21/04/2014 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. With me are James Rampton of the Independent,

and the broadcaster and journalist, Lynn Faulds Wood. Tomorrow's front

pages... The Telegraph highlights an NHS report which says at least a

thousand patients are dying needlessly each month from acute

kidney injury, a treatable condition which can be avoided if people are

kept hydrated. The Guardian says Gordon Brown will intervene in the

Scottish referendum debate for the better together campaign with a

claim that Scottish pensioners will be better off if Scotland stayed

within the UK. The headline in the Metro, farewell, Peaches. The

funeral of Peaches Geldof took place today. The Daily Mail warns off the

mortgage inquisition, saying prospective home`buyers will be full

to answer very detailed questions about every aspect of their finances

and spending. In the Son, there are also pictures of the funeral of

Peaches Geldof. Also speculation that David Moyes is on the verge of

being fired. The financial Times close legislation is due to be

introduced which will allow energy companies greater freedom to fracked

shale gas. Let's begin with the papers. Let's go to the Daily

Telegraph. I must say, we have a change from seeing the Duke and

Duchess of Cambridge on the front page. It is this Mr Morley 's. We're

all a bit Republican. `` it is this David Moyes. There is a picture. He

does look awful. The game is up, they say. Well, he is still

Scottish! He could not have made worse fist it. His biggest crime,

Jim Wright who wrote the biography of the club, I think, put things on

it. His biggest crime is not turning down the job. How do you follow

somebody like Sir Alex Ferguson? He must have had his head turned.

Strong leaders always get a vacuum afterwards. He should have waited

until somebody else did it terribly badly and then taken the job. You

could have written the script, couldn't you? Jim is an excellent

sport reporter. The writing was on the wall for him a few weeks ago.

There was a banger having `` a banner hanging in Old Trafford

calling him, the chosen one. There was a private plane with a banner

behind it saying, the wrong one. When the fans turn against you in

such spectacular way, I think you are taste. He has aged ten years in

the last nine months. It is written on his face. It is a picture of

failure. I hear desperately sorry for him. Manchester United have made

terrible mistakes. He had a six`year contract. They are out of the

champions league. This is ?30 million worth. This is huge business

which has gone down the Swanee. It is a massive business. What is the

essence of the problem? It is all well and good to say, there is Sir

Alex Ferguson sitting in the crowd but something has gone wrong with

the way Manchester United play football. Fire Ahe has lost the

dressing room. Robin van Persie has criticised the style of manager.

Nemanja Vidic is leading, that is telling itself of the have been

rumblings going on that dressing room has not really swung behind

him. If you do not have the dressing room, football is, at that level, a

great deal is played in the head. These players won the championship

easily last year and they are now in seventh position. They are still

good players but they are not responding to this style of

leadership. They were all scared of Alex Ferguson and they were scared

to play badly. I am not scared to play badly for him and they

gradually lost more and more respect. The flying teacups

concentrated the mind. He was very angry and he gave them the hairdryer

treatment. Teacups would fly but, goodness me, he got results. Let's

go on to the same stories on almost every front page, in the Daily Mail

and the money he might get, ?10 million. It does seem quite

extraordinary. He is not resigning. He will wait until he is sacked and

then given the money. You cannot buy back your reputation. I have a

feeling this is such a horrible fall from grace he will never recover

from it in his own head. Just very quickly, who might succeed? There

was talk last summer that they want Jose Mourinho before he went to

Chelsea. The best manager in Europe with Pep Guardiola. He is locked

into a huge contract. The real problem is that you need a

replacement who is to most to be going to be better. There are not

that many good managers staying with good clubs. They do not come on the

market that offer. The Twitter money seems to be on a German manager.

Let's go back to the Daily Telegraph story. Poor care kills 1000 hospital

patients a month. I have a horrible feeling it killed my dad. When you

go in for an operation and they are talking here about heart operations

and so on, you have to be kept hydrated. The kidneys get starved of

blood. That is apparently not happening with people with diabetes.

This is a proper study by the NHS improving quality organisation,

whatever that is. It is saying this could be up to eight times worse

than MRSA. It could be killing, I think it was 1000 people a month.

I'd back roads that is the figure here. English hospitals are five

times worse at this. It is more prevalent in English hospitals than

all the other countries they have compared it with. It is a terrible

story. Any clue as to why it happens? With kidneys, it is about

drinking water, taking water. The potential scandal is it is eminently

avoidable, this problem. Doctors and nurses are extremely busy and rushed

off their feet. If you keep an eye on hydration levels, they are

suggesting 40,000 people a year may be dying of this condition. That is

eight times more than are being killed by superbugs. It is costing

the NHS ?1 million a year. This is fixable. Do something about it and

you could save all these lies. The fingers pointed in this Daily

Telegraph article, nurses are not keeping an eye on water. They are

not checking water levels and electrolytes and so on and also

doctors are not adequately checking methods. Having had a friend in

hospital whose partner mercifully checked these each time, there were

quite often wrong. I have two sisters who are nurses and they are

great nurses. A lot of the nursing I have seen has been terrible. I spent

a lot of time in hospitals and the care is very patchy. I had to go

into a nursing meeting and tell them all who I was. I used to present a

watchdog and I am appalled by the way you are caring for my friend.

That is terrible in British hospitals. It is especially the

elderly, it says in here. Diabetes, it tends to be people who are older

and these heart operations. They tend to be older. The good news is

the deaths are avoidable. If they make an issue, it is on the front

page of the Daily Telegraph. In the Guardian, Gordon Brown does not have

a lot to say these days. Here he is popping up. Tomorrow he will make a

speech. You are a resident Scott, off you go. I met Gordon. When you

meet him, he is charming and charismatic. What you should

understand if he has terrible character flaws. Whatever he tells

people to do, they will probably want to do the opposite. In the

Scandinavian countries, if you tell them something is good for their

health, they are homogenous, they will all do it. Utah the British

what to do, we are individualistic and will say, I will do what I damn

well like. In Scotland, Cameron has been telling the Scots they are

better together and do not vote for independence. So, they are saying, I

think I will actually. He is saying that if you stay within the UK, the

pensions prospects for Scottish people be much more favourable. The

pot they can draw from in London will be much more substantial and

they will be Karen Teed for a much longer period. He has the documents

which seem to back that up. I agree with Lynn. The difference between

the two campaigns now has shrunk to three points. It was 20 points three

months ago. David Cameron went and held a cabinet in Aberdeen. I have a

Scottish friend who said to me, that is the moment I decided to vote

yes. The English By Minister is coming here and holding the Cabinet

in our country and telling us what to do. The independent strain is

saying, I do not want them to do that, I will do the opposite. There

have been arguments there is not a really big beast like Alex Salmond

on the yes campaign. That is what the other side have lacked. Alistair

Darling has been doing a good, solid job. The reason that Gordon Brown

has not cropped up before is because the two of them did not get on but

now, finally, Gordon Brown is burying the hatchet. He is more

popular in Scotland than down south. However, I do think you have to

understand the British psyche and work with us as individualistic

people. Do not tell us what to do, give us choices. I would say nothing

at all until September and hope the SNP shoots itself in the foot. The

more people who are perceived as from Westminster a comment, the more

that will either the Scottish and the more likely they are to vote

yes. Alex Salmond is very clever. He is a very clever politician. Never

underestimate him. Is sad day with the Peaches Geldof funeral. The

Metro has the Coffin. It is decorated with pictures of

children, pets and so on. A sad old business altogether. I was doing

Watchdog. There were only four channel so I was pretty famous then.

You still are. I decided to keep back away as much as possible from

my son because it is really difficult for the children are

people who, I am minorly famous but it is very difficult. I think this

poor girl has probably had a tragic life. She did yo`yo dieting, she was

fat and then she was very slim. I do not think the family has helped by

this picture on the Coffin. It is rather mocking. Bob should keep

everything as low`key as possible. We will not know for weeks how she

died. We may never know. It is completely tragic and for those

children as well. I just think that this is again the cult of celebrity

and wanting and wanting to be noticed. The more we can let our

children, if we have some fame, grow up without that overshadowing them,

the better. I agree, fame is the mask that eats

the face. It becomes your personality, the way that the world

knows you. We don't know what happened in this case. In general,

people who desire celebrity at all costs, you know, it can have very

tragic effects. Quickly back to the Daily Mail and their main story, the

mortgage inquisition. This is fascinating. We were talking off

camera about the bubble that's taking place in the housing market

in London at the moment. It's going off the scale. This is quite an

interesting new move as a reaction to the crash in 2008. Mortgage

lenders are going to be more strict now about who they lend to. They're

going to ask about how much you spend on food, what you spend on

childcare, even how much you spend at the gym in order to be absolutely

certain people are getting mortgages and are responsible with their

money. I don't think that's a bad thing, if it helps to cool down the

housing market it might have a positive effect. Interest rates can

only go one way in the future, going up and a lot of people will get

trapped. They're looking like they're going up. It looks like

they're going to stop interest`only mortgages. I don't know much about

it, it feels like a good thing. You only pay interest for ages and the

capital at the end. Yes and they've teeser ones, low at the beginning

and you pay more later on and so on. The very word teaser in relation to

buying a house, which is the biggest thing you ever do. Indeed. We have

to leave it there for the moment. Thank you very much indeed for the

moment. Stay with us here on BBC News. At 11.00pm, President

Presidential elections will be taking place in Syria, in spite of

Jopp going fighting in the country `` in spite of ongoing fighting in

the country. The UN condemns the decision. Up next it's Sportsday.
