:00:13. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:16. > :00:19.With me are the broadcaster Dame Joan Bakewell and Liam Halligan,

:00:20. > :00:21.Economics Commentator at the Daily Telegraph.

:00:22. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:29. > :00:31.The Metro leads with the prime minister, Theresa May,

:00:32. > :00:32.telling doctors they've never had it so good.

:00:33. > :00:35.She says the NHS is better funded than ever before.

:00:36. > :00:38.The Guardian says senior doctors have condemned the plan for strike

:00:39. > :00:43.They say patient care must be the priority.

:00:44. > :00:50.It says doctors are now at war over the strike plan.

:00:51. > :00:52.The Daily Mail says only one in three junior doctors

:00:53. > :01:13.The Times says military charities are exact rating PTSD effects on

:01:14. > :01:15.veterans to collect more money. -- exaggerating.

:01:16. > :01:19.following the vote to leave the European Union.

:01:20. > :01:21.The Financial Times says London's lead in the foreign currency trading

:01:22. > :01:25.business is being eroded by the rise of the Chinese renminbi, which is

:01:26. > :01:28.The Daily Mirror leads on a ?2 million blackmail plotter,

:01:29. > :01:31.who's been jailed for seven years after threatening to lace

:01:32. > :01:45.We will look at a few of those in the next ten minutes. Let's look at

:01:46. > :01:50.the front of the Metro. What I have to admire about the Prime Minister

:01:51. > :01:57.is how absolute she is. She has a firm smack of government. Doctors

:01:58. > :02:02.have never had it so good, echoing Harold Macmillan's phrase that won

:02:03. > :02:07.him an election. She will not stand for any nonsense, quite refreshing

:02:08. > :02:13.in turbulent times. I think it gets credit with the public. It reflects

:02:14. > :02:18.the story getting more complicated overnight because the colleges have

:02:19. > :02:23.come out against the junior doctors. Within the medical profession we now

:02:24. > :02:31.have a huge row and it appears that if you examine the statistics and

:02:32. > :02:40.compare them, the vote for strike action was in a turbulent meeting

:02:41. > :02:43.which the majority was 16-12, and people were leaking all over the

:02:44. > :02:48.place, saying the meeting was not unanimous and it was quite turbulent

:02:49. > :02:55.and the medical profession is busy saying it will not do. It is

:02:56. > :03:02.suggesting that Theresa May has left Jeremy Hunt in post. There was a

:03:03. > :03:09.doubt about that for about one hour on that day. She has told him it is

:03:10. > :03:12.his bike, knowing he will get the blame for what goes wrong and she

:03:13. > :03:17.may well get the credit for seeing it sorted out. It is an interesting

:03:18. > :03:23.story and I think it will not last long, there will be a resolution.

:03:24. > :03:30.There has to be because the first five-day strike is slated for less

:03:31. > :03:33.than a couple of weeks away. The BMA have pencilled in a series of

:03:34. > :03:42.five-day strikes which will affect an estimated 1 million appointments

:03:43. > :03:46.and up to 125,000 operations. There is a split not only within the

:03:47. > :03:52.medical profession between the senior and junior doctors but within

:03:53. > :03:56.the BMA itself. I would think the public would also be compromised.

:03:57. > :04:00.They want doctors and nurses to be properly funded but they also want a

:04:01. > :04:06.weekend NHS and they also don't want doctors to strike. A difficult

:04:07. > :04:11.political hot potato which Theresa May has taken the bull by the horns

:04:12. > :04:16.and said there is no way you're going to get a cigarette paper

:04:17. > :04:20.between me and my Health Secretary. Medicine and the health service has

:04:21. > :04:25.never been able to solve so many people's problems. Medical advances

:04:26. > :04:31.are moving ahead all the time, we hear of new cures and drugs and

:04:32. > :04:37.trials every week. We all benefit and we live longer and healthier.

:04:38. > :04:42.The health service needs more money than ever because it is able to put

:04:43. > :04:45.right so many things. It needs more money and at the moment the NHS is

:04:46. > :04:52.one of the cheapest ways of funding national health in the world. Let's

:04:53. > :04:57.look at The Guardian's FrontPage. It reflects what you said about the

:04:58. > :05:05.split between senior and junior doctors. This is big politics when

:05:06. > :05:10.you have the doctors themselves split not only between juniors and

:05:11. > :05:15.seniors but within the BMA. Talking about the NHS being value for money,

:05:16. > :05:19.it will if we take the cartoonist's advice on the front of The Telegraph

:05:20. > :05:27.where he has a wonderful picture of a patient in bed covered in leeches.

:05:28. > :05:30.We have started using them again. They don't make you better but at

:05:31. > :05:38.least they're happy to work at weekends. He is quite brilliant and

:05:39. > :05:43.always on the front page. Lots of financial talk on the front of The

:05:44. > :05:53.Financial Times. I mentioned the Chinese currency and there is a less

:05:54. > :05:57.positive financial story at the top of the page but up more positive one

:05:58. > :06:04.lower down. Interesting juxtaposition of stories. Ahead of

:06:05. > :06:11.the G20 in China, the top 20 countries, including many emerging

:06:12. > :06:19.market economies, not the G-7, which is this weekend. The FT is flagging

:06:20. > :06:30.a report from the bank of International settlements looking at

:06:31. > :06:36.London's domination of the forex. In 2013 it was 41% control but it has

:06:37. > :06:47.gone down sharply. New York is second with 19%. All of our laws has

:06:48. > :06:51.been a sharp's gain -- Asia. It is an interesting state of the world

:06:52. > :06:57.story and then the FT has put on the front page, surprising some people

:06:58. > :07:05.because it was very pro-remain macro, then use that -- the news

:07:06. > :07:14.that manufacturing is that a ten month high, the FTSE 100 has

:07:15. > :07:20.recovered, since Brexit. It is ingesting because we do not have

:07:21. > :07:28.Brexit yet, it is post-referendum. Post a Brexit is three years down

:07:29. > :07:31.the line. And counting. It was shock after the referendum and everyone

:07:32. > :07:38.felt it would all go immediately wrong but that is very short term.

:07:39. > :07:45.It didn't go instantly wrong, it isn't come to be fruitful or not in

:07:46. > :07:51.the end. The idea that we are post Brexit, it hasn't even begun to be

:07:52. > :07:57.sorted out. Future historians will judge whether it was good for the

:07:58. > :08:01.British economy but that reality will not stop either side trying to

:08:02. > :08:08.make political hay with statistics every day. The financial market

:08:09. > :08:13.here, the top story about the currency is that it says one factor

:08:14. > :08:19.depressing the trading volumes was because the investigative

:08:20. > :08:23.authorities in Britain were taking a series of steps to stop improper

:08:24. > :08:31.trading and investigations resulted in a total of $10 billion in fines,

:08:32. > :08:37.so that would hit. London trades on the perception that it has high

:08:38. > :08:46.regulatory standards that many other emerging markets sometimes it does,

:08:47. > :08:54.sometimes it doesn't. In the case of currency exchange, London clearly

:08:55. > :09:03.does have higher standards than the emerging markets. This is a big

:09:04. > :09:21.increase, 41% to 27% to two point. Mac -- in the 2.5 years, it is a big

:09:22. > :09:34.shift. The Independent, one neuron, has the forgotten Alan Kurdi. -- one

:09:35. > :09:36.the year on this. Your heartbreaks. Everybody responds emotionally and

:09:37. > :09:49.the basic feeling is it is intolerable something must be done.

:09:50. > :09:56.The Guardian has the front page on the story as well. One year since he

:09:57. > :10:01.died, will little as changed. Then it lists things that did happen.

:10:02. > :10:04.Change comes slowly. You don't suddenly get the world saying we

:10:05. > :10:10.don't like this picture, peace breaks out. Two days after his

:10:11. > :10:18.death, Germany agreed to admit more refugees. A humanitarian corridor

:10:19. > :10:25.was created in Eastern Europe. Canada promised to resettle 20 5000.

:10:26. > :10:32.The UK promised to accept 4000, not many but better than none. Things

:10:33. > :10:37.happen but responses are small and they don't make headlines as

:10:38. > :10:41.startling is that image. The weather this summer has been slightly better

:10:42. > :10:48.in the Mediterranean, so more people have died looking for a better life

:10:49. > :10:55.in Europe already this summer and the migration season isn't over,

:10:56. > :11:06.than the whole of last summer. Buy to let landlords moving in on air B

:11:07. > :11:13.and B. We are both aficionados. It is a successful system, replacing

:11:14. > :11:22.hotels if we are not careful. You can find yourself in a looks are as

:11:23. > :11:27.flat -- luxurious. Property owners are doing this. If you are a

:11:28. > :11:34.landlord with a long-term let, you think you might make more money.

:11:35. > :11:55.George Osborne has put a cap on buy to let. The spirit of Ali Bongo

:11:56. > :12:02.three -- the spirit of Airbnb was that... Thank you both.

:12:03. > :12:05.Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website

:12:06. > :12:08.where you can read a detailed review of the papers.

:12:09. > :12:10.It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers,

:12:11. > :12:13.and you can see us there too, with each night's edition

:12:14. > :12:15.of The Papers being posted on the page shortly

:12:16. > :12:18.Thank you, Dame Joan Bakewell and Liam Halligan.

:12:19. > :12:44.We'll start with some breaking weather news that a hurricane has

:12:45. > :12:46.developed in the Gulf of Mexico and will make landfall in the north of
