And we will look ahead to the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics following | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the golden year in addition athletic. That is in the Mode to Rio | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
with me, Nick Hope -- Road to Rio. Hello and welcome to | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
our look ahead to what the papers With me are Michael Booker, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
of the Express, and financial Nice to have you both here, giving | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
up your festive Sunday night. The Guardian says the failure | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
of flood defences has cast doubt on the UK's readiness for what it | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
calls a "new weather era" and features an image of elderly | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
flood victims being rescued from The i says the floods in northern | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
England have turned the streets into canals, beneath a similar | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
picture of a York flood rescue. The Times also leads on | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the flooding and says David Cameron has put 1,000 troops on alert to | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
deal with the impact of heavy rain. The Mail includes | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
an aerial picture of the flood damage and asks why Britain is | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
donating money to overseas flood prevention schemes while parts | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
of the UK are under water. The Telegraph focuses on the NHS | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
and research which says that Britain relies more | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
heavily on foreign doctors than any Tomorrow's Express says there will | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
be no let up in the severe weather and warns that the storm chaos | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
could last until the New Year. The Telegraph focuses on the NHS | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
and research which says that Britain relies more | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
heavily on foreign doctors than any Tomorrow's Express says there will | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
be no let up in the severe weather and warns that the storm chaos | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
could last until the New Year. The Mirror reports that more than | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
500 prisoners, including a murderer, The Financial Times includes an | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
image of the floods and estimates that they have already cost ?1.5 | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
billion, but leads on a story about Which we will park somewhere on dry | :01:39. | :01:57. | |
land. LAUGHS. Let's start with the floods, of | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
course. Poor people in the north of England. The Times - and parts of | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
Scotland - gripped the cities with more rain forecast, and David | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Cameron sense troops to help families. The troops can keep people | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
safe, I suppose a. The front page, the people from the emergency | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
services -- I suppose. Not much they can do but help people out and keep | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
them safe, until the floodwaters go away, which won't happen for a | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
while, with more rain forecast and storms on the way in the next couple | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
of days. The river whose is not at its height until sometime tomorrow. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
-- Ouse. This knock-on effect for a long time, even though tomorrow will | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
be a fine day. What can the troops do? It is there to reassure people. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
We have these COBRA meetings, to show the Prime Minister doing | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
something. They are reviewing flood defence spending as well. That will | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
do a lot of good for those who are flooded out at the moment! They are | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
doing what they can, I suppose. If you look, the Times quotes ?2.3 | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
billion that will be spent on projects over the next six years. As | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
we know, there have been calls for that to be increased, and that is | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
currently under review. That is one of those. I like the front of the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
page on the Times. The other papers have gone with the same photo. This | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
is a different photo of a girl in her onesie clutching her dog. That | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
is another thing that has come out of these reports. The water level | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
rose so quickly that people were taken unawares and literally were | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
scrabbling out of buildings or homes or hotels... There was a picture of | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
a guy in a Land Rover who looked like he was caught in shock. A | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
number of people said that it rose so quickly that they were taken | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
unawares. They had no food or clothing. They just left their homes | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
because the water was rising so quickly. The Mail, the extraordinary | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
picture on the front, swamped as we sent ?1 billion in aid to the most | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
corrupt nations of the world. This is a picture of York. According to | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
the article, it is drowning in a tidal filthy floodwater. This is not | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
clean water. This has all sorts in it. It will take months for people | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
to clean their houses. And at the same time, you can understand, | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
someone is quoted in Rochdale as saying that we spend all this money | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
on foreign aid, billions of pounds each year, a lot of it going on | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
flood schemes in Serbia, corrupt nations as well. You can understand | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
why people will say that. They can see this money going over there and | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
they can see that it could be going in here making flood defences | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
better. You can understand why people are saying that. Money is | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
limited, that is the point. It was an anonymous resident. The quote | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
was, our taxes could be used on those who earned the money. It is | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
kind of the point. What I would say about EU money, you know, the | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
foreign aid budget goes on antiflood schemes. If it is that money, we | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
cannot control where it goes. It could go to all kinds of places we | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
don't control. The foreign aid budget, 12 billion per year on | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
overseas aid. 1 billion to the 20 most corrupt nations. The way that | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
newspapers and readers are, the Daily Mail will use this to talk | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
about foreign aid because they know that their readers don't like it. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
The Guardian twisted to climate change. They know that their readers | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
are interested in that. That is how the papers work. It is not the first | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
time the Daily Mail has made this link between flood defence spending | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
and overseas aid. It has been made before. The Express have a lot of | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
the same readers as the Daily Mail. In the letters, it is always, why is | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
money being spent on foreign aid when it could be spent here? That is | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
what people believe. We have a commitment to foreign aid. You can | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
criticise whatever it is spent on. The Independent, the drowning of the | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
north of England, misery for Manchester, Leeds and York. And | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
beyond. These are cities that haven't seen floating like this | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
before. I like the photo. If you see the houses, they are up under | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
unbelievable levels of water, halfway up to the front door. This | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
is why they have chosen the photo. One family have put up a Christmas | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
star and one have put up a Christmas wreath. What do we do at Christmas? | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Make our houses look beautiful. We did that for our mother's room. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
People buy carpet and furniture because they want their homes to be | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
nice. Nice and comfy. Look at the right hand side window. They don't | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
want them to get all wet. It is a poignant photo. At a time when | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
people want to be in their lovely homes, they are being trashed with | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
sewage and... Just horrible. The Telegraph, flood hit areas clean up | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
before the next deluge. You must wonder whether it is worth it? In | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Cumbria, cameras were returning to the same places every couple of days | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
when people thought the worst was over and then it would come back. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
There is a relatively nice picture on the front of the Telegraph, with | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
kids helping out. It has united quite a lot of places in these | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
terrible times. It just looks as though they will have to keep doing | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
it. What choice do they have? Some places in Cumbria have flooded three | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
times. The papers, and the Express... (CROSSTALK). The mud in | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
the street, that is in everyone's houses. They are picking up on the | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
same line, the Environment Agency has warned, as with the Met Office, | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
more rain is to come. And it will be worse in the days to come. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Especially Tuesday and Wednesday. And a new era in the weather. The | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Telegraph, another story, the NHS has the most foreign doctors in the | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
EU. How many do we have and white? More than a third of NHS doctors, | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
35%, come from abroad -- why? We are ahead of every country in the EU | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
other than Luxembourg, and three times that of Germany. The UK is | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
most dependent on foreign nurses as well. And we are a massive... At the | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
same time, we are exporting doctors. A lot of doctors train here, and I | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
think it is costing the taxpayer ?250,000 apiece. Fair enough, they | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
can go abroad. Stories like this try to make them guilty about it. We | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
have heard about the stress they are under in the NHS. You wonder why, if | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
you have the choice, should we go abroad to Australia? You wonder why | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
foreign doctors come here if it is so lousy. I think the numbers are | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
startling. 35 -40% of doctors born overseas. 5% in Italy, 19% in France | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
and 10% in Germany. People come here because it is a great place to live. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Why else would they come here? The increase is quite substantial as | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
well. If you look at the nurses, 29% of nurses born abroad, but only ten | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
years ago the figure was 15%. So, we are increasing the reliance on | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
overseas doctors and nurses in order for the health service to continue. | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
Why is it a problem? It is pointed out... (CROSSTALK). The researchers | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
have found hospitals with higher numbers of nursing and Doctor staff | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
has the highest level of dissatisfaction and rating. They | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
have put that there with these figures and the member of the | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Patient Association says it could jeopardise care. Until June this | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
year it wasn't legal for regulators to test the language skills of | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
doctors if they came from within the European economic area. The law was | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
only changed after we had the Nigerian GP who worked in Germany | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
and killed a British pensioner by giving him a massive dose of | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
painkillers. Only until June this year you did not have to test | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
language skills. Being a doctor or a nurse, communication is essential. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
That is rather worrying. Thankfully the law has changed. The Financial | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Times. London grows as Labour's heartland under Jeremy Corbyn, who | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
is picking up young voters in the capital. They are all bearded | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
hipsters in the capital! Were you once a bearded hipster?! Never! I | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
can see you as one. Attracting ten times as many members in the | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
capital, as in Scotland, the heartland, deriving 20% of the | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
membership from London. It is young and trendy, possibly bearded, | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
possibly men and women, lefties... The only place Labour did well was | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
in London. And also, I think, you know, free-market capitalism has | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
failed in London housing policy. And many young people look at London and | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
say that there is no chance they will ever owned their own house in | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
London. Or even a flat or anything in London. And the rent is taking | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
90% of salaries. The failure of London's housing policy is what is | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
driving many young people towards Jeremy Corbyn. They need the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
heartland, they need the north, in order to pay attention. Labour's | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
heartland. With or without beards. The FT, the chocolate that doesn't | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
melt when the mercury rises. Why do we need this? Emerging markets, warm | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
countries without refrigerated lorries and air-conditioned shops. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
They need heat resistant chocolate because then of course they can | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
expand the market and sell it to these hot places and get them to eat | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
far too much talk as well. That is why it is the holy grail of the | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
industry. There is a race between Barry, a Swiss chocolate here, and | :12:58. | :13:11. | |
Nestle -- Chocolatier. And Barry's spectacularly named a spokesman says | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
it fundamentally changes the game. Although I suspect he says it much | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
more nicely. However, the US chocolate maker Hershey, gave it to | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
American soldiers in the Second World War. They have done it for | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
many years. I would argue that chocolate is quite foul. He/she goes | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
again! -- here it she goes again. Leave her them alone. Coming up | :13:40. | :13:55. | |
next, in a moment Nick Hope resents the Road to Rio. But first, I've got | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
to thank Michael and Louise. I have done that already. So, I will just | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
say goodbye. -- presents. Rio gold traditionally comes | :14:03. | :14:16. | |
in the form of sand, but that will change in the summer | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
of 2016, with the Brazilian city | :14:21. | :14:24. |
