Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:19.:00:21.

With me are the journalist Mina Al-Oraibi

:00:22.:00:27.

Good to have you back after your travels round the world.

:00:28.:00:30.

And Tom Chivers, science writer for BuzzFeed UK.

:00:31.:00:37.

Before the papers, a word of warning. Some of you might be

:00:38.:00:44.

interested in who won the last Great British Bake Off of the series

:00:45.:00:50.

history before it affects to Channel 4. So other papers, which means the

:00:51.:00:55.

winner is on the front page. This is a spoiler alert and if you do not

:00:56.:01:02.

want to know who won, put a couple of Bakewell tarts in your ears and

:01:03.:01:06.

turn away because we will unavoidably reveal all in this paper

:01:07.:01:08.

's review. You have been warned. The Metro says thousands of low-paid

:01:09.:01:13.

NHS staff are having to rely on food banks,

:01:14.:01:16.

hand-outs and payday loans. A stark image of the burning remains

:01:17.:01:23.

of the Jungle dominates the front The Express once again raises

:01:24.:01:26.

the prospect of a quick Brexit, carrying comments from the head

:01:27.:01:30.

of the World Trade Organisation in which he says there's

:01:31.:01:33.

no need for disruption Great British Bake Off

:01:34.:01:35.

winner is Candice Brown and is in line for a big pay day,

:01:36.:01:43.

says the Daily Star, saying she'll be launching a luxury

:01:44.:01:47.

cake firm and her own line The Mail says British troops

:01:48.:01:50.

and planes will be deployed in Estonia and Romania,

:01:51.:01:53.

in response to what Nato sees The Guardian reports on criticism

:01:54.:01:56.

of the Prime Minister over what she said privately to bankers

:01:57.:02:00.

about the possible economic cost of Brexit -

:02:01.:02:03.

a story the newspaper broke The Times has uncovered figures

:02:04.:02:05.

which apparently show that the economic benefits

:02:06.:02:08.

of an extra runway at Heathrow We can begin. The Guardian newspaper

:02:09.:02:25.

and the story about the children left behind, as the Calais camp

:02:26.:02:34.

burned. You have taken interest in Middle Eastern affairs, Mina

:02:35.:02:37.

Al-Oraibi. You have middle Eastern heritage. Many of these young

:02:38.:02:40.

children have travelled from parts of the Middle East. How do you think

:02:41.:02:46.

this has been handled? It has been handled terribly. There are 100

:02:47.:02:50.

unaccompanied minors that nobody knows where they are tonight.

:02:51.:02:55.

Imagine a country like France, that Europe would find that acceptable

:02:56.:02:58.

and they are not the only miners lost along the way as conflicts of

:02:59.:03:04.

the Middle East, but some who have escaped terrible poverty in Africa.

:03:05.:03:08.

We see how the camp and the story in the Guardian is looking at the issue

:03:09.:03:15.

of children, at 5000 people are affected by this. Images of burning

:03:16.:03:21.

down the camp and in reality, these are human beings. We can call them

:03:22.:03:25.

migrants, refugees, but they are human beings whose government has

:03:26.:03:30.

failed them and the international system has failed them.

:03:31.:03:36.

Disconcerting to hear comment is from the regional prefect in Calais

:03:37.:03:38.

saying Mission accomplished, as if it were a military mission against

:03:39.:03:47.

militants. It was people seeking a better life. The Guardian quotes

:03:48.:03:57.

some charities, representatives of kindness, people volunteering and

:03:58.:04:01.

putting up posts on Facebook and saying can somebody help these

:04:02.:04:05.

people because they need shelter? Is there an argument this camp is a

:04:06.:04:10.

pretty horrible place, refugee camps often are terrible places, and there

:04:11.:04:15.

will always be a better way to accommodate people in these

:04:16.:04:18.

situations and when countries are not sure if they are prepared to

:04:19.:04:22.

accept them. There should be a better way to house people but the

:04:23.:04:25.

fact you raise it to the ground and they distributed them in 450

:04:26.:04:32.

different locations in France, there is a long process of trying to

:04:33.:04:35.

process the people because in reality nobody wants to deal with

:04:36.:04:42.

the crisis. Looking at the Telegraph image, these are the kinds of

:04:43.:04:47.

images... A burning camp. Almost like a dystopia. The movies we

:04:48.:04:55.

watched 10-15 years ago. There haves and have nots, and the latter can

:04:56.:04:59.

face terrible circumstances with nobody to speak up for them. The

:05:00.:05:07.

image, the cooking oil and gas that had not been cleared away and

:05:08.:05:13.

exploded. All policy emphasis seems to be on pushing people out of this

:05:14.:05:18.

place and it seems to me the idea they will go to the Calais Jungle

:05:19.:05:21.

and the problem will be over is ridiculous. It is like pushing down

:05:22.:05:27.

the bubble in wallpaper and it move somewhere else. They have 5000

:05:28.:05:33.

people who need a home and they are shuffling around 450 different

:05:34.:05:37.

places in France. We have three reporters there at BuzzFeed. They

:05:38.:05:41.

were doing a marvellous job following people around and they

:05:42.:05:46.

said people were separated from their family and friends, people did

:05:47.:05:52.

not know who they were with. Carted around without any clear idea what

:05:53.:05:58.

the next stage was. It seems to me this is they are going for the

:05:59.:06:02.

headline idea, burn the place to the ground and hope it works out for the

:06:03.:06:06.

best, whereas we know from everywhere else in the world that

:06:07.:06:10.

when you make a refugee camp somewhere, it does not tend to be a

:06:11.:06:14.

temporary arrangement, it tends to be a long-term thing. I cannot see

:06:15.:06:18.

this solving problems in a meaningful way. We can move onto

:06:19.:06:23.

another story that is gaining more traction and that is what Russia is

:06:24.:06:28.

up to, not just in Syria, but its role on the edge of Europe. We had a

:06:29.:06:35.

report of Spain having said it would allow refuelling of the Russian

:06:36.:06:38.

fleet in the Mediterranean but now having been lent on by Nato

:06:39.:06:42.

colleagues, saying there is no safe harbour. Next stop will be Malta and

:06:43.:06:48.

we will see if they will act in the same way. Deployment of British

:06:49.:06:54.

troops. We knew some would go as a rolling detachment I think in

:06:55.:06:59.

Poland. The presence of jets, does that up the ante? Is it being

:07:00.:07:07.

overhyped? It is up upping the empty. A proclamation was made at

:07:08.:07:15.

the last Nato summit to have greater presence. Eastern European countries

:07:16.:07:20.

now part of Nato are pushing on Western European nations and America

:07:21.:07:24.

to say we need presence. You will see more of a Canadian presence.

:07:25.:07:29.

Only 150 troops, but the idea is to tell Russia there is a consequence.

:07:30.:07:39.

The timing is partly to do with the timing of increased sanctions on

:07:40.:07:43.

Russia. Let's try to put pressure through Nato. This story says there

:07:44.:07:49.

will be 800 troops deployed to Estonia for six months remain. It is

:07:50.:07:57.

quite a lead up. It really is leading to yet more of a Cold War

:07:58.:08:02.

scenario where we have Europe having, Eastern Europe is really the

:08:03.:08:06.

buffer zone towards Russia, but it is more than posturing the fact you

:08:07.:08:10.

have military personnel and equipment on the ground. You feel

:08:11.:08:14.

like Putin is probably pleased with this. The great Western imperialist

:08:15.:08:21.

oppressor has come to face up to us again, this plays into his... I am

:08:22.:08:25.

not suggesting it is not important and he should not do it, but I

:08:26.:08:29.

cannot imagine this is a disappointment. The Dato front page

:08:30.:08:35.

might be pinned up on those boards -- Nato from page, pinned up at

:08:36.:08:42.

Russian military headquarters. The Daily Telegraph has a domestic

:08:43.:08:49.

story. You are a science journalist, Tom, the end of Doctor knows best.

:08:50.:08:54.

The story is following a Supreme Court judgment, a horrible story, a

:08:55.:09:00.

diabetic mother had her baby born with disabilities and apparently she

:09:01.:09:06.

said it was she failed to have enough advice about the risks of

:09:07.:09:11.

natural birth over a Caesarean. The Royal College said clinicians should

:09:12.:09:17.

take patients through all options available, rather than using their

:09:18.:09:21.

judgment to rule out the less likely to help ones. Putting the decision

:09:22.:09:30.

making into the hands of the patient. As an occasional patient,

:09:31.:09:35.

you think, I like it when the doctor makes decisions because they know

:09:36.:09:40.

what they are talking about. But having spoken to doctors on similar

:09:41.:09:45.

topics, one thing they have all said is it is risky to underestimate the

:09:46.:09:51.

intelligence and judgment of patients. They are often

:09:52.:09:56.

well-informed about conditions they have, especially with things like...

:09:57.:10:00.

There are decisions about risk and trade-offs. If you are diagnosed

:10:01.:10:07.

with certain types of cancer you might be offered a choice between a

:10:08.:10:10.

surgical approach which will almost certainly clear that cancer but

:10:11.:10:14.

leave you with long-term problems such as having to have a colostomy

:10:15.:10:23.

bag, but sometimes others are riskier but there is not a right

:10:24.:10:28.

answer. There is not an expert solution. Putting that decision in

:10:29.:10:35.

the hands of the patient might make sense. Does that appeal? In certain

:10:36.:10:43.

cases patients are given options, especially when it requires surgery,

:10:44.:10:47.

when the surgeon will explain what the decision is. The Daily Telegraph

:10:48.:10:53.

story explains that in some cases the consultation is not long enough

:10:54.:10:57.

to go through all options and you do not see the senior consultant, often

:10:58.:11:01.

it is someone from the team who will not go through all possibilities.

:11:02.:11:06.

This case is about natural birth and Caesarean because a lot of women are

:11:07.:11:10.

pushed for going further natural birth and I wonder if this is a

:11:11.:11:14.

conversation that should be had about options women on given when it

:11:15.:11:20.

comes to delivery because quite often that is depending on the ethos

:11:21.:11:25.

of the doctor and what they think is best and what action they will

:11:26.:11:29.

choose. First-time mothers especially do not know what to

:11:30.:11:33.

expect. It should not be about litigation. The story said 1.4

:11:34.:11:43.

billion was paid out by NHS trusts from 2015 because of litigation

:11:44.:11:49.

issues. And trying to push the responsibility on the patient,

:11:50.:11:52.

because surely the experts know best. I think we have that already

:11:53.:11:57.

and the more senior doctors definitely give more information

:11:58.:11:59.

than sometimes happens in other cases. I seem to remember the NHS

:12:00.:12:07.

budget total is 100 billion and so 1.4 billion is not nothing but I

:12:08.:12:12.

hope that is not going to drive major decisions. That is a fraction

:12:13.:12:20.

overall. Finally, spoiler alert. For anyone still watching having failed

:12:21.:12:25.

to listen to my advice or indeed the Bakewell tarts have melted in their

:12:26.:12:29.

ears, which was not good advice! We are going on to the winner of Great

:12:30.:12:35.

British Bake Off. Tom, I know you are particularly interested and

:12:36.:12:43.

feeling pleased with yourself. I am, I am Team can this. I have outed

:12:44.:13:02.

myself as Team Candice Brown. Are we not having marmite any more because

:13:03.:13:05.

of Brexit? Has it become too expensive? She is unpopular with a

:13:06.:13:13.

certain section of society because partly I think because she is

:13:14.:13:18.

pouting a lot. Which explains the reference she will have her own

:13:19.:13:22.

range of lipstick. We are out of time. Thanks for being with us.

:13:23.:13:29.

Congratulations to Candice Brown and commiserations to the other winners.

:13:30.:13:34.

All the front pages are online on the BBC News website and you can

:13:35.:13:40.

read a detailed review. And you can see us with each night's edition of

:13:41.:13:46.

the Papers posted shortly after we finish. I will be back with the

:13:47.:13:47.

headlines at 11. A milder feel to the weather has
