Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:14.:00:16.

With me are Caroline Wheeler, deputy political editor

:00:17.:00:21.

of the Sunday Times, and Ben Chu, economics

:00:22.:00:22.

"US threatens North Korea with force" is the i's headline

:00:23.:00:35.

as potential military action is discussed at the UN

:00:36.:00:37.

The Guardian leads on news that 13,000 nursing homes in England

:00:38.:00:42.

are failing safety standards laid down by the Care Quality Commission.

:00:43.:00:47.

The Telegraph has the same story, reporting that one in four elderly

:00:48.:00:50.

The front page picture is of a swarm of flying ants descending

:00:51.:00:57.

The Metro leads on what the paper calls the first jihadi

:00:58.:01:04.

jail in a UK prison - it's aim is to try and to stop

:01:05.:01:07.

dangerous extremists radicalising other inmates.

:01:08.:01:11.

Volvo's decision to switch to electric for all models by 2019

:01:12.:01:14.

The FT leads with a shake-up in the management of

:01:15.:01:19.

The front page picture is of President Xi Jinping

:01:20.:01:26.

and Angela Merkel at today's panda handover in Berlin.

:01:27.:01:32.

And the new all-electric Volvos make the front of the Daily Mail.

:01:33.:01:39.

Also a picture of a victorious Johanna Konta who won a hard-fought

:01:40.:01:45.

match to get to the third round of Wimbledon. Surviving the flying ants

:01:46.:01:52.

Hart let's kick off. This story about care homes in the Daily

:01:53.:01:57.

Telegraph, dominating a couple of papers. Yes, the Care Quality

:01:58.:02:01.

Commission's report looking at the standard of care in care homes and

:02:02.:02:06.

some of the results are quite shocking. One in four of them seem

:02:07.:02:12.

to have a disparity, some say it is one in three, saying that they are

:02:13.:02:18.

unsafe and that poor leadership and staff shortages mean that residence

:02:19.:02:22.

in a quarter of facilities are going weeks without being cleaned and are

:02:23.:02:25.

served dangerous levels of medication which sounds particularly

:02:26.:02:30.

shocking. Social care has been a story that has never been far from

:02:31.:02:35.

the front pages over the last couple of months and years because there

:02:36.:02:39.

has been an historic underfunding of social care. And during the election

:02:40.:02:48.

campaign. With the dementia tax. One thing with this crisis, the

:02:49.:02:51.

introduction of the National Living Wage which has put pressure on care

:02:52.:02:56.

homes and has put a number out of business because they haven't been

:02:57.:03:01.

able to afford to exist. Labour are going to play politics with the

:03:02.:03:04.

report and say it puts rocket fuel under what they have said, that the

:03:05.:03:09.

issue of social care and its funding is something the government is not

:03:10.:03:13.

very keen to want to talk about given the dementia care row. It

:03:14.:03:20.

needs to be addressed. The Care Quality Commission officials

:03:21.:03:23.

advising people when selecting a care home to check the smell of the

:03:24.:03:26.

home, that is rather alarming. Not what you want to hear. Caroline

:03:27.:03:33.

Abrahams of the charity age UK is like -- says it is like playing

:03:34.:03:37.

Russian roulette when you go to a care home. One in three, one in four

:03:38.:03:43.

chance of getting a bad care home, it is actually worse odds than

:03:44.:03:49.

Russian roulette. The financial stresses in this sector are huge.

:03:50.:03:53.

The cuts that have been passed down to local authorities since 2010

:03:54.:03:56.

because of the National Living Wage, the volume of older people in

:03:57.:04:04.

society is putting huge pressure. It is becoming like the NHS, the

:04:05.:04:07.

pressures are so big that they will have to confront it. This isn't a

:04:08.:04:12.

job or a career that has been particularly loved and of course

:04:13.:04:16.

there are a number of people who see it as a last resort rather than a

:04:17.:04:21.

viable and exciting career. It is difficult to get the really

:04:22.:04:26.

interested people in this sector into the jobs because there has been

:04:27.:04:30.

no obvious career progression in the sector. Speaking of spending,

:04:31.:04:35.

Theresa May defending austerity as she faces calls to keep the purse

:04:36.:04:39.

strings tight. Also in the Daily Telegraph. Quite a cute cabinet

:04:40.:04:43.

ministers seem to be pushing against austerity but now it has gone the

:04:44.:04:50.

other way -- quite a few. Theresa May hasn't really talked about

:04:51.:04:54.

austerity. There was a quotation where she said there was no magic

:04:55.:04:58.

money tree to give people pay rises but that was quite rare, she wanted

:04:59.:05:04.

to move the agenda onto her agenda but this is a switch back in Prime

:05:05.:05:08.

Minister's Questions, recycling a lot of lines that she heard -- we

:05:09.:05:13.

heard in the coalition under Cameron and Osborne say that if we don't get

:05:14.:05:17.

control of the deficit we will be like Greece, the economy will spiral

:05:18.:05:22.

out of control and we will have no money to spend on the NHS for public

:05:23.:05:26.

services. Going back to the old line. It looks even more out of date

:05:27.:05:32.

because few economists think we are going to turn into Greece overnight

:05:33.:05:38.

with a deficit of 3%, which is lower than it was, and low interest rates.

:05:39.:05:42.

Interesting to see if it works. Trying to stamp out the notion that

:05:43.:05:51.

there is a row, whether it is the Chancellor who is pushing against

:05:52.:05:54.

it, and where she stands in the debate and it seems that she has

:05:55.:05:59.

come out and put her position on it. Number ten were trying to rail back

:06:00.:06:05.

on this and say this was not a decision to be made for now, saying

:06:06.:06:09.

that they would not be talking about this before a major fiscal event. A

:06:10.:06:14.

lot of toing and froing but you wonder if this will be the end of it

:06:15.:06:19.

or it will go to a second week. What about America, the FT have a story

:06:20.:06:25.

about the American economy? The Federal reserve thinks that the

:06:26.:06:30.

economy is strong enough to start withdrawing the monetary stimulus

:06:31.:06:36.

whereas the debate here, whether Brexit can take it, America seems

:06:37.:06:39.

confident it can. Already putting up interest rates and now they are

:06:40.:06:44.

going to withdraw some of the asset purchases, selling back these

:06:45.:06:47.

mortgage and treasury bonds that they acquired to boost the American

:06:48.:06:51.

economy. They are going to wind it down. A bit of a split on the

:06:52.:06:56.

Federal committee deciding this but essentially they are going to start

:06:57.:07:02.

doing it. This will be a federal moment when they start winding down

:07:03.:07:07.

the balance sheet. It will signal, if successful, that America is

:07:08.:07:11.

moving out of the crisis are in terms of monetary policy. Talking of

:07:12.:07:15.

America and crises, they are threatening North Korea with force

:07:16.:07:21.

and the UN are meeting to discuss the whole North Korea launching of

:07:22.:07:26.

that ballistic missile test. That's right, it is going to be a response,

:07:27.:07:30.

there will be a world responds and we can expect to see more as Theresa

:07:31.:07:36.

May goes out to meet with the world leaders at the G20 in Hamburg. The

:07:37.:07:47.

US are saying they will respond with force but don't rule out other

:07:48.:07:52.

measures. Interesting to see how the world is bonds, especially in

:07:53.:07:57.

relation to China. We will see more in the coming days. In the Times

:07:58.:08:03.

newspaper there is a picture of a very happy looking Kim Jong-un

:08:04.:08:05.

celebrating the launch of the missile which he says was an

:08:06.:08:11.

Independence Day gift for the United States. Very provocative and you

:08:12.:08:17.

have to wonder who this general he is hiding is as enthusiastic as he

:08:18.:08:20.

is. You have to wonder, given how he treats his staff. Although's

:08:21.:08:27.

decision to signal the end of the road for diesel and petrol, in many

:08:28.:08:32.

papers, and have a stolen a march on their rivals? I think they have, it

:08:33.:08:38.

is very interesting. I think it symbolises the degree to which

:08:39.:08:43.

battery technology, the costs of it have fallen, that they feel prepared

:08:44.:08:48.

to make what is a bit of a gamble. The economics are working out in

:08:49.:08:52.

favour of hybrids and public opinion against diesel, that is another

:08:53.:08:55.

story, because everybody associates although with diesel cars, and for

:08:56.:09:02.

them to make this move is quite a moment. We've been expecting it and

:09:03.:09:06.

talking about it but this makes it more concrete. Especially on the

:09:07.:09:12.

back of the VW emissions scandal and how diesel drivers could get

:09:13.:09:17.

punished, especially in London, if they continue with those cars in big

:09:18.:09:23.

cities. The Metro has the UK's first he had a jail but we don't think

:09:24.:09:29.

this is a very new story? -- jihadi jail. We have heard about it before

:09:30.:09:35.

but we understand it is the first one that people have been moved

:09:36.:09:40.

into, in the last week. They won't actually named the prisoners who

:09:41.:09:43.

have been moved in although it is understood that Lee Rigby's killer

:09:44.:09:47.

is among them and suggestions that others have gone in. The notion

:09:48.:09:52.

behind this is that you have a jail with those very extreme prisoners

:09:53.:09:55.

who are together so there is less chance of them radicalising other

:09:56.:10:02.

people. A prison within a prison, and this is in County Durham. That's

:10:03.:10:08.

correct. Suggestions, concerns from the Prison Officers Association that

:10:09.:10:14.

it will make it like the situation in Northern Ireland, by segregating

:10:15.:10:17.

them, you glorify them to the other prisoners and it may backfire. We

:10:18.:10:23.

must tread carefully, we don't want that but it seems to make sense, if

:10:24.:10:27.

there is a danger of them radicalising others, to segregate

:10:28.:10:32.

them, so let's keep an eye on it. Going back to the FT, they have this

:10:33.:10:40.

story, bearing up, Angela Merkel and the Chinese president with a bit of

:10:41.:10:45.

panda diplomacy, providing us with lovely pictures of pandas all day

:10:46.:10:49.

but the serious point behind this is that this is a growing alliance

:10:50.:10:54.

between Germany and China. They have always had strong trade links, them

:10:55.:11:00.

German exporters are much more successful at getting into China

:11:01.:11:04.

than the UK ones. China loves giving pandas to other countries. There

:11:05.:11:10.

were more pandas in Scotland than there were Tory MPs once but that is

:11:11.:11:16.

no longer true! It is a nice cuddly story, head of the G20 when it is

:11:17.:11:22.

going to be tough, she will have to say uncomfortable things about all

:11:23.:11:27.

manner of things. Do you think they are "Pandering"? I think so! And a

:11:28.:11:41.

story about flying and is. Are you going to go to Wimbledon? I wouldn't

:11:42.:11:46.

be worried. Interesting that Johanna Konta says she might have swallowed

:11:47.:11:51.

some. She may have gone through to the third round so perhaps we need

:11:52.:11:57.

to get more of them. Apparently it is a plague of them. Who knew, this

:11:58.:12:05.

is known as flying and date, and it is a stage of their reproductive

:12:06.:12:09.

phase when they leave their colonies and go all over the place,

:12:10.:12:12.

apparently deciding to watch Wimbledon. Leaving the players and

:12:13.:12:18.

fans travelling to concentrate. I'm not sure if they would stop you

:12:19.:12:21.

concentrating. The you were trying to zone out.

:12:22.:12:32.

Good luck to the Brits playing in Wimbledon. Thanks for being with us.

:12:33.:12:39.
