but the conditions have drastically changed... which will please the dodgers... 0ur reporter chris mitchell as well. is there any chance of this coming on when this world series? is there any chance of this coming on when this world serie57m is there any chance of this coming on when this world series? it is a good question. and a question that a lot of reporters, there are hundreds of us standing around and watching the dodgers do batting practise and what we are being asked. the answer to the question is if you look at the history of the world series for the history of the world series for the dodgers have a very small chance of coming back. i can tell you one thing for certain, if they go 3—0 down, then no team has ever come back from that. that is why the general manager here for the dodgers dave roberts is saying this is a must win game. i know he is bound to say that, but history shows that it really is. they were terrible really. in boston. did not live up to their expectations at all. the thing is about the batting side of things for the doctors is that they we re things for the doctors is that they were getting themselves into does

the additions of power, giving men on the basis around the infield but they were not getting them on. so they were not getting them on. so they were not getting the runs that they were not getting the runs that they deserve from the positions they we re they deserve from the positions they were getting themselves into. if you ta ke were getting themselves into. if you take a look at the red sox, that is com pletely take a look at the red sox, that is completely different. there were doing themselves into an awful lot of stubble, but still managing to make the runs. wejust of stubble, but still managing to make the runs. we just did of stubble, but still managing to make the runs. wejust did here in front of the red sox dugout. that is how close we are to the action here at the moment. there's the infield and the players practising. this is where the red sox will sit. and hopefully, in their mind, take a 3—0 lead. ijust hopefully, in their mind, take a 3—0 lead. i just wanted hopefully, in their mind, take a 3—0 lead. ijust wanted to give you an idea of the kind of access that we are getting here. we can actually go in and take a look and said don't ask it for some of the stars will sit. it is quite incredible to be able to sit here and imagine that you're going to go out shortly and perhaps get the running home run. what you think my chances are? of the winning home run? pretty good. you look athletic. hey! ithink the winning home run? pretty good. you look athletic. hey! i think we should leave it there. thank you very much. i've got news for you,

absolutely no chance. it's a bit dark there in the dugout. this metal there in boston for the world series. but for me and all the sports team here at the bbc sportscenter, good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and broadcaster natalie haynes and rob merrick, deputy political editor at the independent. welcome to both of you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. here they are, a flavour of them at least. let's start with the times where the lead is the continuing fallout for lord hain after he used parliamentary privilege to name

sir philip green as the businessman behind the injunctions. the telegraph says the conservative peer and apprentice star lady brady has been drawn into the story. she was brought into the arcadia retail empire after the bhs pension scandal. the financial times reports on the continuing fall in the value of us stocks as the threat of trade wars and the end of financial stimulus programmes put pressure on wall street. the top story in the i is the chancellor's pledge to revitalise the country's high streets by cutting rates for businesses. the mirror celebrates what it says are successes in two of its campaigns, including the chancellor's plan for britain's ailing high streets. and finally an increase in cancellations of children's operations is the independent‘s main story, which the paper says is due to government cuts. it have a look at least some of those over the next ten or 15

minutes. natalie, kick is up with the times. this is so philip green but more lord hain. absolutely. as $0011 but more lord hain. absolutely. as 50011 as a but more lord hain. absolutely. as soon as a man is accused of doing something despicable some other people get involved to say what a minute, what about the accuser, hang ona minute, what about the accuser, hang on a second. as if that were the thing that was most important. the the times is reporting on six. men who have decided to attack peter hainfor who have decided to attack peter hain for having used his parliamentary position, as they say he abused his elementary privilege. the most extraordinary quote comes from lord mcdonnell who sound like you come from game of thrones but is a p pa re ntly you come from game of thrones but is apparently real "problem it may be suffering but that is not a shameless assault in the rule of law, no effort from the bigoted attacks of populists also. i think we have to see that is a reference to tommy robb are sent. it seems absolutely extraordinary is... the court could have allowed guilty men to have gone three for having said julie assaulted children. it should be the same as disregarding a

nondisclosure agreement and find it melodramatic. it doesn't really composed of covering it. i hope that level of hysteria is not proliferating the lords or who knows where it will end up. ready to stand on this, rob? for the public be interesting aspect to the story is still that philip green kupp behaviour and what he allegedly has been allowed to get what with all these years and what happens to him i'iow these years and what happens to him now rather than the rights and wrongs of peter hain's action. having said that peter hain is embarrassed by the fact that he works for the lawyers were also working for the telegraph, something he says he was completely unaware of. i think that is at a slightly embarrassing thing for him. they could obviously raise question about whether he was the right person to say what he did in the house of lords. to the public, most people may be outside this country will look at it in the amusement of our syste m look at it in the amusement of our system i suppose. the sued legal expertise and decide that this information should not be made public. that apparently is the

system. then lo and behold this possibly most legislative ridiculous chain in the house of lords. he apparently gets to decide that these things are about to make up with. of course it is a bizarre way of working. that is one of the curiosities about this. i don't know what i'd do if you think that you have a situation when a group of lawyers what assumes looks closely, what on earth this is all about. very closely to arrive at a conclusion they did. the system of parliamentary privilege allows in this case peter hain to do what he did. and there seems to be a clash between what the lawyers say him at the parliamentarians can say. yes. how do you resolve that? do we still have a ccess ? how do you resolve that? do we still have access? get rid of nondisclosure digg agreements. they're a terrible idea allow extremely powerful men, or most exclusively it seems used by extending powerful men because none of us can afford it, to buy their power of silence for inappropriate behaviour. we are in a position

where lawyers are defending rule of law quite rightly, but they are defending a particularly dubious bit of it. if we resolve the issue of nda spin they will be able to continue defending the rule of law without defending something that is unpleasant which is meant by violence for bad behaviour. get rid of them? when asked that prime ministers questions, theresa may clearly signal given some tension to act on nba's and say there are far too many gagging orders that we use in the wrong circumstances. —— nda. we we re in the wrong circumstances. —— nda. we were told this will be imminently. so many stores the space where the government is promising to do things and they are not done. consultations are announced and promises are made. lo and behold another consultation is announced a year later. as i didn't mean to mention brexit. but he does come back to it. there is the logjam there. companies consumed by these processes of leaving the eu, lots of other things get left behind. even one promises are made, we will see

if gagging orders are different. what has been stressed by those close to that particular issue in recent days is how it should be used cautiously. sparingly. but still clearly be there as an option. given that ndas are not going tomorrow.- somebody who is already being investigated for the extreme dubiousness of the bhs deal, let's say tactfully, i'm astonished to find out that any court thought he had a reputation to protect truthfully. but given those parameters, i do not think it is like we're sitting here trying to discuss the most blameless person in the country and how their reputation is being dragged to the mud. as far as it appears to be, he's having a perfectly delightful holiday somewhere in north america. he seems fine. i wouldn't worry too much. the gagging orders are used sparingly. half a dozen cases i think in the la st two half a dozen cases i think in the last two decades. it is quite rare. we should stress that so philip green has categorically denied all

the allegations specifically referred to in the last few days. let's go to the telegraph which is where all this began. to an extent. this is suddenly focusing perhaps unexpectedly, on another figure. this is suddenly focusing perhaps unexpectedly, on another figurem course. it is the second story where philip green is not the top of the story. from hain we have now moved oi'i story. from hain we have now moved on to lady brady. business of a woman and business adviser. i didn't know she was the chairwoman of the holding company of philip green's retailempire. so holding company of philip green's retail empire. so the telegraph reports she has been drawn in on the basis that according to their sources, she appears to have been aware of these gagging orders. obviously they're not saying she played a part in them. they're reaching for putting her on the front of the patent is that she was an outspoken defender of women's rights in the workplace, so why didn't he speak out. i suppose that

is what they are saying. she has not commented on the situation. i think for most people, the story remains green and his alleged behaviour. it seems strange to in the source of quickly on lady brady. does that puzzle you? you get the sense that a lot of newspapers are tying to find somewhere else to go with this. yes. it is interesting. it is almost as if they don't want to focus for too long on terrible behaviour by a horrible man. i cannot imagine why that might be there. i suppose the former being generous one would say that lady brady is a household name and face and therefore they want to put somebody on the front page who they think will resonate with their readers and ideally, i guess, for readers and ideally, i guess, for readers they don't already have.” wa nted readers they don't already have.” wanted you to have the chance to mention the editorial. it is the nicest thing i could think of to say. i think the editorial is absolutely extraordinary. and it is absolutely extraordinary. and it is a tiny excerpt. right-hand side is just next to her. there it is. smallness of space does not change the fact that i did not think in this lifetime i would read the

telegraph, the telegraph ladies and gentlemen, and this is a quote and i thought it must be from somebody else because it seems so extraordinary, but" the need to movement has been like a breath of fresh air exposing the harassment that has gone on for too long and too many workplaces. there's been a cultural shift with bullying. unacceptable on its own terms. " there you go, ray! you're right, the telegraph, i didn't think i would agree with you but we just have. but i hope it continues. does that slight shift in focus goes to the whole of the paper and stays there forever. take us to the daily mail before we move on. here we are again with another. still philip green. this time in his own philip green. this time in his own philip green. this i think is the first woman who was identified herself as an alleged victim of green's bullying since this affair broke. a former
