:00:21. > :00:37.Finally! Hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will
:00:38. > :00:43.be bringing us tomorrow. If front pages then in English. The mail
:00:44. > :00:50.warns of council tax rises comes most areas face increases of 5%.
:00:51. > :00:58.Greek's finances are the FT's top story. The mattresses problems
:00:59. > :01:02.facing the NHS are even worse, reporting the 25,000 people at
:01:03. > :01:10.waiting for cancer treatment. And the mirror reports on the lowest
:01:11. > :01:16.rate of NHS spending in history. The Guardian says the Prime Minister
:01:17. > :01:21.faces a rebellion from your own MPs to end the child migrant scheme. The
:01:22. > :01:28.Times claims taxpayers and charities are fuel and the surge in fake news.
:01:29. > :01:31.And the express reports on the number of people trying to enter the
:01:32. > :01:35.UK illegally and speculates about whether Tom Jones and Priscilla
:01:36. > :01:44.Presley are an item! That will not feature in what discussing. It is
:01:45. > :01:52.not unusual! Let's begin with the Daily Telegraph. Council tax rises
:01:53. > :01:55.for millions, households across the country facing higher bills, not
:01:56. > :02:00.just council tax bills, but the parking as well. We knew council tax
:02:01. > :02:06.rates would go up because we always do, particularly when the government
:02:07. > :02:11.is short of cash because the force local governments to raise more
:02:12. > :02:14.money. This is a local government information unit survey and they
:02:15. > :02:20.have surveyed councils in England and Wales and 94% of those councils
:02:21. > :02:27.only have said they will raise council tax over the next year by up
:02:28. > :02:38.to 5%, and that may also include additional charges for parking and
:02:39. > :02:40.waste disposal. The accusation here then is the raising charges they do
:02:41. > :02:43.not necessarily need to raise under the banner of social care costs
:02:44. > :02:51.going up. Yes, but councils say we do need to do it, and that is
:02:52. > :02:57.because of the rising cost of social care. I will move us because we have
:02:58. > :03:02.got so much to get through. Up to 150 MPs support a motion to oust
:03:03. > :03:09.John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, who was very partial about
:03:10. > :03:14.Donald Trump and he is supposed to be impartial and some MPs have taken
:03:15. > :03:22.exception to what he has said about him addressing Parliament. It was
:03:23. > :03:27.another Trump story because it is regarding the state visit the
:03:28. > :03:32.president Trump is to make, Theresa May gave that invitation to the
:03:33. > :03:44.White House on the Queen and it was accepted by it President Trump. The
:03:45. > :03:47.criticism is not that the Speaker of the House of Commons said he was
:03:48. > :03:53.against the visit, it is the fact he went on to say it was racism and
:03:54. > :04:01.sexism, that is the particular parts that some MPs are unhappy with,
:04:02. > :04:06.amongst them a Conservative MP and former Foreign Minister who has
:04:07. > :04:16.tabled a motion of no confidence. He did that today. After the Speaker
:04:17. > :04:18.said... He wanted to bar the US president from addressing
:04:19. > :04:25.Parliament. Although there are 150 MPs, the vote will not be binding,
:04:26. > :04:30.but it is considered he would be in an untenable position if a certain
:04:31. > :04:38.number of MPs were to vote against him. If it is 150, that is getting
:04:39. > :04:45.on for a quarter of MPs. Liam, help us out with this one, financial
:04:46. > :04:54.Times, Greek debt sell-off. This is all to do with the dire straits the
:04:55. > :04:57.Greek economy and banks are in. For the last year, 18 months, this
:04:58. > :05:08.notion of problems in the Eurozone has gone quiet, but the problem is
:05:09. > :05:11.still there. Greece is still basically bankrupt, reliant on a
:05:12. > :05:21.rolling bailout from the IMF and European Union jointly. The ECB.
:05:22. > :05:25.Every year or so it has to be renewed and there is a lot of
:05:26. > :05:33.political argy-bargy. Greek bond yields have spiked and investors are
:05:34. > :05:36.losing confidence in Greece. There is a row between the EU and the IMF
:05:37. > :05:40.as to who will actually showed the losses the Greece will impose and
:05:41. > :05:46.the timing of this means that it is particularly tense because ahead of
:05:47. > :05:57.the Dutch and French elections, there is a lot of very tense
:05:58. > :05:59.politics and the Eurozone. If the idea spreads that they may actually
:06:00. > :06:02.let Greece go bankrupt, there will be fears about other countries going
:06:03. > :06:12.bankrupt. The Eurozone will have lots of turmoil and contagion.
:06:13. > :06:18.High-stakes stuff. Normally, we get to a cliff edge and in the 11th
:06:19. > :06:22.hour, a deal is done. You might feel you are over the hump and not at
:06:23. > :06:36.all. Angela Merkel gets tough on asylum seekers is the picture on the
:06:37. > :06:39.FT. Another asylum seeker story. This is that increased cash payments
:06:40. > :06:43.says the FT for those leaving Germany voluntarily and of
:06:44. > :06:50.repatriations centre to handle difficult cases. These are among
:06:51. > :06:54.some of the proposals of the German Chancellor just a few months ahead
:06:55. > :07:00.of the election. 1.2 million migrants were welcomed and accepted,
:07:01. > :07:10.invited indeed by Angela Merkel, but in the light of the terrorist attack
:07:11. > :07:18.by a Tunisian 's asylum seeker, plus the fact she is facing a lot of not
:07:19. > :07:30.just rebellion but problems within her party. She is really feeling the
:07:31. > :07:36.heat. Particularly also we have to remember alternative for Germany and
:07:37. > :07:42.how these parties doing. There are problems now that Angela Merkel and
:07:43. > :07:48.doubts about her re-election. This is different from how welcome
:07:49. > :07:58.policy. It sounds so nice and French. Cannot compete! I don't have
:07:59. > :08:01.to compete. Nothing like self-confidence. The Guardian,
:08:02. > :08:11.someone else feeling the heat, rebellion threat... Oh, you caught
:08:12. > :08:19.up finally, well done! Rebellion threat grows over may's bar on child
:08:20. > :08:29.refugees. 3500 loan child refugee children were meant to be coming to
:08:30. > :08:40.Britain and only 350 power. This goes back to the dubs amendment, a
:08:41. > :08:42.Labour peer highly regarded. The informal limits for loan child
:08:43. > :08:47.refugees that Britain would take every year was around 3500 and the
:08:48. > :08:54.government is saying it will be 350 and you have got the Archbishop of
:08:55. > :08:57.Canterbury weighing in now to this debate, saying he is saddened and
:08:58. > :09:02.shocked by the decision to limit these measures to only 350 children,
:09:03. > :09:10.saying it is regrettable. Some MPs will not let that go. The word
:09:11. > :09:15.close, the Guardian Singh close but Amber Rudd in Parliament said they
:09:16. > :09:22.are not closing it. Words matter. They do, thank you for clarifying.
:09:23. > :09:27.The daily Mirror, a couple of health stories... No, just the one we're
:09:28. > :09:37.doing now. And it is spending back to the 50s. Can you explain this?
:09:38. > :09:40.Health spending is increasing in real terms, it is not keeping pace
:09:41. > :09:43.with demand though. This is the distinction between levels of
:09:44. > :09:50.spending rates of change of spending. Health spending goes up
:09:51. > :09:58.year-on-year. What the mirror are pointing out though, they are not
:09:59. > :10:07.fiddling the figures, the growth of health spending, 1.1%, is very low,
:10:08. > :10:12.and it is not keeping up with demand. But as they also point out,
:10:13. > :10:19.they have done really well. They have had a statistical story across
:10:20. > :10:31.two pages here, it is also a chart saying that as the NHS tries to do
:10:32. > :10:34.with 1 million patients a day, A numbers are up 33% over the last
:10:35. > :10:37.decade or so, they are also showing that the UK, even though health
:10:38. > :10:42.spending has been going up, we are spending less than 1% of our GDP. It
:10:43. > :10:51.is worth pointing out. How preoccupied are the French with the
:10:52. > :10:55.spending of provision? Worried because there is a different system
:10:56. > :10:59.but it has its financial problems. I was in Paris yesterday, chairing the
:11:00. > :11:06.conference, and I had some of the most eminent European specialists on
:11:07. > :11:09.health. The state the obvious, what is not mentioned in this is very
:11:10. > :11:16.much the fact that our populations are ageing and we have not planned
:11:17. > :11:18.properly for this. This is not an overnight occurrence. This is
:11:19. > :11:20.something that is totally predictable and needs to be
:11:21. > :11:26.addressed. It is clear that in the United Kingdom, as we are now
:11:27. > :11:32.discovering because we are hearing all kinds of stories about people
:11:33. > :11:39.kept for six hours on trolleys, four hours before they can get into A,
:11:40. > :11:44.ambulances having to wait, and this is not just a winter problem, it is
:11:45. > :11:50.becoming an all year round problem and it is not for the lack of
:11:51. > :11:57.courage, dedication and above the call of duty and nurses and doctors.
:11:58. > :12:03.That is before we even talk about cancer treatment and social care.
:12:04. > :12:09.Public cash paying for growth of fake news. This is a really
:12:10. > :12:20.interesting story by the Times. It is obvious that it is happening.
:12:21. > :12:36.Government bodies advertise, charities advertise. And when you
:12:37. > :12:39.advertise virtually, online newspapers and publications, Google
:12:40. > :12:44.will take the ads and put them elsewhere for a fee and that is how
:12:45. > :12:49.are curated and spread around different websites. You are now
:12:50. > :12:54.getting government and charity backed adverts appearing on websites
:12:55. > :13:01.that deal with fake news. Which seems to legitimise the story. Some
:13:02. > :13:10.of these websites are nasty. They are anti-American, they may incite
:13:11. > :13:17.terrorists, violence, extremists. But this is what happens when your
:13:18. > :13:19.adverts are curated by the huge search engines and social media
:13:20. > :13:24.companies. You lose the control of the ability to choose where your
:13:25. > :13:32.brand is advertised. You do not set the parameters. The Select Committee
:13:33. > :13:40.is looking into Google's roll anyway. The chairman intends to hold
:13:41. > :13:43.senior advertising executives before MPs to explain how adverts are
:13:44. > :13:50.placed online sites promoting extremism, violence or news. And
:13:51. > :13:55.when you see a household name or legitimate business, you think this
:13:56. > :14:01.must be a pukka website. They have not chosen to advertise there. It is
:14:02. > :14:05.just how it has worked out. A consequence of fake news and how
:14:06. > :14:19.we're having to be vigilant about sources of news. A new phenomenon.
:14:20. > :14:24.No adverts here. Except for you! The's finish with a little story
:14:25. > :14:31.about some famous people having babies. George Clooney and his wife
:14:32. > :14:35.are having twins apparently. What are we meant to say other than, we
:14:36. > :14:47.wish you well and get used to sleepless nights? Possibly, if you
:14:48. > :14:54.can afford it, hire a nanny. Certainly for the first few weeks.
:14:55. > :15:00.But they will look great. They will have loads of help. Will George
:15:01. > :15:13.Clooney get up in the middle of it to do the feed? He might, don't
:15:14. > :15:14.sexist. I am not. That is it for The Papers before we dispatch anyone
:15:15. > :15:45.else. At this time of year, the battle
:15:46. > :15:46.between winter and spring
