which adds that former party leader ian duncan smith thinks it's "suprising" that sunak is claiming to be tough on beijing. staying with the leadership race, the express reports on plans by lizz truss to "turbo—charge" economic growth by building "low tax new towns". and finally, the financial times reports that the uk and france will have a seat on the board of a new satellite operator, which aims to take on billionaire space entrepreneurs elon musk and jeff bezos. welcome to the papers and welcome to you both. thank you for coming on and agreeing to talk us through the paperas and agreeing to talk us through the paper as you can hear by my voice, i'm losing my voice for the i'm pleased both of you are here to talk us through, lots going on, always better start with the politics with “p better start with the politics with up the daily telegraph. the headline day is gone for is to knock takes

11:34 pm
confucius institutes were set up in the first place. a third of the institutes around the uk were set up he says under her watch. on the one hand launching his national security policy or setting out his priorities but also using it to at the same time attacked liz truss. she heads back saying that actually, it's very rich coming from him to be talking about china would only last year as chancellor he used his house speech to talk about how he wanted to facilitate greater economic ties with china. and says this is a far cry from the line he was using this weekend. ~ ,,., , cry from the line he was using this weekend. ~ , , ., ,. ., weekend. absolutely fascinating. i'll stick weekend. absolutely fascinating. ru stick with — weekend. absolutely fascinating. i'll stick with you _ weekend. absolutely fascinating. i'll stick with you on _ weekend. absolutely fascinating. i'll stick with you on this - weekend. absolutely fascinating. i'll stick with you on this because| i'll stick with you on this because exactly what you are talking about plays into the front page of the daily mail. it's really interesting when different newspapers and these stories fit into each other. we have the daily telegraph saying rishi

sunak takes the daily telegraph saying rishi sunaktakes aim the daily telegraph saying rishi sunak takes aim at liz truss over china's influence in universities. tough on china, mr sunak?, pull the other one. ties into what you are saying there. expand on that. exactly. the same story that the daily mail are covering but they are to the elect paper is taking the stance of backing liz truss in this later ship campaign. i suppose trumpeting the liz truss campaign line of attack which is to essentially ridicule rishi sunakfor trying to talk tough on china put up and pointing to the speech he made last year where he actually wanted to create greater economic ties with china, he was talking about how speech of china's economy and it's important that the uk does business with them and has a nuanced view. the liz truss campaign are saying it seems a bit hypocritical to now be

11:37 pm
stages of the campaign and is likely to continue being a dominant theme and here we are now hearing about all of their policies as well. this story on the front page of daily express is a new strategy or a new vision by liz truss to create low tax towns which would be low regulation investment areas. this is aimed at stimulating growth and trying to give a bit of a kick—start to the economy and overcome some of their economic woes with that at the moment. this is a plan by liz truss to work with local authorities to set up low tax towns and really try to make them central hubs for businesses, innovation, new companies to thrive and try to inject a bit of new excitement back into our economy and try to overcome some of our growth issues.— some of our growth issues. camilla, what is fascinating _ some of our growth issues. camilla, what is fascinating here _ some of our growth issues. camilla, what is fascinating here is _ some of our growth issues. camilla,
11:38 pm
what is fascinating here is the - what is fascinating here is the mention of margaret thatcher within about three sentences on the front of that daily express. which she, liz truss will be absolutely delighted with, it is extraordinary how much attention margaret thatcher is getting in this race.— is getting in this race. exactly. we've seen — is getting in this race. exactly. we've seen both _ is getting in this race. exactly. we've seen both candidates i is getting in this race. exactly. i we've seen both candidates both is getting in this race. exactly. - we've seen both candidates both liz truss and rishi sunak as positioning themselves as a margaret thatcher continuity candidate. they're trying to talk up how thatcher like their policies are in their true successor to margaret thatcher. of course liz truss even before the leadership race kicked off had been accused of trying to dress like margaret thatcher, trying to pose for pictures in similar settings that margaret thatcher had been photographed in. really, for quite some time it's been said she's been trying to position herself as the new ir lady. i think it was quite recently that she denied the suggestion she was trying to talk
11:39 pm
like an dress like margaret thatcher saying she is her own person and is not trying to simply be the new margaret thatcher. we are hearing that can polish and being made a lot and i think it's both their attempts to court the right wing of the party and show they are the true thatcher like candidates. we and show they are the true thatcher like candidates.— and show they are the true thatcher like candidates. we will do one more sto on like candidates. we will do one more story on this — like candidates. we will do one more story on this leadership _ like candidates. we will do one more story on this leadership race. - like candidates. we will do one more story on this leadership race. the - story on this leadership race. the front page of the times and we will be done talking politics with rivals talk tough on migration, which we've heard about over the weekend. let's focus on the second half of this headline as final tv debates loom. what are you hoping for or expecting in these head—to—head debate? db what are you hoping for or expecting in these head-to-head debate? db bcd ba is the in these head-to-head debate? db bcd bay is the first — in these head-to-head debate? db bcd bay is the first time _ in these head-to-head debate? db bcd bay is the first time we've _ in these head-to-head debate? db bcd bay is the first time we've had - in these head-to-head debate? db bcd bay is the first time we've had one - bay is the first time we've had one of these televised leadership debates that's actually liz truss and rishi sunak 101
11:40 pm
debates that's actually liz truss and rishi sunak101 though he against each other. we had a few of these to dates but with multiple candidates. the format is more of a discussion forum, i would say. where is with this one is going to be just liz truss and rishi sunak going against each other. i think where you are likely to see each of them tried to pick apart each others policy, show the inconsistencies, show the detail that hasn't been looked at. i think we is in epidemic debate about each one trying to present their own policies but also not on the other persons policies. i think it's quite unlikely we will see personal attacks because neither candidate wants to come across as nasty or better in any way. i think we had quite enough of those personal attacks made between the camps by anonymous sources in the newspapers. i think what they are actually debating face—to—face on television is likely to be quite simple but at the same time he did

11:43 pm
report talking about the staff shortages in the nhs. thousands of vacancies for hospital doctors, nurses and midwives. and really the most damning part of this report is that it says there is no credible strategy from the government to sort out the staffing crisis, meaning that further down the line if nothing is done to replace or recruit these doctors and nurses and midwives then we are looking at a really difficult situation. the report also talks about patient safety regularly being at rest. this just shows, i know are trying to move away from the leadership race but it does show that the next prime minister is going to have a lot to deal with, minister is going to have a lot to dealwith, it's minister is going to have a lot to deal with, it's notjust taxing the economy that we've heard so much about. it's quite urgency leading to look at the nhs, how to clear the backlog waiting lists and how to embark on what clearly is a massive

long term consequences. it's not like people can just spring long term consequences. it's not like people canjust spring back long term consequences. it's not like people can just spring back to the patterns and behaviours they had before. clearly some and women in particular by the sounds of this research are finding it difficult to get back into those exercising patterns. in that slightly longer term it's going to have an impact on the physical health as potentially mental health.— the physical health as potentially mental health. absolutely right. a tood mental health. absolutely right. a good reminder— mental health. absolutely right. a good reminder that _ mental health. absolutely right. a good reminder that there - mental health. absolutely right. a good reminder that there are - mental health. absolutely right. a good reminder that there are a i mental health. absolutely right. a good reminder that there are a lotj good reminder that there are a lot of long—term issues going on, not just politics and leadership races but whoever does when it will have to get to grips with lots and lots of issues with up camilla, you've been an absolute start talking us through all the papers almost single—handedly. thank you very much for your efforts. that's it from camilla and from ella and from me. bye—bye.
