:00:00. > :00:00.in 25 matches. Andy Murray takes on Roger Federer tomorrow morning. And

:00:00. > :00:00.news of Manchester City cruising into the League Cup final, all in

:00:07. > :00:18.Sportsday after the Papers in about 15 minutes' time.

:00:19. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:26. > :00:28.us tomorrow, with me Martin Bentham of the Evening Standard and

:00:29. > :00:33.broadcaster Daisy McAndrew, welcome to both of you. Tomorrow's front

:00:34. > :00:37.pages, then, starting with the Telegraph, saying that thousands of

:00:38. > :00:42.patients suffering from cancer are being denied the drugs they need

:00:43. > :00:46.from the NHS. The metro lead story, three Tottenham Hotspur fans being

:00:47. > :00:50.charged for using racially abusive language. The express says a new

:00:51. > :00:54.treatment soon to be available on the NHS could help Britain's 10

:00:55. > :00:59.million migraine sufferers. China's offshore secrets revealed,

:01:00. > :01:02.that the headline on the front of the Guardian. The Daily Mail is

:01:03. > :01:08.reporting on a 16-year-old student who died after taking ecstasy at a

:01:09. > :01:11.party in London. And the Times are saying Theresa May is in a stand-off

:01:12. > :01:17.with Downing Street over stop and search powers used by police. It

:01:18. > :01:20.also pictures the fold of champion racehorse wrangle under the caption,

:01:21. > :01:25.million dollar baby. -- Frankel. We will begin with the Daily

:01:26. > :01:30.Telegraph, the story about the NHS and the lottery of NHS drugs is the

:01:31. > :01:35.headline, punishing the dying. Martin, this is the idea that not

:01:36. > :01:40.everybody who needs the drugs is getting them. Yes, and the story

:01:41. > :01:45.here is about the body NICE which regulates drugs and decides whether

:01:46. > :01:47.they are cost effective or not. Sometimes there are controversies

:01:48. > :01:52.because they do not license things because they are too expensive, but

:01:53. > :01:57.on this occasion all of these drugs have been approved by them, and yet

:01:58. > :02:04.the report suggests that 14,000 patients per year are not receiving

:02:05. > :02:09.them. Various other drugs are involved. It is suggesting it is a

:02:10. > :02:14.postcode lottery that different trusts, health trusts, are allowing

:02:15. > :02:19.people to have these drugs, others aren't, and again it raises this

:02:20. > :02:21.debate about resources in the NHS. What we don't we have in this

:02:22. > :02:27.story, I think, is an explanation from the trusts that are not giving

:02:28. > :02:30.it to people, why that is. I think they are reading between the lines,

:02:31. > :02:36.these as patient will be that these are very, very expensive drugs, and

:02:37. > :02:38.most of the patients who are not receiving these drugs are terminally

:02:39. > :02:42.ill. Therefore, of course, the suspicion is that in some way these

:02:43. > :02:45.trusts don't see these patients was worth the money and worth the

:02:46. > :02:50.investment, because brutally they are going to die anyway. We have had

:02:51. > :02:54.this many times, this accusation that terminally ill patients, the

:02:55. > :02:58.matter what they are suffering with, don't get the treatment that, as

:02:59. > :03:01.Martin said, organisations like NICE have stipulated that they should be

:03:02. > :03:05.getting. In some of these cases, with these very serious cancers,

:03:06. > :03:09.yes, it is not going to save their life, but they could double their

:03:10. > :03:13.life span from it, and they are not getting the treatment. NICE was set

:03:14. > :03:16.up with the intention of getting away from the postcode lottery,

:03:17. > :03:19.something should be available across the board. I suppose the trouble is

:03:20. > :03:25.you still get to that basic debate, don't you, about the use of

:03:26. > :03:28.resources? Each health trust will have the man is on its resources,

:03:29. > :03:34.different numbers of people being treated in A and so on, so each

:03:35. > :03:41.one has its and -- as its own dilemmas. Nobody wants to see... How

:03:42. > :03:44.much is one drug were compared to smaller treatments to me I suppose

:03:45. > :03:49.people want to see transparency, and they want to understand the wise and

:03:50. > :03:55.wherefores. A lot of charities are saying that the problem is that even

:03:56. > :03:58.when patients do know that these drugs exist, and many times they

:03:59. > :04:02.have never heard of them, these patients are in the most traumatic

:04:03. > :04:04.period of their life, and the last thing they feel like doing is

:04:05. > :04:09.fighting a bureaucracy when they want to be positive and looking

:04:10. > :04:11.after family members. It is a terrible story. Also on the front of

:04:12. > :04:16.the Allograft, an interesting question posed in the headline, is

:04:17. > :04:23.collect's angry wife behind his battle with Rennard? -- the

:04:24. > :04:30.Telegraph. There are plenty of angry women who are angry with Nick Clegg

:04:31. > :04:33.for the way he has handled the Lord Rennard story. I worked with Chris

:04:34. > :04:38.Rennard in a very small team for two years. I am rather long in the

:04:39. > :04:47.truth, we are going back many years, this was up to the 1991 election,

:04:48. > :04:51.1999-2001 election, and my experience of him was as an

:04:52. > :04:57.extremely nice, caring, important and well respected man. He was very

:04:58. > :05:02.powerful, and everybody looked up to him, and everybody knew that, you

:05:03. > :05:06.know, this was a man who could make a big difference. I never, either

:05:07. > :05:11.personally or heard rumours about any of his alleged bad behaviour.

:05:12. > :05:16.Now, I'm not saying that the allegations are not true, I simply

:05:17. > :05:20.have no idea, but the way that the party has handled it has been an

:05:21. > :05:25.absolute dogs dinner. -- dog's dinner. What about this question, is

:05:26. > :05:30.it just allowing the question to sit there? It does rather do that,

:05:31. > :05:35.suggesting that she has been left furious, but not actually explaining

:05:36. > :05:40.how they know this. Obviously, these ideas go around, people here

:05:41. > :05:43.things, and that may well be the case, she is very much standing up

:05:44. > :05:48.for woman in all the things she does, Miriam Clegg, so it would not

:05:49. > :05:55.be surprising that you took that view, but we haven't actually heard

:05:56. > :05:58.it direct from the horse's mouth. Going back to your dog's dinner, how

:05:59. > :06:02.do they get out of it? Leadership is a very difficult business,

:06:03. > :06:07.especially when you are faced with something like this, and I do think

:06:08. > :06:10.that Nick Clegg was dammed if he did and dammed if he didn't. These were

:06:11. > :06:13.serious allegations from women who were themselves respected within the

:06:14. > :06:17.party, certainly they have to be listened to, and the internal

:06:18. > :06:20.workings of the Lib Dems are so ridiculously convoluted and

:06:21. > :06:26.complicated that they have really tied Nick Clegg's hands behind his

:06:27. > :06:30.back, and he has not been able to do what most leaders in a modern

:06:31. > :06:34.democracy should be able to do, which is kind of, in some ways, what

:06:35. > :06:37.he wants in order to create stability in order to send that

:06:38. > :06:41.message down. So there was a problem there, and funnily enough, Chris

:06:42. > :06:44.Rennard was one of the people that I often heard the moaning the

:06:45. > :06:49.ridiculous constitution that the Lib Dems add, whereby they had all these

:06:50. > :06:53.reports and so many chiefs, so many chiefs rather than just one cheap.

:06:54. > :06:59.Where he goes from here... Watch the next few days! The High Court, by

:07:00. > :07:04.the sound of its! Very expensive lawyers and very high profile

:07:05. > :07:09.coverage. The Metro has a story which does appear any De Graaf as

:07:10. > :07:16.well, the Y word. -- in the Telegraph. This is three Tottenham

:07:17. > :07:20.fans being charged for using the word Yid, it is a subject of

:07:21. > :07:23.controversy, because Tottenham fans have this chance because of their

:07:24. > :07:28.association with Jewish supporters of the club. They see it,

:07:29. > :07:34.apparently, as something that is self mocking. They say it is a word

:07:35. > :07:38.they have taken ownership of. Exactly, it was chatter that there,

:07:39. > :07:44.with some hatred, and they have turned it around. -- chanted at

:07:45. > :07:47.them. The FA have said it is inappropriate and might be offensive

:07:48. > :07:51.to some people. David Cameron got involved and said he thought, in

:07:52. > :07:55.essence, that it was acceptable if it was used in a self mocking way

:07:56. > :08:00.and should only be prosecuted as an offence if it was inciting hatred.

:08:01. > :08:05.Obviously, we don't know the context of this, it will be thrashed out in

:08:06. > :08:11.court. I have sympathy with David Cameron's point of view, because I

:08:12. > :08:15.think a word like that surely has to be either given with hate or

:08:16. > :08:20.received with beer, but if it is neither received with beer, as in

:08:21. > :08:24.Glenn Hoddle and Les Ferdinand, the two most celebrated as both players

:08:25. > :08:28.ever, they are bombarded with the word when they come on as a form of

:08:29. > :08:34.adulation. It is very, very difficult, and as you said, it is

:08:35. > :08:42.their word, they should do what they want with it. On the other and, it

:08:43. > :08:47.is not nice in many other contexts. Troenks events in Syria in the

:08:48. > :08:54.Guardian. Killings in Syria could be the tip of the iceberg. That's when

:08:55. > :08:59.of the fears we have heard today. This may not be the whole story?

:09:00. > :09:03.Exactly. The story here points out that Syrian activists say an

:09:04. > :09:06.estimated 50,000 detainees are unaccounted for, so that obviously

:09:07. > :09:12.adds another 40,000 even if 11,000 were among those 50,000 and yet the

:09:13. > :09:16.numbers could be almost incalculable. It's an absolutely

:09:17. > :09:21.grim and gruesome story. The story unfortunately is that it makes the

:09:22. > :09:24.prospects of any settlement, any agreement, from the start of the

:09:25. > :09:29.Geneva talks tomorrow, even more remote. It didn't look very

:09:30. > :09:34.promising even before this came out with the talks starting with many of

:09:35. > :09:39.the combatants not participating and it makes it all the more difficult

:09:40. > :09:42.and the killings may go on unfortunately. Killing does happen

:09:43. > :09:47.in wars but this is something quite different. They refer to these as

:09:48. > :09:51.torture centres. Most would think of them as concentration camps. Many

:09:52. > :09:57.people are drawing comparisons with Belsen and Auschwitz which will send

:09:58. > :10:02.a shiver down the spine of any politician thinking, how on earth do

:10:03. > :10:05.we deal with this if it's on that scale of atrocity and also, how can

:10:06. > :10:08.we not do something if it's on that scale?

:10:09. > :10:12.Let's move to the front of the Daily Mail. This story has provoked an

:10:13. > :10:18.interesting series of talking boys on BBC News today. A generation of

:10:19. > :10:23.men still living with their parents. Daisy, we are told this is to do

:10:24. > :10:27.with economics and a whole array of other factors as well? It's to do

:10:28. > :10:31.with tuition fees, the cost of your first home. I was reading average

:10:32. > :10:37.costs of a first home has jumped from ?50,000 in 1996 perhaps when we

:10:38. > :10:42.were looking to buy our first home, not saying we are all that old, it's

:10:43. > :10:46.nearly ?200,000 now. You know, I've often reported that a first time

:10:47. > :10:50.buyer can't get their deposit together until an average age of 36.

:10:51. > :10:56.I worry. I was in a fortunate position when in my first job that I

:10:57. > :11:01.could live with my parents because my parents lived in London that.

:11:02. > :11:04.Gave me an immediate advantage over all the other young people of my age

:11:05. > :11:10.whose parents didn't live in London. You have to have a north -- you have

:11:11. > :11:16.a north south divide and an urban rural divide. That schism is going

:11:17. > :11:20.to get bigger and bigger. The old idea of people getting on their bike

:11:21. > :11:26.to move jobs is already completely flawed for the same reason. It's

:11:27. > :11:32.difficult. We have this problem with internships that people have to work

:11:33. > :11:37.for nothing to get their foot in the door. Bank of Mum and dad. Yes, the

:11:38. > :11:43.figures hardly reflect the impacts of those things. That's just at the

:11:44. > :11:45.very start of it. If anything, the situation's going to get worse

:11:46. > :11:51.because prices are going up of housing, debts are increasing for

:11:52. > :11:54.young people and it's grave concern to all parents actually, never mind

:11:55. > :12:01.the children. Quite! It's a big issue that people don't want to see.

:12:02. > :12:05.They generally hope their children have a better future than they do,

:12:06. > :12:09.not a worse one that. 's a big issue of concern for a lot of people. It's

:12:10. > :12:15.interesting that it's significantly statistically more men than women

:12:16. > :12:19.and in the old days we might say that's because women are moving in

:12:20. > :12:23.with their house houses -- hiss and getting married. -- Husbands and

:12:24. > :12:25.getting married. It makes me wonder whether they just want their laundry

:12:26. > :12:30.done! Worried about the Lang Juan of --

:12:31. > :12:37.language of politics. Stop the hate, your thoughts on this? She's a young

:12:38. > :12:43.MP, exactly my age. I don't want to bang on about age but we are coming

:12:44. > :12:50.back to Tory party, the party of hate and she's called Nicky Morgan,

:12:51. > :12:55.a Treasury Minister electd two years ago at the last election, and this

:12:56. > :12:59.is still the issue that I think the Tory party hasn't dealt with

:13:00. > :13:05.properly. A positive message she's saying? Yes, she's talking about

:13:06. > :13:13.might raying, welfare and the European Union and so on, although

:13:14. > :13:14.in most of those areas, they are in tune with the public, so I wonder

:13:15. > :13:23.about that. She said we need to be more positive, although I also

:13:24. > :13:24.think, talking about the things we are doing positively, which is an

:13:25. > :13:36.echo about the Theresa May argument about the nasty party. But the

:13:37. > :13:37.economic message is that the country is doing well and Labour has this

:13:38. > :13:45.issue as well that they are trying to say what people aren't doing so

:13:46. > :13:46.well. People don't like to hear negative messages necessarily. Apart

:13:47. > :13:47.from in elections. Yes. We'll return to that no doubt in an hour's time.

:13:48. > :13:53.That's it for this hour. Thank you both very much.

:13:54. > :13:53.Back at 11. 30 for another look at the stories making the news

:13:54. > :13:56.tomorrow. We'll have the latest on the shocking images smuggled out of

:13:57. > :13:59.Syria which war crimes expert says is evidence of systematic killing, a

:14:00. > :14:12.day ahead of the critical talks. Coming up next, Sportsday.

:14:13. > :14:23.Welcome to Sportsday with me Will Perry. The headlines:

:14:24. > :14:24.9-0 on aggregate. Manchester City despatch
