:00:00. > :00:13.world gymnastics Championships in Glasgow.
:00:14. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:16. > :00:21.With me are the former trade minister Lord Digby Jones
:00:22. > :00:35.Let's have a look at those front pages, or some of them. The
:00:36. > :00:39.Financial Times says David Cameron and George Osborne are looking for
:00:40. > :00:48.an emergency brake on laws affecting economies outside the US own. A new
:00:49. > :00:52.report here saying that young people suffering the worst economic for
:00:53. > :00:55.several generations. The Independent has the beast that China has
:00:56. > :01:02.announced the end of its one child policy. The Guardian features the
:01:03. > :01:05.China story along with the news that the report from the Chilcott enquiry
:01:06. > :01:10.into the Iraq war is scheduled to appear next summer. Spending on
:01:11. > :01:16.credit is at its highest for a decade, borrowers owe ?176 billion,
:01:17. > :01:19.according to the Metro. The Telegraph says one Anne Boleyn 's
:01:20. > :01:25.trust is making patients wake twice as long for help if they dial 111,
:01:26. > :01:30.even if have a life-threatening condition. The police have demanded
:01:31. > :01:33.the power to see the Internet browsing history of everybody in
:01:34. > :01:41.Britain. And a police pilot scheme is telling victims of crime to call
:01:42. > :01:51.them on Skype. Let's get started, with the Financial Times. This is a
:01:52. > :01:55.bit complex, on picket a bit. The top helicopter view would be that
:01:56. > :01:59.this will happen a lull in the next few months, a newspaper of an
:02:00. > :02:05.inclination ovary give up, and they will lead with a leak or
:02:06. > :02:11.understanding that puts the state in Europe or, out of Europe argument
:02:12. > :02:15.onto the front page. No other newspaper is carrying this, the
:02:16. > :02:23.others refer to it in little columns. It is a leak, the Financial
:02:24. > :02:33.Times wants to stay in Europe, they say you have the Eurozone and these
:02:34. > :02:37.19 countries, amongst 28 of the EU, in one currency, one basic financial
:02:38. > :02:44.management, with all of the problems that causes, and the biggest
:02:45. > :02:50.financial centre in the world, with respect to New York, is London, it
:02:51. > :02:56.is not in the euro. You have got this impetus in Brussels, mainly led
:02:57. > :03:00.by the French, who say, we will do anything to move the power out of
:03:01. > :03:06.London and into Frankfurt, into Paris. If you are London, you say,
:03:07. > :03:11.we want to be in the EU but not the euro. We cannot understand why you
:03:12. > :03:15.keep passing these laws which are hurting London more than anywhere
:03:16. > :03:22.else. If you are in the Eurozone, you say it is because we do not want
:03:23. > :03:27.another 2008 crisis, but outside, you say, it has worked for years.
:03:28. > :03:32.George Osborne and David Cameron are going to Brussels and saying, as
:03:33. > :03:37.part of the reform package I want to put to the British people, will you
:03:38. > :03:40.say you will leave our market alone and stop interfering? If you are
:03:41. > :03:47.friends, you will say, certainly not. If you are London, you will
:03:48. > :03:53.say, yes, I do. Spin doctor work going on, they are under pressure to
:03:54. > :03:57.say what their stance is, because a number of countries and foreign
:03:58. > :04:05.ministers have said, we do not know what the Brits are negotiating.
:04:06. > :04:08.There is pressure on those who stay in against those who stay out,
:04:09. > :04:14.because we do not know with or not being Norway or Switzerland will
:04:15. > :04:20.make us more independent, stronger, able to organise bilateral deals
:04:21. > :04:23.with, say, India, China or the US. This is apparently the key thing for
:04:24. > :04:29.George Osborne in the negotiation which will strike people as bizarre,
:04:30. > :04:36.because it is technocratic, they would have expected the key plank to
:04:37. > :04:42.be migration, subsidies. David Cameron will make immigration high
:04:43. > :04:49.up the agenda, but for George Osborne, this is very important. In
:04:50. > :04:52.the first paragraph of the first column, it breaks into something
:04:53. > :04:57.else which strikes me as important, Standard and Poors warned, you come
:04:58. > :05:02.out of Europe, we will cut your rating. That is a wonderful scare
:05:03. > :05:09.story put out by those who want to stay in Europe. There will be
:05:10. > :05:14.another one that will say, if you do not come out, it will be the other
:05:15. > :05:23.way. You will get a lot of this. These are independent agencies with
:05:24. > :05:27.couple bottomed reputations. No. They have opinions, like everybody
:05:28. > :05:36.else. It depends what governs their opinions. The thing that gets me is,
:05:37. > :05:42.if you are heading for a negotiation on reform, you do not want to say, I
:05:43. > :05:47.am going after that, because when you do not get it, you have failed
:05:48. > :05:53.before you even start. At some point, you have to declare your
:05:54. > :05:59.hand. We are agreeing! If you do not do that, somebody like me, I do not
:06:00. > :06:10.want to stay in and on reform Europe,... What does reform look
:06:11. > :06:15.like? Is this reform? There will be so much of this. Henry, the Daily
:06:16. > :06:22.Telegraph, the top story, patients punished. Yes, for calling 111, the
:06:23. > :06:26.alternative to 909. People often call it because they may have deemed
:06:27. > :06:36.their condition. To have been life-threatening. Or they do not
:06:37. > :06:41.want to burden the 999 system. The service, is Coast ambulance, decided
:06:42. > :06:43.to delay helpful patients who may have suffered from strokes or other
:06:44. > :06:50.potentially lethal conditions because they called 111 instead of
:06:51. > :06:55.999. If they had called 999, and Anne Boleyn 's should get to you
:06:56. > :06:58.within eight or nine minutes, but this service allowed itself an extra
:06:59. > :07:03.ten minutes to reach those people. This is a bridge of the rules, the
:07:04. > :07:11.NHS is investigating. I live in that area. Kent, Surrey. We were talking
:07:12. > :07:19.about this, it is difficult to understand why. A rule introduced
:07:20. > :07:25.without consent from on high to say, dial 111, we will take 18 minutes,
:07:26. > :07:31.dial 999, we will take eight minutes, but what is the
:07:32. > :07:38.justification? It seems as though an administrator is arbitrarily doing
:07:39. > :07:45.it. Unless somebody says that as a rule, it is playing with lives. The
:07:46. > :07:51.thing that will annoy people, this trust is refusing, despite attempts
:07:52. > :07:56.by the media, to say how many patients have been affected, whether
:07:57. > :08:04.anybody died or who introduced it. It says, we look after Nick Owen! As
:08:05. > :08:10.long as he is dialling 111, we will get there within 30 seconds! When it
:08:11. > :08:17.comes to the NHS, everybody knows there is greater demand, but do more
:08:18. > :08:25.funding to with it at your peril, especially at local level. Your
:08:26. > :08:30.turn, divided written, generation betrayed, this is one of their
:08:31. > :08:35.special stories. It has been carried in the Independent as well, the
:08:36. > :08:39.sister paper. What are they saying? Take spot on, this is one of the
:08:40. > :08:46.great unspoken divisions in our society. The worst economic
:08:47. > :08:55.prospects for generations. How old were you when you bought your first
:08:56. > :09:03.house? About 21. 21. 26. This lot are going to be 30, 35, that is one
:09:04. > :09:06.of the best ways of explaining this. I am not sure people will be buying
:09:07. > :09:11.houses like they'd used to. They cannot afford it, most of them will
:09:12. > :09:14.live to their 90s, so they will have to save more for their retirement
:09:15. > :09:19.and have pension contributions taken off them, so they will have less
:09:20. > :09:22.spend ability, they cannot look forward to the same size of
:09:23. > :09:29.pension, they will work longer and have less at the end of it. They can
:09:30. > :09:34.not afford to buy a house. There is an educational side, this has come
:09:35. > :09:40.from the equality and human rights commission, Watchdog, look at a huge
:09:41. > :09:45.range of socio economic groups, and white schoolboys born into poverty
:09:46. > :09:49.fare the worst in education, bottom, below a range of other
:09:50. > :09:54.ethnic groups, including African Caribbean boys, who were receiving
:09:55. > :10:03.great attention for a long time, 28.3% of white boys receiving free
:10:04. > :10:08.school meals got five GCSEs in England, Chinese pupils, even those
:10:09. > :10:15.on free school meals, got around 76.8%. It is not just a British
:10:16. > :10:22.issue, it is a western democracy issue, America, France, Germany,
:10:23. > :10:27.Australia, Canada. I am not too sure it is relevant. It is another
:10:28. > :10:34.barometer. You are talking about age of first house. Comparing with China
:10:35. > :10:40.is not a fair comparison. It is Chinese children in Britain. What is
:10:41. > :10:48.important is no politician of any party will have a fix. Society has
:10:49. > :10:51.gone past that, we were the baby boom generation, people came home
:10:52. > :10:57.from the war, and they bred like bunny rabbits. It is true. You had a
:10:58. > :11:05.bulge in the population, and they never had it so good. The medical
:11:06. > :11:18.advances, employment, they were building houses. The story does not
:11:19. > :11:22.say who has betrayed whom. Is this generation -- has this generation
:11:23. > :11:29.been betrayed, and by whom? The implication is that we have done it.
:11:30. > :11:36.Guilty as charged? You have become the oldest oration, where you had
:11:37. > :11:43.been part of your own generation! China. What an introduction! I do
:11:44. > :11:53.not want to associate myself with that! It came from Digby! It
:11:54. > :12:00.abandons its famous policy. Introduced by the former premier,
:12:01. > :12:04.because he and the Politburo were concerned about a booming
:12:05. > :12:12.population. And the terror of famine. They credit it with
:12:13. > :12:15.preventing an extra 400 million births, but the population still
:12:16. > :12:19.stands at nearly 1.4 billion. They are relaxing the rules, people will
:12:20. > :12:24.be allowed to have two children as opposed to one. Some say this is
:12:25. > :12:30.good, it shows that the Politburo is listening and understands and can --
:12:31. > :12:34.but others say they are doing it for economic reasons because the
:12:35. > :12:39.population is too old. They are going to get old before they get
:12:40. > :12:48.rich. This will take a long time. It is generational, and in so many
:12:49. > :12:52.parts of China this policy felt away as China got richer, and people did
:12:53. > :12:57.not impose it quite so much, and so they are calling it for what it has
:12:58. > :13:01.been. I am sure that is not for the whole of China. What we have to
:13:02. > :13:07.understand is they have a deep fear of famine. This sorted that out, but
:13:08. > :13:12.the price they have paid is that they do not have enough people in
:13:13. > :13:18.their 40s and 50s, especially men, to look after the 70 and
:13:19. > :13:22.80-year-olds, so you have got loads of 70 and 80-year-olds who are
:13:23. > :13:29.falling on the state as a burden, because they have none of the family
:13:30. > :13:32.to look after them. And the issue of infanticide, and 30 million or so
:13:33. > :13:38.Chinese men will not be able to find a Chinese partner. History shows
:13:39. > :13:41.that countries with large numbers of unmarried or partnered men are more
:13:42. > :13:45.likely to pursue aggressive militaristic foreign policy is. We
:13:46. > :13:54.have to stop, thank you. We have rushed through. I should call! We
:13:55. > :13:58.might come to that. If we are lucky. It is time now, I think, for
