have to finish his quarterfinal in Naples tomorrow `` Aaron Ramsey is

:00:00.:00:00.

back after a three`month lay`off for Arsenal.

:00:00.:00:16.

Welcome to look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:17.:00:23.

With us are they right are ample caster with a green highlighter

:00:24.:00:29.

Penn, breaking with tradition, and with the blue highlighter pen, the

:00:30.:00:36.

economics editor of the Independent. It is there a exciting!

:00:37.:01:13.

There are claims that Maria Miller used threats to silence the

:01:14.:01:22.

watchdog. The independent has more evidence of missing documents at

:01:23.:01:29.

Scotland Yard. The Mail claims Chinese investors are pricing

:01:30.:01:30.

home`buyers out of the market here. We will begin with the Guardian and

:01:31.:01:43.

another warning about how bad things are in the NHS. Top doctors warning

:01:44.:01:50.

on NHS overload. This is the president of the Royal Oak `` Royal

:01:51.:01:58.

College of Music 's. `` College of physicians. It is a constant drip

:01:59.:02:11.

feed. It is not reviving the patient. I feel this does not tell

:02:12.:02:17.

us anything new. Another person saying we don't have enough money or

:02:18.:02:26.

resources. This is talking about hospital resources. What successive

:02:27.:02:37.

investigations have shown is this is a management problem. Frankly I

:02:38.:02:41.

would not mind if I am not getting the best of everything, as long as

:02:42.:02:45.

somebody is showing a duty of care and explaining what is wrong. And

:02:46.:02:51.

what I might do. This is not dealing with a human interaction, which is

:02:52.:02:55.

what has caused so much upset. People not looking after people, not

:02:56.:03:00.

being fed. This is dealing with the medical side, the next step. I feel

:03:01.:03:07.

we are constantly missing the point, which is that all of this comes down

:03:08.:03:12.

to management. In Mid Staffordshire, one part of the hospital was a

:03:13.:03:15.

disgrace and another part was functioning quite well. This

:03:16.:03:21.

morning, I have forgotten who was saying it but they were saying you

:03:22.:03:25.

can have two awards next to each other, dealing with the same type of

:03:26.:03:29.

patient, one which does brilliantly and one which does badly. `` two

:03:30.:03:39.

wards. We have to stop finger pointing and find solutions. Is it

:03:40.:03:46.

about how they are deployed and the expectations made? There are big

:03:47.:03:52.

management problems in the NHS but the story is still significant

:03:53.:03:55.

because David Cameron made such a big thing about protecting the NHS

:03:56.:04:04.

and the quality of services. He nominally rejected it in real terms,

:04:05.:04:07.

spending due to go up every year, rather frozen every year, unlike

:04:08.:04:13.

every other department. If senior doctors are saying there is a

:04:14.:04:19.

funding problem, regardless of the points you make, it is difficult for

:04:20.:04:23.

a Conservative government which has said it has pledged to protect

:04:24.:04:27.

quality of the services, if they are not protected in that manner, it is

:04:28.:04:31.

difficult for the Prime Minister and the government. Is it a case of the

:04:32.:04:35.

hospital is doing well needing to show the others how to do it? I

:04:36.:04:41.

suppose it is. What confuses me is it is a litany of complaints and

:04:42.:04:45.

excuses. What I am not getting, beyond give us more money, is the

:04:46.:04:50.

solution. This debate has been going on for so long, if you are a health

:04:51.:04:55.

correspondent, you should be trying to find the solutions. Where is this

:04:56.:05:02.

overload of distress, from the users of the NHS and the suppliers? Where

:05:03.:05:10.

is it going to end? How and where do we intervene to make it happen? My

:05:11.:05:15.

complaint is that for a front`page story, it is just yet another

:05:16.:05:22.

whinge. Isn't it the case that has always been a desire form of funding

:05:23.:05:26.

in the NHS? It is a bottomless pit if you let it be. It is. He makes

:05:27.:05:35.

the point about elderly patients. We are an ageing society. I think that

:05:36.:05:39.

is part of the problem. It is not all is the best solution for people

:05:40.:05:44.

to be in hospital, then it's been more treatment in local health

:05:45.:05:47.

centres `` there needs to be more treatment. It goes back to the

:05:48.:05:54.

question of management. Are there other alternatives where they could

:05:55.:05:57.

be better cared for and hospital doctors would not have to be looking

:05:58.:06:01.

after 70 at a time which is the complaint he makes, running around

:06:02.:06:05.

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

:06:06.:06:12.

raise and I agree it is only a part of the problem, describing one

:06:13.:06:20.

aspect of the problem. At the heart of my complaint is that where there

:06:21.:06:24.

are convex problems, there are so many components of every problem. I

:06:25.:06:31.

kind of want our newspapers to start linking and joining up the dots for

:06:32.:06:35.

us, if those at the heart of it cannot. Maria Miller is on the front

:06:36.:06:43.

page of many of the newspapers tonight, one of them being the

:06:44.:06:51.

times. The minister used threats to try to silence the expenses

:06:52.:06:53.

watchdog. The newspapers are not letting this go. No, and you can

:06:54.:06:59.

understand why. It is an overlapping story. It has the question of the

:07:00.:07:06.

Prime Minister's judgement in backing Maria Miller when it seems

:07:07.:07:09.

like she was caught red`handed, and the reduction in the fine. It is

:07:10.:07:13.

about the integrity of the accountability structures within

:07:14.:07:16.

Parliament for MPs and also about press regulation, because the

:07:17.:07:22.

accusation is that the government, the Downing Street figures try to

:07:23.:07:26.

shut this down by saying, we're looking at Leveson, press

:07:27.:07:31.

regulation, perhaps you might want to reconsider this story. Lots of

:07:32.:07:38.

this print aspect is going on. `` lots of different aspects. This

:07:39.:07:42.

relates to the structures. Saying the culture secretary was trying to

:07:43.:07:44.

put pressure on the independent standards Commissioner, saying you

:07:45.:07:50.

should back off, you shouldn't investigate me as assiduously as you

:07:51.:07:58.

are doing. She was suggesting the investigator was going into too much

:07:59.:08:02.

detail, demanding records going back for too long and being unreasonable.

:08:03.:08:04.

She has apologised. She did do 32 seconds. My children

:08:05.:08:14.

when their crayons a wall used to do a full minute `` when they used

:08:15.:08:24.

crayons on a wall. The one thing I have not minded about David Cameron

:08:25.:08:28.

is his honouring loyalty to people he likes, Andy Coulson, Rebekah

:08:29.:08:34.

Brooks, now Maria Miller. It puts his friends before his country. For

:08:35.:08:40.

that, one actually quite admires him but what I have started now thinking

:08:41.:08:44.

is, what terrible choices he makes when he decides who his friends are.

:08:45.:08:49.

That makes me more worried than anything else, quite frankly.

:08:50.:08:57.

Chinese fuel UK housing shortage. Far east spec you later 's price

:08:58.:09:00.

Britons out of the market and we thought it was the Russians `` far

:09:01.:09:13.

east speculators price Britons. The accusation is that the huge boom in

:09:14.:09:16.

prices we're having at moment, prices rising 10% annually, part of

:09:17.:09:21.

the problem is that there are too many foreign buyers, particularly in

:09:22.:09:29.

city centres, this report suggests it is Manchester and Birmingham as

:09:30.:09:34.

well as London and other cities. Isn't this a compliment, that

:09:35.:09:37.

politically we are stable, our currency is reliable? I think it is

:09:38.:09:42.

loads of people wanting to launder money from overseas, they want to

:09:43.:09:46.

get it out of their home countries buying property. They buy off plan.

:09:47.:09:52.

I live in cancel rise. No offence to anybody but it is a dust bowl in the

:09:53.:09:56.

inner`city. They will put up gold clad residential blocks in the

:09:57.:10:00.

middle of this high street and they seldom overseas as central London

:10:01.:10:06.

flats. `` they sell them overseas. Nobody ever lives there? There is a

:10:07.:10:13.

tree on one of the balconies. It pushes property up all around. The

:10:14.:10:16.

whole thing is a ludicrous exercise... It is a posh way of

:10:17.:10:24.

moving money around the world. Can we stop it happening? I take a

:10:25.:10:31.

different view. The problem is essentially too little supply. If

:10:32.:10:38.

you solve that problem, if you build more holes, if you build 250,000 a

:10:39.:10:43.

year, which is what we need, and we are building about 15 at the moment.

:10:44.:10:50.

15,000? Sorry, yes. If you bring it back into balance, a lot of the

:10:51.:10:55.

foreign buyers would melt away. It would put them off would it? They

:10:56.:11:01.

would still be there but there wouldn't be as much pressure on the

:11:02.:11:09.

average price. They wouldn't be at such extortionate levels. Rather

:11:10.:11:15.

than single out any foreign national group... I think it is dealing with

:11:16.:11:19.

the symptoms rather than the real cause of the housing dismention. It

:11:20.:11:25.

is a way of having a pop. None of these flats are going to be built by

:11:26.:11:33.

UK nationals. They are boxes, overprized. Let's look at the Daily

:11:34.:11:37.

Telegraph. I have to claim an interest in one of them. Maybe both

:11:38.:11:42.

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

:11:43.:11:48.

go on the iPlayer for longer. At the moment they are on for a week but

:11:49.:11:52.

later this year they will be available for 30 days. Should the

:11:53.:11:58.

BBC charge if you use I player but don't use a telly? I think the idea

:11:59.:12:03.

is that it would be a universal charge, so it would be a tax on

:12:04.:12:08.

every household, as I'm reading it. I suppose it would be added to your

:12:09.:12:11.

council tax or council charge. Is that any better than the licence

:12:12.:12:15.

fee? Some people get cross about that. Apparently the biggest number

:12:16.:12:19.

of civil cases going through our courts are nonpayment of licence

:12:20.:12:25.

fee. So if it was added to your council tax, those at the bottom end

:12:26.:12:29.

would get a discount anyway, because would be able to have it discounted

:12:30.:12:35.

and your benefit would pay it for some people. Should it be

:12:36.:12:39.

subscription? The question is how is this going to be levied? The Dev

:12:40.:12:45.

sill in the detail. If people are consuming BBC content they should be

:12:46.:12:49.

paying for it, otherwise they are getting a free ride on other people

:12:50.:12:52.

who do pay the licence fee. That doesn't seem right. It is a

:12:53.:12:58.

neuralgic issue, the licence fee, among some sections of the

:12:59.:13:02.

population. It takes up quite a lot of my time on social media, having

:13:03.:13:09.

to field those comments. Let's stay with the Telegraph and look at the

:13:10.:13:14.

Mirror, Sir Bruce Forsyth is departing Strictly there. He is next

:13:15.:13:19.

to Tess Daly and he's been hosting the show for ten years. He's also on

:13:20.:13:24.

the Daily Mirror explaining why he's quit, saying the rigours of hosting

:13:25.:13:30.

a live show at the age of 86 have become too much. Difficult shoes to

:13:31.:13:34.

fill. You have to be able to hoof a bit yourself haven't you? I have to

:13:35.:13:39.

say, I'm not a great fan of Tess Daly, so the only saving grace is

:13:40.:13:43.

Sir Bruce Forsyth. I'm not a great fan of Strictly actually. Sorry, but

:13:44.:13:49.

there we go. I'm so glad we invited you tonight! He ` all the cliches,

:13:50.:13:57.

he is a living legend. He is so magical I think anyone who replaces

:13:58.:14:02.

them, however good they are, just like Larry Grayson replaced him on

:14:03.:14:07.

the Generation Game, they are great but they are not Bruce. Big shoes to

:14:08.:14:13.

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

:14:14.:14:18.

and throw yourself off bridges yet. Brucie's still going to be a

:14:19.:14:22.

national treasure and on our screens. From time to time, for the

:14:23.:14:30.

odd special. He will star with Wilnalia, won't he? I hope so, if

:14:31.:14:35.

the good weather continues. We'll be back with the papers at 11.

:14:36.:14:42.

30pm. Stay with that if you will. And we'll have the latest on the

:14:43.:14:46.

journalist who was shot dead and another who was wounded in

:14:47.:14:51.

Afghanistan on the eve of the country's presidential elections. Up

:14:52.:14:52.

next it is Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm

:14:53.:15:06.

Lizzie Greenwood`Hughes. The headlines this evening: Beaten by

:15:07.:15:09.

the light ` Andy Murray's Davis Cup quarterfinal match is stopped in the

:15:10.:15:13.

second set. Michael Schumacher shows signs of

:15:14.:15:16.

waking up. The seven times F1 champion has been in an artificial

:15:17.:15:19.

coma since the New Year.
