tv   The Papers  BBC News  October 4, 2022 11:30pm-12:00am BST

11:30 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines... ukranian forces are continuing to advance into territory which was annexed by russia just a few days ago. in the eastern town of lymaan, the bbc has seen evidence that russian troops were forced to retreat at speed. the united states, japan, and south korea have all conducted military drills in response to north korea's first test—launch of a ballistic missile over japan in five years. there's been international condemnation of the missile. hundreds of thousands of people in somalia are facing extreme hunger, after the worst drought in a0 years. the situation has been made worse by war and climate change. twitter has confirmed that the world's richest man,
11:31 pm
elon musk, is going through with his bid to buy the company. shares were suspended as the news began to leak out. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, david davies, and the broadcaster and writer, jemma forte. welcome to you both. let's dive straight into the headlines. the i, which leads with the headline "tory open warfare" and concludes the prime minister is in peril. the independent using the same photo, but with a wider shot, above its headline — the pm is fighting to keep the cabinet in line as splits deepen. the metro also picks the same picture of the prime minister
11:32 pm
on a building site, but this time, opting with the lines made famous by the children's cartoon character bob the builder, asking, "can she fix it?" tory infighting also dominates the financial times, along with the story that elon musk agrees to pay $41; billion for twitter. the daily telegraph leads with an image of the home secretary, next to the headline, "tory turmoil amid claims of a coup." the daily mail headline highlights a pledge to ensure police attend every burglary in england and wales. and the sun claims an exlusive — apparently about a bbc star. the mirror says the wagatha christie feud re—ignites. so it hit straight to it, and i'll start with you this hour, let's
11:33 pm
start with you this hour, let's start with you this hour, let's start with the daily telegraph, because let's be honest, this is a painful set of headlines for liz truss and her supporters, isn't it? slightly more supportive tone in the daily telegraph, as you perhaps might expect — looking ahead to liz truss�*s speech to the conservative party conference tomorrow in which we understand the prime minister will insist disruption is the price of success. what do you make of that message? of success. what do you make of that messa . e? ~ ., of success. what do you make of that messaue? ~ . , ., , ,, message? well, i mean, instantly you 'ust think message? well, i mean, instantly you just thinkthat— message? well, i mean, instantly you just think that she's _ message? well, i mean, instantly you just think that she's deluded. - just think that she's deluded. because what success? this is the thing, she can talk about growth, growth, growth — it's utterly meaningless right now. firstly, there are hundreds of economists worth their salt who don't believe in trickle—down economics anyway, so her entire plan is at fault. secondly, she unleashed it, or foisted upon us, whatever way you look at it, but it was unchecked and
11:34 pm
utterly reckless, the obr hadn't looked at it. in the markets have given their opinion, you know, the pound has settled fine democrat now, the mind boggles what could've been done with that money. all our mortgages going up. disruption is the price of success? what success? tell it like it is, that's what i say. david, picking up on something else in the telegraph, it says tory leaders are planning to enforce a brutal party discipline when mps return to parliament next week to shore up liz truss's position. that's interesting, isn't it? find that's interesting, isn't it? and one wonders — that's interesting, isn't it? and one wonders what _ that's interesting, isn't it? and one wonders what it actually means. i'm not_ one wonders what it actually means. i'm not sure if grant shapps and michael gove, and the other rebels of which _ michael gove, and the other rebels of which there are a significant
11:35 pm
number, — of which there are a significant number, will be shaking in their beds _ number, will be shaking in their beds tonight worrying about this brutal_ beds tonight worrying about this brutal clampdown. but one has to also point — brutal clampdown. but one has to also point out that recent brutal clampdown set within the conservative party, within parliament have not been hugely successful. the problem is, of course, — successful. the problem is, of course, that there are a large, significant _ course, that there are a large, significant number of people in the conservative party, in parliament who, _ conservative party, in parliament who, many— conservative party, in parliament who, many of them were sacked, liz truss's_ who, many of them were sacked, liz truss's new— who, many of them were sacked, liz truss's new administration, before it li2— truss's new administration, before it liz truss's — truss's new administration, before it liz truss's administration. there's_ it liz truss's administration. there's been absolutely zero effort that one _ there's been absolutely zero effort that one can see you to bring the party— that one can see you to bring the party together. in days gone by, when _ party together. in days gone by, when you — party together. in days gone by, when you had a bruising leadership battle, _ when you had a bruising leadership battle, somebody won and someone didh't_ battle, somebody won and someone didn't win _ battle, somebody won and someone didn't win. and then at the end, graciously, _ didn't win. and then at the end, graciously, however one brought both sides together. there's been absolutely no effort to do that — as
11:36 pm
there _ absolutely no effort to do that — as there wasn't, one has to say, and boris _ there wasn't, one has to say, and borisjohnson's time, there wasn't, one has to say, and boris johnson's time, truthfully. there wasn't, one has to say, and borisjohnson's time, truthfully. so you've _ borisjohnson's time, truthfully. so you've got — borisjohnson's time, truthfully. so you've got a — borisjohnson's time, truthfully. so you've got a lot of disillusioned people. — you've got a lot of disillusioned people, plus the conservative mps, the majority of them did not vote for lil— the majority of them did not vote for liz truss as the leader. interesting that the front of the daily telegraph doesn't actually have a picture of liz truss on its front pages, instead it has suella braverman, the home secretary. talking about her various interventions at the conference, describing her as "a new heroin of the tory grassroots full cycles ago i don't know if you saw her speech, but she received two standing ovation. ,, ., , , , ovation. she absolutely terrifies me, i find _ ovation. she absolutely terrifies me, i find that _ ovation. she absolutely terrifies me, i find that so _ ovation. she absolutely terrifies me, i find that so depressing. l ovation. she absolutely terrifies - me, i find that so depressing. she's been talking about benefits street, a reference to a programme on channel 4 in 2014, which was full of
11:37 pm
lazy troops. she has a very strong ideology, and all of it frightens me. there was an interview she did with somebody from the telegraph, and it was honestly unbelievable. she was talking about how, "it's my dream to see a plane taking off and going to rwanda." ijust thought, in the past i've heard people talk about their dream being world peace or to find a cure for a horrible disease — for your dream to be a personal hell for other people, that strikes me as very strange. nonetheless, her messages on the low tax, welfare spending cuts, reducing migration certainly went down well with the tory grassroots in the room. david, let's turn to the guardian because that too has a picture of suella braverman on the front. "tory turmoilamid picture of suella braverman on the front. "tory turmoil amid claims of kuta out liz truss. because what you already touched on this with grant
11:38 pm
shapps, and in this, he said that liz truss had ten days to turn this around, and mps might remove her if polls continue to show labour on course for a majority. there will be people in their —— with their heads in their hands, thinking that in ten days they could have another tory leadership contest. i days they could have another tory leadership contest.— days they could have another tory leadership contest. i have a number of conservative _ leadership contest. i have a number of conservative friends _ leadership contest. i have a number of conservative friends who've - leadership contest. i have a number of conservative friends who've had i of conservative friends who've had their head — of conservative friends who've had their head in their hands in recent weeks _ their head in their hands in recent weeks. some of them have stayed away from the _ weeks. some of them have stayed away from the conservative party conference, some of them went and left before _ conference, some of them went and left before using the excuse of the rail strike — left before using the excuse of the rail strike tomorrow. but in truth, they are _ rail strike tomorrow. but in truth, they are in — rail strike tomorrow. but in truth, they are in despair. as far as suella — they are in despair. as far as suella braverman is concerned, i've -ot suella braverman is concerned, i've got some _ suella braverman is concerned, i've got some bad news for her, i'm afraid _ got some bad news for her, i'm afraid - — got some bad news for her, i'm afraid - new— got some bad news for her, i'm afraid — new heroin of the tory grassroots. _ afraid — new heroin of the tory grassroots, do you know who one of the last _
11:39 pm
grassroots, do you know who one of the last ones was? that was liz truss. — the last ones was? that was liz truss. i— the last ones was? that was liz truss, i seem to remember. but today, _ truss, i seem to remember. but today, she — truss, i seem to remember. but today, she gave a very traditionalist tory speech. foreign students _ traditionalist tory speech. foreign students got a bit of a bashing, and of course, _ students got a bit of a bashing, and of course, immigration is nowjust about— of course, immigration is nowjust about up— of course, immigration is nowjust about up to — of course, immigration is nowjust about up to the levels it was around the time _ about up to the levels it was around the time of— about up to the levels it was around the time of the brexit vote, as weii~ _ the time of the brexit vote, as weii~ so— the time of the brexit vote, as well. so it's a very difficult time, but sueiia — well. so it's a very difficult time, but suella braverman most certainly was ioyai _ but suella braverman most certainly was loyal to her prime minister, to the woman— was loyal to her prime minister, to the woman who's made her home secretary — the woman who's made her home secreta . ., secretary. indeed, in turning to the daily exnress. _ secretary. indeed, in turning to the daily express, because _ secretary. indeed, in turning to the daily express, because i— secretary. indeed, in turning to the daily express, because i feel - secretary. indeed, in turning to the daily express, because i feel we . daily express, because i feel we have got to try, in the interest of bbc impartiality, do that. "pm: my changes will disrupt but build better future. " changes will disrupt but build better future." this is, changes will disrupt but build betterfuture." this is, again, as we were saying earlier, gemma, the
11:40 pm
express describing liz truss as defiant, warning that growth will cause disruption but the shake—up will eventually make life better for everyone. speaking a bit more broadly, there's an awful lot writing on this conference speech tomorrow, isn't there?— writing on this conference speech tomorrow, isn't there? there is, the ressure tomorrow, isn't there? there is, the pressure is — tomorrow, isn't there? there is, the pressure is on- _ tomorrow, isn't there? there is, the pressure is on. good luck. _ tomorrow, isn't there? there is, the pressure is on. good luck. she's - tomorrow, isn't there? there is, the pressure is on. good luck. she's not| pressure is on. good luck. she's not the greatest communicator. we will all remember the pork market speech, so let's hope it goes a bit better than that. you know, as david is saying here, i understand what you're saying about impartiality, by the conservative party, broadly speaking, there are all of those empty seats— you've got people like michael gove and grant shapps coming out with this really bruising leadership contest, all in disarray that she hasn't cultivated anybody�*s loyalty at this stage, she's crashed in like a bull in a china shop, and
11:41 pm
the polls reflect what the public are feeling right now, just at the time when they are crying out for help — and she's done the reverse, making things really hard for many, many people. making things really hard for many, many petiole-— making things really hard for many, man --eole. ., ., , many people. moving on to the times, i don't many people. moving on to the times, i don't know — many people. moving on to the times, i don't know if— many people. moving on to the times, i don't know if we _ many people. moving on to the times, i don't know if we can _ many people. moving on to the times, i don't know if we can zoom _ many people. moving on to the times, i don't know if we can zoom in - i don't know if we can zoom in on the front page of the times, but i think you future on the front, don't you? "are you a catch? the over 50s list." and it's a picture of you demonstrate in this question. i list." and it's a picture of you demonstrate in this question. i was surprised. i'd _ demonstrate in this question. i was surprised, i'd written _ demonstrate in this question. i was surprised, i'd written a _ demonstrate in this question. i was surprised, i'd written a piece - demonstrate in this question. iws surprised, i'd written a piece in their about a poll that over 50s have done, all to do with dating and what their checklist is. so i'm pleased to be on the front, but also, i'm not 50 yet and everyone will think i am! i'm not far off, but yeah, what can you do? laughter sor , but yeah, what can you do? laughter sorry. that's — but yeah, what can you do? laughter sorry, that's absolutely _ but yeah, what can you do? laughter sorry, that's absolutely brilliant. - sorry, that's absolutely brilliant.
11:42 pm
hold that thought, david, let's come to you for more on liz truss, there's a picture of her, open mouth again it used on the papers. "brace for more change, says liz truss the disrupter." what's your view, can she pull through this? i disrupter. " what's your view, can she pull through this?— she pull through this? i think it's immensely. _ she pull through this? i think it's immensely, immensely - she pull through this? i think it's immensely, immensely difficult, she pull through this? i think it's - immensely, immensely difficult, and i'm immensely, immensely difficult, and i'm pretty— immensely, immensely difficult, and i'm pretty certain, certainly the conservative mps that i know are deeply, _ conservative mps that i know are deeply, deeply worried about the situation — deeply, deeply worried about the situation they are in. i mean, you have _ situation they are in. i mean, you have the — situation they are in. i mean, you have the comment in paragraph three of this— have the comment in paragraph three of this story, "the speech of liz truss— of this story, "the speech of liz truss tomorrow in birmingham is in danger— truss tomorrow in birmingham is in danger of— truss tomorrow in birmingham is in danger of being overshadowed by a cabinet _ danger of being overshadowed by a cabinet revolt over benefit rises, as well— cabinet revolt over benefit rises, as well as — cabinet revolt over benefit rises, as well as recent u—turns." and when you have _ as well as recent u—turns." and when you have words on the eve before a

11:44 pm
difficult. so now she's talking about migration and saying we need more labour to get growth going how often clement how is she stimulating the economy like that? people's wages have stagnated for so long. the idea that growth can only happen at the top of the economy, she can stand up and say what she is liked that she likes, but we've been governed by slogans for a long time. and if the slogans aren't backed by results, you lose it. she has to provide a clear eyed strategy with support. and listen, i wouldn't want to be prime minister, but she really wanted to do it, and gosh she's made an impact, hasn't she, in ten days? she's managed to crash £500 billion off the global markets. i'm afraid to say, i'm not mystic meg, but i can't see her premiership lasting.
11:45 pm
interesting, david, let's look at another story in the times, not the one about gemma, but "strike curbs planned to avoid total shutdown." whether this is meant to move the agenda on a bit, but liz truss is considering plans to make it more difficult for teachers, nurses, doctors, firefighters to go on strike? in what way? i’m doctors, firefighters to go on strike? in what way?- strike? in what way? i'm not actually sure _ strike? in what way? i'm not actually sure where - strike? in what way? i'm not actually sure where this - strike? in what way? i'm not| actually sure where this story strike? in what way? i'm not i actually sure where this story is new _ actually sure where this story is new this— actually sure where this story is new. this new legislation has been mooted _ new. this new legislation has been mooted over a significant period of time _ mooted over a significant period of time but— mooted over a significant period of time but it — mooted over a significant period of time. but it may well be that there is an— time. but it may well be that there is an effort— time. but it may well be that there is an effort within the spin doctors who don't— is an effort within the spin doctors who don't seem to be getting very good _ who don't seem to be getting very good press in birmingham at the moment, — good press in birmingham at the moment, they are doing their best. but we've _ moment, they are doing their best. but we've also heard talk this week of another— but we've also heard talk this week of another plan that liz truss is

11:47 pm
resign, or calla track? have you got any advice? resign, or call a general election. i'm not being facetious. i don't know, maybe she will get rid of kwasi kwarteng and use him as a scapegoat. i don't know. i genuinely think that the tories don't know. i feel like what i'm hearing and seeing is that you have a party who don't know what to do for the best. do they change the laws with the 1922 committee, put letters in, and change the legislation so she doesn't have a year's grace, change leader, which would look like a bit of a joke? 0r leader, which would look like a bit ofajoke? or do leader, which would look like a bit of a joke? or do theyjust let her stay, see what other havoc she wreaks, go to a general election and lose profoundly? so i don't have the answer, i can only say what i would like, which is that i would like some democracy now after six chances in the exchequer, for prime

election. i'mjust before the lead up to the american election. i'm just still before the lead up to the american election. i'mjust still thinking about what david was saying and thinking about if there was a coalition, that to me might be a goodidea coalition, that to me might be a good idea because then the parties might actually back proportional representation. anyway, side bar, sorry. representation. anyway, side bar, sor . ., �* representation. anyway, side bar, sor . representation. anyway, side bar, sor. ., ., sorry. you've tossed that hand urenade sorry. you've tossed that hand grenade in _ sorry. you've tossed that hand grenade in just _ sorry. you've tossed that hand grenade in just as _ sorry. you've tossed that hand grenade in just as we - sorry. you've tossed that hand grenade in just as we run - sorry. you've tossed that hand grenade in just as we run out | sorry. you've tossed that hand | grenade in just as we run out of time. i can't pick up that baton and run with it, sadly, but always great to have you with us, thank you so much for your time. thank you for joining us, as well, that is it for the papers tonight, they will be back again tomorrow evening with yves pollard and sam lister, whose political editor at the daily express. dojoin us political editor at the daily express. do join us then political editor at the daily express. dojoin us then if political editor at the daily express. do join us then if you political editor at the daily express. dojoin us then if you can, but from now —— for now, bye—bye. hello, i'm hugh ferris. for all their stuttering in the premier league, liverpool have consolidated their champions league position with a second group win —
11:51 pm
2—0 over rangers, who are still waiting for their first victory — while spurs, like liverpool, are second in their group after a 0—0 draw at eintracht frankfurt. andy swiss reports. a european night, but an all—british blockbuster. liverpool against rangers for, remarkably, the first time ever in a competitive match, and for the hosts, what a start... alexander—arnold takes! trent alexander—arnold putting liverpool ahead with one of the finest free kicks you'll ever see. talk about pinpoint precision. and they would've extended their lead were it not for the evergreen allan mcgregor — now 40, but almost single—handedly he kept rangers in it. until after the break, this happened. showed his customary composure. matondo's effort brilliantly cleared off the line by tsimikas
11:52 pm
as the visitors so nearly found a late goal but it was ultimately liverpool's night after a comfortable 2—0 victory. proved a frustrating one. plenty of chances but they could not take them and come the second half, frankfurt nearly made them pay. tottenham keeper hugo lois to the rescue. the result, a 0—0 draw, but for spurs a potentially valuable point. the other games in both liverpool and spurs' groups were particularly dramatic. ajax scored after nine minutes, but lost 6—1 to napoli, who are ahead of liverpool. while sporting were 1—0 up afterjust 51 seconds, but were also on the end of a heavy defeat, 4—1 at marseille. they stay above spurs. elsewhere, club bruges have won three out of three after beating atletico madrid, and inter milan beat barcelona. sheffield united are still top
11:53 pm
of the championship, despite losing to qpr tonight. chris willock got the only goal on a night when four of the top five played each other. they included norwich, who could have gone above sheffield united — and indeed, were at one point at reading — but they could only draw 1—1 afterjeff hendrick�*s equaliser. norwich stay second, with reading a point and place below them. england captain leah williamson will miss friday's friendly with the usa — and next week's match against czech republic, after picking up an injury in training. she'll return to arsenal for rehabilitation — and has been replaced in the squad by her clubmate lotte wubben moy, who was a non—playing member of the lionesses�* euros—winning squad. nikkita parris has also been called up after lucy parker's injury ruled her out of the two matches that begin against the usa at a sold—out wembley, where the team and winning goal—scorer chloe kelly will return for the first time since the euros final. i think we can't get too carried away with them, just focusing on ourselves.
11:54 pm
and that's what we did massively in the summer. and looking forward, we know what we've got in our group, and the threats that we can cause teams. but yeah, it's tough opposition and we're ready for the challenge, because i think these challenges really shape you. meanwhile this week, an investigation found that abuse and misconduct "had become systemic" in the usa's national women's soccer league. the investigation was launched last year, after allegations were made against north carolina courage's english head coach paul riley — who was sacked and denies the accusations. lioness rachel daly played most of her club career in the states before signing for aston villa this season — she gave us her reaction. saddened. you know, it's happening far too frequent for me, and it shouldn't be happening at all. but all we can do is stand in solidarity with the players that have come and spoken out. we stand with them as players, as i'm sure the rest of the nation here and in the us do. but yeah, i'm in full solidarity with them and send all my best and love,
11:55 pm
and hopefully they can... you know, i don't want to say move on from it, but hopefully they can park it and move forward in life, because it's not a nice experience to go through. no one should deal with that, but we are here to stand in solitarity with them. saracens hookerjamie george will miss england's autumn internationals because of a foot injury. george picked up the injury in sarries�* big win over leicester tigers on saturday. he's expected to be sidelined for around ten weeks. england host argentina in their opening autumn international next month, before facing japan, new zealand, and world champions south africa. staying with saracens — and max malins willjoin bristol bears at the end of the season. the full back was last season's leading premiership try scorer with 16. he joined the saracens academy as a teenager and made his senior debut for the team in 2017, but he's also spent time on loan with the bears. wasps have asked for more time to resolve their financial problems with a "number of potential investors and funders" having come forward. wasps holdings limited — which includes the premiership club
11:56 pm
