:00:00. > :00:00.latest from Lewis Hamilton and the crash he had interesting today.
:00:00. > :00:23.That's all from Sportsday in 15 minutes after the papers.
:00:24. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:27. > :00:28.bringing us tomorrow. With me are Peter Kellner, chairman of the
:00:29. > :00:31.pollster Yougov, and political commentator Lance Price. Let's have
:00:32. > :00:36.a look at some of the pages now. The Independent features a picture of
:00:37. > :00:39.flood water on the Somerset Levels. The caption says "how Defra ignored
:00:40. > :00:45.the warnings of flood disaster to save money". The paper also has the
:00:46. > :00:49.latest from the phone hacking trial. The front page of the Telegraph
:00:50. > :00:51.shows a picture of France's former first lady Valerie Trierweiler in
:00:52. > :00:55.India.The paper leads though on its report that the number of elderly
:00:56. > :00:58.patients having to go into A - has doubled in five years - because of a
:00:59. > :01:01.lack of confidence in out-of-hours GPs. The paper leads on the report
:01:02. > :01:04.that the number of elderly patients going into A has doubled in the
:01:05. > :01:09.last five years was of a lack of confidence in GPs.
:01:10. > :01:11.The Financial Times leads on revelations from Barclays bank that
:01:12. > :01:19.its chief executive intends closing a quarter of its UK branches. The
:01:20. > :01:22.whole front page of the Daily Mail is dedicated to the outrage being
:01:23. > :01:24.felt by flood victims who feel they've been abandoned to the
:01:25. > :01:27.elements by officials. The Metro reports that drinking too much
:01:28. > :01:32.increases your risk of developing a particularly deadly form of skin
:01:33. > :01:36.cancer. A strong image on the cover of the Guardian of an Afghan child
:01:37. > :01:38.refugee - it's lead story, though, reports that MPs have received legal
:01:39. > :01:42.advice warning that mass spying programmes by GCHQ are "probably
:01:43. > :01:44.illegal". Finally, the Daily Mirror claims Scotland Yard detectives
:01:45. > :01:54.investigation the Madeleine McCann abduction are set to arrest three
:01:55. > :02:01.men. We are going to start with the
:02:02. > :02:06.Independent. The stories about the Syrian refugees, and there was
:02:07. > :02:17.pressure building on the Government but even Nigel Farage. Yes, over
:02:18. > :02:25.Christmas he said he thought Britain should take its share. The Deputy
:02:26. > :02:32.Prime Minister is trailing the story. Whether it will take its
:02:33. > :02:37.share, I think we are taking a share, a pretty small share compared
:02:38. > :02:41.to some of our European partners, which is not to take away from the
:02:42. > :02:45.efforts that the UK government are quite rightly making to help
:02:46. > :02:49.refugees in the region, and a lot of the refugees are better helped in
:02:50. > :02:54.the region rather than taking them out, and that is great but there are
:02:55. > :02:59.those very vulnerable ones who have to be taken out of the region and
:03:00. > :03:02.helped. It just disappoints me that the whole debate about immigration
:03:03. > :03:07.in this country makes it difficult for the Government even to concede
:03:08. > :03:14.this much. Is there any polling on this, given the toxic debate about
:03:15. > :03:19.immigration at the moment? What are the public think about Syrian
:03:20. > :03:24.refugees coming here? We polled this last week and we found that people
:03:25. > :03:31.on balance don't want Syrian refugees here, but by a narrower
:03:32. > :03:36.margin than any other. I think in reality people will not be appalled
:03:37. > :03:41.when it happens, and a couple of days ago David Cameron said actually
:03:42. > :03:45.it looks like not many Romanians and Bulgarians are coming here, and the
:03:46. > :03:51.big immigration issue from the last few weeks has been about the EU
:03:52. > :03:54.rules allowing any Romanian and Bulgarian coming to Britain, and
:03:55. > :03:58.people saying we will be flooded with them, it's not happening. I
:03:59. > :04:04.just wondered with the lack of flooding of people from Romania and
:04:05. > :04:08.Bulgaria, and a pretty principal response by the Government supported
:04:09. > :04:13.by the Lib Dems and the Labour Party, a real cross-party consensus
:04:14. > :04:20.that we do need to do something about the Syrian refugees, maybe we
:04:21. > :04:25.are moving into a more adult conversation about immigration than
:04:26. > :04:33.we were a few months ago. That would be refreshing! And I wonder if
:04:34. > :04:37.you'll all is simply forces the parties into acting. Remember what
:04:38. > :04:41.happened to the Gurkhas and Joanna Lumley a few years ago, people were
:04:42. > :04:46.on the side of the Gurkhas having rights here, and I remember a Tory
:04:47. > :04:52.MP down in Dorset who got into a dreadful mess about somebody being
:04:53. > :04:55.thrown out, and the locals dead, actually this person may have
:04:56. > :05:00.technically broken a rule but we like him. When you get into specific
:05:01. > :05:06.groups and specific people, the debate changes. As you said, Lance,
:05:07. > :05:11.Nigel Farage showed how nuanced this argument is by coming out in favour
:05:12. > :05:21.of the Government bringing in some Syrian refugees. That announcement
:05:22. > :05:25.is due tomorrow in full. Let's pick -- stick with the Independent and
:05:26. > :05:31.the foam packing trial. Andy Coulson is linked to this because he
:05:32. > :05:36.apparently listened to one particular message in his time as
:05:37. > :05:41.editor. Of course we have to be very careful, this is an ongoing trial,
:05:42. > :05:46.Andy Coulson has pleaded not guilty and we are long way from hearing all
:05:47. > :05:50.of the evidence, let alone getting a verdict of the jewellery, but at the
:05:51. > :05:59.heart of this Andy Coulson was not just the editor of the News Of The
:06:00. > :06:04.World these allegations referred to, when he became the Prime Minister's
:06:05. > :06:09.press secretary, so Andy Coulson is in the dock but in the background
:06:10. > :06:14.David Cameron's reputation is sort of in the dock with him. When it has
:06:15. > :06:20.been a dramatic day, it forces its way onto the front page. It looks
:06:21. > :06:23.like the prosecution case will be wrapped up by the end of this week
:06:24. > :06:28.and the beginning of next week, and we will hear the defence of Andy
:06:29. > :06:33.Coulson. Yes, what is interesting here is that the person who has
:06:34. > :06:36.given this evidence that has been difficult for Andy Coulson has
:06:37. > :06:41.himself pleaded guilty, and therefore is giving evidence in that
:06:42. > :06:49.way, but what it shows is... Peter is right to say that David
:06:50. > :06:53.Cameron's judgement is in the dock but so is the whole reputation of
:06:54. > :06:57.journalism and certainly tabloid journalism, and if you look at the
:06:58. > :07:01.pressure on this particular journalist to come up with a story
:07:02. > :07:07.that would shift newspapers off supermarket shelves, it is
:07:08. > :07:11.interesting, we come onto this programme to talk about the front
:07:12. > :07:19.pages. Newspaper sales are dropping but somehow the papers like the Sun
:07:20. > :07:22.and the other newspapers are still managing to fill their pages and we
:07:23. > :07:28.don't necessarily have to have a diet of celebrity divorces. Debates
:07:29. > :07:35.about press regulation have not ended and I think it is bound to be
:07:36. > :07:39.explicit if not implicitly backwash from this trial into the ongoing
:07:40. > :07:46.debate about the role of Parliament or not in the future of press
:07:47. > :07:50.regulation. Andy Coulson, Rebekah Brooks and seven others all deny the
:07:51. > :07:57.charges being levelled against them. Let's go to the Telegraph, the
:07:58. > :08:03.scandal elderly forced into A A number of patients failed bike out
:08:04. > :08:07.of hours GPs has doubled in the last five years. They are pointing the
:08:08. > :08:11.blame of the story onto the contracts of GPs, suggesting they
:08:12. > :08:17.are simply not there when elderly people need them out of hours. If
:08:18. > :08:22.somebody has a fall or some sort of problem, the answer is to pick up
:08:23. > :08:30.the phone and ring A We have seen many stories about the pressures on
:08:31. > :08:37.A and there are adverts all over the place saying A should not be
:08:38. > :08:40.the first port of call and they are not succeeding. There has been a
:08:41. > :08:45.doubling in the last five years in the number of patients over 90 being
:08:46. > :08:53.sent to A, does not represent a lot of people? I don't know if it is
:08:54. > :08:59.a huge absolute number but an increase of that scale... I mean it
:09:00. > :09:04.is not just people over 90. A is clogged up with people who should
:09:05. > :09:08.have gone to their GPs, their local surgeries, and I think there is an
:09:09. > :09:12.underlying problem that everybody who looks at the health system knows
:09:13. > :09:19.we have too many hospitals in Britain. We need a smaller number,
:09:20. > :09:24.bigger high-tech hospitals, and beefed up surgeries possibly
:09:25. > :09:34.operating 24/7. But of course, when it goes to the specific, are we
:09:35. > :09:41.going to close this hospital, this GP surgery, people say no, keep it
:09:42. > :09:45.open, and we have too many hospitals, inefficient use of scarce
:09:46. > :09:50.money and this is one of the symptoms of the system that neither
:09:51. > :09:56.the last government or this Government has really got to grips
:09:57. > :10:01.with. Can you very briefly explain, this wasn't the kind of problem it
:10:02. > :10:05.was in your time at Number Ten, it didn't seem to be as big. Were you
:10:06. > :10:14.guys preparing for an ageing demographic? Very much so. Everybody
:10:15. > :10:16.was very aware of that problem, but I do not think anybody was
:10:17. > :10:22.anticipating that the problem would be directed towards A I think
:10:23. > :10:30.there were mistakes made, if we have to be honest. Staying with the Daily
:10:31. > :10:35.Telegraph, the plumber with intelligence links held in
:10:36. > :10:44.anti-terror raid... This is a truly extraordinary story. I read it with
:10:45. > :10:50.my eyes popping. What you have got is a very senior diplomat, according
:10:51. > :10:57.to the Telegraph, with links to the intelligence services, that is
:10:58. > :11:02.usually code for, he is a spy. And his son James was arrested on
:11:03. > :11:06.terrorism charges. It looks as if the police got the wrong person. It
:11:07. > :11:14.is an extraordinary story. In an odd way, I suppose, it is not just, as
:11:15. > :11:20.it were, kids from poor black ghettos who get wrongly arrested, it
:11:21. > :11:25.can happen to the sons of senior civil servants. But they have chosen
:11:26. > :11:29.not to lead with that as the headline for the story, which
:11:30. > :11:34.suggests that perhaps you would not bother reading it? But I remember
:11:35. > :11:40.when I was a young journalist on the Sunday Times, the editor, one of his
:11:41. > :11:44.mottos was, a headline should sell a story, not tell a story. The
:11:45. > :11:50.headline, true, it does not tell the story, but by golly, it is selling
:11:51. > :11:58.the story. They got the wrong house! It is a fascinating story. I am with
:11:59. > :12:01.you on this one, Clive, the headline is misleading. Frankly, the story
:12:02. > :12:09.does not justify being on the front page. If the headline had been, son
:12:10. > :12:12.of a diplomat wrongly arrested, then I think it would be a rather less
:12:13. > :12:21.impressive piece of journalism. There you go!
:12:22. > :12:31.Moving on to the Financial Times, Barclays chief, ready to wield the
:12:32. > :12:36.axe. The investment bank is going to lose jobs, as well as branches? The
:12:37. > :12:39.whole of the banking industry has been thrown up in the air. The
:12:40. > :12:43.changes have been brought in not because politicians say they have to
:12:44. > :12:47.change but because the people running the banks have recognised
:12:48. > :12:51.that they have to change. It has begin to occasion is for jobs, a lot
:12:52. > :12:55.of people will be going. A lot of our banking will be done online and
:12:56. > :13:01.less will be done in branches. This is the other side we have had some
:13:02. > :13:08.good economic news, which has not been on any of the front pages,
:13:09. > :13:11.oddly enough. But in the old days, before you were born, Clive, when
:13:12. > :13:19.Lance and myself were in our prime... Speak for yourself, not
:13:20. > :13:23.Lance. It was the industrial north where the jobs went. But if you were
:13:24. > :13:27.in the southern half of Britain, in a job or in an insurance company,
:13:28. > :13:32.you had a job for life. But these are now the jobs which are on the
:13:33. > :13:36.line. Unemployment is coming down, employment is going up, but not in
:13:37. > :13:40.the banks. There are going to be a lot of very unhappy Barclays branch
:13:41. > :13:46.staff. Technology is changing the way we bank, reducing the need for
:13:47. > :13:52.people to go into the branches. This is the other side of the
:13:53. > :13:57.unemployment coin. Much more to talk about, we will be back in an hour.
:13:58. > :14:02.Stay with us on BBC News, because at the top of the hour, we will have
:14:03. > :14:08.much more on the fact that Britain is going to accept some of the most
:14:09. > :14:12.vulnerable refugees from Syria, that is according to the Deputy Prime
:14:13. > :14:16.Minister. He says priority will be giving to women, children and those
:14:17. > :14:18.who are disabled. That news is expected in full tomorrow. But now
:14:19. > :14:31.it is time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday - I'm
:14:32. > :14:36.Tim Hague, and here's what's coming up... Super Sturridge helps
