:00:18. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:21. > :00:30.With me is our very own synchro team.
:00:31. > :00:32.Journalist Lucy Cavendish and Tom Bergin business
:00:33. > :00:35.The Daily Telegraph leads on claims from a prominent
:00:36. > :00:37.surgeon that rationing in the National Health Service
:00:38. > :00:41.will lead to "crippling pain", as waiting times
:00:42. > :00:43.will lead to "crippling pain", as waiting times extend for years.
:00:44. > :00:47.The Metro has the story of a fatal high speed crash involving a vehicle
:00:48. > :00:49.being pursued by police, after a drone was allegedly flown
:00:50. > :00:52.The Financial Times reports that Turkey's President Erdogan has
:00:53. > :00:55.agreed to restore what he called the "axis of friendship"
:00:56. > :00:58.with Russia after a meeting with President Putin in Moscow.
:00:59. > :01:01.The FT notes this comes just eight months after Turkey shot down
:01:02. > :01:06.a Russian fighter plane over northern Syria.
:01:07. > :01:08.The Guardian quotes the Labour deputy leader Tom Watson,
:01:09. > :01:09.alleging that Trotskyist infiltration is putting
:01:10. > :01:15.The Times quotes a leaked army report which says the Russian
:01:16. > :01:30.military has the edge over the UK in battle.
:01:31. > :01:37.We start with the Telegraph and the Olympics. I've been glued to this,
:01:38. > :01:41.we're going to enter next time as a synchro team. I need a bigger pair
:01:42. > :01:46.of shorts but as soon as it's available. I am glued to it and
:01:47. > :01:50.there is something to me about it, seeing people compete at such a high
:01:51. > :01:58.level having trained so hard, boss of them are young. Today one of our
:01:59. > :02:01.synchro girls, just 16, just so impressive and to see people do that
:02:02. > :02:05.and the amount of effort is something about it being Brazil, the
:02:06. > :02:13.Brazilians who the people they don't like and cheer the Brazilians. They
:02:14. > :02:18.do things, the wrong sort of things in the tennis, clap at the wrong
:02:19. > :02:21.time but it's got serious with this complaint about the Russians. The
:02:22. > :02:26.female silver medallist who got a reprieve to come at the 11th hour
:02:27. > :02:32.who is a form, let's be clear, a former drugs cheat, has been booed
:02:33. > :02:35.when she picked up her medal and the American girl that won it wagged her
:02:36. > :02:38.finger and there is a feeling, which I understand, because it puts up my
:02:39. > :02:41.heckles a bit, that there is something a bit fishy about this
:02:42. > :02:47.because of what has happened over the drugs. She has spoken out and
:02:48. > :02:51.said this is a Cold War and they shouldn't be in the Olympics and the
:02:52. > :02:55.Olympics should be somewhere where it is put to one side but is
:02:56. > :03:00.difficult to put it to one side when you know what has happened. She got
:03:01. > :03:06.the silver medal in the 100m breaststroke, Tom. And in her
:03:07. > :03:12.semifinal she won her semifinal and a wagged her finger to save I'm
:03:13. > :03:15.number one. The American who came in another semifinal won her semifinal
:03:16. > :03:25.and said I'm number one and then you have the final and who won? The
:03:26. > :03:33.United States. Lilly King has been very outspoken, in her early 20s,
:03:34. > :03:39.she said cheats should not be allowed to compete and she was
:03:40. > :03:44.saying this as Yulia Efimova was at the other end of the conference
:03:45. > :03:49.table. One is hoping that as the games continue the whole thing about
:03:50. > :03:58.drugs starts to recede, maybe, possibly.
:03:59. > :04:05.The one way you can do that is to have zero tolerance. She is a former
:04:06. > :04:08.drugs cheat. Twice. I'm not sure if I went around making stories up and
:04:09. > :04:14.a year later I would be a former fabricator. The point is at the end
:04:15. > :04:19.of the day cheating in sports is about the worst thing you can do. I
:04:20. > :04:22.don't know many professions where the West possible act is committed
:04:23. > :04:26.and you are allowed back. It doesn't happen in law and lots of other
:04:27. > :04:32.professions which have a lower profile than sports. I don't know
:04:33. > :04:38.about the cases and the specific issue here, but at the end of the
:04:39. > :04:41.day it is unusual in today's world with transparency and openness, the
:04:42. > :04:44.expectations are higher. It doesn't seem to be in sport that the
:04:45. > :04:50.governing bodies seem to be following that trend. There is so
:04:51. > :04:52.much riding on those athletes and swimmers, and whomever are
:04:53. > :04:59.competing, who have been deemed to be incredibly clean. So Lilly King
:05:00. > :05:03.winning was seen as a big deal. Usain Bolt, another example, we had
:05:04. > :05:12.this in 2012 who beat Justin Gatlin who had been done twice for doping.
:05:13. > :05:17.The credibility of the export sat on the shoulders of Lilly King and
:05:18. > :05:20.Usain Bolt, which is a lot to carry. It is quite complicated because a
:05:21. > :05:25.lot of people will say the rules around it keep changing. There is
:05:26. > :05:29.lots of this, I didn't know it was banned, my flu remedy, slightly
:05:30. > :05:35.different to what happened with the Russian athletes. That is a
:05:36. > :05:38.completely different story. It is quite a complicated story. There
:05:39. > :05:41.were allegations around Mo Farah because of what happened. It is
:05:42. > :05:45.something that doesn't really go away and I don't think it's going to
:05:46. > :05:48.go away. But I agree with you, it is supposed to be clean, people are
:05:49. > :05:52.supposed to get there and do their best, that is the point. And if you
:05:53. > :05:53.have done something else to enhance your performance, of course it
:05:54. > :06:11.doesn't feel in anyway fair hence the billing. And
:06:12. > :06:13.what is the point of watching? You might just have an Olympics for
:06:14. > :06:16.steroids. Lots of people aren't watching it of that. It was always
:06:17. > :06:20.the ethos that made it attractive as a non-sportsperson. NHS rationing
:06:21. > :06:24.will cripple patients. The NHS faces cash problems, it's an old story. It
:06:25. > :06:27.has been that way for some time and now this leading doctor is saying it
:06:28. > :06:30.is getting worse and getting to the point where really hard decisions
:06:31. > :06:37.have to be made. We cannot provide the level of cover price to people.
:06:38. > :06:41.It opens up the question again, can we ration care. There has been some
:06:42. > :06:45.attempt to do this. Drugs agencies monitor whether a drug is value for
:06:46. > :06:49.money and whether we should use it. Some are becoming incredibly
:06:50. > :06:52.expensive, those drugs. The question is, can we actually do this? There
:06:53. > :06:57.is only so much efficiency you can squeeze out of it and we don't have
:06:58. > :07:02.the money, usually we rely on economic growth for more money. This
:07:03. > :07:07.is a moot point isn't it? We are getting ?350 million back from the
:07:08. > :07:10.EU. What is the problem? And my friend's mother who has crippling
:07:11. > :07:15.arthritis in her neck and can get treated because she's 84. How many
:07:16. > :07:17.people know somebody in their 80s who isn't getting treated because
:07:18. > :07:21.it's an ageing population and the older you get you are put on a back
:07:22. > :07:30.burner. Basically, you are only going one way at the age of 84. And
:07:31. > :07:33.then crippling pain and can't even get an appointment at the GP. There
:07:34. > :07:40.is a slight problem. Most people believe, and over generations we
:07:41. > :07:43.have believed if I'm in pain and anger I will go to my doctor and be
:07:44. > :07:46.cured and fixed. What we are really saying is, actually you will not be
:07:47. > :07:51.fixed because maybe it is your cataracts or you are a bit too old,
:07:52. > :07:55.or it is not particularly urgent. As they say here lots of people with
:07:56. > :07:58.elements which turn out to be something else, like cancer that no
:07:59. > :08:02.one has noticed, so if you have someone on a waiting list for three
:08:03. > :08:06.years it is too long. It could be curtains.
:08:07. > :08:08.Onto the Financial Times, the Bank of England runs into trouble on the
:08:09. > :08:16.second day of post-Brexit bond buying. OK. Tinbergen, business
:08:17. > :08:20.correspondent for Reuters. Explain the problem we're having here with
:08:21. > :08:26.this element of monetary policy for the Bank of England. -- Tom Bergin.
:08:27. > :08:31.This is a bizarre situation, the Bank of England basically cannot
:08:32. > :08:37.give away money. I'm laughing. Why am I laughing? It suggests we are in
:08:38. > :08:40.trouble. The Bank of England sees the economy is in a weak position,
:08:41. > :08:44.especially so after the Brexit vote. They are trying to inject money into
:08:45. > :08:47.the economy to create demand in the economy so they have gone out,
:08:48. > :08:52.printed money for themselves and now going out to buy bonds to inject it
:08:53. > :08:55.into the economy. The problem is the pension funds who hold these bonds
:08:56. > :08:59.will not sell them to them, they need the bombs to meet long-term
:09:00. > :09:03.liabilities so we are in this strange situation where today the
:09:04. > :09:09.Bank of England had an excess of ?50 billion it couldn't get rid of in
:09:10. > :09:12.terms of buying bonds. We were discussing it earlier. The question
:09:13. > :09:14.of, are we going to get the situation where central bankers have
:09:15. > :09:18.to consider some of the strangest ideas they have ever looked at in
:09:19. > :09:24.the past? People have discussed helicopter money, throwing money out
:09:25. > :09:27.of helicopters. Giving away ?1000. I'm not sure we will get there yet
:09:28. > :09:33.but who knows? People would stick it under the bed and not spend it which
:09:34. > :09:37.is the point. I would just spend it. Seriously, though, are we talking
:09:38. > :09:40.about the monetary policy of the Bank of England running into the
:09:41. > :09:44.buffers? They cannot give money away, they have interest rates down
:09:45. > :09:48.to close to zero, probably the next step. It will have to be the
:09:49. > :09:52.Government intervening in some way with capital investment, I don't
:09:53. > :09:56.know... Whatever else they feel they can do. You have hit it on the head.
:09:57. > :10:08.The reality is that this shows some of the obvious ideas, and this was a
:10:09. > :10:09.new enough idea but more recently. Whether fiscal, the IMF has talked
:10:10. > :10:13.more about infrastructure investment, so who knows? Who knows?
:10:14. > :10:18.That's the end of that one. Let's talk about old trots. Trotskyist
:10:19. > :10:26.infiltration putting Labour at risk. I'm fascinated about this, coming
:10:27. > :10:31.from a core Bennite. -- called on supporters. Somebody asked me if I
:10:32. > :10:36.knew what they Trotskyist was anymore which is a valid point. My
:10:37. > :10:41.kids have known what Trotskyism is because they have read Animal Farm.
:10:42. > :10:46.It's interesting because what Watson is saying, and I shouldn't laugh,
:10:47. > :10:49.but it has been infiltrated by trots. I'm thinking, what does that
:10:50. > :10:53.mean, how many of them are there, and what is going on here? But his
:10:54. > :10:57.point is, because of this whole situation lots of people have joined
:10:58. > :11:00.the Labour Party to become social revolutionaries and that is what
:11:01. > :11:07.will happen, like Trotsky ended up dead and everything else. We all end
:11:08. > :11:11.up dead. Ended up murdered! It is not about being elected. And I kind
:11:12. > :11:15.of thing, why does anyone think that's a good idea? I'm Labour Party
:11:16. > :11:21.supporter. Why would you infiltrate a party to make sure it doesn't
:11:22. > :11:29.become elected and start social revolution only about the handful of
:11:30. > :11:34.Trotskyites are interested in. That is an interesting question. Why Tom
:11:35. > :11:38.is saying this now I'm not sure. First of all he was elected by a lot
:11:39. > :11:41.of those members who support Jeremy Corbyn so that is why it is
:11:42. > :11:45.surprising he is saying this. He says it is a small nub of
:11:46. > :11:48.Trotskyists out of the party for years sidelined by the Blairite
:11:49. > :11:51.revolution and they are now coming back and what they are doing is
:11:52. > :11:56.convincing lots of young people that the hard left is the way forward. In
:11:57. > :11:59.one sense we are seeing an increasingly polarised world. We are
:12:00. > :12:05.seeing voters moving far to the left and right in many jurisdictions. But
:12:06. > :12:10.it is interesting. We will not be effective opposition and not be in
:12:11. > :12:20.government. The reality is since the election the Conservative Party has
:12:21. > :12:24.been more effective opposition, when policies were seen as far too
:12:25. > :12:27.right-wing conservative members were arguing against that. It is an
:12:28. > :12:34.interesting situation which seems to be leaving the Labour Party not
:12:35. > :12:39.setting the agenda in politics. Off the agenda, way off the agenda. It
:12:40. > :12:41.could also be about creating social movement that brings about change
:12:42. > :12:47.within structures across the country rather than Westminster. That would
:12:48. > :12:55.be lovely. But that is just what they might say. That is just what
:12:56. > :12:59.they say. You hit the nail on the head, Tom! If they were actually
:13:00. > :13:03.articulate! Thank you for that, you will be back in half an hour. We
:13:04. > :13:14.will look at more stories behind the headlines. Stay with us, because all
:13:15. > :13:20.of the headlines Dunne papers are online and I will be back with the
:13:21. > :13:24.headlines at the top of the hour. Thanks to you two, see you in a bit.
