24/11/2015 The Papers

the final and from David Haye on his comeback to boxing after three years

out. That is coming up, but fast the papers.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are political commentator Miranda Green and Chris Hope,

the Daily Telegraph's Chief political correspondent.

The Financial Times leads with tomorrow's Autumn Statement,

saying the Chancellor will announce the biggest house building

George Osborne's plans also lead the Guardian - it says the axe is

The Metro goes with the Russian plane shot down by Turkey -

quoting President Putin as saying the action was a stab in the back.

The Times also has images of the plane and says Putin is

the Daily Telegraph has new guidance advising doctors to put

the protection of the public ahead of confidentiality and report

The greater risks of having a baby at the weekend are

The Daily Mirror has the same story, saying 770 babies die each year

And the Daily Express focuses on pensions and what could happen

to pensioners who rashly cash in their retirement savings.

I do not know about rationally cashing in, but let us look at a

story dominating the papers. The picture that is so striking. The

downing of the Russian jet by Turkey. It shows the dangers of

getting involved in a very compacted war zone. This Russian jet, the

Turks say went into their airspace. They were given 20 warning messages

in five minutes. And they were shot down. The Russians denied this. The

question is how will Putin react. The G20 meeting ended on a big note

with Putin saying that they could bring them all together and agree on

an alliance to attack ISIS. How worried should we be? It is a

dangerous moment. The independent's front-page story quotes resident

Obama asking everyone to remain calm. He says the priority is to

make sure the situation does not escalate. But we have a stand-off

between Russia and Nato. Turkey is guaranteed protection under the

terms of the organisation. Also, it is a dangerous moment because we

have had moments of progress with some sort of international joint

plan to tackle Syria. We have the quite successful G20, talks in

Vienna about the future of Syria and that UN resolution at the end of

last week. It was looking quite hopeful that despite this very

complex situation and Russia bombing all opponents to Assad, it looks as

if a web might be found to it. -- a way. Some of the analysts were

saying it is almost inevitable, because it is so confusion, the

situation. -- confusing. It is not the first time in Russian plane has

been warned. It looks as if this was going to happen at some point. The

illusion back to the Cuban missile crisis is very clever. -- allusion.

It is quite clean design. An extraordinary picture. We are

looking back right on 1962. What will Russia do next? It is very

evocative. The language has been very strong. We can now move on to

the FT. A couple of the paper is going big on the Autumn statement

coming out tomorrow. George Osborne, the things he will do and the things

he will not do. Fans of George Osborne will have a lot to him every

the TV. -- over. He has some political problems to try and

solve. As with so many chancellors, he has had some political

blindspots. He will have two correct some mistakes. Convincing

blue-collar Tories that he is on their side after the mistake that he

made a few weeks ago in announcing stringent cuts to working tax

credits. He has got to find a way of softening the blow to the working

poor and some other measures that will make it look as if he is

tackling the problems of ordinary people. One of those is housing.

According to this piece, 400,000 new homes. The question is, where are

they going? That is the concern of the Telegraph. Well -- where will

they go? These are affordable homes. We have got a huge boom in

population. They are trying to bring it down. The good news, there will

still be cuts. She is destined to get the deficit down. -- he is. We

have got a very narrow area to work with. They have been cutting things

the Tories have been strong on. That is what the Guardian looks at. They

are looking at the flipside. That is right. After Turkey and Paris, we

want to see more, not fewer police in the streets. That is right. He

has had battles with Theresa May to take over from David Cameron. Cannot

be an accident. It is because the deficit needs tackling and because

of the ring-fencing of other departments, but also because he is

insisting on building up a surplus. That really is debatable as to

whether it is such a virtue. Starting to damage the

infrastructure where we may need it. There are a lot of subplots. We will

be looking carefully at the faces on the front bench to see it who has

done well. But there is also the future leadership battle. That is

right. Theresa May, all will be watching her face with interest.

There is also the Business Secretary, who was seen to be

volunteering cuts for his own department. Onto the Times. We all

thought an interest-rate rise was some way off, but might not be.

Picking up on the remarks of Mark Carney. The idea is that they are

going to try and tighten access to new personal loans. The idea is this

could lead to further control and increased rates for all of us. There

is an argument that too much investing is also taking homes out

of the market. The Bank of England and quite a lot of economists are

worrying there might be another recession in the next few years.

That is what Mark Carney said today speaking to MPs on the Treasury. You

get negative equity and the rest of it. Going back to the Telegraph. An

interesting story, that GPs are being told that if they think one of

their elderly patients is not fit for driving, they should inform on

them, even though that would break patient confidentiality. This is an

alarming story. We should be worried about the idea that if you go to a

doctor with an element, some elderly people will not go to the doctor to

avoid losing their car, which they see as more important. -- ailment.

We have had a couple of incidents lately of elderly drivers causing

accidents or having accidents. There is a clear balance. They are saying

that the use of supposed to report it if they advertise patients to

stop driving and they carry on. -- doctors. These guidelines will make

it explicit that the protection of the public is more important than

maintaining patient confidentiality. That is quite a strong move for the

GMC to make. I would be worried about isolation from older people.

If you are living in a ruble area, the thought of losing your car, that

might be a massive change in lifestyle. -- rural. The Daily

Mirror. Betrayal of our babies, their headline. One of the worst

days to give birth in the hospital is the weekend. We know that there

is a problem with maternity departments at the weekend. It is

one of the few areas where understaffing and an incomplete

staffing affects patient help. -- health. Jeremy Hunt is under extreme

pressure on this idea of trying to spread the NHS to full

availability. That is why he is going through this battle with the

junior doctors. I think it is ever so slightly interesting, possibly

fishy, that these numbers are coming out. I was going to say. Bearing in

mind that this is the Daily Mirror, perhaps this will help Jeremy Hunt.

The Mirror has been a help for the government recently. Trying to make

doctors work longer. I must say, I had a baby at the weekend and it was

quite frightening. But that was not necessarily the fault of the

staffing levels. I am not sure what you can do about it. There might be

a case for beefing up staffing in particular areas, but not across the

whole piece. Today's announcement of more money is very interesting. Time

for one last story. One that is possibly the most eye-catching of

the day. The head of one of the biggest banks has turned around and

said, big pay packages and bonuses do not make bankers work harder. I

could have paid for that headline. People will be sane, thank God, a

banker talking sense. -- saying. He says, I have no idea why I was

offered a contract with bonuses promised. That is extraordinary. A

Yorkshireman from Harrogate telling it like it is. What is lost in

translation, he said it, he meant it. It kills all the arguments about

bonus culture. It will make him a bit unpopular among fellow bankers.

Do you think it will have any effect, however? Good point. There

are attempts to change the way bonuses are being paid. A lot of

investment bankers have had a bonus attached to a deal and then

afterwards the deal could fall apart and cause enormous problems and they

still got the bonus. They would want to change it to make sure the deal

goes well. The banks are fighting it. Trying to reform it is basically

like taking candy from a baby. Once the baby has been given the Candy,

it is difficult to take it away. Do you have that in the political

commentator's world. I get no bonuses, sadly. The anti- bonus

campaigners will be seizing on this language. It is a gift. Thank you

very much for both of you". -- your inputs. Coming up, it is Sportsday.
