to feel like the it is starting to feel like the walsall getting closer to donald trump ‘s door and the other big development is his personalfixer michael cohen, we knew he would do a deal with the fbi, he has done a deal with the fbi, he has done a deal and suggested that he was mixed up deal and suggested that he was mixed up in election fraud and he has implicated the president. an incredible double whammy. double trouble for trump would be my headline. we have known this has been bubbling away and trump would talk about it on twitter and i'm sure his twitter feed is going crazy. is this the tip of the iceberg, it is everything going to come out? michael cohen, when the investigators went in, they got into his official papers to do with his work and he has been a controversial character involved in the suggestion of paying off women who made sexual
10:46 pm
allegations and claims of affairs with trump so everything is getting closer to his door. some comments coming in from donald trump on the paul manafort being found guilty saying he feels badly for him but saying he feels badly for him but saying the case has nothing to do with russian collusion. we will have more on that in the news at the top of the hour. we can move on to matters at home, windrush, the continuing scandal, and the guardian, which originally pushed this story very hard, got it on their front this story very hard, got it on theirfront page. this story very hard, got it on their front page. they are covering their front page. they are covering the fact that sajid javid, who became the home secretary in the fallout of the windrush scandal, they have been doing an investigation into people they believed were affected by it looked at 12,000 cases. they have said they are going to apologise to 18 people they believe were most likely to
10:47 pm
have suffered detriment because their right to be in the uk was not recognise. many will say that is a small number, it is too little, too late and it is worth remembering it is fitting it is in the guardian because none of this would have come out if they had not pushed the story. that journalist, amelia gentle man has followed this through. you can imagine she was banking on doors to get the story in the first place and the issue is the home office are saying there are 164 cases where they believe there could have been significant wrongdoing or suffering of individuals and it is only 18 they have clarified which is why 18 apologies have gone out but it looks like there will potentially be more. we have had apologies from the prime minister downwards already and now we have another formal government apology. we had the
10:48 pm
resignation of amber rudd on a technicality rather than being implicated in what happened to the windrush generation victims. crucially, many felt amber rudd was not the head that should have rolled and clearly it is still rumbling on and clearly it is still rumbling on and it will cause trouble for theresa may because she is personally implicated. amnesty are worried about how narrow, the narrowness of the official apology will stop they will have to deal with a significant number and there is talk of compensation which has been talked about before but some of these people, they do not know where they are. how you contact people who have left the country. the home office have had issues with record—keeping before. office have had issues with record-keeping before. metro, leading on an economic story with more in work but for less pay,
10:49 pm
highlighting the fact that since the crash, the number employed is up 2 million since the financial crash, but wages are dropped by £50 per month in real terms. but wages are dropped by £50 per month in realterms. this report is from the resolution foundation think—tank and it feels like every week we have a report that reminds us week we have a report that reminds us that even if economic data looks more i’osy, we are not us that even if economic data looks more rosy, we are not feeling it in oui’ more rosy, we are not feeling it in our pockets because wage growth is sluggish and people do not have as much money to spend. ten years since the beginning of the financial crisis and it feels this story we are circling back to every couple of weeks. the financialtimes are circling back to every couple of weeks. the financial times have a different story. about the amount of money philip hammond as chancellor potentially has to spend. one of the other bits of data emerging today is
10:50 pm
that lower spending and higher tax receipts mean the government borrowed 12 billion in the four months to the end ofjuly but collected 2 billion more in revenue thanit collected 2 billion more in revenue than it spent. july is among that is significant often. when a lot of freelance people pay their taxes i was told. the issue is that when you look at the previous story about the issue of money and pockets a challenge the chancellor has in the budget is there it is a significant amount to find because of the additional money for the nhs so there is talk about fuel tax rises and other tax rises which will hit individuals. to some extent it is a good news story, it is what they do with the money and whether people feel it. we are being warmed up
10:51 pm
potentially for tax rises so there might be wiggle room but i cannot see them rolling back of it. the daily telegraph, an interesting story about former criminals becoming magistrates which sounds counterintuitive. it is a suggestion by the chairman of the magistrates association who has said there is a problem with diversity among magistrates and maybe a way to tackle that is to say that we aren't going to remove the block for people who have criminal convictions because it might help us diversify magistrates which strikes me as a talking point, but perhaps not an idea that will happen. also as potentially problematic because are we suggesting that if we do that we will end up with more diversity among magistrates? that would be offensive to a lot of people. at the
10:52 pm
end of the pc says people are not applying from ethnic minorities because they have the idea people from their backgrounds do not become magistrates —— he ends the piece. from their backgrounds do not become magistrates —— he ends the piecem is an odd story. the reasons for people applying for not applying, you would not necessarily know it was about whether they had a conviction but this link he is making is particularly worrying. he talks about the labour mp david lammy who said there was a distrust in the justice system among black and ethnic minority communities. but whether that is what will change the make up... it is something about a lot of our institutions. danny boyle. he is not going to direct the next james bond because boyle. he is not going to direct the nextjames bond because there have been creative differences. he has quit. as the next bond film
10:53 pm
director. he has been taken out! that is what happens injames bond films! a great phrase creative differences and we are desperate to know what is behind it. the announcement came from the official james bond twitter account and it said both the producers and daniel craig himself were behind the decision to part with danny boyle. it begs a lot of questions. it is unusual. the figure ofjames bond, we invest heavily, it is like something we have shares in or something, we have an opinion on who should be the next james bond. you can change the formula a bit, but you have to be careful. the chairman of the james bond international fan clu b of the james bond international fan club has made that point about danny boyle potentially having a fresh approach that seemed exciting at the beginning but potentially was not
10:54 pm
the right fit. they must have known that when they hired him. they are close to filming. he was only announced earlier this year that he would take over. i think the film is due to be released next october. they will have to to get their skates on to get a replacement. most of the talk about who is the next james bond because daniel craig is not continuing in the role, after this film. we associated danny boyle with the olympics, when the queen jumped out of the plane in the sketch, which is when he was connected to the job and it seemed brilliant. it is sad news. i think it will be interesting to see who comes forward and these big directors are notjust comes forward and these big directors are not just available. comes forward and these big directors are notjust available. of these productions are huge. people will go to see the movie whoever does it. we are available to direct
