:00:00. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:19.With me are political editor of the Sunday Mirror

:00:20. > :00:22.and Sunday People, Nigel Nelson and political commentator Jo

:00:23. > :00:32.Tomorrow's front pages starting with...

:00:33. > :00:37.The Observer says cancer patients are feeling the brunt of the NHS

:00:38. > :00:41.crisis, with operations being cancelled on a regular basis.

:00:42. > :00:44.The Mail on Sunday suggests cutting the foreign aid budget to fund

:00:45. > :00:50.It claims more than three quarters of voters support the idea.

:00:51. > :00:53.Meanwhile, on the same story, the Sunday Mirror has a picture

:00:54. > :00:57.of a 2-year-old girl it says had to sit on the floor for eight hours

:00:58. > :01:01.Theresa May's Brexit strategy is the Sunday Telegraph's focus.

:01:02. > :01:09.It says the PM is prepared to lead Britain out of the single market.

:01:10. > :01:12.The "Brexit Battle Plan" is how the Sunday Express put it,

:01:13. > :01:16.saying May is going to get tough with Brussels.

:01:17. > :01:19.And the Sunday Times carries an image of Prince William who it

:01:20. > :01:22.says will be leaving his position as an air-ambulance helicopter

:01:23. > :01:31.pilot, to pursue full-time royal duties.

:01:32. > :01:40.So those were some of the front pages. We will have a more in-depth

:01:41. > :01:46.look now and we will start off with the Sunday Times and discuss Brexit.

:01:47. > :01:51.This is... The Prime Minister will make a speech on Tuesday and there

:01:52. > :01:59.has been a bit of a briefing from number ten to the newspapers. We are

:02:00. > :02:03.led to believe that this is going to be heard aiding her cards on the

:02:04. > :02:09.table and it is very much a clean, hard exit which I think will in some

:02:10. > :02:13.way go to reassure the Eurosceptics and people who have been calling on

:02:14. > :02:20.her to be more decisive. It also, I think, shows that perhaps Boris

:02:21. > :02:24.Johnson is winning the argument about Britain leaving the customs

:02:25. > :02:30.union in order to secure control of immigration. But, you know, it will

:02:31. > :02:36.be interesting to see what the effective, on the financial markets.

:02:37. > :02:43.Do you think it could be shaky even in the leader? They call it a market

:02:44. > :02:50.correction. Darling Street staff expect her words to create a market

:02:51. > :02:55.correction. She is down to she doesn't damned if she doesn't. There

:02:56. > :02:58.has been a growing call for her to be far more clear about what it

:02:59. > :03:04.means and we are waiting for the Supreme Court judgement any minute

:03:05. > :03:08.now. We are. We are waiting for MPs to get a vote on it which will be

:03:09. > :03:12.interesting to see if they want to fiddle around with what is going on.

:03:13. > :03:18.For instance, Jeremy Corbyn says he is the bottomline is that we in the

:03:19. > :03:23.single market. How do you do that? Does he then vote against Article

:03:24. > :03:27.50? He said no. At some point, if it returns to Parliament you can bet

:03:28. > :03:32.your life that MPs will be trying to find a vehicle to hold this process

:03:33. > :03:36.up. I think we have gotten to a point where I'm not sure where

:03:37. > :03:40.Theresa May could have gone with his other than where we are at the

:03:41. > :03:44.moment. It was perfectly clear from Europe that free movement was not

:03:45. > :03:50.going to be messed around with so that ruled out a single market.

:03:51. > :03:54.Free-trade deals with the rest of the world meant, we want those, it

:03:55. > :03:59.meant that we were not going to get the customs union. I think her

:04:00. > :04:04.negotiating hand was won without any cards in it anyway. You can see we

:04:05. > :04:08.have reached a stage where, right, at least we know the direction that

:04:09. > :04:13.we are going in is hard Brexit. I think, also, Europe will be

:04:14. > :04:16.listening and watching very carefully on Tuesday. Already the

:04:17. > :04:21.Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands is saying that he will

:04:22. > :04:26.block any trade deal with the UK depending on Brexit, unless they

:04:27. > :04:32.sign up to tough tax avoidance. Nobody wants Britain to become a tax

:04:33. > :04:39.haven. They envision that possibility. And so it starts. We

:04:40. > :04:42.will get an awful lot more of this. This is one of the problems of

:04:43. > :04:48.laying out your position, things like this will happen. We have

:04:49. > :04:51.already seen today the chief Rex that negotiator worried now about

:04:52. > :04:59.the city of London and the impact it may have on the other 27 countries.

:05:00. > :05:02.All this, you see when things really start blowing it will get very

:05:03. > :05:06.difficult and very messy. And you are correct. The rest of Europe will

:05:07. > :05:13.be watching because they have elections coming up. French

:05:14. > :05:17.elections, Spanish elections. And we have Donald Trump moving into the

:05:18. > :05:23.White House in a few days time. It is all moving. It is really

:05:24. > :05:28.exciting, isn't it? At least it is moving now because there has been a

:05:29. > :05:34.lot of waiting. Let us move on to the Mirror. I think it is only right

:05:35. > :05:42.that you take us through this. Fraud in the NHS. We were looking for an

:05:43. > :05:49.image that sums up the worst crisis in 15 years in AMD is specially. We

:05:50. > :05:54.found it was a little girl who is two years old and was taken to

:05:55. > :06:02.hospital in Kent and she has severe asthma. There was no bed, she just

:06:03. > :06:07.had to be put on the floor with a blanket and that is what AMD has

:06:08. > :06:12.come to now over the winter crisis. This was a Sikh girl. She spent

:06:13. > :06:17.three days in hospital. They could not get her into a ward. She came in

:06:18. > :06:23.at 630 in the evening and did not get to a ward until 2:30 a.m. . It

:06:24. > :06:31.sums up just how bad things have become. We also do a poll in the

:06:32. > :06:38.paper where people are very generous about the NHS. They are talking

:06:39. > :06:45.about, look, happy to pay more tax if that money could be specifically

:06:46. > :06:49.earmarked for NHS. The government hates that kind of thing, they want

:06:50. > :06:53.our money and decide how best to spend it stop you can see that

:06:54. > :06:57.people are concerned enough about it, everyone knows that it needs

:06:58. > :07:02.more money, the question is how you get it. Here you have taxpayers

:07:03. > :07:08.coming up and saying we can help. It is also how you spend the money stop

:07:09. > :07:15.it is a lot more complicated than I just said. You could find a million

:07:16. > :07:17.pictures in hospitals around the country that are just as

:07:18. > :07:23.heart-wrenching and awful and tragic as this little girl. But where are

:07:24. > :07:28.the pictures of the other people in AMD and how did they get there?

:07:29. > :07:35.Should that happen? Of course it should end. But if you have a

:07:36. > :07:41.target, whether or not the person who needs to be out and a knee in

:07:42. > :07:44.front of this person... I take the point that you may find AMD

:07:45. > :07:50.cluttered with people who should not be there. We need to address that.

:07:51. > :07:59.The number of drunk people on a Saturday, for instance. It is a

:08:00. > :08:04.powerful image. The vision was that the NHS should be based on need

:08:05. > :08:09.rather than an ability to pay. I think now it is not about need it is

:08:10. > :08:14.about expectation and part of the problem is that we have an ageing

:08:15. > :08:18.population and people with more complicated illnesses that can be

:08:19. > :08:23.treated that 4050 years ago would have killed somebody. You have far

:08:24. > :08:28.greater sophisticated stuff even in things like eye surgery and things

:08:29. > :08:37.that can be done... That is the point. In 1948 when the NHS was

:08:38. > :08:41.founded, the average male life expectancy was 66. Now one in three

:08:42. > :08:49.children born today live to be 100. As a result we get more prevalent

:08:50. > :08:53.ageing diseases. The 1948 model worked wonderfully in 1948. The

:08:54. > :08:58.biggest problem is we have kept that model all the way through until now.

:08:59. > :09:03.It has been fiddled with at the edges but it has been kept. What we

:09:04. > :09:09.need is a complete rethink is the NHS is to be sustainable. That leads

:09:10. > :09:15.to our next piece. You would talking about diseases and the progress of

:09:16. > :09:18.medicine. The Observer talks about cancer operations where so many

:09:19. > :09:24.cancers now are treatable which means it is more pressure on the

:09:25. > :09:30.NHS. That model does not fit society today. Also the lives we lead and

:09:31. > :09:36.the diet we eat, some of this and the chair of the Health Select

:09:37. > :09:42.Committee was talking about this on radio today, she has been writing

:09:43. > :09:47.about it often. Some of it does come down to us and the responsibility we

:09:48. > :09:53.take for our own health. It is about diet and sensible living. It is also

:09:54. > :09:58.about the expectation that if you don't do anything and you smoke 500

:09:59. > :10:01.cigarettes a day and eat rubbish and you become overweight and put

:10:02. > :10:08.pressure on diabetes and everything else you, you can't just expect to

:10:09. > :10:12.rock up to AMD and have it fixed. Actually, it you might be doing that

:10:13. > :10:15.and that little girl is sitting on the floor. It is huge and I think

:10:16. > :10:20.there are hard questions that need to be addressed by politicians. One

:10:21. > :10:25.of them is to get some sensible evidence about why are people doing

:10:26. > :10:31.this. The government is now in a head-on collision course with GPs

:10:32. > :10:36.and do we know the shore. At the same time they are cutting funding

:10:37. > :10:42.to pharmacies who are huge first stop for many people and not used

:10:43. > :10:46.enough. It seems to me that their needs are better... A bit more of a

:10:47. > :10:51.cold and harder look at where the money goes. Do people over 60

:10:52. > :10:56.automatically need free pensions? Well, most of us will not be drawing

:10:57. > :11:04.pension until we are willing to our 60s. If we have one... On that

:11:05. > :11:10.cheery note we will go to to another story in the Observer and talk about

:11:11. > :11:16.senior British politicians including the ones named in this article such

:11:17. > :11:21.as Liam Fox and Warren Johnson being targeted from the Kremlin. This

:11:22. > :11:26.comes from a former Foreign Office Minister and in a sense this is

:11:27. > :11:32.obviously in the wake of what has been happening with Donald Trump but

:11:33. > :11:37.aimed at us. This is not actually knew. It is quite amusing to think

:11:38. > :11:43.of Russians chasing Boris Johnson around. It must be a dream job that

:11:44. > :11:47.they were hoping for because I am sure they would have a lot of fun.

:11:48. > :11:52.But, yes, what they are always looking for is compromising

:11:53. > :11:56.material. Not necessarily to blackmail somebody. It is often to

:11:57. > :12:03.find out more about them or whatever. Even those who are well

:12:04. > :12:07.disposed to Russia. And that is what the allegation is over Trump I am

:12:08. > :12:09.not entirely surprise, however, that the Russians have the Foreign

:12:10. > :12:18.Secretary and the International trade Secretary in their sights. It

:12:19. > :12:24.is not really astonishing. It is astonishing. If you publish --

:12:25. > :12:29.pitched this idea to a publisher or a television producer, if it had all

:12:30. > :12:34.the details, they would not take you seriously. It seems to me that we

:12:35. > :12:43.are now going back... We are having a lovely... A resurgence of the old

:12:44. > :12:49.cold war and spy movies. Meanwhile everybody puts everything that they

:12:50. > :12:55.do on Facebook or Twitter. Fake news. Kind of staying with Donald

:12:56. > :13:03.Trump here. Everything is fake news. That is negative. It is going

:13:04. > :13:10.further, now. A committee of MPs investigate. And, good. High time.

:13:11. > :13:14.What we have seen with what happened over Donald Trump is that these

:13:15. > :13:17.allegations all emerged back in October and no-one did anything with

:13:18. > :13:24.them until Buzzfeed put the document on its website. No newspaper or

:13:25. > :13:30.respectable media organisation would have done that. The BBC would not.

:13:31. > :13:36.So the whole storm is actually a story about a story and the question

:13:37. > :13:42.comes down to is there a way of regulating Facebook, Google, Twitter

:13:43. > :13:47.in the same way that the mainstream media is heavily regulated? That

:13:48. > :13:52.seems to be the question that emerges. This group of MPs want to

:13:53. > :13:57.investigate a sea of it as possible. I have always said that citizen

:13:58. > :14:01.journalism is an oxymoron because you are not a journalist unless you

:14:02. > :14:08.are a journalist. And as Nigel says and you know, you need to have your

:14:09. > :14:14.sources verified. The beginning of this, I think, was WikiLeaks. There

:14:15. > :14:18.was an awful lot of material and it fed into the particular political

:14:19. > :14:24.agenda. Fake news is far more popular. It is facilitated by social

:14:25. > :14:32.media. I will ask you, Joe, I tried to find you on Twitter tonight. And

:14:33. > :14:40.this is where fake news outlets access

:14:41. > :14:44.were there? Because I think it is a total waste of time and I don't

:14:45. > :14:48.particularly want to share my personal thoughts with... I will do

:14:49. > :14:54.it here and I will do with -- when I write. But I don't want other people

:14:55. > :15:03.to have contact with me. It is useful but, you know, you can still

:15:04. > :15:09.message and call people and you may tell them have you seen this story?

:15:10. > :15:16.And you are not exposed to fake news. The point you make is true.

:15:17. > :15:19.Once upon a time we all knew the National Enquirer was rubbish but

:15:20. > :15:22.now it looks reasonable because it is on the Internet. Thank you very

:15:23. > :15:23.much to the both of
