:00:20. > :00:32.Welcome to our look ahead to the morning's papers. The front pages,

:00:33. > :00:36.starting with the express. It leads with Britain's future in the EU,

:00:37. > :00:44.saying there is growing support for Britain to leave. The Telegraph, the

:00:45. > :00:47.main headline, GP waiting lists. It says 10 million patients struggle to

:00:48. > :00:53.get appointments and record numbers wait over a week. The times, the

:00:54. > :00:58.plans of David Cameron to integrate Muslim woman into mainstream society

:00:59. > :01:01.including English classes for migrants. The Guardian, plans by the

:01:02. > :01:06.NHS to watch a sugar attacks on British hospitals. The Daily Mail,

:01:07. > :01:10.mounting pressure on Scotland Yard to apologise to award at Bramall

:01:11. > :01:18.after child abuse allegations were dropped. -- to Lord Bramall. We

:01:19. > :01:21.start with an interesting front page on the Sun about Jeremy Corbyn's

:01:22. > :01:31.idea for the Trident submarine fleet. There fears, trapped a

:01:32. > :01:37.missile. It has a hat on.

:01:38. > :01:42.It is not a very good pun. Not one of their best.

:01:43. > :01:47.They have not got a lot to work with. We can tell what they think of

:01:48. > :01:52.it. We can, but it is wilfully

:01:53. > :01:58.misunderstanding. The subject of Trident is up for review, many

:01:59. > :02:03.options are being considered, we don't know what all of them, but one

:02:04. > :02:09.of them is to to avert potential job losses from scrapping Trident. That

:02:10. > :02:14.has come up, whereby you would retain the capability that you would

:02:15. > :02:19.not actually have the warheads. The capacity to fire them, but not the

:02:20. > :02:24.actual warheads. Which is not as daft as it sounds, as long as you

:02:25. > :02:29.are still within Nato. It depends what kind of nuclear deterrent you

:02:30. > :02:33.want. I thought he was a principled

:02:34. > :02:37.unilateralist who wanted nothing to do with nuclear weapons because they

:02:38. > :02:45.are a moral abomination. To say that in an -- the event of a war we are

:02:46. > :02:50.here to fire them if you need is two, that is not unilateralism. And

:02:51. > :03:01.it's a nonsense of the point of having Trident. Trident has a ship

:03:02. > :03:04.permanently and patrolling so that within minutes it can act in a

:03:05. > :03:09.crisis. But if you don't have bombs on the submarine cannot act within

:03:10. > :03:13.minutes. So the idea of an immediate response from Britain within Nato is

:03:14. > :03:17.undermined, so it does not serve anyone.

:03:18. > :03:22.It is wilfully misunderstanding the conversation, not you, I hasten to

:03:23. > :03:26.add... I am sympathetic to him try to find

:03:27. > :03:30.a way through this. It is almost as if, you would have

:03:31. > :03:34.to be not to get rid of Trident. Yet all defence officials have in saying

:03:35. > :03:43.that Trident is not an effective deterrent -- you would have to be

:03:44. > :03:48.nuts. It is not a deterrent to the risks we face such as terrorism, it

:03:49. > :03:54.is an obsolete counter to that. So let's try to find alternatives.

:03:55. > :03:56.Because claiming that Trident is an effective deterrent is a redundant

:03:57. > :04:01.conversation. The Telegraph asks whether it would

:04:02. > :04:10.be any kind of deterrent at all. It probably wouldn't. He is trying

:04:11. > :04:13.to deter the Blairites from revolting against him. I like the

:04:14. > :04:18.fact he is a man of principle. I don't share them but it is good to

:04:19. > :04:22.have somebody who has got some. What a pity, having won the massive

:04:23. > :04:25.mandate he cannot say, I don't believe we should have nuclear

:04:26. > :04:29.weapons, they did not help us out in the Falklands, the Gulf War, Iraq,

:04:30. > :04:34.they are no longer needed, the Cold War is over, my promises to get rid

:04:35. > :04:39.of them. There are trade unions worried about jobs. MPs who

:04:40. > :04:42.represent the yards that house Trident. Of course they don't want

:04:43. > :04:48.to get rid of them. So why not to say, you know what, I'm taking a

:04:49. > :04:57.bold stance, that is rid of the nukes -- to get rid of.

:04:58. > :05:01.The times, Cameron tells Muslims women must integrate, is this a good

:05:02. > :05:05.thing, or interference where it is not needed?

:05:06. > :05:10.It is hard to tell, I have not seen the editorial. I am in two minds

:05:11. > :05:14.about this. On the one hand many people are concerned that there are

:05:15. > :05:18.people in the country who have not integrated into western

:05:19. > :05:23.understandings of women's rights. And the idea that because society is

:05:24. > :05:25.too worried about saying something politically incorrect that it will

:05:26. > :05:31.not challenge things which go against not just Western tradition

:05:32. > :05:34.but also our laws, when it comes to things like female genital

:05:35. > :05:38.mutilation. It is right that the government should say to new

:05:39. > :05:43.immigrants, there is a list of standards of behaviour we expect. On

:05:44. > :05:46.the other hand, having said that, a defining principle of being British

:05:47. > :05:50.is that you are left alone unless you break the law. And when Cameron

:05:51. > :05:58.says he wants to overturn what he says is passive tolerance, I think

:05:59. > :06:01.he is overturning a cornerstone of the relationship between the British

:06:02. > :06:04.individual and the state, which is that you are left alone unless you

:06:05. > :06:08.break the law. I find it hard to stomach, coming

:06:09. > :06:17.from Cameron, specifically targeting Muslim woman. He is simultaneously

:06:18. > :06:22.closing woman's refuge centres. For female victims of domestic abuse. So

:06:23. > :06:27.you suddenly care about women now? Muslim women? I think you would

:06:28. > :06:29.probably find that most people who migrate to the UK wants to learning

:06:30. > :06:34.good. But a lot of them haven't. This

:06:35. > :06:37.would surely at least give a woman the option of knowing what was out

:06:38. > :06:42.there, what opportunities exist for them...

:06:43. > :06:47.But those opportunities are not out there from him, that is the point,

:06:48. > :06:49.he has not provided opportunities, schools for learning

:06:50. > :06:53.foreign-language is quite the opposite, those services are being

:06:54. > :06:57.cut along with everything else. If you provided that access you could

:06:58. > :07:00.then say, are you aware of this resource? They cannot cut it and

:07:01. > :07:05.then say they should be getting access to it at the same time.

:07:06. > :07:09.The Telegraph, millions waiting longer to see a GP. I feel I have

:07:10. > :07:13.been reading these headlines for a long time. Is it getting worse or

:07:14. > :07:16.staying the same? I don't know if it is getting worse

:07:17. > :07:20.but more than 10 million patients are struggling to gain appointment.

:07:21. > :07:26.Again I think this is related to cuts. If you cut social services you

:07:27. > :07:32.but an additional burden on the NHS which would not otherwise be there.

:07:33. > :07:39.And as you say this is a continuous story about the NHS struggling in

:07:40. > :07:44.the face of an onslaught and being squeezed by cuts to cope with an

:07:45. > :07:51.expanding demand. But I think this story is slanted in a way to suggest

:07:52. > :07:55.that people want surgery to be open out of hours on the weekends. And,

:07:56. > :08:01.you know, therefore that should be made possible. I don't think it is

:08:02. > :08:07.slanted. From reading it. That is where it is going.

:08:08. > :08:11.But if it is slanted I would not have a problem with that, because it

:08:12. > :08:16.highlights an unacceptable rise of people waiting a couple of weeks.

:08:17. > :08:19.And picks up on the fact that receptionists can be rude. There are

:08:20. > :08:24.issues of funding and there are issues of management.

:08:25. > :08:30.And issues of manners. Manners as well. There are some

:08:31. > :08:35.reports showing that do not match what people expect from the NHS.

:08:36. > :08:38.This is partly due to very generous contracts that Labour negotiated.

:08:39. > :08:41.Partly due to the fact that there aren't staff at weekends, which is

:08:42. > :08:45.what the government is trying to work with right now, either way,

:08:46. > :08:49.funding, yes, but I think this points to questions about how people

:08:50. > :08:52.manage their surgeries. Should we not change the

:08:53. > :08:58.expectations of doctors? That it won't be 9-to-5? GPs, I mean.

:08:59. > :09:01.Because of course, in hospitals, many doctors claim they work

:09:02. > :09:04.round-the-clock. I don't get this suggestion that GPs

:09:05. > :09:13.are saying they don't seem to need to work extra hours. But then used

:09:14. > :09:16.to be more funding. If they are overstretched they will start making

:09:17. > :09:22.mistakes, which no body wants. The express, the headline, Britain

:09:23. > :09:25.is ready to quit the EU. Huge boost for the leave campaign. Whereas this

:09:26. > :09:31.boost come from? A new opinion poll giving a

:09:32. > :09:40.cessation of 6-point lead to the exit. I am thrilled by that. Why?

:09:41. > :09:45.Because I want to leave the EU. I have my cards on the table. If you

:09:46. > :09:49.read on page five, the express makes a link between the desire of people

:09:50. > :09:52.to leave and they sort of foreign policy crisis taking place in

:09:53. > :09:57.Europe. Refugee crisis, the terrorist attacks. That is

:09:58. > :10:01.interesting because pro Europeans could argue that being a member of

:10:02. > :10:04.the EU actually helps when it comes to security, but they could also

:10:05. > :10:07.argue that because we are not members of the Schengen zone we are

:10:08. > :10:12.outside of the issue of how one deals with refugees. Britain is

:10:13. > :10:16.already cauterised from that. It is frustrating for somebody who wants

:10:17. > :10:20.to see the EU debated on the basis of economics because I think there

:10:21. > :10:25.is a business case for leaving. But also on the basis of sovereignty. It

:10:26. > :10:27.is frustrating, I fear this referendum will be all about

:10:28. > :10:33.immigration and terrorism. It really should not be.

:10:34. > :10:38.That is the way that the far right has presented it, to be fair.

:10:39. > :10:42.I don't think it is the far right doing it.

:10:43. > :10:47.We can argue about the definition but people are reacting to austerity

:10:48. > :10:54.and the threat of terror and a perceived threat of migrant drains

:10:55. > :10:58.on jobs and resources, which actually is a fair and of fear, a

:10:59. > :11:03.time of austerity, has a few worried about your job, you will be worried

:11:04. > :11:07.about somebody taking it. But they are not the target, migrants are not

:11:08. > :11:11.the target. I would personally rather we stayed in Europe but made

:11:12. > :11:15.it more democratic and accountable. And progressive. Because I do think

:11:16. > :11:19.freedom of movement is important. And I think the baseline of work

:11:20. > :11:26.-labour arrangements we have aren't And I think the baseline of work

:11:27. > :11:28.-labour arrangements we have -- are great, and if we didn't have them,

:11:29. > :11:35.this government would very quickly take them away.

:11:36. > :11:42.The NHS to introduce a sugar tax. Internally. Not dependent on the

:11:43. > :11:45.Treasury. How will they do it? Sorry, really rude, but I just want

:11:46. > :11:48.to throw in, because I'm so staggered by this, it is the

:11:49. > :11:52.weirdest front page I have ever seen.

:11:53. > :11:57.Tell us why in a moment. Rachel, tell us what they are planning.

:11:58. > :12:01.It will be internal, only operational in hospitals, which I

:12:02. > :12:04.worry will only affect visitors like us who come in and want a sugary

:12:05. > :12:08.snack. So they will make a sugary snacks in

:12:09. > :12:12.the cafe too expensive to bother with?

:12:13. > :12:18.Yes, yes. But I think it is more of a statement, you know, this is what

:12:19. > :12:22.the government should be doing. A potential advisory thing. I don't

:12:23. > :12:38.know how impactful discount to be. Why is it a weird front page?

:12:39. > :12:42.The colour. I am not being odd! But it looks like clip art. It is a

:12:43. > :12:45.weird nonstory about the NHS charging you a bit more for

:12:46. > :12:51.something in the cafe. Is it not about obesity, all of us

:12:52. > :12:55.eating too much sugar... ? Well that is nice but I don't

:12:56. > :12:58.suppose the idea of a tax for sugar echoes in terms of intake the

:12:59. > :13:03.British consume far less sugar than they have done since the 1970s. The

:13:04. > :13:08.intake is way down. The reason we are fat and abuses because we do not

:13:09. > :13:13.exercise. We are not moving. This will simple punish poorer people, it

:13:14. > :13:19.is a kind of VAT, a cost added onto your Coca-Cola. What we really

:13:20. > :13:24.should be doing to people, the NHS, saying to people, get out, stop

:13:25. > :13:29.driving around, sitting at your desk all day, exercise.

:13:30. > :13:37.We actually agree! On a lot of things!

:13:38. > :13:39.I don't know about a lot of things! We got through it. Still to come,

:13:40. > :13:54.President Obama hails the deal with
