Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are James Rampton, features writer at the Independent, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
The Metro claims that private companies are being employed | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
to block NHS patients being referred to hospital by their GPs. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Theresa May is set to reveal her vision for Brexit | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
in a speech later this month, says The Daily Telegraph. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Millions of people living near busy roads are at risk of dementia, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
And that story is also the lead in the Daily Mail. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
The Times carries claims that senior retired civil servants and diplomats | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
are concerned about the government's lack of direction over Brexit. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
The Sun has a story of a Syrian refugee allowed into the UK | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
despite being discovered with a fake passport. | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
OK, so let's start with the Times. Revolt over Theresa May's | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
leadership. A former ambassador to Russia gets the Brussels job. All of | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
this the fallout after that shock resignation. Yes, the story has just | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
rumbled on today. It seems there is some tension growing between top | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
mandarins and former civil servants, and ministers. There is public | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
speaking out about the resignation, and the Times leads with former | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
civil servants talking about how Ivan Rogers was extremely competent | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
at his role. That is in contrast to hearing voices such as Iain Duncan | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Smith this morning, and he's been speaking to media saying that this | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
wasn't a civil servant to be trusted. It talks about some of | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
these tensions. What does it say about the politicisation of this | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
role. It seems like a poisoned chalice. That's what we are seeing | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
here, the of conflict between the civil service and the political | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
class, who want to see Brexit followed through, and the idea that | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
the political class believes that the civil service shouldn't be | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
politicised, but should be batting for the cause when it comes to | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
Brexit. That's what is so bizarre about this. Surely the whole point | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
of the civil service is that it is neutral, and applies objected advice | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
to people without having fear or favour. The idea from some of the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Brexiteers that they cannot be trusted... Peter Lilley said it was | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
sour grapes from Sir Ivan. His job is to tell ministers what is | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
happening in Brussels. Just because they don't like the sound of it | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
doesn't mean he should lose his job. It smacks of one of the most | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
appalling things in our campaign, when Michael Gove said, "We have had | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
enough of experts". Once we get rid of experts, we are in the hands of | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
people like Nigel Farage! I don't want to go down that road! The front | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
page of the Daily Telegraph. May sets out a vision for Brexit. By all | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
accounts, she didn't tell the Queen what her vision is. Now the front | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
page of the Telegraph says we are all going to know. What is the | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
vision? To remove any suggestion of muddled thinking, one of Sir Ivan's | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
charges today, she says that her red line will be, if we are not allowed | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
control of our borders again, we will not play any part in the single | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
market. That will be the line over which she will not cross. To me, | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
this smacks of desperation. Why has this come out tonight when the Queen | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
allegedly was not told anything? Why does there still seem to be such a | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
model between certain ministers. Liam Fox has apparently been | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
sidelined. David Davis says he doesn't know what hard Brexit means. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
It is so confusing, it's as though they don't know what they are doing. | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
For people who tap into Buzzfeed, for the people you cater to, I'm | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
assuming slightly younger members of the public, how do you explain the | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
whole Brexit phenomenon, and explain this story to them. You have a | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
traditional paper here, the Daily Telegraph, putting its case. It's | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
remarkable, because our readers are really interested in reading stories | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
on Brexit. Especially when we are talking about the impact on the | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
economy. People genuinely want to know. You mention post-truth. I | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
think, at a time when perhaps you do have polarised media, this is also a | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
time when people are searching for the truth, and people are turning to | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
different outlets. They just want to know different perspectives, and at | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
the end of the day, they want to know what's going on. Do tell us! | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
What is interesting with this story in the Telegraph is that it mentions | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
the three Brexiteers, David Davis, Boris Johnson and Liam Fox having an | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
important role. Perhaps after the Supreme Court ruling, so we will see | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
what happens. What is going to be in this speech? It says here that it is | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
a vision for the future. What is that? What is Brexit? We know that | :06:29. | :06:41. | |
vision. Onto the Metro. National health scandal. Bosses making | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
millions are not treating patients. A remarkable headline. According to | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
the Metro, at least ?57 million has been spent on schemes so that | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
consultants are referring patients away from their family doctors, so | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
the money isn't being spent on treating patients. I guess the money | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
is being spent on more bureaucracy, and this is quite fascinating. Where | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
is this money coming from? A lot of people watching will be concerned. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
People being on waiting lists not being able to get their operations | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
in time, when you are seeing this amount of money going elsewhere. It | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
is quite weird. If patients who should be going into the NHS are not | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
being allowed to be referred into the NHS by their doctors, that saves | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
money. Is it a good thing? No, because it is of the GPs who decide. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
It is outside consultants. It is costing 57 million a year to pay for | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
these very expensive consultants, and there is evidence that only 14% | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
of NHS commissioning groups could save any money from this. At a time | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
where patients are being denied very expensive cancer drugs, to be | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
spending 57 million on a scheme that isn't proven to be is saving money | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
is a scandal, and I think that the headline is right. Onto the front | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
page of the Express. Apparently, busy roads can cause dementia. This | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
is based on a study from Canada. It is quite a sad story. 200,000 people | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
in the UK suffer from dementia, and it is saying that people living near | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
busy roads are more likely to get dementia. Especially someone who's | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
been living in the capital for their whole life, this is really worrying. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
We have heard lots of stories talking about the impact of | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
pollution on asthma, but I haven't really seen anything on this before. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
So is it pollution or noise affecting the brain? It is the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
particles from pollution getting into the system, and I guess this | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
affects the bodily functions, and this is what causes dementia. I just | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
think it's really devastating. What can you do about this? There's a lot | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
of people living in busy cities. But calm down, because it might not be | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
true. A story in the Express that might not be true! What is the | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
veracity of the study? It is a big study. They have studied 7 million | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
people, and they have concluded in Ontario that you are 12% more likely | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
to suffer from dementia later in life if you live near a busy road. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
That is very shocking. Going back to the NHS, we have a huge crisis with | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
care for older people, many of whom, 200,000 already a year, being | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
diagnosed with dementia. If that is going to get worse, it is incumbent | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
on the NHS to make sure it is spending its money well. Here we | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
have a story about all migrants should learn English. We are going | :10:28. | :10:40. | |
to skip over that. Buzzfeed. Trump trusts WikiLeaks astonish over US | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
intelligence agencies. Mr Assange has said that it was not WikiLeaks | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
that gave the information about the democratic committee in America. Mr | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Trump is taking his information over that from him rather than US | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
intelligence agencies. This is an astonishing story. Julian Assange | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
comes out and says, Russia is not my sources. And then Donald Trump is | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
tweeting away, saying... It is strange that the intelligence | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
briefing has been delayed, and he has been quoting Mr Assange heavily | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
today. OK, taking Julian Assange's perspective over intelligence | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
experts... It is the first time you have an incoming US president | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
quoting Julian Assange. Giving that he is Public Enemy Number one for | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
everyone in the intelligence community, and accused of sexual | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
assaults, hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy... The decision by the | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
President-Elect to back him against his own intelligence services seems | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
bizarre. Off air, we were talking about the threat of the Trump | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
presidency, and this absolutely pinpoints its me. He is a man who | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
speaks before he thinks, and he is saying, Julian Assange, and man | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
accused of sexual assault who has hidden out in an embassy for several | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
years, who is the most wanted man by the knows more than all of the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
highly paid 12 intelligence agencies in the US is absolutely nuts. It | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
does fit in with the idea of a man who shoots from the hip all the | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
time. Mike Pence, the US Vice President elect had a very polite | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
message, and Trump went ballistic. Vanity fair produced a critical | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
review of one of his restaurants, and he said, Vanity fair must close! | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
Do you see Donald Trump calling off the Department of Justice on the | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
house of Mr Assange? We will see, but in the media we take a lot of | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
his tweets literally. On face value. A lot of people don't take it as | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
seriously. Do you think it is an imposter? No, but we will see what | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
happens. Before Obama was president, he was not tweeting as much, so this | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
is crazy. Thank you both so much for the King at some of the stories | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
behind the headlines. Don't forget all the front pages | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
of the papers. It's all there for you - seven days | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. with each night's edition | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
of The Papers being posted on the page shortly | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
after we've finished. Cold and frosty for many | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
through the night. But during the day today | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
it was a cold one across much of north-eastern Scotland, | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
particularly because Temperatures peaked at around 5 | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
degrees but add on the wind | :14:09. | :14:13. |
