26/07/2017 The Papers

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

With me are the former pensions minister Baroness Ros Altmann

The Metro leads with the funeral of the youngest victim

of the Manchester bombing eight-year-old Saffie Roussos.

Britain may "walk away from EU talks" according to the Express

minister warn if Brussell refuse to back down on the rule

The Daily Star features the wildfires on the French Riveria

where 10,000 people have fled the terrifying blaze.

The Telegraph leads with the story that GP's are being urged to stop

telling patients they must finish all their prescribed course

of tablets as it is driving up drug resistance.

The Mail claims that judges arebeing accused

And finally The Guardian leads with the government's new clean air

policy which is says is being branded as "weak

and inadequate" by the leaders of eight heavily polluted cities.

Let's dip into some of them. But speed we will kick off with and what

Donald Trump is saying about transgender people and services.

This is astonishing, and not surprising that a number of people

in America are saying, how can policy be made this way? He's the

commander-in-chief but you cannot just say, I am going to decide who

serves in the Army, just me, one person. Basically, what Donald

Trumps seems to be saying is that if you are a transgender person somehow

you are not fit to serve in the US military. I note that one of the

Navy SEALs who served 20 years he was in the group that went to rescue

the enlarged and, I believe, or in that same type of unit won the

bronze start, the purple heart, he is saying -- they are saying let's

meanie that President straight -- says let me meet this person face to

face. What is interesting is that in this case he is pandering to the

conservative Republican base, remember elsewhere despite what

Trump has been tweeting from three o'clock every morning his policy so

far have not worked, Obamacare is still there. It has not been

removed, in this case the Republican, conservatives have

always said that medical costs and disruption, that is the reason he

has given. To a certain extent by firing this off without working out

how the policy would work he is I think saying, don't worry I'm still

doing things that will please you. And there are transgender people in

the services now who don't know what will happen. And what, do they get

dismissed from tomorrow, who knows? He is actually said that transgender

individuals can serve in any capacity, what will they do, sacked

the being transgender? Added that work? Also, he says we must focus on

overwhelming and decisive victory the implication being that you

cannot have victory with transgender people. I think that is why

Christian Black is saying, let me meet you and tell you I'm not

worthy. If that happens no doubt it will get some coverage. The Daily

Express says that Britain is ready to quit EU talks. This relates to

the rights of EU citizens in this country after Brexit and of course

British citizens in the EU and what the European Commission is saying is

that there is dispute about it, it has to go to some mechanism to be

sorted out. And the European Court of Justice should be that and the

problem here is that you have to have some sort of arbitration

procedure and some sort of procedure and one can easily see that there

will be questioned people not being allowed to do something, wanting to

go into some sort legal think will stop you cannot just say we issued

an order and you can't challenge it, that is not very the way our system

works. And mysterious senior minister. I wonder who it is,

couldn't possibly be a Brexitier audit. It is not just the citizens

it is but trains and nuclear, if you're part of an international

agreement, the idea that your courts can only arbitrate and it seems

strange. British judges sit on the European Court of Justice this isn't

a European stitch up. I think there is a bit of an accession with this

European Court of Justice issue, clearly we want to make sure that in

most areas are courts make our laws and govern what we do, but when we

are involved with international agreement on a global landscape it

seems difficult to tell people that actually, so you are courts are the

only ones that we trust. How do solve pursuits? They're talking

about international arbitration what is the difference? On the front of

the Telegraph, this is intriguing we have all been told to finish the

book was on antibiotics but now suddenly apparently not. That seems

to be the view of the number of scientists who suggest that the

resistance that is causing such a problem to antibiotics and the

concerns that, at some point, antibiotic simply won't work and

people might die of diseases we have not got any cure for, the typical

advice is, even if you feel better after a day or two, usually you

will, the eventual... If you stop the antibiotics then you will

perhaps cause another infection which becomes resistant and they

will not BO to treat it. There seems to be a split opinion the Chief

medical officers are saying, let's not change our advice. Most people

will be confused and it did seem logical, to me, that we should

finish the course, the courses typically not very long. The figures

the newspaper has is that 12,000 people buy of antibiotic resistant

every year in this country, more than from breast cancer. And that

figure was going up. The point is that the use of antibiotics right

through really dates back to, Alexander Fleming discover of

penicillin saying use it and use as much as possible. Probably, things

have to move on, to a certain extent, there was a split opinion

but I think we do need to discuss and look at this issue. I think that

is what we will be doing but at the moment they tend to on the side of

taking it longer rather than starting to see which sort of makes

sense to me but let's see what further evidence shows. Also on the

Telegraph. Driving electric cars well with the actress to come from?

That is the whole question how will regenerate the increased

electricity, the Telegraph saying it would require 10,000 new wind

turbines because we will have to do have something like 26 million...

You look unconvinced by this argument. The Earle I have to

confess I have an electric car and I love it. -- I have to confess. They

are saying that if everybody has the charge that electric car at Pete

Colley may not have enough power, but most people, and certainly the

way I drive and people I know who have electric cars to live is that

you charge the car overnight, you planned the grid so that people will

come home and the electricity will be fed out over a period of time so

it uses the electricity while you are asleep. Who will monitor that,

the European Court of Justice? It can be sorted out by the great.

These things need to be planned. The story here also has a point that the

policy has been announced but we have not had the details of how the

casting would work out, to a certain extent that the valid we need more

infrastructure, charging points around the country and so on. The

Times, not the front foot page two, this is care homes and top-up fees

the people who would normally qualify via their council to be

looked after in a care home. This is another aspect of our care crisis,

our social system is in milk down and not fit for purpose. -- is in

meltdown. What is happening here is that people are qualifying accounts

will help, the council is paying for them to be in a care home, however

the council is not paying enough. So, the care home is coming to the

family and saying "Well, we need to ask you to pay. " Either the

relative to stay there all the wing or the council will only pay for a

home that is further away if you want your love once lived near you,

of course most families would that. Then, actually our home will be more

expensive than the council the grid. This is a big issue that is only

going to get worse. It is part of the bigger problem. According to

this story some of the care homes are asking for more money which they

can only ask on a voluntary basis and then telling the people, don't

tell the council. Outrages. This is part of the whole wide issue, had we

look after elderly people who need care and hard we provide them. This

is an issue we really have not discussed as a nation. There is no

money set aside. We need have a real discussion because in a sense of

family structure that in a the past looked after older people. Councils

are not paying enough to look after people at a decent level and that is

something that cannot be right in a civilised society. Time one more

let's give the Daily Mail, an extraordinary image. People sleeping

on the beat in the South of France but not doing so because they want

to but because they have to do. Yes, and these are the sort of pictures

you get from Australia in the summer. You do not expect them from

the south of France. This is quite an astonishing scene, something from

out of the movie. Look at how close the smile is -- look at how close

the fire is. They've been breaching the three days, people have to leave

their homes and if you are in a campsite you will not stay there,

you do not want to burn... At the end of the day, you would rather be

safe and sleep on the beach. The Riviera is quite nice. Not in those

circumstances. Batters it, thank you very much indeed. -- that is it.

Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.

Thank you Baroness Ros Altmann and Mihir Bose.

Good evening, where the day of two halves the most of you today. One of

our weather watchers summed up nicely, the
