn told EU
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier that Labour was open to keeping the UK
0:01:21 > 0:01:22in the EU customs union.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24The Guardian leads with a government crackdown on unpaid internships.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27So a mixed-bag of front pages there, thank you both for joining us
0:01:27 > 0:01:29tonight, let's hear what you make of some of those stories.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Let us start with the FT and this signal from the Bank of England,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47that rate rises are on the way, presumably to make sure inflation is
0:01:47 > 0:01:52kept in check.Exactly. This is about trying to dampen inflation,
0:01:52 > 0:01:59what we are talking about is is a doubling of interest rates from 0.5%
0:01:59 > 0:02:05to is %. I cover politics, a lot of stories matter but this is important
0:02:05 > 0:02:09because it directly affects our readers and their pockets, if you
0:02:09 > 0:02:13have a mortgage, this means your payments will go up. If you are a
0:02:13 > 0:02:17saver it is good news because you will get more interest on your
0:02:17 > 0:02:24savings.I bet there is a lag between the higher interest rate, we
0:02:24 > 0:02:27have got used to low interest rates. It will be a shock.A relatively
0:02:27 > 0:02:34small rise. It is not that long ago when interest rates were much
0:02:34 > 0:02:39higher. It is interest, it is not the first time the Governor of the
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Bank of England and the Monetary Policy Committee have warned of rate
0:02:41 > 0:02:45rises to come without putting them up. It makes you wonder whether
0:02:45 > 0:02:51issues that warning is part of the policy whether they hope the people
0:02:51 > 0:02:56will factor that in and it might have a dampening effect.The other
0:02:56 > 0:03:00picture on the front-page this is the Japanese were in town in Downing
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Street, particularly the car industry, the Japanese ambassador,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08that little altercation with Larry the cat. I don't know what was
0:03:08 > 0:03:11happening there, he wasn't playing for the cameras.This is before they
0:03:11 > 0:03:16went in. Maybe Larry was concerned that the Japanese businessmen
0:03:16 > 0:03:19weren't going to give Theresa May the message they wanted and he was
0:03:19 > 0:03:27turning tail and refusing to play ball. He is very picky.He had --
0:03:27 > 0:03:31they had a stark warning, saying we have to have frictionless trade.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They were threatening to withdraw business from the UK, if they don't
0:03:34 > 0:03:39get free trade they will do so. There is a fake twitter account in
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Larry's name which says I may have cost Britain a couple of billion.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You have personal experience of Larry. We will hopefully see a
0:03:48 > 0:03:53photo.There, I was at a reception at Downing Street with colleagues
0:03:53 > 0:03:57from the Jo Cox foundation which I work for, and there we are, it shows
0:03:57 > 0:04:02that Larry the cat is choosy about who he decides to fraternise with.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08He was digging his claws into my hand at the time. But there you are.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13It can be done.I that had to do a piece about the day he came to
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Downing Street, he was picked up by a colleague who he did scratch her.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22He has form. This is your paper story Steven. This is about Labour's
0:04:22 > 0:04:29policy on Brexit this time.Indeed, our Europe editor has on taped a
0:04:29 > 0:04:32memo from Brussels which is a meeting Jeremy Corbyn had with
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Michel Barnier, why it is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn
0:04:34 > 0:04:39suggested he was open to staying in the customs union rather than
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Labour's policy which is to stay in a customs union, that might sound
0:04:44 > 0:04:52like semantics but to Labour it means a lot. The party is trying to
0:04:52 > 0:04:56chart a difficult course between voters many of whom are pro-Remain,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00this memo appears to go in the middle. Labour is absolutely
0:05:00 > 0:05:05emphatic that Jeremy Corbyn said he would stay, Labour wanted Britain to
0:05:05 > 0:05:11stay in a customs union not the customs union, the problem for
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Labour is their position appears to keep shifting.We are not going to
0:05:14 > 0:05:18dwell on Brexit so let us move on to a difference rent story. We have
0:05:18 > 0:05:25heard a lot about this, in the Mirror. This is about people not
0:05:25 > 0:05:31getting seen by medical staff, they are being kept on trolleys, missing
0:05:31 > 0:05:36targets month after month. This is about Jeremy Hunt in the spotlight.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Yes, and not surprisingly it is the daily mirror that chooses to put it
0:05:40 > 0:05:44on the front-page, they campaigned vigorously on the Health Service and
0:05:44 > 0:05:49rightly too. And you know, Jeremy Hunt carries on smiling, through all
0:05:49 > 0:05:55of this, it would have been in the past politically unacceptable to
0:05:55 > 0:05:59have missed the targets month after month, something like 30 months in a
0:05:59 > 0:06:05row, but this Government seems to think they can just weather it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Providing it doesn't get massively worse they are prepared to live with
0:06:09 > 0:06:11headlines like this because they don't have the resource or choose
0:06:11 > 0:06:15not to have the resources to put into the Health Service to tackle
0:06:15 > 0:06:20the problem.Jeremy Hunt he has survived. He is one of the longest
0:06:20 > 0:06:25serving Health Secretaries.He will become the longest serving Health
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Secretary. He said the NHS staff knew what they were signing up to.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32It is a problem for the Conservative, they know that health
0:06:32 > 0:06:35really matter, it is top of the polls and they know that Jeremy
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Corbyn is doing a lot of the running on this. People like Boris Johnson
0:06:39 > 0:06:44are aware of this and he has said we have to make a commitment to
0:06:44 > 0:06:47spending the money, the Brexit Di depends as he calls it on the NHS.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51He got slapped down across the country for speaking out of turn on
0:06:51 > 0:06:56that but he hit on a problem for the Tory, they have to come up with a
0:06:56 > 0:06:59strong health offering by time of the next election. Brexit alone
0:06:59 > 0:07:02won't get them through this.The question is whether they would be
0:07:02 > 0:07:07prepared to put up taxes in the way national insurance went up under
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Labour to fund the NHS.There was an interesting debate about whether
0:07:11 > 0:07:16there should be be high pot casing, a tax that is specifically protected
0:07:16 > 0:07:22for the Health Service and for social care in the same way the
0:07:22 > 0:07:28license fee is hypothecated, directed at one bit of expenditure.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32And an NHS story on page two of the Express, a league table showing the
0:07:32 > 0:07:36number of NHS workers in England according to the nationality, that
0:07:36 > 0:07:41is from September 2017. NHS workers from 202 countries. It is
0:07:41 > 0:07:48extraordinary.It is amazing, the figures are amazing, our NHS is an
0:07:48 > 0:07:53incredible institution. There are two sides to this. These figures
0:07:53 > 0:07:56show those people working in the NHS. People are concerned will they
0:07:56 > 0:07:59still work in it after Brexit, are they leaving? The Commons report
0:07:59 > 0:08:03this is taken from shows that the number of EU staff has changed
0:08:03 > 0:08:08little since the referendum, and this is an ongoing debate. Will
0:08:08 > 0:08:12these EU nationals that are working in the NHS stay here, and what kind
0:08:12 > 0:08:16of migration controls are we going to introduce after Brexit?The
0:08:16 > 0:08:19question is the ones who are here will presumably get the right to
0:08:19 > 0:08:24stay. It is about the ones who come after.And whether people will leave
0:08:24 > 0:08:31for other reasons and the pool of available workers from EU countries
0:08:31 > 0:08:35will inevitably diminish. It is interesting the number of non-EU
0:08:35 > 0:08:40countries in the list and the top two under Britain, by far the
0:08:40 > 0:08:44largest, are from India and the Philippines before the first EU
0:08:44 > 0:08:51country, Ireland comes in in fourth place. So, I mean I am a passionate
0:08:51 > 0:08:55remainor and think that the Health Service is one of those institutions
0:08:55 > 0:09:00that will suffer badly from Becks. Others who disagree with me would
0:09:00 > 0:09:04say there is plenty of other countries able to take up the slack.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09The Metro, this story on the front-page of a number of other
0:09:09 > 0:09:19papers. Beatles Jihad dis seized. This was the gang led by Jihad
0:09:19 > 0:09:22diJohn, they are saying these two have also been captured.They have
0:09:22 > 0:09:26been at the top of a kill list for the US for some time. The Daily
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Telegraph disclosed that a while ago and the fact I have finally been
0:09:31 > 0:09:36caught comes after exhaustive effort from the US, surveillance, one of
0:09:36 > 0:09:40the questions is where will they end up. It looks likely this report has
0:09:40 > 0:09:44come out of the US, it looks likely they will end up in Guantanamo Bay
0:09:44 > 0:09:49in the US I imagine.And that presumably would be controversial
0:09:49 > 0:09:53for some. And a headache for the British Government. The British
0:09:53 > 0:09:58government has been going to lengths to try to get British citizens out,
0:09:58 > 0:10:03we oppose it, interestingly, also, apparently, these two guys have been
0:10:03 > 0:10:11squealing, they have been talking to the, their cap for -- captors and
0:10:11 > 0:10:14giving high level information, so they may be trying to negotiate
0:10:14 > 0:10:20their way to some sort of better deal, if they can get a better deal.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26Move on to the guardian now, this is ministers warning over unpaid
0:10:26 > 0:10:30interns, there is a lot on this story and making this point this is
0:10:30 > 0:10:33how people do favours, the same people end up in the same
0:10:33 > 0:10:36profession, it is hard for people to get in because of this kind of
0:10:36 > 0:10:42thing.Work experience is the way into the working work world, you
0:10:42 > 0:10:47look at this, there is statistics from the Sutton Trust, a charity and
0:10:47 > 0:10:52it estimated that 10,000 graduates are in internships six monthses
0:10:52 > 0:10:56after they leave university. A fifth are unpaid. People who have gone
0:10:56 > 0:10:59those months unpaid. I couldn't have afforded that, if you are somewhere
0:10:59 > 0:11:03in London, living in London with the living costs here or any city you
0:11:03 > 0:11:07can't afford that, so work experience would be cut off for you
0:11:07 > 0:11:12and a way into a fantastic workplace, but it is not just that
0:11:12 > 0:11:16ministers and the HMRC are been altruistic and trying to right a
0:11:16 > 0:11:20wrong. . If you are not paid you don't pay tax. There is a real
0:11:20 > 0:11:24interest there on the Government side, to do something about it.Lots
0:11:24 > 0:11:28of people were saying it was happening in Parliament and they are
0:11:28 > 0:11:34trying to clamp-down on it. Now the final story on the Independent, a
0:11:34 > 0:11:39good story for an awful lot of women, human eggs, the potential to
0:11:39 > 0:11:43become fertilised embryos are grown in a laboratory for the first time.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47It raidses hopes for women who don't of late naturally. An incredible
0:11:47 > 0:11:52breakthrough in science.It is one of those exciting science stories
0:11:52 > 0:11:59you only get now and then, to grow an egg frommish awe -- tissue is
0:11:59 > 0:12:03extraordinary. It offers hope for women, who are infertile. Older
0:12:03 > 0:12:09women and to girls who are about to undergo cancer trial.. Trial.. I is
0:12:09 > 0:12:14a remarkable find, all credit to Edinburgh University.It amazing
0:12:14 > 0:12:19progress.It shows the value of this technology, and of the research that
0:12:19 > 0:12:22has gone into it. I am pleased we live in a country where the
0:12:22 > 0:12:26scientists are allowed to get on with this.It is the fact it is
0:12:26 > 0:12:29British universities doing this work as well. Thank you. A range of
0:12:29 > 0:12:30stories there to cover.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32A range of stories there to cover.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33That's it for The Papers tonight.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online
0:12:36 > 0:12:38on the BBC News website.
