says the result of tests on samples in March and May 20 15th were

:00:00.:00:00.

contradictory. That's all from Sportsday with me, Will Parry.

:00:00.:00:00.

Hello and welcome to our look at what the papers will be saying

:00:07.:00:28.

tomorrow, with me, Lucy Fischer and Philippa Leighton Jones, city editor

:00:29.:00:32.

of the Wall Street Journal. The Financial Times is focusing on

:00:33.:00:37.

Barack Obama's unprecedented intervention in the race for the

:00:38.:00:41.

White House, he says Donald Trump is unfit to become president. The metro

:00:42.:00:45.

beads on a warning that petition banks could collapse in a future

:00:46.:00:50.

financial crisis. The Times says health officials have warned that

:00:51.:00:53.

children with cystic fibrosis will be denied a drug to help them

:00:54.:00:57.

breathe after the High Court ruled that the NHS should pay for a bill

:00:58.:01:02.

to prevent HIV infection. The Daily Express says the UK border agency is

:01:03.:01:06.

not equipped to deal with the current wave of migration into

:01:07.:01:15.

Europe, while the Guardian says that child refugees are not getting the

:01:16.:01:19.

help they need and the Daily male says that culture and surgery may be

:01:20.:01:27.

rationed as the NHS is told to pay for a drug to prevent HIV. The

:01:28.:01:33.

banking crisis? This is all based on a report from the Adam Smith

:01:34.:01:36.

Institute urges a libertarian think tank which, its basic premise is

:01:37.:01:43.

that the Bank of England 's stress tests have not been stressful

:01:44.:01:47.

enough. Not the first time it said this. It said earlier this year that

:01:48.:01:55.

the stress scenarios that these banks are put through not stressful

:01:56.:01:59.

at all, more like mildly pessimistic. And now it is rolling

:02:00.:02:06.

it out again and said that we had a Europe-wide stress tests and the

:02:07.:02:09.

banks did not too badly. That was seven times as bad as the crisis in

:02:10.:02:16.

2008 or as the British ones are only twice as bad. There wasn't a pass-

:02:17.:02:22.

fail in the recent stress tests but of the British banks Barclays Bank

:02:23.:02:25.

came close to a questionable level but even so it could withstand it.

:02:26.:02:32.

Is this overblown, then? I think they are looking at a bigger issue.

:02:33.:02:36.

There is a big issue that needs to be looked at, which is that banks

:02:37.:02:41.

are not that profitable any more. Not as profitable as they were

:02:42.:02:46.

before the financial crisis. That is partly because interest rates have

:02:47.:02:49.

been brought way down, which hurts banks and makes the most profitable

:02:50.:02:54.

because they cannot charge as much. So much regulation has been imposed

:02:55.:02:57.

and banks that they cannot be as profitable as they were before so...

:02:58.:03:04.

Lucy, banks not making as much money as they did before. I'm weeping. The

:03:05.:03:11.

nation is weeping! I can tell! That's right, people would

:03:12.:03:16.

necessarily have much sympathy with bankers, who maybe not making as

:03:17.:03:19.

much money and bonuses may have been clamped down on but it is still

:03:20.:03:27.

stressful... We might get interest rates cut on Thursday. Super

:03:28.:03:31.

Thursday is what we looking forward to in Westminster, it will form the

:03:32.:03:35.

backdrop to the most important Autumn Statement in the. The Daily

:03:36.:03:42.

male. They report on what they call skewed sense of values. Vital

:03:43.:03:49.

cataract surgery rationed as the NHS is told to give money to funding and

:03:50.:03:59.

HIV drug. We saw this in the last administration, the cancer drug fund

:04:00.:04:02.

which people said would take money away from other things and this is

:04:03.:04:07.

even more controversial, and HIV prevention drug, many people might

:04:08.:04:11.

say that 10,000 gay men who will get this daily pill to prevent the

:04:12.:04:14.

infection, maybe they could use condoms instead? Others will argue

:04:15.:04:20.

that different drugs will lose out. It isn't just gay men. Of course

:04:21.:04:26.

not. There is a higher risk with gay men. I understand that the High

:04:27.:04:32.

Court ruling is specifically about daily pills for a high-risk

:04:33.:04:36.

community but of course you are right. The Times has highlighted the

:04:37.:04:41.

fact that children, cystic fibrosis drugs funding will be cut, cataract

:04:42.:04:46.

surgery will be rationed on the back of this decision. Phillipa, Mice

:04:47.:04:52.

will make the ultimate decision and decide whether or not this Prep pill

:04:53.:04:59.

is economically viable for the NHS. So ultimately they will decide. Is

:05:00.:05:08.

this kind of FrontPage and at affecting that debate within Nice?

:05:09.:05:14.

Probably. The point is, these won't be the last comparisons drawn. There

:05:15.:05:19.

will be cancer drugs and all other kinds of treatment is drawn into

:05:20.:05:25.

this debate. What is being argued here is that the prevention will

:05:26.:05:29.

save over ?300,000 a year over the course of a lifetime. So actually,

:05:30.:05:43.

you are putting a sort of... It's difficult. Is there any analysis of

:05:44.:05:49.

long-term saving on this page? Are you shocked by that? It's in The

:05:50.:05:55.

Times. Being facetious. Cameron is to give up the fight for

:05:56.:06:02.

millionaires's peerages. His final honours list leaked. One man has

:06:03.:06:08.

already taken himself of the list without being confirmed if that

:06:09.:06:13.

makes sense. Two stories breaking, this exclusive on the front of the

:06:14.:06:18.

times that Cameron will step back from the former Tory treasurer who

:06:19.:06:23.

raised millions of pounds for the party, Cameron allegedly wanted to

:06:24.:06:28.

reward him with a peerage, the Lords appointments committee has flagged

:06:29.:06:32.

up issues to do with Michael Spencer's company and it has run

:06:33.:06:37.

into regulatory bodies. So it is interesting that this may not go

:06:38.:06:39.

ahead although it seems to me that the damage is done, the row over

:06:40.:06:44.

cronyism is an full throttle. It's the same story we have twice a year

:06:45.:06:48.

with the New Year Honours and the Queen's Birthday Honours. This is an

:06:49.:06:53.

extra level of murkiness with the Prime Minister rewarding almost 50

:06:54.:06:59.

aids, allies, and donors. The suggestion, Phillipa, is that if you

:07:00.:07:02.

are a leader and you leave office you give out these gongs to repay

:07:03.:07:07.

debts that you have built up over your time in office. And Mr Cameron

:07:08.:07:12.

has clearly felt that he has a lot of debts he needs to sort out. A lot

:07:13.:07:25.

of IOUs. And this potential recipient has done an awful lot of

:07:26.:07:30.

fundraising for the party, he has done the philanthropy part as well.

:07:31.:07:35.

But the crucial thing is, his company was heavily involved in a

:07:36.:07:39.

libel scandal. On the East individuals at the company well.

:07:40.:07:43.

Michael Spencer wasn't embroiled in that himself -- or at least

:07:44.:07:48.

individuals at the company were. And it's become embroiled in other rows

:07:49.:07:52.

of regulators, very damaging for the City of London. So then it looks

:07:53.:07:57.

difficult for David Cameron to give a peerage for this especially when

:07:58.:08:01.

you are considering this like Sir Philip Green and his knighthood and

:08:02.:08:04.

the reputational damage that comes with these things. OK. Onto the

:08:05.:08:13.

Daily Express. EU's migrant crisis, Saul, British Borders facing threat

:08:14.:08:18.

from terrorists and smuggling gangs. This is a new report by MPs warning

:08:19.:08:23.

that there are only three patrol boats guarding our island nation.

:08:24.:08:29.

It's not exactly new that security has been downplayed although we

:08:30.:08:34.

don't have a US log in, log and system with whoever comes in through

:08:35.:08:40.

conventional port and air. So the idea of beefing up channel security

:08:41.:08:44.

for people that might be coming across in dinghies is by the by.

:08:45.:08:50.

Home-grown terrorism is as much a threat as foreign as we have seen

:08:51.:08:54.

from recent attacks on the continent. Interesting that today is

:08:55.:09:00.

the day, given this headline that the new EU commissioner from the UK

:09:01.:09:04.

will head up the EU's terrorism force. And interesting remit for

:09:05.:09:16.

him. This is an EU - wide issue, not just our problem, Angela Merkel is

:09:17.:09:19.

facing the ramifications of letting in migrants and operating that

:09:20.:09:22.

open-door policy with migrants last year. And the fallout after that. We

:09:23.:09:30.

have seen in the past few weeks. As Lucy said, home-grown terrorism,

:09:31.:09:35.

this radicalisation can be done online as easily as it can through

:09:36.:09:40.

an open border or an open port. So yes, it is problematic and this is a

:09:41.:09:45.

big problem for the government and the new EU Commissioner on top of

:09:46.:09:50.

what is probably not the best job in the EU at the moment. OK. To the

:09:51.:09:58.

Financial Times. Obama brands Trump not heard from presidency. He is

:09:59.:10:03.

calling upon Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton! -- he has branded

:10:04.:10:09.

Trump not fit for the presidency. This is an unprecedented move. Yet

:10:10.:10:16.

as Barack Obama has made clear, he stood against Mitt Romney and John

:10:17.:10:21.

Maclean, he never made any such comment, that John McCain, although

:10:22.:10:27.

he did not agree with their policies but with the comments that Donald

:10:28.:10:30.

Trump has made, now getting into a row with the parents of a Muslim

:10:31.:10:35.

serviceman killed in Iraq, it's the final straw for some people. The

:10:36.:10:41.

first member of Congress for the Republicans has said that he will

:10:42.:10:45.

vote for Mrs Clinton. But he cannot stomach Donald Trump. As President

:10:46.:10:53.

Obama said, this is not an occasion we have an episodic gaffe, this is

:10:54.:10:57.

daily. This issue with the parents of the Muslim soldier has obviously

:10:58.:11:04.

galvanised this position. But we are still three months from the

:11:05.:11:10.

election, and while he might be trying to persuade Republicans at

:11:11.:11:14.

this point that they might forget about this episode, this particular

:11:15.:11:19.

gaffe, at this point in time, by the time the November election comes

:11:20.:11:22.

around... The debates are going to be fascinating. It will be

:11:23.:11:28.

absolutely fascinating. I'm interested to see that since the

:11:29.:11:31.

conventions last month the opinion polls are moving in favour of

:11:32.:11:37.

Hillary Clinton are so perhaps this of the match predicted implosion...

:11:38.:11:42.

These impressions have been predicted for months and it hasn't

:11:43.:11:46.

happened. It's interesting that Barack Obama is not making a

:11:47.:11:49.

political point, as you say, Lucy. He talked about Mitt Romney and

:11:50.:11:53.

about John McCain, Republican rivals, who ran against him for the

:11:54.:11:57.

White House but he makes it clear that at no point did he think that

:11:58.:12:03.

they were unfit for the job. He clearly genuinely believes that

:12:04.:12:08.

Donald Trump is not up to it. Vistas and partisan, this is individual.

:12:09.:12:13.

It's about a personality and Trump is a big personality. To the

:12:14.:12:19.

Guardian. The sports pages. Thomas Bach hits out at the world and Edo

:12:20.:12:23.

and body and its nuclear option over Russian Olympians. -- the world

:12:24.:12:29.

anti-doping body. He is the head of the IOC and has been heavily

:12:30.:12:33.

criticised for not facing a blanket ban on Russian athletes following

:12:34.:12:37.

suggestions of state-sponsored doping across Russian athletic

:12:38.:12:41.

boards. He's argued that individual athletes, training so hard, in

:12:42.:12:46.

Russia, should not become collateral damage... The clean ones, that is,

:12:47.:12:51.

because of a state-sponsored policy. To my mind the mutual recriminations

:12:52.:12:54.

between different bodies presiding over the Olympics and the doping

:12:55.:13:01.

scandal, it's all quite unsavoury. And the reason we love watching

:13:02.:13:04.

sport is because of the sense of fair play, and when that is called

:13:05.:13:09.

into question I think it really does turn people off. I think there's a

:13:10.:13:13.

sense of disillusionment with the time difference in Brazil and the

:13:14.:13:18.

anti-climax of London 2012 here, I wonder if they will be quite as much

:13:19.:13:23.

excitement. They have missed this whole thing up, haven't they? Brazil

:13:24.:13:29.

itself hasn't done the best job. The IOC said earlier today that they are

:13:30.:13:33.

going to be very cautious on awarding the Olympics to a

:13:34.:13:36.

developing country in the future because they just don't want to take

:13:37.:13:40.

the risk any more. It's been fraught with difficulty. You've still got

:13:41.:13:44.

bridges collapsing and the water polluted, the US rowing team have

:13:45.:13:49.

had to make special suits for their role as... That's very interesting

:13:50.:13:59.

because with your economics hat on, in 2008 when Brazil got the gig for

:14:00.:14:02.

Rio, this was an emerging market that was going helter-skelter

:14:03.:14:06.

forward. It was the feature, basically! Eight years later, it

:14:07.:14:11.

doesn't look like that. But it was the future. So this big discussion

:14:12.:14:15.

now as to whether a developing country that might have great future

:14:16.:14:18.

prospects, as to whether they should get this kind of gig. The IOC is

:14:19.:14:25.

feeling uncomfortable about it. The problem was that its income was

:14:26.:14:28.

based on commodities and they've fallen off a cliff. They are not in

:14:29.:14:33.

such an economically advantageous situation as they were in 2008. So

:14:34.:14:38.

the IOC is having a problem stomaching going through this again.

:14:39.:14:42.

The Zika virus scandal isn't helping and the entire thing looks like

:14:43.:14:47.

total chaos. Will look forward to the next one back in London. Smile.

:14:48.:14:55.

Experts decide that using dental floss makes no difference. Do you

:14:56.:15:01.

use dental floss? I've always thought it was a waste of time.

:15:02.:15:08.

Philippa? Every day. And your lashes look fantastic. It is clear here

:15:09.:15:14.

that flossing doesn't make a difference -- your gnashers. Day in

:15:15.:15:31.

day out, with a of string... The important thing, it's the US

:15:32.:15:36.

government and we all know that the Americans have the best teeth. They

:15:37.:15:40.

spend a fortune on them. We've got better things to do! All right.

:15:41.:15:47.

Philippa, Lucy, thank you for looking up the stories behind the

:15:48.:15:52.
