Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are the parliamentary journalist Tony Grew | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
and the broadcaster and journalist, Sean Dilley. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Actress Carrie Fisher's death at the age of 60 | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
is the main focus of the Independent. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
The paper also claims to have seen plans to topple Unite union's chief | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Carrie Fisher also makes headlines in the Mail - | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
as does new analysis from researchers | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
that 80% of the middle-aged population | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
The Express also features the new health figures, | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
reporting that diabetes among the middle-aged has doubled. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The Daily Telegraph claims that the Armed Forces face another | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
round of cuts, partly due to the fall in the pound. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
It also notes transport disruption due to cold weather across the UK. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
The Times reports that the government will reform charges | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
for electric car charging, to combat the steep costs that | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
The paper also carries an image of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
And finally, the Sun also pays tribute to Carrie Fisher, | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
and reports that George Michael will be buried in his | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Carrie Fisher, whose picture is pretty much on every front pageant | :01:31. | :01:49. | |
not surprisingly. An iconic figure for many fans of the movies and | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
especially the Star Wars movies. She will be most remembered as Princess | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Leia did not need a hero to rescue her. She was one of the first | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Hollywood stars to speak openly about her struggles with addiction. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
She spoke about her experience of going through rehab so for many | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
people she will be remembered as a feminist icon but also a mental | :02:20. | :02:31. | |
health figure. Very fond treatment of the death of someone who is much | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
loved across the world. Relatively young, like George Michael, who was | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
53, she was 60. I wonder whether when we hear these stories, yes, | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
they are iconic, it will be impactful too fans, the Star Wars | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
fans, to George Michael music fans. But the fact, 53, 60, I think people | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
find these less explicable than... You are talking about people who of | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
a horrible year for celebrities. What they had in common was that | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
creative but troubled souls, in a way? And the fact they spoke | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
publicly about that no doubt would have helped many people come to | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
terms with their own struggle. It is a bit of a cliche but at the time | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
when those two were doing it, it was something that was not done. Those | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
with things he did not talk about. Carrie Fisher, in particular, just | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
her spirit, her ability to come he knew to be a funny and controversial | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
and interesting person. The complete opposite of the bland movie star. | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
With George Michael as well. It was lovely to find out about the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
altruistic acts that he was doing, charities, and money he gave away. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
It is really interesting, you kind of learned something behind the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
public face, behind the trouble and I suspect that will be the case with | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
Carrie Fisher as well. Personal stories that we may think, rather | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
guiltily that are not experience. The main front-page headline here, a | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
crackdown on rip-off charges for electric cars. One of the government | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
big push us is to get people to drive more low emission cars by | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
2020. But there is a disparity in terms of charging and the rules | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
about charging electric cars around the house. 90% are charged at home | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
but the problems people have is when they are further away from home, | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
some of these charges could reach 7.50 and find this fascinating, at | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
least 93 pricing accommodations are used in a different charge polls are | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
round the country. I loved the story because of their recognising | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
something stopped the target was to have 9% of low emission vehicles by | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
2020 now reports suggest that the way we are going it will be 7% and, | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
listen, statistics and figures aside, wouldn't it be brilliant as | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
well as getting capital cities with congestion charges, getting | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
incentive to get fuel free. A name for where you are worried about | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
whether the car is going to get from point now to point B it is called | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
range anxiety. Not enough charging point is one of the issues? It says | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
there are 11,000 public charging points in Britain... Which isn't | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
very many... There are actually significantly more than petrol | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
stations are relatively. It takes longer to charge a car... But those | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
charging point would not be surprised if they are concentrated | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
in the city. If you are in the countryside, you could find a sock | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
in difficulty. Frankly, my view is the government does not want to | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
invest in the infrastructure and spend money on it. They will have to | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
because with all sorts of insurance is, reducing emissions, we are going | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
to see those generous purchase fees. We are going to have to see that | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
because otherwise these diesel vehicles are going to carry on being | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
bought and government will have to Shell out money for not being as | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
green. The Telegraph have got the Armed Forces facing new cuts and | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
apparently because of the new pound? They have been under pressure right | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
from 2010 when the coalition government came into force. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Obviously several things have changed since then... Brexit. The | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
pound is much weaker and a lot of American equipment now costs a lot | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
more money. There are other pressures. The government came up | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
and said that we are funding the Armed Forces properly or the next | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
ten years. When you look behind the figures is what they have done is | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
taken out pension commitments, US peacekeeping costs and they have | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
dumped it elsewhere. It was creative counting by the government. The | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Armed Forces would told they were getting more money but they were | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
hidden extras. And now the settlement given by the government | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
in the STS are, means that last year and this year they have not been | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
getting the money they were promised and they may be in financial | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
squeeze. Military costs money and they do not feel they are getting | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
the money. They are saying invest more and protect the nation. The | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
Telegraph have a story about potential peers, Dippel nominated | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
for a peerage -- people, should be given an interview to test their | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
suitability. Literally hundreds of people being nominated, be they do | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
know is, aides to senior politicians, almost a little piece | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
of living offers a reward. Remember cash for honours stop Theresa May's | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
ethics adviser... I think that is what they are being called... Is | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
saying we need to have a seat down, a jolly good chat, a cup of coffee | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
and work out whether they are suitable. Do you want the title or | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
would you be better off buying one of those titles of the Internet. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Wrinkly, if somebody is donating a lot of money to a political party | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
and in return they are receiving a peerage, I would suggest it is | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
tantamount to little more than bribery. What about the unions and | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
the Labour Party? State funding. There are not any other options. | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
There are. Since there is not the electoral system which many people | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
criticise any way, ultimately, it should erratically be the upper | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
house of the UK Parliament... Parliament is... Lets face it back | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
on King Charles I who lost his head therefore the Queen has lost her | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
right to have a say. The House of Lords is more or less having to | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
rubberstamp things because they are stuck in there in the first place. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
They go through a screen each process are ready. But if you want | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
to sit and have a chat with them, they have to have some understanding | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
of the Constitution. Look, we need to separate honours from | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
legislation. What we do it like the state... That is too complicated. | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
And we do not have time to discuss that. The Daily Mail, health curse | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
of the middle-aged. Tony, I not looking at you. You are not even | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
middle-aged, I know that. 80%, they say are overweight, lazy or drink | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
too much. Thank you for that, by the way. These are shocking figures. 80% | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
of people in your age group... Thank you for that! 77% of men are | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
overweight. That alone is a public health crisis coming down the track | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
for the NHS. Then in diabetes. Only 13% of men and with 1% of women are | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
normal weight, physically active and do not treat too much. The problem | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
is these warnings have been issued before and no one has taken notice. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
These people will end up having extremely unhealthy periods in the | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
latter part of their lives. It is a concern for the NHS, social care | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
cost an across-the-board. Seeing headlines like these, we have seen | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
them, but no one seems to be listening. Again, frankly, if you | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
look at all the headlines, what is interesting about the paper review | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
tonight is that all the papers have gone on the same story including | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
this public health story. This is not new news. There is a quiet | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
period where it is likely to get splashed on the papers. The cost of | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
the NHS, the future of the nation but ultimately what do you do to | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
persuade people. Do you say it is the job of the state to enforce that | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
on people which is a little bit 1984... Sorry, if you are going to | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
have a health service... It is another debate we cannot get into | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
because we only have one minute for the last story in the financial | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
time, high it executive pay and good performance. Apparently, the link is | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
negligible? Is that a surprise? No. The idea of performance related pay | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
within big organisations as was be difficult to prove. They have strove | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
not to try to make that direct correlation. Basically, it says that | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
over a decade, pay rises have gone up 80% for CEOs but 1% in terms of | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
performance. It seems we are not getting a good return for the | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
investment. I think I would say we are in a more competitive | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
environment now and if you pay peanuts... I do not have the finish | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
that sentence. You cannot underpay people. The market rate has gone up. | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
A bag of sugar has cost a lot more. My view is that if you're going to | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
raise the pay, you should also be increasing the pay for people that | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
actually work in the company. We have run out of time. Health issues, | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
constitutional issues... We got through the papers. Thank you. That | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
is it from the papers. Many thanks for joining us. That is all for us. | :14:36. | :14:37. |
