02/06/2014 The Papers

returns on the World Cup. And Andy Murray is into the quarterfinals of

the French open after a straight sets win over Fernando Verdasco.

Hello, welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us

tomorrow. With me, Sarah O'Connor, the economics correspondent for The

Financial Times, and Oliver Wright, the Whitehall editor at The

Independent. We are going to start with The Independent. It says a

judge's decision to block the deportation of a man from Somalia is

being seen as a test case for thousands of asylum seekers. The

macro is leading on computer hacking and the warning that people need to

act quickly to protect themselves. The Express reports on the latest on

the Madeline McCann case. The Times says that David Cameron has been

told to rip up his European policy. The Sun has a weighty subject,

Britain apparently enjoying a sumo baby`boom. I don't know if we will

get to that story tonight! Maybe we will, maybe we won't. The Telegraph,

Kurt help to buy and end the property boom, says Brussels. Can

they tell us to do that? They can suggest it! This will go down like a

lead balloon at the Treasury. The European Commission is the latest of

a whole string of economists and organisations to complain that help

to buy, this system of mortgage guarantees for people with small

deposits, that it is fuelling demand without fuelling supply and

therefore pushing prices up. Frankly, I don't think that the

Treasury is going to pay eight blind bit of notice. They think it is

politically successful and popular and they will keep on with it. I

have some sympathy with them, we had data last week on the impact of help

to buy and it showed that 1.3% of transactions have actually used help

to buy. I think, actually, it isn't really driving the property boom.

Clearly, something is going on, but it is going on in London and the

south`east. Help to buy is being used in Scotland and the south`west.

We have two property markets, one in London, where it is a huge boom, and

elsewhere, where it is modest, to say the least. What Brussels should

be telling us, if they are allowed to tell us anything, is, stop

foreign buyers putting up property prices and having ghost houses, and

Mr Cameron should be building more houses? That is what they should be

saying. They also appear to be nice to the Lib Dems. A mansion tax,

well, they don't describe it as a mansion tax, but they say one way of

dealing with high property prices is to increase taxes at the top end. A

mansion tax in all but name. Well, this Government are really going to

listen to that(!) The Government has put out a response, figures last

week show that help to buy has helped thousands of first`time

buyers on steady incomes finally realise the dream of home ownership.

It is an aspirational policy that will remain a key part of our

plans. Basically, they are sticking two fingers up? It sounds rather

moderate, I suspect George Osborne will say something more punchy in

private. Like, shut up! Let's go to the business section of The

Telegraph. AstraZeneca, British company, the American company,

Pfizer, they wanted to take it over. The price was too low, according to

AstraZeneca. Roll out a view cancer drugs, it might put the price up? On

the one hand, it is saying to patients, look, you could get Italy

access to these treatments, which are very promising. These are

patients, possibly, without a lot of other options. That is a good

thing. The fact it is on the business pages rather than the home

possibly more about the share prices possibly more about the share prices

than patients. You cynic! They are not going to give these drugs for

free. The NHS pays for these drugs. AstraZeneca certainly hopes the

success of them will increase the share price. If they can get the

drugs out there earlier, the more chance they have of raising the

share price up to a sort of level which Pfizer were offering, part of

the raison d'etre for turning them down. I guess that Pfizer, although

it has gone away for the time being, is still a threat. They could come

back in six months, you have got this kind of announcement, hopefully

publicity about other drugs and whatever going out there. Pfizer

might feel it is worth putting up the price? They might! Sceptical? I

think you are being a bit too cynical. On the papers? Being

cynical? No! I didn't realise that we in the UK are launching this

thing of trying to fast`track drugs through the testing process and

trying to get them to patients much quicker. This will be the first test

of whether it is going to work the way people think it will. Actually,

if you had a relative in need of drugs, it would be quite

interesting. Absolutely, a good news story in that sense. Just to go back

to what we were saying, it seems interesting that this is happening

now. These cancer drugs are the very ones that it has been... It was

talking about, sure. Staying with drugs, a story that you have been

involved with, private contractor blamed for NHS drug delays? This is

a story I have been working with the bureau of investigative journalism

with. It is a story about Help At Home. Most people will not have

heard of it. People with serious conditions who cannot go out and see

their doctor, they get their medicines delivered. It has been

used quite a lot for cancer, painkillers, haemophilia, etc. This

company appear to have had some pretty serious IT issues. All of

this stuff is now automated to such an extent, the GP put in a

description, it goes to one place, eventually ends up with somebody

knocking you on the door and giving you the drugs. It appears to have

gone down over the last few months, affecting thousands of patients. You

have a specific example? I was looking today at the NHS Choices

website, where people can rate various services. If I was Health

Care At Home, it does not make pretty reading. These are real

people that are relying on these drugs. It's quite hard to go to the

doctor and get a new prescription, they want to know what happened to

the original drug. The tendency is, you stick around and hope it will

come tomorrow. People have been phoning helpline and haven't been

able to get through. To be fair to the company, they are being very

apologetic. They say they will spend whatever it takes to get this right,

they realise there is a problem. It's not much consolation to

patients. It seems like there is a back`up plan for the NHS in this

situation? You would think there would be. Something that is clearly

extremely important for patients that are using it, when we do

contract out to the private sector, you would hope there would be some

sort of contingency plan. It's not the first time a Private Company has

let the public sector down. That said, it is tempting to say, well,

outsourcing is a bad idea. But, frankly, the NHS doesn't have a

great IT record itself. It is blaming its logistics supply, it is

their IT problems on this. One thing he mentioned, one woman was forced

to call after two deliveries failed to arrive for her ten`year`old son

who suffers from multiple sclerosis. Another woman who suffers from

severe Crohn's disease was on hold for 45 minutes, complaining about

them failing to deliver. I think some people were waiting even longer

than that. Staying with The Independent, Judge prevents May

sending asylum seeker back to lawless Somalia? They say that

Theresa May has been accused of acting unlawfully by forcing failed

Somalian asylum seekers back to Mogadishu. I'm not entirely sure

where this word unlawfully comes from. The story is basically saying

that a judge has ordered an injunction on behalf of a

23`year`old Somali man. He is referring a decision to send him

back to the other tribunal. That will be a test of whether the

Government is right to say this is a safe place to send people. It will

be immensely important for all of the other Somalis waiting in the

same situation. I guess it is another one of those battles over

the Human Rights Act and what is deemed to be safe, deemed to be

acceptable. Who gets to decide? The Government would say one thing,

lawyers acting for the individual concerned would say another. It's

difficult for courts to judge because they change. You can say

today that Mogadishu is safe, in a couple of months it is not a stable

place. What is it going to be? You are sending them back permanently.

Are you judging that on, well, it is safe on Tuesday. We consider it will

be safe in the next six months. What rights do these people have? A

difficult situation. There is a functioning government, but it only

seems to have a writ for the capital, perhaps that is where the

Home Office feels it can come up with this decision, but the rest of

the country is out of the question. That is interesting, keep an eye on

that one. Finally, the Metro, two weeks to save your computers,

apparently a bug that could get your personal details. We have all got

two weeks to clean up our computers. This could be written another way.

The NCA and the FBI have said they have shut down the servers but they

can only do it for two weeks, which doesn't fill you with confidence,

particularly. In the meantime, they are saying, look, they are using it

as an advantage for buying anti`virus software. But, yeah, what

they have done is isolated this virus, and they have controlled it,

but they reckon that in two weeks, the criminals will have worked out a

way to get back in and could get your data. It says what it says, and

the gang, or the group of gangs are meant to be based in Russia and

Eastern Europe, and their ringleader, Evgeniy Bogachev, he

sounds like a kind of James Bond villain! Master spy! The FBI have

put out a most wanted poster for him, I didn't realise they still did

that. Clearly, these gangs are one step ahead of the crime agencies.

That is the problem, isn't it? Are you going to clean up your

computers? Mine is very clean. I was always told Apple was not affected,

but they probably are! I have got an Apple, is there a risk? Don't know!

It sounds implausible to me. Finally, we going to look at the

Express, yeah, basically the latest on the situation of Madeleine

McCann, British police involved in this search in this particular area

of Praia da Luz. Yeah, it must be just such a worrying, difficult time

for my blunder can's parents. I was reading today a feature on the BBC

website, talking to people in the local area. `` Madeleine McCann. The

mayor was saying, couldn't they have waited until after the tourist

season? You just think, pole come on, there are more important things

to worry about, surely. It seems to be concretely they are following up.

You will be back in an hour's time, many thanks for that. Stay with us

at BBC News, much more at the top of the hour on all the latest

developments on all the stories. Now it is time for Sportsday.

Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm Hugh Ferris.
