:00:00. > :00:00.have to finish his quarterfinal in Naples tomorrow `` Aaron Ramsey is

:00:00. > :00:16.back after a three`month lay`off for Arsenal.

:00:17. > :00:23.Welcome to look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:24. > :00:29.With us are they right are ample caster with a green highlighter

:00:30. > :00:36.Penn, breaking with tradition, and with the blue highlighter pen, the

:00:37. > :01:13.economics editor of the Independent. It is there a exciting!

:01:14. > :01:22.There are claims that Maria Miller used threats to silence the

:01:23. > :01:29.watchdog. The independent has more evidence of missing documents at

:01:30. > :01:30.Scotland Yard. The Mail claims Chinese investors are pricing

:01:31. > :01:43.home`buyers out of the market here. We will begin with the Guardian and

:01:44. > :01:50.another warning about how bad things are in the NHS. Top doctors warning

:01:51. > :01:58.on NHS overload. This is the president of the Royal Oak `` Royal

:01:59. > :02:11.College of Music 's. `` College of physicians. It is a constant drip

:02:12. > :02:17.feed. It is not reviving the patient. I feel this does not tell

:02:18. > :02:26.us anything new. Another person saying we don't have enough money or

:02:27. > :02:37.resources. This is talking about hospital resources. What successive

:02:38. > :02:41.investigations have shown is this is a management problem. Frankly I

:02:42. > :02:45.would not mind if I am not getting the best of everything, as long as

:02:46. > :02:51.somebody is showing a duty of care and explaining what is wrong. And

:02:52. > :02:55.what I might do. This is not dealing with a human interaction, which is

:02:56. > :03:00.what has caused so much upset. People not looking after people, not

:03:01. > :03:07.being fed. This is dealing with the medical side, the next step. I feel

:03:08. > :03:12.we are constantly missing the point, which is that all of this comes down

:03:13. > :03:15.to management. In Mid Staffordshire, one part of the hospital was a

:03:16. > :03:21.disgrace and another part was functioning quite well. This

:03:22. > :03:25.morning, I have forgotten who was saying it but they were saying you

:03:26. > :03:29.can have two awards next to each other, dealing with the same type of

:03:30. > :03:39.patient, one which does brilliantly and one which does badly. `` two

:03:40. > :03:46.wards. We have to stop finger pointing and find solutions. Is it

:03:47. > :03:52.about how they are deployed and the expectations made? There are big

:03:53. > :03:55.management problems in the NHS but the story is still significant

:03:56. > :04:04.because David Cameron made such a big thing about protecting the NHS

:04:05. > :04:07.and the quality of services. He nominally rejected it in real terms,

:04:08. > :04:13.spending due to go up every year, rather frozen every year, unlike

:04:14. > :04:19.every other department. If senior doctors are saying there is a

:04:20. > :04:23.funding problem, regardless of the points you make, it is difficult for

:04:24. > :04:27.a Conservative government which has said it has pledged to protect

:04:28. > :04:31.quality of the services, if they are not protected in that manner, it is

:04:32. > :04:35.difficult for the Prime Minister and the government. Is it a case of the

:04:36. > :04:41.hospital is doing well needing to show the others how to do it? I

:04:42. > :04:45.suppose it is. What confuses me is it is a litany of complaints and

:04:46. > :04:50.excuses. What I am not getting, beyond give us more money, is the

:04:51. > :04:55.solution. This debate has been going on for so long, if you are a health

:04:56. > :05:02.correspondent, you should be trying to find the solutions. Where is this

:05:03. > :05:10.overload of distress, from the users of the NHS and the suppliers? Where

:05:11. > :05:15.is it going to end? How and where do we intervene to make it happen? My

:05:16. > :05:22.complaint is that for a front`page story, it is just yet another

:05:23. > :05:26.whinge. Isn't it the case that has always been a desire form of funding

:05:27. > :05:35.in the NHS? It is a bottomless pit if you let it be. It is. He makes

:05:36. > :05:39.the point about elderly patients. We are an ageing society. I think that

:05:40. > :05:44.is part of the problem. It is not all is the best solution for people

:05:45. > :05:47.to be in hospital, then it's been more treatment in local health

:05:48. > :05:54.centres `` there needs to be more treatment. It goes back to the

:05:55. > :05:57.question of management. Are there other alternatives where they could

:05:58. > :06:01.be better cared for and hospital doctors would not have to be looking

:06:02. > :06:05.after 70 at a time which is the complaint he makes, running around

:06:06. > :06:12.like a scalded cat, as he describes it. I think it is a valid issue to

:06:13. > :06:20.raise and I agree it is only a part of the problem, describing one

:06:21. > :06:24.aspect of the problem. At the heart of my complaint is that where there

:06:25. > :06:31.are convex problems, there are so many components of every problem. I

:06:32. > :06:35.kind of want our newspapers to start linking and joining up the dots for

:06:36. > :06:43.us, if those at the heart of it cannot. Maria Miller is on the front

:06:44. > :06:51.page of many of the newspapers tonight, one of them being the

:06:52. > :06:53.times. The minister used threats to try to silence the expenses

:06:54. > :06:59.watchdog. The newspapers are not letting this go. No, and you can

:07:00. > :07:06.understand why. It is an overlapping story. It has the question of the

:07:07. > :07:09.Prime Minister's judgement in backing Maria Miller when it seems

:07:10. > :07:13.like she was caught red`handed, and the reduction in the fine. It is

:07:14. > :07:16.about the integrity of the accountability structures within

:07:17. > :07:22.Parliament for MPs and also about press regulation, because the

:07:23. > :07:26.accusation is that the government, the Downing Street figures try to

:07:27. > :07:31.shut this down by saying, we're looking at Leveson, press

:07:32. > :07:38.regulation, perhaps you might want to reconsider this story. Lots of

:07:39. > :07:42.this print aspect is going on. `` lots of different aspects. This

:07:43. > :07:44.relates to the structures. Saying the culture secretary was trying to

:07:45. > :07:50.put pressure on the independent standards Commissioner, saying you

:07:51. > :07:58.should back off, you shouldn't investigate me as assiduously as you

:07:59. > :08:02.are doing. She was suggesting the investigator was going into too much

:08:03. > :08:04.detail, demanding records going back for too long and being unreasonable.

:08:05. > :08:14.She has apologised. She did do 32 seconds. My children

:08:15. > :08:24.when their crayons a wall used to do a full minute `` when they used

:08:25. > :08:28.crayons on a wall. The one thing I have not minded about David Cameron

:08:29. > :08:34.is his honouring loyalty to people he likes, Andy Coulson, Rebekah

:08:35. > :08:40.Brooks, now Maria Miller. It puts his friends before his country. For

:08:41. > :08:44.that, one actually quite admires him but what I have started now thinking

:08:45. > :08:49.is, what terrible choices he makes when he decides who his friends are.

:08:50. > :08:57.That makes me more worried than anything else, quite frankly.

:08:58. > :09:00.Chinese fuel UK housing shortage. Far east spec you later 's price

:09:01. > :09:13.Britons out of the market and we thought it was the Russians `` far

:09:14. > :09:16.east speculators price Britons. The accusation is that the huge boom in

:09:17. > :09:21.prices we're having at moment, prices rising 10% annually, part of

:09:22. > :09:29.the problem is that there are too many foreign buyers, particularly in

:09:30. > :09:34.city centres, this report suggests it is Manchester and Birmingham as

:09:35. > :09:37.well as London and other cities. Isn't this a compliment, that

:09:38. > :09:42.politically we are stable, our currency is reliable? I think it is

:09:43. > :09:46.loads of people wanting to launder money from overseas, they want to

:09:47. > :09:52.get it out of their home countries buying property. They buy off plan.

:09:53. > :09:56.I live in cancel rise. No offence to anybody but it is a dust bowl in the

:09:57. > :10:00.inner`city. They will put up gold clad residential blocks in the

:10:01. > :10:06.middle of this high street and they seldom overseas as central London

:10:07. > :10:13.flats. `` they sell them overseas. Nobody ever lives there? There is a

:10:14. > :10:16.tree on one of the balconies. It pushes property up all around. The

:10:17. > :10:24.whole thing is a ludicrous exercise... It is a posh way of

:10:25. > :10:31.moving money around the world. Can we stop it happening? I take a

:10:32. > :10:38.different view. The problem is essentially too little supply. If

:10:39. > :10:43.you solve that problem, if you build more holes, if you build 250,000 a

:10:44. > :10:50.year, which is what we need, and we are building about 15 at the moment.

:10:51. > :10:55.15,000? Sorry, yes. If you bring it back into balance, a lot of the

:10:56. > :11:01.foreign buyers would melt away. It would put them off would it? They

:11:02. > :11:09.would still be there but there wouldn't be as much pressure on the

:11:10. > :11:15.average price. They wouldn't be at such extortionate levels. Rather

:11:16. > :11:19.than single out any foreign national group... I think it is dealing with

:11:20. > :11:25.the symptoms rather than the real cause of the housing dismention. It

:11:26. > :11:33.is a way of having a pop. None of these flats are going to be built by

:11:34. > :11:37.UK nationals. They are boxes, overprized. Let's look at the Daily

:11:38. > :11:42.Telegraph. I have to claim an interest in one of them. Maybe both

:11:43. > :11:48.of them. Pay licence fee even if you don't own a TV, says BBC, as shows

:11:49. > :11:52.go on the iPlayer for longer. At the moment they are on for a week but

:11:53. > :11:58.later this year they will be available for 30 days. Should the

:11:59. > :12:03.BBC charge if you use I player but don't use a telly? I think the idea

:12:04. > :12:08.is that it would be a universal charge, so it would be a tax on

:12:09. > :12:11.every household, as I'm reading it. I suppose it would be added to your

:12:12. > :12:15.council tax or council charge. Is that any better than the licence

:12:16. > :12:19.fee? Some people get cross about that. Apparently the biggest number

:12:20. > :12:25.of civil cases going through our courts are nonpayment of licence

:12:26. > :12:29.fee. So if it was added to your council tax, those at the bottom end

:12:30. > :12:35.would get a discount anyway, because would be able to have it discounted

:12:36. > :12:39.and your benefit would pay it for some people. Should it be

:12:40. > :12:45.subscription? The question is how is this going to be levied? The Dev

:12:46. > :12:49.sill in the detail. If people are consuming BBC content they should be

:12:50. > :12:52.paying for it, otherwise they are getting a free ride on other people

:12:53. > :12:58.who do pay the licence fee. That doesn't seem right. It is a

:12:59. > :13:02.neuralgic issue, the licence fee, among some sections of the

:13:03. > :13:09.population. It takes up quite a lot of my time on social media, having

:13:10. > :13:14.to field those comments. Let's stay with the Telegraph and look at the

:13:15. > :13:19.Mirror, Sir Bruce Forsyth is departing Strictly there. He is next

:13:20. > :13:24.to Tess Daly and he's been hosting the show for ten years. He's also on

:13:25. > :13:30.the Daily Mirror explaining why he's quit, saying the rigours of hosting

:13:31. > :13:34.a live show at the age of 86 have become too much. Difficult shoes to

:13:35. > :13:39.fill. You have to be able to hoof a bit yourself haven't you? I have to

:13:40. > :13:43.say, I'm not a great fan of Tess Daly, so the only saving grace is

:13:44. > :13:49.Sir Bruce Forsyth. I'm not a great fan of Strictly actually. Sorry, but

:13:50. > :13:57.there we go. I'm so glad we invited you tonight! He ` all the cliches,

:13:58. > :14:02.he is a living legend. He is so magical I think anyone who replaces

:14:03. > :14:07.them, however good they are, just like Larry Grayson replaced him on

:14:08. > :14:13.the Generation Game, they are great but they are not Bruce. Big shoes to

:14:14. > :14:18.fill, but he isn't retiring. He makes this point, so don't go out

:14:19. > :14:22.and throw yourself off bridges yet. Brucie's still going to be a

:14:23. > :14:30.national treasure and on our screens. From time to time, for the

:14:31. > :14:35.odd special. He will star with Wilnalia, won't he? I hope so, if

:14:36. > :14:42.the good weather continues. We'll be back with the papers at 11.

:14:43. > :14:46.30pm. Stay with that if you will. And we'll have the latest on the

:14:47. > :14:51.journalist who was shot dead and another who was wounded in

:14:52. > :14:52.Afghanistan on the eve of the country's presidential elections. Up

:14:53. > :15:06.next it is Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm

:15:07. > :15:09.Lizzie Greenwood`Hughes. The headlines this evening: Beaten by

:15:10. > :15:13.the light ` Andy Murray's Davis Cup quarterfinal match is stopped in the

:15:14. > :15:16.second set. Michael Schumacher shows signs of

:15:17. > :15:19.waking up. The seven times F1 champion has been in an artificial

:15:20. > :15:22.coma since the New Year.
