:00:00. > 3:59:59We will have the latest from Sydney, where they could be three debutants
:00:00. > :00:21.in the side. Welcome to a look ahead at what the
:00:22. > :00:25.papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me as Sam Coates, Deputy
:00:26. > :00:33.political editor at the Times and Robert Fox, the defence editor at
:00:34. > :00:40.the London Evening Standard. The Express has more on the severe
:00:41. > :00:45.weather expected over the weekend. The Financial Times reflects on
:00:46. > :00:51.poorer festive sales, calling it a Christmas sea of red.
:00:52. > :00:54.The Daily Telegraph says government cuts to the Environment Agency could
:00:55. > :00:59.leave homes exposed to flooding. The Independent reports on many
:01:00. > :01:03.university vice chancellors receiving 8% pay rises despite
:01:04. > :01:08.lecturers receiving just 1%. Margaret Thatcher secretly preparing
:01:09. > :01:13.to deploy the army and declare a state of emergency in response to
:01:14. > :01:24.the miners strike. Cameras at bus lanes and boxed ulcers are -- box
:01:25. > :01:32.junction are costing hundreds of thousands of pounds for commuters.
:01:33. > :01:36.A third of doctors believe that charging ?10 per visit would cut the
:01:37. > :01:44.number of urgent cases. -- nonurgent.
:01:45. > :01:51.Would that stop people turning up when we have got an interim toenail?
:01:52. > :01:55.This seems like an idea that we have put on the back of a prescription
:01:56. > :02:01.pad when they were getting together at the GP conference. I do not mean
:02:02. > :02:08.to sound so facetious, but I have not seen the story in that. How on
:02:09. > :02:17.earth are they going to do this? The GPs say that they are worried that
:02:18. > :02:23.routine referrals, we know that they are being used for non- emergency
:02:24. > :02:31.treatment and consultation. That is where you have to start. Physician,
:02:32. > :02:37.heal thyself. It is the problem of the GP system. I do not think a
:02:38. > :02:45.charge would change that at all. But there is the idea that someone books
:02:46. > :02:52.and appointment, there would be a rest -- retrospective charge. The
:02:53. > :02:55.great problem with the NHS system at the moment is because it is free at
:02:56. > :03:05.point of use, how do you make sure that people go to the right point of
:03:06. > :03:13.entry? There are trying to make you stop getting appointments. People
:03:14. > :03:26.have been drifting to a and E surgeries. Particularly at weekends.
:03:27. > :03:36.Particularly at weekends. A lot of people rock up a drunk on a Saturday
:03:37. > :03:43.night. It is a problem that Jeremy Hunt has actively tried to deal
:03:44. > :03:49.with. A lot of areas have out of hours services contracted to private
:03:50. > :03:53.suppliers. They have an operator who will refer you to a doctor who will
:03:54. > :04:00.call you back. It makes sense if you have a child, to take them to the
:04:01. > :04:06.local hospital. One of the other suggestions as if you are quite hard
:04:07. > :04:17.up you might be put off going to the hospital at all. It is quite likely.
:04:18. > :04:25.As Sam was saying, it is the referral system that is at the heart
:04:26. > :04:34.of this. It is so conflict and difficult. But he did not need to be
:04:35. > :04:41.referred. The ID would be to put people off from going because there
:04:42. > :04:46.is a charge. It is such a meshed problem. So many ways of how people
:04:47. > :04:52.engage with the NHS at the moment. Let us look at the Daily Telegraph.
:04:53. > :05:00.Delays may scupper the EU bill. This is the Conservative party bill. It
:05:01. > :05:04.is being put through as a private members bill that the Conservatives
:05:05. > :05:12.hope would make sure it never wins the general election, there would be
:05:13. > :05:18.a referendum on how we are part of the EU in the future. We are
:05:19. > :05:23.starting the conversation that is going to be happening all year.
:05:24. > :05:36.David Cameron and the Tories ahead of the European elections in May. It
:05:37. > :05:40.is a private members bill that would commit a referendum on our
:05:41. > :05:46.membership in 2017. Some people are saying that this is not going to
:05:47. > :05:50.become law. That is a problem with David Cameron. A lot of his own
:05:51. > :05:56.backbenchers said that he might duck out after the next election. The
:05:57. > :06:01.fact that it could collapse is causing yet another problem for him
:06:02. > :06:09.in times of party discipline. What if he just said, I tried? He is in a
:06:10. > :06:18.hard place. Europe is a hot button issue and it has been for a long
:06:19. > :06:22.time. One of the criteria when you are looking at a prospective
:06:23. > :06:33.candidate is where you stand on Europe. The workers in the
:06:34. > :06:42.constituencies are really worried about the UKIP factor. This is not
:06:43. > :06:48.my area, but it does seem to me that where they are manoeuvring in
:06:49. > :06:56.relation to UKIP is terribly important. It is going to be long
:06:57. > :07:03.and strung out. Eventually there are going to come up hard in Europe
:07:04. > :07:10.itself. There are problems. Isn't there anything the whips can do? The
:07:11. > :07:23.Conservative party apparatus, to get it through? This is about the number
:07:24. > :07:32.of amendments that can be put down. There simply is not enough time. It
:07:33. > :07:36.is not going to happen. Is this going to be indicative of the kind
:07:37. > :07:41.of you that David Cameron is going to face? I am afraid so. It is
:07:42. > :07:54.something that David Cameron has tried to park. But so many do not
:07:55. > :07:58.trust him. They are going to keep picking away. And there is the fear
:07:59. > :08:03.that UKIP is going to slice out of its in every constituency, thereby
:08:04. > :08:09.handing a lot of seats to labour, people are wondering if they have to
:08:10. > :08:20.do more. Let us move on and talk about your article in the Times. It
:08:21. > :08:25.is not surprise. Voters trust that society is collapsing. You have
:08:26. > :08:30.spoken to reform the Liberal Democrat leader. He thinks that our
:08:31. > :08:36.trust in our key institutions is crumbling into dust. He is saying
:08:37. > :08:41.that people are unhappy with politics, that is well-known. But
:08:42. > :08:45.what they have seen over the past few years is a collapse in the
:08:46. > :08:53.reputation of these of society that people have become dependent on. He
:08:54. > :09:00.names bankers, journalist, the NHS, the BBC. Some of the quotes he uses
:09:01. > :09:05.are quite fruity stuff. The BBC cannot manage its own affairs. The
:09:06. > :09:13.NHS is failing rate down to the level of doctors. It is pretty
:09:14. > :09:21.difficult stuff. He says he is quite surprised there has not been more
:09:22. > :09:25.public protest on the streets. I am not predicting more common but I
:09:26. > :09:28.would not be surprised if people came out because they did not feel
:09:29. > :09:34.that the democratic process has satisfied to their demands. His
:09:35. > :09:37.argument goes on that if there is a collapse in our trust of these
:09:38. > :09:43.institutions, the temptation for some people is to look for simple
:09:44. > :09:48.answer is in places that mainstream politics would find distasteful, the
:09:49. > :09:56.far right, maybe. It is quite an established theme. But he seems to
:09:57. > :10:02.have switched over to the save wavelength of the author of the
:10:03. > :10:09.revelations of St John the Divine. He sees things in apocalyptic terms.
:10:10. > :10:13.It is a very strange statement for a Liberal Democrat strategist to be
:10:14. > :10:22.making at this time. It is a extreme. The language, I mean. He is
:10:23. > :10:29.a former leader, a member of the House of Lords. He does not need to
:10:30. > :10:35.face an electorate in 2015. He thinks he can say stuff that Nick
:10:36. > :10:44.Clegg cannot. He says this in a blender reform. But this man thinks
:10:45. > :10:48.he can see it in a more robust way. But some people think he has gone
:10:49. > :10:53.over the top. Take away the colourful language, has he got
:10:54. > :11:00.point? He has got half a point. People are worried. But what you do
:11:01. > :11:05.not do is fanned the flames. I have shared conferences with him. He
:11:06. > :11:14.always goes on about the need for world governments. He is going to be
:11:15. > :11:18.part of the planet that we do not normally inhabit in political
:11:19. > :11:27.discussion. The rate of it is unfortunate. That is why he get
:11:28. > :11:36.invited. Something you should watch, he looks at simplistic answers. The
:11:37. > :11:43.very interesting that he links UKIP and the conservative movement in
:11:44. > :11:54.France. Let us move on and look at the Daily Mail. It is on the front
:11:55. > :12:00.page. On Page two, sorry, page eight, the education secretary
:12:01. > :12:06.writing about how he feels that the left wing myths are undermining what
:12:07. > :12:11.the First World War was really about. Whether it should have been
:12:12. > :12:18.fought and what it achieved. Blasting Blackadder which many
:12:19. > :12:25.people enjoyed. Essentially being a coward that that the whole thing was
:12:26. > :12:29.a shambles. I'd though it does not bring his belt, that story, but we
:12:30. > :12:43.are going to get a lot of it this year. -- when -- ring his bell. The
:12:44. > :12:48.battle lines are being drawn. You are getting a group of right-wing
:12:49. > :12:53.and conservative historians saying the poets that are core to the
:12:54. > :13:01.curricula of ceremony of our schools are wrong. They were defeatists.
:13:02. > :13:06.Michael Gove is lumping them together. The sense of futility that
:13:07. > :13:14.you get from these people, it really informed things. It was an extremely
:13:15. > :13:22.carefully thought out comedy that had a profound message. It is like a
:13:23. > :13:30.schoolboy writing a sixth form SA. It is the conservative historians
:13:31. > :13:40.against the historians. He calls out several historians he lacks. --
:13:41. > :13:44.likes. He picks up one of my favourites, Margaret Miller, who has
:13:45. > :13:50.written one of the outstanding books on the outbreak of the war. She has
:13:51. > :13:56.been speaking at literary conferences. She says it was an
:13:57. > :14:02.unnecessary war. Why could they not have stopped it? It is being
:14:03. > :14:12.recruited for politics and a sad way. There is a lot of context that
:14:13. > :14:18.is fascinating. I am fascinated by the politics of it as well. Michael
:14:19. > :14:23.Gove is good at tickling the Tory party base. This goes well, attacks
:14:24. > :14:32.on the left wing. Attacks on historians and features. --
:14:33. > :14:39.teachers. A lot of Tory activists love this stuff. It is not
:14:40. > :14:44.surprising. It will go down well with sections of the Tory party. It
:14:45. > :14:47.is something he feels passionate about. Some feel find it distasteful
:14:48. > :15:08.that it is being politicised in this way. One of the interesting things
:15:09. > :15:16.is the impact on relationships with Germany. We have got quite a pointed
:15:17. > :15:26.attack. That is all we have time for. You are warming to your theme.
:15:27. > :15:35.It is about military. Of course it can talk for hours. Another time.
:15:36. > :15:41.The papers for this evening. Sam Coates, Robert Fox, thank you very
:15:42. > :16:00.much. Stay with us on BBC News. More severe weather on the way. Coming up
:16:01. > :16:02.next, Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm Lizzie
:16:03. > :16:04.Greenwood-Hughes. The headlines this evening: Hoping to avoiding a
:16:05. > :16:06.whitewash - England make big changes for the final Ashes Test in Sydney
