:00:00. > :00:00.of 24 degrees. A bit of everything as we move into the weekend, hot and

:00:00. > :00:20.humid, and then turning pressure on Sunday.

:00:21. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:26. > :00:29.bringing us tomorrow. Tomorrow's front pages...starting with... The

:00:30. > :00:32.FT leads on fears over one of Portugal's biggest banks which led

:00:33. > :00:37.to a sharp selloff of shares across European markets.

:00:38. > :00:40.Money worries of a different kind feature in the Metro. The paper says

:00:41. > :00:44.young women are getting into debt at twice the rate of men their own age

:00:45. > :00:47.as they try keep up with celebrity lifestyles.

:00:48. > :00:51.The Telegraph leads on a major health study that shows men who have

:00:52. > :00:57.vasectomies are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer.

:00:58. > :01:00.The Guardian reports on the concessions the Prime Minister made

:01:01. > :01:01.in order to secure cross party support for emergency surveillance

:01:02. > :01:04.laws. The Independent also leads on those

:01:05. > :01:07.emergency laws and says the Prime Minister is planning to reintroduce

:01:08. > :01:14.what they call a 'snoopers' charter where people's social media and

:01:15. > :01:17.internet history would be recorded. And the top story in the Express top

:01:18. > :01:21.story reveals that a million more people are to be offered free weight

:01:22. > :01:23.loss surgery in a bid to stop them developing diabetes and heart

:01:24. > :01:26.disease. The Mail also leads on that story,

:01:27. > :01:29.saying it means two million people may be eligible for the surgery

:01:30. > :01:33.overnight. And The Mirror has a story about a

:01:34. > :01:36.mother who said she could intuitively tell a man she met a

:01:37. > :01:45.random had received her dead son's heart in a transplant operation. So

:01:46. > :01:53.let's begin... We will start with the Daily Mail. Thousands more to

:01:54. > :01:56.get obesity operations on the NHS, a call for a huge increase in surgery

:01:57. > :02:03.and even obesity charities condemn it. It is an interesting story. One

:02:04. > :02:10.in four of us is classified as obese and they think by 2050, half of us

:02:11. > :02:17.will be. The cost are actually huge for the NHS. Something has to be

:02:18. > :02:23.done and this is attracting quite a bit of controversy. They have

:02:24. > :02:27.criticism from campaigners and patient groups saying that these

:02:28. > :02:31.people should just eat less and exercise more. I think they are

:02:32. > :02:34.wrong on this account. When you get to be morbidly obese, it is a

:02:35. > :02:38.psychological issue and doctors across the world recognise that the

:02:39. > :02:43.most cost`effective way to deal with it is through bariatric surgery as

:02:44. > :02:52.it is the only thing that works. A recent report came out that

:02:53. > :02:59.obesity, studied in 138 countries, over 30 years, none of them had

:03:00. > :03:10.managed to cut the growth. It looks as if the Daily Mail, the way it has

:03:11. > :03:16.written this, even obesity charities condemned this. I think the issue is

:03:17. > :03:19.that lots of people who are perhaps watching this programme now,

:03:20. > :03:27.themselves or their relatives would like various drugs to combat cancer,

:03:28. > :03:33.expensive drugs and they are denied those treatments often by the NHS

:03:34. > :03:41.and they think, why are overweight people who are. Way largely because

:03:42. > :03:49.they eat too much going to get this and I can't? At Eden Hazard he

:03:50. > :04:04.suggested, 10% of the whole cost will be about treating lifestyle

:04:05. > :04:13.related diseases including obesity `` Ian. What do policymakers do with

:04:14. > :04:18.that? They are saying that if we don't tackle the obesity crisis, and

:04:19. > :04:22.this is one of the best ways to do it, we will not be able to afford

:04:23. > :04:26.any kind of expansion of healthcare in years to come. We need to

:04:27. > :04:31.differentiate between people who are minorly obese or overweight and

:04:32. > :04:36.issues with people who are morbidly obese which is what we are talking

:04:37. > :04:50.about. It is quite interesting, in country's that have healthcare, this

:04:51. > :04:57.is often paid for. `` countries. It is quite cost`effective however much

:04:58. > :05:02.the opposite it might seem. We will have to grapple with these big

:05:03. > :05:07.issues or the NHS will not survive. Berlin puts its foot down over US

:05:08. > :05:12.espionage and expels a spy. We found out not long ago that the national

:05:13. > :05:20.security agency was spying on Germany and in fact, bugging the

:05:21. > :05:22.mobile of Angela Merkel. Now we have all of this happening. It seems to

:05:23. > :05:33.be added to the Cold War developing. OK maybe not. I think

:05:34. > :05:38.the truth is, most nations spy on one another, for commercial or other

:05:39. > :05:41.reasons. America has a big interest at the moment in knowing if Germany

:05:42. > :05:52.is getting close to Russia and Britain. We spy? I think we do,

:05:53. > :06:01.wobbly not an America. Do you believe that? `` probably. I do. I

:06:02. > :06:11.don't think there is the kind of surveillance that we see an America

:06:12. > :06:14.and Germany `` in. Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe and

:06:15. > :06:18.they are close to Russia for energy supplies and trade and therefore, a

:06:19. > :06:25.may not take the kind of action that is needed to restrain it Russia in

:06:26. > :06:28.places like Crimea and Ukraine because of these commercial

:06:29. > :06:33.interests and so America is spying on Germany to understand how to deal

:06:34. > :06:37.with that issue. Isn't that the kind of thing that Americans could get

:06:38. > :06:43.anyway by talking to the ambassador or Angela Merkel? I do get is pretty

:06:44. > :06:53.basic and rudimentary information that is usually eavesdropped on. ``

:06:54. > :06:58.think it is. But if it is her mobile phone, they may be getting some

:06:59. > :07:01.pretty sensitive information. We are talking about people within the

:07:02. > :07:05.heart of the defence administration within Germany, so that would be

:07:06. > :07:12.sensitive information and it is a big issue for both countries. Where

:07:13. > :07:21.are we with Mac we will stay with the Financial Times and Wonga. The

:07:22. > :07:24.Church of England has decided to cut its ties with Wonga as the

:07:25. > :07:28.Archbishop of Canterbury famously said that payday lenders were a

:07:29. > :07:32.scourge on society and should be dealt with but in fact, the

:07:33. > :07:37.organisation that he runs has been deeply involved. It has not been a

:07:38. > :07:41.correct episode for the Archbishop and it is probably his biggest

:07:42. > :07:48.public scandals since he took over so it is quite embarrassing. He

:07:49. > :07:51.famously said that he was going to rival Wonga and use his commercial

:07:52. > :07:56.acumen to set up a church led sort of loan system which I don't think

:07:57. > :08:04.we have seen much evidence of. He is a former city councilman as well. He

:08:05. > :08:10.knows how the markets operate. It was a big mistake, wasn't it? Not

:08:11. > :08:16.knowing that the church itself was involved with Wonga. It was

:08:17. > :08:20.embarrassing and what was just alluded to is that he made a big

:08:21. > :08:27.deal, shortly after he became The Archbishop of Canterbury, to say

:08:28. > :08:33.that he would outcompete Wonga. What the church does no is that church

:08:34. > :08:43.numbers are down in almost every part of the country `` know. One of

:08:44. > :08:49.the things they usually get from every parish is collection money and

:08:50. > :08:56.they are not getting it lately. So when he said that the Turks would

:08:57. > :09:05.outcompete Wonga, `` church, my genuine question is why? The big

:09:06. > :09:17.thing, the big promise that he made was an alternative offer. It was a

:09:18. > :09:21.smart approach, but where is it? It would be quite sad if the church

:09:22. > :09:26.doesn't follow through. They need to get some reporters on it to ask

:09:27. > :09:40.questions. We need to sort this out. The Guardian. What is all this

:09:41. > :09:49.about? A link to offshore tax havens at Nando's? . The Guardian has been

:09:50. > :09:52.doing quite a bit of work on this and have been looking into everyone

:09:53. > :10:00.who has money stashed away. Not just the Guardian. The Times as well. Am

:10:01. > :10:09.I allowed to say that? Well this is just the latest one. The best weapon

:10:10. > :10:15.against all this tax nonsense with company after company being caught,

:10:16. > :10:19.we saw Starbucks as well, the public are now saying that there needs to

:10:20. > :10:22.be far more transparency as the government has talked about it but

:10:23. > :10:27.haven't actually done anything in terms of closing down these tax

:10:28. > :10:31.havens. Air is too much going on. The strongest power will be just to

:10:32. > :10:40.say that they will boycott these places. Are you going to forsake

:10:41. > :10:47.your chicken? I haven't been for a long time. They are not doing

:10:48. > :10:51.anything illegal, are they? They are not. We can condemn companies that

:10:52. > :10:59.take aggressive forms of tax avoidance. Starbucks had struggled a

:11:00. > :11:07.little bit since the revelations came out but we have a ludicrously

:11:08. > :11:09.complicated tax system and the only people who seem able to understand

:11:10. > :11:14.it are the highly trained and highly paid accountants. If the government

:11:15. > :11:17.really wants to deal with this problem coming they will have to

:11:18. > :11:22.simple by the tax system so that people cannot exploit these

:11:23. > :11:25.loopholes. Because these people will always be able to afford the best

:11:26. > :11:31.lawyers and accountants and they can always say that there is a moral

:11:32. > :11:35.imperative to pay your fair share of taxes but beyond that the government

:11:36. > :11:43.can't do much. You are absolutely right. They make it easy for them to

:11:44. > :11:49.avoid tax. The harder we make it, the better it will be. It should

:11:50. > :11:53.also be made known so that the public can decide whether they want

:11:54. > :12:03.to give money to these people. We're going to go to the Independent. 1

:12:04. > :12:08.million workers from public sector unions were out today protesting

:12:09. > :12:18.cuts and pay freezes. The government says that less than half of that

:12:19. > :12:22.took part. I am not sure that is the most attractive public`sector

:12:23. > :12:26.servant that we have ever seen but that is the one the Independent has

:12:27. > :12:32.chosen. It is interesting that he is almost on his own there, because

:12:33. > :12:36.this is what the government has said. It was supposed to be one of

:12:37. > :12:39.the biggest days of industrial action that Britain has seen and the

:12:40. > :12:45.evidence seems to be that most of the services that were due to be

:12:46. > :12:50.affected, most public`sector workers actually didn't go on the picket

:12:51. > :13:04.lines and went to work. But one in five schools in England were

:13:05. > :13:10.closed. These strikes were triggered by just 20% of members of trade

:13:11. > :13:14.unions voting and yet, big disruption is possible when you have

:13:15. > :13:20.very small turnouts. I think that is why the Conservatives are trying to

:13:21. > :13:25.say that you can only have a strike if 50% of people take place in a

:13:26. > :13:32.ballot. We had all the discussions yesterday, some MPs returned with

:13:33. > :13:39.less than 10% of the vote. No MP had more than 50%. These arguments have

:13:40. > :13:46.been swirling around for hours. I suppose the point is that everyone

:13:47. > :13:52.agrees, the government agrees, and says that it is a good thing that

:13:53. > :13:59.public`sector workers are in a worse state now than they were four years

:14:00. > :14:04.ago. Gas, but they also don't have pension security `` yes. But when

:14:05. > :14:13.you talk about the private sector, you are including bankers from the

:14:14. > :14:17.Royal Bank of England. There has been a pay increase of 8% in many

:14:18. > :14:22.places but if you take out bankers and a certain people who are earning

:14:23. > :14:30.much more than your teacher or your garbage man, it is not point to be

:14:31. > :14:32.right. There is no doubt that it is tough to be in the private sector

:14:33. > :14:39.and I don't think anyone should hide from that. The correct answer is to

:14:40. > :14:43.consider whether children not going to school is the issue. Nobody

:14:44. > :14:48.doubts that they're working very hard in the public`sector and Don

:14:49. > :14:52.reduced budgets but the reality is that we cannot afford to carry on

:14:53. > :14:57.spending as we are. The debt is still rising and we have to resolve

:14:58. > :15:06.it. Strike is not the best way to resolve it, in my opinion. On to the

:15:07. > :15:16.Telegraph. Oh, nevermind. I have been told that it is the Metro. Here

:15:17. > :15:21.we are. I can see why you really want to do this story. It is

:15:22. > :15:35.important. Women/the plastic to keep up with female celebrities ``

:15:36. > :15:40.flash. We have just been talking about the debt we are in as a nation

:15:41. > :15:45.but Britain has a twin debt crisis and that his household and personal

:15:46. > :15:51.debt. We have the highest in Europe and it is still very dangerous. That

:15:52. > :15:58.is with interest rates at extraordinary historically low

:15:59. > :16:03.levels. It seems a bit fun at face value but it isn't. Lots of young

:16:04. > :16:09.people are already in huge amount of debt. If interest rates start to

:16:10. > :16:12.rise, which is what the Bank of England has said will happen, people

:16:13. > :16:19.are going to be in trouble and this is the sad thing, we think the

:16:20. > :16:22.economy is growing and some people are beating to think that bad

:16:23. > :16:36.economic times are behind us what we have big challenges ahead ``

:16:37. > :16:41.beginning. Many thanks for that. We will have much more on the expulsion

:16:42. > :16:46.of the US intelligence official in Berlin by the German government

:16:47. > :16:48.following allegations of spying but now we will hear about the sports.
