Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:16.:00:19.

With me are the financial commentator Louise Cooper

:00:20.:00:22.

and the deputy editor at the Daily Express,

:00:23.:00:24.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:25.:00:32.

The Financial Times reports that the number of foreign EU

:00:33.:00:34.

nationals working in the UK has reached record levels -

:00:35.:00:36.

a statistic it says has been seized upon by those campaigning

:00:37.:00:39.

And that story's also the lead in the Daily Mail.

:00:40.:00:47.

The deal between the BMA and the government in the junior

:00:48.:00:49.

doctors dispute makes the front page of the Metro.

:00:50.:00:53.

The Telegraph leads with comments from the Bank of England's chief

:00:54.:00:55.

economist, who says the pensions system is too complicated

:00:56.:00:57.

The Guardian says a government-commissioned report

:00:58.:01:01.

into antibiotic effectiveness will call on pharmaceutical

:01:02.:01:04.

companies to fund the development of new drugs.

:01:05.:01:08.

While the Mirror warns that the Zika virus could spread to places

:01:09.:01:11.

in Europe popular with British holiday-makers.

:01:12.:01:13.

And the Queen's Speech makes the front page of the Times,

:01:14.:01:15.

with the Government's pledge to give everyone the right

:01:16.:01:18.

Every flavour of some of the front pages. Let's look at those and some

:01:19.:01:36.

of the others. Michael, tell us about the deal for junior doctors.

:01:37.:01:43.

There should be about coming up. The good news breaking earlier on, we

:01:44.:01:48.

hope it is good news, the bitter row between the government and junior

:01:49.:01:52.

doctors. The BMA playing hardball with the government, backing down.

:01:53.:01:58.

Copper mines on both sides. Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, saying

:01:59.:02:05.

this is a win for everybody. The BMA excepting that doctors will get the

:02:06.:02:08.

same rates for everyday, including weekends. It had been a thorny

:02:09.:02:16.

issue. Over seven weekends, they would get a premium. There has been

:02:17.:02:21.

backing down. The government originally offering 13%

:02:22.:02:29.

across-the-board, now 10%. Whether the doctors will actually agree to

:02:30.:02:33.

this, I don't know. Because it has dragged on so long, the BMA started

:02:34.:02:37.

to realise they were losing the goodwill of the public if they kept

:02:38.:02:45.

on with this stance. Wait and see. 40,000 members voting, interesting

:02:46.:02:51.

to see what occurs. You raise the question about where they will vote.

:02:52.:02:58.

That is where the Guardian takes it? Whether junior doctors will back it.

:02:59.:03:05.

There is a backlash from junior doctors are unhappy about the terms

:03:06.:03:09.

agreed by the union. The vote is not until June. We have to wait over a

:03:10.:03:15.

month until it. Possibly a little too early to celebrate, if the

:03:16.:03:19.

junior doctors do not back the union. In terms of the deal, you can

:03:20.:03:29.

get 10% increase in pay if you work one in two weekends. Interesting to

:03:30.:03:35.

see family people get extra pay working weekends. In terms of

:03:36.:03:41.

unsocial hours, 37% increase in the basic pay. We have just had average

:03:42.:03:52.

earning figures, rising something like two percent. Doing five times

:03:53.:03:57.

better than the average of the UK. What is interesting about this, you

:03:58.:04:04.

mentioned the doctors not liking it, reading further down, a quote from

:04:05.:04:08.

one junior doctor, it is a question, who the ones that don't like blame.

:04:09.:04:15.

One saying it is the BMA's term for propaganda, selling us this is a

:04:16.:04:24.

good deal, when it is the organisation negotiating. It is the

:04:25.:04:32.

same amount of doctors doing more work five, to seven days. They often

:04:33.:04:39.

said it was not about money, it was about safety concerns. Also saying

:04:40.:04:44.

it is going to devalue the worklife balance. People value junior

:04:45.:04:49.

doctors, but interesting to see what the public reaction is to the vote

:04:50.:04:55.

if they decide not to accept it. The public reaction to pull the people

:04:56.:05:01.

not getting ten, or 11% pay rises this year, and have not had one for

:05:02.:05:05.

many years. Let's coach of the other story in the Guardian. Radical plan,

:05:06.:05:13.

says the Guardian, to halt the scourge of drug resistance will stop

:05:14.:05:18.

about antibiotic controls. This is Jim O'Neill, X Goldman Sachs

:05:19.:05:24.

economist, multimillionaire, make the George Osborne. -- mates with

:05:25.:05:33.

George Osborne. Always appears by his side in pictures. He was given

:05:34.:05:38.

his ministerial position to look at and Faye ticks. He has come out with

:05:39.:05:44.

proposals, that the drugs industry needs to pay or play. Either you

:05:45.:05:50.

invest in new antibiotics, or we force you to pay. All very good, we

:05:51.:05:55.

are only one country, this is a worldwide problem. One of the

:05:56.:06:00.

problem is, for instant stability laces resistance, the complicated

:06:01.:06:06.

mix of antibiotics has not been given around the world. This is a

:06:07.:06:11.

global club. You are looking at an organisation like the world health

:06:12.:06:16.

organisation. To steer something? He needs to get them on board. The

:06:17.:06:23.

other thing he has said is to ban doctors prescribing and 56 until

:06:24.:06:28.

carrying out tests. The last time I went to the GP to ten days to get my

:06:29.:06:33.

first results back. He comes from Goldman Sachs, click your fingers,

:06:34.:06:39.

the world changes. Interesting to see how doctors react. They had to

:06:40.:06:46.

make these key diagnosis decisions very quickly. He says he finds it

:06:47.:06:57.

incredible people make diagnosis on immediate symptoms. Sometimes you

:06:58.:07:01.

have to, or people die. The association of the British

:07:02.:07:07.

pharmaceutical industry have reacted, they recognise the need for

:07:08.:07:10.

a collaboratively sponsored. That means let someone else do it. The

:07:11.:07:16.

argument is, there has to be some sort of financial incentive for

:07:17.:07:19.

companies to look into things they otherwise might not do. The cost of

:07:20.:07:24.

developing drugs is absolutely massive. Takes over a decade.

:07:25.:07:29.

Clearly cheaper and easier to do generic drugs. Good luck on that

:07:30.:07:36.

one. You would think the incentive would be to sell a lot more? Being a

:07:37.:07:41.

drugs company. Is that not incentive enough? Pay a fee quick, develop

:07:42.:07:47.

them, cure or the things you want to kill, sell a lot of drugs? The

:07:48.:07:57.

Telegraph. You would think Goldman Sachs would understand capitalism?

:07:58.:08:05.

Will you kick ass off. The bank Chivu cannot make sense of pensions.

:08:06.:08:11.

They are leading with this. Andy Hell Dane is the Bank of England's

:08:12.:08:22.

chief economist. He is a lively wondered how you are going to put

:08:23.:08:28.

that. Lively is good. He came back negative interest rates, proposing

:08:29.:08:33.

the idea of getting rid of cash. He thinks outside the box. He sounds

:08:34.:08:43.

really annoying. If you are on a final salary scheme, you are

:08:44.:08:49.

absolutely fine. You people are. As in my parents' generation, they are

:08:50.:08:56.

things of the past. They have died, pretty much extinct. The problem is

:08:57.:09:00.

we have to look after our own retirement. The pensions industry

:09:01.:09:05.

makes a lot of money out of confusing us. My personal

:09:06.:09:11.

experience, working in the financial service industry, for a long time,

:09:12.:09:16.

they deliberately make it complex, so consumers do not understand it.

:09:17.:09:20.

They can make extraordinary amounts of money. Capitalism? Depressingly.

:09:21.:09:30.

One of the big things is fees. 30, 40 year basis, how long people save

:09:31.:09:37.

for a pension. If you are charged, 1.5%, it is possible they pensions

:09:38.:09:44.

company can take three quarters of the upside. Most people do not

:09:45.:09:49.

understand that. The pensions industry is very, very reluctant to

:09:50.:09:56.

tell us about fees. He says himself, the advisers do not have a clue what

:09:57.:10:02.

they are advising people. Advisers say they do not have a clue, not a

:10:03.:10:09.

basis for sound financial planning. This comes on the back of a 600 page

:10:10.:10:18.

report. That was not light reading. He talks about how people are

:10:19.:10:20.

falling out of love with the financial sector. You cannot go to

:10:21.:10:27.

the bank. People say you cannot see your bank manager, you cannot see

:10:28.:10:30.

your cashier anymore. People are losing trust even more with the

:10:31.:10:37.

financial industry. The more they shut banks on Street, evil are

:10:38.:10:42.

losing trust. Michael, let me take you to your paper. Migrant worker

:10:43.:10:50.

numbers surging, implement surging faster than the British workers.

:10:51.:10:55.

Keeping wages low. It has been left on by Brexit supporters. -- let on.

:10:56.:11:06.

Lunch and 29,000 foreigners, 224,000 EU migrants finding work in Britain.

:11:07.:11:17.

At the same time, the UK workers rising just 180,000. Iain Duncan

:11:18.:11:23.

Smith pointing out of these sorts of jobs, low-wage, low skilled,

:11:24.:11:28.

attractive to migrants will stop that keeps low wages down. They love

:11:29.:11:32.

the companies are taking advantage of it, then. A record high. -- we

:11:33.:11:50.

have 75% employment, a record high. If we get out of the EU, we can stop

:11:51.:11:55.

these migrants coming in, wages would give up. These are due to

:11:56.:12:07.

fiscal studies save this data should not be used, they caution data. The

:12:08.:12:11.

first time the delegates press have the same headline as the Financial

:12:12.:12:17.

Times. Does not happen often. We're just as clever. The Financial Times

:12:18.:12:26.

looks at the data in different ways, the Daily Express saying

:12:27.:12:29.

essentially, more than half of the new jobs going to VE and migrants,

:12:30.:12:36.

the Financial Times looks at the percentage of the working population

:12:37.:12:39.

that comes from you. Quite startling. A decade ago with 2.6% of

:12:40.:12:48.

workers came from the EU, three years ago that was 4.8%. Now 6.8%.

:12:49.:12:55.

Extraordinary growth. The point about the ONS data, many say that

:12:56.:13:04.

data underestimates the scale of the workers coming into the UK. Does not

:13:05.:13:08.

sign up with National Insurance statistics. One more, with the

:13:09.:13:20.

Financial Times. The U2 frets -- PE threatening to force Netflix and

:13:21.:13:28.

Amazon to 20% European concept. You wonder what going to watch. The car

:13:29.:13:34.

chases, things blowing up in America, what people want to see. --

:13:35.:13:40.

content. The BBC does lots of educational things. Netflix, Amazon,

:13:41.:13:48.

you can relax away from that. PE you, if you have not made your mind

:13:49.:13:54.

up, they want 20% of the capital to have European films and

:13:55.:13:57.

documentaries. Do we want to see that, or something blowing up in LA?

:13:58.:14:04.

Answer that briefly. French radio stations had to do the same.

:14:05.:14:08.

Complaints in the French media the same old, tired and cliched French

:14:09.:14:14.

pop songs throw in on-air to make the craters. The French are very

:14:15.:14:21.

upset about this. Johnny Halliday. On that note of European harmony, I

:14:22.:14:25.

have to bring things of the close. That is it tonight. All of the front

:14:26.:14:32.

pages online on the BBC News website, you can read in detail the

:14:33.:14:36.

review of the papers for you seven days a week. You can see us there.

:14:37.:14:47.

Should be posted on the face shortly after we have done our job. Thank

:14:48.:14:58.

you, viz and Michael. -- Louise and Michael.

:14:59.:15:05.

Quite a soggy day for some of us today. Quite a few downpours, some

:15:06.:15:08.

hail and
