the metro says the last two briutishjihadi's from the beheading gang known as "the beatles" have been captured in syria. the i goes with the same story, and a look ahead to the winter olympics, which officially begin tomorrow. the telegraph reports jeremy corbyn told eu chief negotiator michel barnier that labour was open to keeping the uk in the eu customs union. the guardian leads with a government crackdown on unpaid internships. so a mixed—bag of front pages there, thank you both forjoining us tonight, let's hear what you make of some of those stories. let us start with the ft and this signalfrom the let us start with the ft and this signal from the bank of england, that rate rises are on the way, presumably to make sure inflation is keptin presumably to make sure inflation is kept in check. exactly. this is about trying to dampen inflation, what we are talking about is is a doubling of interest rates from 0.5%

to is %. i cover politics, a lot of stories matter but this is important because it directly affects our readers and their pockets, if you have a mortgage, this means your payments will go up. if you are a saver it is good news because you will get more interest on your savings. i bet there is a lag between the higher interest rate, we have got used to low interest rates. it will be a shock. a relatively small rise. it is not that long ago when interest rates were much higher. it is interest, it is not the first time the governor of the bank of england and the monetary policy committee have warned of rate rises to come without putting them up. it makes you wonder whether issues that warning is part of the policy whether they hope the people will factor that in and it might have a dampening effect. the other

picture on the front—page this is the japanese were in town in downing street, particularly the car industry, the japanese ambassador, that little altercation with larry the cat. i don't know what was happening there, he wasn't playing for the cameras. this is before they went in. maybe larry was concerned that the japanese businessmen weren't going to give theresa may the message they wanted and he was turning tail and refusing to play ball. he is very picky. he had -- they had a stark warning, saying we have to have frictionless trade. they were threatening to withdraw business from the uk, if they don't get free trade they will do so. there is a fake twitter account in larry's name which says i may have cost britain a couple of billion. you have personal experience of larry. we will hopefully see a photo. there, i was at a reception at downing street with colleagues from thejo cox at downing street with colleagues from the jo cox foundation at downing street with colleagues from thejo cox foundation which i work for, and there we are, it shows

that larry the cat is choosy about who he decides to fraternise with. he was digging his claws into my hand at the time. but there you are. it can be done. i that had to do a piece about the day he came to downing street, he was picked up by a colleague who he did scratch her. he has form. this is your paper story steven. this is about labour's policy on brexit this time. indeed, out policy on brexit this time. indeed, our europe editor has on taped a memo from brussels which is a meeting jeremy corbyn had with michel barnier, why it is interesting thatjeremy michel barnier, why it is interesting that jeremy corbyn suggested he was open to staying in the customs union rather than labour's policy which is to stay in a customs union, that might sound like semantics but to labour it means a lot. the party is trying to chart a difficult course between vote rs chart a difficult course between voters many of whom are pro—remain,

this memo appears to go in the middle. labour is absolutely emphatic that jeremy corbyn said he would stay, labour wanted britain to stay in a customs union not the customs union, the problem for labour is their position appears to keep shifting. we are not going to dwell on brexit so let us move on to a difference rent story. we have heard a lot about this, in the mirror. this is about people not getting seen by medical staff, they are being kept on trolleys, missing targets month after month. this is aboutjeremy hunt in the spotlight. yes, and not surprisingly it is the daily mirror that chooses to put it on the front—page, they campaigned vigorously on the health service and rightly too. and you know, jeremy hunt carries on smiling, through all of this, it would have been in the past politically unacceptable to have missed the targets month after

month, something like 30 months in a row, but this government seems to think they can just weather it. providing it doesn't get massively worse they are prepared to live with headlines like this because they don't have the resource or choose not to have the resources to put into the health service to tackle the problem. jeremy hunt he has survived. he is one of the longest serving health secretaries. he will become the longest serving health secretary. he said the nhs staff knew what they were signing up to. it isa knew what they were signing up to. it is a problem for the conservative, they know that health really matter, it is top of the polls and they know that jeremy corbyn is doing a lot of the running on this. people like borisjohnson are aware of this and he has said we have to make a commitment to spending the money, the brexit di depends as he calls it on the nhs. he got slapped down across the country for speaking out of turn on that but he hit on a problem for the tory, they have to come up with a

strong health offering by time of the next election. brexit alone won't get them through this. the question is whether they would be prepared to put up taxes in the way national insurance went up under labour to fund the nhs. there was an interesting debate about whether there should be be high pot casing, a tax that is specifically protected for the health service and for social care in the same way the license fee is hypothecated, directed at one bit of expenditure. and an nhs story on page two of the express, a league table showing the number of nhs workers in england according to the nationality, that is from september 2017. nhs workers from 202 countries. it is extraordinary. it is amazing, the figures are amazing, our nhs is an incredible institution. there are two sides to this. these figures show those people working in the nhs. people are concerned will they

still work in it after brexit, are they leaving? the commons report this is taken from shows that the numberof eu this is taken from shows that the number of eu staff has changed little since the referendum, and this is an ongoing debate. will these eu nationals that are working in the nhs stay here, and what kind of migration controls are we going to introduce after brexit? the question is the ones who are here will presumably get the right to stay. it is about the ones who come after. and whether people will leave for other reasons and the pool of available workers from eu countries will inevitably diminish. it is interesting the number of non—eu countries in the list and the top two under britain, by far the largest, are from india and the philippines before the first eu country, ireland comes in in fourth place. so, i mean i am a passionate remainor and think that the health service is one of those institutions

that will suffer badly from becks. 0thers that will suffer badly from becks. others who disagree with me would say there is plenty of other countries able to take up the slack. the metro, this story on the front—page of a number of other papers. beatles jihad front—page of a number of other papers. beatlesjihad dis seized. this was the gang led byjihad dijohn, they are saying these two have also been captured. they have been at the top of a kill list for the us for some time. the daily telegraph disclosed that a while ago and the fact i have finally been caught comes after exhaustive effort from the us, surveillance, one of the questions is where will they end up. it looks likely this report has come out of the us, it looks likely they will end up in guantanamo bay in the us i imagine. and that presumably would be controversial for some. and a headache for the british government. the british government has been going to lengths to try to get british citizens out,

we oppose it, interestingly, also, apparently, these two guys have been squealing, they have been talking to the, their cap for —— captors and giving high level information, so they may be trying to negotiate their way to some sort of better deal, if they can get a better deal. move on to the guardian now, this is ministers warning over unpaid interns, there is a lot on this story and making this point this is how people do favours, the same people end up in the same profession, it is hard for people to get in because of this kind of thing. work experience is the way into the working work world, you look at this, there is statistics from the sutton trust, a charity and it estimated that 10,000 graduates are in internships six monthses after they leave university. a fifth are unpaid. people who have gone

those months unpaid. i couldn't have afforded that, if you are somewhere in london, living in london with the living costs here or any city you can't afford that, so work experience would be cut off for you and a way into a fantastic workplace, but it is notjust that ministers and the hmrc are been altruistic and trying to right a wrong. . if you are not paid you don't pay tax. there is a real interest there on the government side, to do something about it. lots of people were saying it was happening in parliament and they are trying to clamp—down on it. now the final story on the independent, a good story for an awful lot of women, human eggs, the potential to become fertilised embryos are grown ina become fertilised embryos are grown in a laboratory for the first time. it raidses hopes for women who don't of late naturally. an incredible breakthrough in science. it is one of those exciting science stories you only get now and then, to grow

an egg frommish awe —— tissue is extraordinary. it offers hope for women, who are infertile. older women, who are infertile. older women and to girls who are about to undergo cancer trial.. trial.. i is a remarkable find, all credit to edinburgh university. it amazing progress. it shows the value of this technology, and of the research that has gone into it. i am pleased we live in a country where the scientists are allowed to get on with this. it is the fact it is british universities doing this work as well. thank you. a range of stories there to cover. a range of stories there to cover. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme, any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. dumbarton good evening. north and

i'm vicky young. the headlines at 11pm: hospital a&e‘s in england record one of their worst ever waiting times last month, with a thousand patients trapped on trolleys for more than 12 hours. adding to the problems in hospitals, a report finds social care is being undermined by a lack of government planning and funding. interest rates remain on hold for now, but the bank of england says they could rise sooner than anticipated following stronger global growth. and on newsnight tonight, on the eve of a big exhibition, the designer and activist katherine hamnett talks about political teeshirts and this unique one she wore for a memorable meeting with mrs thatcher in 1984.
