:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are John Kampfner, Director of Creative Industries,

:00:21. > :00:23.and the Associate Editor of the Spectator and Vote Leave

:00:24. > :00:30.The Independent pictures the commemorations in Liverpool

:00:31. > :00:32.for the 96 that were unlawfully killed in the Hillsborough disaster.

:00:33. > :00:35.It also writes that the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn was forced

:00:36. > :00:40.by the Shadow Cabinet to suspended Bradford MP Naz Shah

:00:41. > :00:44.After pressure from the Shadow Cabinet.

:00:45. > :00:46.The Metro leads with the resignation of Chief Constable David Crompton

:00:47. > :00:49.from South Yorkshire Police over allegations he tried to play

:00:50. > :00:51.down his force's role in the Hillsborough disaster

:00:52. > :00:54.The Guardian says the South Yorkshire Police and crime

:00:55. > :00:56.commissioner Alan Billings lost confidence in his Chief Constable

:00:57. > :00:58.after speaking to family members' of the Hillsborough victims.

:00:59. > :01:00.New Day writes of a backlash against gambling websites

:01:01. > :01:03.following the death of a graduate who killed himself because

:01:04. > :01:06.The Express says a cure for Alzheimer's Diease could be

:01:07. > :01:09.America's Federal Reserve may raise US interest rates in

:01:10. > :01:11.the coming months, say the Financial Times,

:01:12. > :01:15.after worries about the global economy eased.

:01:16. > :01:18.The Daily Mail headlines that hospitals are bracing for five

:01:19. > :01:20.days of chaos following the junior doctors' strike.

:01:21. > :01:45.Rotten to the core, aged gospel being suspended after the inquest.

:01:46. > :01:53.He led the police's defence during the inquest, he has been suspended.

:01:54. > :01:58.He was due to retire in six months, so this will not have a catastrophic

:01:59. > :02:08.impact on his career. I'm not sure it will satisfy people as a

:02:09. > :02:12.suitable, severe enough punishment. When people had been suspended from

:02:13. > :02:16.these jobs, they still carry on receiving their salaries. In effect,

:02:17. > :02:21.he will receive his salary, he will not have to work for it. In six

:02:22. > :02:27.months, he will retire, which he will do anyway, and live on a fat

:02:28. > :02:31.pension. This is concerning, the tactics that the police used in the

:02:32. > :02:35.inquest. They are still sticking to the suggestion that some of these

:02:36. > :02:41.fans were drunk, that they were ticketless and were rowdy and

:02:42. > :02:45.whatever. As to be the same, if this will be the only head that rolls as

:02:46. > :02:48.a result of all of this, it will not be enough. They have taken this

:02:49. > :02:53.approach even though they have previously apologise or released a

:02:54. > :03:01.notional apology in 2012, during one of the many interminable enquiries

:03:02. > :03:06.into Hillsborough that got nowhere. They then took this pugilistic,

:03:07. > :03:12.confrontational approach with lawyers cross questioning victims'

:03:13. > :03:18.families as if they were criminals. Why do you think that is? Did the

:03:19. > :03:22.believe the original lies, or were they being forceful about those lies

:03:23. > :03:27.to give the more credence? The technical explanation, I report this

:03:28. > :03:35.what I have read, the police said they had to do this because if the

:03:36. > :03:39.repeated the apology chewing the inquest, it would be prejudicial.

:03:40. > :03:43.That seems completely daft. Does that wash for you, to be questioned

:03:44. > :03:52.it doesn't sound appropriate to me. Andy Burnham has been very

:03:53. > :03:58.influential. Theresa May was very thorough, going through, line by

:03:59. > :04:02.line, for the record in Parliament, the judgment as handed down

:04:03. > :04:13.yesterday by the jury, which is incredibly moving in this past this

:04:14. > :04:17.of the language. Andy Burnham has been emotional in the best sense of

:04:18. > :04:23.the term, this rotten to the core is him saying in Parliament the actions

:04:24. > :04:30.of South Yorkshire Police. It seems to be institutionally rotten as a

:04:31. > :04:34.police force, back from 1989, and the lies that were said then, all

:04:35. > :04:44.the way through to the actions now. Their potential criminal actions

:04:45. > :04:50.being -- criminal prosecutions with the CPS. There is a sense of those

:04:51. > :04:53.who stood by and saw this happen and try to placate the families, they

:04:54. > :05:03.need to have their day in court. Let's move on to the Guardian.

:05:04. > :05:14.Joining forces on BT you. All kinds of strange bedfellows are going on

:05:15. > :05:20.as a result of this campaign. The Remain campaign believe that these

:05:21. > :05:29.handshakes across the divide will help unify people. There was a

:05:30. > :05:37.picture of them laughing together. I do not pay the -- do not think the

:05:38. > :05:48.play well to the narrative. They think it is an assumption -- and

:05:49. > :05:55.establishment stitch up. They brought in Obama as well. Surely it

:05:56. > :06:00.is only Mr Bush would stitch up if you believe none of the three

:06:01. > :06:17.London-based mainstream parties represent POTUS. -- reticent voters.

:06:18. > :06:27.If you want to... In the terms of the Labour Party, a lot want to exit

:06:28. > :06:31.as opposed to remain. For all three political leaders to be in favour of

:06:32. > :06:38.remaining seems like a bit of a stitch up because so many mothers of

:06:39. > :06:48.their -- so many members of their party want to leave.

:06:49. > :06:55.What do you think of the opposing coalition? I prefer to think of the

:06:56. > :07:03.exit coalition as being between Kate Hoey on the Labour side, Douglas

:07:04. > :07:09.Carswell, who is pro-immigration, and people like Boris Johnson and

:07:10. > :07:27.Michael Gove, John Whittingdale, it Ian Duncan Smith. It is a rebel

:07:28. > :07:40.alliance. The Death Star being the Remain campaign. It is odd that the

:07:41. > :07:45.former leader of the TUC should join forces with David Cameron to say

:07:46. > :07:50.that wages should fall if we leave the EU when Sir Stuart Rose, the

:07:51. > :07:53.notional leader of the Britain is stronger in Europe campaign, even

:07:54. > :07:58.though they swept under the carpet since the launch of a campaign,

:07:59. > :08:03.admitted that wages would probably fall or go up if we leave the

:08:04. > :08:10.European Union because, with less immigration, they'll be less

:08:11. > :08:18.downward pressure on wages. It might help our trade deficit as well. The

:08:19. > :08:23.one bit where I disagree ... The one bit where I agree with you is if we

:08:24. > :08:27.have got this alliance, why place it in the Guardian? It will be

:08:28. > :08:35.interesting to do a straw poll of Guardian readers, it will be the

:08:36. > :08:48.strongest redoubt of Stay voters as it is. Bracing for five days of A

:08:49. > :08:51.chaos. A lot of people didn't going to hospital yesterday. There will be

:08:52. > :08:59.problems for quite a while, one would have thought. The more I read

:09:00. > :09:02.about the strike and the more I about the two sites, the more I

:09:03. > :09:13.don't understand why are both so entrenched. I wish we could have

:09:14. > :09:16.some form of conciliation service whose processes and final

:09:17. > :09:22.conclusions are completely binding from the moment you enter into them.

:09:23. > :09:28.It just seems to me... I know you think this might play well for

:09:29. > :09:36.Jeremy Hunt, but the NHS has all been a potentially... Just as the

:09:37. > :09:39.economy and immigration has all been difficult for Labour, the NHS has

:09:40. > :09:45.been difficult for the Conservatives. To pick a fight on

:09:46. > :09:48.the end the chess -- the NHS by design than by accident, and I think

:09:49. > :09:56.this one is more by accident, it seems to not be clever politics. Is

:09:57. > :10:00.this playing well for Jeremy Hunt? I don't they have picked a fight on

:10:01. > :10:02.this deliberately. It was part of the manifesto and they don't think

:10:03. > :10:10.the anticipated that junior doctors would make such a big deal about it.

:10:11. > :10:19.I think we can see that public support for the junior doctors is

:10:20. > :10:22.softening a little bit. In a poll in January, 66% of people supported the

:10:23. > :10:29.doctors. Earlier this week, another had fallen to something like 57%.

:10:30. > :10:36.Because of the decision to have an all-out strike, including emergency

:10:37. > :10:40.services. And redrawing the labour from emergency rooms as well.

:10:41. > :10:45.Stories like this on the front page of the Mail about the chaos in A

:10:46. > :10:49.that will immediately follow, because people will have stayed away

:10:50. > :10:54.if they possibly could during the two-day strike, and they will now go

:10:55. > :10:58.to A in the next couple of days and that will unleash chaos and

:10:59. > :11:01.there could be some unpleasant incidents. What was interesting that

:11:02. > :11:06.in choosing number of hospitals is they got on better as a result of

:11:07. > :11:10.having more consultants on, filling in, because they are making

:11:11. > :11:16.decisions more quickly. That is part of the argument from junior doctors,

:11:17. > :11:20.they are the only ones there at the weekend. The consultants are

:11:21. > :11:23.available, they are on the end of the phone as opposed to being in

:11:24. > :11:27.there in person. Decisions are made more slowly and therefore you have

:11:28. > :11:34.an increase in a number of incidents and bass. They are still working a

:11:35. > :11:42.seven day week. In addition, you have had this total crisis in A

:11:43. > :11:46.over the last many months and years, with people using A as a

:11:47. > :11:52.substitute for the GP practice. That comes around to the question of GP

:11:53. > :11:57.practices, and a lot of them are already, but they should be more

:11:58. > :12:04.available for longer hours. I don't know why that requires people to

:12:05. > :12:09.work longer hours, but a lot of people in so many different walks of

:12:10. > :12:14.life work flexible shift hours, but it does not mean longer howlers. The

:12:15. > :12:19.problem that doctors face is that Jeremy Hunt has called their bluff.

:12:20. > :12:23.I think they are to blink when they threatened an all-out strike like

:12:24. > :12:26.this, he has not blink and it is not clear what they can do because if

:12:27. > :12:31.they be shoe more industrial action, they will lose support. Under the

:12:32. > :12:40.Independent. The Shadow cabinet forcing a U-turn as the suspend the

:12:41. > :12:44.member. It is doubly damaging for Jeremy Corbyn, there have been an

:12:45. > :12:50.other scandals involving anti-Semitism in various Labour

:12:51. > :12:53.Party figures, constituency association and chairpersons and so

:12:54. > :12:59.on. This one is the most serious of all because she re-tweeted some

:13:00. > :13:06.particularly unpleasant remarks about transporting Israelis to

:13:07. > :13:09.America, and that being a solution, using blank was like that, to the

:13:10. > :13:18.conflict in the Middle East. This is the most serious so far, she was a

:13:19. > :13:22.secretary to John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor. It is doubly bad

:13:23. > :13:25.because Jeremy Corbyn initially wanted to just give her a wrist slap

:13:26. > :13:34.and insist that she resign her job but remain holding onto the Labour

:13:35. > :13:37.whip. He was busy overfull by the manners of his Shadow cabinet who

:13:38. > :13:42.thought she should be more firmly reprimanded. This does seem to be a

:13:43. > :13:49.problem that Labour has, a lot of those people who had views, they

:13:50. > :13:55.would say pro-Israeli, not anti-Israel, or try to put Israel

:13:56. > :14:01.down specifically, the Wessing P being pro-Palestinian, a lot of

:14:02. > :14:04.those people are backing Jeremy Corbyn. That is proven to be a

:14:05. > :14:10.problem. They would argue, as you were posing there in your critical

:14:11. > :14:18.question, you can differentiate between the two. It gets incredibly

:14:19. > :14:23.difficult. Jeremy Corbyn, unashamedly, has always been, as

:14:24. > :14:29.long as he has been a left-wing rebel Labour MP, very much at the

:14:30. > :14:35.core of the pro-Palestinian protest movement. It is an absolute

:14:36. > :14:44.minefield now for him, as Toby has pointed out, the inappropriateness

:14:45. > :14:48.of all of those tweets. There is more around people's past statements

:14:49. > :14:57.and that sort of thing. You can forge a foreign policy that can say

:14:58. > :15:00.some stern things about Israeli settlement policies, but you have to

:15:01. > :15:04.choose a language incredibly carefully. I will have to leave it

:15:05. > :15:09.there. Thank your for coming in to look at some of the paper. More

:15:10. > :15:13.coming up now. Time for the weather.
