Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will bring us tomorrow. | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
Our guests this evening are Henry Bonsu and Kieran Dixon former Trade | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Minister Lord Digby Jones. Nice to see you both. Front pages, starting | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
with the Metro, dedicating its front page to be HS going into liquidation | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
with the expected loss of 11,000 jobs. The FT goes with the same | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
lead. The Daily Express goes with a health story, reporting that doctors | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
now believe are obese people with type two diabetes can quadruple | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
their chances of survival with weight loss surgery. The Guardian | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
focuses on David Cameron asking the UK not to commit self harm by | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
leaving be you. The Daily Mail says the UK is failing to expel foreign | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
criminals and this has undermined the case for Britain to remain in | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
the EU. The Daily Mirror claims boxing legend Muhammad Ali has been | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
rushed to hospital after suffering from breathing problems. Let's start | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
with a famous name on the high Street, 88 years in business and now | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
British home stores has gone into liquidation. Here it is on the | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Metro. The shutters finally come down on BHS. We have heard a lot of | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
people, Digby, saying they are sorry to see it closing, but we are | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
shocked. The significance of the liquidation is overplayed in the | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
press. These people's jobs are no more or less insecure than | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
yesterday. The differences, it is an admission that no one wants to buy | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
it, so no longer will it be a going concern, no longer can somebody say | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
they will pay money and buy a business that opens every day, so | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
there is an admission that no one wants it. The problem you have is | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
how much of this is a commentary on the world going past BHS. Dear one | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Woolworths went? What it was about was that the product, the offering, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
people didn't want any more, and if that is the case, the best thing we | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
can do with 11,000 people is put the effort into Skillings and finding | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the mother worked rather than saying, this is dreadful and we | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
ought to keep BHS open, because it is probably the offering to the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
public is what they want to buy. Even if that is the case there have | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
been criticisms of previous owners and how they have treated them, lack | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
of investment, taking money out. Especially when you consider the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
person who became a billionaire when he bought be HS 16 years ago, Sir | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Philip Green, he was a darling of a number of newspapers, seen of the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
great British buccaneer of the high Street. Some people including Labour | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
MP Frank Fielding want to drag him before select committees, I think is | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
going before one in parliament and a couple of weeks, and I sat -- some | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
people are floating the idea of removing him. We will be in violent | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
agreement about this, but you are mixing up two things. One thing is, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
11,000 people out there who tomorrow morning are working for a company | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
nobody wants to buy its products, therefore the whole issue should be, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
how do we find work for 11,000 people. That is different from how | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
did we get here. We are looking at the coverage area, it is the paper | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
reviews. Let's look at the FT. Last-ditch efforts fail to save BHS, | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
fruitless scrabble to find a buyer. On the point of how people behave | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
when they buy companies, surely it should be against the law to take so | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
much money out that the future of that company is imperilled. Except | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
of course. If you have this amount of profit you have made and it is in | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
the company called reserves, you are entitled as a shareholder to eat | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
into the reserves as long as you can pay the debts. You Anae can argue | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
about whether that is morally right or what it does to the stability of | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the business, but the concept of it being illegal, no matter how morally | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
we might have a view, you have to be very careful. Indeed we must but we | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
talk about being ethical, we hold summits in this country on | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
corruption, we preach on it... What I am saying is, the brand of Britain | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
and business and ethics is famous throughout the world so we need to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
hold ourselves to a high standard. Business people in this country need | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
to. But if you own the company you only assets in it. Including the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
people, it would appear. There are two distinct things here. Yesterday, | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
the people running it say, no one wants to buy this business, 11,000 | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
good people will lose their jobs. Let's have a maximum effort to try | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
to find the mother work. That is a different argument to, how did we | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
get here. In the first bit, that is what the paper review is about. The | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
second bit, how did we get here, I am in agreement with you, we have to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
be careful about using certain words. I am pulling back... The | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
people who buy large did nothing illegal, although morally there is a | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
big issue. The question is, what should the select committee be able | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
to do. They will ask questions Philip Green and Dominic Shepherd. I | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
have appeared before a select committee, the people asking | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
questions don't knows much as you do so they grandstand and try to ask | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
questions that say, look at me, whereas the people being questioned | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
now the subject. The real sport would be, will Philip Green keep his | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
temper. Will presses buttons? We have to move on, I'm so sorry! Let's | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
look at the Guardian, Cameron, let us not roll the dice on Britain, | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
voting to leave the EU would be economic self harm, the Prime | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Minister insists. Angela Merkel also, saying, if you want to change | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
the rules on how the EU operates, staying. She is making it very clear | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
that although Brexit supporters say the Germans want to sell BMW to us, | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
the French sell champagne to us, there is no way they will wreck good | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
established relationships over decades. Angela Merkel is saying | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
clearly, you might find it very chilly outside the European Union, | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
so don't be foolish. Cameron is echoing that in the first of the set | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
piece discussions on sky earlier this evening, and Faisal Islam was | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the presenter, really pushing him hard on the issue of migration, and | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
also project fear, and apparently Cameron came unstuck on the issue of | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
keeping immigration down to the tens of thousands. I am quite pleased | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
that the Prime Minister, for once, hasn't often does death of the | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
first-born, plague of frogs and blood in the street if we leave the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
EU. He is finally being asked to address certain issues. I did say, | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the Prime Minister behaving in a statesman-like fashion, which I | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
think has been lacking. The other side have been doing much the same | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
sort of stuff. What I find interesting is, I am worried about | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
this nation hitching its wagon to a train that is marching towards 1917. | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
In Asia's century, I don't see much reform in Europe. Some people like | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
me are saying, I don't want to leave it but I wanted to reform. For my | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
grandchildren's sake I am beginning to think it should be right to come | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
out. What Cameron is saying, for your grandchildren's circuit would | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
be right to stay in. I think the long-term issue is the one not being | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
talked about. I think economic turbulence will happen and I believe | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Europe is not competitive, but it is what will happen 30 years down the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
line. The trouble is, that you can't deal with that. I can't forecast in | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
the morning, nor can the Treasury. I am so sorry, there is too much to | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
talk about! I am trying to be rational about those. The Daily | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Mail, we fail to deports... Human rights being blamed here, Digby, | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
there is a mechanism for deporting criminals. The issue, in the text | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
they do with the issue quite well, the problem is always with this sort | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
of newspaper, the headline has little to do with the merits of the | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
case. They are saying, you have at the moment the right for people to | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
come into Europe without defence. Some will be criminals. If they | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
commit a certain crime there is in place in agreement, you can deport | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
them, and we have 5000 people walking around in the communities | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
who have already committed offences, waiting to go home. You can blame | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Brussels for a lot but you cannot blame Brussels for this. This is | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
about the UK Government, and I guess it is all parties, and they are | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
saying, we can deport you but we haven't got round to it yet. That is | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
not Europe's fault. Exactly. We are not going to agree again?! These | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
people are sewn dangerous, surely you don't release them from prison | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
until you are ready to deport them. You release these people unlicensed | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
because you think they are no longer dangerous, you call them back if you | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
think they have breached the terms of their licence. If you think they | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
shouldn't be in Britain you should hold them until deportation. They | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
are dealing with 5789 living in the community. I was going to throw | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
water on you! The Times, page two, hospital delays leave thousands | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
waiting outside in ambulances. I am one of these people who say | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
obviously the NHS needs more money but can we have the money better | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
spent, more efficiently. I don't mean privatisation, I just mean, | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
everybody knows this, it is just no one will say it, a lot of the money | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
in the NHS is wasted. The system so often doesn't deliver, not that | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
there is not enough money because often it needs more money, not that | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
wit hasn't got good people, it has, the system isn't right. In this | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
article you have three different people from vested interests saying | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
the same thing, the reason this is happening is beds are full, beds are | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
full because too often we have linked up there with social care so | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
there is not enough in the community to get them out there, secondly we | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
have a bad system in the way we get them in, people wait, and thirdly | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
there isn't enough money. Those things together, I thought this | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
article was fair because you have people from vastly different areas | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
talking about this. Let's quote Norman Lamb the former Lib Dem came | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
minister, a very serious sky in this area, and says we are projected to | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
spend a reducing percentage of our national income on health, so even | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
though people like Digby complain about too much waste, we have to | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
spend money to get the system right, and every government that comes in | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
reconfigure the system. It takes four or five years to bedding and we | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
change it every time we have a new government, that is part of the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
problem. It is persistent, not the money. It is both, I know a bit | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
about this, it is both. I am questioning what I have just heard? | :12:27. | :12:38. | |
How much longer have I got? Three minutes. Crikey, we could have | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
carried on talking about something else. Not to worry. There is a link | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
between this and Brexit. Your people claim... Hold your breath! The | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
Brexit supporters say if we leave the European Union, that ?350 | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
million a week that we currently sent to the EU, a significant | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
proportion can be spent on improving the NHS. That is what their election | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
broadcast was about two nights ago. If you engaged brain before... Oh! | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
OK! On the Brexit bus they have this thing on the NHS and I think they | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
are wrong to do it. Hello! Just because a view conflicts with yours, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
why are you derogatory about it? Stop! Time out! We're going to move | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
on. I am going to move the song, Digby. Digby thinks he is | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
presenting! He's not the only one who comes on here and behaves in | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
this fashion, but he is always so smartly dressed. The Financial | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Times, the gender pay gap starts young as boys force a better deal on | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
pocket money, Henry. Who knew indeed, this 12% difference in the | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
current round, so boys receive an average of ?6.93 per week, versus | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
girls getting ?6 16 per week. As with use, so with adults, because we | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
know there is a pay gap between women and men, and apparently boys | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
are more abstract Brezovan girls... I find that difficult to believe. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
Can you imagine Digby asking his parents for more money? Does the | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
article suggests we should get girls to practice asking for more money | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
when they are little? It is a good point in that respect, | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
assertiveness, self-respect and self esteem are some of the biggest | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
barriers to improvement in the job market, and using education | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
properly, because people don't feel they can because they don't have | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
that... Or assertiveness. Assertiveness in women is | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
interpreted differently from that of men. What is important is if in the | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
domestic, trusted environment of pocket money, if you could get a | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
young woman to start thinking intensive, I am worth it, then | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
possibly in the job market in years to come that filters through to a | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
better and more balanced society. Or it might be that parents and | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
employers are sensitive enough to be issued having been on training to | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
spot this, and if they see a young woman not raising her hands... I | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
think I need to go home and reassess what pocket money everybody gets! I | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
lacked for your daughters. She will be very pleased! That's it for you | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
didn't -- for tonight. You can see a detailed review of the papers seven | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
days a week on our website. You can see us thereto with each night's | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
edition posted on the page shortly after each addition. Thank you, | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Henry and Digby, it's always good fun. Coming up next, it's the | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
weather. Once again on the weather front | :15:57. | :16:11. | |
today it was a case of all of nothing. You either had clear blue | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
skies and sunshine across many western areas | :16:17. | :16:17. |
