11:31 pm
of the existing licence conditions the week ahead, a cold start, of convicted terrorism offenders. it is not believed to be connected it will be turning milder from the to the london bridge attack. north but ahead of that, there is malta's prime ministerjoseph muscat still the week —— risk of frost and fog before it turns what says he will resign, following mass protests over milder, wet 00:01:10,532 --> 613566586:11:30,375 and 613566586:11:30,375 --> 1227133172:21:50,218 windy 1227133172:21:50,218 --> 1840699758:32:10,061 offer 1840699758:32:10,061 --> 2454266344:42:29,902 later 2454266344:42:29,902 --> 3067832930:52:49,746 in 3067832930:52:49,746 --> 3681399517:03:09,590 the 3681399517:03:09,590 --> 4294966103:13:29,434 week. the murder of an anti—corruption journalist. hello, and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing tomorrow. with me i have the deputy political editor of the independent, robert merrick, and catherine forster from the sunday times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the victims of the london bridge attack dominate the front of the metro. it says the pairjust wanted to make the world
11:32 pm
a better place. the mirror say the victims were failed by what it calls a cash—strapped justice system. the guardian says that borisjohnson is being accused of exploiting the attack by turning it into an election issue. meanwhile the telegraph says that a close associate of the attacker, usman khan, has become the first convicted terrorist to be recalled to prison. the mail says the man was detained after the pm announced a review in the licence conditions of 7a people who have been released from prison. security agencies have been scrambled to stamp out the threat of copycat attacks, according to the times. the express describes the arrest of a man for terror offences as the beginning of "borisjohnson‘s blitz" on those convicted of terror offences. and that's the new eu commisioner, ursula von der leyen, on the top of the ft. the paper says that spending priorities will be top of
11:33 pm
her agenda. 0k, ok, let's begin with the sun newspaper. two days after the attack and we now have the full details of the two people who were killed, and of course it is particularly heartbreaking, this picture we see, because of course they were so young and because they seemed to be so idealistic, because they were doing such great works, because they selflessly tried to dedicate their lives to others, somebody put it. and they were so similar. she had applied to the police to work in victim support. he worked in inmates ina victim support. he worked in inmates in a prison. they had done the same masters degree in criminology. they both wanted to help make the world a better place. catherine? yes, it is absolutely heartbreaking. the headline of the sun is "the angel stolen by pure evil". the metro's
11:34 pm
is "killed for caring". and that's it. these two individuals had chosen to help people who had been in prison, that most of us would turn our backs on, and want to have nothing to do with. they had actively sought to help these people, and this was thrown back in their face and they we re thrown back in their face and they were murdered, brutally murdered. let's turn to the telegraph. this time dealing with "terrorist freed only —— early to be sent back to jail". part of this review being carried out. yes, the other way this story is moving tonight is that, as the telegraph and other papers are reporting, this batch of terrorists who were released in the same way as usman khan have been taken back to jail. this fellow was an associate of khan but was not connected, this rea rrest has not of khan but was not connected, this rearrest has not been connected to the london bridge attack. the telegraph has clearly been tipped off to expect that others among the
11:35 pm
74 will off to expect that others among the 7a will also be rearrested. 00:05:02,1000 --> 00:05:03,977 off our comedy question was asked on what grounds? and maybe the grounds are really that it is a general election next week and we know the government is desperate to say that it is doing everything possible to prevent a repeat and to be tough. we saw helpful headlines. "boris splits begins", that sort of thing. we wait to see what grounds there are to be going back to be 7a cases. there is obviously great concern that khan was released in the way he was, and really, that concern is extended to some of those cases. it must be concerning that now they have actually stopped and paused and gone back and reviewed, checking to see what these former prisoners are actually up to, but they have grounds to arrest somebody? yes. yes. and you wonder what the grounds are, because... is this in some ways are, because... is this in some ways a knee—jerk reaction, because suddenly this has happened? but of
11:36 pm
course there are lots of other people coming to the end of their sentences as well. and there are some very, very poignant personal details on this telegraph piece. they say that jack had actually worked with khan while he was a prisoner in the high security hmp whitemore. and usman khan had been hailed as a great success story of learning together, and actually, when he was released, staff had done a ten kilometre run to raise money to buy him a computer, because he was hailed as a shining example of what could be achieved. it isjust horrific that this is how he has repaid them. it is going to be interesting, because this ties in nicely with your paper. "austerity to blame". even if, as the prime minister is saying, the prisoners will be kept in prison, they will serve their full—time, will be kept in prison, they will serve theirfull—time, is will be kept in prison, they will serve their full—time, is there any room for them to
11:37 pm
stay in prison? well, certainly if there was a wider move to make prisoners serve longer sentences, then clearly that is going to be causing a problem for prison capacity. business are already bulging. we know that. —— prisons are already. when you get into person, if there are too many prisoners, it is impossible for staff to work with those prisons to try to rehabilitate them. this is a crucial aspect of this story. i was struck today by how several experts are disagreeing with the prime minister when he tries to point to sentencing policy. they are saying the heart of the issue is what we have on our front page, but the destruction of the prison and probation services, that is according to a man called ian atchison, who carried out a review of extremists in prison for the government. he is a real expert. he blames crazy austerity caps for the situation, were prisoners who are supposed to be getting deradicalised are simply not being worked with. there is no money for these
11:38 pm
programmes and no proper training, he said. it is important to say, mr atchison is not blaming that for the specifics of the london bridge case. we were just hearing how increasingly, the evidence seems to be that khan was seen as a model prisoner, you know, somebody they could point to where rehabilitation was working. of course, that was tragically wrong. it is important to say, i think, tragically wrong. it is important to say, ithink, that tragically wrong. it is important to say, i think, that this criticism is not so much about the specifics of the case to the wider problem of released terrorists, because the working prisoners, the probation, is simply not being done. catherine? it isa very simply not being done. catherine? it is a very complicated picture, isn't it? but clearly the prison service has been under massive strain for a long period of time, part of which must be money. but it sounds from what aitchison was saying, it was just a total lack of understanding of dealing with terrorists, but government ministers were completely naive, they totally did not have the means to deal with this
11:39 pm
threat. naive, they totally did not have the means to deal with this threatm is going to be interesting to see, because obviously this aspect has not really been included in any of the manifestoes we have seen so far. but as long as it stays at the top of the agenda, the top of the news agenda, how are they going to afford to fix it? it is going to cost billions, isn't it? well, boris johnson has long been saying, we are going to be tougher on crime. we are going to be tougher on crime. we are going to be much, much harsher on jail sentences, at going to be much, much harsher on jail sentences, et cetera. so this is sort of feeding into that. but of course labour will say, this is on you. you have been in charge for ten years. obviously not borisjohnson, he was at great pains to say today he was at great pains to say today he has only been promised a 120 days. well, that's true, but of course the conservative party has had ten years in power. —— prime minister for 120 days. they will be blamed getting thrown around on and on. it is so easy to grab the headline, i will be tough on crime, i will never release these terrorists, do the real hard grind of probation works, which
11:40 pm
goes on, which we don't normally notice or talk about. it could backfire, to make those promises. talk about. it could backfire, to make those promiseslj talk about. it could backfire, to make those promises. i felt the prime minister risked it backfiring this morning on the way that he very much politicised the debate. he blamed what happened on friday on a left—wing government and said that only by electing a majority conservative government could the country be kept safe. he did exactly what the father of jack merritt asked him not to do, to make political capital out of the strategy. let's go back to the telegraph. a full—time gps, or maybe not? if you think it is hard to get agp not? if you think it is hard to get a gp appointment, i dread to think how it might be in a few years. so apparently, they are saying now gps working full—time is going to be increasingly a thing of the past. only one in 20 people are training to be gps currently and planning to work full—time within ten years of nullifying. so the majority of them are planning, within ten years, to
11:41 pm
be doing between one and a half and three days a week. this will obviously be extremely difficult because the government has already said we are going to get lots and lots more doctors, but if we are training all these doctors and then an awful lot of them are only going to work for part of the week, i am not clear at all how we are going to cater to this ever expanding needham health service. did they say why? it is not doable, they say, apparently, working five days a week. up to 70 patient appointments five days a week. i suppose what he means is, people don't want to look at the prospect of working with us number of patients, but hard, but long. they think they will suffer burnout. i suppose that is why they say it is undoable. lots of people say they wa nt to undoable. lots of people say they want to work part—time, it is an aspiration everybody has... work and life balance. and also, gps are paid ata life balance. and also, gps are paid at a level in which you may be able to afford not to work full—time. and then of course there is the pension,
11:42 pm
then of course there is the pension, the problem with the pension, the point at which it becomes not worth their while which will obviously have to be fixed. of course there is a shortage of gps already. city am. marconi's new gig. where is he going? he is going to be a climate change envoy for the new and. —— mark carney‘s new gig. —— envoy for the united nations. everybody who has seen his briefings will be that his constant refrain as the climate change crisis is not being taken seriously by world leaders, it is crucial in the decisions of the bank had —— bank of england and so on. his wife is an environmental campaigner as well. it seems a new perfect fit for him. the question is whether he will get to do it on the timetable he wants, because he has been trying to leave his job as the governor of the bank of england for a long time, and has had to stay on because of the brexit crisis, which we know is far from over. because of the brexit crisis, which we know is farfrom over. he because of the brexit crisis, which we know is far from over. he was supposed to be taking up this new job in january
11:43 pm
supposed to be taking up this new job injanuary 31, which i think is a date that rings a bell, because it is the date we are supposed to be leaving the european union. there is supposed to be a new bank of england governor in place by then. no new appointment yet, and it probably will not be by christmas. when he gets away on schedule, time will tell. let's go to the front page of the times newspaper. catherine, could you introduce this story for us? long story short. yes, apparently, we're purchasing fewer books, but we are also looking at ereaders less, but what we are doing much more is listening to audiobooks. there is an enormous rise, and they are predicting that revenue will go up between 2018 and the end of next year by 30%, generating revenues of 115 million in the uk. it is a large chunk of money and it is obviously linked to the fact that people can listen more easily, wireless headphones and so on and so forth. and so ereaders, on the other hand, are dropping. 31% of
11:44 pm
people had them in 2015, now only 26%. i have to say, i have never had one. have you? no, i suppose i am a traditionalist, the printed page. talking books? no, i can't quite see myself doing the cider. when i have myself doing the cider. when i have my headphones and i am listening to music. and pod casts, there are so many pod casts to listen to.|j music. and pod casts, there are so many pod casts to listen to. i don't think i would take it in the same way, listening to it, as can —— as compared to actually reading. way, listening to it, as can —— as compared to actually readinglj think you have to be doing something while you are listening. i have a four hour drive and i listen to a lot of stories. my children have used talking books from day dot. the problem is, that are not enough. so they can say this, but you can't find them. there is a little space on the bookshelf. anyway, would you be attracted to try it out?” on the bookshelf. anyway, would you be attracted to try it out? i think i will probably stick to my music, put my headphones on. i will probably stick to my music, put my headphones onlj i will probably stick to my music, put my headphones on. i have gotten portable subscription but my husband is actually the one who uses it. ——
