:00:00. > :00:00.games played in the current round of the FA Cup. And Wales and Scotland
:00:00. > :00:00.named their squads for the six Nations. All that coming up after
:00:00. > :00:23.burger-macro. -- after The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:24. > :00:30.at what The Papers will be bringing us. With me are Henry Bonsu and Lord
:00:31. > :00:35.Digby Jones. Letters have a look at the front pages. We will start with
:00:36. > :00:38.the financial Times which leads with the Governor of the Bank of
:00:39. > :00:45.England's decision not to raise interest rates. Mark Carney's
:00:46. > :00:53.comments also on the front of the daily express. A judge has ruled
:00:54. > :01:01.that 13-month-old Poppi Worthington was sexually assaulted by her father
:01:02. > :01:09.just before she died. That story is also on the front of the Metro. The
:01:10. > :01:14.Guardian leads with claims that doctors in the NHS are the most
:01:15. > :01:19.stressed in the NHS. The Daily Mail leads with pensioners could be
:01:20. > :01:28.suffering a cup to their pension pots. The Times carries a warning
:01:29. > :01:32.from a leading vet that throwing sticks for docs could be bad for
:01:33. > :01:41.their health. Let us start with the FT because there is a story about
:01:42. > :01:46.the refugee burden in Europe. I spent a lot of my summer in Hungary
:01:47. > :01:51.on the border with Slovenia and the problem those countries had was if
:01:52. > :01:54.refugees came into their country, it will be their first port of call and
:01:55. > :02:02.that is where they will be returned to. As these are thus Matt Brussels
:02:03. > :02:10.is saying it is going to scrap that. The reason this wall will be changed
:02:11. > :02:14.or scrapped is because it has put an unfair burden on those front line
:02:15. > :02:19.states, like Greece and Italy. The policy fell apart because Germany
:02:20. > :02:24.decided not to return the hundreds of thousands of refugees who passed
:02:25. > :02:28.through those countries and ended up in Germany. I think the reason they
:02:29. > :02:35.did that is because Chancellor Merkel said we have a right and
:02:36. > :02:41.responsibility to do what we can for these people. She did an about turn
:02:42. > :02:49.when the refugee burden became unsustainable. However, the refugees
:02:50. > :02:55.have two get here first. They don't get here, they end up on the
:02:56. > :03:01.European mainland. They might get to the jungle, but they have to get
:03:02. > :03:09.across the Channel. I don't think this will end up putting a greater
:03:10. > :03:14.refugee burden on the UK. You are right. It is not going to change a
:03:15. > :03:28.massive amount. One of the problems has always been returning refugees.
:03:29. > :03:34.There is a figure here, 13,000... You are right. No country is allowed
:03:35. > :03:37.to send them back to Greece. The European Court of European rights
:03:38. > :03:47.that that Greece cannot cope and therefore you are not provide people
:03:48. > :03:50.with a life. This is more about, I use the term wishful thinking, it's
:03:51. > :03:56.more about what people would like to happen than what is happening on the
:03:57. > :04:01.ground. It is interesting the FT have run this because you can
:04:02. > :04:05.imagine if those facts were played out in certain other newspapers, it
:04:06. > :04:10.would be all about because you belong to the EU, this is going to
:04:11. > :04:14.happen on the streets of Blackburn, which actually, is not what this is
:04:15. > :04:20.about. It is about whether a reality, which is very few get
:04:21. > :04:25.repatriated, becomes the law. They are doing it far more neutrally. If
:04:26. > :04:31.there is a referendum in June and the Prime Minister can't so that
:04:32. > :04:41.they need to be returned to the country of first -- and the Prime
:04:42. > :04:50.Minister says they need to be returned to the country of entry,
:04:51. > :05:00.that rule will be removed. I've never understood the jungle in
:05:01. > :05:11.Calais. It's not the point of entry. They are in an advanced economy, so
:05:12. > :05:16.why are they try to get out? Britain has presented itself as the cradle
:05:17. > :05:24.of modern human rights. People also feel it is an open society. So why
:05:25. > :05:33.doesn't the French police send them back? The French will not do what
:05:34. > :05:39.they have been told to do, again. The Guardian is reporting on BGP
:05:40. > :05:48.strike. The second strike has been adverted -- has been averted, but
:05:49. > :05:56.the strike on the 10th of February could go ahead. I am old enough to
:05:57. > :06:06.remember when teachers first went on strike in the 1970s and immediately
:06:07. > :06:11.teachers mood and -- teachers moved away from being professional and
:06:12. > :06:20.suddenly they became another worker on strike. A lot of respect in
:06:21. > :06:24.society that teachers lost was because of that word strike. I don't
:06:25. > :06:31.think so, it's because we started to boost the power of children. Are you
:06:32. > :06:35.saying the decision to drop this second strike is about PR rather
:06:36. > :06:39.than the fact they have made progress? Do think they are worried
:06:40. > :06:44.about the implications of the strike? Junior doctors are sensible
:06:45. > :06:50.people and are thinking about how this will play in the public. Strike
:06:51. > :06:56.action only wins if you have public sympathy and they are worried they
:06:57. > :06:58.will lose public sympathy. Especially the third strike, which
:06:59. > :07:14.is set for the River Thames and there will be no cover for emergency
:07:15. > :07:32.cover. -- which is set for the 10th of February.
:07:33. > :07:37.This goes alongside a story that talks about the stress that doctors
:07:38. > :07:41.are under and they have been saying today they want recognition today
:07:42. > :07:44.for the hours and weekends they already work.
:07:45. > :07:54.GPs, because of their pay settlement, don't get much sympathy
:07:55. > :07:59.from most newspapers. But here they have, "Thousands of GPs plan to
:08:00. > :08:02.quit." Wear hear that GPs are overburdened, overstressed. These
:08:03. > :08:08.figures say 30% plan to quit in the next five years. They spend very
:08:09. > :08:13.little time with their patients. Most practices say they should spend
:08:14. > :08:16.no more tan ten minutes -- than ten minutes. We see in newspapers that
:08:17. > :08:23.people get... Poor diagnosis early on. Very powerful and incurable
:08:24. > :08:27.cancers because GPs miss it. One of the reasons, not the only reasons.
:08:28. > :08:33.They aren't referred in time. This isn't about money. It's about
:08:34. > :08:40.quality of life. I don't expect the Guardian to put up a headline, "NHS
:08:41. > :08:44.needs serious reform", but that's what this is saying. Creating a
:08:45. > :08:48.situation where GPs could earn more money, which is what Blair did,
:08:49. > :08:53.nothing wrong with that, but interestingly, I was in the
:08:54. > :09:00.supermarket with Pat on Saturday. Mrs Digby. Yes, playing the trolley
:09:01. > :09:05.pusher. The two of us were talking about the doctors strike while we
:09:06. > :09:07.were waiting. The lady behind the checkout actually said, this is
:09:08. > :09:11.Saturday morning, I wish I had the luxury of choosing whether I work on
:09:12. > :09:14.Saturdays or not. I suddenly thought to myself, do you know something,
:09:15. > :09:19.that's where a lot of the public are on this. They're not saying they
:09:20. > :09:24.don't sympathise with the cause, but they're saying, society has changed.
:09:25. > :09:28.People work on Saturdays. And therefore, why aren't you doctors or
:09:29. > :09:32.GPs. Maybe this hasn't been explained properly. It needs reform.
:09:33. > :09:38.The moment you say reform you hear people going, you mean privatised.
:09:39. > :09:42.There are loads ways to reform the NHS without privatisation. Let's
:09:43. > :09:46.move along quickly. I'm rattling through them. The Daily Mail,
:09:47. > :09:52.pension blow for 1. 5 million people. Largely according to the
:09:53. > :09:55.Mail, middle class earners. The Chancellor would want to give the
:09:56. > :10:03.impression that he's going after rich people's pensions. This word
:10:04. > :10:08.here... Stealth, punish are two words you don't want to see. They
:10:09. > :10:12.talk about a raid on middle-aged savers, people whose pension pot
:10:13. > :10:16.amounts to about 1 million to 1. 5 million. You don't have to be very
:10:17. > :10:21.wealthy, to have earned a huge amount to get a pension pot of a pot
:10:22. > :10:26.of a million. -- ?1 million. If you save over 40 years. That's going to
:10:27. > :10:31.be taxed. It's not taxed on the way in. But it will be on the way out.
:10:32. > :10:39.If it's true, but it's for higher rate taxpayers. Not sure why the I
:10:40. > :10:46.have twisted it that way. The Treasury have seen pensions as a
:10:47. > :10:50.leakage of tax gaps for years. I have to call time on you. But we're
:10:51. > :10:55.back next hour to look more at the papers. Thank you to Henry and Lord
:10:56. > :11:01.Digby Jones. They're both back at 11. 30pm for another look at the
:11:02. > :11:09.stories. Before that, we have the sports. Stay with us.
