director. And we hear from the last Liverpool team to win the title, and | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
why he feels the race for the Premier League are still wide open. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
That is in Sportsday in 15 minutes, after the papers. Hello and welcome | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
me are Pippa Crerar, City Hall editor at the London Evening | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Standard, and Hugh Muir, diary editor of The Guardian. Tomorrow's | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
front pages, starting with: the Financial Times leads with the | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
crisis in the Ukraine. The paper says posturing by Moscow is | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
highlighting just how disunited the West is, in trying to deal with the | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
situation. George Osborne's Budget last month has failed to translate | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
into potential Tory votes according to the Guardian's latest poll. The | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Metro leads with a warning by teachers that primary school | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
youngsters are being left like "ghosts" at school for long hours | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
because parents are too busy working. A warning from First Sea | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Lord that Scottish Independence would damage the navy is the lead in | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
the Telegraph. More concern about the rising costs of housing is the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Express top story. The Mail front page features more allegations of a | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Lib Dem cover up over the Cyril Smith scandal. The Independent | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
claims the NHS is facing a financial crisis as early as next year, | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
according to a report by a leading think tank. And the health service | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
is also the lead in the Mirror which turns it attention to patient care | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
in hospitals. We will start with the Telegraph. Threat if Scotland quits | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
UK. They have got the first Sea Lord, saying a yes vote would weaken | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
the defence of Scotland and the Navy. And we can put defence of the | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
country overall `` we can defence of the country overall `` weaken the | :01:58. | :02:08. | |
defence of the country overall. It is almost an appeal to the | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
romanticism of it all. Not to go ahead and do this, because of the | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
implications for defence. I'm not sure how much, how effective that is | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
going to be. I'm not sure that in all the arguments we will have about | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
the referendum, and the issues about Scotland, whether it says yes or | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
no, I'm not sure this will really cut through. There seems to be an | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
effort to push this. Defence has become a big part of this whole | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
debate. Is there a sense that the Better Together campaign has done | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
nothing but talk about what will be lost as a result of the breakup of | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the union, rather than what will be gained by staying together? Rumack | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
this is a problem many have warned about for some time. It seems `` | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
this is a problem many have warned about for some time. It seems, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
according to the secretary general's warnings last week that | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
the security of the whole country will be put at terrible risk if | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Scotland becomes independent. It is a series of negative headlines. I | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
think, actually, the significance of this cannot be overstated. This is | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
yet another warning. Dire warning, Scots, your life will be terrible. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Your security will be under threat, at your economy will collapse, if | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
you go independent. I think it is working. I think that Alex Salmond | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
has consistently been scaremongering. That has up until | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
this point not had that much traction. It is now gaining | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
traction. Many people in Scotland who are not necessarily in favour of | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
an independent Scotland, are getting fed up with being dictated to by | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Westminster and told that things will fall apart if we go | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
independent. There is a strong argument for self`determination. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Many people are really starting to feel, it is a powerful phenomenon | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
when you feel excluded and separated from what is going on at | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Westminster. It seems very far away. It's difficult to know how it could | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
have been played differently. In a way, Scotland has the easier task. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
It is a romantic argument they can put forward. And they are trying to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
counter that with a very pragmatic argument. One will always be more | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
appealing than the other. Maybe that is why they're relying so heavily on | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
the dangers. You have to hope there is a bit of the other side as well. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
David Cameron will have been warned that he needs the English to | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
convince the Scots. He can't, but you can get others to do it for him. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
UK draws battle lines on nuclear weapons, trying to stay longer a yes | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
vote. Again, if you say yes to independents, what Alex Salmond says | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
will come to pass will not happen. `` to independence. This is a speech | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
being given tomorrow. In the same speech, he makes remarks about | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
nothing being off limit with regards to negotiations. Nothing is cut and | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
dry. One MP said last week that negotiations for a yes vote... Or | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
that seems not to be what is happening here. It is always one of | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
those totem issues rather than more substantive. What is interesting is | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
the tone and the fact that the Cabinet minister suggesting that | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
there might be more to... More room to manoeuvre. Is there a sense that | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
the Scots have realised the jig is up? That membership of the European | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
Union, Trident, all of that is up for discussion, and is not as cut | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
and dried as the Better Together Campaign suggest. Do they suspect it | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
is all bluster for the debate? We have a story a few days ago about | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
the currency, saying the argument was not cut and dry. The government | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
found that alarming. It was in their interest to say it was. They do have | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
a credibility problem. That is why the warnings, they can either | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
recalibrate it and make a campaign which is more optimistic, which can | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
get more `` Audette more and more apocalyptic `` or get. The front | :07:12. | :07:23. | |
page of the Scotsman, with the Defence Secretary, they might be | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
related. It is really important for both parties. That's the thing. If | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
it is a yes vote, and Scotland goes independent, I don't see how David | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
Cameron can survive. An English MP has always been careful about | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
getting too involved. But can they take Labour in Scotland for granted? | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Suddenly labour will be in a position where they cannot win a | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
general election again. George III went mad. Maybe that is not the | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
right president. Ukraine calls for UN peacekeepers. Members here of the | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
pro` Russia mob storming a police station. I wonder what the West can | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
do. More sanctions perhaps, but that is really not going to have an | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
effect, is it? Or Mac problem we not. The West is in a quandary `` | :08:28. | :08:39. | |
probably not. The West is in a quandary. As we were saying earlier, | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
the big problem is that no one quite knows Russia's endgame, and whether | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
there is a desire for more territory to be brought back into the fold. | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
And whether it is more than muscle flexing. Whether it has a strategic | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
dynamic. Further than his backyard. Until they get their head around | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
exactly what is going on there, it will be very difficult for anyone to | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
actually take action which will have any impact on Moscow. You have a | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
sense of world leaders playing the time. Don't really know what to do | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
about Vladimir Putin so they are just playing for time to sit down | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
and work it out. To worked their way through it. They don't really know | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
how to handle that. They don't know his endgame, I don't know that any | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
of the world leaders can say they have spoken to him and have a sense | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
of how his mind works. Until they can do that, until they can get a | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
sense of where he is going and why he is doing it, they are playing | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
catch up. We will stay with that... We will go to the Metro actually. | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
The ghost children. Moves to elongate the school day. This shows | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
that phenomenon. At its most extreme, ten hours a day at school. | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
Of course, it is a difficult issue. Parents have two work. The way the | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
economy is, you have to work. And what you do about your children? | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Many will leave their children at school for these long school days. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Can schools cope with that? Are their resources to make sure that | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
people are being looked after for those long days? There's an argument | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
about whether children at four should be in school at all? You look | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
at most countries, like the United States, where formal education | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
begins at six. You then say, are you talking about a formal school | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
environment, or being away from home, as being a problem. And then | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
what about working parents? Because 9am to 5pm is currently not a long | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
working day. If you have to commit an hour at either end of the day, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
you suddenly need to find care for your children from 8am to 6pm. How | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
else can parents, when you consider that in London, ?14,000 a year for a | :11:32. | :11:44. | |
nursery place is standard. How can you possibly afford that? London has | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
the highest rate of mothers not returning to work in the country, | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
because of the cost of childcare. You can understand the appeal of | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
breakfast clubs and after`school clubs, which are much cheaper. You | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
can also see why schools might be wary. Because they are required to | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
step up and put on this extra provision, without resources. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Teachers might ask about having to work these extra days, and they may | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
end up like ghosts. This is an arresting headline in the Mirror. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Stay the night in a hospital, and you are more likely to die. Yes, | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
they have investigated and the upshot is that 59% of nurses on | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
night shifts are unable to deliver copper care because of cuts. It is | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
not in terms of their relationship with the government. They have gone | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
big on it. Politically, the NHS is a hot potato, always is coming up to | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the election. You will read some of this, and no one will be | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
particularly surprised, they talk about the best and worst times to be | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
in hospital in terms of level of care. We will see more of this | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
overcoming months. Every other in we love to talk about this. In some | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
ways, it is politically toxic. Going on to The Independent. Financial | :13:36. | :13:48. | |
crisis in 2015. Like the story in the Mirror, is this a surprise? We | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
are always hearing about the dire financial straits of NHS trusts. No | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
political party wants to make dramatic cuts. The electorate have a | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
strong emotional bond with the NHS. We all love it. No one wants to take | :14:11. | :14:19. | |
the axe to it. But can it go on growing irrespective? Can we go on | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
throwing money at new treatments and new drugs as patient expectations | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
increase? We were talking about this earlier, and suggested middle | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
management was the answer. Cut back on them. If you decentralise the | :14:37. | :14:50. | |
system, you by definition need good managers. That has been a problem | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
for the NHS. At least with centralisation you have a level of | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
central expertise to rely on. You don't have that in a de` centred NHS | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
Trust. They are being left to their own devices and getting into | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
trouble. You can't take it back and renationalise it, and no government | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
would want to do that. That is what is apparent. These kinds of | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
statistics and financial crises, and it happens again and again and | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
again. This government does not have an ants are two square that circle. | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
According to the happy captain dependent, the next government must | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
choose between cuts and extra spending. `` according to The | :15:43. | :15:44. |
