22/01/2016 The Papers

Serena Williams in the fourth round. That is all coming up in 15 minutes,

after the papers... Hello and welcome to our look

at the morning's papers. With me are Martin Bentham,

Home Affairs Editor of the London Evening Standard,

and Lindsay Watling, Westminster Correspondent

at the Press and Journal. The Daily Express points

to the French Prime Minister's warning that the migrant crisis

threatens the very existence The Independent claims that a US

healthcare giant is making a fortune from the NHS but hardly paying

any corporation tax. The FT says Google has reached

a deal with the Treasury to pay The i reports that a mother

who wrote to David Cameron about the bedroom tax

took her own life. "New drug to wipe out superbugs"

is the headline in the Times. The paper says British

scientists have spearheaded The Daily Mail claims the Queen has

shown "extraordinary" support for Lord Brammall, who was falsely

accused of child abuse. The Telegraph lead is that more

than 100 MPs want to end BT's monopoly of the broadband cable

network because over five million And finally, The Mirror reports that

new British trains will be built in Spain as part of a ?490 million

deal in what it says We can start with the express and

the impact the migrant crisis and what has happened to the Schengen

area will have on the European Union, the crisis will kill off the

EU, is the headline with even the French prime ministers saying the EU

is on the brink of disaster. It does depend on who you speak to, this? It

does but these are very strong words from the French Prime Minister. He

said that Europe could die, he has put this point in no uncertain

terms, very strongly and over the course of the day there has been a

growing urgency with the news just now about further people drowning

today, so I think there is a growing sense of urgency ahead of the summer

when we might be flooded with even more people trying to come in with

the prospect of many more disasters. It does depend on whether we think

the EU is just more than the Schengen area and people crossing

within the EU? When you see that headline, it is wishful thinking

from the express! Is clear the very serious point behind that and made

by the French Prime Minister but you are right to think that free

movement is intrinsic in terms of the ability to work in different

European countries, something David Cameron wants to potentially

restrict, he does not write night but also to move without passport

and I think it is quite possible there will be a change and some

parts of Europe you will not be able to go to without showing your

passport and that has already happened with French and German

temporary passport checks. It does not mean the whole of the EU project

dies but it will be fundamentally different to what it is right now.

Let us look at the Daily Mirror. The betrayal and the national distress.

The government betraying the British Steel industry and the British rail

industry I allowing contractors to go for the new Northern Rail trains,

they are bone rattling things, these nutrients are well needed but the

argument is that instead of going to the factory in Derby, supporting

British jobs, they are going to a Spanish builder who will build the

trains in Spain and it follows the earlier Thameslink contract, those

trains also given to the German firm Siemens and they are also abroad.

The argument is a has-been at egg each rail. Not enough support for

the key British industries, for the steel and the trains. What do you

replace them with? In these places? They are so reliant on certain

plants? Inside there is quite a moving case study about three

generations of the same family employed in the steel industry and

the suggest it does not look like Bobby any job for Thomas, aged

seven. Pretty desperate for some people and this comes at a time when

the government is promoting the Great British brand, we promote

Great Britain to great fanfare around the world and yet these

contracts are going abroad. These figures do not necessarily tally up.

Millions with dire internets. A coalition of MPs coming forward to

try to improve this situation? This is a particularly big issue in parts

of the country like the north-east of Scotland and in parts of this

area Telegraph says in the headline.

Older people not having internet and people in remote areas. They suggest

that this coalition of MPs suggest that more

not connected, how can you do that? The worst affected are people in the

do not get a decent service at all and older people who do not use the

internet much so that is a group of people excluded but even in London,

the internet services are not as good as they should be and

businesses complain that we have not got the speed of service that we

need to have two compete properly in a world market and this report says,

I am not sure who has done this research, published by Grant Shapps,

and there are a lot of people wanting to get the contract taken

away from and so on mean it is economically

and so on mean it is economically important, not just from a direct

consumer point of view. No one will come to your business in Britain if

they cannot connect. The bedroom tax torment of the woman who took her

life. A woman who wrote to the Prime Minister struggling after the spare

room subsidy was introduced. It is a horrible story, a terrible tragedy

that this woman, her son took his own life and she has been upset

about that and the spare room subsidy, she has written to the

Prime Minister and a taken her own life. It is difficult to attribute a

particular cause to something, I would be careful about doing that

but the coroner said it was not clear if she intended to take life

or maybe she was trying to gain leverage over the council with a

staged arrangement. And possibly trying to send a message. Either

way, it is clearly a pretty terrible situation. An awful thing to have

happened. You cannot read the story and not be moved by the predicament

of this lady and MPs in the Commons, Labour MPs repeatedly raised stories

like this but this is particularly sad. It is sometimes difficult to

use these as a weapon against a particular policy because who knows

what was going on? Stories in The Times, new drug to wipe out

superbugs. An antibiotic bullet created from breastmilk. When I

first read that it sounded like they were developing not just another

antibiotic but something entirely different? This is supposed to be a

superbug killing antibiotic but the thing that struck me in this piece

is the words from Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer, she said

that Britain has not planned for a world without antibiotics, which is

quite frightening. We are planning to sort this. That stood out for me.

This is quite an important story because it is feared we will run out

of effective antibiotics because they are being overused by people

and not being taken fully and being used in animals and these different

problems have been articulated quite this differently in recent months by

medical professionals and this suggests there is something here

developed and one of the great strengths of this country, we talk

about the weaknesses but one of the strengths is the pharmaceutical

industry and the ability to generate new research and products which

actually are absolutely pioneering and ground-breaking and this is

clearly at the early stage but if it was the case that we had found some

new antibiotic that can help to counter this problem that will

otherwise cause people to die from simple things. You would not expect

that these days. Serious problem and it will be very good. If this is

realised and we can produce more. But will not be the only think you

will want to produce, you will want to keep producing more and more of

these antibiotics to keep on top of this. This picture story, Charlotte

Rampling. She has upset some people in the USA over this discussion of

how diverse the Oscar nominations are this year? She has suggested

that black actors were overlooked for nominations because they were

not good enough so she has caused quite a list of all of this, saying

that to boycott the Academy Awards would be racist to white people.

Martin has some strong views? Shard grabbing has gone from being the

heroine of the British screen to persona non grata in the eyes of

some people and she might not have phrased this in the best way and

what she has tried to say is we should not be classifying people and

everybody should be seen just as a person and not be certain labels and

if you try to say that we should always have an award in which

everybody is represented according to the category of person, man or

woman, black or white, that is not necessarily a good thing. She was

trying to say that but it has not come out in the way she wanted to.

And when people talk about something that is sensitive, they do quite

often get absolutely denounced for anything they say which does not

seem to be fighting with us isolate the correct narrative and I do not

think she is saying... The argument about the Oscars is it should not be

the case that people, black actors are being overlooked because the

judges somehow do not recognise black actors... Apparently it is not

diverse? Not looking at black actors unless, somehow not seeing their

talent because they are black and that is the argument and she is not

saying that is the case, that we should have the best people picked

and sometimes they might not be of a particular ethnicity or whatever.

That is what she is trying to say, maybe not in the easiest way. Not

easy to navigate. The daily record, newspaper of the year, 45,000 --

?45,000 hangover, people on a bender? This peril of Daft Scots,

they have been dubbed as sozzled on the front page, and this is slightly

embarrassing for me as a half Scot, but they have been on a massive

bender and they bought 500 kilos of fish in the process! As you do! Or

that fish! This is the story of the day! 500 kilos of fish, the fish

include Dover sole, halibut, lobster, king scallops, all of this

stuff, you think, what on earth were you thinking? At least there are

window fried Mars Bars. It was a credit card scam? Yes, it was

criminal, ripped off credit cards. Not to be sympathised with. Not at

all, laughed at. I hope the victims got their money back. That is it,

Lindsay has survived and we will be back later. Coming up next, at 11

o'clock, Google paying tax back to the UK Treasury after years of not

paying enough. Coming up next, Sportsday...
