:00:00. > :00:00.after a three`month injury lay off. And Andy Murray will have to finish

:00:00. > :00:19.his Davis Cup game tomorrow after bad light stopped play today. That's

:00:20. > :00:28.after the Papers. Hello and welcome to a look ahead to what the papers

:00:29. > :00:30.will be bringing us. Tomorrow's front pages. Beginning with the

:00:31. > :00:32.Mirror. will be bringing us. Tomorrow's

:00:33. > :00:43.front pages. Beginning with the It leads with Sir Bruce Forsyth bowing

:00:44. > :00:57.out of Strictly. The Daily Telegraph also leads with that. The Telegraph

:00:58. > :01:00.also has a picture of Sir Bruce, but focuses on the Culture Secretary

:01:01. > :01:02.Maria Miller, with the claim that she tried to bully the parliamentary

:01:03. > :01:05.watchdog to try to stop an investigation into her expenses. The

:01:06. > :01:08.same story about Maria Miller also features on the Guardian's front

:01:09. > :01:11.page, as does Bruce Forsyth with the caption "didn't he do well". And

:01:12. > :01:14.there are more claims of bullying from the Culture Secretary in the

:01:15. > :01:17.Times, which says she used threats to silence the expenses watchdog.

:01:18. > :01:19.The Independent has its own investigation into police corruption

:01:20. > :01:22.at Scotland Yard with what it says is more evidence of missing

:01:23. > :01:25.documents. The Mail claims that Chinese investors are pricing

:01:26. > :01:28.homebuyers out of the market. And according to the I the rescue fund

:01:29. > :01:32.for the so called bedroom tax has run dry. And back to Bruce, with the

:01:33. > :01:39.Sun and their cheeky headline, Chin Chin Brucie. If you heard a bit of

:01:40. > :01:44.clicking while I was talking, it was the highlight caps going back on.

:01:45. > :01:48.You see, sound effects. Let's begin with Maria Miller, the culture

:01:49. > :01:52.Secretary is under fire again in the newspapers. We look at how the Daily

:01:53. > :01:58.Telegraph is treating the story. She tried to bully the watchdog.

:01:59. > :02:02.Pressure grows. We have the Prime Minister coming to her defence

:02:03. > :02:05.again, but the newspapers are not letting this go. Just tell us a

:02:06. > :02:12.little bit about this allegation please, then. They are really piling

:02:13. > :02:15.on the pressure. The allegation is that she personally put pressure on

:02:16. > :02:17.the Parliamentary independent standards Commissioner who was

:02:18. > :02:23.investigating her. Telling her that it was perverse to be digging so

:02:24. > :02:29.deeply into her affairs. A lot of people see that and think the woman

:02:30. > :02:34.was doing her job. This is exactly what we want an independent

:02:35. > :02:39.Parliamentary standards Commissioner to be doing. It speaks of an

:02:40. > :02:42.arrogance and a lofty disdain for the proper systems of

:02:43. > :02:46.accountability. That is the quite shocking allegation. The former

:02:47. > :02:50.chairman of the standards committee has been saying that Parliament

:02:51. > :02:54.needs to implement tougher disciplinary measures. He thinks

:02:55. > :02:57.this reinforces the view strongly held by the public that politicians

:02:58. > :03:01.are just out for themselves. Doesn't look like that? Urn I think so.

:03:02. > :03:07.Interestingly, the more you read this, the angry at you become. Often

:03:08. > :03:11.there are stories running for days and as a reader you just think, for

:03:12. > :03:15.goodness sake. Why have they got their teeth into this one? I'm not

:03:16. > :03:19.that interested. But this is about morale is he. It will touch on every

:03:20. > :03:24.other story we look at during this reviewing session. Because it is

:03:25. > :03:29.about the lack of leadership. When you have a Prime Minister who allows

:03:30. > :03:34.someone who has, rightly or wrongly, irrespective of their intention, has

:03:35. > :03:40.received money she should not have had and done it in a way which

:03:41. > :03:44.brought her into disrepute. And then tried to get in the way of the

:03:45. > :03:50.investigation, and the Prime Minister says that's fine. She pays

:03:51. > :03:55.6% or 8% of the whole, we let her off the hook and she can apologise

:03:56. > :04:00.for 30 seconds and that is fine, what message does that send to us

:04:01. > :04:08.about leadership, responsibility, decency, and morale are the? I think

:04:09. > :04:13.that impacts on the NHS, it impacts on education, there is a whole

:04:14. > :04:18.culture in establishments and public service saying they are OK to do

:04:19. > :04:23.what they do but it's all right for me to try and get away with breaking

:04:24. > :04:27.the rules. `` morale as he. If she is censured within the rules and the

:04:28. > :04:32.watchdog does what it can do, why should the Prime Minister not defend

:04:33. > :04:37.her? Or is her position untenable? This goes not just to leadership at

:04:38. > :04:44.structures. It is astonishing that despite the whole scandal we have

:04:45. > :04:48.lived through, MPs are still essentially marking their own

:04:49. > :04:54.homework. This was a committee of MPs who decided what level of fines

:04:55. > :04:59.she should pay. MPs making decisions about MPs' abuses. That seems wrong.

:05:00. > :05:07.One of the starkest FAQ is to come out of this is that the structure is

:05:08. > :05:13.still look `` one of the starkest facts to come out is that the

:05:14. > :05:20.structure still looks inappropriate. We take our lead from what we see.

:05:21. > :05:26.If it's all right for them, we all start being loose around the edges.

:05:27. > :05:31.This is very naughty behaviour. She is not following her own code of

:05:32. > :05:40.conduct. Has she got to go? Of course she's got to go! What would

:05:41. > :05:48.kids think? It's someone else's fault. For goodness sake. Can you

:05:49. > :05:57.hold on a minute, you're in charge here. You just feel like it tonight.

:05:58. > :06:05.I have heard you had hyper mobility. The Guardian. Medics faced

:06:06. > :06:10.absolutely destructive caseload. This is so Richard Thompson, the

:06:11. > :06:15.president of the Royal College of physicians. He says hospital doctors

:06:16. > :06:23.are running around like a school did cat. They are not hyper mobile

:06:24. > :06:26.enough. A serious point that resources are not therefore hospital

:06:27. > :06:33.doctors to do their job of caring for patients. David Cameron came in

:06:34. > :06:36.and made a very strong pledge to protect the national health service

:06:37. > :06:41.funding in real terms, when every other department was taking big

:06:42. > :06:46.cuts. What this senior doctor is saying is it is not good enough.

:06:47. > :06:49.There needs to be more funding. So many elderly people come through the

:06:50. > :06:55.system, and the health of the nation is such that the supplier is not

:06:56. > :07:00.meeting the demand. This is a headache that David Cameron wanted

:07:01. > :07:05.to avoid. He thought he was going out of his way to give resources to

:07:06. > :07:09.the NHS. Senior practitioners rightly or wrongly are saying it is

:07:10. > :07:14.not enough. A real headache for him. Every week we seem to see the health

:07:15. > :07:21.secretary, Singh to sort this out. Absolutely. And he hasn't, it is a

:07:22. > :07:25.failure of management. Some of the medics are managers, and they can't

:07:26. > :07:30.manage their behaviour any more than the top of the BBC or indeed our

:07:31. > :07:35.Parliament. Managing is quite a difficult thing to do. And doctors

:07:36. > :07:40.aren't really taught how to manage, they are taught how to be doctors.

:07:41. > :07:45.And the fact is that we've got a breakdown, and I come back to what I

:07:46. > :07:48.was saying earlier, of Management, of morale at the comma of basic

:07:49. > :07:53.responsibility. In this country. It is a mobile phone culture. Every

:07:54. > :07:58.time something goes wrong, it you have someone to ring because you

:07:59. > :08:02.can't make the decision yourself. Those structures and processes are

:08:03. > :08:08.in place and are creating this trouble. If you listen to Stephen

:08:09. > :08:11.Moss, he will say to you exactly what other doctors are saying all

:08:12. > :08:18.the time which is that you can have on the same ward a team of Norster

:08:19. > :08:21.nurses everyone looks forward to coming on when their shift begins

:08:22. > :08:28.because the whole culture of the ward changes. And then a different

:08:29. > :08:34.team comes on. It is a tightly detailed as that. And you have to

:08:35. > :08:37.work out what it is about the management structures in our

:08:38. > :08:41.organisations that causes this to happen. If everybody starts

:08:42. > :08:47.admitting fault, irrespective of legal issues, that doesn't change

:08:48. > :08:49.how places are run, does it? But it makes it easier to start the

:08:50. > :08:54.conversation about how to put it right. If everybody is being

:08:55. > :08:59.defensive, no one can take the first step. I think Management does matter

:09:00. > :09:02.but is not a panacea. There will be pressures on resources simply

:09:03. > :09:07.because more people need care. We need to make a big decision in this

:09:08. > :09:12.country about how we are going to fund the national health service

:09:13. > :09:17.over the next three decades. There is a problem in that a lot of people

:09:18. > :09:20.think they can get away with low levels of taxation and high quality

:09:21. > :09:25.services. That will just not fit, effectively. To an extent, this is

:09:26. > :09:31.useful. It points that out and highlights that issue coming down

:09:32. > :09:37.the line. Aren't we to blame, because we expect too much from the

:09:38. > :09:48.NHS. We expect it to fix everything as soon as we ask it to. We turn up

:09:49. > :09:54.at A rather than waiting for Monday morning to see a GP. Are we

:09:55. > :10:04.being complacent about its use? I think most people would just be glad

:10:05. > :10:11.to be spoken to nicely by a GP, have a conversation about how they feel,

:10:12. > :10:14.and then just leave. Even in the event of a misdiagnosis, there is a

:10:15. > :10:19.more positive response to the interaction. One is far more willing

:10:20. > :10:23.to forgive a nice person and a horrible one. I'm sorry to reduce it

:10:24. > :10:27.to that, but this is about basic interactions. Most people are not

:10:28. > :10:32.complaining about operations. Those are, which is why we read about them

:10:33. > :10:35.in the newspapers. The day`to`day complaints are about the

:10:36. > :10:41.interactions with GPs, on wards with carers. It's not about a consultant

:10:42. > :10:47.who wasn't funded to give you a special drug. But if they don't have

:10:48. > :10:52.enough time to spend with you, whether GP... That is a management

:10:53. > :10:57.problem. Maybe also a staffing problem, which also comes under

:10:58. > :11:04.management. Moving on. A China tycoon buying a house. Earlier we

:11:05. > :11:08.looked at another story about investors overseas inflating

:11:09. > :11:27.property prices in the country. This now is a tycoon. A Russian

:11:28. > :11:33.oligarch, a shake, `` sheikh... And apparently you're a tycoon. They

:11:34. > :11:38.have bought a department store which are used to work in. It is a

:11:39. > :11:44.nationalistic issue. This was previously owned by Icelandic

:11:45. > :11:48.banks. It tried to sell it to French Company 's. The ownership does not

:11:49. > :11:55.matter. It is interesting that China has so much surplus cash and is

:11:56. > :12:03.willing to spend it abroad. `` companies. Identikit matters because

:12:04. > :12:14.these are just business deals. It's not about what it represents, it is

:12:15. > :12:22.about `` I don't think it matters. We always get to that, don't be? It

:12:23. > :12:29.is the albatross. The house of Fraser joins a list which includes

:12:30. > :12:36.the maker of London's famous iconic black taxis, sunseeker

:12:37. > :12:41.International, and Weetabix. These are regarded as British brands, but

:12:42. > :12:47.they are not that reddish in terms of ownership. I'm not sure it

:12:48. > :12:55.matters. It is not as though we are going to get Weetabix with black

:12:56. > :13:03.bean sauce, they are not down there on the shop floor. It's interesting

:13:04. > :13:06.they have bought a department store. We are constantly told this is the

:13:07. > :13:09.great market, Chinese shoppers spending their money on the high

:13:10. > :13:15.street. That is definitely true. What is often underreported is the

:13:16. > :13:20.reason they do that is there is a huge luxury tax in China. Luxury

:13:21. > :13:24.goods over there are much more expensive so it is cheaper to get on

:13:25. > :13:28.a plane and come to London or Europe and spend money here. I'm not sure

:13:29. > :13:33.that will be there for ever, so maybe it's not such a great

:13:34. > :13:38.investment in the medium term. We will have to wait and see. We will

:13:39. > :13:44.stay with the Financial Times. Three portraits. Tony Blair, angler

:13:45. > :13:50.Merkel, and Vladimir Putin. The artist formerly known as 43rd US

:13:51. > :13:58.president George W Bush has unveiled his portraits of world leaders ``

:13:59. > :14:03.Angela Merkel. I was quite impressed. I didn't know he could

:14:04. > :14:10.even hold a crayon. He reads books upside down. And I am thrilled he

:14:11. > :14:15.could put this together. He can't ever get the eyes in a straight

:14:16. > :14:21.line, but it may be that these shady characters, in my personal view,

:14:22. > :14:26.might personal view is he looked at these and thought it was shady

:14:27. > :14:30.characters which he has done all with lopsided eyes. Using a theory

:14:31. > :14:36.of facial profiling, that's not a good thing, is it? I wonder when he

:14:37. > :14:39.did these, he famously kept quite short hours at the White House. He

:14:40. > :14:46.could have been scurrying upstairs to do these. Apparently he told his

:14:47. > :14:51.art teacher there was a hidden Rembrandt in his body and it was

:14:52. > :14:57.their job to get it out. I'm afraid it is mission not accomplished. They

:14:58. > :15:03.are pretty dire. I would not want to have them hanging in my house. You

:15:04. > :15:08.would like them to hang in your house, because they will be worth

:15:09. > :15:13.money in a few years. A lot of people take up dancing for therapy.

:15:14. > :15:24.That's fine. I'm not sure they should be inflicted on the general

:15:25. > :15:34.public. Let's move on to the Sun. TV legend quits Strictly. Sir Bruce

:15:35. > :15:42.Forsyth bowing out. He has been hosting for ten years, Strictly Come

:15:43. > :15:46.Dancing, the hit BBC One show, and he is finding the live shows a bit

:15:47. > :15:52.of a strain. If you were standing for hours and hours doing and has

:15:53. > :15:59.live rehearsal all day with Tess Daly, come on! By the time you get

:16:00. > :16:03.to 7pm live on TV, Woody Ju just be wishing someone would come in and

:16:04. > :16:09.carry you out of the studio? You don't know how easy you've got it, I

:16:10. > :16:14.feel for Bruce. If I were him, I too would be retiring after all this

:16:15. > :16:18.time. One of them had to go. I have to stand on that catwalk from time

:16:19. > :16:25.to time, so don't start. He is going to be there, he is not completely

:16:26. > :16:31.going. Yes, he says, I'm not retiring, I will still be around.

:16:32. > :16:34.There is hope for Brucie fans. I don't watch Strictly Come Dancing,

:16:35. > :16:38.but I do remember watching him when I was a kid, and it is phenomenal

:16:39. > :16:43.that he has been going for that long. We have something like a

:16:44. > :16:56.conveyor belt here, I can turn it like a lazy Susan. That is if the

:16:57. > :17:00.papers, thank you both. Well done for surviving your first evening, it

:17:01. > :17:03.is not easy.
