Welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
With me are Caroline Frost, entertainment editor | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
at the Huffington post and the Parliamentary journalist Tony Grew. | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with... | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
The FT has a story we've been covering here | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
on BBC News this evening, saying Amazon is to open a high street | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
book shop in a move the paper describes | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
A panel of ten specialist judges will be able to veto anti- terror | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
actions, in the Times? They will be able to execute responsibility to | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
oversee warrants for operations. It has previously been a government | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
operation, something the government have been fighting. It also gives us | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
a heads up of the scale of the anti- terror operations going on. The Home | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Secretary is going to announce it tomorrow? What do you think security | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
services will think of this? It is a hugely significant change in the way | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
it thinks are done in Britain. For many other countries it is a vital | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
part of their structures. The Secretaries of State for Britain and | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Northern Ireland have been the only ones who could authorise the police | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
forces against terrorists and crime suspects. It is a significant | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
change. A step away from the executive, towards judicial? What | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
will happen is those ministers will still issue permission for warrants. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
It does show the scale of what the security services are issuing, seven | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
a day. We will need a significant swathe of judges. These operations | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
can also be very time sensitive. Ministers will issued the warrants, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
judges will have the opportunity to strike them if they feel there is | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
not enough evidence to warrant the surveillance. The security services | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
could find themselves in a situation where the government wants to go | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
ahead and the judges have voted it down. Would wonder how often the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
judges would say no to the security services. They are not judges who | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
are, by trade, experts in this field of surveillance and intelligence. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
They would have to be specially trained in these parts, whereas the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
security services have a long history of dealing with it. Let's | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
talk about The Metro, quite a few of the papers have quite prominently | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
featured the news that junior doctors will be offered an 11% pay | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
rise. That is to call off the strike that has been threatened. Apparently | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
the BMA are rather sceptical? It reminds me of when the NHS was | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
founded, which was that they stop the doctor's mouths with gold -- | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
stuffed. Jeremy Hunt wants to remove a complex banding system within the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
way to new doctors are paid. They will get paid extra depending on | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
their responsibilities. Unfortunately, the banding accounts | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
for about 40% over the basic pay for junior doctors, so he is talking | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
about an 11% rise in basic pay. It seems that doctors are still very | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
sceptical about it. Jeremy Hunt wants to avoid a strike of EV could | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
cool winter period for the NHS. It will remain to be seen what the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
doctors make obvious and whether they will go for it. At the moment, | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
given the anger amongst the BMA and junior doctors, I'm not sure if it | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
will be enough. He could be facing significant industrial action. Other | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
public sector workers might say, they are getting 11%, we want more. | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
Exactly. Suddenly everybody starts shifting. The thing about doctors | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
and nurses is that traditionally, they do have the public on their | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
side in a way that perhaps other public sector workers do not. For | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
example, in my social media feeds all you see at sympathetic offerings | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
of support and outpourings of indignation for doctors and nurses. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
They have a big and colourful demonstration, the other day they | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
had quite a big one. -- had. The whole idea of card sharks, grasping | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
credit card companies are trapping people in a cycle of debt. Up to 5 | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
million people? It is an interesting front page for the Sun. They are | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
talking about the fact that, as you said, there is ?61 billion of credit | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
card debt in Britain. There are 2 million people in arrears, 1.6 | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
million paying the minimum amount and this page is saying that the | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
undercut companies are not doing in. Out, keeping people in debt is more | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
profitable for them? That is certainly what the Sun is saying -- | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
but. The sun is calling for more help for these people. Would you say | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
it is the responsibility of the credit card companies or those who | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
have the debt? There is some advice, there are organisations. This report | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
comes from the Financial Conduct Authority, so it might just be a | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
first step. There could be penalties and sanctions if they don't deal | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
with it. Is the sub headline a bit harsh? They provide a service | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
whereby people can get hold of money quickly, so perhaps... There will be | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
people who see those words as they tautology, -- a, but Ken Clarke was | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
quoted as saying if everyone was forced to clear their mortgages they | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
would have only half a month's worth of savings. We are all in debt. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Speaking of debt, let's talk about the tax man. The Telegraph have a | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
story about the tax man zero entering his phone. Half of the | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
calls go unanswered. This is a report, for years they have been | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
telling the government that it is a shambles and now it is even worse. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Millions of people have put incorrect information on their tax | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
forms because they cannot speak to someone. It questions whether the | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
government is doing a good enough job of raising the tax threshold. | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
There are significant cuts to public services and benefits. It is not | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
just about hate MRC, you'll also about the -- it is also about the | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
effects of tax -- HMRC. People just want to talk to someone online, as | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
well. Taking a phone call is more Labour intensive. They would have to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
really consider it worth their while financially to make that kind of | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
decision. On the same page, the taxman is getting it again for | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
failing to penalise wealthy tax evaders. Trying to get away from | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
financial matters, the Times and the express have got this report which | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
sounds very interesting. If you go for a stiff walk for half-an-hour, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
it is actually better than going to the gym all calling for a run. I | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
don't quite understand how it works? I don't understand either -- | :09:20. | :09:31. | |
going. It appears to be taken from the annual health survey for England | :09:32. | :09:44. | |
between 1999-2012. -- or. Scientists believe because humans have been | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
walking upright, it is a natural behaviour that may reduce the risk | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
of obesity. They talk about men and women of the age of 50 experiencing | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
strong benefits. This has reached a sweet spot in terms of not being too | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
demanding. We know that if any incentives are made too demanding, | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
British public will tear it up. A 30 minute walk, five days a week. We | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
all think we are probably capable of it. Do you do it? May be. I walk | :10:17. | :10:32. | |
around in circles -- maybe. I follow their instructions of not going to | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
the gym. A half-hour walk is very good view. -- good for you. The FT, | :10:38. | :10:49. | |
Amazon kind of reinventing the wheel. They are opening a real | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
bookshop in Seattle which sells real books in a real shop with shelves? | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Its history has gone full circle. This is the great machine that has | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
put so many independent booksellers at of business. For them to suddenly | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
sniffed the zeitgeist and think they will now give something back to the | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
community May be regarded with very wry chuckles. I wonder if it is a | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
1-off? I think what they are more interested in is the consumer | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
behaviour. I'd say that was their interest. It is a response to the | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
market. It makes an interesting point, the way that Amazon's | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
business model works is that it takes orders from people, get their | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
money and then purchasers the books. It is the opposite of a traditional | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
bookseller, who has two buy the stock and hope people will come in | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
and buy it. As you said, it is completely alien to the whole | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
business model. The idea of wandering into a bookshop and having | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
a browse around, looking at the books, it has kind of gone out the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
window? You can't do that on the Amazon website. It tries to, it has | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
hugely sophisticated algorithms where if you liked one book, you | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
might also like this. But, it is a machine. Do you prefer physical | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
books? Yes. Yes. No algorithm will ever be able to recreate what | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
happens when you go into a shop and see the actual physical look. -- | :12:48. | :12:57. | |
book. It is about having their way of it in your hand. It is probably | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
no coincidence that this is happening in the sweet purchasing | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
months just before Christmas. You can't give somebody a file... Well, | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
you can but... You could buy them an e-book. Talking about things that | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
are new, talking about Instagram which is a favourite with many. This | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
is the Australian Instagram lady with more than half a million | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
followers, who quit saying it is not real life? That's a shock. Why did | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
she think it was real life? People her age are blurring the lines. | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
There is a watt of data of people between 15 to 25, their identity | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
kind of has a word combination of online and real life -- a lot. What | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
she has done is, she is very popular amongst young women. She has deleted | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
thousands of photos but also gone back to some photos and pointed out | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
that they are fake. She has recaptured a photo inset, I was paid | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
to wear is -- these clothes. She also said she used to be one of | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
these women who looked at perfect women on Instagram and wanted to be | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
them. Now she is one, and it doesn't mean anything. It is a message but | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
it is not going to stop anything with Instagram. I am wondering how | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
she got the message out. She made an 80 minute YouTube video. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
