Spain, dominating the Telegraph front page. Foreign doctors might | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
lack the necessary skills to work on the NHS. The Queen with her Easter | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
bouquet features on the Daily Express. The Daily Mail reports on | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
the cost of a legal battle involving an NHS cardiologist who was sacked | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
after whistleblowing. The front page of the mirror is dedicated to a | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
story about a baby who was reinfected by meningitis from the | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
family cat. `` infected. The skill levels of doctors trained outside | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
the EU in the times. The independent front page has a tribute to Gabriel | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Garcia Marquez. He died at aged 87. The Guardian reports on the | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
acquisition of the Labour Party over Obama 's adviser, table Arsenal | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
roared, for the UK election battle. That's where we start. Miliband | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
steps up his right hand man for election. Will Miliband say, yes we | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
can? It is a shot in the arm for Ed Miliband. They have been looking for | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
good news. Their economic strategy came under pressure. This is as good | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
news as you could get. David Axelrod was the campaign face of the Obama | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
campaign. He was one of two figureheads who took Obama from the | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
kitchen table to the White House. The fact he is joining team Miliband | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
is impressive. We have a Chicago streetfighter who will faceoff and | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Australian strategist. It is down and dirty. All three parties have | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
foreign election strategists. It is good news. I wonder how many days | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
between now and the election, David Axelrod will actually be inside the | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Labour HQ. He is predominantly an America based. What will he do? His | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
role in the last Obama campaign was to focus on Obama's opponent and | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
ensure people understood how privileged, wealthy and not one of | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
us he was as an opponent. You will see a lot of that in the way he | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
steers the Labour campaign. Ronnie, you are from southside Chicago and | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
you know this guy. Absolutely. What will he bring to the campaign? `` | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
Bonnie. Trust me, Axe wouldn't get involved unless he could win this. | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
He wouldn't put his name to this if he didn't know. To add to what Sam | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
said, what he saw in Obama was what I call, the edge. He saw it. He saw | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
a shift in the Democratic party. My generation, the baby boomers, were | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
running the party. We assumed it would be Hillary Clinton in the | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
bag. What's the deal? Suddenly, this guy from Illinois, with a weird last | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
name, who Axe helped to get here from Illinois, said no, there is a | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
change. What he focuses on, not only what he did against Mitt Romney is, | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
he is a genius at understanding the ethos of the people. He understands | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
in the US, for instance, America is about freedom, our quality, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
opportunity, that's it. Every American dream is about it. If you | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
don't deliver that, then you are out. What he sees here, my | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
perception of Britain, being here so many years, is that the British | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
perceive themselves as fair. At the end of the day, most British people | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
want fairness. Everyone interprets that how they want, but it is about | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
being fair, just fair. I would assume, maybe Axelrod will look at | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
that very deeply. He is talking about inequality. He is going to be | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
talking about that so that is important. Sam, why does it take a | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
bunch of foreigners to tell us how we are supposed to, I don't know, | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
react, feel, deal with life at the moment? As with business hiring | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
outside consultants, it helps. Before Axelrod's arrival, team | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Miliband have been looking at the way Obama won the second of the two | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
residential races. In fact, Obama was behind on economic competence | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
and behind on who was trusted to manage growth in relation to | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
business. What he was in front on was understanding people 's pain, | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
understanding the squeeze, understanding cost of living issues. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
The temp late has been laid on top of the Labour campaign. `` temp | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
late. We have Axelrod like we are just adding to the man now. The | :05:53. | :06:02. | |
Tories picked up Jim Messina who also worked for President Obama. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
There is no doubt that Axelrod is the senior. That moustache is known | :06:07. | :06:21. | |
in America. And he has the thing I want `` and he has got it back, | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
because he took it off. He will shake this campaign. He knows | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
something has shifted. That is what he discovered in Obama. That is what | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
will happen here. Very interesting. Bonnie, the Times, Geneva deal pulls | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
Ukraine back from the brink. Is it all over now? It depends on how far | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
Putin wants to go, what he wants to accomplish. What he says he wants to | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
do, what he wants to do, are of course two different things. He has | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
had to put himself on the frontline of politics. He has gone on record, | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
ago, saying the collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst thing | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
that ever happened. V Putin owes a of politics in Europe and in | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
relation to the U S is how this man is making his mark `` the | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
Putinisation. It is appalling that we don't have a dialogue about his | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
central premise, which is that he has the right to invade a sovereign | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
country to aid its language speakers. This, frankly, was one of | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
Hitler's arguments. It's much more complicated than that. That is one | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
of Hitler's statements, that German speakers in that part of Poland... | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
(CROSSTALK) he said today it was his right to go in there if Russian | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
speakers are being threatened. The important thing about the deal today | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
is to look at what sides have got out of it. It has a below the | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
surface mini break up of national structure of Ukraine, whereas, so | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
the west's negotiating card in all of this is relatively weak `` West. | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
We have seen businesses in Europe, like BP, lobbying to ensure that | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
sanctions against Russia weren't dramatic. If you impose all our | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
sanctions you won't have anyone writing cheques from Moscow to | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
London. They would. We aren't in a position of desperate strength. You | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
talk about Hitler, you talk about interrogating Putin's main aim, I | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
don't think that is realistic at that point when we have little cards | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
on our favour. Obama said that military options were off the table. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
He has to say that. Europe is an plain`ball. We saw today that there | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
aren't many cards in our favour `` playing ball. You need an | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
unattractive deescalation. You are saying that the West, need to back | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
down? And saying the West didn't get a lot out of today and Putin can be | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
satisfied there is no attempt to take any of this back. Nothing has | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
put him back in his box and he has stored sanctions and seen a little | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
bit more of a breakup of Ukraine. There are issues on the table. We | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
can talk about the real politic. You are talking about that. It is | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
rational. There is something deeper that we are not discussing. That | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
is, the idea of the West. What does it do? If the EU cannot in spite of | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
the fact that Gazprom pumps the gas into Europe, if the EU cannot stay | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
with the principles of Europe, if the UN cannot do that, if the US | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
cannot do that, that is the problem. We know the money that is beneath | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
this. Someone needs to talk about this issue of sovereign nations | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
being invaded by another nation. You mention the word is realpolitik and | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
the matter is, if the Germans are getting their gas from Russia, what | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
will you do? My point is, let's talk about it. Not as though there is | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
anything else to talk about. I thought they were talking about it. | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
I thought they would be a move because of the fracking revolution | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
in America to ship more of that stuff, their gas, over two, and try | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
and change the geopolitical situation. Try to shift the | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
dynamic. A third can be moved by 2020. It's not overnight. That's | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
part of the discussion I'm saying it's not the only question. We are | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
acting as though it is. There is an idea of the West. There is an idea | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
about the US. What the President should be doing, which he is in an | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
ish way, is to state the idea. You know what the response to that is? | :11:31. | :11:40. | |
Libya, Syria, Iraq. You guys do it, we will do it. We need to talk about | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
it. You are absolutely right. A discussion for both sides, | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
potentially. Interesting story. Your paper, the Times, has done it, | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
safety fears over doctors who trained outside the EU, you have on | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
the front page. Whereas, the Telegraph says foreign doctors, just | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
generally, foreign doctors lack skills for the NHS. The suggestion | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
is that following a study from University College London that | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
foreign doctors are allowed to work in the NHS here aren't given the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
same stringent testing that British doctors need to reach before | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
practising. It's an academic study published in the British medical | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
Journal, one of the most well`regarded medical journals. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
There is huge political pressure to ensure there are no gaps in the NHS | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
`` British Medical Journal. What do we do? We go outside. People have | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
tactical and emotional responses to that. It makes some uncomfortable | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
and some nervous. Others treat it in a perfectly grown`up manner. Here, | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
we seem to have a study which suggests that there are issues | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
around the number of doctors that go to disciplinary hearings from | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
overseas. It basically says foreign doctors wouldn't pass the English | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
exam, which I think would concern a lot of people. Is that it, language? | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
The richest test? Lee the English exam. From the extracts, I'm not | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
clear what they would be. Is this according to the Times? If you are a | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
foreign doctor, a French or Spanish or German doctor, it's all OK? The | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
Times is right and the Telegraph is wrong, obviously. In the Times, and | :13:37. | :13:49. | |
the Times says? I'm trying to get the motivation of the story. We have | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
to duty newspapers suggesting two very different things. That is my | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
point. The Telegraph is just foreign doctors, anyone perhaps whose | :13:58. | :14:09. | |
English `` who is not English. Once you say outside the EU, you think | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
about African doctors and so on, and race starts coming in. The point is, | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
the point we make clear in our story, the study is about the exam | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
sat by doctors who come from outside the EU, and they are comparing that | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
exam for people coming from outside the EU with the domestic exam. The | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
Times is accurate in this. So the test for a French doctor is the same | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
for it is in the UK. I'm not sure. for it is in the UK. I'm not sure. | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
That is crucial. That is important. The doctor who got into trouble a | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
few years ago was a German speaker. The question is, what are they | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
talking about? Is it language? Why are you so special? What happens in | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
the EU which is huge and French doctors are not trained to the same | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
as reduced doctors. No foreign doctor would be. What are they | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
talking about? Also, if it is clear, from greater appearances | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
before the General medical Council because problems foreign doctors | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
have issues, why is this study coming out now? That was my other | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
question. We have discussed this lot. It has all gone over my head | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
completely story. I think it is time to talk about things about which we | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
know, not nothing. Onto the Independent and Bonnie, Gabriel | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
Garcia Marquez, a literary giant, dies at 87, after being sick for a | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
long time. Nobel laureate. People compare him to 70s. `` Cervantes. He | :15:50. | :16:02. | |
invented magic realism, which has been bastardised. Can I say that? | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
You can say what you like. Tony will be all right about that. When magic | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
realism, which he brought into the world, it was about subtlety and | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
leaving things out. This man to the Spanish`language is the same thing | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
that Shakespeare is to ours, he invented Spanish again. He was our | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
mighty intellect. He is what the French call, on the left. He is | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
against US foreign policy. He wasn't afraid to say you can be an artist | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
and you can be engaged. He was a genius and he won the Nobel Prize | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
for literature, our IP. We ended there. Thank you. `` RIP. Stay with | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
us on BBC News. At the top of the Allah, we have more of the talks in | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
Geneva aimed at reducing the crisis in eastern Ukraine. `` hour. Now, it | :17:08. | :17:24. | |
