:00:17. > :00:25.Hello and good evening. Welcome to look ahead to what the papers will

:00:26. > :00:31.be bringing us tomorrow. Hello to you both. Before we talk to them we

:00:32. > :00:35.should look at the front pages, starting with The Daily Mail says

:00:36. > :00:39.the Prime Minister has threatened to cap funding to GPs if they do not

:00:40. > :00:40.offer appointments 12 hours a day, seven hours

:00:41. > :00:50.days a week. It is all part of an attempt to cut keys and hospitals.

:00:51. > :00:54.The Times is carrying the same story and that is also believed in The

:00:55. > :00:59.Daily Telegraph, which reports comments from the outgoing US

:01:00. > :01:03.ambassador to the European Union, who suggest that President Trump

:01:04. > :01:09.wants to bring down the years. The Mirror carries the news of the baby

:01:10. > :01:14.that was kidnapped two decades ago in the United States, now found and

:01:15. > :01:19.returned to the mother. The Guardian is claiming an exclusive after

:01:20. > :01:24.talking to the EU chief Brexit negotiator about future relations

:01:25. > :01:29.with the City of London and the financial structures suggesting that

:01:30. > :01:33.the EU is blink first. The Daily Express is looking at the life and

:01:34. > :01:38.times of Lord Snowdon, the former husband of Princess Margaret who has

:01:39. > :01:45.died aged 86 and some great to grass in the papers today off-load

:01:46. > :01:54.Sludden. -- of Lord Snowdon. Theresa May has a problem with the long

:01:55. > :02:00.waiting times at any and one of her solutions is to get doctors

:02:01. > :02:08.surgeries to open longer hours. Problem is putting it mildly. It is

:02:09. > :02:14.a sticking plaster on a gaping wound, to use a medical analogy. She

:02:15. > :02:19.was saying she will with draw funding from GP's surgeries. She's

:02:20. > :02:24.going to withdraw money if they cannot prove they can open and

:02:25. > :02:32.delivering longer hours. Is this going to solve the problem in

:02:33. > :02:40.hospitals? The first week of January, 95% of bets were full and

:02:41. > :02:47.this week we heard that 40% of hospitals had issued alerts. -- 95%

:02:48. > :02:54.of beds. This is not because people cannot get to their GP after 5pm. To

:02:55. > :03:01.May has to be seen to do something. She is very weak on the NHS. Simon

:03:02. > :03:05.Stephens, the head of the NHS in England, has had a pop at her. She

:03:06. > :03:11.needs to be seen to be doing something. But she is putting the

:03:12. > :03:17.money in the wrong place. It is shifting the blame onto the

:03:18. > :03:26.patients. Jeremy Hunt blames people going to a need for broken

:03:27. > :03:32.fingernails for the whole crisis. In defence of the GPs who work every

:03:33. > :03:44.hour, what might be the reasons for a GP surgery shutting at TPM? Lots

:03:45. > :03:49.of reasons. My GP is the only GP in the practice, so he cannot be

:03:50. > :03:55.expected to work from ATM to 8pm, although it would be great that

:03:56. > :04:02.evening appointments. In rural areas doctors may have to go from one

:04:03. > :04:06.village to another. They also have other responsibilities, such as

:04:07. > :04:11.admin. I was looking at the national audit report and its 92% of those

:04:12. > :04:15.with that in two kilometre is a GP's surgery, which I thought was all

:04:16. > :04:25.well and good, I live within two kilometre is but I cannot get an

:04:26. > :04:32.appointment for two weeks. It is also axis. It will do not work near

:04:33. > :04:40.to their GP, so for most people going to be GP means taking a day

:04:41. > :04:51.off work. Another option would be to let people register at other GPs.

:04:52. > :04:58.Some people have GPs at their work which means people can pop out. Is

:04:59. > :05:02.said they are trying to shift the blame onto the public, but don't we

:05:03. > :05:09.have a responsibility to try and take the pressure of accident and

:05:10. > :05:15.emergency? That is not the problem of why the beds are full. NHS

:05:16. > :05:18.hospitals are bursting point because of bad locking. There are lots of

:05:19. > :05:29.patience and you cannot be dismissed. Theresa May needs to

:05:30. > :05:38.address those issues as well. We are an ageing population and the bulk of

:05:39. > :05:41.those slots are taken by older people who for argument's said they

:05:42. > :05:47.may be alone, they may not have anyone to talk to as younger people

:05:48. > :05:52.would. It is quite understandable, but society is changing quite

:05:53. > :05:57.significantly, both for GPs and AMP surgeries. At a slight is not just

:05:58. > :06:03.about hospitals and GPs, it is also about term care and older people

:06:04. > :06:08.having good social care and someone coming in to see them. They might be

:06:09. > :06:14.less likely to take a GP appointment. This is a solution that

:06:15. > :06:24.doesn't involve spending money... There giving them extra money, 500

:06:25. > :06:28.million. 500 million in funding. The order get the funding that she is

:06:29. > :06:33.good with joy is GPs do not offer the hours. They are getting extra

:06:34. > :06:41.money to operate a seven-day service. That will be hanging over

:06:42. > :06:49.the heads of the GPs. Lots of people have got on that. Another story from

:06:50. > :06:55.The Times. It is the resignation of Tristram Hunt. Smart guy? Young guy?

:06:56. > :07:03.Surely they can gather labour should be hanging onto. Jeremy Corbyn has

:07:04. > :07:08.been very calm in his reaction, but I think it is a headache for him. He

:07:09. > :07:17.has been critical of Jeremy Corbyn and he refused to serve in his

:07:18. > :07:21.Shadow Cabinet will. I don't think any Labour MP can resign at the

:07:22. > :07:29.moment but they're rocking the boat. He probably thinks that labour is

:07:30. > :07:33.going nowhere and he is so young. He just said in his resignation was

:07:34. > :07:40.nothing to do with Jeremy Corbyn. Jamie Reid is going to work in the

:07:41. > :07:46.nuclear industry and Justin Hunt is going to work and art. He was on the

:07:47. > :07:53.list of the selection targets when the boundary changes coming.

:07:54. > :08:00.Stoke-on-Trent Central, his seat, is under threat. He's probably thinking

:08:01. > :08:05.he should jump before he has to. They only had a majority of 5000. He

:08:06. > :08:12.was opposed to many of his constituents because he bolted to

:08:13. > :08:19.remain. This by-election will be very indicative of the voting post

:08:20. > :08:28.Brexit. It could be Richmond in reverse. In 2015 Ukip were second in

:08:29. > :08:31.the constituency and there is speculation that poll not will stand

:08:32. > :08:40.in the seat. I think it was one the highest Brexit boats in the

:08:41. > :08:46.referendum. This is Ukip Central. It is northern and Brexit. It is

:08:47. > :08:50.working class. I'm from there, actually. It is where they had been

:08:51. > :08:56.taking boats of labours of them I think they have a good chance there,

:08:57. > :09:04.but this would people tonight... It has been a labour seat since it has

:09:05. > :09:08.been created, since the 1950s. By thin Jeremy Corbyn does face a

:09:09. > :09:16.challenge from Ukip, particularly up a little stands. If that happens it

:09:17. > :09:19.will be indicative of Ukip putting everything into it. One problem for

:09:20. > :09:24.Ukip is that Nigel Farage is still there. He was one of the first to

:09:25. > :09:29.comment today and he is the quotes that the media carry. You do not see

:09:30. > :09:38.Paul Nuttall is often, although he has a big figure. This would be a

:09:39. > :09:47.good platform for him. Just a word on Justin Hunt, turning to the arts

:09:48. > :09:52.for a second, he did a good thing on the English Civil War for the BBC.

:09:53. > :10:02.He is well-educated. If you do write peck for the Albert and Victoria? He

:10:03. > :10:06.did oppose free entry and said that these should be reinstated, but the

:10:07. > :10:14.Victoria and Albert has said today that night he agrees with free entry

:10:15. > :10:19.and he seems to change disease. He was a historian and he is an

:10:20. > :10:23.intelligent guy. He is well-known for his energy but I'm sure there

:10:24. > :10:33.are a lot of people in the art world to be eyeing up that role he might

:10:34. > :10:38.be missed. -- might be annoyed. To The Guardian now. This is an

:10:39. > :10:44.interesting story. We have the chief negotiator for the EU who has been

:10:45. > :10:50.toying with but as politicians and saying there is only hard Brexit,

:10:51. > :10:53.but according to this article he has blinked and said that perhaps we

:10:54. > :10:59.need a better relationship with the City of London. This is one of the

:11:00. > :11:07.few good Brexit new stories we have had for a while. Essentially what

:11:08. > :11:18.this is saying is that Europe needs our city more than our city needs

:11:19. > :11:24.Europe. They are saying that the UK city, our banking industry, is like

:11:25. > :11:34.an investment bank of Europe. We are too big to fail. So they get all the

:11:35. > :11:41.money for the projects? Some people are saying that the minutes have

:11:42. > :11:46.been exaggerated, but if true it could be that we have our cake and

:11:47. > :11:51.eat it. The timing is very significant because Theresa May is

:11:52. > :11:57.giving a speech on Tuesday outlining the nuts and bolts of Brexit and she

:11:58. > :12:03.has been talking and hinting that we will go for hard Brexit, that we

:12:04. > :12:07.could leave the single market to have more control over immigration.

:12:08. > :12:14.I think the timing of this is significant because if we are moving

:12:15. > :12:19.towards a hired Scott back hard Brexit, and they are saying we can

:12:20. > :12:24.do a special deal... This is great for me because she has been

:12:25. > :12:28.criticised Bailey for not giving up the on Brexit and she has held firm

:12:29. > :12:36.and said that she will not give away our negotiating stance. He has

:12:37. > :12:39.blinked first. The fear is that EU members and companies would find it

:12:40. > :12:45.harder and more costly to raise capital that they were denied access

:12:46. > :12:50.to the city. Which is what the Eurosceptics have been saying all

:12:51. > :12:53.along. The question is whether there will be any you to fight over

:12:54. > :13:01.because according to The Daily Telegraph, the outgoing US

:13:02. > :13:07.ambassador saying that Donald Trump wants to prove the EU down from

:13:08. > :13:13.within. It is no surprise to hear that. Here's not keen on the EU. The

:13:14. > :13:17.first politician that he met after being elected was Nigel Farage.

:13:18. > :13:22.During the American election campaign he said that they were

:13:23. > :13:28.going to call for Brexit plus, plus, plus. Marie Le Pen with the Trump

:13:29. > :13:31.Tower yesterday. He has been comparing his movement to Brexit for

:13:32. > :13:39.a long time and he sees itself as part of the antiestablishment. It is

:13:40. > :13:45.the same as considering any big conglomerate a threat to him. The

:13:46. > :13:52.problem with the Americans is that if you want to speak to Europe who

:13:53. > :13:55.do you call? But the ambassador for the US makes the point that can be

:13:56. > :14:02.in the interests of America to fracture and split Europe, so you

:14:03. > :14:07.have to speak to everyone of them. Definitely not that it may be in the

:14:08. > :14:13.interests of Donald Trump. I don't imagine he knows a lot about it.

:14:14. > :14:21.That would be my guess. He likes to make sweeping comments. That is not

:14:22. > :14:25.his priority just now. We have been talking about old people in one of

:14:26. > :14:30.the stories in The Daily Telegraph is that the government is looking at

:14:31. > :14:39.ways of shifting people out of larger houses. The kids of left and

:14:40. > :14:47.they have big houses, how do we get them to downsize. The idea of one of

:14:48. > :14:52.two people in a huge house, which is a problem with younger families need

:14:53. > :14:58.bigger houses and they do not have access, and... What does that have

:14:59. > :15:04.to do with the government? It is quite nanny state. They are trying

:15:05. > :15:08.to coax people into it and add them to behave in a certain way but you

:15:09. > :15:12.cannot tell people to do that. People may have lived in their

:15:13. > :15:16.houses for decades. They will have a lot of family memories and may not

:15:17. > :15:22.want to move. Especially if someone has lost a partner. If you get the

:15:23. > :15:29.top of the housing market moving, will the rest of the move? If the

:15:30. > :15:33.government want to get single people out of big houses to free the way

:15:34. > :15:38.for younger people... The younger people can't afford them anyway.

:15:39. > :15:45.Real estate has gone through the roof and it is the older generation

:15:46. > :15:50.that have benefited from this. I wonder how many older people are in

:15:51. > :16:02.the big house was living with the grown-up children. The Scottish

:16:03. > :16:10.Daily Mail says there is a march of workers aged 80. We are trying to

:16:11. > :16:21.control the old people, but they are all working apparently. 1.4% of

:16:22. > :16:27.people aged over 80, which is a big increase from five years ago, they

:16:28. > :16:38.are still in work. The tone of the story is disapproving. There is the

:16:39. > :16:43.suggestion this should give way to younger people. Young men are

:16:44. > :16:48.finding it difficult to find full-time work and many of them are

:16:49. > :16:57.resorting to part-time roles. Should they be given way to younger people.

:16:58. > :17:03.If people are capable of working the should be allowed to continue. A man

:17:04. > :17:07.in his 80s put an advert in a local paper because it was widowed and was

:17:08. > :17:10.bored at home sweep put an ad in a local paper and got her job in a

:17:11. > :17:15.local paper and got her job at a local cafe. I remember that. There

:17:16. > :17:23.is an argument that if they do not need the money then they should not

:17:24. > :17:30.be working, can they not do charity work? If it is just for

:17:31. > :17:36.entertainment. A final 1-2 finish, but a great story. This little girl

:17:37. > :17:40.was snatched from a hospital 18 years ago, there is a picture of her

:17:41. > :17:44.on the front page, she has turned up. Imagine finding out 80 years

:17:45. > :17:50.after you were born but actually your whole life has not been the

:17:51. > :17:57.life you were supposed to have and you have a different biological

:17:58. > :18:03.family, albeit the family that raised you would be those that you

:18:04. > :18:06.thought of this family. The biological family described being

:18:07. > :18:20.elected, but I'm not sure she will be elated. To realise you have led

:18:21. > :18:37.your whole life alive. She was eight hours old. Someone will have reared

:18:38. > :18:42.this little girl she will think of those people as her parents that

:18:43. > :18:47.they are the criminals. We do not know much about how she was found or

:18:48. > :18:57.treated, we don't know. Who knows what was going on and we do not know

:18:58. > :19:05.the circumstances. There must've been a tip-off her be found. There

:19:06. > :19:09.was also a lot of the any testing. They tried to cross matched the DNA

:19:10. > :19:21.and then something like this might turn up. She has found out she has a

:19:22. > :19:27.hall other family, but it means the people who are effectively

:19:28. > :19:32.criminals. They are out of time. That is all from the papers. You can

:19:33. > :19:38.see the front pages from the papers on the BBC website. If you miss the

:19:39. > :19:46.programme this evening you can watch it again on the iPlayer. Thank you

:19:47. > :20:02.for your company this evening and that is us.

:20:03. > :20:10.The cold weather continues into the weekend but some of us have other

:20:11. > :20:12.concerns, like scenes like this in eastern England. We
