:00:18. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers are bringing us

:00:24. > :00:31.tomorrow, with me are the writer Natalie Haynes and Rob Merrick.

:00:32. > :00:35.Let's look at some of those front pages, the Metro is leading with the

:00:36. > :00:43.junior doctors strike ahead of two days on industrial action starting

:00:44. > :00:48.tomorrow morning. The i also has the junior doctor's strike. Half of

:00:49. > :00:57.junior doctors say they will leave the NHS, that is the headline in New

:00:58. > :01:03.Day. The Daily Express as people with arthritis are topping up their

:01:04. > :01:14.pills to deal with pain levels. The Daily Mail puts the Jason Myers --

:01:15. > :01:18.puts the demise of BHS down to mismanagement of funds. The

:01:19. > :01:23.Financial Times is also looking at that story and there is an

:01:24. > :01:28.investigation by the pension regulator. The front page of the

:01:29. > :01:34.Guardian has a picture of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel checking out

:01:35. > :01:41.technology headsets in Hanover. And it is back to the doctors strike

:01:42. > :01:46.with the Daily Mirror. It says stop running, start talking to Jeremy

:01:47. > :01:54.Hunt. Let's begin. The Metro, as good a place as any. The junior

:01:55. > :01:59.doctors, it is all out war, who is talking about war? The doctors

:02:00. > :02:05.themselves presumably. Jeremy Hunt is as cross as you would expect in

:02:06. > :02:10.to after he has been rather neatly sidestepped over the weekend, people

:02:11. > :02:14.have said what about this cross-party suggestion? He has had

:02:15. > :02:18.to make the doctors look even more unreasonable, he is insisting junior

:02:19. > :02:25.doctors do not have the right to ruin a manifesto promise and the

:02:26. > :02:30.doctors go out at eight o'clock. It would seem to be so. The interesting

:02:31. > :02:33.thing is this line about the number ten source talking about doctors

:02:34. > :02:40.trying to topple the government which does seem to go a little bit

:02:41. > :02:45.file. I was going to mention that and at Westminster it is inch sing

:02:46. > :02:51.how nasty it has become. It has been a bitter dispute, but it ratcheted

:02:52. > :02:58.up significantly. -- into resting. There was a suggestion yesterday

:02:59. > :03:02.that they wanted to bring down government. Perhaps after this

:03:03. > :03:09.strike is over, the law could be changed to prevent the doctors

:03:10. > :03:15.pulling out of and E in future. -- accident and emergency in future.

:03:16. > :03:19.They may have an indefinite strike, it is getting better and more bitter

:03:20. > :03:26.and it is hard to see how you can get any kind of consensus. There was

:03:27. > :03:31.this vague labour proposed plan to get a compromise and that went up

:03:32. > :03:36.and came down like fireworks. People must have thought this was a good

:03:37. > :03:40.way of trying to sidestep what has become a very entrenched set

:03:41. > :03:45.positions. Quite clearly it has not worked. You are very unlikely to win

:03:46. > :03:48.people back to a negotiation table by suggesting they are trying to

:03:49. > :03:58.bring down the government. That does not sound the most rational

:03:59. > :04:02.statements. The front page there, the doctors are divided it says

:04:03. > :04:07.here. The first all-out strike begins without the backing of any

:04:08. > :04:12.royal colleges. There are an awful lot of doctors and some of them are

:04:13. > :04:15.junior doctors who do not like the way things are going. They don't

:04:16. > :04:18.have the backing of the royal colleges that the all-out strike,

:04:19. > :04:29.but they have the backing of the public. Some polling saying there is

:04:30. > :04:32.a dip in a public feeling, but it is still strong, that includes accident

:04:33. > :04:37.and emergency and intensive care. While they have those numbers, the

:04:38. > :04:42.doctors will think they have the public behind them. Natalie, why do

:04:43. > :04:47.you think the public are still on their side? It is a vocation and all

:04:48. > :04:51.those kinds of things, be prepared to work weekends, what a shocking

:04:52. > :04:56.idea, why are people still in favour? The short answer is because

:04:57. > :05:00.people see their doctors as trustworthy figures and with some

:05:01. > :05:03.justification. They are seen periodically when they are

:05:04. > :05:08.frightened and sick and these are people who generally have made them

:05:09. > :05:11.feel better. Perhaps they have been in a position where a loved one has

:05:12. > :05:16.been ill at the weekend and you have been sent to hospital and they have

:05:17. > :05:20.been there. They know when the government paints the junior doctors

:05:21. > :05:25.as those anarchist group trying to undermine the state, it simply does

:05:26. > :05:30.not ring true. We are vast buzzing more likely to mistrust politicians

:05:31. > :05:33.than doctors. If someone does go to accident and emergency and terrible

:05:34. > :05:38.things happen as a result, that could swing public opinion. The next

:05:39. > :05:42.two days are crucial. The doctors feel the level of cover will be

:05:43. > :05:47.there from consultants, you end up in a knee and the next few days,

:05:48. > :05:52.there is no reason why your life would be in any greater danger. --

:05:53. > :05:59.in accident and emergency over the next few days. I was really struck

:06:00. > :06:09.by how critical this MPI spoke to about Jeremy Hunt. -- this MP I

:06:10. > :06:12.spoke to. He said he is a giant ego. It was someone on the house

:06:13. > :06:20.secretary's side who were saying that. The front page picture there

:06:21. > :06:26.of the present of the United States looking through some strange device

:06:27. > :06:31.is watched by the German Chancellor. I have to say, it says Europe

:06:32. > :06:37.united? I am more interested in what they are looking at. Virtual reality

:06:38. > :06:44.headsets. It looks like the future would have looked in 1984 or 1985 in

:06:45. > :06:49.a Spielberg movie. I presume it is not a VHS tape with someone googly

:06:50. > :06:57.eyes stuck on it and there is something more going on inside. The

:06:58. > :07:02.slightly serious point is here he is with Angela Merkel and all in

:07:03. > :07:05.agreement. Britain got one mention in the President's speech today, it

:07:06. > :07:15.literally said the British about something or other. There is only

:07:16. > :07:19.one question after Europe united, Europe is far from united over

:07:20. > :07:25.anything at all. If there was some sort of agreement reached today,

:07:26. > :07:33.that would be a step forward. It was about Syria mainly. The other big

:07:34. > :07:40.story of the day, VHS, into administration, 11,000 jobs under

:07:41. > :07:46.threat. The line being taken, why are they being called sharks and why

:07:47. > :07:52.are they sharklike? The sharks appear to be numerous if not

:07:53. > :08:00.lawless. Philip Green who used to own BHS before about 14 months ago

:08:01. > :08:03.when he sold it for a pound. Of that more in a moment, he tried to take

:08:04. > :08:08.millions of pounds out of the chain before he sold it. If you go to the

:08:09. > :08:14.Guardian they suggest that he and his family together took out 500

:08:15. > :08:19.made ?6 million. It was a vast sum of money. Then he sold it for pounds

:08:20. > :08:24.to a company who have managed subsequently to take out ?25

:08:25. > :08:29.million. Feel free to observe that perhaps 30 months ago he may have

:08:30. > :08:35.had a spare pound, I know I did, had I known I could have invested over

:08:36. > :08:41.?25 million return, I would buy it myself, I just did not know it was

:08:42. > :08:46.an option but to Oriel -- it was an option! We have to be careful,

:08:47. > :08:53.because we do not know what happened. It is still a hefty

:08:54. > :08:59.return. Any prospect of BHS surviving this? All I could hear

:09:00. > :09:10.today was no, not in its current form. Have you ever shopped there? I

:09:11. > :09:14.went there today, I am probably to blame for why it is going under, the

:09:15. > :09:21.only reason why we go in one is to buy a light bulb and I think

:09:22. > :09:31.everybody else does. I bought a lump there and it was a very good lamp.

:09:32. > :09:35.-- lamp. In terms of it being far more tempting, it may be right to

:09:36. > :09:40.blame it on the people who owned it and the bad running of it allegedly.

:09:41. > :09:44.Maybe we do not want to blame ourselves for not shopping there.

:09:45. > :09:51.The other serious issue is the business of the pension fund. It is

:09:52. > :09:55.an unfortunate figure for him. He is a controversial figure anyway. His

:09:56. > :10:04.wife is in a tax haven and in the past dividends have been paid to her

:10:05. > :10:09.and not to him, no tax. He has been acting with some behaviour that has

:10:10. > :10:15.been criticised. If he did take out 560 million, the gap in the pension

:10:16. > :10:19.fund is 571 million pounds which is almost an identical figure. The

:10:20. > :10:23.unfortunate thing is his third yacht has been unveiled. Is that

:10:24. > :10:34.unfortunate for him? It is not terrible misfortune. Cry me a river.

:10:35. > :10:42.We were talking about it earlier, we were thinking maybe you need a spare

:10:43. > :10:46.for your spare. It is a strange world to most people. Here is

:10:47. > :10:52.something from The Daily Express. Perhaps you could talk to us about

:10:53. > :10:58.this a bit. Arthritis pain, pills warning. The express loves health

:10:59. > :11:02.stories, what is this about? Five short paragraphs on the front, it

:11:03. > :11:06.tells us that arthritis sufferers are not getting sufficient

:11:07. > :11:10.prescription drugs to deal with their pain, so therefore they are

:11:11. > :11:15.taking over-the-counter pills and there is a risk of side-effects from

:11:16. > :11:19.doing this. Arthritis sufferers are being urged to try to get better

:11:20. > :11:23.management of their condition from their doctors rather than was a temp

:11:24. > :11:32.to over-the-counter pills which may well put their health at risk. --

:11:33. > :11:37.than an attempt to get over-the-counter pills. A sad story

:11:38. > :11:44.about the soldier who died just at the end of the marathon. 23 miles

:11:45. > :11:49.in, aged 31. Incredibly sad. If you can take anything remotely positive

:11:50. > :11:53.from is undeniably a tragedy it is that his friends and family have put

:11:54. > :11:57.up a fundraising page in his honour. They have pledged to walk the last

:11:58. > :12:02.few miles of the marathon from where he dropped and at seven o'clock this

:12:03. > :12:08.evening those pages were at ?75,000 for help the heroes who he was

:12:09. > :12:12.raising money for. There is that. I should point out that given that

:12:13. > :12:16.health scares are bound on the front of the dead express, only 14 people

:12:17. > :12:23.have died competing in the London Marathon over 36 years over a

:12:24. > :12:27.million runners. It is a tragedy, but please do not feel like you

:12:28. > :12:35.cannot run. It is shocking because he is so young. 31 years old,

:12:36. > :12:40.Captain Davis. Very quickly, because this is the theme of this, the Daily

:12:41. > :12:49.Mail inside says time does go quickly when you are over 50. It

:12:50. > :12:54.will happen. Time does go faster. I think everything happened two weeks

:12:55. > :13:03.or five use ago, for me wine were in the charts five years ago. I do not

:13:04. > :13:09.love the science. -- Wham. The older you are, the more quickly you can to

:13:10. > :13:14.120 seconds. It seems to me according to this study, that is not

:13:15. > :13:20.the same as a whole year, it may mean you are in patient. Your

:13:21. > :13:29.thoughts on that? It was not clear how you got from people counting,

:13:30. > :13:31.how quickly you counted to 120, apparently there are age-related

:13:32. > :13:36.changes in brain chemistry and a feeling of having seen it all

:13:37. > :13:44.before. It seems like time passes quickly. This has gone quickly, of

:13:45. > :13:51.course it always does. Thank you both very much. That is it for the

:13:52. > :13:56.papers tonight. Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC

:13:57. > :14:02.News website where you can read a detailed review. It is all their

:14:03. > :14:12.view, seven days a week, BBC .co .uk . All the papers are being posted on

:14:13. > :14:23.the page. From all three of us, goodbye.

:14:24. > :14:31.Good evening. It is a frosty night ahead of us. There was all sorts of

:14:32. > :14:36.weather, some sunshine to be had, showers produced some rain, maybe a

:14:37. > :14:37.bit of Heol Fasan. We also saw some
