:00:16. > :00:18.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:19. > :00:22.With me are the political editor of the Sunday Express,
:00:23. > :00:27.and Tim Shipman, the political editor of the Sunday Times.
:00:28. > :00:34.Two political editors for the price of one. Ben Chifley being with us.
:00:35. > :00:36.-- thank you for being with us. Let's take a look at what the
:00:37. > :00:42.papers are saying in the morning. The Observer reports that US
:00:43. > :00:44.presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton shares Barack Obama's opposition to
:00:45. > :00:46.the UK leaving the EU. The Mail leads on Boris
:00:47. > :00:49.Johnson's anger at Mr Obama's intervention
:00:50. > :00:51.in the referendum campaign. The Sunday
:00:52. > :00:53.Telegraph says pregnant women are among those whose hospital treatment
:00:54. > :00:55.has been postponed ahead of the first all-out strike
:00:56. > :00:59.by junior doctors. The Sunday Times
:01:00. > :01:02.reports that this year the super-rich have suffered
:01:03. > :01:04.the worst decline in their fortunes The Independent carries a photo
:01:05. > :01:10.of one of the many events to mark the 400th
:01:11. > :01:15.anniversary of Shakespeare's death. Its main story is
:01:16. > :01:17.about a hospital in Lancashire The Sunday Express says that cold
:01:18. > :01:25.calling firms could face fines And the Sunday Mirror has
:01:26. > :01:30.a photograph of what it says are the ashes
:01:31. > :01:50.of the singer Prince being carried Let's crack on. The Mail on Sunday
:01:51. > :01:57.with a pretty striking headline, Boris rage at ridiculous weird
:01:58. > :02:02.Obama. It should make you think he had been desperate rude about the
:02:03. > :02:07.President and it is a personal attack on him, but it is more about
:02:08. > :02:11.what you said. He said it was a ridiculous and rude statement he
:02:12. > :02:15.said about our trade deal and go into the back of the queue. If you
:02:16. > :02:20.read inside, you get the quote which explains it better. He says no one
:02:21. > :02:24.in the last 48 hours has come close to answering my point. It is very
:02:25. > :02:28.weird that the US should tell the UK to do something they would not dream
:02:29. > :02:35.of doing themselves in a million years. So it is not Obama that is
:02:36. > :02:40.weird, but what he said. And this is another more angry intervention from
:02:41. > :02:46.Boris Johnson after a week which has been dominated by the President's
:02:47. > :02:51.visit and his statement over Brexit. Leaving aside the arguments, who has
:02:52. > :02:57.come out better, Boris or Obamacares I think Boris is lying on
:02:58. > :03:12.his back in the gutter shouting in the hope that Oscar Wilde is looking
:03:13. > :03:17.at the stars. -- or Obama? None of them have really got him out of that
:03:18. > :03:21.horizontal position. And not in the Brexit campaign think he may have
:03:22. > :03:31.overreached -- a lot. Good old Boris. He will keep bashing away. I
:03:32. > :03:38.think both sides of the argument think it is bad, with the Treasury
:03:39. > :03:42.putting out a document saying it will cost millions of pounds. It was
:03:43. > :03:46.discredited by a lot of people. Even people in the Brexit camp think that
:03:47. > :03:51.is cut through to the public in some way, and now the president of the
:03:52. > :03:55.United States is saying one of your key arguments on trade is nonsense.
:03:56. > :04:01.That has done a fair bit of damage. Is part of the problem that actually
:04:02. > :04:07.this is not about money, it is about a sense of identity, sovereignty,
:04:08. > :04:14.issues that don't necessarily boiled down to shillings and pence. It is
:04:15. > :04:23.not about facts, and for them at least, that side of the argument is
:04:24. > :04:31.hard. I think it is difficult, this situation is, because we're offered
:04:32. > :04:36.interviews all the time, when you get down to the nitty-gritty, they
:04:37. > :04:42.are passionate about what they are saying and this is going to mean
:04:43. > :04:48.this... Some of them. Yes, some of them. This is what it will mean if
:04:49. > :04:52.we stay in or stay out, but the truth gets lost. You can read the
:04:53. > :04:56.Treasury report about how much it will cost to leave. You can listen
:04:57. > :05:01.to argument about how much it will cost to stay. But nobody really
:05:02. > :05:03.knows about the economy, which is why this intervention is so
:05:04. > :05:08.significant because President Obama saying claims have been made that it
:05:09. > :05:15.will be fine and dandy and we can have this trade deal with America
:05:16. > :05:19.fairly quickly, and he has said no, you will go to the back of the
:05:20. > :05:23.queue. We have heard people say he is a lame duck resident out of
:05:24. > :05:32.office in January and he can't do anything about the trade deal --
:05:33. > :05:36.president. It was this? And then he comes galloping over the horizon.
:05:37. > :05:41.When Obama did his town hall meeting with the students, one of them put
:05:42. > :05:46.his hand up and said, could you give advice to your successor, because
:05:47. > :05:54.she may want to do something? Lots of applause. Most people think
:05:55. > :05:59.Hillary Clinton is probably likely to succeed Obama, and she is
:06:00. > :06:03.reinforcing the same argument he has made that it is very important
:06:04. > :06:08.Britain stays in the year. That is a helpful intervention for Downing
:06:09. > :06:12.Street and David Cameron. And going back to what we were talking about
:06:13. > :06:17.earlier, if you believe in the sovereignty thing, if that is your
:06:18. > :06:21.thing, you will vote out. If you are worried about the economy, you will
:06:22. > :06:25.probably vote in. The people in the middle of thinking, what happens on
:06:26. > :06:31.trade or immigration? It is a fluid situation. There are a lot of people
:06:32. > :06:36.in the middle. It is between a quarter and a third of people who
:06:37. > :06:39.have not made their minds up. We have been writing about this every
:06:40. > :06:43.week since the general election and are ready to throw ourselves off a
:06:44. > :06:47.cliff collectively, but a lot of people are not paying that much
:06:48. > :06:55.attention. Friends are intelligent and engage. A poll in your paper was
:06:56. > :06:59.saying that it was moving towards leave, and now we have swung back
:07:00. > :07:03.the other way. I suspect we have another few pendulum is to go.
:07:04. > :07:07.Another ten weeks of this wonderful debate to go until we go to the
:07:08. > :07:13.polling stations! Thank goodness we have lots of time. For now let's
:07:14. > :07:17.move on to a story you have written on the front of the Sunday Times
:07:18. > :07:25.about the doctor strike which is imminent. It is the contingency
:07:26. > :07:34.planning being made for the strike. We'll be strike go-ahead? -- will
:07:35. > :07:41.the strike? We have not seen anything on this scale, it is due on
:07:42. > :07:46.Tuesday Wednesday, and they will a mass walkout. There will be no
:07:47. > :07:50.emergency care. Pregnant women to be hit by the strike, hundreds of
:07:51. > :07:54.thousands of operations and appointments being cancelled. What
:07:55. > :07:57.is happening this evening is that the Labour Party have tried to
:07:58. > :08:03.broker a deal between the doctors, and are offering the guilty Jeremy
:08:04. > :08:07.Hunt. They have a former Tory spokesman, other former ministers
:08:08. > :08:12.and the BMA all on board. -- offering the deal to Jeremy Hunt.
:08:13. > :08:19.They are saying roll out the contract, but don't do it
:08:20. > :08:24.everywhere, do a pilot scheme. And talk about these people dying out
:08:25. > :08:28.weekends. The BMA have dug themselves into a hole, and the
:08:29. > :08:32.government are in a sticky position. The BMA are in a sticky position is
:08:33. > :08:38.if people start dying Outlook support the doctors will drop. The
:08:39. > :08:45.idea that people will die because of a lack of doctors in emergency is a
:08:46. > :08:49.scary prospect. We have seen some effects, but this is on a different
:08:50. > :08:54.level. The thing to remember is that the previous strikes have just been
:08:55. > :08:59.junior doctors walking out, and still preserving emergency care. My
:09:00. > :09:03.step father and husband were both taken to hospital during the last
:09:04. > :09:08.strike and was still seen to, although it took longer. There were
:09:09. > :09:13.both down with. This is an all out strike, said people in emergency,
:09:14. > :09:18.those doing the most critical care cover, and will not be there. There
:09:19. > :09:24.is a great sentiment from Conservatives and Labour that Jeremy
:09:25. > :09:27.Hunt has not managed this well. Are you getting the impression among
:09:28. > :09:34.Conservative MPs that notwithstanding they might see the
:09:35. > :09:41.argument, moving to a seven-day NHS, which is already seven-day, but the
:09:42. > :09:45.screening and back office services and operations taking place, they
:09:46. > :09:48.believe in that, but they think the way they have got themselves into
:09:49. > :09:54.this confrontation has been a mistake. They have been at
:09:55. > :09:59.loggerheads. To see somebody try to offer a situation that could get
:10:00. > :10:03.them both off the hook without losing too much face in political
:10:04. > :10:08.terms is significant. So you can still say I have the new contract.
:10:09. > :10:13.The other thing that is interesting is you have seen the Labour Party
:10:14. > :10:19.since Jeremy Corbyn became leader, which is consigned itself to arguing
:10:20. > :10:22.internally. Jeremy Corbyn pursues his own agenda but doesn't often
:10:23. > :10:26.seem to engage with the political sphere and trying to affect what is
:10:27. > :10:33.happening. But this is interesting, Labour bringing people together.
:10:34. > :10:36.This is the Shadow Health Secretary. She is trying to find a way that
:10:37. > :10:42.might satisfy Jeremy Hunt and the BMA. That is a difficult thing to
:10:43. > :10:47.do. In the next couple of days we might find out if this will go
:10:48. > :10:52.ahead. The first bit of constructive opposition we have seen for a while.
:10:53. > :10:56.And face-saving on both sides, which is politically important. That is on
:10:57. > :11:00.the front of the Telegraph as well, but I am struck by this story with
:11:01. > :11:08.the little photograph of Philip Hammond. This one really has
:11:09. > :11:11.potential to be incendiary. This is the situation that British ground
:11:12. > :11:15.forces might be said to be beyond. There has been lots of mood music
:11:16. > :11:20.that this may or may not be on the agenda, and we think special forces
:11:21. > :11:27.to some extent Tom at the SAS are already embedded. It depends what
:11:28. > :11:32.you consider graduates are. We change the law in Britain so we
:11:33. > :11:37.cannot send in troops will go to war will do anything without the consent
:11:38. > :11:42.of Parliament. So it is significant here is saying this in his own
:11:43. > :11:48.terms. He is also making astonishing warnings about British cruise liners
:11:49. > :11:53.and commercial shipping being warned to avoid the coast of Libya. Even
:11:54. > :12:00.some of the big cruising companies do go very close to the coast. All
:12:01. > :12:05.round, a very worrying development. We have troops probably already in
:12:06. > :12:09.there. Until now, we have had talk about sending people to train and
:12:10. > :12:14.assist. Hammond has been over to Libya. President Obama asked for
:12:15. > :12:19.what he learned there. My impression from Downing Street is that the
:12:20. > :12:23.people running Libya at the moment I trying to do their own thing and
:12:24. > :12:28.don't necessarily want to be seen to be bringing in Western troops -- are
:12:29. > :12:33.trying. They want to get something in place that maybe they can assist
:12:34. > :12:41.with logistical support and training and advice, but it is obviously
:12:42. > :12:45.significant if he is really out -- ruling out sending ground troops. We
:12:46. > :12:49.have had this statement from Michael Fallon saying that the promise
:12:50. > :12:54.William Hague made at the end of last Parliament that the government
:12:55. > :12:58.would legislate, put in more that Parliament has to give its consent
:12:59. > :13:03.before troops are deployed, was not going to happen. They want to
:13:04. > :13:15.maintain flexibility. It is like an irregular verb. You consent to this
:13:16. > :13:22.device, -- UK and -- you can send troops to advise. It is pretty well
:13:23. > :13:27.established that the SAS are there in significant numbers. But they
:13:28. > :13:30.won't talk about it. They has been suggestion of escalation and they
:13:31. > :13:35.won't talk about that either. Interesting. Let's end on your
:13:36. > :13:41.paper, Caroline. I would like to talk about cold callers. But we will
:13:42. > :13:47.leave that. I have to ask you about this top story, why are we losing so
:13:48. > :13:54.many stars in 2016? It says Siebe pages eight and nine -- see pages
:13:55. > :14:00.89. It is a stellar lineup. You have David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Victoria
:14:01. > :14:07.Wood, Paul Daniels and Prints. The reason they are at buying is the
:14:08. > :14:13.stars. Apparently the planets are all aligned a certain way, which is
:14:14. > :14:17.not happened for the last 13 years, and apparently the last time, we
:14:18. > :14:26.lost James Cagney, Kerry Grant and Orson Welles. The sad news is that
:14:27. > :14:31.they will be more of the same until the end of the year -- Carey Grant.
:14:32. > :14:36.We could do some more. But then it will not happen again until 2045
:14:37. > :14:41.when we'll see another year of great tragedy. If you are a celebrity,
:14:42. > :14:46.hide in the cellar for the rest of the year. Early nights. Don't stay
:14:47. > :14:53.up for the paper review. Stop joking and you will be fine. Thank you both
:14:54. > :14:58.for being with us. That is it. Coming up now it is The Film Review.
:14:59. > :15:00.Without. -- good night.
