hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take as through the and kevin schofield, releases this week we have mark. the editor of politicshome. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. what do we have this week? a mixed the front page story on the telegraph is a pledge bag. the good liar. in the conservative manifesto — to protect veterans from being prosecuted over killings during the troubles. the mail also reports on that story. and the mirror leads with a labour manifesto pledge to offer every we have the irishman, martin scorsese, a netflix film that is playing in cinemas. school pupil access and luce, a very intriguing psychological thriller. to mental health support. so, are we starting with the good liar? the times features comments we're starting with the good liar. from conservative sajid javid, so, helen mirren and ian mckellen. who claims that spending promises they are silver surfers by labour would amount to more than one trillion pounds, who meet online. and would plunge the country into economic crisis. they are filling up the online dating forms and they are both for being about themselves, so the good the metro focuses on confrontation in eccles today, after a man allegedly let off liar sets itself up at the very fireworks during a moment of silence beginning, we learn very early on at a remembrance service. that he is a conman, he meets helen the guardian's front page says that almost half of rape victims who go to police do not pursue a prosecution — adding mirren, a grandson doesn't trust in that the legal system mcallen and frankly neither would i. ‘is in crisis‘. chuckles. the size of your estate, there'd be a windfall every week!
11:31 pm
let's start with the times. parties so, what would you...? mmm? steven? clash over corbyn claim, sorry, claim that corbyn will spend a trillion pounds over a five year i thought you were in spandau. parliament to huh, did you? well, they let me out early. oh, steven! why didn't you let me know you were back? £650 million a day. the conservatives say they have tottered up conservatives say they have tottered up pledges made on the 2017 ma nifesto up pledges made on the 2017 manifesto and pledges made sense and those rolled out at the annual conference. it is an interesting tap. the chancellor said it was —— shadow chancellor said it was ludicrous fake news. the conservatives want to keep the conversation about this, it is like that row about the bus during the brexit campaign and whether or not the £350 million figure was true but people started talking about how much money britain was sending to
11:32 pm
brussels and i think the conservatives are keen to keep this conversation on how much labour would spend. someone on twitter has asked us to make it clearjust how big £1 trillion is. so this is how many zeros. our floor manager gave me this handy piece of paper. 12 zeros. that is what it looks like. i hope that helps. it is a big number. but the fact is we don't know what all the pledges are of any of the parties yet, do we? they are still coming together. and i think this is begun to unravel a bit because the government minister was on tv, the opposition and he was going on about this study that the tories had done
11:33 pm
and then he was asked, well, how much whether conservative is going to spend and he said he did not want to spend and he said he did not want to bandy around figures. but that is what they are doing with this. on the one hand, the conservatives are putting out figures which come to a nice round massive number to make labour look as bad as possible but they keep their own figures under wraps but they also admit they will spend more as well. some said last week that they might spend more money and labour will spend all of the money and that is basically what the money and that is basically what the tory position is. they will spend more but not as much as those guys because they will ruin the economy. ijust wonder whether people can seethe through that. our reality check colleagues have done a lot of these calculations and say they are based on guesswork. based on figures from cbi of how much
11:34 pm
renationalisation might cost and that sort of thing. these numbers can get traction. in one way they can get traction. in one way they can but i also feel that as the viewer who are stewed to show how much a trillion is, it is difficult to really understand how much that is for a country to spend. and how would we raise that money. what would we raise that money. what would it mean for borrowing and taxes? in the narrative under the cameron government of needing austerity to fix the roof of the sun is shining, as you said, kevin, the conservatives now say we need much more investment in public service. so in more investment in public service. soina more investment in public service. so in a sense they are criticising labourfor something so in a sense they are criticising labour for something that they also advocate stop the chancellor told cabinet said they had done as study on policies that they would publish later that day. and at o'clock the cabinet secretary said this is
11:35 pm
electioneering and we will not use treasury figures. so that have been blocked there and now they have gone away and got a creative calculator and come up with this huge number. there are not that many fact packets about this. the daily telegraph. tories went unfair trials of the vetera ns tories went unfair trials of the veterans of the troubles. this will be achieved by amending the human rights act. in this is controversial. obviously there has beena controversial. obviously there has been a lot of arguments and controversy over historic investigations into —— over allegations into his —— investigations into historic allegations. the prime minister pledged to sorted out and now boris johnson, the tory manifesto will
11:36 pm
promise to amend the human rights act brought in by labour 20 years ago to say that any allegations that happen before the act came in, there will be a presumption against investigating them. so that, the conservatives say should end the so—called witch— hunt against conservatives say should end the so—called witch—hunt against army personnel and historic allegations. but i can see labour properly kicking off on that. you do need to tread delicately because there are those who believe justice has not yet been served. it is a tricky issue and we have seen successive defence secretaries wanting to try and solve the issue of protecting vetera ns and solve the issue of protecting veterans and having to balance that with the families of victims of the troubles. and the deaths related to that that may have involved the
11:37 pm
armed forces. they wantjustice and truth. what is also interesting here is that whichever side of the debate you fall on on this incredibly tricky issue. the tories pledge here does not do what they claim it does. soldiers are not tried under the human rights act. amending that act and putting the uk on a collision course with the —— course with european court of human rights could pave the way to other measures that protect soldiers but not those currently tied up in criminal prosecution and potentially not all of those who could get be netted into a wider investigation. i think in the coming few days i think we will see and certainly in the times you will see some of the claims here on pict. it is not as clear—cut as they present. you can'tjust change they present. you can'tjust change the act and make the problem go away. —— claims unpicked. the act and make the problem go away. -- claims unpicked. the queen on the front page of the daily mail
11:38 pm
commemorating the war dead. this is unusual. you don't often see a public display of emotion from anyone in the royal family, not least the queen herself who has obviously been to dozens and dozens of remembrance sunday events at the cenotaph. i don't know what it was about this particular event that has caused her to shed a tear but i think it is quite poignant. the queen is now in her 90s and, yeah, i think the emotion of the occasion has got to her. and the turnout is still incredible. people do want to pay their respect and the emphasis this year was on getting us all to put down our mobile phones and our devices and just take a moment. and
11:39 pm
ina way devices and just take a moment. and in a way the world seems so frenetic and fast paced, particularly with a mobile phone always in your hand up dating you on the latest news. it actually can be even more special and poignant to take a few moments of silence to think about the sacrifice of those who defended the nation in the past. the guardian. labour to thresher migration policy. we know a little bit about boris johnson's and king. he has moved away from the troublesome target of ringing inward migration annually down to 100,000. that was a target that david cameron and then theresa may repeatedly pledged to meet and repeatedly failed. many people said that that undermined trust in politics as well as leading to the 2016 eu referendum. so borisjohnson wa nts to 2016 eu referendum. so borisjohnson wants to move towards a points —based system for immigration and labour has to grapple now with a radical pro migration policy passed
11:40 pm
at its annual conference earlier this autumn. and what many insiders feel would be a more send mainstream policy of being a little more restrict than that. the conservatives think it could damage labour in target seats in the midlands and the north if labour is very pro migration michael gove has been on the news today saying that labour, if you vote forjeremy corbyn you vote for unrestricted and uncontrolled migration. some people are recognising off we do not have people coming in from the eu when choosing not to come now, short of nurses, for example and seasonal workers. in the policy passed at the co nfe re nce workers. in the policy passed at the conference essentially would introduce freedom of movement not just for the eu but for the entire world, which is obviously a radical policy. but there are a few radical policies passed at the conference, abolishing private schools, hitting
11:41 pm
nets zero carbon emissions. the party hierarchy have watered down so i would imagine that they would probably do the same in the manifesto, they will water down that migration, that open borders policy that them members want. but they will still be far more pro migration. the telegraph. alexa may $0011 migration. the telegraph. alexa may soon have eyes as well as ears. one of our esteemed colleagues got in touch and when we spoke about this last hour the device next to his television spring to life because we mentioned the name alexa. even through the tv. that is scary. now i can through the tv. that is scary. now i ca n follow through the tv. that is scary. now i can follow you around and watch you? yeah. the head scientist at amazon will develop in the future so it won'tjust react to instructions, it
11:42 pm
will interact with human beings. you could have a conversation and it may even walk and have eyes. it makes your skin crawl a little bit to get will follow you around and chat.|j will follow you around and chat.|j will not have one of my house. the idea that they can already listen to what you say and record it, the idea of it having a camera and being able to ta ke of it having a camera and being able to take imagery from around your home, ifind that to take imagery from around your home, i find that creepy. and security issues. you wouldn't be able to wander around in a towel after the shower quite so easily. or even wearing less. the times. shy society. half of us are shrinking violets. that british reserve is as much a part of the national stereotype as tea drinking and complaining about the weather as the paper points out. they look to a new survey of three and a half thousand
11:43 pm
british people online of whom 47% describe themselves as shy and 10% describe themselves as shy and 10% describe themselves as very shy. i was think it is interesting. people often think of themselves as shy evenif often think of themselves as shy even if they do not present is that to others. on the assumption that nobody else suffers from social anxiety, that it is just you. nobody else suffers from social anxiety, that it isjust youlj would anxiety, that it isjust you.” would describe myself as not shy. but it is interesting that young people are more likely to be shy, perhaps due to the fact they spend so perhaps due to the fact they spend so much time staring at screens and tablet. when they try to speak to a human being they take freight.” don't think i have that problem, the children in my life never stop talking. the apple does not fall far from the tree. that is it for us tonight stop don't forget you can see the front pages on the bbc news
