01/09/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are the broadcaster Dame Joan Bakewell and Liam Halligan,

Economics Commentator at the Daily Telegraph.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

The Metro leads with the prime minister, Theresa May,

telling doctors they've never had it so good.

She says the NHS is better funded than ever before.

following the vote to leave the European Union.

The Financial Times says London's lead in the foreign currency trading

business is being eroded by the rise of the Chinese renminbi, which is

The Daily Mirror leads on a ?2 million blackmail plotter,

who's been jailed for seven years after threatening to lace

We will look at a few of those in the next ten minutes. Let's look at

the front of the Metro. What I have to admire about the Prime Minister

is how absolute she is. She has a firm smack of government. Doctors

have never had it so good, echoing Harold Macmillan's phrase that won

him an election. She will not stand for any nonsense, quite refreshing

in turbulent times. I think it gets credit with the public. It reflects

the story getting more complicated overnight because the colleges have

come out against the junior doctors. Within the medical profession we now

have a huge row and it appears that if you examine the statistics and

compare them, the vote for strike action was in a turbulent meeting

which the majority was 16-12, and people were leaking all over the

place, saying the meeting was not unanimous and it was quite turbulent

and the medical profession is busy saying it will not do. It is

suggesting that Theresa May has left Jeremy Hunt in post. There was a

doubt about that for about one hour on that day. She has told him it is

his bike, knowing he will get the blame for what goes wrong and she

may well get the credit for seeing it sorted out. It is an interesting

story and I think it will not last long, there will be a resolution.

There has to be because the first five-day strike is slated for less

than a couple of weeks away. The BMA have pencilled in a series of

five-day strikes which will affect an estimated 1 million appointments

and up to 125,000 operations. There is a split not only within the

medical profession between the senior and junior doctors but within

the BMA itself. I would think the public would also be compromised.

They want doctors and nurses to be properly funded but they also want a

weekend NHS and they also don't want doctors to strike. A difficult

political hot potato which Theresa May has taken the bull by the horns

and said there is no way you're going to get a cigarette paper

between me and my Health Secretary. Medicine and the health service has

never been able to solve so many people's problems. Medical advances

are moving ahead all the time, we hear of new cures and drugs and

trials every week. We all benefit and we live longer and healthier.

The health service needs more money than ever because it is able to put

right so many things. It needs more money and at the moment the NHS is

one of the cheapest ways of funding national health in the world. Let's

look at The Guardian's FrontPage. It reflects what you said about the

split between senior and junior doctors. This is big politics when

you have the doctors themselves split not only between juniors and

seniors but within the BMA. Talking about the NHS being value for money,

it will if we take the cartoonist's advice on the front of The Telegraph

where he has a wonderful picture of a patient in bed covered in leeches.

We have started using them again. They don't make you better but at

least they're happy to work at weekends. He is quite brilliant and

always on the front page. Lots of financial talk on the front of The

Financial Times. I mentioned the Chinese currency and there is a less

positive financial story at the top of the page but up more positive one

lower down. Interesting juxtaposition of stories. Ahead of

the G20 in China, the top 20 countries, including many emerging

market economies, not the G-7, which is this weekend. The FT is flagging

a report from the bank of International settlements looking at

London's domination of the forex. In 2013 it was 41% control but it has

gone down sharply. New York is second with 19%. All of our laws has

been a sharp's gain -- Asia. It is an interesting state of the world

story and then the FT has put on the front page, surprising some people

because it was very pro-remain macro, then use that -- the news

that manufacturing is that a ten month high, the FTSE 100 has

recovered, since Brexit. It is ingesting because we do not have

Brexit yet, it is post-referendum. Post a Brexit is three years down

the line. And counting. It was shock after the referendum and everyone

felt it would all go immediately wrong but that is very short term.

It didn't go instantly wrong, it isn't come to be fruitful or not in

the end. The idea that we are post Brexit, it hasn't even begun to be

sorted out. Future historians will judge whether it was good for the

British economy but that reality will not stop either side trying to

make political hay with statistics every day. The financial market

here, the top story about the currency is that it says one factor

depressing the trading volumes was because the investigative

authorities in Britain were taking a series of steps to stop improper

trading and investigations resulted in a total of $10 billion in fines,

so that would hit. London trades on the perception that it has high

regulatory standards that many other emerging markets sometimes it does,

sometimes it doesn't. In the case of currency exchange, London clearly

does have higher standards than the emerging markets. This is a big

increase, 41% to 27% to two point. Mac -- in the 2.5 years, it is a big

shift. The Independent, one neuron, has the forgotten Alan Kurdi. -- one

the year on this. Your heartbreaks. Everybody responds emotionally and

the basic feeling is it is intolerable something must be done.

The Guardian has the front page on the story as well. One year since he

died, will little as changed. Then it lists things that did happen.

Change comes slowly. You don't suddenly get the world saying we

don't like this picture, peace breaks out. Two days after his

death, Germany agreed to admit more refugees. A humanitarian corridor

was created in Eastern Europe. Canada promised to resettle 20 5000.

The UK promised to accept 4000, not many but better than none. Things

happen but responses are small and they don't make headlines as

startling is that image. The weather this summer has been slightly better

in the Mediterranean, so more people have died looking for a better life

in Europe already this summer and the migration season isn't over,

than the whole of last summer. Buy to let landlords moving in on air B

and B. We are both aficionados. It is a successful system, replacing

hotels if we are not careful. You can find yourself in a looks are as

flat -- luxurious. Property owners are doing this. If you are a

landlord with a long-term let, you think you might make more money.

George Osborne has put a cap on buy to let. The spirit of Ali Bongo

three -- the spirit of Airbnb was that... Thank you both.

Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website

where you can read a detailed review of the papers.

It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers,
