will round up the snooker results. And Mark Cavendish wins the third `` | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
a third tour. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Beth Rigby, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Deputy Political Editor at the Financial Times and the writer and | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
comedian David Schneider. Tomorrow's front pages. Starting with the | :00:26. | :00:38. | |
arrest of Gerry Adams, on the Telegraph. The Sinn Fein president | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
is being questioned tonight about the murder of Jean McConville in | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
1972. The Mail leads on the same story and suggests the arrest could | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
jeopardise the peace process. According to the Guardian there's | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
been a huge surge in workers tied to zero`hour deals. The main picture is | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
of Jeremy Paxman, who's quitting Newsnight. GPs' leaders have told | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
the Times that hundreds of thousands of patients face losing their family | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
doctor because of funding reforms. The FT has news of government | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
advisers apparently making money during the privatisation of Royal | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Mail. The Independent's front page shows Bob Hoskins, who's died aged | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
71. The paper calls him the "geezer's geezer". The actor also | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
features on the Metro's front page. The paper's lead story is a warning | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
from the World Health Organization about the effectiveness of | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
antibiotics. Starting with The Daily Mail. Gerry | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Adams arrested over we do's murder. He has been questioned at the police | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
station tonight and this murder was back in 1972, this woman who | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
disappeared. Gerry Adams has made it clear that he had nothing to do with | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
it. Yes, that's what he is saying. I suppose, for me as an Englishman | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
away from it all, it is so easy to get misty eyed about what happened | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
in Northern Ireland. Martin McGuinness was with the Queen, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
things we couldn't have imagined back in the 70s. It is very | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
affecting but I was in Northern Ireland a couple of weeks ago and it | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
is just there underneath the surface. People. What worries me | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
here is that when you hear the details about this, it's a terrible | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
thing. `` underneath the surface for some people. It will bring up bad | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
feelings that's just beneath the surface for some people. Some people | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
say this accusation has been bubbling around for some years and | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
there is some political implication on the timing of it. But it's a | :02:38. | :02:49. | |
worry because things have moved on but the temptation is to revisit | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
those old wounds. Sure. The unionists argue that to a degree | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
they haven't done that well out of the peace process. On some fronts, | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
particularly in their eyes in getting those IRA members who they | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
believe were responsible for murders and killings and shootings and so | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
forth. They would say that this is a good night tonight, that Gerry Adams | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
has been arrested, but Peter Taylor who has covered this conflict for | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
many years says Gerry Adams has been arrested hundreds of times on a | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
number of issues and has never been charged. It interesting you say | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
that. In terms of how this came about, it was because Gerry Adams | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
was indicated by a former IRA man, who has now died, in this Boston | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
College where he names Gerry Adams as the man who gave the direct order | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
to kill Jean McConville, who I didn't realise but she was actually | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
a widow who had ten children. It is tragic. By all accounts, she was | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
dragged away from her children out of the house. Awful. Sinn Fein have | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
said that their view is that this... The fact this has come up | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
now is actually because the individuals are going to great | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
lengths to try to uncover it because of what you said, caused their is a | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
feeling that there are things that have happened in the past that | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
haven't been properly dealt with and that basically the Republicans have | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
got away with it. And so, yes, probably there is some element of | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
feeling like maybe it is time to have some retribution. There isn't a | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
balance between the absolutely understandable need for justice and | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
knowing what happens to the victims and the peace process and I think | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
that's what the comfort letters are about, the amnesty, negotiated as | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
part of the agreement. It is how you balance bringing up the past and | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
those animosities with justice. The desperate situation that it was in. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
Is interesting, the way the papers have covered it. Partly because it's | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
a braking and astonishing story, people are just beginning to see | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
what the locations could be. But the Telegraph have written it really | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
straight. The Mail, their take on it has been the fourth paragraph. `` | :05:26. | :05:37. | |
the applications could be. Full is `` it happens on both sides. The new | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
breed the details and you think, of course anyone connected will that | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
will want justice. `` then you read the details. Gerry Adams has been | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
arrested but he has made it clear over a number of years and tonight | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
that he had nothing to do with the murder of Jean McConville back in | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
1972. Going on to the FT. Does it look as if this whole thing is | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
beginning to unravel? First of all the allegation is it was flogged off | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
to cheaply, then it was flogged to long`term investors. Quite a lot of | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
them sold their shares and made a killing within days or weeks. Now | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
this? You have hit the nail on the head. The issue was the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
government's defence on the sale of Royal Mail, the shares went up | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
nearly four `` 40% on the day of trading. There was a profit of ?750 | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
million on the share rate, which would have gone to the taxpayer had | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the deal being priced differently. It has turned out that there were 16 | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
investors that the government said were launched on investors, as you | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
said, who were meant to hold on to the shares, and it turns out that 12 | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
of them sold their shares very quickly, some of them after the | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
sale. What's more, Vince Cable released these names under duress | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
today. The government have resisted releasing the names, saying the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
legal requirements meant they couldn't but they did release them. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
The names is management. They had an allegation of shares. The investment | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
bank advised the government on the sale. Just to be clear, financial | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
institutions do have Chinese walls, whereby the investment banking arm | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
cannot talk to the asset and madame. Are completely separate | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
organisations. `` asset arm. Gravitationally this looks bad for | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
the government and this sale was meant to be the crowning glory of | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Vince Cable's tenure ship. `` in terms of reputation, this looks bad. | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
This story really shocked me. I am surprised they didn't want this | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
revealed. Everything about the Royal Mail thing, the government doesn't | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
know the price of milk, bread or the Royal Mail. The completely undersold | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
it. Maybe by ?1 billion? Imagine what it would do for the NHS. It | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
seems to have gone to their friends, his long`term investors. In terms of | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
mayfly it is long`term. I do have a bit of sympathy, to put the | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
government's case across. It was a difficult thing to pull this off | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
because if they had... If they had overpriced shares and retail | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
investors have bought in and Royal Mail staff had had shares and they | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
all had losses, it would have been absolutely awful. So they had to | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
price it in a way that there was an uptick... It had to be tempting. But | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
not 40%. You are presuming they had to do it. If you are going to float | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
something, you tend to under call it. There was no reason to float | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
it. We have seen how wonderful privatisation is with the | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
utilities. Why float it? They needed the money. It seems that a lot of | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
their friends, a lot of big businesspeople, have done very well. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Good mac also, other Secretaries of State, other business Secretary of | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
State, people have tried to do this. `` also. It was a success... There | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
is a bigger argument about whether governments should own industries or | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
not. If you say they shouldn't, they did restructure the business, they | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
got it away and they made a profit. You know, Cameron took a hammering | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
from Labour. I think they are going to keep digging in a mess. And not | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
just Cameron but Vince Cable will have problems with this. Under the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Times. Patients at risk as GPs face forced shutdown. It isn't looking | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
good for the government. Privatisation, we were told they | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
would be no top`down reorganisation of the NHS before the election and | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
there has been a top`down reorganisation, at the same time as | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
money being cut. Now it seems the latest catastrophic meltdown, the | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
quote GP leaders say, is in surgeries. They say there would be | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
enough money for GPs because of what the government calls a tidy up in | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
the complex payment system. That could mean that several... 98 | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
practices could close, almost 100 practices could close. We lurch from | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
crisis to crisis with the NHS. The government must have been so pleased | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
that there wasn't a flu epidemic, that we had a mild winter, from that | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
point of view. It just makes you feel that they need to address the | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
underfunding in the health service. They are so hands off, the patient | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
is ill and their solution seems to be to lock bit off the patient and | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
sell it. This is an interesting story because there has been the | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
whole NHS reorganisation and the wheels haven't come off. As you | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
said. They haven't. There haven't been big moments... Like a flu | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
epidemic, where suddenly there is chronic underfunding. This, to me, | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
is really dangerous for the government. The whole thing is that | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
Labour were always trusting of the NHS and the Tories never did. David | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Cameron managed to turn that around, partly because he obviously | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
used the service with his own late son, who sadly died. But he was a | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
really big back of the NHS and they turned their reputation around. They | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
do not want to go into an election with people beginning to think | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
that... It remains, you know, the big concern for voters. People love | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
it. They care about it and do not want to see the service depleted. | :12:29. | :12:42. | |
The Master inquisitor announces departure from the late show for a | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
new night. It feels like the end of an era. I was suspicious when he | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
grew his beard, when you are tired of shaving for work, you are tired | :12:54. | :13:15. | |
of life at the BBC. . I am always bright and perky. I have some of his | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
most famous interviews here. He was asked 12 times if he had threatened | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
to overrule, it takes nerves of steel to do that doesn't it? Not if | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
you have nothing else to say. He admitted that they were supposed to | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
go to a tape and that it wasn't ready. He got an award for that, for | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
asking the question 13 times. And then there was the Chloe Smith | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
interview. I felt sorry for her. She had to defend the indefensible. You | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
hang out with all of these politicians every day. He must be so | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
happy that he is going `` they. I would imagine especially the younger | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
lot who are more seasoned in the political answer, it will be | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
terrified if they have to go on his show and be up against him. Why | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
wouldn't you be? He has been so difficult. I don't know how they're | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
going to replace him. Maybe they just won't bother. It will be Ryan | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
Giggs as an interim presenter. We will now go to the front of the | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
Independent, a fantastic actor, Bob Hoskins has died at the age of 71. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
He described himself as a short, fat, broken middle`aged man with a | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
big nose and a bald head. I remember him as a teenager. The Long Good | :15:18. | :15:34. | |
Friday was such a fantastic movie. There is that fantastic scene when | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
he has all the gangsters out on the meat hooks and yelled at them. Just | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
his face, absolutely brilliant. I never actually worked with him, | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
which was sad but I have always heard that he is a lovely man. | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
Everyone says that when someone passes but I have heard that that is | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
true and yet he seemed so dangerous on screen and on stage and that was | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
a real quality. Such quality. It has been great having you many thanks | :16:13. | :16:28. | |
``, But coming up next it's time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
Sportsday. More Tears for Terry... It's Atletico through to the | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
