20/08/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are political commentator Jo Phillips

and Nigel Nelson, political editor of the Sunday Mirror

Good evening to you both. Let's have a quick look through the front

pages. The Telegraph calls

the Rio Games Britain's greatest The paper's main story

is a crackdown on cosmetic surgeons who will be named and shamed

for poor practice. The Observer leads with a call

from the London Mayor to Labour Party members telling

them to back Owen Smith Sadiq Khan says Jeremy Corbyn has

been a disaster for the party. Nicola Adams's gold

medal win is pictured The paper reports on warnings

that Rio may be Team GB's last great games,

if economic problems force a cut The Mail on Sunday says Theresa May

has been dragged into a party scandal involving

allegations of bullying. Jo, let's start, a terrific Olympic

games altogether and this lady whose name will be bandied about a lot

now, Nicola Adams, didn't she do well? And wasn't that a lovely clip

we just heard? The whole thing for me has been this joy of people who

were not household names a few weeks ago but the real reward for all

their hard work, they have all been so brilliant, beaming brightly with

great pride. She shrieked and hot about! As you would. So here we are,

we got 65 in 2012, 29 gold medals and we are at the moment on 63, with

26 cold, another five or six we could win overnight. It is

extraordinary. The Sunday Telegraph, there we are, the US, Great Britain.

China has over a billion people and there is Britain doing as well as

they are. I didn't start these games with any great enthusiasm, it seemed

what could top London? So I felt I would tune in every so often but

suddenly it captured you and the fact that Team GB has done so

incredibly well, amazing to everybody, not least some of the

Team GB people who obviously weren't expecting this kind of result. It's

a bit awkward for newspaper people because of the timing. The timing is

hopeless. We're a bit behind but are a long way behind. But what we have

been doing, last Sunday we brought out a 3M addition on Sunday morning

of the Sunday Mirror, so we are trying to keep as much of the news

that is going on in the papers, there was a team staying up until

late last night to get it all in. Were you watching it all? Bits and

pieces but it felt like Rio, there were problems with the building and

the Zika virus, it almost appeared suddenly and this waterfall of

extraordinary... There was no build-up. It seemed to suddenly

happen. The Olympics will be in a couple of weeks, really? It's been

brilliant. We will talk more about the Olympics but stay with the

Sunday Telegraph for something different here. Cosmetic clinics, a

story that has been rattling around but now they will be named and

shamed for bot operations. And regulated, because it seems these

clinics do not have to be regulated but now the idea is the Care Quality

Commission will come in and give a star rating like a hotel, so if you

want cosmetic surgery you can choose a clinic which is outstanding, good,

requires improvement for inadequate. One assumes you would avoid

inadequate ones, but what is astonishing is this has not happened

before. Hospitals and standard medical treatment get it. I was

surprised, there was a survey from the British Association of aesthetic

plastic surgeons. I assume if you want something done privately like

breast augmentation, you look up an advert and go to a clinic to have it

done, but what surprised me in this article is that they mention laser

eye clinics where you would have thought you would have to go through

your doctor or ophthalmologists, you cannot just walk in and ask for

laser eye surgery. I had a cataract sorted out but never laser eye

surgery, but I would assume that was a process, it would have been if I

had surgery, that goes through a doctor and it would start with the

GP that you wouldn't just knock on the door and say, can you laser my

eye? You didn't get as far as surgery. I just had a lens replaced,

which is straightforward surgery. But how did you know the person you

were dealing with? I have health insurance, I was referred to a

consultant on their list, started off with a GP, I went through the

normal systems on the basis of that, it wasn't a matter of flicking

through a phone book and say that looks good, and it was at an eye

hospital, so I thought I was probably in fairly good hands. You

seem fine, but at the back of this the roster risk when it does go

wrong, and if it does it can be catastrophic, not just for facial

things but when it comes to size. There have been cases of people

going abroad for cosmetic, in the true sense of cosmetic, for breast

or bottom augmentation, where it has been very catastrophic and in some

cases there have been severe outcomes from it, and things like

liposuction, they all come under the heading of cosmetic surgery but if

you're going to spend thousands on doing this privately, you

wouldn't... All medical practices ought to be regulated, so the fact

these haven't been, Jeremy Hunt says it's high time this was done and I

wonder why prior Health Secretary 's have not done this. I suppose what

you're saying is that they assume people that it is OK. But if you see

one that has per on the front door you would not go in! Let's go back

to the games, and the Independent have Nicola Adams on their front

page, celebrating her victory, and also a story of Rio 2016, the last

great aims for Britain. We have had one quite good, one amazing and what

is this about? It's a bit incoherent because this is based on what

appears to be an interview with Tessa Jowell, who was the Olympics

Minister, and what she is quoted as saying is if in 2020 we are looking

back at the Team GB that has not performed at the level it did in Rio

for London, it will be fair to say Richard was one reason. That is the

big words there. You think all right, but basically George Osborne

in his last Autumn Statement in November pledged a 29% increase in

funding for sport, that has yet to be confirmed as that commitment

continuing under his successor, Philip Hammond. UK sport, the body

that users were to spend about ?450 million per four-year cycle, are

fearful but they haven't even got off the podium yet, let's not start

talking it down, let's look at this and see where it's going. But if

does go to the core of this, people save white or we suddenly doing so

well, hosts tend to do better but then you go to Rio and what a

surprise, we have done well, but funding has been crucial. At this .1

ought to give John Major a pat on the back, who started the process,

because without the lottery, a lot of athletes could not have got the

training they have and that is something that builds up over the

years so it is because of that we are now where we are, so I agree

with Jo, I am not sure where Tessa Jowell is going with this because I

would assume lottery funding will be unaffected by Brexit. If funding on

top of that does not go through there may be a problem, but were not

even finished these games, there is a long way before Tokyo and on the

basis of that lets see what happens next. It has been improved from this

that if you put money into an elite sports where you are most likely to

win Wessels, see what happens. You will get medals out. So there is a

sense of the poor relation but I have I idea for funding the next

Olympic Games, I think it's marvellous, if every premiership

footballer Steve a weeks worth of their wages every month and put it

in a park for the next four years, they wouldn't notice and we would

have enough funding to support it. It's an idea! We did hear it here

first. Let's go back to the gritty world, and your turn to start,

Nigel. The Observer, and that is Sadiq Khan, the London mayor, a

successful election he had, he tells Labour they have the wrong leader.

Which is interesting because Sadiq Khan has been trying hard not to say

who he will support in this leadership election, every time he

is asked he has dodged it, and he is now chosen the Observer to psych,

I'm an Owen Smith man, I endorse him, and he says Jeremy Corbyn is a

disaster, he cannot organise a team, 80% of his MPs would trust him and

he has to go. Curious that Sadiq Khan choose as this moment to do

this and not earlier in the week when he was asked the question. He

was interviewed by the BBC Two days ago. And he said he wouldn't answer

it. We always suspected that said the town would be an Owen Smith

occur, we know he was never keen on Jeremy Corbyn, during the London

election he did his best to keep Jeremy Corbyn at arm's length and

when he was elected to the job, there was that uncovered meeting

between the two of them, so this does not come as a surprise. What

Sarah -- what surprises me is the ferocity of the attack and the fact

he pins it on what Corbyn did or did not say about Brexit. He has come

out all guns blazing only two days after being pushed on the BBC on who

he was supporting and I suspect the reality of dregs of jitters, even

though the sky has not fallen on our heads yet, here is the Mayor of

London dealing with investment and uncertainty, especially in the

construction sector, and worries about London, he is thinking if only

Jeremy had stood up and I sense a real personal anger in this that he

didn't come out and he says just a couple of weeks before the Brexit

referendum, people didn't know where the Labour Party stood, and I think

this is almost support for Owen Smith but it also recognises that

Jeremy Corbyn is going to win and that's the other point. That makes

me wonder whether we could look ahead more, if we think Jeremy

Corbyn will win, the Tories do well, Labour will need a new leader.

Possibly Mr Khan. Am I being too cynical? If you work on his timing

that his first term will end with the next election, it will depend on

whether Mr Khan wants to go for his second term as London mayor.

You'll both be back at 11:30pm for another look at the stories
