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