:01:00. > :01:04.refused operations by the NHS. The express runs a warning from the
:01:05. > :01:08.French interior minister as its lead story. It says he is going to
:01:09. > :01:12.bulldoze the migrant camp at Calais. The Guardian has a picture of the
:01:13. > :01:17.Bishop of Grantham saying he is the first Church of England bishop to
:01:18. > :01:20.come out as gay. The Times has a report by its war correspondent

:01:27. > :01:33.And watch out for the giant cannibal spiders in your homes, according to
:01:34. > :01:39.the daily Star. Lots of different choice. We will start with the
:01:40. > :01:45.Telegraph. And the story about the NHS denying operations to the ODs. I
:01:46. > :01:52.wouldn't say it is particularly new. -- obese. This features a
:01:53. > :01:56.constituency in North Yorkshire. Yes. They are talking about doing
:01:57. > :02:03.this because of money reasons. There are financial concerns. I think they
:02:04. > :02:09.will cause a lot of concern for the public. On the face of it, it is not
:02:10. > :02:14.so much denying but postponed. On the face of it there is a sensible
:02:15. > :02:17.health argument. People will be given a year if they are obese to
:02:18. > :02:20.try and lose weight, six months if they are a smoker to come off
:02:21. > :02:27.cigarettes, and then they will have to wait until there are operations.
:02:28. > :02:31.This has been going on in the NHS for a long time. This is one health
:02:32. > :02:35.authority in one part of the country. There is probably a decent
:02:36. > :02:41.clinical reason for doing it. But if you need a hip replacement, they are
:02:42. > :02:45.much more likely to be successful in the long term if people are not
:02:46. > :02:51.obese. It seems to be a realisation by the Health Authority in North
:02:52. > :02:55.Yorkshire that if you say to people, well, if you have a BMI rating of
:02:56. > :03:01.over 30 you probably ought to lose some weight. If you don't, you will
:03:02. > :03:04.have to wait. This has been dressed up as an NHS crisis, more about
:03:05. > :03:13.rationing, but I think this has been going on for a while. What was your
:03:14. > :03:19.however? This is what people have worried about for years. It is the
:03:20. > :03:22.slippery slope. The fear is that if money problems means we will focus
:03:23. > :03:27.on who we will not give operations to, then big money problems mean
:03:28. > :03:34.fewer operations to wider groups of people. If you are obese, actually,
:03:35. > :03:37.not having a hip or knee operation is probably unlikely to make you
:03:38. > :03:42.lose any weight. Not least because you will be struggling to walk
:03:43. > :03:47.around. Surely the basic point is that you eat less you lose weight.
:03:48. > :03:54.As much as it is about mobility. There is a certain point. The NHS
:03:55. > :03:58.has always rationed. There was this public perception that was put about
:03:59. > :04:02.by politicians that the NHS is there for everyone. If you have a problem
:04:03. > :04:06.it will be there for you. But in different ways the NHS has always
:04:07. > :04:10.carried out a degree of rationing. Financial pressures are making it
:04:11. > :04:15.more acute than in the past, but I'm not sure it is a huge change. To be
:04:16. > :04:20.clear, it says the ban will not apply to cancer patients or those
:04:21. > :04:22.with some conditions which could become life threatening, or if
:04:23. > :04:30.exceptional circumstances can be shown. It does say that the
:04:31. > :04:34.restrictions echo others in Hertfordshire, North West and London
:04:35. > :04:38.in the past two years. On this particular thing, particularly about
:04:39. > :04:41.money. Also, they have to be careful that they are not just postponing
:04:42. > :04:45.further problems further down the line. If you don't treat people they
:04:46. > :04:50.can start to develop other health problems which are linked. They can
:04:51. > :04:53.turn out to be much more expensive than the NHS finally gets around to
:04:54. > :04:57.getting the money together to treat them. And the big fear is the start
:04:58. > :05:02.of the slippery slope, what the critics would say. A lot of people
:05:03. > :05:06.out there are smokers, they've always worried this would be coming
:05:07. > :05:10.you know, something that would start happening on a grand scale. I think
:05:11. > :05:15.they will be worried about this story. The Times, this is quite a
:05:16. > :05:21.complicated story, but it shows the murkiness of the sides, the blurred
:05:22. > :05:28.lines of the sides of the war in Syria. On one level this is a
:05:29. > :05:34.personal story about what happened to him and what happened to the man
:05:35. > :05:44.who shot him when he was snapped in Syria. That was in 2014. -- when he
:05:45. > :05:47.was kidnapped. This has much wider implications for us in the West
:05:48. > :05:54.choosing sides in that conflict in Syria. Anthony's piece is saying in
:05:55. > :05:58.a nutshell that the man that shot him twice in the leg when he was
:05:59. > :06:05.kidnapped in Syria has now appeared in a video as part of a CIA backed
:06:06. > :06:09.militia group in Syria. He is talking about the man he knew and
:06:10. > :06:13.what happened to him and the betrayal in that sense. He is
:06:14. > :06:18.talking about what Betty went on by the CIA when this guy came over from
:06:19. > :06:26.Turkey, it appears, quite recently. -- vetting. What did the USA do when
:06:27. > :06:29.they said you are against the Assad regime, we will supply you with
:06:30. > :06:36.weapons, we will provide everything you need. Questions of who are you
:06:37. > :06:42.supporting, what was he then, what is he now, and it is an interesting
:06:43. > :06:46.and important piece. The irony is that Anthony Loyd was denounced as
:06:47. > :06:52.being a CIA spy. And it appears this man is now working with the CIA. It
:06:53. > :06:55.also appears to be an opportunist. He kidnapped Anthony Loyd because he
:06:56. > :07:04.thought he could ransom him and make money from it. Now he appears to be
:07:05. > :07:12.working, masquerading as a rebel. It does ask very serious questions. And
:07:13. > :07:16.when kidnaps happen, it can go to the highest bidder, and sometimes
:07:17. > :07:21.the highest bidder could be Isis. The independent, the future of
:07:22. > :07:25.Hinkley Point nuclear-power station comes up in a couple of pages. It
:07:26. > :07:31.makes the front page of the Independent and the Telegraph. The
:07:32. > :07:37.angle on the independent is the headline that Theresa May has flown
:07:38. > :07:41.out to China for the first major summit. It is in China. And they're
:07:42. > :07:45.likely to be some awkward questions asked about Theresa May and the
:07:46. > :07:51.future of Hinkley Point project which is being financed largely by
:07:52. > :07:55.the Chinese. Theresa May will come face-to-face with the Chinese
:07:56. > :08:00.premier, we think. That will be an awkward meeting entirely. The
:08:01. > :08:06.Chinese were flabbergasted and not a little angry a couple of weeks ago.
:08:07. > :08:12.It put a pause of this multi-billion pound nuclear-power plant. They have
:08:13. > :08:17.issued a series of threats about the UK Government and what it thinks it
:08:18. > :08:26.is doing over this. There is going to be a tense weekend entirely for
:08:27. > :08:29.Theresa May. The angle on the Daily Telegraph is different, suggesting
:08:30. > :08:33.Theresa May is a long way off from making a decision and will not be
:08:34. > :08:37.pressured into it. She always had this impression of taking a long
:08:38. > :08:41.time to make decisions. The interesting thing is how she adapts
:08:42. > :08:44.in Downing Street when they are pressured to do things within a
:08:45. > :08:48.short timescale. Much greater than they perhaps were in the Home
:08:49. > :08:53.Office. She appears to be sticking to the way in which she behaved
:08:54. > :08:57.before which was, I will take my time over it. This could be a case
:08:58. > :09:01.in point. This is her first foreign summit. It is in China. An
:09:02. > :09:06.international meeting of the G20. She has got a meeting with the
:09:07. > :09:10.Chinese premier. The Chinese have made their concern and frankly
:09:11. > :09:16.displeasure already clear. If she is intending to give the go-ahead to
:09:17. > :09:20.Hinkley in the end, not doing it at this meeting is stupid. Because the
:09:21. > :09:25.Chinese know how to humiliate someone. I think it will be
:09:26. > :09:30.difficult for her. The decision about Hinkley Point is difficult for
:09:31. > :09:33.Theresa May. The reality is, if she doesn't go ahead with Hinkley Point
:09:34. > :09:38.she has to fill the gap to keep the lights on. Hinkley Point is actually
:09:39. > :09:42.quite advanced. How you will do that and keep within your carbon target
:09:43. > :09:47.will be difficult. If you do decide to go ahead, why hang around, why
:09:48. > :09:49.cause yourself the extra diplomatic headache by going to China and
:09:50. > :10:01.saying I haven't made up my mind yet. You should probably get on with
:10:02. > :10:07.it. We will have to see another diplomatic nightmare. Barack Obama
:10:08. > :10:13.said that the UK would be the back of the queue after the Brexit vote.
:10:14. > :10:16.That will be a difficult one. She will have to have different stances
:10:17. > :10:24.to the Chinese as to the Americans. Fly on the wall. She needs trade
:10:25. > :10:29.deals from all of them. The meeting scheduled at the end of the G20, the
:10:30. > :10:33.British press pack will be interested in that and they will be
:10:34. > :10:36.shepherded onto the plane within minutes of the meeting ending. It
:10:37. > :10:43.has been carefully choreographed to avoid trouble. A story of a
:10:44. > :10:46.different kind in the Guardian. The first Church of England bishop has
:10:47. > :10:51.come out as being gay. This is Nicholas Chamberlain, the Bishop of
:10:52. > :10:56.Grantham. This raises all sorts of questions. It is said that
:10:57. > :11:02.Archbishop Welby has been told and he has said he is in a long-term and
:11:03. > :11:08.committed relationship. He is fine about it. He doesn't feel misled
:11:09. > :11:14.about it. Interesting story. Yes. The other interesting bit to it is
:11:15. > :11:17.that this doesn't look entirely voluntary. It appears the Sunday
:11:18. > :11:22.newspaper got hold of the story and was going to run it this weekend. As
:11:23. > :11:26.a consequence of it, Bishop Chamberlain has come out in advance
:11:27. > :11:30.and said, I'm gay, I'm in a relationship, it is a celibate
:11:31. > :11:34.relationship, therefore it doesn't break any of the Church of England
:11:35. > :11:40.rules. I was going to say, that's the crucial bit, isn't it? It is.
:11:41. > :11:44.One thinks back to a few years ago and Jeffrey Johns who was also
:11:45. > :11:48.openly gay, and there was a huge row about whether or not he could be
:11:49. > :11:53.made a bishop. In the end he went to St Albans, which was gay, sort of,
:11:54. > :12:06.post which was high in the church but it wasn't specifically Bishop.
:12:07. > :12:11.The ramifications will be big. What do you make of it? It's really
:12:12. > :12:17.interesting, both the grown-up attitude that there is within the
:12:18. > :12:21.church hierarchy, and also their childish attitude. It seems to be a
:12:22. > :12:29.case of do ask don't tell, but don't tell the public you do. It puts them
:12:30. > :12:34.in a very difficult position if you are just Welby. A couple of weeks
:12:35. > :12:42.ago he talks about his horror of how the Church of England treats
:12:43. > :12:45.lesbians and gay men. -- if you are Welby. Yet there is this agreement
:12:46. > :12:49.at the top of the church hierarchy that in order to keep everything
:12:50. > :12:53.together, to keep the show on the road, that they have to tie
:12:54. > :12:56.themselves up in these knots. I'm not terribly sure that is what
:12:57. > :13:01.people want in their church leaders. What I think they want is some
:13:02. > :13:06.leadership. Let's see what the ramifications of that. Onto the
:13:07. > :13:09.Daily Mail. It looks like the beads have had it. These plastic beads
:13:10. > :13:13.which are supposed to be in everything from toothpaste to shower
:13:14. > :13:18.gels, etc, which have been choking the planet. It looks like the
:13:19. > :13:27.campaign has succeeded. This is a huge victory. They have been
:13:28. > :13:32.campaigning. It was a quick victory. I'm looking at the headlines, they
:13:33. > :13:35.appear to have started this on the 25th of August, and tomorrow is the
:13:36. > :13:38.3rd of September, pretty much one week. One wonders if they knew they
:13:39. > :13:44.would win this campaign before they set it off. You are in a cynical
:13:45. > :13:48.mood. Or is this the kind of thing that happens with new governments,
:13:49. > :13:53.keen to keep the press happy. This has captured people's imagination.
:13:54. > :13:58.It has. It has been an issue for quite a while. There is not much
:13:59. > :14:02.doubt that these things should be banned. Most of the major
:14:03. > :14:05.manufacturers were getting to the stage where they were phasing it out
:14:06. > :14:11.anyway. I think the government is saying that they will ban it by the
:14:12. > :14:15.end of next year. I think almost all major manufacturers are saying that
:14:16. > :14:19.they were not going to be producing this stuff anyway. Not hugely
:14:20. > :14:25.problematic. An easy campaign to win. Not too many dilemmas involved
:14:26. > :14:32.in it. It is a product whose time has probably come. And when it they
:14:33. > :14:37.have. The FT weekend, the last one, animal farm is low ill wind as study
:14:38. > :14:43.takes shine off healthy country life. Who would like to explain
:14:44. > :14:47.this? I love this story. It is fabulous. Well done to the FT for
:14:48. > :14:53.putting it on their FrontPage. It would not work half as well if it
:14:54. > :15:00.was on the front page on a Monday or Tuesday. -- front page. People will
:15:01. > :15:06.splatter over their cornflakes as they make their way to their country
:15:07. > :15:10.homes for the weekend. To realise it was all for nothing. And to realise
:15:11. > :15:15.that the country air is polluting their lungs just as much as it was
:15:16. > :15:19.in the towns and cities. And we are looking at the animal waste, which
:15:20. > :15:23.is the pollutant, and ammonia in it. Yes, that's the problem. If you
:15:24. > :15:29.think it is great that you living next door to lovely farm animals --
:15:30. > :15:33.you are living next door to lovely farm animals, perhaps it would be
:15:34. > :15:38.better to be more isolated and on an island. The animal farms are indeed
:15:39. > :15:44.causing the problems. Does this spell an end to your country pile? I
:15:45. > :15:51.wish I had one. I don't know. It is a counterintuitive story. You think
:15:52. > :16:00.all of the fresh air Darcey wonders. It is kind of interesting. -- does
:16:01. > :16:06.your lungs wonders. There has always been this focus on pollutant in the
:16:07. > :16:13.cities. Carbon dioxide in the air, but it is a broad and rounder
:16:14. > :16:17.question we need to be looking at. Always thinking that it is an urban
:16:18. > :16:27.problem. People living within one kilometre of 15 farms would be 1%
:16:28. > :16:43.worse. Gorgeous detail. The fact that if you see hay some -- the fact
:16:44. > :16:46.that if you see some haze drifting in the distance, you might just
:16:47. > :16:54.think it is the lovely warmth, but that is the pollutant. You are in
:16:55. > :17:05.fine mood this evening. All of the Papers are online. Also, you can see
:17:06. > :17:10.us there with each night's addition being posted on the page shortly
:17:11. > :17:21.after we finish. Thanks to Kate and Oliver. Goodbyes. -- goodbye.
:17:22. > :17:29.Good evening. We will start with a quick look at the latest satellite
:17:30. > :17:33.sequence. It started pretty cloudy across England and Wales. Some rain
:17:34. > :17:34.to go with it. But it has been moving
