:00:00. > :00:14.Chris Froome and Andy Murray as well.
:00:15. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:17. > :00:28.With me are Kate McCann, senior political correspondent
:00:29. > :00:30.at the Telegraph, and James Lyons, the deputy political editor
:00:31. > :00:51.Rather contrasting stories, it must be said. The Guardian and the Times.
:00:52. > :00:55.The Guardian says that all sides in the doctors row are increasingly
:00:56. > :01:02.optimistic they can do a deal and finish this to dispute over new
:01:03. > :01:04.contracts and weekend working. However, the Times says the divide
:01:05. > :01:13.between doctors and the government has increased. Doctors say they will
:01:14. > :01:18.strike indefinitely after they refused to plead to cross a picket
:01:19. > :01:22.line. Rather contrasting things going on and all sorts of
:01:23. > :01:28.accusations, as usual. This is an issue that has been going on over
:01:29. > :01:30.many years, so it is not surprising that there will be very strong
:01:31. > :01:36.feelings about what should happen next and where we are in this
:01:37. > :01:40.conversation. What is interesting is that if you look at the article in
:01:41. > :01:45.the Times, there is a quote at the bottom saying that the prospect of
:01:46. > :01:48.further strikes was raised. Nobody wants to see this continue
:01:49. > :01:53.indefinitely, it says. That sounds like there is the possibility of a
:01:54. > :01:59.deal, so it depends on how you look at this situation. Both sides, there
:02:00. > :02:03.is a lot of rhetoric going on and lots of people saying we are right
:02:04. > :02:08.and they are wrong... There is a lot going on. But I think it is one of
:02:09. > :02:15.those things where it eventually there will have to be a deal. You
:02:16. > :02:19.say that, but it has taken an awful long time to get to this point. And
:02:20. > :02:23.now further strikes are being threatened, including a serious one
:02:24. > :02:28.in February. And a stoppage at the end of the month as well. The
:02:29. > :02:34.problem is that there is a lot of poor well and mistrust on both sides
:02:35. > :02:46.in this dispute. -- ill will. I was so surprised to see the Guardian
:02:47. > :02:54.earlier. The first major walkout in 40 years. There will have to be a
:02:55. > :02:59.deal at some point but there are accusations about NHS bosses trying
:03:00. > :03:05.to trick doctors into going back to work today with all sorts of scare
:03:06. > :03:10.e-mails. The Daily Mail can be relied upon to pursue its own line,
:03:11. > :03:16.I think. Striking dot is and a legacy of misery. -- striking
:03:17. > :03:20.doctors. What is the burden of this story? You have to remember that
:03:21. > :03:24.while we are talking about pay and people walking out and whether the
:03:25. > :03:31.will or won't be another strike, at the heart of this issue are patients
:03:32. > :03:34.who have had operations cancelled. Lots of people are talking about how
:03:35. > :03:39.they were only told by text message that some procedures had been
:03:40. > :03:42.cancelled. If you are waiting for a scan and you are worried about your
:03:43. > :03:46.health condition, that will be a major issue for years. While it is
:03:47. > :03:51.worth remembering that although 39% of doctors were at work today, there
:03:52. > :03:56.were a huge amount of doctors who were not. And whether you agree or
:03:57. > :04:02.disagree at what -- on what is going on, there are people who are being
:04:03. > :04:08.affected for it but they did keep emergency services going on. And
:04:09. > :04:14.this comes at the most precious point of the NHS. We are approaching
:04:15. > :04:21.the middle of the winter flu season. Absolutely. Another story. Going
:04:22. > :04:27.back to the Guardian. Most newspapers, most of the major ones
:04:28. > :04:36.anyway, have this story. Ices blamed for ten deaths in Istanbul suicide
:04:37. > :04:39.blast. -- ISIS. There have been a lot of bomb blasts in Turkey
:04:40. > :04:45.recently and a lot of people killed, but now it is tourists. It appears
:04:46. > :04:48.they were the target. This is an area where a lot of people go on
:04:49. > :04:52.sightseeing tours. This is an area where you could rely on there being
:04:53. > :04:59.many more tourists than people who would ordinarily live in Turkey. It
:05:00. > :05:03.is worth saying, however, that Turkey have already identified,
:05:04. > :05:05.apparently, that this was a suicide bomber from Syria and it is
:05:06. > :05:10.interesting that they were able to do that so quickly. It is worth
:05:11. > :05:13.asking questions about whether this person was on any kind of watch list
:05:14. > :05:18.or whether there was any intelligence about what was going
:05:19. > :05:21.on. We have said before that Turkey is struggling with the weight of the
:05:22. > :05:27.migrant crisis and it is in a difficult position, really. And they
:05:28. > :05:33.have spent a lot of time attacking the Kurds, the Turkish government to
:05:34. > :05:37.seeing its enemy as the Kurds, whereas the Kurds are among the
:05:38. > :05:43.people fighting ISIS. You also have to wonder what this might do for the
:05:44. > :05:47.tourism industry. We have seen similar effects in Tunisia and parts
:05:48. > :05:54.of Egypt. You have to wonder about the economic ramifications. Indeed.
:05:55. > :06:03.The Express. This story keeps coming back to haunt us after what happened
:06:04. > :06:11.around Christmas or New Year. Germans riot. This was a far right
:06:12. > :06:18.demonstration that very clearly got out of hand in
:06:19. > :06:25.being set on fire and hundreds of arrests. Cars
:06:26. > :06:33.Clearly tensions are running extremely high there after the
:06:34. > :06:38.influx of migrants. And Angela Merkel is under tremendous pressure.
:06:39. > :06:44.It looks like her hand is being forced in all sorts of directions.
:06:45. > :06:49.Making it easier to get rid of migrants caught doing bad things.
:06:50. > :06:55.They can now be deported more easily. It is difficult to see what
:06:56. > :06:58.she can do because I don't think this is about those attacks that
:06:59. > :07:03.happened around Christmas. I think this is a much broader issue. It
:07:04. > :07:05.must be said that this far right groups have never been particularly
:07:06. > :07:10.welcoming towards migrants who have come into the country anyway on any
:07:11. > :07:13.level, so there is an element of this which is using something which
:07:14. > :07:18.is really and truly awful and people should be arrested and prosecuted
:07:19. > :07:22.for, but as a way to say that refugees are not welcome at in
:07:23. > :07:24.Germany. Angela Merkel is in a difficult situation because there
:07:25. > :07:28.were a huge number of people who came into the country very quickly
:07:29. > :07:34.and there is an argument to say... Invited them in. Perhaps they were
:07:35. > :07:37.not prepared for the ramifications of that. But only 19 suspects have
:07:38. > :07:44.been identified so far and there have not been any arrests. There is
:07:45. > :07:48.obviously a long way to go before there is a feeling that the city is
:07:49. > :07:53.if again for people who are going out at night. -- city is safe
:07:54. > :08:00.again. The spectre of the far right rising up in Germany of all places
:08:01. > :08:03.is terrifying. It is. But, you know, it will be interesting to see
:08:04. > :08:08.what impact this may have on the negotiations that are happening on
:08:09. > :08:15.the EU level about Britain's Place and membership. Whether this makes
:08:16. > :08:19.Angela Merkel more sympathetic to British concerns about migration or
:08:20. > :08:23.whether she finds herself on the back foot and it is harder to get
:08:24. > :08:30.concessions. Another big issue on the horizon. Staying with the
:08:31. > :08:37.Express. They do like health stories, but this one seems like a
:08:38. > :08:41.good one. They do like a story about dementia, but this one looks like it
:08:42. > :08:46.could be promising. They have a professor from University College
:08:47. > :08:49.London and he says that by 2025, he hopes the dimension will be a
:08:50. > :08:53.manageable condition a bit like diabetes. It could be managed by
:08:54. > :08:59.lifestyle choices perhaps or medication. But this is interesting
:09:00. > :09:03.because increasing numbers of people in this country are being affected
:09:04. > :09:08.by dementia. It is a really awful disease because the decline can be
:09:09. > :09:12.rapid but it can also be incredibly slow and at the moment there is no
:09:13. > :09:17.real way of making people feel better about it. Any progress in
:09:18. > :09:24.this area is really welcome. I think that dementia is the next... Similar
:09:25. > :09:29.to cancer, there has been a lot of demand for a cure and focusing on it
:09:30. > :09:33.in research. I think that we will see more and more articles like
:09:34. > :09:37.this, hopefully, in the future. And it relates to what is happening in
:09:38. > :09:41.the NHS, generally, because with more and more dementia patients,
:09:42. > :09:46.there will be terrible pressures on the NHS in the years to come. The
:09:47. > :09:52.people suffering and the wider economy, if I could put it as
:09:53. > :09:56.bluntly as that... And there would be big savings if you could avoid it
:09:57. > :10:04.happening anyway. It would be good for all concerned. The Times.
:10:05. > :10:10.Pensioners freeze as energy companies chase profits. What is
:10:11. > :10:15.this all about? As you will have noticed, it is quite cold. It is
:10:16. > :10:22.certainly very cold in here. I don't know if you need 50p for the metre,
:10:23. > :10:27.but... Just put another jumper on. This is a study about the numbers of
:10:28. > :10:33.old people, almost 5 million, who will cut back on heating despite the
:10:34. > :10:37.really bad weather because they simply cannot afford liberals. This
:10:38. > :10:43.comes as the Energy Secretary is trying to get -- cannot afford to
:10:44. > :10:49.pay the bill. This comes as Energy Secretary is trying to get fuel
:10:50. > :10:54.companies to bring costs down. They all want that Ed Miliband's promise
:10:55. > :10:57.to freeze prices would have had the reverse effect before the election.
:10:58. > :11:01.She says that now that threat has gone away, they need to follow the
:11:02. > :11:05.market. Wholesale prices have come down and only one supplier has cut
:11:06. > :11:13.rules, and not I nearly as much as the wholesale price. -- one supplier
:11:14. > :11:17.has cut bills. One older person dies every seven minutes from the winter
:11:18. > :11:23.cold. Those sound like a desperate figures. Yes. And as James has
:11:24. > :11:28.pointed out, it is shocking that wholesale prices have fallen so much
:11:29. > :11:35.and yet companies, big energy companies, have not reduced their
:11:36. > :11:43.bills. There is also a mine in this article from a report by MPs, which
:11:44. > :11:52.will be released tomorrow. -- a line. People have been overpaying
:11:53. > :11:56.Waterville 's. The industry regulator over estimated costs for
:11:57. > :12:00.suppliers and so we all paid more than we should have a water. And now
:12:01. > :12:04.they cannot get that money back and consumers will not get a refund. The
:12:05. > :12:10.energy regulator has been under fire over several years for people who
:12:11. > :12:17.are saying they have not done enough to bring down energy prices. The
:12:18. > :12:23.Daily Telegraph. Oxford will not rewrite history, says Chancellor. Is
:12:24. > :12:33.all about that stature of Cecil Rhodes. -- it is all about that
:12:34. > :12:43.statue. This has been going on for a number of years. Demand for its
:12:44. > :12:51.statues of Rhodes to be brought down. But it goes to a bigger point
:12:52. > :12:56.about what university should be about and how tolerant universities
:12:57. > :12:59.should be and who should be allowed to speak at universities. There has
:13:00. > :13:03.been an issue around this conversation about people who have
:13:04. > :13:05.extreme views on any spectrum, whether they should be allowed to
:13:06. > :13:11.speak at universities or whether they should be barred or given no
:13:12. > :13:15.platform, as it is called. This debate about whether universities
:13:16. > :13:20.should remain a place where free debate should happen, even if you
:13:21. > :13:24.don't really like the viewpoint. Yes. The pro- free-speech groups
:13:25. > :13:31.popping up on campuses around the country. Lord Patten says education
:13:32. > :13:35.is not indoctrination. History is not a blank page on which we can
:13:36. > :13:38.write our own version of what should have been. Perhaps we should
:13:39. > :13:44.remember the wrongs that have been committed. Let us finish with
:13:45. > :13:53.looking back to the news that was dominating everything yesterday.
:13:54. > :14:05.David Bowie, dying at the age of 69. The Sun has a nice line. -- the
:14:06. > :14:11.Daily Star. This is about two Memorial concerts, which have been
:14:12. > :14:14.announced. We don't know if there will be a big funeral for David
:14:15. > :14:23.Bowie yet but this is a concert... Mick Jagger will be there, Paul
:14:24. > :14:28.McCartney, Elton John and a galaxy of stars. The front pages David
:14:29. > :14:33.Bowie's final photo shoot and I have to say that he looks remarkably
:14:34. > :14:36.happy and pleased with his lot there. That is one of the things
:14:37. > :14:40.that came out of the coverage yesterday, what kind of a man who
:14:41. > :14:45.was. He did not make a lot of the fact that he knew that he had a
:14:46. > :14:49.terminal illness. He kept it very quiet and was working right until
:14:50. > :14:54.the end. That concert, where and when? New York, March 31. We have
:14:55. > :15:01.Thank you to our guests. time to book the tickets. It will
:15:02. > :15:06.Coming up next, it's time for Sportsday.
