:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:21.With me are James Rampton, features writer at the Independent,

:00:22. > :00:25.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with:

:00:26. > :00:27.The Metro claims that private companies are being employed

:00:28. > :00:32.to block NHS patients being referred to hospital by their GPs.

:00:33. > :00:37.Theresa May is set to reveal her vision for Brexit

:00:38. > :00:39.in a speech later this month, says The Daily Telegraph.

:00:40. > :00:43.Millions of people living near busy roads are at risk of dementia,

:00:44. > :00:49.And that story is also the lead in the Daily Mail.

:00:50. > :00:52.The Times carries claims that senior retired civil servants and diplomats

:00:53. > :00:57.are concerned about the government's lack of direction over Brexit.

:00:58. > :01:00.The Sun has a story of a Syrian refugee allowed into the UK

:01:01. > :01:10.despite being discovered with a fake passport.

:01:11. > :01:21.OK, so let's start with the Times. Revolt over Theresa May's

:01:22. > :01:28.leadership. A former ambassador to Russia gets the Brussels job. All of

:01:29. > :01:35.this the fallout after that shock resignation. Yes, the story has just

:01:36. > :01:40.rumbled on today. It seems there is some tension growing between top

:01:41. > :01:44.mandarins and former civil servants, and ministers. There is public

:01:45. > :01:53.speaking out about the resignation, and the Times leads with former

:01:54. > :02:02.civil servants talking about how Ivan Rogers was extremely competent

:02:03. > :02:06.at his role. That is in contrast to hearing voices such as Iain Duncan

:02:07. > :02:12.Smith this morning, and he's been speaking to media saying that this

:02:13. > :02:17.wasn't a civil servant to be trusted. It talks about some of

:02:18. > :02:20.these tensions. What does it say about the politicisation of this

:02:21. > :02:29.role. It seems like a poisoned chalice. That's what we are seeing

:02:30. > :02:34.here, the of conflict between the civil service and the political

:02:35. > :02:38.class, who want to see Brexit followed through, and the idea that

:02:39. > :02:46.the political class believes that the civil service shouldn't be

:02:47. > :02:53.politicised, but should be batting for the cause when it comes to

:02:54. > :02:58.Brexit. That's what is so bizarre about this. Surely the whole point

:02:59. > :03:03.of the civil service is that it is neutral, and applies objected advice

:03:04. > :03:09.to people without having fear or favour. The idea from some of the

:03:10. > :03:15.Brexiteers that they cannot be trusted... Peter Lilley said it was

:03:16. > :03:19.sour grapes from Sir Ivan. His job is to tell ministers what is

:03:20. > :03:24.happening in Brussels. Just because they don't like the sound of it

:03:25. > :03:30.doesn't mean he should lose his job. It smacks of one of the most

:03:31. > :03:35.appalling things in our campaign, when Michael Gove said, "We have had

:03:36. > :03:42.enough of experts". Once we get rid of experts, we are in the hands of

:03:43. > :03:49.people like Nigel Farage! I don't want to go down that road! The front

:03:50. > :03:59.page of the Daily Telegraph. May sets out a vision for Brexit. By all

:04:00. > :04:03.accounts, she didn't tell the Queen what her vision is. Now the front

:04:04. > :04:10.page of the Telegraph says we are all going to know. What is the

:04:11. > :04:16.vision? To remove any suggestion of muddled thinking, one of Sir Ivan's

:04:17. > :04:20.charges today, she says that her red line will be, if we are not allowed

:04:21. > :04:26.control of our borders again, we will not play any part in the single

:04:27. > :04:32.market. That will be the line over which she will not cross. To me,

:04:33. > :04:37.this smacks of desperation. Why has this come out tonight when the Queen

:04:38. > :04:46.allegedly was not told anything? Why does there still seem to be such a

:04:47. > :04:50.model between certain ministers. Liam Fox has apparently been

:04:51. > :04:55.sidelined. David Davis says he doesn't know what hard Brexit means.

:04:56. > :05:02.It is so confusing, it's as though they don't know what they are doing.

:05:03. > :05:07.For people who tap into Buzzfeed, for the people you cater to, I'm

:05:08. > :05:15.assuming slightly younger members of the public, how do you explain the

:05:16. > :05:19.whole Brexit phenomenon, and explain this story to them. You have a

:05:20. > :05:25.traditional paper here, the Daily Telegraph, putting its case. It's

:05:26. > :05:32.remarkable, because our readers are really interested in reading stories

:05:33. > :05:37.on Brexit. Especially when we are talking about the impact on the

:05:38. > :05:45.economy. People genuinely want to know. You mention post-truth. I

:05:46. > :05:49.think, at a time when perhaps you do have polarised media, this is also a

:05:50. > :05:56.time when people are searching for the truth, and people are turning to

:05:57. > :05:58.different outlets. They just want to know different perspectives, and at

:05:59. > :06:05.the end of the day, they want to know what's going on. Do tell us!

:06:06. > :06:11.What is interesting with this story in the Telegraph is that it mentions

:06:12. > :06:18.the three Brexiteers, David Davis, Boris Johnson and Liam Fox having an

:06:19. > :06:24.important role. Perhaps after the Supreme Court ruling, so we will see

:06:25. > :06:28.what happens. What is going to be in this speech? It says here that it is

:06:29. > :06:41.a vision for the future. What is that? What is Brexit? We know that

:06:42. > :06:47.vision. Onto the Metro. National health scandal. Bosses making

:06:48. > :06:53.millions are not treating patients. A remarkable headline. According to

:06:54. > :07:02.the Metro, at least ?57 million has been spent on schemes so that

:07:03. > :07:08.consultants are referring patients away from their family doctors, so

:07:09. > :07:14.the money isn't being spent on treating patients. I guess the money

:07:15. > :07:19.is being spent on more bureaucracy, and this is quite fascinating. Where

:07:20. > :07:24.is this money coming from? A lot of people watching will be concerned.

:07:25. > :07:28.People being on waiting lists not being able to get their operations

:07:29. > :07:35.in time, when you are seeing this amount of money going elsewhere. It

:07:36. > :07:40.is quite weird. If patients who should be going into the NHS are not

:07:41. > :07:45.being allowed to be referred into the NHS by their doctors, that saves

:07:46. > :07:52.money. Is it a good thing? No, because it is of the GPs who decide.

:07:53. > :07:57.It is outside consultants. It is costing 57 million a year to pay for

:07:58. > :08:03.these very expensive consultants, and there is evidence that only 14%

:08:04. > :08:09.of NHS commissioning groups could save any money from this. At a time

:08:10. > :08:15.where patients are being denied very expensive cancer drugs, to be

:08:16. > :08:22.spending 57 million on a scheme that isn't proven to be is saving money

:08:23. > :08:26.is a scandal, and I think that the headline is right. Onto the front

:08:27. > :08:34.page of the Express. Apparently, busy roads can cause dementia. This

:08:35. > :08:41.is based on a study from Canada. It is quite a sad story. 200,000 people

:08:42. > :08:45.in the UK suffer from dementia, and it is saying that people living near

:08:46. > :08:53.busy roads are more likely to get dementia. Especially someone who's

:08:54. > :08:57.been living in the capital for their whole life, this is really worrying.

:08:58. > :09:01.We have heard lots of stories talking about the impact of

:09:02. > :09:07.pollution on asthma, but I haven't really seen anything on this before.

:09:08. > :09:12.So is it pollution or noise affecting the brain? It is the

:09:13. > :09:16.particles from pollution getting into the system, and I guess this

:09:17. > :09:23.affects the bodily functions, and this is what causes dementia. I just

:09:24. > :09:30.think it's really devastating. What can you do about this? There's a lot

:09:31. > :09:36.of people living in busy cities. But calm down, because it might not be

:09:37. > :09:46.true. A story in the Express that might not be true! What is the

:09:47. > :09:52.veracity of the study? It is a big study. They have studied 7 million

:09:53. > :09:58.people, and they have concluded in Ontario that you are 12% more likely

:09:59. > :10:03.to suffer from dementia later in life if you live near a busy road.

:10:04. > :10:11.That is very shocking. Going back to the NHS, we have a huge crisis with

:10:12. > :10:19.care for older people, many of whom, 200,000 already a year, being

:10:20. > :10:22.diagnosed with dementia. If that is going to get worse, it is incumbent

:10:23. > :10:27.on the NHS to make sure it is spending its money well. Here we

:10:28. > :10:40.have a story about all migrants should learn English. We are going

:10:41. > :10:45.to skip over that. Buzzfeed. Trump trusts WikiLeaks astonish over US

:10:46. > :10:53.intelligence agencies. Mr Assange has said that it was not WikiLeaks

:10:54. > :10:59.that gave the information about the democratic committee in America. Mr

:11:00. > :11:08.Trump is taking his information over that from him rather than US

:11:09. > :11:13.intelligence agencies. This is an astonishing story. Julian Assange

:11:14. > :11:18.comes out and says, Russia is not my sources. And then Donald Trump is

:11:19. > :11:22.tweeting away, saying... It is strange that the intelligence

:11:23. > :11:30.briefing has been delayed, and he has been quoting Mr Assange heavily

:11:31. > :11:36.today. OK, taking Julian Assange's perspective over intelligence

:11:37. > :11:42.experts... It is the first time you have an incoming US president

:11:43. > :11:48.quoting Julian Assange. Giving that he is Public Enemy Number one for

:11:49. > :11:52.everyone in the intelligence community, and accused of sexual

:11:53. > :11:59.assaults, hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy... The decision by the

:12:00. > :12:05.President-Elect to back him against his own intelligence services seems

:12:06. > :12:10.bizarre. Off air, we were talking about the threat of the Trump

:12:11. > :12:16.presidency, and this absolutely pinpoints its me. He is a man who

:12:17. > :12:20.speaks before he thinks, and he is saying, Julian Assange, and man

:12:21. > :12:26.accused of sexual assault who has hidden out in an embassy for several

:12:27. > :12:30.years, who is the most wanted man by the knows more than all of the

:12:31. > :12:35.highly paid 12 intelligence agencies in the US is absolutely nuts. It

:12:36. > :12:41.does fit in with the idea of a man who shoots from the hip all the

:12:42. > :12:47.time. Mike Pence, the US Vice President elect had a very polite

:12:48. > :12:51.message, and Trump went ballistic. Vanity fair produced a critical

:12:52. > :13:00.review of one of his restaurants, and he said, Vanity fair must close!

:13:01. > :13:06.Do you see Donald Trump calling off the Department of Justice on the

:13:07. > :13:12.house of Mr Assange? We will see, but in the media we take a lot of

:13:13. > :13:19.his tweets literally. On face value. A lot of people don't take it as

:13:20. > :13:25.seriously. Do you think it is an imposter? No, but we will see what

:13:26. > :13:31.happens. Before Obama was president, he was not tweeting as much, so this

:13:32. > :13:33.is crazy. Thank you both so much for the King at some of the stories

:13:34. > :13:36.behind the headlines. Don't forget all the front pages

:13:37. > :13:39.are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review

:13:40. > :13:43.of the papers. It's all there for you - seven days

:13:44. > :13:46.a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. with each night's edition

:13:47. > :13:50.of The Papers being posted on the page shortly

:13:51. > :13:59.after we've finished. Cold and frosty for many

:14:00. > :14:02.through the night. But during the day today

:14:03. > :14:06.it was a cold one across much of north-eastern Scotland,

:14:07. > :14:08.particularly because Temperatures peaked at around 5

:14:09. > :14:13.degrees but add on the wind
