:00:00. > :00:25.in 15 minutes. `` snooker. Welcome to our look at what the

:00:26. > :00:33.papers will bring us tomorrow. Bonnie Greer and the Deputy

:00:34. > :00:36.political editor at the times. A picture of holy week celebrations in

:00:37. > :00:42.Spain, dominating the Telegraph front page. Foreign doctors might

:00:43. > :00:50.lack the necessary skills to work on the NHS. The Queen with her Easter

:00:51. > :00:56.bouquet features on the Daily Express. The Daily Mail reports on

:00:57. > :01:00.the cost of a legal battle involving an NHS cardiologist who was sacked

:01:01. > :01:03.after whistleblowing. The front page of the mirror is dedicated to a

:01:04. > :01:09.story about a baby who was reinfected by meningitis from the

:01:10. > :01:15.family cat. `` infected. The skill levels of doctors trained outside

:01:16. > :01:21.the EU in the times. The independent front page has a tribute to Gabriel

:01:22. > :01:24.Garcia Marquez. He died at aged 87. The Guardian reports on the

:01:25. > :01:29.acquisition of the Labour Party over Obama 's adviser, table Arsenal

:01:30. > :01:34.roared, for the UK election battle. That's where we start. Miliband

:01:35. > :01:43.steps up his right hand man for election. Will Miliband say, yes we

:01:44. > :01:47.can? It is a shot in the arm for Ed Miliband. They have been looking for

:01:48. > :01:53.good news. Their economic strategy came under pressure. This is as good

:01:54. > :02:00.news as you could get. David Axelrod was the campaign face of the Obama

:02:01. > :02:06.campaign. He was one of two figureheads who took Obama from the

:02:07. > :02:10.kitchen table to the White House. The fact he is joining team Miliband

:02:11. > :02:13.is impressive. We have a Chicago streetfighter who will faceoff and

:02:14. > :02:21.Australian strategist. It is down and dirty. All three parties have

:02:22. > :02:27.foreign election strategists. It is good news. I wonder how many days

:02:28. > :02:34.between now and the election, David Axelrod will actually be inside the

:02:35. > :02:40.Labour HQ. He is predominantly an America based. What will he do? His

:02:41. > :02:48.role in the last Obama campaign was to focus on Obama's opponent and

:02:49. > :02:54.ensure people understood how privileged, wealthy and not one of

:02:55. > :02:59.us he was as an opponent. You will see a lot of that in the way he

:03:00. > :03:03.steers the Labour campaign. Ronnie, you are from southside Chicago and

:03:04. > :03:13.you know this guy. Absolutely. What will he bring to the campaign? ``

:03:14. > :03:23.Bonnie. Trust me, Axe wouldn't get involved unless he could win this.

:03:24. > :03:30.He wouldn't put his name to this if he didn't know. To add to what Sam

:03:31. > :03:38.said, what he saw in Obama was what I call, the edge. He saw it. He saw

:03:39. > :03:43.a shift in the Democratic party. My generation, the baby boomers, were

:03:44. > :03:46.running the party. We assumed it would be Hillary Clinton in the

:03:47. > :03:55.bag. What's the deal? Suddenly, this guy from Illinois, with a weird last

:03:56. > :04:00.name, who Axe helped to get here from Illinois, said no, there is a

:04:01. > :04:07.change. What he focuses on, not only what he did against Mitt Romney is,

:04:08. > :04:15.he is a genius at understanding the ethos of the people. He understands

:04:16. > :04:18.in the US, for instance, America is about freedom, our quality,

:04:19. > :04:23.opportunity, that's it. Every American dream is about it. If you

:04:24. > :04:30.don't deliver that, then you are out. What he sees here, my

:04:31. > :04:35.perception of Britain, being here so many years, is that the British

:04:36. > :04:41.perceive themselves as fair. At the end of the day, most British people

:04:42. > :04:49.want fairness. Everyone interprets that how they want, but it is about

:04:50. > :04:55.being fair, just fair. I would assume, maybe Axelrod will look at

:04:56. > :04:58.that very deeply. He is talking about inequality. He is going to be

:04:59. > :05:05.talking about that so that is important. Sam, why does it take a

:05:06. > :05:08.bunch of foreigners to tell us how we are supposed to, I don't know,

:05:09. > :05:18.react, feel, deal with life at the moment? As with business hiring

:05:19. > :05:23.outside consultants, it helps. Before Axelrod's arrival, team

:05:24. > :05:27.Miliband have been looking at the way Obama won the second of the two

:05:28. > :05:34.residential races. In fact, Obama was behind on economic competence

:05:35. > :05:39.and behind on who was trusted to manage growth in relation to

:05:40. > :05:41.business. What he was in front on was understanding people 's pain,

:05:42. > :05:46.understanding the squeeze, understanding cost of living issues.

:05:47. > :05:52.The temp late has been laid on top of the Labour campaign. `` temp

:05:53. > :06:02.late. We have Axelrod like we are just adding to the man now. The

:06:03. > :06:06.Tories picked up Jim Messina who also worked for President Obama.

:06:07. > :06:21.There is no doubt that Axelrod is the senior. That moustache is known

:06:22. > :06:27.in America. And he has the thing I want `` and he has got it back,

:06:28. > :06:31.because he took it off. He will shake this campaign. He knows

:06:32. > :06:36.something has shifted. That is what he discovered in Obama. That is what

:06:37. > :06:42.will happen here. Very interesting. Bonnie, the Times, Geneva deal pulls

:06:43. > :06:50.Ukraine back from the brink. Is it all over now? It depends on how far

:06:51. > :06:57.Putin wants to go, what he wants to accomplish. What he says he wants to

:06:58. > :07:04.do, what he wants to do, are of course two different things. He has

:07:05. > :07:11.had to put himself on the frontline of politics. He has gone on record,

:07:12. > :07:16.ago, saying the collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst thing

:07:17. > :07:21.that ever happened. V Putin owes a of politics in Europe and in

:07:22. > :07:30.relation to the U S is how this man is making his mark `` the

:07:31. > :07:33.Putinisation. It is appalling that we don't have a dialogue about his

:07:34. > :07:38.central premise, which is that he has the right to invade a sovereign

:07:39. > :07:47.country to aid its language speakers. This, frankly, was one of

:07:48. > :07:54.Hitler's arguments. It's much more complicated than that. That is one

:07:55. > :08:01.of Hitler's statements, that German speakers in that part of Poland...

:08:02. > :08:05.(CROSSTALK) he said today it was his right to go in there if Russian

:08:06. > :08:09.speakers are being threatened. The important thing about the deal today

:08:10. > :08:16.is to look at what sides have got out of it. It has a below the

:08:17. > :08:25.surface mini break up of national structure of Ukraine, whereas, so

:08:26. > :08:33.the west's negotiating card in all of this is relatively weak `` West.

:08:34. > :08:38.We have seen businesses in Europe, like BP, lobbying to ensure that

:08:39. > :08:45.sanctions against Russia weren't dramatic. If you impose all our

:08:46. > :08:50.sanctions you won't have anyone writing cheques from Moscow to

:08:51. > :08:56.London. They would. We aren't in a position of desperate strength. You

:08:57. > :08:58.talk about Hitler, you talk about interrogating Putin's main aim, I

:08:59. > :09:07.don't think that is realistic at that point when we have little cards

:09:08. > :09:11.on our favour. Obama said that military options were off the table.

:09:12. > :09:17.He has to say that. Europe is an plain`ball. We saw today that there

:09:18. > :09:24.aren't many cards in our favour `` playing ball. You need an

:09:25. > :09:32.unattractive deescalation. You are saying that the West, need to back

:09:33. > :09:35.down? And saying the West didn't get a lot out of today and Putin can be

:09:36. > :09:40.satisfied there is no attempt to take any of this back. Nothing has

:09:41. > :09:46.put him back in his box and he has stored sanctions and seen a little

:09:47. > :09:53.bit more of a breakup of Ukraine. There are issues on the table. We

:09:54. > :09:56.can talk about the real politic. You are talking about that. It is

:09:57. > :10:04.rational. There is something deeper that we are not discussing. That

:10:05. > :10:09.is, the idea of the West. What does it do? If the EU cannot in spite of

:10:10. > :10:16.the fact that Gazprom pumps the gas into Europe, if the EU cannot stay

:10:17. > :10:21.with the principles of Europe, if the UN cannot do that, if the US

:10:22. > :10:27.cannot do that, that is the problem. We know the money that is beneath

:10:28. > :10:31.this. Someone needs to talk about this issue of sovereign nations

:10:32. > :10:37.being invaded by another nation. You mention the word is realpolitik and

:10:38. > :10:40.the matter is, if the Germans are getting their gas from Russia, what

:10:41. > :10:44.will you do? My point is, let's talk about it. Not as though there is

:10:45. > :10:50.anything else to talk about. I thought they were talking about it.

:10:51. > :10:55.I thought they would be a move because of the fracking revolution

:10:56. > :10:57.in America to ship more of that stuff, their gas, over two, and try

:10:58. > :11:04.and change the geopolitical situation. Try to shift the

:11:05. > :11:10.dynamic. A third can be moved by 2020. It's not overnight. That's

:11:11. > :11:18.part of the discussion I'm saying it's not the only question. We are

:11:19. > :11:22.acting as though it is. There is an idea of the West. There is an idea

:11:23. > :11:30.about the US. What the President should be doing, which he is in an

:11:31. > :11:40.ish way, is to state the idea. You know what the response to that is?

:11:41. > :11:44.Libya, Syria, Iraq. You guys do it, we will do it. We need to talk about

:11:45. > :11:50.it. You are absolutely right. A discussion for both sides,

:11:51. > :11:56.potentially. Interesting story. Your paper, the Times, has done it,

:11:57. > :12:03.safety fears over doctors who trained outside the EU, you have on

:12:04. > :12:06.the front page. Whereas, the Telegraph says foreign doctors, just

:12:07. > :12:11.generally, foreign doctors lack skills for the NHS. The suggestion

:12:12. > :12:16.is that following a study from University College London that

:12:17. > :12:21.foreign doctors are allowed to work in the NHS here aren't given the

:12:22. > :12:27.same stringent testing that British doctors need to reach before

:12:28. > :12:29.practising. It's an academic study published in the British medical

:12:30. > :12:33.Journal, one of the most well`regarded medical journals.

:12:34. > :12:40.There is huge political pressure to ensure there are no gaps in the NHS

:12:41. > :12:46.`` British Medical Journal. What do we do? We go outside. People have

:12:47. > :12:53.tactical and emotional responses to that. It makes some uncomfortable

:12:54. > :12:55.and some nervous. Others treat it in a perfectly grown`up manner. Here,

:12:56. > :13:01.we seem to have a study which suggests that there are issues

:13:02. > :13:06.around the number of doctors that go to disciplinary hearings from

:13:07. > :13:10.overseas. It basically says foreign doctors wouldn't pass the English

:13:11. > :13:17.exam, which I think would concern a lot of people. Is that it, language?

:13:18. > :13:28.The richest test? Lee the English exam. From the extracts, I'm not

:13:29. > :13:31.clear what they would be. Is this according to the Times? If you are a

:13:32. > :13:36.foreign doctor, a French or Spanish or German doctor, it's all OK? The

:13:37. > :13:49.Times is right and the Telegraph is wrong, obviously. In the Times, and

:13:50. > :13:54.the Times says? I'm trying to get the motivation of the story. We have

:13:55. > :13:57.to duty newspapers suggesting two very different things. That is my

:13:58. > :14:09.point. The Telegraph is just foreign doctors, anyone perhaps whose

:14:10. > :14:13.English `` who is not English. Once you say outside the EU, you think

:14:14. > :14:18.about African doctors and so on, and race starts coming in. The point is,

:14:19. > :14:26.the point we make clear in our story, the study is about the exam

:14:27. > :14:29.sat by doctors who come from outside the EU, and they are comparing that

:14:30. > :14:37.exam for people coming from outside the EU with the domestic exam. The

:14:38. > :14:39.Times is accurate in this. So the test for a French doctor is the same

:14:40. > :14:47.for it is in the UK. I'm not sure. for it is in the UK. I'm not sure.

:14:48. > :14:53.That is crucial. That is important. The doctor who got into trouble a

:14:54. > :14:56.few years ago was a German speaker. The question is, what are they

:14:57. > :15:01.talking about? Is it language? Why are you so special? What happens in

:15:02. > :15:07.the EU which is huge and French doctors are not trained to the same

:15:08. > :15:14.as reduced doctors. No foreign doctor would be. What are they

:15:15. > :15:16.talking about? Also, if it is clear, from greater appearances

:15:17. > :15:18.before the General medical Council because problems foreign doctors

:15:19. > :15:26.have issues, why is this study coming out now? That was my other

:15:27. > :15:32.question. We have discussed this lot. It has all gone over my head

:15:33. > :15:37.completely story. I think it is time to talk about things about which we

:15:38. > :15:45.know, not nothing. Onto the Independent and Bonnie, Gabriel

:15:46. > :15:49.Garcia Marquez, a literary giant, dies at 87, after being sick for a

:15:50. > :16:02.long time. Nobel laureate. People compare him to 70s. `` Cervantes. He

:16:03. > :16:09.invented magic realism, which has been bastardised. Can I say that?

:16:10. > :16:16.You can say what you like. Tony will be all right about that. When magic

:16:17. > :16:26.realism, which he brought into the world, it was about subtlety and

:16:27. > :16:30.leaving things out. This man to the Spanish`language is the same thing

:16:31. > :16:34.that Shakespeare is to ours, he invented Spanish again. He was our

:16:35. > :16:43.mighty intellect. He is what the French call, on the left. He is

:16:44. > :16:49.against US foreign policy. He wasn't afraid to say you can be an artist

:16:50. > :16:51.and you can be engaged. He was a genius and he won the Nobel Prize

:16:52. > :17:03.for literature, our IP. We ended there. Thank you. `` RIP. Stay with

:17:04. > :17:07.us on BBC News. At the top of the Allah, we have more of the talks in

:17:08. > :17:24.Geneva aimed at reducing the crisis in eastern Ukraine. `` hour. Now, it

:17:25. > :17:25.is time for Sportsday. Hello, welcome to
