10/02/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are Matt McAllester, editor in chief at Newsweek magazine and

John Kampfner, Chief Executive of the Creative Industries Federation.

The Daily Mail leads on the pressure facing the Met Police over the

After today's industrial action the i front page claims

the NHS is planning to "break striking doctors".

Multi-buy deals may be banned, is the Telegraph's headline.

The paper says so-called 'misleading' supermarket offers

could be scrapped by regulators within weeks.

The FT reports on the head of the Federal Reserve telling Congress

that persistent global market turbulence could set back US growth.

And the Mirror says tumble dryer firms face being sued

for millions of pounds over a spate of fires linked to faulty machines.

A real mix of stories. The NHS strike dominates a lot of the

papers, including the i. I suppose the latest development is kind of

expected, that there is now a rumour that the government will force

through the contracts. We were talking about this a few moments

ago. It is one of those stories were the two sides can't even agree on

the narratives. They can't agree on who is saying what and who is

offering what. If it is straightforwardly that there can be

a core salary in return for us eliminating the bonus you get

working unsociable hours, but the overall package is the same, at

least you have an idea of what they are talking about. I am increasingly

of the view that when you look at people working here in shops, so

many people do fleck Cialis, and the idea that that is somehow an affront

to your liberty I'd struggle to understand. -- flex hours. I look at

the reports of the 26,000 eligible junior doctors who would normally do

a typical shift signed up for duty today. I think that is what has

emboldened the government to at least threaten to push this through.

43% on the second such strike suggests that that number is going

to increase. If the deal falls through, the contract, we are on

untrodden ground. Some doctors are threatening resignation if this

happens, and it will be a victory legally and on paper for the

government, but it won't be a political victory. They don't want

to do this, it will be a lose lose situation. The two sides have forced

themselves down this final and nobody is happy about it. The

Guardian has lots of different lines coming from Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe,

who has been talking about reviews into historical sex abuse

allegations. The headline in the Guardian is that the Met signals a

shift in attitude to rate victims, and how claims are to be

investigated -- rape. This is the Met Commissioner writing a piece

talking about how the assumptions of the last few years, which arose from

the lamentable under reaction or non- reaction to decades of Jimmy

Savile outrages then led to an assumption that victims should

always be believed, just a categorical victim is believed, and

therefore anything of it says must necessarily be properly

investigated. Which then led to Leon Brittan allegations, and Lord

Bramall and others besides. He is now saying, Bernard Hogan-Howe is

now saying that we may be need to look at that again, and we look

sympathetically at a victim as a victim coming forward particularly

on historical allegations, but you don't necessarily assume that what

they are saying is correct. It is not just police, it is teachers,

friends, parents, they are always told that a victim feels they are

believed so they can come forward. I think after this we will be hearing

from victims' writes groups who will be extremely worried -- rights. I

think they will be feeling sold out. The headlines on the Mail and

the Sun are much less sympathetic. If the story in the Daily Mail is

correct, saying that former chief of defence officer was having breakfast

with his dying wife when police came into his home and searched all the

rooms. It is very graphic. It ends with no charges being levelled, and

these ongoing investigations, and in a few of those papers pretty gung-ho

investigations, these are the same papers complaining following on from

not just Jimmy Savile, but others. Either historically, or the whole

Lord Jana situation, or others who have been sent to prison. He feel

sorry for the police because they are damned if they do and damned if

they don't. Paul Lamb -- one person who had allegations levelled against

him, he has said that it has ruined their lives. I think the people who

have suffered because they haven't been believed when they are genuine

victims. That pain far outweighs what has happened to those who were

wrongly accused. That is not to travel on their lives, but for

decades and decades these people had not been able to come forward. Until

they are charged should they be named? Police deny that they have

been tipping off the media, but it comes from somewhere. The tactics

are reported is to encourage other people to come forward by leaking

the name early. It sounds like we need a review, and we might get one.

Staying with the Guardian, an interesting picture of people rather

than politicians. This is in America's political shift. This is

the extraordinary rise of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in the New

Hampshire primary, and Hillary Clinton was swept aside by 22

percentage points. It is a huge gap. There is a lot of noise about

whether it is the beginning of the end for her when the presidency, let

alone the nomination, seemed within her grasp a few days ago. New

Hampshire and Iowa have a history of throwing up candidates like Pat

Buchanan a few years ago, he did superbly well. And Bernie Sanders

really threw everything into New Hampshire. He is heading to South

Carolina, where 50% of the Democratic primary voters are

African-American. Hillary Clinton historically does very well in the

African-American community. It is the beginning of a very long and

compensated story. It is a great story because we are seeing

antiestablishment, which we don't always see -- complicated. These are

new and unexpected faces for someone like this. In America, here in the

UK with Jeremy Corbyn, what is interesting in America is that it is

on the left and the right. I never thought New Hampshire was a

particular redneck all radical state, I always thought the New

England states were a bit more cerebral, but look at how well

Donald Trump has done! , licence plate in New Hampshire, it says live

free or die, so there is a history of libertarianism and individualism.

Whoever gets to the White House, the front page of the Financial Times.

This is about the economy and keeping America going. Bank shares

are tanking at the moment, stock markets are spiralling downwards.

Janet Yellen was thinking last year that there would be a rate rise, the

first in lots of years, 0.25%, but she announced then that this was

going to be part of a gradual series of rate rises through 2016 and

2017, and today already a whole series of indicators over the last

several weeks since New Year showing that the American economy, the

Chinese economy, and famously European economies, are not growing

anywhere near as fast as was predicted, and the idea of having to

raise rates in order to slow things down is looking to be a bit of a

mistake. Didn't be an announcement today in effect some of the trading

as well, which shows why we should care about this? It shows why we

should, and the interconnectedness of the global economy. The centre of

this story is China, and China's economy is what this impacting

everything from the London housing market to short-term interest

rates. The Daily Telegraph, one of its lead stories is that multi- buy

deals may be banned. This is the only part of grocery shopping I like

Mawhinney fear you are getting a bargain. These consumer stories sell

well on newsstands. I am a sucker for this kind of them. -- thing. Buy

one get one free, and you end up buying things just as the groups are

quoted here as saying, you end up buying stuff you don't want and end

up throwing some of it away. It is completely... Whenever it says 25%

or 40% off, you don't know from what. Their rights on special offers

where they are marked down, you can actually see the price. Is it the

2-for-1 that they describe as misleading? Do you know that that

price ever existed? It makes me happy thinking it did. The average

person takes 0.4 seconds to decide what to buy, and there is a simple

queue to this called the shopping list. If you go into the supermarket

with a shopping list and stick to it and don't look to the left and the

right then you will be fine. That is my top tip. Don't shop hungry, you

always end up buying what you want it, not what you need. Let's look at

the back page, which we don't usually do, the sport. This is a

particularly momentous story. The Mirror. Give us the background to

this. This follows the walkout on the weekend by fans over ticket

hikes. The company that owns Liverpool announced new ticket

prices for next season. The prices went up to ?77, which would take it

out of the range of many fans. I have been a Chelsea fan for the last

20 years and you see how football has taken itself away from the core

supporters, certainly Premier League football is all about TV rights,

maximising, crazy wages for an international galaxy of stars, and

what some clubs have done is often to keep a certain section of the

ground at cheaper rates so the real fans can still go. The fury among

Liverpool fans at basically being fleeced on incredibly expensive,

more expensive than the most expensive theatre tickets, for a

game of football... In Liverpool, where earnings are not as high as

they are in London... It seems a complete PR own goal. David Cameron

in Prime Minister's Questions was hardly rallying to the defence of

the Liverpool owners, and was intimating that he thought it wasn't

a good idea. So they back down. In some ways it is not just victory for

Liverpool fans for foot will fans. It takes it back to what football

should be about. It is about the fans. This is going to be maybe the

first scalp. You talk about Chelsea, there are other expensive tickets.

If you go to the Emirates to watch Arsenal you will pay more than that.

We have to leave it there. Thank you for taking us through the papers.
