:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:19.With me are Claire Cohen, Women's Editor of the Daily

:00:20. > :00:26.Telegraph and broadcaster David Davies.

:00:27. > :00:31.Good to have you both. Watford fan, United fan.

:00:32. > :00:33.The i leads with an exclusive story about sweeping changes

:00:34. > :00:35.to the NHS that could lead to some hospitals closing.

:00:36. > :00:38.The Metro focuses on the death of city banker Oliver Dearlove

:00:39. > :00:42.who was killed with a single punch on a night out.

:00:43. > :00:44.The Telegraph says doctors are failing to prescribe women

:00:45. > :00:48.a pill that can cut the risk of breast cancer by a third

:00:49. > :00:50.because many doctors are unaware that it can be used

:00:51. > :01:05.People using public transport face much higher pollution levels than

:01:06. > :01:11.people using a car. They express claims EU bosses have a rosy

:01:12. > :01:22.economic future despite the Brexit boat.

:01:23. > :01:29.The new judge to replace Mary Berry on the great British bake-off will

:01:30. > :01:37.be trollied. Most exciting news of the night. Good choice.

:01:38. > :01:49.We will move on to the NHS. 19 NHS hospitals face closure splashed

:01:50. > :01:53.across the front page of the i. 19 hospitals facing closure is a

:01:54. > :02:01.shocking statistic in a range of data that the i have got here. It is

:02:02. > :02:06.the sustainability and transformation plans for the NHS,

:02:07. > :02:10.which we are told six out of ten people have never heard of. It is

:02:11. > :02:18.the biggest shake-up in a generation of the NHS by March 2021 but due to

:02:19. > :02:24.be finalised in April. Nobody has heard of it and campaigners are

:02:25. > :02:30.questioning its legality. So patient groups haven't been consulted and

:02:31. > :02:33.the public haven't been consulted? We don't even necessarily know what

:02:34. > :02:38.is going on and it is hard to unpick. But the topline seems to be

:02:39. > :02:43.19 NHS hospital closures and steering care back into the

:02:44. > :02:47.community away from the emergency wards. And talk about virtual

:02:48. > :02:52.doctors. In one case, potentially using libraries to see patients

:02:53. > :02:59.within communities. Are there even any libraries left, you have to

:03:00. > :03:02.lass? It might be a brilliant idea. The i says it is covering this on

:03:03. > :03:10.seven pages. No one has heard of this. On the one hand, credit where

:03:11. > :03:14.it is due, you as a newspaper person will tell me, this is an

:03:15. > :03:23.old-fashioned scoop. No doubt about that. That is one side of it. 19

:03:24. > :03:27.hospitals, including five major acute hospitals are marked for

:03:28. > :03:31.closure to plug this ?22 billion black hole in funding. It may come

:03:32. > :03:39.as a shock to people in places like St Helier, Epsom, Croydon and

:03:40. > :03:43.Kingston, Ealing and that is just in the South before you get to the

:03:44. > :03:48.Black Country and Bournemouth and Poole. That their hospitals are

:03:49. > :03:54.under threat tonight. That is what we are talking about. Remodelling

:03:55. > :04:03.the NHS in England after analysis of 44 regional plans. The heart of the

:04:04. > :04:09.NHS is to move, if these plans were to be developed, from the hospital

:04:10. > :04:16.closer to the patients, to the community with some notable

:04:17. > :04:21.exceptions. More big centres, for example, something close to some

:04:22. > :04:29.others, stroke units are going to be centralised more than they are. And

:04:30. > :04:34.that, it is presumed, will be good news for stroke sufferers. Likewise,

:04:35. > :04:38.we are told for other services, major trauma services. More

:04:39. > :04:45.specialist units dealing with that one or two crucial issues. You have

:04:46. > :04:49.all the specialisms in one place, on the face of it, it makes sense but

:04:50. > :04:55.there has been no consultation according to the i and that is the

:04:56. > :05:00.bizarre thing. Also the mention there will be a loss of more than

:05:01. > :05:06.3000 jobs to create a smaller, more agile workforce. You don't have to

:05:07. > :05:12.be a genius to suggest this will cause a row to end all rows,

:05:13. > :05:19.politically. We wonder if the NHS can take any more. But this could be

:05:20. > :05:23.round the corner. The Telegraph. A cancer pill being denied to half a

:05:24. > :05:30.million women and this is because GPs don't know this pill actually

:05:31. > :05:36.works for cancer? It is a next-door Rene -- extraordinary story. It

:05:37. > :05:44.should be prescribed to women who have a medium to high risk of breast

:05:45. > :05:48.cancer, those who have a family risk, half a million people but

:05:49. > :05:53.doctors don't seem to be prescribing it. 24% of doctors, University

:05:54. > :05:57.College London has found in its research, were aware of the guidance

:05:58. > :06:03.but not doing it. It is a drug that could reduce the chances of breast

:06:04. > :06:08.cancer. You take it every day for five years protection can last for

:06:09. > :06:15.two decades. Imagine the benefits to the NHS, as well as plenty of lives.

:06:16. > :06:19.Why aren't they prescribing it? The medical profession, the defence of

:06:20. > :06:23.this would surely be, the medical profession, the right tablets and

:06:24. > :06:28.the right treatment is moving on at such a pace, hang on a minute, I

:06:29. > :06:33.might be a GP who has been working for 30 years, no wonder they are all

:06:34. > :06:39.retiring early, or we told lots of them are. The worrying thing, in the

:06:40. > :06:45.very first paragraph of this story it says, GPs are unaware they be

:06:46. > :06:49.providing this drug. That is extraordinary. It is bizarre because

:06:50. > :06:54.the story goes on to say that The Tablet is only licensed for treating

:06:55. > :06:57.breast cancer. If they are unaware they should be prescribing it for

:06:58. > :07:06.breast cancer patients, very confused. It is a very odd story.

:07:07. > :07:10.Staying with the Telegraph, David, the Bank of England behind the

:07:11. > :07:14.Co-op's sale. Apparently they don't have a deep enough war chest for bad

:07:15. > :07:21.times and their capital fund is not deep enough. So they will flog the

:07:22. > :07:27.place? That is the role of the Bank of England to tell us when the

:07:28. > :07:31.banks, individual banks are in some difficulty, or might be in some

:07:32. > :07:37.difficulty, in terms of the new capital rules that were introduced

:07:38. > :07:42.after all the problems of 2008. But the problem with the Co-op bank,

:07:43. > :07:46.some of us have a lot of time for it and its customers, as far as we can

:07:47. > :07:52.see, this talk about the excellent service, the customer service they

:07:53. > :07:58.get, is the brand, the Co-op bank brands, the perception of the Co-op

:07:59. > :08:05.bank, suffered enormously in 2008 and various other personal events

:08:06. > :08:14.closer to the former chairman since. And for a bank to recover its image,

:08:15. > :08:22.it's perception is immensely hard, ask RBS. Sure, but those who are

:08:23. > :08:28.with the Co-op, they see it as vital to why they bank with it. I

:08:29. > :08:36.interviewed a guy this evening he was saying, look, there will be

:08:37. > :08:39.takers out there who have the same ethical responsibilities and the

:08:40. > :08:43.same ethos as the Co-op. If not, then sell it to the customers

:08:44. > :08:50.themselves, which has happened before in France. I should think the

:08:51. > :08:55.Co-op's bank 4 million customers are in fear of it being bought up by

:08:56. > :08:59.another bank and being consumed. They are very loyal to the brand,

:09:00. > :09:05.but they must be worried. We got the stage the first half of last year it

:09:06. > :09:09.had ?177 million of losses. They don't have the full figures but they

:09:10. > :09:13.are expecting significantly more and hedge fund managers and the owners

:09:14. > :09:18.are refusing to put more money into it because they don't think it is

:09:19. > :09:23.liable. Whoever buys it will have two strong club tens of millions

:09:24. > :09:28.just to deepen those rainy day pockets that are needed by banks

:09:29. > :09:37.these days. Who is going to buy it? Good question. The Guardian,

:09:38. > :09:39.President Trump and Prime Minister Trudeau, behind-the-scenes, two

:09:40. > :09:47.very, very different characters. Pretty much chalk and cheese, it has

:09:48. > :09:50.to be said. But in front of the cameras, trying to find common

:09:51. > :09:57.ground on a range of issues. An interesting meeting? Like you say,

:09:58. > :10:00.different men and trying to be diplomatic, especially in this

:10:01. > :10:08.picture, which you are probably aware has gone viral online and

:10:09. > :10:15.there is lots of things appearing. I do want to take your hand, he is

:10:16. > :10:23.about to shake his hand. He did it with a woman Prime Minister didn't

:10:24. > :10:26.he, a few weeks ago. He did indeed. I think the New York Times said

:10:27. > :10:32.Justin Trudeau was mentally going through the pros and cons in his

:10:33. > :10:35.head. It was a diplomatic meeting, both treading carefully. Justin

:10:36. > :10:39.Trudeau saying he is not going to lecture Trott, that is not his job

:10:40. > :10:45.and that is not what the Canadian people would want him to do. --

:10:46. > :10:50.Trump. But they have shaken hands. Perhaps they did achieve something.

:10:51. > :10:59.One of the other papers as Ivanka Trump meeting with Justin Trudeau.

:11:00. > :11:03.We are told the neighbouring countries, the two countries have

:11:04. > :11:07.launched a new task force called the United States Canada Council for the

:11:08. > :11:15.advancement of women business leaders female entrepreneurs. I got

:11:16. > :11:19.that out! Very catchy. I should have put all those letters together.

:11:20. > :11:24.Ivanka Trump, she is right in the heart of what is going on in that

:11:25. > :11:29.Administration. Justin Trudeau is sat next to her on the front of the

:11:30. > :11:34.Telegraph. The continuing problem with the Trump family, she has a

:11:35. > :11:39.massive business. If she is part of trade initiatives, considering she

:11:40. > :11:43.has a huge business, is there a conflict of interest? Potentially,

:11:44. > :11:47.we are told it was her who secured the female executive members of this

:11:48. > :11:52.new group and is at the centre of it. Potentially she could be

:11:53. > :12:00.criticised. Huffington Post, I think we can ring this up on our monitors.

:12:01. > :12:06.Pension rise to be despite people who are retired being better off

:12:07. > :12:12.than working household, confirms Theresa May, David? I heard about

:12:13. > :12:22.this story today. As a person, as I seem to rather to regularly on this

:12:23. > :12:26.slot, on BBC News, of a certain age, successive governments, let's be

:12:27. > :12:39.fair to the baby boomers generation... Why? Because we should

:12:40. > :12:43.be. Because you are one of them. Successive governments have, at

:12:44. > :12:49.last, in the past ten years reverse generations of not looking after the

:12:50. > :12:54.elderly. Some of us would argue. I am surprised by this story the

:12:55. > :13:02.Number Ten spokesman is confirming that Theresa May is going to keep

:13:03. > :13:12.this triple lock. It is a manifesto commitment and it will be kept.

:13:13. > :13:16.People must be aware, the other thing I always associate, when I

:13:17. > :13:20.first saw this story, was about savings. You associate older people

:13:21. > :13:27.with savings. Unless I am mistaken, savings rates for the past few years

:13:28. > :13:32.have been horrendous. Absolutely dreadful. That is an important

:13:33. > :13:35.point. The other point is, it is not necessarily pension is getting

:13:36. > :13:43.richer, it is the rest of us are getting... Your age always comes up.

:13:44. > :13:48.We are getting poorer. It is stagnant wages and the triple lock

:13:49. > :13:54.that have affected this. Also, someone else as a certain age, just

:13:55. > :13:58.a millennial, it is an important story. We are the first generation

:13:59. > :14:06.who will not be wealthy. Are you angry about this? I am angry. I am

:14:07. > :14:13.angry for you and my daughters and grandchildren. We thank the baby

:14:14. > :14:17.boomers for their concern. Nobody is happy about this outcome. Should the

:14:18. > :14:24.triple lock stay there? I think it will go. Whether it should, I

:14:25. > :14:29.suspect our successes in ten or 15 years will be having the opposite

:14:30. > :14:38.conversation. I don't think it is sustainable. On election day, you

:14:39. > :14:43.get up and go and vote. Claire is watching Watford on telly. I hope

:14:44. > :14:50.your generation will get out there and vote. That will have to be part

:14:51. > :14:54.of it. It has been good having you with us looking at the stories. But

:14:55. > :15:04.it now, don't forget you can see front pages on the BBC News website.

:15:05. > :15:10.If you have missed the programme, you can watch it later on at your

:15:11. > :15:13.leisure with a glass of wine on the iPlayer. Thank you to my guests and

:15:14. > :15:21.to you for watching. Goodbye.
