Leeds and Middlesbrough and we will bring you the controversy involving | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Welsh Open. That, after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me tonight our guests are the education editor | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
for the Sunday Times Sian Griffiths and Kiran Stacey, who's | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Let's have a look at some of the front pages. | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
The Financial Times claims there could be a showdown | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
in parliament between Eurosceptic ministers and David Cameron, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
NHS funding is the Independent's main story, as a whistleblower | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
claims hospitals are under pressure to underplay the scale | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The Telegraph quotes new figures, which suggest there's been | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
the biggest rise in annual death rates in England and Wales | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
The wreckage of a hospital in Syria, which was hit with an airstrike, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
is pictured on the front of the Metro. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
The Guardian carries comments from a leaked report | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
from the Department of Health, which claims a 7 day a week NHS may | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Immune cell therapy could be used to help cure cancer, | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
according to research quoted in the Times. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
And back to the EU with the Express, saying any negotiations by the | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
pro-minister could be changed after the referendum by MEPs. | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
That is our top story, Cameron's EU deal is a con. Are we being sold a | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
dud? That is what the express is suggesting and the Telegraph is also | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
leading on the EU deal. It will be a really interesting week. David | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Cameron on Thursday is hoping to secure this new deal in Brussels. If | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
he gets that on Thursday, he will then go and take it to the Cabinet | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
on Friday and try to sell the deal. I think there is a last-minute | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
battle going on, with Poland in particular, over these child benefit | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
payments to migrant workers. Cameron wants to link that benefit to the | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
cost of living in their home countries. They want to keep it as | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
the cost of the benefit in Britain. I think this whole idea that it | :02:18. | :02:30. | |
might be a : con, of course they could decide to have another | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
referendum or reverse it, if we decide to come out of the EU and | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
maybe Labour gets in next time round. I don't see why Labour | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
couldn't have another referendum on the whole thing could be reversed | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
and we might go back in. Apart from that, of course, MEPs also have to | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
vote, so even if... They could just reversed it all. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
What's interesting is the debate, it seems to be revolving around, as far | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
as the renegotiations are concerned, migrants and the migrant question. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Yet David Cameron is in France today and it is all about financial reform | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
and the French being worried that apparently the British are going to | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
get a better deal because they are outside the euro zone. David Cameron | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
has to face two directions, a message for the British public who | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
will vote on this one way or another, and I think that will be | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
tendered around migration. That is what the Conservatives feel is the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
most important issue on people's minds when they think of the EU. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
There are other things they want to achieve, whether on financial | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
reform, encouraging free trade, other things the Conservatives want | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
to do and other European countries are worried about. He has to go to | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Paris and say we don't want the City of London to run wild over all your | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
financial sectors, you to other places and reassure them as well. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
The suggestion in this Express story is it is a con because Parliament | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
could vote it down and the head of the parliament, Martin Schultz of | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
throwing his weight around sometimes when he feels that needs to be done, | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
he has been saying, we as parliamentarians could vote all this | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
down. I'm pretty sure that won't happen. That would be a serious | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
constitutional crisis within the EU and I don't think parliamentarians | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
are likely to turn round their governments who have negotiated this | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
in the first place and a brick it all up, start again or chuck the UK | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
out. They could be it gets renegotiated a bit and I think some | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
of the Eurosceptics who argue that have a point. But basically, if | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Cameron manages to tie up two things, one being the rule about | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
waiting for years before migrants get benefits, which we thought was | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
going to be the big issue, the one thing that was going to be almost | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
impossible to do. It looks at that has been almost sorted out. One | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
thing I don't think anyone realise that be as big an issue is this | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
issue of child benefits, to migrants who are here but whose children are | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
still back in their home countries. If you are Polish and a parent and | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
your child is in Poland, you are getting a UK rate of child benefit. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
I think David Cameron thought that would be tidied up quite quickly. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
The polls are pushing back quite quickly on that. We'll see how it | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
plays out. Downing Street confident they can get a deal by Friday. If we | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
go to the Daily Telegraph, Cameron to call referendum on Friday. And if | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
he does that, as soon as God macro days' time, it means his cabinet can | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
decide which way they want to go on this particular issue. Absolutely. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
There is a big rally on Friday and there are Cabinet ministers who are | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
keen to start campaigning for Brexit. There some who are sitting | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
on the fence as well, but both Iain Duncan Smith and Chris Grayling are | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
keen to join the Brexit campaign. I think Michael Gove and Boris | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Johnson, they are your risk acted -- Eurosceptics by think Cameron is | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
hoping he can persuade them to join the campaign to stay in. I think it | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
will be a very interesting weekend for Europe. After all that | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
negotiation it seems nice to have a bit of a lull. You say it is nice... | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
We will have the actual vote and the recriminations after the vote. Do | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
you want a long answer or the short answer? Sticking with the Telegraph. | :06:16. | :06:28. | |
The biggest rise in death rates since the war. Experts blame poor | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
NHS elderly care. This is an interesting story foster when I | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
first looked at the story I thought, is that surprising question that we | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
have an ageing society, more elderly and you would expect the death rate | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
to start to rise. There are some surprising stats here. This is a | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
report from Public Health England, or the advisers to Public Health | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
England. The stats say in one year in 2015 there were 5.4% more deaths | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
in England, equating to nearly 27,000 extra deaths according to | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
preliminary data from the Office of National Statistics. What is | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
interesting about this is a professor at Oxford University says | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
we have an ageing society, but it is even worse than we would expect. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Something else is happening here. This is not just the effects of what | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
is happening to our population as a whole. What he says is I suspect the | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
largest factor here is cuts to social services, Meals on Wheels, | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
visits to the elderly. This is the unseen effect of cuts, particular to | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
local government, which has been one area of government spending which | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
has been slashed down. People feel like that hasn't really had a | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
visible effect. Their bins still get connected, the road still get swept | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
most of the time, things are visibly OK, but we are starting to see some | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
of the hidden effects coming through. If you don't have the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
social services that the impact starts to be felt in A, on | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
hospital wards and on death rates. Doctors say they have felt the | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
effects for a long time. A related story in the Guardian, NHS might not | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
cut deaths. The big key point from Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary in | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
train to push through a seven day NHS, and as a result we have had | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
these strikes by junior doctors in relation to this, has been that the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
whole point of it is to cut the death rates and the high mortality | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
rate that we can. This suggests that is not going to happen anyway. I | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
think the NHS is dominating the papers at the moment. Before we go | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
to the Guardian, there is a picture on the front of the Telegraph, this | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
nurse. This is the human side of what is going on in the NHS. This is | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
a nurse who died waiting for an ambulance. 27 years old, a student | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
nurse, type one diabetes, died of cardiac arrest after an ambulance | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
was delayed by five hours. When things go wrong, people die. So the | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
seven day NHS might not cut deaths, that would be astonishing, after | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
he's brought the duty doctors out on strike for... The whole idea was | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
11,000 people year could be saved if we had weekend working. There was a | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
September 2015 report for the British medical Journal which said | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
that. But I think this now is arguing for people who go in at | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
weekends might be more ill than people who go in during the week. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Therefore you cannot just argue if there were more staff, they might | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
have a better chance of being saved. The other point this makes is to | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
deliver this you would need 11,000 more staff to deliver a a week | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
service and it would cost an extra ?900 million a year. Nobody is | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
saying that is going to be put on the table. OK, the Metro. A | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
cessation of hostilities, not the same as a ceasefire apparently, in | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Syria. This is supposed to be happening at the weekend. And yet | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
the bonds are still falling in the run up to that and hospitals are | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
being hit. Yes, this is a really tragic story from Syria. As you say, | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
there is supposed to be a cessation of hostilities, but the Russians | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
said during that time they will still continue to bomb targets they | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
see as terrorists. And the Americans as well, attacking Islamic State. | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
The question has always been if the Russians are attacking Islamic State | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
or the moderate rebels to help President Assad. I think there are | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
two strikes, which were suspected of having been carried out by the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Russians. Tensions now, it has become such a global crisis, it is | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
not just something about Syria, although what is happening to Syria | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
is of course tragic, but now having this turn into a proxy war between | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
the US, Russia, Turkey, Europe, all these various powers. It's almost | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
impossible now to track who is allied with whom. Russia, Turkey, | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
backing separate groups of rebels. The US and Russia both backing | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
Kurds. Turkey shelling the Kurds but Russia and the US don't agree on the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
strategy to bomb the rebels in other areas. It's an absolute mess. You | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
think, if we're going to get a cessation of violence, which | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
involves two the main players still bombing, are we any further than we | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
were last week? Absolutely. It doesn't make any sense, does it? I | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
did not understand a word of that, did you? I did. It is confusing but | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
the headline is slaughter of the innocents. I kept thinking, I | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
understand all this but at the end of the day... 50 people were killed | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
including sick children and a pregnant woman. One of these | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
hospitals was Medecins Sans Frontier. They have come out and | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
said this is a breach of international law. This is a | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
terrible tragedy. Potentially a war crimes. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Thank you Sian and Kiran, you'll both be back at 11.30pm | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
But coming up next it's time for Sportsday. | :12:18. | :12:33. | |
Hello and welcome to Sportsday with me Will Perry, the headlines | :12:34. | :12:37. |
