29/07/2014 The Papers

degrees. Heading towards the second half of the week, or the weekend, it

looks like the weather will go downhill. You are up`to`date with

the weather. Hello, and welcome to our lookahead

at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Kevin

Scofield and Kate Devlin. Tomorrow's front pages, starting

with the Telegraph, which leads with the story we have been covering, the

Ebola outbreak in Africa. There are warned it could reach the UK. And,

the photo of Louis Smith, who won gold at the Commonwealth Games. He

makes the front page on the Guardian as well, and the paper also says

that construction workers involved in building venues for the World Cup

in Qatar are being paid less than ?5 per day. The Times search for a new

BBC chief in disarray, saying the corporation is struggling

new head for the BBC trust. The Daily Mail claims that Britain is

spending ?5 billion per year on tax credits for migrant workers. A money

picture on the front of the Independent. That is Gaza, and the

headline, darkest day yet. The Daily Mirror also touching on Ebola,

saying the world is now on red alert. The Sun has a different

health crisis, saying the new NHS boss is telling doctors and nurses

to slim down and set a good example to the rest of us, particularly to

obese patients. Let's take a look at what we have on

the front page of the Daily Mirror. Again, talking about Ebola. Do you

remember the film Outbreak, with Dustin Hoffman, where the world

suddenly wakes up to this nasty disease in Africa, and we think,

what are the implications for us? 90% of people who contract with

disease diet. There is no cure. `` die. Although it is far away in

Africa, it could have implications for here, and they are pretty

obvious. At the moment it is a small risk, we are told, but doctors are

to be on high alert for anyone displaying symptoms. Then it becomes

a question of whether we have the capability to deal with it. You

think we do have the capability? Paddy think we fared with? SARS``

how do you think. Isolation is the important thing, and individual

companies will have to be looking for symptoms, and we will have to

have a serious plan for dealing with it. The question is whether we have

large`scale hospitals who are experts in these kinds of diseases,

and they could isolate things in the past, whether they still exist in

the UK today. Let's have a look at the Times. They are talking about

sanctions on Russia. Do you think they have gone far enough? I think

they have gone further and more quickly than many of us expected. At

first, it seemed the governments were talking the talk, but not

following through. Now, it seems the EU and US have got together and

co`ordinated their response, and are trying to hammer Russia with quite

severe sanctions. My concern is that sanctions can be a bit of a blunt

instrument, and quite often, the people they are intended to hurt,

those in the upper echelons of government, they escaped the effect

of those. It is those who are already struggling in Russia who

could be affected, and it could bolster Putin's position, because it

could give rise to some nationalistic fervour. His poll

ratings are still quite high, as he placed the Vic card. We have to see

how Putin reacts, but he is not the type to back down `` the victim

card. The mood after MH17 since you have really changed in Germany. It

has changed here. We were being briefed that he European economies

must be accepting of some pain over this, but it has to happen. Although

we already see some complaints from British companies this evening, like

BP, that there might be hit by sanctions, I think I agree with

Kevin about how far they have gone and how good it is that they have

managed to co`ordinated. The problem is that we are trying to stop Russia

from funnelling arms into disk part of Ukraine `` into this part of

Ukraine, and there may have to be further measures.

It is not going to work. It is talking like they're going to war

with Russia. David Cameron that some of the victims at Downing Street. ``

met some. It is shocking that some of the bodies are still in the

Ukraine and they haven't been identified. Your heart goes out to

the families . It must be a nightmare. If there

is something that summarises the situation in Gaza, it is the one on

the front of the Independent. It is difficult and sad. As someone from

Northern Ireland who remembered when the peace accord was signed in the

1990s, I hoped that that short lived agreement gave us... To see this, it

is so sad. All the messages coming suggest that it is a long conflict

and there is no end in sight. Both sides are digging in. It doesn't

seem that the outside powers are having much influence on the

Israelis, who effectively hold all the cards. There has been limited

condemnation. Ed Miliband has gone furthest in saying that this is

wrong. They need to be more forceful, but they always seem to

drop back from that. There is no end in sight. Kate draws a parallel with

Northern Ireland. That was resolved eventually, but you can't see it

here. This picture sums it up. There is the expression, but the rest of

it is devastated. How will they be able to recover? How much money will

be needed to repair the country? It has such huge economic problems

anyway. The effect that the continual bombardment is having on

people 's lives is incredible. The difficulty with the international

response to the concerned that if the international community, it is

very much negative towards Israel, it might act to confirm the siege

mentality that is happening in the Israeli government and it may make

things worse. It is a difficult situation. There is a lot written

and the last few days with Tony Blair, the Middle East envoy. What

is the talk Westminster about what he is doing? Apparently he threw a

sexy birthday party the other night. Critic said he should be trying to

broker an agreement. I find it ironic. People criticise him and say

he doesn't do anything, and then they say he is the wrong person.

They say that the Middle East is a flame. He is in a difficult

situation. He won't leave his post. He has to keep working for peace.

How much influence he can have remains to be seen. Let's look at

the Telegraph. This is a picture of another Gold medal for England. That

is Lewis Smith, the gymnast. The other article is about not letting

the taxman sees cash from bank accounts. This hasn't come in yet,

but experts say there are plans for the taxman to seize money from

people post marked personal bank accounts could lead to wrecked

lives. `` people's personal bank accounts. What do you think?

Governments aren't very good at this kind of thing. The thought that the

taxman would get it right in every case, I don't know. They see people

would get a fair warning. You would have four strikes. It is the thin

end of the wedge. If it is talking about tax being taken, it is a blunt

instrument. It could be reduced to two warnings. I worry about civil

liberties and tracking text messages and phone calls. It affects people

's lives on a daily basis. There are people who dodge tax. There are

people in Italy that walk into bars and they make you sign a cheque at

gunpoint. These are for people that don't pay. Are these people that

don't have very much money to begin with? Have they moved house? It is

open to all sorts of error. Maybe someone who has lost a couple of

grand, and for whatever reason can't pay back, he is going to have his

money taken away. I am about it. It doesn't say anything about the

corporate accounts of star barks. `` Starbucks. These people have

corporate lawyers. I don't like the idea that they can take your life

savings. To the Sun. It is about slimming down. What is this about?

First of all, hats off to the Sun for an outstanding headline again.

This is about the new NHS chief executive. He is saying that the NHS

can't be telling people they have to lose weight. We are clearly in the

grip of an obesity epidemic. Fat doctors are telling them to lose

weight. A large proportion of the NHS staff are overweight. If you are

being told by a chubby doctor to lose weight, you might want to tell

them that themselves. They have to change the food because it is

setting a bad example. There has to be incentives for the NHS staff to

lose weight and set an example. The Express lead with a similar story

about what we should be eating. They are talking about five portions of

fruit and vegetables. They say the doctors are giving one piece of

advice and eating burgers and chips. I like that the NHS boss is putting

his money where his mouth is. He said he has had to lose three stone

because he used to be fact. `` fat. They spend a lot of hours in

surgery. They stack. We all do it because we work 70 hours. `` silly

hours. They probably work long hours and aren't paid as much as they

should be. Do you eat five a day? Always. I never miss it. He could be

looking at other figures. Example, the number of NHS staff that don't

have a flu jab is shocking. Take your own medicine. We are going to

the Scotsman. It is about a dating website matching the wrong partners.

This is about a website called OK Cupid. It has about 70 million

websites worldwide. They were telling people that they didn't have

a good match. They were about 30% matched, but really they were about

90% matched. People follow through with this. OK Cupid defend this.

They say what happened is that people messaged more people than

they should have. The idea is that it is not always the way the world

works. So their potential partner had a 90% rating, but the people

they were matched with hat a 30% rating. They were being used as

guinea pigs. These websites are based on trust. You put in your

details and you rely on them to come up with someone who is going to be a

good match. If they are telling you that this person is a 90% match, you

will believe that. Did they say how many people struck up the fruitful

relationship? It is difficult with a long`term relationship. Facebook did

this a couple of weeks ago. They changed what people were reading.

The messages from the friends of things either slightly more positive

or negative. The experiment showed that people 's emotions are easy to

manipulate. I would have thought that any fight `year`old girl in the

playground could have told you that. But `` five`year`old. They do say

that opposites attract, so that is interesting. Thank you for that.

Stay with us here on BBC News. At midnight, more than a hundred

Palestinians killed in the deadliest 24 hours in Gaza since the current

conflict began. But coming up next it's time for Commonwealth Games

Sportsday with Katie Gornall.
