tv The Papers BBC News August 28, 2018 11:30pm-12:00am BST
11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with rebecca jones. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: a fire has destroyed a primark store in a historic building in belfast, which has been in the city for nearly 250 years. fire officials say the building could collapse. theresa may has called for a new trading partnership with africa after brexit, saying she wants britain to become the g7‘s leading investor in africa. police have carried out raids in birmingham to trace a 21—year—old janbaz tarin, who they want to question after the murders of his former partner and her mother. thousands of fans have been paying their last respects to aretha franklin in her hometown of detroit. her body is lying in an open casket for two days at the city's african—american history museum. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
11:31 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are michael booker, deputy editor of the daily express, and the broadcaster lynn faulds wood. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian's lead is theresa may suggesting she'll fight the next general election. the daily express also features the prime minister who's promising to deliver brexit. the top story in the times is a report on five—year—old pupils being excluded for bad behaviour. the telegraph leads with the former chief rabbi's comments onjeremy corbyn. the mail goes with the same story, focusing on the labour leader's alleged remarks. the ft‘s front page carries a warning from the pensions regulator, urging some company schemes to offer reduced benefits. the i leads on a breakthrough
11:32 pm
in the treatment of heart attacks. and the metro's top story is about two policemen being attacked while making arrests in east london. so a varied set of front pages, let's take a look at some in more detail. and why don't we start with the guardian and a picture of theresa may dancing, as mac —— lynn would say, doing the dancebot. she said i suspect my dancing might not make it on to strictly. i will fight any challenge to my leadership, is the headline. she can't get away from politics at home. no, they will talk about it when borisjohnson is here, thatis about it when borisjohnson is here, that is the case, and theresa may said she would fight off any
11:33 pm
leadership challenge from boris johnson, suggesting she would leave the conservatives to the next general election, she says she is there for the long—term, you would do, and she says she will deliver for the british people and deliver the brexit the people want. she has been accused of talking in the broad soundbite ways and going to africa hasn't knocked that out of her. i suppose she has to say that. some people are looking forward to the tory party conference coming up. there is talk of borisjohnson talking about his vision for brexit, whether it is a vision or a plan, it will get the eurosceptics and the brexiteers in the tory party very energised and i am sure with the likes of jacob rees—mogg energised and i am sure with the likes ofjacob rees—mogg backing him to be the leader of the tory party. she wants to have a good tory party conference and it is clearly on her mind because she is talking about the domestic agenda and the great thing she has done, getting young people on the housing ladder, which
11:34 pm
iam sure people on the housing ladder, which i am sure is something that you would disagree with.” i am sure is something that you would disagree with. i am apolitical. it will be a short conference. she doesn't want to talk about brexit and borisjohnson but u nfortu nately about brexit and borisjohnson but unfortunately she is talking about both. the most telling paragraph in this piece on the guardian was she was on another tv station and she said, when she said... she said... i have lost it. oh, yes, about boris, i was very pleased boris was foreign secretary for the period he was foreign secretary, that is the most telling bit of all of that. he was out of trouble and away when he was foreign secretary, but now that he aint, the speculation is he will try to come up with a different brexit for the tory party conference. how frustrating is it that she is in south africa drumming up trade deals and all we are talking about is
11:35 pm
borisjohnson and all we are talking about is boris johnson and leadership challenges? she brought it on herself by talking about all of this on the plane on the way over. she knew that she would have to learn is the boiled so to speak. it is out of the boiled so to speak. it is out of the way. hopefully now lancing is off the menu and she can get on with doing the deals —— lance the boil. there is talk about certain deals in the pipeline with africa. people say that's embarrassing. we are trying to do the big deals with the rest of the world and we are doing some small deals with africa. they all add up. they add up to £17 billion. europe is £243 billion i think, so you would be better to concentrate on europe, but still, i am all for helping to sort things out in africa. let's move on to the daily mail, jeremy corbyn‘s rivers of blood moment, this is a reference to comments from jonathan sacks,
11:36 pm
accusing the labour leader of suggesting jews are not fully british and compared comments from jeremy corbyn allegedly making about zionists not having a sense of irony, with enoch powell's rivers of blood speech from the late 1960s, first of all, making the connection between jeremy corbyn first of all, making the connection betweenjeremy corbyn and enoch powell, that seems quite a significant intervention, doesn't it? when you read the aspects of the speech in several papers i think he has gone way over the top on this. yes, he wrote an article in the new statesman. yes, probably, though it is not mentioned in here —— new statesman. but it is really over the top and rivers of blood was such a horrific speech, i really don't think this equates. but i am completely fed up with the labour
11:37 pm
party, and i support no political party, getting stuck in this anti—semitism point, more than a point, it is a serious damage to the labour party and there are a third ofa labour party and there are a third of a millionjews in labour party and there are a third of a million jews in this labour party and there are a third of a millionjews in this country and a lot of them don't know along with these sort of comments of lord sacks. a lot of them are worried about a country governed byjeremy corbyn‘s labour. about a country governed byjeremy corbyn's labour. i am very worried about it when you can't sort this out. how can you run a country if you can't sort this? what they ought to do is go with the international definition of anti—semitism, probably, there is a solution for them, and they are not even willing to go along with that. there is some talk, michael, am i right that the national executive committee, labour's ruling council, meets next week and maybe they could accept that definition? however, there is going to be a free—speech clause inserted into this. they will accept
11:38 pm
it, put in the free—speech clause, which means you can criticise israel. you can imagine that will open up the door to make more comments like this. he was on video making these comments. and you could see why it is deeply offensive to the jewish people. he says of course that the comments were taken out of context. he was defending the palestinian ambassador, that's what he says, but he hasn't apologised, he says, but he hasn't apologised, he has to clarify what he says rather than apologise, and he doesn't seem to want to apologise to the jewish people doesn't seem to want to apologise to thejewish people in this country. doesn't seem to want to apologise to the jewish people in this country.” think it would be very simple for him to sort this out, they are just being stubborn. i know he is sticking to his principles, but he was a rebel for most of his career in parliament, 30 years in parliament, and he has to learn that to bea parliament, and he has to learn that to be a leader you have to find a way... he has also spent time with lots of dodgy people. a lot of them have. a lot of them perhaps have as
11:39 pm
well. let's turn to the financial times, trump on google, donald trump attacks on google, ratchets up claims of bias on silicon valley, donald trump saying google is effectively suppressing positive news about him. that's what he would say. the idea now is, larry kudlow, his economic adviser, came out and said yes, we are looking to regulate google, so if it is criticising you, regulate it, get it out of existence. threaten them, tell them to pipe down, so they are malleable. he was wandering around the white house early in the morning at around 6am on his smartphone, googling his name to see what was going on in his dressing down and he didn't like what he saw, so he started tweeting about it, he said google is suppressing voices of the conservatives, hiding information in the news of what is good about what we do, but unfortunately he seems to
11:40 pm
think that they are doctoring the algorithm so people see the bad news but he doesn't realise he generates quite a lot of bad news u nfortu nately. quite a lot of bad news unfortunately. he is brilliant at diverging attention. he is great for us! it is great for newspapers. it is absolutely horrible for his behaviour in the past. and for the re st of behaviour in the past. and for the rest of the world, this is a cce pta ble rest of the world, this is acceptable behaviour... he might turn out to be brilliant as a president, but he is certainly the worst with his attitude and his bullying, and that sets a bad example. he's simply trying to do this thing for his personal gain, that's the worry. when you have a totalitarian state, when they start totalitarian state, when they start to get involved in the media, and he already has people worried in the media, thinking that they are the enemy, people in america take what he says, fake news is the enemy. mainstream conservatives think perhaps that their voice isn't hurt as much in the mainstream. because he is too busy shouting over them. the reasonable right—wing in america
11:41 pm
isn't being listened to because he dominates. if he had a moment of silence, there would not be all of these stories. this has generated a huge amount on google today which will be negative for him again. it is self fulfilling. he is so sure that he is the cleverest man in the world. he is not! the guy who wrote the art of the deal with him, tony schwartz, says he thinks he has gone nuts —— art of the deal. schwartz, says he thinks he has gone nuts -- art of the deal. that is in quotations, i take it? he nuts -- art of the deal. that is in quotations, itake it? he used nuts -- art of the deal. that is in quotations, i take it? he used the word nuts, something like losing his marbles, and he thinks he has lost it. this is a quotation from this book, is it? from the man who co—wrote it. book, is it? from the man who co-wrote it. moving onto the daily express, butt ends draining on marine life, cigarette buts ending up marine life, cigarette buts ending up in the water? yes, because people put them down the drain, for
11:42 pm
example, we've all seen people doing that. not people stubbing it out on the beach? no, this is the drain, it goes into the system. it gets into the water and cigarettes have lovely arsenic and lead in them, this is an express story, sol arsenic and lead in them, this is an express story, so i will... promoting your own product, and there are 4 million uk smokers throwing a butt down the train last month. the biggest reason why we are doing well on cancer figures, not that we are doing very well, but we are doing better, is because people feel... not to cure us of cancer, but this is a serious point. i live in an area where there is quite a lot of... a reasonable area, twickenham, richmond. a lot of cigarette butt is dropped in the street, they are swept into the drains and they apparently poisoned
11:43 pm
fish. a third of people who smoke every day thought they were filtered out through water treatment. they don't worry. it doesn't end up in the sea. but it does. and we have been concentrating on plastics and clogging up the sea. it says in here... one cigarette butt per litre of water is highly toxic to fish. just one cigarette butt is killing fish. so you would imagine with 4 million down the drain every month it isa million down the drain every month it is a wonder we have any fish in the sea left! what keep britain tidy is to be the butt. —— bin the butt. i suspect a lot of people won't have known that. ronnie vegas, the comedian, was fined 150 quid for sticking a cigarette butt down the drain. that will learn him! that was
11:44 pm
in doncaster. i hope he has read the paperand he in doncaster. i hope he has read the paper and he will realise why. the times, dozens five—year—old pupils excluded for bad behaviour, carrying on... this is tomorrow's times, this is today's times which led with pupils being excluded in order to drive up the gcse tables, so have they got a on this? there are dozens of five —year—olds and more than 1500 children ten and under in these exclusion units which are pupil referral units, they take them out of the mainstream education because they are deemed to be too disruptive to be taught in a normal school. and there is... they seem to be unhappy with it, the times, they say these classes have doubled in size in the last six years. many of these children shouldn't really be in there. and the charity says these children need particular care removing them from mainstream
11:45 pm
education could be more damaging for them and the units have been linked with gangs as well. and people are learning how to become a gang member. it is not the thousands and thousands, 1500 throughout the country. i started off life as a teacher before i became a journalist. one child actually hit me, and there are some disturbed children. this was a disturbed children. this was a disturbed child, who should not have been at school. so if we are saying that these children are not suitable to be in school, because they have got problems, then we need to find a better way to deal with them than putting them in exclusion units, where they are then branded as a failure. the examples they give, there is one kid who attacked a teacher with a hockey stick. there is another who attacked a teacher as they bent over, but then it says
11:46 pm
there is an autistic girl here for teaching assistants, so she may be a totally different case to the other two. doesn't have the same control over what she is doing as the other ones. if you put them all in the same area, that is not good for her. it is basically saying if you end up ina pru, it is basically saying if you end up in a pru, you have had it, and if thatis in a pru, you have had it, and if that is true, then we need to change the way we treat these children. if it is not true, then this is overdramatised as a story. it wouldn't be the first time, i suppose. the times is also saying why longer holidays can add years to your life. music to my ears. so what is this all about? taking more than three weeks' holiday a year. all in one go? it isjust you need more holidays when you are stressed, and they are saying here that one of the reasons we are stressed as we are
11:47 pm
all being told to eat more healthy and take more exercise, and this is so stressful that the results can be fatal. the stress of trying to live more healthy and take more exercise without extended breaks can be fatal. and who is saying this? this isa fatal. and who is saying this? this is a research from the university of helsinki. they have been doing this for about 40 years, looking at research in the 1970s. 1200 businessmen. no businesswomen. it was sexist back in the 1970s. they looked at their lifestyles, and the ones who were taught to eat healthy and look after themselves still died early. they wondered why and they thought this was very puzzling. it was also the people who didn't take enough time off. it was the holidays which seemed to be the factor which was killing them. rather than the fa ct was killing them. rather than the fact that they knew exactly how to look after themselves, they were stressed businessmen, not taking long enough holidays, so they were
11:48 pm
dying early. how do they know it is because they were not taking enough holidays? i have filmed in finland, and they are really good at health studies, so this might be true. on the other hand, it is one study. do we wa nt the other hand, it is one study. do we want to knock a study that gives us we want to knock a study that gives us longer holidays? we don't want to knock the story... we want people to eat more healthily and to live better, and to have holidays. so thatis better, and to have holidays. so that is the perfect combo. talking about eating more healthy, according to the telegraph, cheese and meat, which i thought we were supposed to be restricting to live longer, i am now being told is going to help my heart. today's dogma is tomorrow's heresy. ignore it. just try and eat healthy. one week you are told us is bad for you, now it is healthy, and
11:49 pm
now cheese and meat and you will live longer. people are completely confused at what they should do, so they give up. it would be much better if they stopped having... sorry, newspaperman, stop having different health stories confuse people every week. this is mcmaster university in canada, and they have found eating three portions of dairy and one portion of meat a day can cut your early risk of death by a quarter. who sponsored this? was at the cheese and meat industry that sponsored this? this was independent scientific research. a lot of this stuff is sponsored. so we can all have cheeseburgers, presumably. stuff is sponsored. so we can all have cheeseburgers, presumablym you combine this with a long holiday, if you take a long holiday in switzerland, you can have cheese and meat in the fondue. so a holiday in switzerland with all the food on offer and we will live forever. when we talk about portions, i am confused by that. i didn't know until we read this that we are only
11:50 pm
supposed to be, according to the nhs, eating two small slices of cheese and wine yoghurt a day.“ that living? —— one yoghurt. the nhs, the british government, all governments, should stop being prescriptive about what you do, because it just makes prescriptive about what you do, because itjust makes you completely confused. and if you are told you can have two small slices of cheese without showing what it looks like, what we should do is instead get the government to take sugar out of all of these chocolate things that children are having for breakfast, all of these breakfast bars, and we look at the content of sugar and it is huge. let's instead have a proper look at the food industry and stop them flogging stuff that is full of salt and sugar, and stop telling us
11:51 pm
a different story every day on how to be healthy. and michael and i can ta ke to be healthy. and michael and i can take longer holidays. we will go out the fondue. we can't go into that again. 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: and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you michael booker and thank you lynn faulds wood. goodbye. you are live at the bbc sport centre with me, chris mitchell. johanna konta is out of the us open, losing in straight sets to caroline garcia. after a run of poor performance, she
11:52 pm
was unseeded, and garcia took the first set 6—2. johanna konta's fortu nes first set 6—2. johanna konta's fortunes have improved recently, with a win over serena williams, but there was little sign of recovery here. the second set went the same way. novak djokovic dropped a set but was through to the second round. he struggled in the heat but after a ten minute heat break in which both players had iced laughs, he came through in four sets. west ham survived a huge scare at afc wimbledon in the carabao cup. the league one side took the lead afterjust two minutes, joe pigott with the goal. wimbledon then had a man sent off, but it took west ham until the hour mark to level things up, issa diop with this thumping strike. angelo ogbonna then put the premier league side in front, before javier hernandez added a third, to make things look a lot simpler for west ham than they actually were.
11:53 pm
21 ties being played in all. you can get all of them on the website. a couple of upsets, as burton beat aston villa, norwich beat cardiff. leeds have been going great guns in the championship, but lost at home to preston. saido berahino scored his first goal for stoke city. he has been there 18 months. they beat huddersfield 2—0. a full list of results on the bbc sport website and app. jamie vardy and gary cahill have both effectively retired from international football. they have both asked not to be selected for future england squads, but say they are not shutting the door, and would consider playing again if there was an injury crisis. cahill was part of southgate's squad
11:54 pm
this summer but only played once, in the group match against belgium. he does that with 61 caps and five goals. i think it is time i take a step back now. i think it is the right moment to do that. i have been hugely proud of what i have achieved in terms of the 60 caps, i have captained my country on a few occasions. it is something i have been proud of in my career and it is time for a younger generation, it is time for a younger generation, it is time for a younger generation, it is time for me to take a step back now, isa time for me to take a step back now, is a perfect time. england's jonny bairstow says he hope to keep wicket in the fourth test against india at southampton this week. that is despite breaking a finger in the third test at trent bridge. the fourth test will get under way on thursday at southampton. england are 2—1 up in the five match series. ? ? newelement i think are 2—1 up in the five match series. ? ?newelement i think it feels good. obviously we will know more later on
11:55 pm
today, but the swelling has gone down, and it is a lot better than i thought it was going to be. if i am not able to keep wicket, then i would like to play as batsmen, but at the same time i am desperate to try and keep my place as the keeper. and before we go news that the president of the us has been sent off... yellow cards and red cards. yellow ca rd yellow cards and red cards. yellow card as a warning, and when you want to kick out someone... it could be fa ke to kick out someone... it could be fake news, of course, promoting the 2026 world cup, which will be held in north america. that is all a sport for now. see you later. —— the sport. your latest live weather update,
11:56 pm
more of us seeing sunny spells as the week goes on. want to get past a couple of weather systems giving us some rain, at the moment this one providing rain into scotland and northern ireland. this one has been pushing up some outbreaks of rain into parts of southern england. some of this will turn heavy as the night goes on. so this is how the rest of the night is shaping up, through this zone here. some heavy bursts of rain sliding further east into more of south—east england and east anglia. rain begins to clearfrom scotla nd anglia. rain begins to clearfrom scotland and northern ireland, and under clearing skies, temperatures dip away into single figures. a fresher feel but a humid dip away into single figures. a fresherfeel but a humid night across england and wales. in the tomorrow, still some rain affecting parts of east anglia and south—east england. could be heavy in places, probably the last of that clearing lunchtime at the latest. a weak weather front crosses in england and wales, the rain on that fizzling out, really. this is the picture at four p.m.. on the breeze, a feat of showers in the north—east scotland, sunshine in between. elsewhere in
11:57 pm
scotland, mainly dry as it will be in northern ireland. the odd shower in the west can't be ruled out. sunny skies developing across northern england, wales, eventually the midlands, a stray shower but most will have a dry afternoon. a weakening weather front will eventually reach east anglia and south—east england. the rain clears away, the sun comes out, cloud clears again, but may be a late they shower. as night falls we are weather system free. it will be dry with clearing skies and a chilly start to thursday as this ridge of high built—in. it will be chilly with widespread single figure temperatures to start thursday. they will be plenty of sunshine. the cloud will build. you can see this process under way, the cloud may produce a shower, maybe more so towards western scotland. most will be dry, expect cloud building but still some sunny spells. a pleasant day, with high teens and a few spots into the low 20s. friday is looking
11:58 pm
fairly similar, but before we get to that let sum up what we are expecting after we get into our rainy weather systems. the rest of the week mainly dry, but remember those chilly nights. this is how friday and saturday are shaping up. more clouds starting to build into the western side of the uk. sunny spells just about anywhere at times as we go into the weekend and it sta rts as we go into the weekend and it starts to get that little bit warmer as well. as ever, there is a forecast for where you are or where you are going available on our website. goodbye. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: after myanmar‘s military is accused of genocide against the rohingya, the un security council calls for accountability. innocent human beings were raped, murdered and burned alive for no other reason than their religious and ethnic identity. the whole world is watching what we will do next and if we will act. air pollution may damage the brain and cause a massive drop in intelligence. a shock warning from china. hello.
