Well, this is Sky News. In just a
moment, the press preview, a first look
at what is on the front pages. First
though, our top stories this evening.
The Prime Minister Sakir Stalmer says he
wants asylum hotels shut before the next
election.
Afghanistan's health ministry is asking
for international aid after at least 800
people died in a magnitude 6 earthquake.
And the Kremlin has denied accusations
that it interfered with the GPS system
on a plane carrying the president of the
European Commission, Ursula von Delay.
[Music]
Well, hello there. You're watching the
press preview, a first look at what is
on the front pages. Time then to see
what's making the headlines tonight with
the political commentator, Adam Bolton,
and the Telegraph's comment editor,
Annabelle Denim. Welcome and lovely to
see both of you. So, as ever, let's
check out those front pages, shall we?
Starting with the times. It looks at the
announcement today from the home
secretary about reforms to the asylum
system, saying Iette Cooper is taking
the fight to Farage. The Guardian says
Kama's reshuffle is an attempt to regain
control of economic policy from the
Treasury. The eye focuses on the prime
minister's cabinet reshuffle as the
chancellor's number two moves to a new
position in the cabinet. Smiling through
the pain, the Daily Telegraph also looks
uh at Rachel Reeves's second in command,
moving to a new role in government.
Financial Times says the prime
minister's shakeup is designed to arrest
the slide in his and the party's
fortunes.
I'd be safer in Somalia. That is the
headline on the front page of the metro.
Looking at Sky News's special report
from None about asylum seekers. The
headline for the Daily Mail, 3,567
in, zero out. The paper labeling the
government's one-in-one policy a fiasco.
A warning from reforms leader Nigel
Farage to the Prime Minister. It's on
the front page of the Daily Express.
Daily Mirror carries calls from health
experts to get rid of vapes amid fears
they increase the risk of strokes. And
the Sun looks ahead to the upcoming
series of Strictly Come Dancing with
reports that some celebrity contestants
are taking weight loss drugs. While the
Daily Star has an interview with the
actress Emily Attack, who says she was
groped at different rap parties. So,
let's bring in Adam and Annabelle and
many of the newspapers leading on the
political maneuvers today. Uh, not least
what felt like an internal reshuffle of
sorts. Um, and the Financial Times
suggests this is to arrest the slide.
Adam, what did you make of what we saw
today? The movement of Darren Jones, for
example, from uh from the Treasury.
>> Well, nobody saw anything like this
happening. There was speculation that
there might be ministerial moves. there
was uh uh I mean important to bear in
mind that some of these people who've
been moved today were only appointed a
matter of months ago. So it clearly
shows that there's uh quite a lot of
turmoil uh in at the top of government.
I mean the financial times saying that
uh Kstarma is acting to stop the slide
is presumably how one can make sense of
the moves that have been made. Now the
interesting thing is that it appears
that Saki Starma has taken control of
the economy and presumably control of
the very difficult budget to come up
away from the Treasury and Rachel Reeves
because he's taken uh Darren Jones who
was the first secretary to the treasury.
He's now called first secretary to the
prime minister. It's a sideways move. It
appears at the moment that there isn't
going to be a cabinet level
uh first secretary to the treasury which
is a job traditionally the man who holds
the purse strings and actually has to
work out government spending. Um and
he's also bringing in again has been
widely trailed uh Minus Shafi as a an
adviser someone who uh worked for the
Bank of England and has recently been
head of uh um Colombia University and is
you know whenever people talk about we
need an economist she's normally top you
know fairly near the top of the list. So
what's interesting about this in a sense
is if K star is taking control, why is
he doing it? Bearing in mind that Rachel
Reeves has been his closest ally and
also if there's going to be a full guy
after the budget for the state of the
economy, he's sort of lined himself up
rather than Rachel Reeves.
>> Yeah, absolutely. Daily Telegraph uh
smiling through the pain uh showing
Rachel Reeves. Uh their take is that
Reeves has had to put on a brave face
after being frozen out by Sakir Stalmer
whose cadra or cadra of left-leaning
finance experts will now oversee the
budget. We'll come on to the leftleaning
part of that in just a moment because
there's been reams of coverage about
that already. But is this taking the
legs away from Rachel Reeves? And if so,
picking up what Adam said, why is it why
is it necessary? And why would K star
want to have his fingerprints all over
the October budget? Let's not forget in
the Labor manifesto, they said they
weren't intending to raise taxes beyond
those they had set out. Among them, the
VAT on private school fees. Then you had
the October budget last year when they
raised taxes by4 billion pounds,
including that 25 billion pound increase
in employers national insurance. Then at
the start of the year, the chancellors
insisted that she wouldn't be coming
back to raise taxes further. And here we
are just a few months later. We've had a
week or so now of pitch rolling about
which taxes might be increased and it
very much looks as though the sequencing
could be that Reeves stands up at the
October November budget this year. She
hikes taxes again. It's deeply unpopular
with the electorate and that is the
moment when Kia Stalmer decides he's got
to act so he's got to have a more
fundamental reset. However, you know,
let's see. And certainly she's beaming
on the cover of the uh Daily Telegraph
and that's perhaps reminding reader
readers of those images, those scenes
from the Commons Chamber just a couple
of months ago when she was in tears and
>> still no one's ever worked out.
>> We really didn't get to the bottom of
it. But the problem really is when you
start to have divisions between a prime
minister and their chancellor, you get
markets feeling a bit more jittery.
They're not putting on a united front.
Look at what's happening with guilt
yields and how those are rising.
Obviously, our national debt is
absolutely enormous. So that
relationship is actually very important
not just for the functioning of
government and ensuring that the economy
is man managed as best as possible but
also the optics of it and
>> and the state of the public finance is
such the headroom's so small that for
half the year we seem to have
speculation about what taxes will be
taken in the budget or services cut
which seems or you know which is
difficult given what happened in the
>> but that is exactly the point I mean
we've now got I think uh the highest
cost of borrowing for the in the G7, the
highest inflation rate in the G7, and
the overall debt level is going up,
although it's not as bad as France, for
example, or Italy. But it's crisis. And
one of the reasons why all this appears
to be going on in public is because
that's the only way to keep the markets
on side. you know, you can't afford to
have a budget which suddenly shocks
people because, you know, we saw what
happened uh with List Trust and and
Quasi Quatten and so now basically that
they are arguing all this out
effectively in public.
>> So the tax on landlords for example any
suggestions of wealth taxes some of the
people who've been brought in to advise
to bell etc. Are you saying we will see
a proportion of those or we'll see most
of them come in? you know what is your
best bet on the direction that they
given the people now helping
>> I mean I think there's argument going on
are there a lot of kites being flown
>> but I think by the time we get to the
budget remember we still don't know when
it's going to be
>> no
>> it won't be a surprise whatever it is
and it may be that already we've reached
a point where someone in the government
says well I can't go along with this I
mean because the essential the essential
problem that karma has got is as a
result of the Uturns he made over uh
winter fuel allowance and subsequently
he can't put up taxes because his own
party have told him you he can't cut
welfare because his own party told him
he can't cut welfare. So that they're
incredibly cornered.
>> They are I mean they're totally boxed
in. There's very little discussion on
the spending side of the ledger coming
from Labor. How are they going to bring
down government expenditure, which they
will need to do because there's only so
much they're going to be able to squeeze
out of the productive side of the
economy if they are to stick to their
tax triple lock of not raising income
tax, national insurance, although
they've already raised employers,
national insurance or VAT. I suspect
that they might address maybe some VAT
exemptions. They won't touch the rate of
VAT, but they might broaden that net.
perhaps hiking council tax. I don't
know, some money here or there down the
back of the sofa. But obviously, as
Adams referenced, they went into the
summer very divided. They just had the
U-turn on the winter fuel payment and
then they had that welfare reform
massive row. And there's a sense I think
that Labour have wasted the weeks of the
summer and actually just lost more
ground to Farad who I think is actually
you know he's had quite a good couple of
months and does still feel as though the
momentum is very much still with reform
and heads to their party conference this
weekend don't they so in a sense they
get the momentum again despite the fact
that we saw today you know asylum
they're going to try and stop the family
reunions as part of this uh policy to
try and crack down on migration. Yeah,
absolutely. And and we've also had today
not just these changes, but the the
prime minister giving a back to work
interview on the radio. Yeah.
>> And what's interesting about that
>> is that he he said two things. First of
all, he sort of said, well, you know,
what reform are proposing on migrants
will be quite nice, but it won't work.
>> It's fanciful. You know, he didn't
forget it. He didn't dreamland stuff.
>> He didn't actually make a sort of moral
or practical case against what reform's
saying. And then on top of that, he just
said, "Right, you know, from now on, the
priority is I understand why people are
fed up. I'm going to address the cost of
living." Um,
>> and by the way, I've got George's flag
in uh in number 10. Yeah. But
>> I mean, he he is sort of, you know,
dancing to the tune or trying to dance
to the tune of those people who are
unhappy at the moment.
>> Yeah. So, so how much of the policy we
we see is electoral numbers driven in
terms of the polling? The eye still
going on the undermining of Rachel
Reeves. Stara seizes the grip of the
budget after treasury mistakes hit labor
in the polls and certainly I know Annal
you could list them in your view. Daily
Mails decided to go on uh the
immigration system and the promise that
those returns of those arriving in small
boats will begin you know fairly soon.
Um but again you know can they rely on
the one-in-one system? Clearly not from
uh from the Daily Mail. So the problem
is they're asking for patience
effectively aren't they? And yet people
see sharp action from America from
Trump's America, you know, speedy severe
action. And we're being asked, we've got
things in place. They might be a bit
dull, not as fanciful, you know, as
Farage. Bear with us. But people don't
want to bear with anymore.
>> Well, that that is the figure the Daily
Mail gives that figure of the number of
people who've come in since uh Karma
took over. But actually zero out is not
true as they would say. they would say
that they've had flights of people
leaving the country. But it just shows
that, you know, you can argue about
these figures in all sorts of different
ways. For example,
the figures for August are likely to be
down on August last year and previous
years, but the government doesn't even
dare try and boast about that because
the overall figures uh are going up and
and it'll be very interesting. I mean,
one of the changes that uh Karma made
today was bringing in his third head of
communications,
>> somebody you you will remember.
>> I mean, we we both knew. I mean, he's a
man called Tim Allen who we first knew
as deputy to Alistister Campbell in the
Blair years. He then came and actually
worked for this company. He he was head
of public affairs at this company. Then
he went out into business, set up his
own public affairs company, Portland, uh
which uh he sold. So he's uh not a man
who has to work. Uh he's he's he's
wealthy, but he's a very forceful
figure. And um Steve Richards, who I
know reviews the papers here sometimes,
remembered and I remembered to the
farewell party when Tim Allen left
Downing Street where Tony Blair joked.
Uh actually the thing about Tim, he's
even more right-wing than I am. So it'll
be very interesting to see how Tim Allen
fits in that. But certainly he is a
bigger and more powerful figure than
either Matt Doyle or James Lions who've
preceded him in this job. But I do think
it does, you know, you could argue it
doesn't matter who's in that role. Karma
is on to his third, fourth comm's
director in number 10. If the prime
minister doesn't have an plan for
government, if he doesn't have a vision
for how he wants the country to look
after four, five, then what is the
message that these experts are going to
be selling to the country? And that's
fundamental.
>> Well, there is there is a saying in
American politics, you can put lipstick
on a pig, but it's still a pig.
On that note, it's time to take a break,
I think. Actually, uh, coming up, uh,
Sky News's special report, uh, on
divisions over asylum seekers in Neton
featuring on the front of tomorrow's,
uh, Metro. document.
Sky News has been given exclusive data
showing every Palestinian who has been
killed in Gaza since the war began. Our
analysis of this pattern in the killing
suggests that entire families were wiped
out in their homes or shelters. The data
and forensics team is a multi-skilled
unit dedicated to providing transparent
journalism from Sky News. We located
footage of the ADORP to a tent camp in
central Gaza.
>> These airdrops are falling in extremely
populated areas.
>> We combine traditional reporting with
advanced analysis of satellite imagery,
social media, and other open-source
information. And this is just one of the
strikes and incidents we've been able to
geollocate across Gaza. Sky News has
found Nazi speeches and marching music
have been used as background sound on
tens of thousands of Tik Tok videos as
far groups try and spread their message.
Sky News has seen 72,000 posts used in
this way. There's no evidence yet of
foul play at Heathrow that shows
weaknesses that enemies could take
advantage of. Elon Musk says it is quote
a viper's nest of radical left Marxists
who hate America. Supporters say it
saves lives and projects American power
and influence. I think we would
generally be called far right. Sure.
>> It's called Return to the Land and they
invited me in.
>> A lot of people are going to be why you
making Nazi references,
>> right?
>> Well, why wouldn't I?
>> Its founder says he is building a
fortress for the white race.
>> It's a racial association. I kind of
want to ask you, you know, after seeing
this, do you think what we're doing is
immoral?
>> We followed a social media trail that
led us to Bristol where a confrontation
between protesters erupted into a
fullscale riot
here. It really is pitch battles,
skirmishes, hling missiles, throwing
punches.
>> I'm Tom Chesher, Skye's data and
forensics correspondent.
>> What might happen if Russia attacked the
UK? This is clearly an enormous show of
force. It is definitely out of the
ordinary.
>> We ran a war game with former ministers
back in the hot seat.
>> Ben Wallace,
>> Amber Rod,
>> Jack Straw.
>> It's the kind of war game that's
genuinely tested inside government.
>> The Russians are signaling that there
may be an attack.
>> Russia knows our weaknesses, but do you?

journey from conflict to peace. The end
of the political stalemate, the start of
a new chapter for Northern Ireland.
Catholics and Protestants now facing the
same threat. If we both contract COVID
19, religion's nothing.
>> Sky News, the full story first.
>> Welcome back. You're watching the press
preview joined once again by the
political commentator Adam Bolton and
the comment editor of the Daily
Telegraph, Annabel Denon. Welcome back
to both of you. Uh your paper then
Annabelle. Um Angela Raina uh in the
news a lot, one might say. Um she can't
tell us about her tax affairs. Why not?
This is because apparently there's a
confidential court order which prevents
her from disclosing details uh about
them. Um so they believe that the order
will cover her divorce, any proceedings
involving the children um and they will
get legal protections as a consequence
of that. So it may well be that this
enables her to shut down um some of the
questions uncomfortable questions that
she's been facing relating to her
property dealings and her clearly very
complex financial arrangements. Um, now
nobody at any point has suggested that
she's done something illegal here,
though the Tories have raised questions
about the fact that the taxpayer is
paying council tax on uh where she's
living at Admiral T house um which is
regarded as her second um second home uh
though she doesn't own it. Uh
nevertheless, it's not a great look for
somebody who is the most prominent
figure on the left of the Labor Party to
be so canny with her own tax affairs.
Let's not forget that it's very much the
left position that really we ought to
pay all the taxes that uh we should. We
ought to all pay our fair share in order
that we can fund our public services,
our wonderful NHS and so on and so
forth. Um, so you know it she may not
have technically done anything wrong but
you have to wonder you know and will
this continue to follow her around.
>> Well the telegraph certainly not letting
go is it? Let's be fair. Let's go to the
metro shall we? And it's um after our
correspondent report Freeman Powell as
well amid protests at hotels housing
migrants rising hostility towards asylum
seekers. We touched on this briefly with
ICT Cooper standing in the comments
today talking about family reunions
would be squeezed out and and saying
that Labour will not you know fan the
flames of division Adam uh which is
clearly an accusation towards reform um
on you know George's flags union union
flags etc and on the protests outside
assignment hotels. Yeah, this actually
is a story taken straight from Sky News
that uh uh this man who's been an asylum
sometime asylum seeker who's been in the
UK for 20 years saying now he wants to
go back to Somalia because he feels it
would be safer there. It appears uh that
rather than go back himself, he wants uh
the taxpayer to pay for him to go back.
But I mean what is interesting about
this is you know the whole question of
asylum is based on the fact of people
being in danger and you know if they
don't feel they're any longer in danger
then maybe uh you know they will go back
and and it just reminded me that this is
what Samo Farah has done as well is it
not he's he Somali uh was a um asylum
seeker here and he I think he's now
taken his family to Dubai or somewhere
has he not? Um he was a Somali as well.
So um it's almost as if
you know global circumstances may
actually mean that this is less of a
problem. But it also raises a question
as to whether people are genuinely
asylum seekers or they're what are
called economic migrants, i.e. shopping
around to live somewhere where they
think they'll get a better life and then
when that changes prepared to go back on
what they originally wanted to do.
>> Uh let's go to the Daily Mirror. Um ban
the vape scientists warn of irreversible
harm to young people's brains and
hearts. Annabelle,
>> yes. And there have been various panics
over the last decade or so relating to
vapes. There were concerns about popcorn
lung though I think those have been
those have dissipated somewhat. Um
ultimately you know my view is we ought
to welcome vaping as a form of harm
reduction. Nobody is suggesting it is
good for you but nevertheless the rate
of people smoking has since 2012 when
vaping really sort of became a big
thing. So Annabelle we've run out of
time. Annabelle Adam fascinating stuff
tonight. Thank you both very much
indeed. Thank you. Press preview
continues in the 11.
>> Fire shouts the commander.
>> There's a dash to safety. We've now got
to wait inside the shelter to see if
there is incoming. I'm Deborah Haynes,
Sky security and defense editor. Should
Russia's war with Ukraine escalate
significantly, pilots like these could
be called upon to go into combat for
real.
Hear
that whistle and that crunch? We know
that they coming from the south of the
city where there's a column of Russian
armory. I'm Alex Crawford and I'm Skye's
special correspondent based in Istanul.
>> Look at that sheet of flames. And that
has happened within minutes. And now
it's coming from both sides and it's
moving this way.
It is 11:00. This is Sky News's extended
press preview. Our top story, a promise
to close asylum hotels for good as the
government unveils plans to tackle the
migration crisis. The prime minister
insists he completely gets public
concern over migration as he rejigs his
Downing Street team after a summer of
discontent.
Also tonight, the Taliban says more than
800 people have been killed in an
earthquake in Afghanistan.
Russia is accused of jamming the GPS on
board a plane carrying the president of
the European Commission. Plus, a
recordbreaking transfer deadline day as
Liverpool finally get their man. Well,
over the next hour, we will be
discussing today's news with our
reviewers, the political commentator
Adam Bolton, and the Telegraph's comment
editor Annabelle Denim.
And later, we'll have a full run through
for you of tomorrow's front pages.
Well, hello there. Good evening. Uh, we
will bring you then the headlines and
tomorrow's front pages over the over the
uh views of our paper reviewers, the
the common editor of the Telegraph,
Annabal Denim. First though, the prime
minister has insisted that he completely
gets public concern about migration and
says he wants to accelerate plans to
empty asylum hotels before the next
election. The government has also
confirmed that it is pausing new
applications for refugee family reunions
and will begin the first returns of
migrants who have crossed the channel
later this month. Well, the
announcements came as Saki Starmer
rejigged his Downing Street operation in
the wake of a summer which has seen
protests on the streets over migration
and a labor slump in the polls. Here's
our deputy political editor Sam Coats.
The faces of his closest aids on the day
after the election. Or at least that was
then. In the five years since he's
become leader, Karma has had four chiefs
of staff, two cabinet secretaries, and
five directors of communication. And
today, again, he changed that team
around him.
On the left is Darren Jones, the
Treasury number two, who oversaw
government spending. He's being sent
next door to help the prime minister.
>> Old faces back, too. Tim Allen helped
Labour prep for power in 1997 and after
a spell in lobbying is now in charge of
the political message back for phase two
of this government. The urgency and the
frustration I completely understand. I
want to go further and faster. Um and
that's amongst the reasons I've done
some changes here in number 10 today to
make number 10 more powerful to drive
through the changes that we need
>> to deliver pointed promises like this.
When it comes to the asylum hotels, I
want them emptied. I've been really
clear about that.
>> Most moves seem designed to boost number
10's economic firepower as they wrestle
with a massive budget black hole, but
one appointment matters most. The prime
minister has brought in a Mr. Fix It to
sort out his problems. Mid-ranking
cabinet minister Darren Jones has been
parachuted into Downing Street with a
brief to stick his nose in other cabinet
ministers affairs and report back to the
prime minister about what works and what
doesn't. Maybe there's a reason that job
and job title chief secretary to the
prime minister has never existed in the
past.
>> Delivery for these protesters is hard.
The home secretary clear that closing
hotels forever won't happen at once. We
need to close all asylum hotels and we
need to do so for good. But that must be
done in a controlled and orderly manner
and not through a return to the previous
government's chaos that led to the
opening of hotels in the first place.
>> The Tories say this is a damp squib.
>> What I would actually like to see the
home secretary talk about is how she's
going to close down the asylum hotels.
What they have done with their recent
court case is actually show that they
believe that illegal migrants have more
rights than our local communities and we
completely disagree with that.
>> This morning we've got all the number 10
staff together.
>> Fresh start, new team. But will it solve
old problems? Sam Coat Sky News
Westminster.
>> Well, in the towns affected by the
migration crisis, deep divisions remain.
Our Midlands correspondent Shaman
Freeman Powell has been reporting from
Neton. there. She spoke to an asylum
seeker from Somalia who's been in the UK
for 20 years, but wants to be deported
because he says he would be safer there.
>> I don't want to come here to eat and
sleep like baby. You understand? Just I
have life go back and in Somalia the
country is not safe but my country now
I'm safe. I want to go back.
>> Washand reporting makes the front page
of the metro. its headline, I'd be safer
in Somalia. Uh the I says or the metro
rather says it's contacted the home
office about the asylum seekers case.
Daily Mail calls the government's onein
oneout policy a fiasco. The eye focuses
on the prime minister's cabinet
reshuffle today, if you can call it
that, as the chancellor's number two
moves to a new position in the cabinet.
Smiling through the pain, the Daily
Telegraph examines what this means for
Rachel Reeves. Uh the second in command,
of course, moving to a new role in
government. As we said, Labour's
desperate plan to stop the boats. That's
on the insides of the express as the
home secretary Iette Cooper lays out the
government's reforms to the asylum
system. So, let's get the thoughts of
Adam and Annabelle. Two parts to this.
Uh the asylum part, the pressure from
Farage and Reform first of all, and the
next part is the internal movements. if
you like in the workings of the Downing
Street operation. Annabal, do you want
to kick off on that latter part to start
with which has certainly dominated the
newspapers?
>> Yes, that's right. So, the FD for
instance talking about StarMA wanting to
arrest uh his sliding in the polls with
a shakeup in Downing Street. Uh what
main appointments I think most people
are expecting some sort of ministerial
reshuffle, but actually what we're
seeing new advisers coming into Downing
Street including a new economics
advisor, Man Shafi. We've seen the chief
secretary to the treasury being moved
from number 10 to number 11. Nobody
replacing him, it seems, as Adam said
earlier at cabinet level. Now, you know,
this is about Star's ninth reset. And
you have to wonder how much these new
appointments are really going to cut
through with the British public. Labor
have had this entire summer to really,
you know, um, have a fundamental
rethink, uh, reflect on 12 months in
government, the first 10 of which saw
them sink further in the polls than any
government previously in history. And
yet, it doesn't really feel as though
they've taken stock and that they are
now going to present a new vision to the
country. In fact, they're talking about
how the first year was all about fixing
the foundations and now it's all about
delivery, delivery, delivery. And you
just wonder which foundations exactly
have been fixed because inflation is up
and growth forecasts have been
downgraded and the markets are
increasingly jittery and our national
debt is around 100% of GDP and what
exactly is it of the economic
inheritance that they have complained
about endlessly they received from the
tries that they've actually fixed and
what exactly is it that they want to
deliver now because Kama doesn't really
seem to have any kind of coherent agenda
for government. to think he was very
successful. He and his chief of staff,
Morgan Mweeny, campaigning and getting
those 411 seats, that big majority, but
it almost feels that they didn't spend
much of the time in opposition really
preparing for government and
establishing what it is that they would
want to achieve. That said, I think what
I Cooper announced today on um
dependence is quite significant because
as you know and quite a lot of the
outrage this summer has been that the
rights of asylum seekers have apparently
seemed to trump the rights of people
already in this country and you know
>> the point about that is if you are a
British sponsor trying to bring in
who's foreign, you get them in more
slowly than if you were an asylum seeker
who's who's been given the protection to
stay and they can get their family.
>> Well, exactly. Significantly more if if
you or if one marries a French person or
an American person,
>> you need the money
>> two years. You have to show you've got
the money and it takes two years to
bring them in. Whereas asylum seekers
once they're given the right to remain
uh with no strings uh have been applying
uh to bring their dependents in within a
month. That's what the home
>> and then taking up the homeless
allocation of local
>> full access to welfare. Now clearly
that's wrong and what she's done now is
she suspended that and you know the
statistics are uh 20 two 20,600 migrants
relatives were granted visas in the year
to March. So this this is a significant
figure on people coming in. But the
politics, Adam, in terms of how the
newspapers are talking about the rejig
uh within Downing Street, Financial
Times, we can see there Stars to arrest
the slide with a shakeup in Downing
Street. The eye, I'm not sure we've got
it. I'll read it anyway. Starma seizes
the grip of the budget after a treasure
treasury mistakes hit Labor in the
polls. And then the Daily Telegraph
smiling through the pain. Um Reeves puts
on a brave face after being frozen out
by Star. Has she been frozen out? Has he
seized control of the budget? And if so,
has he put himself in line to be the
full guy should the budget backfire?
>> Well, what is puzzling about this is is
is difficult to work out why he's made
the changes that he's made other than he
wants better presentation. Got the
Express in front of me. Their headline
number 10 mayhem as Star shoots the
messenger. Again, that's about the
appointment of Tim Allen. But as far as
Rachel Reeves is concerned, there it is
down the bottom left hand side. As far
as Rachel Reeves is concerned,
>> inevitably she's undermined. She's had
her closest minister taken away from her
and taken by the prime minister who's
also bolstering himself with extra
economic advisers with Manu Shafi. But
at the moment, as far as we know, the
prime minister absolutely supports
Rachel Reeves and has repeatedly said he
has confidence in her. So, you know, can
can you make sense of it?
>> No, I mean, it certainly looks as though
she's being undermined with these
appointments and that number 10
ultimately wants to centralize control,
which you know, I think sent a very
dangerous.
>> There had been criticism that number 10
had not overseen number 11 enough.
Anyway, can you I interrupted you?
Sorry. No, but what you want is a
situation where the prime minister has
total trust, confidence, faith in the
chancellor and that they have a strong
enough relationship that he's not
feeling as though he needs to seize
control in a very public way that
certainly the perception at least is
that she is being undermined and that
she doesn't have his confidence and they
are going into what is going to be we
all expect a very unpopular budget which
will see Labor raise taxes once again
with very little being done on the
spending side because we had that
backbench rebellion before the summer.
Um, so you just you just have to wonder
how much thought has actually gone into
the of sequencing and the perception of
this.
>> And the other thing is there's no one's
been promoted to the cabinet. So that
means the number two in the treasury who
basically is someone whose job is to
keep control of government spending is
going to presumably be someone outside
the cabinet. And then if you look at the
people who have been promoted, there are
economic doves and hawks. You know, uh
Tim Allen and uh Mr. Jones are both
people who would like to cut government
spending. On the other hand, uh Min
Shafi and recently the uh promotion uh
of Bell last week, there are people who
appear to favor putting up taxes and not
covering public spending. So, you know,
are we any clearer where the government
is heading on the economy in towards
autumn's budget? The answer is we're
not.
>> I do one one thing that's going to be
quite interesting just in the next few
weeks is whether sort of public concern
over the asylum issue will begin to fade
as we ramp up to the the October
November budget this year or whether you
know we're doing still very still very
fractious. No, of course. But you know,
after the summer months after the
situation in Eping, then you had the
Home Office decided that it would, you
know, challenge that uh court ruling
which said that migrants had to be moved
out of uh that hotel in Eping because of
the change of use of the hotel itself.
It wasn't um in keeping with our
planning laws. Uh but you did have the
Home Office last week ultimately saying
that the rights of asylum seekers should
come before those of local the come
before the concerns of local residents
which seem to be just fanning the
flames. But as I say, I wonder whether
just as we go into the autumn, people's
concerns will turn more to the cost of
living.
>> And people suggesting today that there
is a sweet spot in terms of the majority
have there's those who realize that
they're not going to get a job because
there's too many people to choose from.
you're not going to get put into the
upper house and you might well lose your
seat the rate the polls are going so you
might as well say what you feel. So
you've got your own internal party to
keep on side which clearly we've seen
with rebellion so far um may not be
comfortable for the prime minister
either.
>> Yeah. Well, but this is all part of the
same thing. In as much as he says he
understands why people are frustrated,
but if they go on being frustrated, he's
not going to win the next election. And
so, a lot of his own party are, as you
say, saying, well, I might as well do
what I believe in or what's going to
possibly save me and my constituency.
That means there is no party discipline
as we saw over
>> personal independence payments and and
uh winter fuel. There's no discipline
there uh to enforce um you know what
many people regard as necessary economic
policy.
>> It's tough, isn't it? Yeah. Let's move
on, shall we? Uh this is to the Kremlin
uh which has denied accusations that it
interfered with the GPS system on a
plane carrying the president of the
European Commission Ursula Vander Lion.
A Moscow correspondent Iva Bennett has
more details.
>> Well, the Kremlin hasn't replied to our
request for comment, but they have given
a response to the Financial Times.
Spokesman Dmitri Pescov told the
newspaper, "Your information is
incorrect. The information we have from
the EU is that this incident happened
yesterday on Sunday. Ursula Vanderelion,
who is one of the EU's most senior
officials, was on her way to Bulgaria.
As you say, the plane was on its
approach into the city of Plavde when it
lost its GPS signal and its electronic
navigational aid, which basically means
the pilots don't know where they are.
And in this case, the plane reportedly
had to circle for an hour before landing
using paper maps. So, not disastrous
here, but clearly very alarming
nonetheless. Um, the EU doesn't know for
sure what caused this, but as you heard
there, they suspect Russian
interference, citing information they've
got from Bulgarian authorities. Now,
this isn't the first time that Moscow
has been accused of this kind of thing.
In March last year, the then British
defense secretary Grant Shaps was on
board a plane that experienced exactly
the same kind of thing when flying over
Poland near to Russian airspace in
Kiningrad. Moscow was accused then and
Estonia and other EU member states have
made similar accusations multiple times
over the past 12 and 18 months. In this
case, the timing is certainly curious.
Ursuland was on a tour of the EU's
eastern flank to look at ways of uh
bolstering and improving the block's
defense uh capabilities and readiness in
the face of Russia's invasion of
Ukraine. Whether or not this indeed was
a case of Russian interference, I'm not
sure we'll ever know. But one thing's
for sure, it certainly raised tensions.
>> Well, meanwhile, Vladimir Putin being
given the red carpet treatment in China
as he joined Xiinping and the Indian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a
rather chummy economic summit. Uh here's
how tomorrow's newspapers are covering
that. There's the Times double page
spread as Vladimir Putin holds a
bilateral meeting with the Indian Prime
Minister at that regional summit in
China. The Financial Times calls the
meeting in Shanghai a power play and has
the headline Modi salutes India's oil
deals. Uh Moscow in defiance punitive
Trump tariffs. Not sure I've read that
properly. Uh that story also features on
the front page of the Telegraph too.
China sets out a vision for a new world
order. And in fact, the North Korean
president has uh we read uh his train uh
carrying Kim Jong-un has just crossed
the border into China according to North
Korean state media. So he's joining the
uh the mele uh which the Times world
section calls Adam an anti-West
alliance.
>> Well, I think that's what it is. And I
think it it just goes to show yet
another impact of the election of Donald
Trump. uh Donald Trump has failed to
confront Vladimir Putin or indeed um the
Chinese uh in terms of you know he's
backed off on putting tariffs on the
Chinese
but um he doesn't look like he's the man
uh calling the shots globally or with
sensible policies and and the really
interesting thing is that the Indians
have gone along to this now the Indians
traditionally are you know their main
rivals as they see it and they share a
border of course is China but as Ed
Conway reported in in uh on Sky you know
what is happening now is India faces
tariffs and it's
>> increasing its uh links with China it's
also buying its oil from Putin which
therefore uh continues the Ukrainian war
m machine and if you put that together
with what we were talking about earlier
on um Vander Lion's plane being jammed.
I mean, of course, the Russians have
denied it. They always deny that they're
doing it. But what we are seeing is
the world being forced into different
groups. We got America putting itself
first, not really being effective. We've
got these sort of
>> not not loving Europe either.
>> Yeah, exactly. Europe still threatened,
having to look after itself. And in
fact, what Ursula Mandelion was doing
was really trying to unite Europe on
defense. And then you've got this kind
of axis of evil if you like uh
developing uh in the Shanghai group.
>> I think that's access of big economics
as well. A big economic power.
>> Exactly. Yes. You know it was believed
that this would be the Chinese century
at least by um the Chinese Communist
Party. Uh and these are exactly major
global economic players. And it's a sort
of consolidation as Adam says of this
axis of bad actors, authoritarian bad
actors. But I think what must be most
alarming
>> India would be unhappy to be included in
that because Modi was matey with Trump,
wasn't he? But anyway,
>> he was but then Trump slapped 50%
tariffs on.
>> Yeah. Yeah, there some but I think
what's arguably might be most gling for
Trump is that this is coming just two
weeks after he met Putin in Alaska and
was rolling out the red carpet for him.
They were discussing potential for peace
in Ukraine and now we have, you know,
not only this gathering, but clearly an
unequivocal sort of display of support
from she to Putin, which is what he's
been craving and clamoring for ever
since he launched that illegal invasion
of uh Ukraine. But China has long
claimed neutrality. This is getting
increasingly difficult for Shei to
maintain. Um, and you know, this really
should trouble the West enormously,
particularly Europe, which as Adam says
is is increasingly isolated. You know,
Trump is is no real friend of Europe.
He's been absolutely insistent that we
find a way to stand on our own two feet.
and understandably so in some ways if
you look at what's happened to defense
spending in European countries compared
with the US and who it is that's really
funing funding NATO. Nevertheless, um
you know this is this is clearly a
battle for power. It's clearly the world
being carved up into um pro-western
anti-western forces. It's very very
>> and a massive military parade in China.
um the celebration of the formal
surrender of Japan in World War II,
which is why the North Korean leaders
headed for that. You said Modi, I think,
was leaving.
>> Yeah, I don't think Modi wants to be
associated with that given their their
military tensions. But but you know, um
>> Trump has just alienated everybody. He's
alienated the Indians a by slapping them
with tariffs, but also by claiming that
one of the world pieces he did was
between India and Pakistan. Whereas
Indians India's longstanding position
has been that it does not accept foreign
interference in its foreign policy. Uh
and similarly she now is looking like a
big man again when many people thought
that politically he was under pressure
in China because the economy is not
going so well. So he's just helped
alienate and build up these figures who
you know do not have our interests at
heart.
>> Yeah. destroyed his own soy industry as
well and put it put that all towards
Brazil. Anyway, it's it's a fascinating
ride we're on geopolitically, isn't it?
And we'll certainly keep an eye on that.
I think it's on Wednesday, isn't it?
That big military parade. Um, lots to
come in our press preview, including
condemnation of Israel as the foreign
secretary says Gaza is facing a manmade
banner.

Welcome back then. You are watching the
press preview joined again by the
the Telegraph's comment editor Annabelle
Denim. Hear more from both of you in
just a moment. But first of all to Gaza
uh which the foreign secretary today
described as a man-made famine. Speaking
in the House of Commons, David Lami said
a massive humanitarian response was
needed to prevent more deaths.
>> This is not a natural
disaster. It's a manmade famine.
in the 21st century. And I'm outraged by
the Israeli government's refusal to
allow in sufficient aid.
>> We need a massive, massive humanitarian
response to prevent more deaths,
crucial NOS's, humanitarians, and health
workers allowed to operate, and
stockpiles of aid on Gaza's borders
released.
Yes, certainly strong words there,
Annabelle from from David Lami. Um, you
know, real concern now about people in
Gaza and, you know, how powerless people
feel to do anything about it at times.
>> Well, no, that's right. And the
humanitarian disaster there worsens from
one day to the next. Um, you know, you
look at the strip and it's been reduced
to glass and rubble as a consequence of
this conflict. But a sad reality is that
for Hamas, the human tragedy there, the
loss of innocent civilian lives is a
very powerful propaganda tool in the
war. You know, they care little nothing
at all for the people of Gaza. Um, and
that think makes it extremely difficult
for the IDF to achieve its objectives of
rooting out the terrorist organization
and returning these hostages who've been
held in captivity for the best part of
two years now.
>> And we've got the UN General Assembly
coming up, have we not? Um, the Trump
administration, I think I read, has
pulled the visas of those Palestinian
representatives planning to go. France
pushing for the state of Palestine to be
recognized. David Lammy again
referencing that today. You know,
despite concerns about that, to be fair.
Well, it's going to be a very difficult
one for David Lammy and the prime
minister who who we assume will go as
well because they have said that unless
Israel changed its policy, they would
recognize uh the right of Palestinian
statethood and Israel clearly has not uh
changed its policy. Indeed, the rate of
killings by uh the IDF has gone up. I
think the figure today was 100 people
have been killed uh in in those bomb
attacks and there's still the attempt to
uh move uh Palestinians out of uh the
area which the IDF says it wants to
extend its operations and still talk uh
although um you know the UK in no sense
supported there's still talk of paying
Palestinians to leave the Gaza
altogether. So it's a really very
difficult situation and and all one can
conclude is that frankly no one is
listening to David Lambie.
>> Yes. I think it just underscores how
impotent the UK is and how anything that
we say or do is not going to sway um the
uh direction that this conflict goes in.
Um, and to that end, you wonder what
we're achieving by talking about such
things as recognizing Palestinian
statehood, at least at this stage, and
whether we ought to be backing Israel,
who is our ally, and which was invaded
on October 7th, 2023. Um, you know, what
what exactly is are we gaining um with
these sorts of pronouncements as we see
so frequently from the foreign
secretary? I think I'm right in saying
though that one thing that did happen
today was that uh Greta Sunberg's yacht
had to turn around because of bad
weather.
>> There we go. Yes, much wanted uh you
know aid delivery and the flotilla that
set off.
>> Um lots more still to come in the next
part of our program. We will have a full
run through of tomorrow's front pages
and we'll discuss more of the day's news
back in London.

has happened within minutes. So now it's
coming from both sides and it's moving
this way.
Hello there. You're watching the press
preview with the stories making
tomorrow's newspapers. Joined again by
Adam Bolton and Annabelle Denon. Welcome
back to both of you. So then a full look
at the front pages for tomorrow. Uh the
times to start with looks at the
system saying IT Cooper is taking the
fight to Nigel Farage.
The Guardian says Karma's reshuffle is
an attempt to regain control of economic
policy from the Treasury. The I2
focusing on the prime minister's cabinet
reshuffle as the chancellor's number two
moves to that new position in cabinet.
Telegraph also looks Rachel Reeves's
second in command, moving to a new role
in government, supporting the prime
minister, of course. Financial Times
says the prime minister's shakeup is
designed to arrest the slide in his
Meantime, I'd be safer in Somalia. That
is the headline on the front page of the
metro. Looking at Sky News's special
report, in fact, from None about asylum
hotel protests. The headline for the
Daily Mail, 3,567
government's one in, one out policy a
fiasco. A warning from reforms leader
Nigel Farage to the prime minister is on
The Daily Mirror carries calls from
health experts to get rid of vapes amid
fears they increase the risk of strokes.
And the sun looks ahead to the upcoming
are taking weight loss drugs. So, let's
bring Adam and Annabelle. I'm actually
going straight to the express. Um, I got
rid of Cameron and Mrs. May. Uh, this is
uh Nigel Farage uh suggesting I'd like
to remind Kisama that I'll get rid of
him too effectively. Adam,
>> well, the Express has got an exclusive
interview with Nigel Farage. Um and uh
they're very happy with what he's
saying. I mean this is quite an odd
thing to say. I would like to remind
Karma that I'll get rid of him too. I
mean Karma presumably is absolutely
aware uh of the threat from uh Nigel
Farage. You know he can read the opinion
polls as well as anybody else. But I
think almost what is significant about
this is that we've now got the two
middle market right of center tabloid
newspapers the male and uh the express
who basically seem to have gone over to
reform UK and Nigel Farage which is
extremely bad news uh for uh the
conservative party. I mean just sort of
on pole in this interview. Um, we also
get Nigel Farage saying that Kem Benot
will be gone by Christmas.
>> Is the Telegraph tempted?
>> I couldn't possibly say, but I Yes, I
think Adam, you know, made a good point
there about the Express and the Mail as
well. And, you know, Far has got a few
axes to grind in this interview, hasn't
he? He's saying he's left off the guest
list for the Windsor Castle dinner with
Donald Trump, saying that they wouldn't
invite him. And, you know, hey, we're
only 15 points ahead in the polls. Then
he's got this warning to K Starmmer that
if he goes on being rude to him then
then he Nigel Far will get rid of Star
just as he got rid of David Cameron and
of Theresa May. He does later
acknowledge that it's very difficult
being uh prime minister and you're
responsible for everybody else. But you
know you just will have to wonder how he
would adapt were he ever to make it into
number 10. How would he actually go from
being this very effective campaigner
outside the tent really until he finally
was successful in his primary?
>> This of course comes as he's heading off
to the United States to Washington uh
where he's going to run down the UK
saying that there's a real danger to
free speech. He's going to cite the case
of Lucy Connelly and he's also attacking
the online safety act. So, you know,
cuddly, smiley Nigel Farage, he, you
know, he is aligning himself
with, you know, JD Vance and and and
MAGA America as well.
>> Absolutely. Yeah. Fascinating. Watch all
of this, isn't it? In the meantime,
let's go to the front page of the
Guardian. Um, an Afghan carries the body
of an infant earthquake victim uh in
Nurgal, a powerful earthquake that hit
eastern Afghanistan. Um and I know the
uh you know the foreign office is
planning emergency funding but the
question is how much appetite is there
to fund and help the Taliban and you
know ever since the pull out of US and
indeed UK forces um magnitude 6
earthquake rocked several provinces
close to the Pakistan border around
midnight. Point being that everyone is
everyone's in bed and uh you know
there's no run to the street escape.
>> No no no opportunity to escape at all.
Uh they believe around 800 people have
been killed, two and a half thousand
injured, but you look at that image and
wonder how many more will be found
beneath the debris and and in that det
in in that destruction. And it isn't
just support for the Taliban, of course,
but it's the fact that we've run down
our foreign aid budget. Now, you know,
then you have to wonder who was going to
step in to provide the support at times
of humanitarian crises just like this.
uh when perhaps our resources are
stretched to do so because a lot of what
was the foreign aid budget now is going
towards housing asylum seekers in hotels
>> what remains of the foreign aid budget
>> houses what remains of it and houses in
in the UK but nevertheless it did that
was quite a bold move by Labor a few
months ago they decided they were going
to run down overseas aid in order that
they could divert more money towards
boosting our defense budget at a time
when the world is increasingly dangerous
>> also you know unique to Afghanistan
because of
the well frankly the anti-woman
discrimination by the Taliban aid
agencies are actually having problems
helping women that unless they can field
female people to deal with the women uh
the Taliban is is saying you know leave
the women alone don't don't help them so
it's a really horrible situation but
then it is a horrible situation in
Afghan in Afghanistan though
>> yeah Yeah. Um it was was it not all hail
the vape as a mechanism to stop people
smoking. Uh now the mirror is certainly
uh you know confronting this. Ban the
vapes is the front page and uh inside
calling it an EIG epidemic. There's the
front page then ban the vape. Scientists
warn of irreversible harm to young
people's brains and hearts. Experts fear
vapes increase the risk of disease is
the inside pages and uh ban plea as
younger user number saw. You know, I
know this is secondary school toilets is
the vape place now. Um I know you're
supportive of it, but is it time to
actually take a look what's genuinely in
these in these products and who's taking
them?
>> Well, I mean what I think is that we
need to treat vapes as a very important
form of harm reduction. So, youth
smoking is down from 28% to 14%.
um just in the last few years. So we are
seeing significant reduction in the
number of young people who are smoking
which we know is really terrible for
you. Nobody is suggesting that you
should take up vaping or that it doesn't
come with some detrimental effects to
your health. But I think we need to bear
in mind that it might be the lesser of a
number of evils. But also uh the
practical side of banning vapes because
they did this in Australia and it led to
a huge expansion of black market in then
they've done it with tobacco as well.
Tobacco and vapes and actually we've
seen teenage vaping rates increase as a
consequence of that that total black ban
in Australia. So you have to think of
what the perverse effects are even if
there's such legislation. Does it have
to be shiny, bright colors and
attractive flavors is the point.
>> But also, you need to bear in mind it is
illegal to sell vapes to people who are
underage. So, what perhaps we need to be
doing is enforcing the laws that we
already have rather than bringing in new
ones and really clamping down on those
stores, those vendors who are also
supposed to sell disposable ones. But I
I mean I slightly disagree with you in
the sense that
>> the kernel of this story is this uh
professor bringing together the research
onto the impact of vapes and saying they
have really serious impacts on people's
health and she presented this evidence
>> at a conference of cardiologists in
Madrid and
>> saying there are 133 potentially harmful
chemicals in ecigarettes of which 107
are carcinogens.
>> Exactly. So, and bearing in mind that
the government's plan is to gradually
raise the age at which you can buy
cigarettes altogether,
the logic, if people stop smoking
cigarettes, the logic of saying, well,
these are not as bad as cigarettes, that
will go as well. And then a ban would
presumably make sense.
>> Uh, to the Telegraph now, Annabelle. Um,
another nail in the coffin for office
romances. Uh the problem is if you're
top of the tree, don't pick someone
below you effectively, isn't it? This is
the uh the Nestle boss. Yes, that's
right. uh its chief executive has been
sacked with immediate effect after it
emerged that he had had a trrist with a
junior colleague and I think really in
the aftermath of uh the me too movement
um companies and our societies are
extremely sensitive to the idea that
there might be people who are in a
position of power in an organization who
are then striking up relationships with
those at a more junior level and you
know what are the sort of ethics of that
situation. But um it seems like Nestle
have been unequivocal here um and
immediately dismissing Lex.
>> I mean he's not the first and he won't
be the last. We had the head of
McDonald's who had to go for having a
relationship. We had uh the head of BP
who who had to step down and then of
course there was the uh person who was
caught on that camera at the uh
>> COP cop. He he also had to go. So um and
>> she resigned as well. Yeah, she was
like,
>> I mean, the message is to,
>> you know, when it comes to your
colleagues, keep it in your trousers.
>> Okay, that's it.
>> Uh, fat jabs strictly speculation about
who's having them. Five stars are taking
the drug ahead of the new series. That's
right. And they're worried that because
obviously we don't know. Well, we
presume
>> we presume, but they're worried that
this weight loss measure obviously means
that you significantly decrease your
calorie intake, but strictly is very
demanding physically. And will these
contestants have the energy required to
train and then perform every
>> before and after photos um of of
contestants to see who who we're talking
about. I'm sure.
>> I mean, one can see the temptation
though, can't you? If you're going to be
>> Yeah. on screen in revealing out
>> in Lyra effectively or not quite Lyra.
Spangles I think it is, isn't it? Yeah.
Let's go to the Times. Another health
story in fact. Um half of stroke
patients could now fully recover after
the NHS introduced revolutionary new
software which allows patients to get a
diagnosis up to one hour faster than
traditional methods. We know with stroke
speed is of the essence, isn't it? Uh so
this AI assisted tool can interpret
brain scans um much faster which sounds
great news if people can get access to
it.
>> It is very good news and and it's also
worth bearing in mind that compared to
equivalent countries uh the UK has had a
bad record on on strokes and recovery
from strokes for a very long time. So
anything that's going to make it better
would be good. No, it's one of the big
killers and I think this is a reminder
that we're very much in the foothills of
what AI can achieve and obviously there
are risks associated with this new
technology but actually there's enormous
potential there as well
>> and of course there's a lot of
speculation as to whether or not Donald
Trump has had a stroke.
>> Adam, are you allowed to say that?
>> Well, it's it's all over the internet.
It's not being reported uh by mainstream
media in America in the same way that uh
problems about Biden perhaps weren't
reported. But the reality is Donald
Trump has not been heard from for
getting on for a week now. There have
only been pictures of him. And there's
quite a lot of circumstantial evidence,
uh his appearance, bruises on the back
of his hands, a drooping eye, and the
fact that, you know, someone said, you
know, when has Donald Trump ever not
said anything for a full week? I mean,
it's and and and there seems to be a
change of style in some of his uh social
media posts. So, you know, one of the
stories that's developing could well be
that Donald Trump, who remember was
actually older on inauguration day this
time than Joe Biden was on his
inauguration day, may have very serious
medical problems. But uh
>> but it wasn't until Biden decided
finally that he would step aside and
Camela became the Democratic candidate
that you suddenly became aware that
Donald Trump was a man who was in his
late 70s and whilst he may have looked
spritly alongside Joe Biden who did have
deteriorating health.
>> No evidence of that. And all down here
Trump has done this, Trump has done
this, Trump has done this, you know, on
the uh on the wire service that we use.
So we'll we'll uh you know see you might
just be having a holiday. We'll see. Um,

Right.
>> Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank was all smiles
with his teammates today, but his future
still seems somewhat uncertain.
>> Honest, I'm just sick and tired of this.
>> The number that was put before me was
50% more than our highest paid player at
the time.
>> Y had the feeling, do they really want
me here? My determination was not to
sell Jimmy to that particular club.
>> It made me look bad in front of the the
fans was not necessary.
>> The biggest single challenge is how we
managed his exit publicly, which
probably Jimmy didn't like very much.
>> He's settling into his new surrounds.
The player renamed Judas Floyd Money in
the Bank when he was trumped out of
Ellen Road.
>> Don't believe the figures at all. Don't
believe the figures at all.

nothing about money from his agent.
Well, Jesus, lads. Honestly,

Another day, another summer signing. the
delightfully named Gerald Floyd
Hasselbang from Boa Vista. Jimmy to his
pals.
>> Have you heard about people like Billy
Brenner and Norman Hunter and things
like that?
>> No. No. No.
>> You never heard of them?
>> No.
>> You'll find out about them?
>> Yeah, I will find out. But but I never
heard of him. No.
>> Now they tell me you put Jimmy. They
call you Jimmy and that's it. Is that
right?
>> Yes. They call me Jimmy in Portugal and
that's it. I think in the beginning of
the season I'm going to learn about the
English football, but I want to make the
best of it and score so much goals as
possible. We finished up second top goal
scorer in in Portugal. So he looks as if
he's he's a finisher which we obviously
we were lacking goals last season.
>> We'd been out to look at Bruno Rivero.
We signed Bruno River and Jimmy Floyd
Hasselbach. He was £2 million and he was
an unknown and you think to yourself,
you know, is that money well spent?
Nobody had heard of him.
>> George Graham said to me, we got to go
down to Lisbon on the Sunday because we
were going to watch this player. The
player was Jimmy Hasselbank. I remember
seeing him in a a very rundown
lowkey stadium. You knew straight away,
you know, there's something there. And I
remember looking at the back of a bus. I
was looking going, who's who who are
they to? Cuz it said the new attack line
for, you know, they said the men in
white, you know, and they said, "Who are
they?" And I remember looking and it was
a picture of me and Jimmy on on on the
thing. I was like, "Oh my god." He took
a while to adjust, but everyone saw he
had one thing on his mind, and that was
to score goals.
>> Sky Business sponsors this report.
>> Well, thank you for that. Let's take a
look at the weather now. So, rather
unsettled this week with blustery
showers or more prolonged heavy rain,
but it is looking drier on Friday. So,
mostly fine if cool start tomorrow.
There will be showers near southern and
western coasts and more general rain
moving into the southwest. Showers will
develop widely again through the
morning. Sunny spells between, but
southern Britain will see more general
heavy and possibly thundery rain
spreading from the southwestern parts.
Southwestern parts will see the rain
giving way to sunny spells and a
scattering of showers later.
