trade deal in Brussels, following weeks of uncertainty. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the Home Affairs Editor of the Evening Standard, | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Martin Bentham, and the broadcaster Rachel Shabi. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
We also call you a writer and journalist, Rachel. Nice to have you | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
here. Let's look at the front pages. The Telegraph leads on what it | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
describes as the financial crisis It says nearly half of NHS | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
authorities in England are drawing up plans to cut hospital beds | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
and a third propose to close or downgrade Accident | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
and Emergency departments. The Independent leads | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
with the US Election campaign - it shows Jennifer Lopez | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
campaigning with Hillary Clinton as she tries to appeal | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
to the hispanic population. As the latest polls show | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Donald Trump may be winning over That is following the new FBI | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
enquiry into Mrs Clinton's e-mails. The paper says a group of MPS say | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
Theresa May's claims that the government is putting | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
?10 billion extra into the National The Bank of England Governor's | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
future is the front page It says Mr Carney is likely to make | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
a statement this week ending speculation that he will step down | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
before Britain leaves the EU. The devastation of Italy's | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
earthquake makes the front page of the Metro, the worst | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
quake in nearly 40 years. a Republican, of meddling in | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
politics as it opens a new inquiry into Hillary Clinton days before | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
the country chooses We will start with the Financial | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
Times, Mark Carney stands ready to serve a full eight year term at the | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Bank of England. It was a bit controversial when he did not sign | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
up for the full amount in the first place. To be fair to him, the reason | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
was he has a family, four daughters, and they all had to come over here | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
to settle. That is what he said at the time, because he was not sure | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
how it would go, so committed to five years and would stay on. Last | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
week or so, there was speculation he would not stay on, because he has | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
been under attack from pro-Brexit MPs, and was upset by something | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Theresa May said about economic policy in her conference speech, at | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
the Tory party conference, that he was going to decide and announce | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
this week that he wasn't going to stay. Now the Financial Times says | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
he is, although it is heavily caveat it. It is a great journalistic | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
story. It talks about leaning strongly to towards the state in his | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
post, so they are nailing their colours firmly to the mast, whilst | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
at the same time in classic journalistic fashion giving | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
themselves an escape route if he somehow decides later this week that | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
he isn't going to. It is not certain, but it would be useful to | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
have that continuity as we leave the European Union. You would think so, | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
wouldn't you. I find it quite strange that there are, as you say, | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
members of the Conservative government that have been | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
undermining him, shall we say? Making comments that aren't entirely | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
supportive. It seems a strange time to want to rock the boat in this | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
way. The accusations are of him that during the EU referendum, and since | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
then, he has been gloomy about the economic forecast. Well, you might | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
just say that he has been value neutral, and the forecast is gloomy, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
as opposed to him spinning it in that way. It does seem a bit | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
ridiculous to be making these comments about him. And certainly, | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
at this time when you would need continuity. I think, beforehand, it | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
is not what he has said since, but before the referendum, suggesting | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
the likelihood of a recession if we voted for Brexit, and that growth | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
would go down and it was likely to have a negative effect in the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
short-term, that was seen as a red rag by some people, and he was | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
criticised in a select committee omitted before the vote. And of | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
course, some of that has not been proved quite correct. It is not | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
entirely incorrect that the sterling value has gone down, but we haven't | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
seen that effect in the short-term, we haven't seen a recession, but it | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
is possible we could do so at some point. Like when we leave the EU. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Which is what has forecast was. When we leave the EU, there will be a | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
recession. We haven't left yet. I then think he did say that. I have | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
got to say that I think he was giving perhaps... he was attacked | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
for saying anything at all and intervening in a political way. I | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
voted for Brexit, and didn't believe the scare stories, but I think he | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
was doing what he felt to be the right thing. He argued that the time | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
that it would be negligent not to have said what he thought. I think | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
it is right that he does stay on, and hopefully he will do. If he is | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
asked for his opinion, he will give it, wouldn't you think. Let's look | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
at the Daily Telegraph. Why almost got the wrong paper. Hospital beds | :05:30. | :05:42. | |
and a loonie units face axe -- accident and emergency units face | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
axe. It will appeal to the government to step in, won't it, | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Rachel. The committee has said that almost half of NHS authorities are | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
drawing up emergency plans to cut hospital beds, but also to close | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
down accident and emergency departments. This is, as a | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
consequence of what they have been warning about for some time now, and | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the warnings have become more and more severe of this massive | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
shortfall in cash. The NHS now needs a huge cash injection to save it and | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
it comes at a time when we have a government that is not only | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
underfunded health and social care for the past eight years, but shows | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
no signs of wanting to reverse that. I think the government would query | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
what you have said that, because I think the real question is that they | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
say they have put in eight billion, but Theresa May says she has put in | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
10 billion. The government says it has delivered that, and it has put | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
more in now, and that has questioned, and Sarah Wollaston, the | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
chairman of the select committee, who is writing a letter tomorrow, | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
saying the figure is not right. Although more money has been put in. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
The problem is that the extra money that is going in, it is not | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
sufficient to cope with the vast the increasing demand in all sorts of | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
ways. That is the classic problem the NHS has faced year after year, | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
after year. It is a question of priority. We want a functioning NHS, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
and we need to invest more in it. There is the issue of demand. It is | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
the same as GPs, they are overloaded because more people go to them. The | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
GPs are overlaid did because the NHS is trapped. It is a knock on effect. | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
It is something that seems to get more and more problematic. This is | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
suggesting that the consequence of this is fairly dire things will | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
happen. There were warnings, weren't there. There have been for quite | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
some time. We are starting to see what it might look like. Let's stay | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
with the Daily Telegraph, Britain to ditch its unfair fishing quotas | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
after Brexit. This is supposed to provide a good deal, says George | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Eustace, the fisheries minister. What is going to change? One | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
straightforward change would be that we are not part of the EU fishing | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
quota system. Then we would strike a new arrangement of some sort, of | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
which that is reinstated. The basic point about exiting the EU is that | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
we would regain control of our fishing waters, fish our own waters | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
and decide who fishes them. The argument is that therefore we would, | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
in effect, be able to fish more and not have to restrict our fishing in | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
the way that we do at the moment. Spanish trawlers most notoriously, | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
babe may want to come in and take a large amount of fish that we have. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
That is the lodgement. The reality may be a different kettle of fish! | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
If there aren't quotas of some sort, we could have overfishing again. | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
We will overfishing on our own terms would be your argument. We might. Of | :09:07. | :09:18. | |
course, fishing goes on and so we can still fish in a responsible way, | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
just more of it. So there are two questions about how me fish can be | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
taken out, and how the fish that is the right amount to response we take | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
out is divided between the different countries that can fish. It is a | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
whole other thing to sort out. Theoretically, what George Eustace | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
says is correct. But he doesn't very much specified. He just suggests | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
that things will change any fundamental way and so on. We would | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
hope to get a better deal. We would hope to get a better deal. You can | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
apply that line to just about everything. We don't know, but we | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
feel like we will be OK. We have hidden cards that we haven't played | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
yet. It has been a bugbear for people in fishing towns for a long | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
time. So of course, to those people it will be a very appealing | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
argument, perhaps. Let's look at the i. Trump closes the gap on Clinton | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
to two points, the polls say. The Democrats hit out at latest | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
investigation. This was an investigation that we understand the | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
FBI has opened, e-mails on Hillary Clinton's Private e-mail account. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
But there has been criticism of the FBI director for doing it so close | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
to the election. The Democrats and others, to be fair, have pointed out | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
that it is a bit strange to have made these comments about the | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
e-mails just ten days ahead of the election. Particularly since we | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
don't really know whether this is a new batch of e-mails, it could be an | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
old batch, it could be something that has already been investigated, | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
they may not even be her e-mails. There are a lot of unknowns about | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
this. A, it wasn't qualified in that way, and it being released so close | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
to the election has caused ire in Hillary Clinton's the income. Harry | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
Reid, who is a senator, a Democratic senator, leader in the Senate, he | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
has come out saying that the FBI director may have broken the law by | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
publicly disclosing these steps so close to election day. But if he | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
hadn't and it had come out later, would that have been worse? Like | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
Mark Carney, if he does not say something before a crucial vote, you | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
win or lose either way, don't you? In this case, if he had sat on it | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
and it had turned out to be incriminating, and after the | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
election Hillary Clinton wins and there is some terrible revelation, | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
which is unlikely, but he would be accused of covering up. He is down | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
to either way. The reality probably is, fortunately for Hillary, it has | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
cast a sudden cloud, hasn't it, over her prospects -- dammed either way. | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
It is something that has been bad news, and a bullet of weak point in | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
her armoury come and it has opened up, which is not good news for her. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
In the Guardian, Brexit. German family seeks British citizenship. | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Tens of thousands of German dues fled the country and want to become | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
citizens. Why do they feel the need to do this? They want to be members | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
of the EU. They don't want to lose their EU passport according to | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
German authorities, 400 applications from the UK are being processed. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
There are another 100 or so enquiries in the pipeline. | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
Obviously, the commentaries that this would be difficult, a lot of | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
these petition Jewish families might be families that fled Germany, fled | :13:24. | :13:33. | |
the Holocaust, fled the Nazis. A significant psychological challenge | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
is how it is put. There are also lots of Israelis living in Berlin, | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
for examples. There has been a sort of reckoning with all of that as | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
well. And if you years ago, Spain said that Sephardic dues, dues that | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
were expelled from Spain in 1492, before the Muslims were kicked out | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
by the Catholic rulers there, they can get Spanish citizenship. -- | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
dues. I take all of this with a pinch of | :14:09. | :14:23. | |
salt. It is not big numbers. What the motivation is is completely | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
unknown. Is it an interesting thing? Vaguely interesting, but it is the | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
idea that everyone will flee the country whoever wins the election | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
and so on. In 15 seconds, tell us why Bangladesh are on the front page | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
of the Guardian, Martyn. They have beaten England for the very first | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
time. Great for them. Not good for us, a bit humiliating, but good luck | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
to them. They have become an increasingly strong Test match | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
playing team, and that has got to be a positive thing. 108 runs they have | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
beaten them by. That is it for the papers this hour. But we will be | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
back, it it is Sunday and you get a double dose. | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
