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. |
