25/04/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers are bringing us

tomorrow, with me are the writer Natalie Haynes and Rob Merrick.

Let's look at some of those front pages, the Metro is leading with the

junior doctors strike ahead of two days on industrial action starting

tomorrow morning. The i also has the junior doctor's strike. Half of

junior doctors say they will leave the NHS, that is the headline in New

Day. The Daily Express as people with arthritis are topping up their

pills to deal with pain levels. The Daily Mail puts the Jason Myers --

puts the demise of BHS down to mismanagement of funds. The

Financial Times is also looking at that story and there is an

investigation by the pension regulator. The front page of the

Guardian has a picture of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel checking out

technology headsets in Hanover. And it is back to the doctors strike

with the Daily Mirror. It says stop running, start talking to Jeremy

Hunt. Let's begin. The Metro, as good a place as any. The junior

doctors, it is all out war, who is talking about war? The doctors

themselves presumably. Jeremy Hunt is as cross as you would expect in

to after he has been rather neatly sidestepped over the weekend, people

have said what about this cross-party suggestion? He has had

to make the doctors look even more unreasonable, he is insisting junior

doctors do not have the right to ruin a manifesto promise and the

doctors go out at eight o'clock. It would seem to be so. The interesting

thing is this line about the number ten source talking about doctors

trying to topple the government which does seem to go a little bit

file. I was going to mention that and at Westminster it is inch sing

how nasty it has become. It has been a bitter dispute, but it ratcheted

up significantly. -- into resting. There was a suggestion yesterday

that they wanted to bring down government. Perhaps after this

strike is over, the law could be changed to prevent the doctors

pulling out of and E in future. -- accident and emergency in future.

They may have an indefinite strike, it is getting better and more bitter

and it is hard to see how you can get any kind of consensus. There was

this vague labour proposed plan to get a compromise and that went up

and came down like fireworks. People must have thought this was a good

way of trying to sidestep what has become a very entrenched set

positions. Quite clearly it has not worked. You are very unlikely to win

people back to a negotiation table by suggesting they are trying to

bring down the government. That does not sound the most rational

statements. The front page there, the doctors are divided it says

here. The first all-out strike begins without the backing of any

royal colleges. There are an awful lot of doctors and some of them are

junior doctors who do not like the way things are going. They don't

have the backing of the royal colleges that the all-out strike,

but they have the backing of the public. Some polling saying there is

a dip in a public feeling, but it is still strong, that includes accident

and emergency and intensive care. While they have those numbers, the

doctors will think they have the public behind them. Natalie, why do

you think the public are still on their side? It is a vocation and all

those kinds of things, be prepared to work weekends, what a shocking

idea, why are people still in favour? The short answer is because

people see their doctors as trustworthy figures and with some

justification. They are seen periodically when they are

frightened and sick and these are people who generally have made them

feel better. Perhaps they have been in a position where a loved one has

been ill at the weekend and you have been sent to hospital and they have

been there. They know when the government paints the junior doctors

as those anarchist group trying to undermine the state, it simply does

not ring true. We are vast buzzing more likely to mistrust politicians

than doctors. If someone does go to accident and emergency and terrible

things happen as a result, that could swing public opinion. The next

two days are crucial. The doctors feel the level of cover will be

there from consultants, you end up in a knee and the next few days,

there is no reason why your life would be in any greater danger. --

in accident and emergency over the next few days. I was really struck

by how critical this MPI spoke to about Jeremy Hunt. -- this MP I

spoke to. He said he is a giant ego. It was someone on the house

secretary's side who were saying that. The front page picture there

of the present of the United States looking through some strange device

is watched by the German Chancellor. I have to say, it says Europe

united? I am more interested in what they are looking at. Virtual reality

headsets. It looks like the future would have looked in 1984 or 1985 in

a Spielberg movie. I presume it is not a VHS tape with someone googly

eyes stuck on it and there is something more going on inside. The

slightly serious point is here he is with Angela Merkel and all in

agreement. Britain got one mention in the President's speech today, it

literally said the British about something or other. There is only

one question after Europe united, Europe is far from united over

anything at all. If there was some sort of agreement reached today,

that would be a step forward. It was about Syria mainly. The other big

story of the day, VHS, into administration, 11,000 jobs under

threat. The line being taken, why are they being called sharks and why

are they sharklike? The sharks appear to be numerous if not

lawless. Philip Green who used to own BHS before about 14 months ago

when he sold it for a pound. Of that more in a moment, he tried to take

millions of pounds out of the chain before he sold it. If you go to the

Guardian they suggest that he and his family together took out 500

made ?6 million. It was a vast sum of money. Then he sold it for pounds

to a company who have managed subsequently to take out ?25

million. Feel free to observe that perhaps 30 months ago he may have

had a spare pound, I know I did, had I known I could have invested over

?25 million return, I would buy it myself, I just did not know it was

an option but to Oriel -- it was an option! We have to be careful,

because we do not know what happened. It is still a hefty

return. Any prospect of BHS surviving this? All I could hear

today was no, not in its current form. Have you ever shopped there? I

went there today, I am probably to blame for why it is going under, the

only reason why we go in one is to buy a light bulb and I think

everybody else does. I bought a lump there and it was a very good lamp.

-- lamp. In terms of it being far more tempting, it may be right to

blame it on the people who owned it and the bad running of it allegedly.

Maybe we do not want to blame ourselves for not shopping there.

The other serious issue is the business of the pension fund. It is

an unfortunate figure for him. He is a controversial figure anyway. His

wife is in a tax haven and in the past dividends have been paid to her

and not to him, no tax. He has been acting with some behaviour that has

been criticised. If he did take out 560 million, the gap in the pension

fund is 571 million pounds which is almost an identical figure. The

unfortunate thing is his third yacht has been unveiled. Is that

unfortunate for him? It is not terrible misfortune. Cry me a river.

We were talking about it earlier, we were thinking maybe you need a spare

for your spare. It is a strange world to most people. Here is

something from The Daily Express. Perhaps you could talk to us about

this a bit. Arthritis pain, pills warning. The express loves health

stories, what is this about? Five short paragraphs on the front, it

tells us that arthritis sufferers are not getting sufficient

prescription drugs to deal with their pain, so therefore they are

taking over-the-counter pills and there is a risk of side-effects from

doing this. Arthritis sufferers are being urged to try to get better

management of their condition from their doctors rather than was a temp

to over-the-counter pills which may well put their health at risk. --

than an attempt to get over-the-counter pills. A sad story

about the soldier who died just at the end of the marathon. 23 miles

in, aged 31. Incredibly sad. If you can take anything remotely positive

from is undeniably a tragedy it is that his friends and family have put

up a fundraising page in his honour. They have pledged to walk the last

few miles of the marathon from where he dropped and at seven o'clock this

evening those pages were at ?75,000 for help the heroes who he was

raising money for. There is that. I should point out that given that

health scares are bound on the front of the dead express, only 14 people

have died competing in the London Marathon over 36 years over a

million runners. It is a tragedy, but please do not feel like you

cannot run. It is shocking because he is so young. 31 years old,

Captain Davis. Very quickly, because this is the theme of this, the Daily

Mail inside says time does go quickly when you are over 50. It

will happen. Time does go faster. I think everything happened two weeks

or five use ago, for me wine were in the charts five years ago. I do not

love the science. -- Wham. The older you are, the more quickly you can to

120 seconds. It seems to me according to this study, that is not

the same as a whole year, it may mean you are in patient. Your

thoughts on that? It was not clear how you got from people counting,

how quickly you counted to 120, apparently there are age-related

changes in brain chemistry and a feeling of having seen it all

before. It seems like time passes quickly. This has gone quickly, of

course it always does. Thank you both very much. That is it for the

papers tonight. Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC

News website where you can read a detailed review. It is all their

view, seven days a week, BBC .co .uk . All the papers are being posted on

the page. From all three of us, goodbye.

Good evening. It is a frosty night ahead of us. There was all sorts of

weather, some sunshine to be had, showers produced some rain, maybe a

bit of Heol Fasan. We also saw some
