n—rur gaff steve, your paper leading off on the continuing anti—semitism row in the labour party. once again, jeremy corbyn finding events from his pastor catching up with him. this is an event he hosted in parliament in 2010, entitled from auschwitz to gaza and may direct comparisons between ozzie germany and israel today. it was very controversial at the time. held on holocaust memorial today —— today, which seemed very provocative to the jewish today —— today, which seemed very provocative to thejewish community. some dissenters attended the event and alleged thatjeremy corbyn singled them out. police been through some of those dissenters out and he says it is false but he has admitted that he shared platforms with people whose views he com pletely with people whose views he completely rejects. so once again, it is politically very difficult for him ata it is politically very difficult for him at a time when he should be focusing arguably on tory policies and on the problems and government. he did issue a —— an apology, did he not? yeah, he is trying to manage

this situation, trying to navigate between the things he has said in the past, the things key allies of his navigate through all of that and not he himself into more hot water later. because recall there are these key elections coming up for that national executive committee and he wants his candidate selected because this is a moment when they absolutely could submit their control of the labour party and it is crucial to the jeremy corbyn project. i think the question now is how was the managed not by the jeremy corbyn supporters who love him and control the party but how will a managed by those millions who are labour supporters and labour mps? are labour supporters and labour mp5? how will they proceed as we up to the labour party conference, can they 5urvive to the labour party conference, can they survive a in this party or will they survive a in this party or will they try and perform some sort of two or exit i5? they try and perform some sort of two or exit is? ok, let's go to the

express with a story that we have been running a lot today. northamptonshire county council in dire financial crisis. got to come up dire financial crisis. got to come up with a £70 million by march. it says they cannot pay for care services. this is extraordinary. the scale of the debt, £7o services. this is extraordinary. the scale of the debt, £70 million of cause and they have to find that this year and possibly next year. a huge amount of cuts academic services that really matter to people. this is exactly the kind of story thatjimmy carter would hope to make front—page news out of. you can argue these are tory cuts and this is the affect of them. you can make a counter argument that this is chronic misspending by a tory run council but either way, this is on page two of the express and give jeremy corbyn had his way, the one on the front page of every paper. we have inherited hearing today that there are other county councils that might be in a lot of trouble as well. not only northamptonshire, not going to be a one—off. well. not only northamptonshire, not going to be a one-off. the

government has borne a huge amount of cuts 5ince government has borne a huge amount of cuts since 2010. they have been basically at the front line of delivering austerity and fiscal consolidation because the nhs is a protected and increasingly other more popular departments like education or defence get rolled into that. the local governments end being decimated. they have notju5t conservative council5 have presented to raise council tax and build up their own resources and some mini5ter5 their own resources and some ministers to stop them from doing that. but st 5y5tem ministers to stop them from doing that. but st system that we do not have a position at the moment. they ought to make hay of this but they are instead lost in their own battle. government is 5urviving despite the fact that it is really pretty bad. zimbabwe in the guardian. a couple of other front pages as well, actually. the army opened fire on protesters is the headline in the guardian and the three dead is the latest death toll we have. it is so sad. there seem to

be such hoagland robert mikami fell from power just a be such hoagland robert mikami fell from powerjust a few months ago. and the election seemed to go peacefully. and now there is violence on the street. this was a moment of hope. the moment where democracy returned after the mugabe yea rs. democracy returned after the mugabe years. here we are, days after the election now, people with frustration and violence on the streets and there are signs the armed forces and police were taking very... shooting protesters, basically. an incredible dispatch from adjacent bar, who talks of smoke filling the sky on cracked pavement, there was glass and in some places blood. it was very dramatic. the army opened fire with live ammunition, pretty terrified. they remind you this is a key component of democracy is the peaceful transfer of power. but that to happen, people have to have confidence in the elections, and there is always detailing to people administering elections are people with government and the opposition

i5 with government and the opposition is often going to react badly to that. nevertheless, progre55 is often going to react badly to that. neverthele55, progress has been made. it leads to robert mugabe i5 been made. it leads to robert mugabe is not in charge. i think zimbabwe can move forward from this, certainly if they can get through thi5 certainly if they can get through this period and get to elections that everyone is happy with. that is the hope, is it not? neither side seems to back down from the results. we do not have the result of president yet. we need to see how that lamp5. president yet. we need to see how that lamps. there is a great picture on the front page of your paper, state, the telegraph, which is quite interesting of how to use a slightly different kind of photo, a different kind of images of the story. this is a protester in the capital with a traffic bombardments and to protect them. to protect him from the violence and objects being thrown but it is a very striking image.

look at the counter, he grabs you and the page and eight great bit of page design for my colleagues. shout out to them. it brings to light that 5en5e out to them. it brings to light that sense of violence and threat on the 5treet5 sense of violence and threat on the streets in zimbabwe. yet to be pretty concerned for your old job eight ball art on your head. the ft with the house of fraser, and other high street store chain in crisis and in dire jeopardy. high street store chain in crisis and in direjeopardy. we're asking ourselves what is happening on the high street. pretty grim stuff. house of fraser employs 5000 people. it was due to be taken over by a chinese firm, a household name with hamleys. it leys to fighting for a survivor. they pulled out because they are in trouble themselves. this company, house of fraser by in 1819, everybody knows it. it is in serious

trouble and many other places on the high street. you have to ask yourselves is the highest regard to look at us today in five years' time the? it will not. technology is changing the way we 5hop the? it will not. technology is changing the way we shop and it is hollowing out our high street. many are doing innovative thing5 hollowing out our high street. many are doing innovative things were you get empty 5hop5 are doing innovative things were you get empty shops and fill them with other kinds of activity, from a youth centres to drop in places for older people. we do something to five 5pace5 older people. we do something to five spaces that were, they can maintain our public ground because otherwise, we will allju5t end up blogging into everything on mobile phones and never leaving the house. let's cheer ourselves up with a prospect of the world cup here in 2030. they can better reason to leave the house, i cannot think of a better one. imagine how great it would be to replicate that ru55ian world cup without all of the horror of the politics of russia and have anglo performing on home turf. it is very, very early days. this is

cla55ic from the fa. let'5 very, very early days. this is cla55ic from the fa. let's get ma55ively ahead of ourselves are really excited about the role come oi'i really excited about the role come on home turf when all we are doing i5 on home turf when all we are doing is considering maybe bidding. but let'5 is considering maybe bidding. but let's hope so. and we had on holder, we might actually win as in 1966.m could be coming home and we could potentially win it. but hopefully the players would be ready by then. the 5ummon5 of national optimism that we had a 2012 olympics it replicated, it is extraordinary in ata time replicated, it is extraordinary in at a time when we do have our high 5treet5 falling apart, we do have everything from brexit to anti—semiti5m dominated new5, would not be wonderful? what about a joint bid with scotland and wales and northern ireland ? bid with scotland and wales and northern ireland? sounds occur a terrific idea. good for the union as well. what may not have an alibi than the one the government is going. let's go onto the times. drink dementia. a bit of country
