:00:00. > :00:00.Manchester city to take charge of MLS team New York City. That is

:00:00. > :00:13.coming up in the next 15 minutes. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:14. > :00:18.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Susie

:00:19. > :00:21.Boniface, the Mirror columnist also known as Fleet Street Fox, and

:00:22. > :00:38.Kiran Stacey, Energy Correspondent Tomorrow's front pages are in. Some

:00:39. > :00:42.of them are. The Metro reports on the doping scandal that has rocked

:00:43. > :00:43.the world of athletics. Russia could be banned from taking part in

:00:44. > :00:52.athletics events at next year's Olympics. The Financial Times

:00:53. > :00:54.reports that David Cameron was heckled by campaigners wanting to

:00:55. > :01:02.see Britain leave the European Union. Supporting of Aung San Suu

:01:03. > :01:05.Kyi are pictured on the front of the Guardian, one in particular, a very

:01:06. > :01:14.vibrant photographs. More allegations of payments made to NHS

:01:15. > :01:22.bosses. And the Times says that having a roll of fat around your

:01:23. > :01:25.waist doubles the risk of an early death.

:01:26. > :01:30.No comment! We will talk about that later. Let's

:01:31. > :01:36.talk about this extraordinary Russian doping story. Spies, bribes

:01:37. > :01:44.and threats. I suppose what is interesting is, this is not just a

:01:45. > :01:49.huge doping scandal but allegedly it is state-sponsored, back to the days

:01:50. > :01:53.of Soviet communism, Eastern European communism, when we knew

:01:54. > :01:59.that all of those athletes were in state programmes of doping? Exactly.

:02:00. > :02:04.Although this is a shocking report, it is not a massive surprise. I

:02:05. > :02:08.remember watching the Olympics in the 1980s and watching the East

:02:09. > :02:13.German athletes. It was quite clear they were obviously taking

:02:14. > :02:16.steroids. They were obviously cheating. We already know that in

:02:17. > :02:22.China they have got these ridiculous schools that push children through

:02:23. > :02:28.from a very young age and force them to do all kinds of stuff which is

:02:29. > :02:34.designed to bring them on and make them Olympic athletes. If you

:02:35. > :02:38.succeed in the Olympics, you are somehow more prestigious as a

:02:39. > :02:44.nation. We think that in Britain. But we tend not to hothouse them in

:02:45. > :02:48.the same way. It is not massively shocking. I am more shocked by the

:02:49. > :02:53.fact that Sebastian Coe, a man who is numbered two to a man being

:02:54. > :03:00.investigated for taking bribes, he was there for seven years while all

:03:01. > :03:04.of this was allegedly going on. Involved at numbered two and now at

:03:05. > :03:07.number one in an organisation that has had serious problems with his

:03:08. > :03:13.processes in order to allow this to happen. He is now investigating it.

:03:14. > :03:16.It strikes me as something an outsider should be investigating.

:03:17. > :03:22.Not to say that he has done anything wrong, of course. But it should be

:03:23. > :03:25.an outsider. You have got to look clean as well as be clean. If

:03:26. > :03:30.Sebastian Kehl is in charge that it is not going to look clean.

:03:31. > :03:38.Sebastian was closely associated with the London Olympics. --

:03:39. > :03:44.Sebastien Coe. The Metro says the London games was sabotaged. It seems

:03:45. > :03:50.such a shame because it was a wonderful event. S it feels like the

:03:51. > :03:57.moment when we got the big report into Lance Armstrong. The details in

:03:58. > :04:03.this report are absolutely incredible. 325 pages. Athletes told

:04:04. > :04:08.that if they test positive they have to pay amounts of money to make it

:04:09. > :04:12.go away. A shadow laboratory set up on the outskirts of Moscow. Getting

:04:13. > :04:20.rid of positive results. Cheating on an epic scale. Russian intelligence

:04:21. > :04:25.services operating in those laboratories, as though the KGB have

:04:26. > :04:30.nothing else to do with their time! I think this is really serious. You

:04:31. > :04:35.see cycling now, and outsiders do not trust it. Athletics will go

:04:36. > :04:39.through that period. The thing about Lord Coe, he has been at the top of

:04:40. > :04:44.the sport a long time, but a couple of weeks ago when these stories

:04:45. > :04:50.started appearing, he said it felt like an attack on athletics. Those

:04:51. > :04:56.are the words of a man who is ready to do a root and branch clear out.

:04:57. > :05:02.That will worry fans, frankly. I am sure there is more to come on that.

:05:03. > :05:06.Let's talk about another story, Britain's relationship with the

:05:07. > :05:10.European Union. The FT says that Cameron is flagging national

:05:11. > :05:20.security in the whole Brexit struggle. He is eyeing a quick deal.

:05:21. > :05:25.Tomorrow he will set out his key demands for European Union reform.

:05:26. > :05:29.Yes, the FT has managed to quote some of them. They are really

:05:30. > :05:32.boring, as you would expect. They are really dull. They are the kind

:05:33. > :05:37.of thing that would make you not want to read on or even as a

:05:38. > :05:46.journalist write the article. Cameron is a PR man. He knows how PR

:05:47. > :05:52.works. If you do not want anybody to pay attention, ride the most boring

:05:53. > :05:56.press release you possibly can! He wants to write competitiveness into

:05:57. > :06:01.the DNA of the European Union. Come on. The fourth demand is about

:06:02. > :06:05.restricting access to welfare payments among migrant workers. He

:06:06. > :06:10.says this is the most difficult. He is even going to start quoting some

:06:11. > :06:14.figures saying they are ridiculously high. As long as he makes this as

:06:15. > :06:18.boring as possible, journalists will not be able to maintain their

:06:19. > :06:21.interest to keep reporting on it. Keep it as boring as possible and

:06:22. > :06:27.the voters will not maintain their interest in trying to find out about

:06:28. > :06:30.it. So when we come to a referendum, nobody will be remotely interested

:06:31. > :06:37.and we will all vote for the status quo, which is what he wants. Do you

:06:38. > :06:50.find it boring? No! Absolutely love it! The demands are vague. We know

:06:51. > :06:57.that -- what David Cameron wants to do. The idea of restricting access

:06:58. > :07:01.to tax credits is the most difficult of these things to do. There are

:07:02. > :07:06.plenty of people in Europe with think it goes against the entire

:07:07. > :07:11.make-up of the EU, to try to discriminate against EU workers in

:07:12. > :07:14.this way. It all sounds very bland but I think there is something in

:07:15. > :07:22.here that will be quite difficult to achieve. I am sure he will find a

:07:23. > :07:26.way of calling it a success. We have got another story. The NHS looking

:07:27. > :07:31.beyond taxpayers for funding, needs to look beyond taxpayers are

:07:32. > :07:35.funding? This is the head of the hospital regulator, David Bennett,

:07:36. > :07:40.who says we're close to the limit of what people are prepared to pay.

:07:41. > :07:45.There is a funding hole. We have to find some way to fill it without

:07:46. > :07:49.using tax. That opens up suggestions about increased privatisation,

:07:50. > :07:54.selling things off, paying to see your GP etc. The other option would

:07:55. > :07:58.be to explain sensibly to the great British public, who are fairly sane,

:07:59. > :08:03.most of them, that if they want an NHS, which most of us do, you need

:08:04. > :08:09.to pay more for it than we currently are. We have an ageing population.

:08:10. > :08:15.We have more health needs. We have obesity. We have to pay more taxes.

:08:16. > :08:23.The Guardian, on that point, says that George Osborne, his spending

:08:24. > :08:27.means that the British state will be spending 44% of spending on health

:08:28. > :08:32.and the elderly. That is a staggering proportion. The highest

:08:33. > :08:42.proportion since records began in the 1990s. It tells us two things.

:08:43. > :08:45.One, that our society is getting older and sicker and it is taking

:08:46. > :08:53.more to keep it running. The other thing is it tells us that older

:08:54. > :08:57.people vote. Osborne has cut funding for everything else. One of the

:08:58. > :09:03.reasons for that is that older people vote. The classic is the

:09:04. > :09:10.triple lock on pensions. Almost the most disastrous policy the coalition

:09:11. > :09:15.enacted. The minimum pensions can go up is by 2.5% a year. That is a huge

:09:16. > :09:19.chunk of public spending. When everything else is being smashed, if

:09:20. > :09:23.you're guaranteeing this massive chunk, you cannot balance of

:09:24. > :09:28.spending. It is inevitable all the money goes on health care. A quick

:09:29. > :09:36.look at the Guardian. A lovely picture from my and my. -- Myanmar.

:09:37. > :09:45.Aung San Suu Kyi poised for power. Is she? She is banned by the

:09:46. > :09:50.constitution from taking power. Although she has won some

:09:51. > :09:53.parliamentary elections, she will not have total control of the

:09:54. > :10:00.Government or the country. Therefore she will not be able to enforce lots

:10:01. > :10:04.of reforms which people may want. Therefore people would become more

:10:05. > :10:07.disappointed in her. This is a British grandmother. Her children

:10:08. > :10:11.are British, her husband was British. She is a British granny who

:10:12. > :10:17.is devoted 15 years of her life to being in detention. Finally,

:10:18. > :10:26.middle-aged spread and all that kind of thing. A roll of fat doubles the

:10:27. > :10:31.risk of an early death. You are definitely not in that category.

:10:32. > :10:35.When you look at the headline you think, this sounds fairly obvious.

:10:36. > :10:41.If you are fat, you're more likely be unhealthy. The story is actually

:10:42. > :10:47.unusual and interesting. If you have a roll of fat you are more likely to

:10:48. > :10:51.die sooner than somebody who is all be so all over. Somehow being fat

:10:52. > :10:54.everywhere else gives you protection against the damaging effects of

:10:55. > :11:04.being fat in the middle. They have no idea why this is. Get obese all

:11:05. > :11:09.over or lose weight. I have got a bit of a Tommy, so I am getting

:11:10. > :11:13.worried. Nothing more from the BBC canteen tonight.

:11:14. > :11:15.See you again at half past 11. That is it from me for now. Now it is

:11:16. > :11:42.time for Sportsday. Lord Coe wants answers by the end of

:11:43. > :11:43.the week with Russian athletes facing
