:00:00. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look-ahead to what the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:22.With me are the political commentator Jo Phillips

:00:23. > :00:32.and the Sunday Mirror's political editor, Nigel Nelson.

:00:33. > :00:36.Let's have a look at some of the front pages before we discuss them

:00:37. > :00:39.in detail. The Observer leads with a warning

:00:40. > :00:42.about the health of the NHS - top bosses saying it's

:00:43. > :00:45.on the brink of collapse. Meanwhile, British

:00:46. > :00:46.traditions are under threat A government review will point

:00:47. > :00:50.the finger at growing ethnic Own your own home for ?900

:00:51. > :00:56.because of the Help to Buy scheme - that's the main headline

:00:57. > :00:58.on the Sunday Express. The Sunday Mirror continues

:00:59. > :01:00.its reports of claims Last week, Mr Vaz referred

:01:01. > :01:06.the allegations to his solicitors. Plans for new grammar schools

:01:07. > :01:09.are being drawn up by councils following yesterday's announcement

:01:10. > :01:11.by the Prime Minister - that's the front page

:01:12. > :01:13.of the Sunday Times. While the Independent

:01:14. > :01:16.dedicates its front page The ceasefire is due to come

:01:17. > :01:34.into effect on Monday. So, shall we start with the Sunday

:01:35. > :01:38.Times? The councils opening new grammar schools offering thousands

:01:39. > :01:51.of places. It is almost as if they saw it coming. These are five

:01:52. > :02:02.councils where there is already selective education. This is not

:02:03. > :02:09.surprising that some councils. This, I think, will prove to be a missed

:02:10. > :02:16.fort and miss timed move by Theresa May. She, like I, are grammar goals

:02:17. > :02:20.but there is a great danger that we look back at those of us who

:02:21. > :02:26.benefited many years ago with a nostalgia that is not appropriate

:02:27. > :02:31.for schools today. What is wrong with grammar schools? There is

:02:32. > :02:36.nothing wrong with them. It is how you get into them. Yes, the

:02:37. > :02:42.selection process. It is increasingly hard to get into them.

:02:43. > :02:46.All children should have access to good schools and good teachers, it

:02:47. > :02:50.should not depend on where you live and whether or not you can afford

:02:51. > :02:58.tutoring. It is about social mobility. Yes. And there has always

:02:59. > :03:03.been a divide between grammar school kids and the others. There was

:03:04. > :03:11.always the thing that the rich kids went to private schools and

:03:12. > :03:16.everybody else went to the second very model. Things have changed

:03:17. > :03:28.since then. It is not just the social scene, is it? Schools in the

:03:29. > :03:32.deprived areas do not always have good education. And there are people

:03:33. > :03:38.like me who go to pieces in the exam hall. I am not against the idea of

:03:39. > :03:41.grammar schools but what I am against is the fact that they have

:03:42. > :03:49.announced this without consideration. So Theresa May has

:03:50. > :03:54.come up with an idea that selection is not merely at 11, it can also be

:03:55. > :03:59.at 13 or 16, I do not think that is appropriate either. If there could

:04:00. > :04:02.in assessment process that was continual that would decide which

:04:03. > :04:07.schools would benefit from which children, that would be different.

:04:08. > :04:12.She needs a detailed plan about how this may work. At the moment it does

:04:13. > :04:16.not seem as if she could get it through the two houses, certainly

:04:17. > :04:23.the house of of Lords. Many comprehensive schools rise to the

:04:24. > :04:26.challenge, don't they? If there is a grammar school down the road, the

:04:27. > :04:32.comprehensive really goes for it. There is no reason it cannot work

:04:33. > :04:37.but we don't know how it will work. She has bounced into it, we feel,

:04:38. > :04:41.because there was a leak earlier in the week. I imagine what she planned

:04:42. > :04:46.to do was to use party conferencing in a couple of weeks time and then

:04:47. > :04:52.float the idea without having to go into too much detail. Suddenly now

:04:53. > :05:01.she needs to put flesh on this idea. Like you say, even as a modern high

:05:02. > :05:04.schools raise their grades, private schools expect a huge boost because

:05:05. > :05:11.if there will be more grammar schools, there will be a process of

:05:12. > :05:15.those who can afford it... It does not do anything for social mobility

:05:16. > :05:24.today. It may have done 20 or 30 years ago. I think or intention is

:05:25. > :05:28.very clear and she has launched a scathing attack on public schools

:05:29. > :05:51.which is another knife in the back to the old It -- eaten attendees.

:05:52. > :05:55.This has come from the NHS chiefs. Yes, it comes from providers and

:05:56. > :06:01.they speak for hospital trust and chief executives. It is a familiar

:06:02. > :06:06.litany now that they are running out of money and cannot meet targets

:06:07. > :06:12.without some major influx of cash in the Autumn statement. It does seem

:06:13. > :06:17.that we are getting to a point where we are going to have to start really

:06:18. > :06:20.thinking about radical solutions for the NHS because we really can't

:06:21. > :06:25.afford to keep it going. So either we will need to pay an awful lot

:06:26. > :06:30.more in tax for it, it is clear that the amount of money that is being

:06:31. > :06:35.put in is not enough so either through taxation or the idea of

:06:36. > :06:39.charging for certain services. I was interviewing a hospital on BBC radio

:06:40. > :06:47.the other week that had started crowd funding. Just to raise funds.

:06:48. > :06:51.It would not matter how much money you poured into the NHS because

:06:52. > :06:55.there will be demand, the demand is insatiable. In a way it goes back to

:06:56. > :07:01.the grammar school thing, if you tackle something, schools are not

:07:02. > :07:07.the big issue. The NHS is and always is as we approach winter. The

:07:08. > :07:12.expectations of people is that they will be seen by a doctor, referred

:07:13. > :07:15.to a specialist and will walk out of the doctor surgery with a

:07:16. > :07:19.prescription and if they want an ambulance they will get one. We

:07:20. > :07:24.actually have, somebody, somewhere, some politician has to be brave

:07:25. > :07:32.enough to tackle that. Tackle our perceptions? I think it is more our

:07:33. > :07:34.sentimentality about it. The problem about discussing it with

:07:35. > :07:39.politicians, they recognise that there are certain things that must

:07:40. > :07:41.be done we do not go out there and say it because the moment a

:07:42. > :07:45.politician says anything about the yen hate S, the community

:07:46. > :07:50.misconstrue sit as an attack and they are dead in the water. And

:07:51. > :07:55.there is something strange about the British character... We are in love

:07:56. > :08:01.with the NHS. We are quite protective of it. The idea that it

:08:02. > :08:14.cannot change be it cannot use what is a 1948 model for a 20th -- 21st

:08:15. > :08:24.century servers. Steady on, steady on. Serious crime set to join the

:08:25. > :08:30.list of other hate crimes. This is misogyny in England and Laos. This

:08:31. > :08:35.is Nottingham where they have been trialling using misogyny under the

:08:36. > :08:41.definition of a hate crime. They have been doing an experiment there,

:08:42. > :08:45.police in Notting ham, they have had 20 investigations in two mums,

:08:46. > :08:51.investigating a case of misogyny every three days. They have

:08:52. > :08:53.specially trained officers targeting behaviour from unwanted physical

:08:54. > :08:58.approaches through the street harassment, and other forces are now

:08:59. > :09:04.looking at this. What we do not know is whether the investigations have

:09:05. > :09:07.led to any prosecutions or whether somebody has been told to behave

:09:08. > :09:12.better or where it is actually going. There are two things here.

:09:13. > :09:16.Many people listening to this and thinking well, there are other

:09:17. > :09:25.things that the police could be dealing with. There are also people

:09:26. > :09:29.on the other side which is more nuanced, which is where women,

:09:30. > :09:34.affected by misogyny, they feel more able to go to the police and that

:09:35. > :09:40.they are complaints will be taken seriously. And now that the BBC is

:09:41. > :09:47.talking about it, they will know that possible. The problem is that

:09:48. > :09:52.it was initially successful in Notting ham and other forces are

:09:53. > :09:58.looking for it. But what is the criteria for success? Hate crimes

:09:59. > :10:03.reported to them when it comes to women but is the same thing happened

:10:04. > :10:08.in disabled hate crime came in. I have some figures I was looking at

:10:09. > :10:12.this week that says disabled hate crime has gone up 40% in the last

:10:13. > :10:17.year. What does that mean? Does that mean that people hate disabled

:10:18. > :10:24.people more than they did the previous year or that police at

:10:25. > :10:30.catching more haters? Or that people are reporting it more. But what is

:10:31. > :10:36.the criteria for these crimes? We will find out, won't we. Let's move

:10:37. > :10:44.on to the Independent. This will be a big story. We can be forgiven for

:10:45. > :10:47.not feeling that this is a turning point, that is the question that the

:10:48. > :10:52.Independent asks when it comes to the ceasefire in Syria. The whole

:10:53. > :10:56.thing is that we do not know until it starts on Monday. He reported

:10:57. > :11:02.that more than 100 people have been killed today, and this has happened

:11:03. > :11:09.before. A wall becomes more deadly, I am told, in the hours before a

:11:10. > :11:11.ceasefire. Yes, the final spasms of somebody tries to grab more

:11:12. > :11:16.Territorian before the ceasefire begins. The idea of the Russians and

:11:17. > :11:21.the Americans coming together, that could reduce the violence. The

:11:22. > :11:28.problem is whether it works out. At the moment, the South feels more

:11:29. > :11:33.say. As far as the Americans are concerned that aside and not stay

:11:34. > :11:39.there, he must go. The Russians and the Americans need to agree about

:11:40. > :11:53.what happens to a side. It is an interesting deal, part rivals, and

:11:54. > :11:57.part allies. Russia are close Assad. It will put pressure on the

:11:58. > :12:07.Americans to use their pressure on Turkey and Saudi Arabia. We call it

:12:08. > :12:14.a coalition... Hull it is not. It is but it is not. It is a group of

:12:15. > :12:20.countries. There are so many factions here. What is happening in

:12:21. > :12:24.Syria is an absolute microcosm of everything in the Middle East with

:12:25. > :12:28.so many things. And the knock-on to the neighbouring countries and

:12:29. > :12:35.tribes, be it Kurdish, Sony or Shi'ite Muslims, the most important

:12:36. > :12:42.thing is that if there is a ceasefire then humanitarian aid can

:12:43. > :12:47.get through. Quickly, we only have 40 seconds, let's squeeze in the

:12:48. > :12:51.Sunday Telegraph. Political correctness eating a threat to

:12:52. > :12:58.Christmas. This is an annual story, isn't it? It is a little different.

:12:59. > :13:02.The headline overdoes it but the head of integration has come out

:13:03. > :13:11.with a report on to how integration should work. She says how could

:13:12. > :13:20.anybody object to calling a Christmas tree a Christmas tree. It

:13:21. > :13:25.was political correctness. She wants us to look at the issue of

:13:26. > :13:29.integration and basically, no-one could take offence at the phrase

:13:30. > :13:36.Christmas tree so let's try to be more sensible. And it was a

:13:37. > :13:41.year-long study. Excellent salary will run again next Christmas. Thank

:13:42. > :13:46.you for taking a through the papers and thank you to you for joining us.

:13:47. > :13:49.Next up we have a review of films.
