of public service is to expose inequalities in the way that ethnic | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
minorities and white working-class people are treated. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
With me are broadcaster Rachel Shabi and journalist Eva Simpson. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
Good evening to you both. Before we hear from them, let's have a quick | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
look at what the papers are bringing us. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
The Observer quotes a former Tory health minister calling | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
for a new tax to fund the NHS and social care. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The Sunday Times has pictures of Theresa May enjoying | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
The Sunday Telegraph says Theresa May is asking her | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
ministers for their personal Brexit blueprints. | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
More lives could be lost on Britain's beaches according | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
to the Sunday Express - which blames cuts for leaving coast | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
The Mail on Sunday claims victory over plans they say are in place | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
to divert tens of millions of pounds in foreign aid | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
So Brexit is back. The Sunday Times and the Sunday Telegraph, and get to | :01:05. | :01:14. | |
that a moment, pictures the of the reason me enjoying a cup of tea and | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
watching the cricket. It can't be more British than that for a British | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Prime Minister. What do you think she is thinking of? Probably the | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
cricket photo is to enable the strapline may prepares to umpire | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
Brexit clash and that is very much what this study and others are | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
focused on, which is that there is this almighty tussle with various of | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
her ministers. This story in the Sunday Times is talking about the | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Chancellor trying to muscle in on Brexit deals, in a way that the | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
other ministers do not particularly welcome. I imagine she is going to | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
have two sort of pull them apart and ask them to focus on the task at | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
hand. The other interesting thing is that all along she said Brexit means | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Brexit but still no one knows what that means. According to the Sunday | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Times she has told her Cabinet ministers to come to a meeting with | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
the idea of how to get the best out of Brexit. Who has been quoted? | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
There are no Cabinet ministers who have been quartered. There are | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
reliable sources in this. Has split at the Cabinet supposed to be? Three | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
quarters of them are remain supporters so they must come to this | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
meeting with the plans on how did best go forward with Brexit. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Meanwhile there is a turf war going on with people trying to muscle in | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
with other people. Is that what the papers want us to believe? How | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
reliable are the Westminster lobby? The government and they must listen | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
to the people who voted for Brexit, they must see it through. One | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
wonders how divided the Cabinet are. Yes the country voted for Brexit but | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
no one knows what that means so now they must come up with a plan. There | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
is no plan, that is what I'm taking from this piece. She wants everyone | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
to come together. This will be the staff meeting from hell. This will | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
be worried a lot of people at home who voted for Brexit and the people | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
who are in power who are being asked to make it happen and come up with a | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
plan. The Sunday Telegraph describes it as May is the Brexit -- Brexit | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
enforcer. Then makes you wonder how many people when they voted for | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Brexit realise that there wasn't that much of a plan. People may have | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
thought there was a Pied Piper ultimately things by campaigners but | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
the one thought for one minute that the people reading the Brexit | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
campaign didn't really know how this would manifest itself if indeed we | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
voted to leave the EU. Now we have really lies there is no plan. There | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
are lots of divisions. People said no to the EU but we don't know what | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
kind of know that was. There is disagreement in the Cabinet. Do we | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
stay in the single market? If we do the week at a the controls on | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
migration that we think we can and should control. Or presumably that | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
some people do. It is almost inevitable that there would be these | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
divisions given that we did not know the first place what Brexit would | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
mean. Do you think what the Times and Telegraph are suggesting our big | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
divisions in the Cabinet? Cabinet falling apart over Brexit. Not that | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
they are falling apart but the sense that they all must come up with the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
strategy. There is no strategy and now they must come up with one. They | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
are all coming at it from different perspectives. Both newspapers | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
highlight the divisions between different departments. There are | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
suggestions that some departments have been briefing negative stories | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
about new departments. See what I mean? Be careful what you read! It | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
is fascinating but I guess the headline is correct. This is why | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
until perhaps we have heard from the horses mouth about divisions in the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
capital, Debbie takes... I am asking the question, Adi... It will never | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
say, I am cross with Boris because he will not let the muscle in. We | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
know that with the lobby. We will see what happens after Wednesday. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Showery moved on to the mild on Sunday? At last MOS victory on | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
foreign aid is the claim. This has been a long-running campaign. It has | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
with the mild on Sunday. They claimed a victory because Priti | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Patel the new International developer secretary has said that | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
she plans to divert the foreign aid budget to go towards funding the war | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
on terror. There is not much more meat to the silly that we have seen | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
but it is a heartbreaking headline to read. We know that she is not in | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
favour of foreign aid. I think it is a bit of an easy win for her. An | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
easy headline. Quite a populist thing for her to do. For me it is | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
quite a sad thing because as much as we have read headlines with the | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
foreign aid budget funding some despot doing this and it is all | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
going to corrupt regimes, who actually does a lot of good and why | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
should people suffer? It does a lot of good. Pakistan is among the | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
biggest receivers of foreign aid, it is huge, and there is an issue of | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
terrorism there but there's poverty and problems. Refugees. It is | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
difficult to know where the money is going to go. Not really. I think | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
eyebrows and should have raised when Priti Patel was appointed the new | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
international developer secretary. She does not believe in | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
international development because she has decided to scrap it. This is | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
0.7% of Britain's budget. It is going to places like Pakistan and | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
helping to send girls to school in Pakistan and helping with | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
immunisation programmes in Africa and helping Syrian refugees. The | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
bulk of it is funnelled through the UN. You say why should they suffer | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
because some of that money in certain parts of the country ends up | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
in the wrong hands are being misspent? That is just a way of | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
saying, that is a way of avoiding paying it. It would be hard to | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
imagine that most of it is not going to the right place. And the idea | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
that it is an either or scenario. We can't fund counterterrorism and | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
foreign aid as though we need to make that choice, we don't. We also | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
need to find the NHS. Also an ideal logical choice. The Observer UK | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
needs new tax to save NHS and social care from collapse according to top | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Tory. MP demands action by made to solve cash crisis for NHS. Is this a | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
new tax for the NHS? This is something else for treason these | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
injury. There is a long list of things for her to do. Dan Poulter | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
suggests there should be a tax so that we can safeguard money for | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
social care. It is a long-running issue the idea that elderly people | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
once they go into hospital they stay in hospital because there isn't a | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
social care plan that there is nowhere for them to go so instead of | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
leaving the stay in hospital, which costs them more. He is suggesting | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
that there should be some ring fencing of funds to prevent that | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
happening. Because he said it is urgently required I'd is a crisis. | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
It is good to see this issue raised. He was from the Department of Health | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
but he is also a part-time NHS doctor and this correlation between | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
starving social services, of course if you cut social services to the | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
extent that we have in the UK through austerity that will have an | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
impact on the NHS. Of course it will affect the NHS in a negative way. So | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
to connect those dots I think is a really important things. Obviously | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
we should be seeing, trying to fund the two together because they work | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
so closely in tandem. Not strike to staff one and overburdened the | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
other. The Sunday express, this is not an issue that seems to be going | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
away it has been going for some time. It started in local papers in | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
Sussex and now graces the national papers. Cuts led to drownings, no | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
cash to guard our beaches are still die in one week. There has been a | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
lot of calls from lifeguards to be there but it is quite a quiet beach, | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
but very popular. The local council, I read that they said there is no | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
need for lifeguards. According to this and people in the government, | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
local government for these cuts and he is demanding that something be | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
done about it in the light of all these tragedies over the summer. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
Other tweet I saw saying, I don't not it is true, but they claim that | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
the local council make between 30 and ?50,000 per year out of the car | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
park on the beach. That could go some way towards putting some | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
lifeguards on the beach to make sure people don't get trapped in the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
sand. Local authorities are having to decide what to cut, these cuts | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
have been imposed upon the idea must decide which of the local services | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
they can get rid of. It is no grey surprise to discover that we do not | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
have enough coastguards, and that service has been starved of funds | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
given so much about local authorities provide has been. We | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
just have time to squeeze in a story that I really want to about, | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
snoring. Talk It is the traffic's fault. It sleepiness during the day | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
is linked to traffic pollution. I have just moved to the countryside | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
and I definitely stop snoring. I sleep like a baby. Your nostrils get | :12:13. | :12:25. | |
blocked up. Is it a pollution related thing? They discovered that | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
25% of men snort. Added his traffic pollution there is the likelihood | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
that snarling increased with the exposure to traffic. One more thing | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
caused by pollution. Thank you very much for taking us to the papers. We | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
will do it again at 30p.m.. Goodbye. Thank you very much for watching. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Coming up next is this weeks edition of reporters. A full round-up of the | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
best reports from that week. From here in the BBC newsroom, | :13:02. | :13:24. | |
