have about over the weekend and we are now in a stage where both liz truss and rishi sunak are coming out with new policies, starting with some of the key major areas this weekend. we had more detail about the immigration policy and also we heard from rishi sunak about national security, talking about china. despite all the calls from mps for there to be less blue on blue infighting and attacks, what we have seen over the weekend is both camps criticising each other and really tying to tear apart each other�*s policies, whether that is on china or immigration and all the taxation and economic policies we have already heard a bit about. emma, what do you make of it, these attacks on both sides? it is attacks on both sides? it is incredibly _ attacks on both sides? it is incredibly damaging. - attacks on both sides? it is incredibly damaging. we have got this big _ incredibly damaging. we have got this big tv debate coming tomorrow night, _ this big tv debate coming tomorrow night, which is going to be very

10:36 pm
said, you must bejoking, how can rishi sunak claim he is tough and china went only last year he gave his mansion house speech talking about how he wanted closer economic ties with china. so we have an example of rishi sunak coming out with a policy position and liz truss�*s camp just hitting back and trying to undermine that and say, he has completely changed his tune from what he was talking aboutjust a year ago. it what he was talking about 'ust a ear auo. , . what he was talking about 'ust a earam, , ., ., ., what he was talking about 'ust a earauo. ,. . ., year ago. it is an amazing race so far, year ago. it is an amazing race so far. because _ year ago. it is an amazing race so far, because of _ year ago. it is an amazing race so far, because of the _ year ago. it is an amazing race so far, because of the reasons - year ago. it is an amazing race so far, because of the reasons you l year ago. it is an amazing race so i far, because of the reasons you have just been talking about. the claim and counterclaim from the other side. that is rishi sunak�*s treatment from the daily mail. going to the daily express now and the headline focusing on liz truss. tax breaks will boost britain. emma, can you take it away with this one? this is liz truss. — you take it away with this one? this is liz truss, once _

10:38 pm
on. i want to take you both to the front page of the guardian now. a couple of different stories we will focus on. going to start on the bottom right hand side and the headline, tory plans for asylum, cruel and immoral.— headline, tory plans for asylum, cruel and immoral. camilla? this is the guardian's _ cruel and immoral. camilla? this is the guardian's take _ cruel and immoral. camilla? this is the guardian's take on _ cruel and immoral. camilla? this is the guardian's take on the - the guardian�*s take on the immigration policies we have heard about over the weekend from both liz truss and rishi sunak. both of them have said they want to uphold the rwanda policy and liz truss that she wants to go further and strike more policies like this with other countries, more deals that will see as effectively send illegal immigrants to third party countries and do even more of this, strike up more deals. meanwhile, rishi sunak was talking about having offshore cruise ships and how illegal immigrants there. what the guardian
10:39 pm
have led on is the criticism of both of these policies led by amnesty international who are saying these policies are cruel, they will come with huge human and financial cost and just saying that both of these leadership contestants are trying to appeal to the right wing of the party, essentially and to the party members, who are, a lot of them are concerned about illegal immigration i want to see it clamp down on so they are both trying to show they are the candidate who is tough on illegal immigration and be able to get a grip on this problem, more so than the other one. we get a grip on this problem, more so than the other one.— than the other one. we will go to the story on _ than the other one. we will go to the story on the _ than the other one. we will go to the story on the nhs _ than the other one. we will go to the story on the nhs on - than the other one. we will go to the story on the nhs on the - than the other one. we will go to j the story on the nhs on the front part of the guardian in a moment. i know i said we were going to leave the leadership race, but i want your thoughts and your take of the coverage over the weekend of these plans for asylum and migration into the uk from both the candidates. i
10:40 pm
think are lying to you was a bit hit and miss, we are in and miss at the moment. camilla, the front page of the guardian as i mentioned, and this is a striking story and it is covered in a couple of the papers. the headline, greatest staffing crisis in nhs history leaves patients at risk. neither is the headline you want to read, talk us through it. headline you want to read, talk us throu~h it. , , ., headline you want to read, talk us throu~h it. , ,., _ through it. this is a report by the health select _ through it. this is a report by the health select committee - through it. this is a report by the health select committee which l through it. this is a report by the| health select committee which is chaired byjeremy hunt, former health secretary, so someone knows what he is talking about. and also, a recent leadership contestants. he was knocked out at quite an early stage. this is a report about focusing on the nhs staffing problems. it is saying there will be
10:41 pm
major problems for our health service because we have so many vacancies that are unfilled, thousands of hospital doctors, thousands of hospital doctors, thousands of hospital doctors, thousands of nurses and midwife jobs and for the uk�*s inability to fill these jobs and for the uk�*s inability to fill thesejobs means and for the uk�*s inability to fill these jobs means the and for the uk�*s inability to fill thesejobs means the nhs, they put it as it is facing its worst workforce crisis in history. it is a damning report because it says the government effectively has no strategy to solve this problem. we have a massive staffing problem and their way to really tackle it. so this i suppose isjeremy hunt and his select committee trying to draw attention to this problem in the nhs. in the leadership contest so far, sorry to bring us back to it again, we haven�*t had a huge amount of policy so far aimed at the nhs, how to tackle the massive backlog, how to tackle the massive backlog, how to tackle waiting lists, how to deal with the funding. also lots of issues which are really important,
10:42 pm
that we haven�*t yet had a huge amount of meaty policy coming from either candidate about this. interesting to see when they do decide to give more detail on their plans. both candidates seem pretty coordinated at the moment in talking about first tax and then immigration. we will see if that comes. and to show everybody the front page of the metro, same story and details, the nhs is on its knees, is the headline. the worst workforce crisis in its history. patient safety is being put at risk and no strategy to solve the chaos. which is probably the most damning line of it all. we accept that during the pandemic there were backlogs and potential problems, but the report saying there doesn�*t seem to be a coherent strategy to solve the chaos, is what will be worrying many. 0k, the chaos, is what will be worrying many. ok, let�*s go to the front page of the daily star. and the heat wave
10:43 pm
after wave. can you explain this headline and what this story is? yes, so this is totally away from politics and talking about the heatwave and saying, even though we have just had these record a0 degrees days, we are facing for more heat waves this summer. so this is something that affects everyone in the country, whether they are planning holidays orjust trying to go to work on days when it is absolutely boiling hot. let�*s face it, the uk isn�*t exactly equipped to have these massively high temperatures. a lot of buildings don�*t have air conditioning and people are sweltering at their desks. i would say myself included! so this is a warning that there is a lot more of this to come so far this summer. it lot more of this to come so far this summer. , ., , lot more of this to come so far this summer. , . , , .,, lot more of this to come so far this summer. ,. , , , , summer. it is a big problem because so much infrastructure _ summer. it is a big problem because so much infrastructure is _ summer. it is a big problem because so much infrastructure is not - summer. it is a big problem because so much infrastructure is not built i so much infrastructure is not built for these kind of temperatures in
10:44 pm
the uk. they made fairly sensible decisions in past decades to build infrastructure in certain parameters and work within certain temperatures, which is perfectly reasonable. but the obvious one is the train lines, if the tracks get too hot, yes they can run in other countries which they are built to different degrees, but in the uk the trains have to go slow and trains have to be cancelled. that kind of infrastructure is almost as creaky as my voice today, but they are trying to say, you can handle at once a year, but if it is four times a year, things get more tricky and a lot more investment is needed. before i let you go, i want to come back to the opening story, this tv debate between the two leadership contenders. liz truss, rishi sunak, do you think, what are you expecting from the debate tomorrow evening? do you think either side will have
10:45 pm
learnt that given the previous debates, may we did attack each other too much, will there be any kind of agreement that we will try to avoid those tactics, or do you think that when it comes to the leadership, the gloves are off, all bets are off, what do you think? this is different to the previous televised debates. this isjust liz truss and rishi sunak going head to head purely arguing against each other. in previous rounds it has been multiple candidates and a bit more of a forum of discussion featuring four or five different people. so the format will be different this time. i suspect they will probably try to keep things cordial. 0f will probably try to keep things cordial. of course, they will be debating each other�*s policies and it will be an academic argument in that sense, but i don�*t thing will get personal or vicious, it seems both campaigns are leaving the more personal attacks up to anonymous
10:46 pm
supporters or anonymous allies to make those comments in the newspapers. i think when they are face—to—face, live on tv, they will be aware it will not
