latest from Lewis Hamilton and the crash he had interesting today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
That's all from Sportsday in 15 minutes after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
bringing us tomorrow. With me are Peter Kellner, chairman of the | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
pollster Yougov, and political commentator Lance Price. Let's have | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
a look at some of the pages now. The Independent features a picture of | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
flood water on the Somerset Levels. The caption says "how Defra ignored | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the warnings of flood disaster to save money". The paper also has the | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
latest from the phone hacking trial. The front page of the Telegraph | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
shows a picture of France's former first lady Valerie Trierweiler in | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
India.The paper leads though on its report that the number of elderly | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
patients having to go into A - has doubled in five years - because of a | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
lack of confidence in out-of-hours GPs. The paper leads on the report | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
that the number of elderly patients going into A has doubled in the | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
last five years was of a lack of confidence in GPs. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
The Financial Times leads on revelations from Barclays bank that | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
its chief executive intends closing a quarter of its UK branches. The | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
whole front page of the Daily Mail is dedicated to the outrage being | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
felt by flood victims who feel they've been abandoned to the | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
elements by officials. The Metro reports that drinking too much | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
increases your risk of developing a particularly deadly form of skin | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
cancer. A strong image on the cover of the Guardian of an Afghan child | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
refugee - it's lead story, though, reports that MPs have received legal | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
advice warning that mass spying programmes by GCHQ are "probably | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
illegal". Finally, the Daily Mirror claims Scotland Yard detectives | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
investigation the Madeleine McCann abduction are set to arrest three | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
men. We are going to start with the | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
Independent. The stories about the Syrian refugees, and there was | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
pressure building on the Government but even Nigel Farage. Yes, over | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
Christmas he said he thought Britain should take its share. The Deputy | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
Prime Minister is trailing the story. Whether it will take its | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
share, I think we are taking a share, a pretty small share compared | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
to some of our European partners, which is not to take away from the | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
efforts that the UK government are quite rightly making to help | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
refugees in the region, and a lot of the refugees are better helped in | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the region rather than taking them out, and that is great but there are | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
those very vulnerable ones who have to be taken out of the region and | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
helped. It just disappoints me that the whole debate about immigration | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
in this country makes it difficult for the Government even to concede | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
this much. Is there any polling on this, given the toxic debate about | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
immigration at the moment? What are the public think about Syrian | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
refugees coming here? We polled this last week and we found that people | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
on balance don't want Syrian refugees here, but by a narrower | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
margin than any other. I think in reality people will not be appalled | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
when it happens, and a couple of days ago David Cameron said actually | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
it looks like not many Romanians and Bulgarians are coming here, and the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
big immigration issue from the last few weeks has been about the EU | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
rules allowing any Romanian and Bulgarian coming to Britain, and | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
people saying we will be flooded with them, it's not happening. I | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
just wondered with the lack of flooding of people from Romania and | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Bulgaria, and a pretty principal response by the Government supported | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
by the Lib Dems and the Labour Party, a real cross-party consensus | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
that we do need to do something about the Syrian refugees, maybe we | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
are moving into a more adult conversation about immigration than | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
we were a few months ago. That would be refreshing! And I wonder if | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
you'll all is simply forces the parties into acting. Remember what | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
happened to the Gurkhas and Joanna Lumley a few years ago, people were | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
on the side of the Gurkhas having rights here, and I remember a Tory | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
MP down in Dorset who got into a dreadful mess about somebody being | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
thrown out, and the locals dead, actually this person may have | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
technically broken a rule but we like him. When you get into specific | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
groups and specific people, the debate changes. As you said, Lance, | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Nigel Farage showed how nuanced this argument is by coming out in favour | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
of the Government bringing in some Syrian refugees. That announcement | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
is due tomorrow in full. Let's pick -- stick with the Independent and | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
the foam packing trial. Andy Coulson is linked to this because he | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
apparently listened to one particular message in his time as | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
editor. Of course we have to be very careful, this is an ongoing trial, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Andy Coulson has pleaded not guilty and we are long way from hearing all | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
of the evidence, let alone getting a verdict of the jewellery, but at the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
heart of this Andy Coulson was not just the editor of the News Of The | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
World these allegations referred to, when he became the Prime Minister's | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
press secretary, so Andy Coulson is in the dock but in the background | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
David Cameron's reputation is sort of in the dock with him. When it has | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
been a dramatic day, it forces its way onto the front page. It looks | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
like the prosecution case will be wrapped up by the end of this week | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
and the beginning of next week, and we will hear the defence of Andy | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Coulson. Yes, what is interesting here is that the person who has | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
given this evidence that has been difficult for Andy Coulson has | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
himself pleaded guilty, and therefore is giving evidence in that | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
way, but what it shows is... Peter is right to say that David | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
Cameron's judgement is in the dock but so is the whole reputation of | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
journalism and certainly tabloid journalism, and if you look at the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
pressure on this particular journalist to come up with a story | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
that would shift newspapers off supermarket shelves, it is | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
interesting, we come onto this programme to talk about the front | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
pages. Newspaper sales are dropping but somehow the papers like the Sun | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
and the other newspapers are still managing to fill their pages and we | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
don't necessarily have to have a diet of celebrity divorces. Debates | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
about press regulation have not ended and I think it is bound to be | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
explicit if not implicitly backwash from this trial into the ongoing | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
debate about the role of Parliament or not in the future of press | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
regulation. Andy Coulson, Rebekah Brooks and seven others all deny the | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
charges being levelled against them. Let's go to the Telegraph, the | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
scandal elderly forced into A A number of patients failed bike out | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
of hours GPs has doubled in the last five years. They are pointing the | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
blame of the story onto the contracts of GPs, suggesting they | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
are simply not there when elderly people need them out of hours. If | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
somebody has a fall or some sort of problem, the answer is to pick up | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
the phone and ring A We have seen many stories about the pressures on | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
A and there are adverts all over the place saying A should not be | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
the first port of call and they are not succeeding. There has been a | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
doubling in the last five years in the number of patients over 90 being | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
sent to A, does not represent a lot of people? I don't know if it is | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
a huge absolute number but an increase of that scale... I mean it | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
is not just people over 90. A is clogged up with people who should | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
have gone to their GPs, their local surgeries, and I think there is an | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
underlying problem that everybody who looks at the health system knows | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
we have too many hospitals in Britain. We need a smaller number, | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
bigger high-tech hospitals, and beefed up surgeries possibly | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
operating 24/7. But of course, when it goes to the specific, are we | :09:25. | :09:34. | |
going to close this hospital, this GP surgery, people say no, keep it | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
open, and we have too many hospitals, inefficient use of scarce | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
money and this is one of the symptoms of the system that neither | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
the last government or this Government has really got to grips | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
with. Can you very briefly explain, this wasn't the kind of problem it | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
was in your time at Number Ten, it didn't seem to be as big. Were you | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
guys preparing for an ageing demographic? Very much so. Everybody | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
was very aware of that problem, but I do not think anybody was | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
anticipating that the problem would be directed towards A I think | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
there were mistakes made, if we have to be honest. Staying with the Daily | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
Telegraph, the plumber with intelligence links held in | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
anti-terror raid... This is a truly extraordinary story. I read it with | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
my eyes popping. What you have got is a very senior diplomat, according | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
to the Telegraph, with links to the intelligence services, that is | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
usually code for, he is a spy. And his son James was arrested on | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
terrorism charges. It looks as if the police got the wrong person. It | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
is an extraordinary story. In an odd way, I suppose, it is not just, as | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
it were, kids from poor black ghettos who get wrongly arrested, it | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
can happen to the sons of senior civil servants. But they have chosen | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
not to lead with that as the headline for the story, which | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
suggests that perhaps you would not bother reading it? But I remember | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
when I was a young journalist on the Sunday Times, the editor, one of his | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
mottos was, a headline should sell a story, not tell a story. The | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
headline, true, it does not tell the story, but by golly, it is selling | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the story. They got the wrong house! It is a fascinating story. I am with | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
you on this one, Clive, the headline is misleading. Frankly, the story | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
does not justify being on the front page. If the headline had been, son | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
of a diplomat wrongly arrested, then I think it would be a rather less | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
impressive piece of journalism. There you go! | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
Moving on to the Financial Times, Barclays chief, ready to wield the | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
axe. The investment bank is going to lose jobs, as well as branches? The | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
whole of the banking industry has been thrown up in the air. The | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
changes have been brought in not because politicians say they have to | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
change but because the people running the banks have recognised | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
that they have to change. It has begin to occasion is for jobs, a lot | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
of people will be going. A lot of our banking will be done online and | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
less will be done in branches. This is the other side we have had some | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
good economic news, which has not been on any of the front pages, | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
oddly enough. But in the old days, before you were born, Clive, when | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
Lance and myself were in our prime... Speak for yourself, not | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
Lance. It was the industrial north where the jobs went. But if you were | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
in the southern half of Britain, in a job or in an insurance company, | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
you had a job for life. But these are now the jobs which are on the | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
line. Unemployment is coming down, employment is going up, but not in | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the banks. There are going to be a lot of very unhappy Barclays branch | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
staff. Technology is changing the way we bank, reducing the need for | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
people to go into the branches. This is the other side of the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
unemployment coin. Much more to talk about, we will be back in an hour. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
Stay with us on BBC News, because at the top of the hour, we will have | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
much more on the fact that Britain is going to accept some of the most | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
vulnerable refugees from Syria, that is according to the Deputy Prime | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Minister. He says priority will be giving to women, children and those | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
who are disabled. That news is expected in full tomorrow. But now | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
it is time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday - I'm | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
Tim Hague, and here's what's coming up... Super Sturridge helps | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Liverpool to a 4-0 thrashing of Everton in the Merseyside | :14:37. | :14:37. |
