of 24 degrees. A bit of everything as we move into the weekend, hot and | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
humid, and then turning pressure on Sunday. | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
bringing us tomorrow. Tomorrow's front pages...starting with... The | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
FT leads on fears over one of Portugal's biggest banks which led | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
to a sharp selloff of shares across European markets. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Money worries of a different kind feature in the Metro. The paper says | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
young women are getting into debt at twice the rate of men their own age | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
as they try keep up with celebrity lifestyles. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
The Telegraph leads on a major health study that shows men who have | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
vasectomies are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
The Guardian reports on the concessions the Prime Minister made | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
in order to secure cross party support for emergency surveillance | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
laws. The Independent also leads on those | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
emergency laws and says the Prime Minister is planning to reintroduce | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
what they call a 'snoopers' charter where people's social media and | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
internet history would be recorded. And the top story in the Express top | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
story reveals that a million more people are to be offered free weight | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
loss surgery in a bid to stop them developing diabetes and heart | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
disease. The Mail also leads on that story, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
saying it means two million people may be eligible for the surgery | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
overnight. And The Mirror has a story about a | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
mother who said she could intuitively tell a man she met a | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
random had received her dead son's heart in a transplant operation. So | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
let's begin... We will start with the Daily Mail. Thousands more to | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
get obesity operations on the NHS, a call for a huge increase in surgery | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
and even obesity charities condemn it. It is an interesting story. One | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
in four of us is classified as obese and they think by 2050, half of us | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
will be. The cost are actually huge for the NHS. Something has to be | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
done and this is attracting quite a bit of controversy. They have | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
criticism from campaigners and patient groups saying that these | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
people should just eat less and exercise more. I think they are | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
wrong on this account. When you get to be morbidly obese, it is a | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
psychological issue and doctors across the world recognise that the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
most cost`effective way to deal with it is through bariatric surgery as | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
it is the only thing that works. A recent report came out that | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
obesity, studied in 138 countries, over 30 years, none of them had | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
managed to cut the growth. It looks as if the Daily Mail, the way it has | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
written this, even obesity charities condemned this. I think the issue is | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
that lots of people who are perhaps watching this programme now, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
themselves or their relatives would like various drugs to combat cancer, | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
expensive drugs and they are denied those treatments often by the NHS | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
and they think, why are overweight people who are. Way largely because | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
they eat too much going to get this and I can't? At Eden Hazard he | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
suggested, 10% of the whole cost will be about treating lifestyle | :03:50. | :04:04. | |
related diseases including obesity `` Ian. What do policymakers do with | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
that? They are saying that if we don't tackle the obesity crisis, and | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
this is one of the best ways to do it, we will not be able to afford | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
any kind of expansion of healthcare in years to come. We need to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
differentiate between people who are minorly obese or overweight and | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
issues with people who are morbidly obese which is what we are talking | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
about. It is quite interesting, in country's that have healthcare, this | :04:37. | :04:50. | |
is often paid for. `` countries. It is quite cost`effective however much | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
the opposite it might seem. We will have to grapple with these big | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
issues or the NHS will not survive. Berlin puts its foot down over US | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
espionage and expels a spy. We found out not long ago that the national | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
security agency was spying on Germany and in fact, bugging the | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
mobile of Angela Merkel. Now we have all of this happening. It seems to | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
be added to the Cold War developing. OK maybe not. I think | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
the truth is, most nations spy on one another, for commercial or other | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
reasons. America has a big interest at the moment in knowing if Germany | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
is getting close to Russia and Britain. We spy? I think we do, | :05:42. | :05:52. | |
wobbly not an America. Do you believe that? `` probably. I do. I | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
don't think there is the kind of surveillance that we see an America | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
and Germany `` in. Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe and | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
they are close to Russia for energy supplies and trade and therefore, a | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
may not take the kind of action that is needed to restrain it Russia in | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
places like Crimea and Ukraine because of these commercial | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
interests and so America is spying on Germany to understand how to deal | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
with that issue. Isn't that the kind of thing that Americans could get | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
anyway by talking to the ambassador or Angela Merkel? I do get is pretty | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
basic and rudimentary information that is usually eavesdropped on. `` | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
think it is. But if it is her mobile phone, they may be getting some | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
pretty sensitive information. We are talking about people within the | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
heart of the defence administration within Germany, so that would be | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
sensitive information and it is a big issue for both countries. Where | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
are we with Mac we will stay with the Financial Times and Wonga. The | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
Church of England has decided to cut its ties with Wonga as the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Archbishop of Canterbury famously said that payday lenders were a | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
scourge on society and should be dealt with but in fact, the | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
organisation that he runs has been deeply involved. It has not been a | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
correct episode for the Archbishop and it is probably his biggest | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
public scandals since he took over so it is quite embarrassing. He | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
famously said that he was going to rival Wonga and use his commercial | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
acumen to set up a church led sort of loan system which I don't think | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
we have seen much evidence of. He is a former city councilman as well. He | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
knows how the markets operate. It was a big mistake, wasn't it? Not | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
knowing that the church itself was involved with Wonga. It was | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
embarrassing and what was just alluded to is that he made a big | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
deal, shortly after he became The Archbishop of Canterbury, to say | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
that he would outcompete Wonga. What the church does no is that church | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
numbers are down in almost every part of the country `` know. One of | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
the things they usually get from every parish is collection money and | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
they are not getting it lately. So when he said that the Turks would | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
outcompete Wonga, `` church, my genuine question is why? The big | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
thing, the big promise that he made was an alternative offer. It was a | :09:06. | :09:17. | |
smart approach, but where is it? It would be quite sad if the church | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
doesn't follow through. They need to get some reporters on it to ask | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
questions. We need to sort this out. The Guardian. What is all this | :09:27. | :09:40. | |
about? A link to offshore tax havens at Nando's? . The Guardian has been | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
doing quite a bit of work on this and have been looking into everyone | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
who has money stashed away. Not just the Guardian. The Times as well. Am | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
I allowed to say that? Well this is just the latest one. The best weapon | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
against all this tax nonsense with company after company being caught, | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
we saw Starbucks as well, the public are now saying that there needs to | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
be far more transparency as the government has talked about it but | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
haven't actually done anything in terms of closing down these tax | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
havens. Air is too much going on. The strongest power will be just to | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
say that they will boycott these places. Are you going to forsake | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
your chicken? I haven't been for a long time. They are not doing | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
anything illegal, are they? They are not. We can condemn companies that | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
take aggressive forms of tax avoidance. Starbucks had struggled a | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
little bit since the revelations came out but we have a ludicrously | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
complicated tax system and the only people who seem able to understand | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
it are the highly trained and highly paid accountants. If the government | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
really wants to deal with this problem coming they will have to | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
simple by the tax system so that people cannot exploit these | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
loopholes. Because these people will always be able to afford the best | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
lawyers and accountants and they can always say that there is a moral | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
imperative to pay your fair share of taxes but beyond that the government | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
can't do much. You are absolutely right. They make it easy for them to | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
avoid tax. The harder we make it, the better it will be. It should | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
also be made known so that the public can decide whether they want | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
to give money to these people. We're going to go to the Independent. 1 | :11:54. | :12:03. | |
million workers from public sector unions were out today protesting | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
cuts and pay freezes. The government says that less than half of that | :12:09. | :12:18. | |
took part. I am not sure that is the most attractive public`sector | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
servant that we have ever seen but that is the one the Independent has | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
chosen. It is interesting that he is almost on his own there, because | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
this is what the government has said. It was supposed to be one of | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
the biggest days of industrial action that Britain has seen and the | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
evidence seems to be that most of the services that were due to be | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
affected, most public`sector workers actually didn't go on the picket | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
lines and went to work. But one in five schools in England were | :12:51. | :13:04. | |
closed. These strikes were triggered by just 20% of members of trade | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
unions voting and yet, big disruption is possible when you have | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
very small turnouts. I think that is why the Conservatives are trying to | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
say that you can only have a strike if 50% of people take place in a | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
ballot. We had all the discussions yesterday, some MPs returned with | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
less than 10% of the vote. No MP had more than 50%. These arguments have | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
been swirling around for hours. I suppose the point is that everyone | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
agrees, the government agrees, and says that it is a good thing that | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
public`sector workers are in a worse state now than they were four years | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
ago. Gas, but they also don't have pension security `` yes. But when | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
you talk about the private sector, you are including bankers from the | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
Royal Bank of England. There has been a pay increase of 8% in many | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
places but if you take out bankers and a certain people who are earning | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
much more than your teacher or your garbage man, it is not point to be | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
right. There is no doubt that it is tough to be in the private sector | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
and I don't think anyone should hide from that. The correct answer is to | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
consider whether children not going to school is the issue. Nobody | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
doubts that they're working very hard in the public`sector and Don | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
reduced budgets but the reality is that we cannot afford to carry on | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
spending as we are. The debt is still rising and we have to resolve | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
it. Strike is not the best way to resolve it, in my opinion. On to the | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
Telegraph. Oh, nevermind. I have been told that it is the Metro. Here | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
we are. I can see why you really want to do this story. It is | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
important. Women/the plastic to keep up with female celebrities `` | :15:22. | :15:35. | |
flash. We have just been talking about the debt we are in as a nation | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
but Britain has a twin debt crisis and that his household and personal | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
debt. We have the highest in Europe and it is still very dangerous. That | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
is with interest rates at extraordinary historically low | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
levels. It seems a bit fun at face value but it isn't. Lots of young | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
people are already in huge amount of debt. If interest rates start to | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
rise, which is what the Bank of England has said will happen, people | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
are going to be in trouble and this is the sad thing, we think the | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
economy is growing and some people are beating to think that bad | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
economic times are behind us what we have big challenges ahead `` | :16:23. | :16:36. | |
beginning. Many thanks for that. We will have much more on the expulsion | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
of the US intelligence official in Berlin by the German government | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
following allegations of spying but now we will hear about the sports. | :16:47. | :16:48. |
