Hello and welcome to our look ahead
to what the the papers will be | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
bringing us tomorrow. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
With me are the former pensions
minister Baroness Ros Altmann | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
and the writer and broadcaster Mihir
Bose. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:30 | |
Good to see you both. Let us
start... | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
The FT reports that Carillion
was cash-strapped at the end. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
It held just 29 million pounds left
before it collapsed. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
"Taking the Piste" is
the headline in the Metro. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
It says whilst workers face
redundancy the former | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
Chief Executive of the company
is living it up | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
in a luxury ski home. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
The Daily Telegraph says
Poppi Worthington's mother | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
may finally see justice
after the coroner in the case urged | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
prosecutors to to carry out
a fresh investigation | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
into the toddler's death. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
The Express is angered
by the French President's call | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
for the UK to take in more migrants
from Calais and pay more | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
for border security. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
While the I has a different take
on the thorny issue of migration, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
reporting that the NHS is losing
doctors, because red tape | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
is stopping qualified
migrants getting in... | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
A senior Scotland Yard detective
is urging that five year old's | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
should be taught the dangers
of knife crime, that's | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
the lead in The Guardian. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
And finally, The Daily Mail says
the Prime Minister is to appoint | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
what it describes as a Minister
for the Lonely. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:33 | |
There's no one big story dominating
the headlines for our guests | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
to sink their teeth into. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
It's really a mixed bag
of front page news... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
But the shock of the collapse
of Carillion is still reverberating | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
and that's where we start
on the front page of | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
the Financial Times... | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
Cash strapped Karelian held just £29
million in its final days, they had | 0:01:53 | 0:01:59 | |
£16 billion worth of orders on the
books? And the way the accounting | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
seems to have been managed, Cash was
just not coming in fast enough. They | 0:02:02 | 0:02:09 | |
were trying to move things around in
different bits of the company. It | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
had a very complex structure but at
the end of the day the company seems | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
to have been so broke to the firm 's
auditors were approached to | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
administer it decided they did not
want to get involved because they | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
thought they would not be enough
money to pay them. This company | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
seems to have managed to have fool a
lot of people. They had seen on I | 0:02:28 | 0:02:41 | |
page 150 or something that actually
a lot of the bills were not being | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
paid, they had booked the orders and
delivered some goods but it was not | 0:02:47 | 0:02:53 | |
being paid. Sometimes because
customers said it had not been | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
delivered properly, or it just
wasn't being managed right. It's a | 0:02:55 | 0:03:03 | |
good example, the classic story that
if you borrowed so much money from | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
the bank the banks can't let you
fail. Too big to fail, Donald Trump | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
knows that. But career Leon when to
25 million from five bankers, like a | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
football squad, three of the bankers
said no, to said we would. In a way | 0:03:16 | 0:03:26 | |
that people who we say mismanage the
company clearly did because they | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
said we can go on, the banks will
not allow us to fail. This whole | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
business of public and private as
well, a private company allowed to | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
have public sector projects and the
government is going to pay for | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
public sector workers. They must
keep working. That's a bit unfair | 0:03:40 | 0:03:46 | |
when you have private sector workers
also working who are probably facing | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
a very hard time. And lots of small
companies who will go out of | 0:03:49 | 0:03:55 | |
business. 1000 people apparently
already connected with the company | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
not directly but you could be
affected. The emphasis seems to be | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
moving on to the managers at the top
of this company. The Metro has a | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
fairly salty headline, taking the
piste. This is the chief executive, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:21 | |
a luxury ski home with six bedrooms
and an indoor Paul. He is in hot | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
water. I am taking the piste now!
They cannot actually find him, he is | 0:04:26 | 0:04:39 | |
either in his Yorkshire home or his
French ski chalets. They are making | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
the point that it might cost
taxpayers 600 million, and already a | 0:04:42 | 0:04:50 | |
lot of redundancies being announced
in these smaller firms that supply | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
Carillion, so obviously not one fact
has started straightaway. The people | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
at the very top were getting bonuses
and big dividend pay-outs, not too | 0:04:58 | 0:05:05 | |
long before this company collapsed.
Greg Clark has very quickly ordered | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
a fast track investigation into the
conduct of the directors, and he | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
wanted extended to pass directors,
not just current directors, because | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
clearly we need to identify what
went wrong, what happened, how | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
directors were behaving. The company
kept increasing its dividends even | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
though the business was not doing
well enough. It also had a big | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
pension deficit which it was not
taken Carol. -- it was not taking | 0:05:32 | 0:05:39 | |
care of. It does not look good and
we need to get to the bottom of what | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
happened. We have not learned any
lessons from the 2008 crash. The | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
same thing with the banks. Let's see
what they find. Moving on to the | 0:05:47 | 0:05:54 | |
Telegraph, the main story that a
coroner has urged the Crown | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
Prosecution Service to reopen the
case of the death of Poppy | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Worthington, the 13-month-old
toddler who died of this fixation | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
about four years ago. And it could
well be that we see a reopening of | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
that case, but at the bottom of
that, Boris. He reckons £100 million | 0:06:12 | 0:06:19 | |
a week for the NHS is necessary or
the Tories will lose the next | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
election. Given that the Leeds side
promised people they would have £350 | 0:06:22 | 0:06:29 | |
million a week potentially available
for the NHS -- the leave aside, you | 0:06:29 | 0:06:36 | |
would think 100 million may not
satisfy. But calling for any sum of | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
money strikes me as being strange.
Of course we have to celebrate the | 0:06:40 | 0:06:49 | |
NHS but we must also recognise we're
not getting extra money as a result | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
of leaving the EU. It's not how it
is turning out. We have already seen | 0:06:52 | 0:06:59 | |
the Chancellor said we will have to
pay 3.7 billion... He's a remain a! | 0:06:59 | 0:07:05 | |
That's the thing, we are putting
aside. We must spend more money on | 0:07:05 | 0:07:13 | |
the NHS but when they can find it as
a result of Brexit is a doubt. He | 0:07:13 | 0:07:21 | |
gave an interview in the Guardian
saying he got the figure wrong, it | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
was much more! Interesting there was
a divided between the Johnson | 0:07:24 | 0:07:31 | |
Leavers and the barrage Leavers,
barrage has always said it was not | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
that figure. -- Nigel Farage
Leavers. The point being made is | 0:07:34 | 0:07:41 | |
that his party need to focus on the
NHS, that is the big issue in voters | 0:07:41 | 0:07:47 | |
minds, potential voters, now.
Particularly as a result of winter | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
crisis and the Tories have to get
real with that. It's a position for | 0:07:50 | 0:07:57 | |
him to make sure he's on the right
line to succeed Theresa May when she | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
goes. Maybe it is. We can't fix the
NHS without fixing social care, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:07 | |
offering money isn't enough also we
have to sort out NHS, it's clear. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:14 | |
Onto the Daily Express, French tell
us, take more migrants. Outrageous | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
demands to give homes to refugees
from Calais! The Daily Express | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
pretty exercised about this. That is
the headline that actually the | 0:08:22 | 0:08:28 | |
Macron speech they have printed is
not about taking more migrants, | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
Macron is saying Britain have to pay
more for the arrangements, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
immigration arrangements we already
have Calais. Maybe the implication | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
is that if they don't pay more we
were policed them, but the words of | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
the French president saying we will
actually do more but Britain has to | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
pay more, so the Daily Express is
implying something that the French | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
president may not have said. When
was the last time you saw a headline | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
that actually matched the story? In
any newspaper? Let's be real. They | 0:08:56 | 0:09:03 | |
do sometimes, but what's important
here is that there is a two K | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
agreement we currently have where
France has agreed to help us police | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
our innovation so they do it at
partly their expense, and what they | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
are now saying is, we gave you
special arrangements because we were | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
working together as part of the EU,
what we are now saying is we can't | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
give the special arrangements, you
have to pay more for this kind of | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
checks and we are not sure why we
should check your immigrants in our | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
country, you should check them
yourself. Historically that used to | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
be part of this country so maybe we
should reclaim it! LAUGHTER That's | 0:09:35 | 0:09:41 | |
another discussion. Flip side of the
migration story, not enough trained | 0:09:41 | 0:09:48 | |
doctors coming in. NHS losing
doctors to migration red tape. We | 0:09:48 | 0:09:54 | |
know there is a shortage,
particularly in the NHS and this | 0:09:54 | 0:09:59 | |
again shows that the question is of
immigration as if it is an EU | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
immigration issue, actually many of
the doctors come from non-EU | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
countries. We have a whole red tape
problem there. Within the problems | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
in the NHS it shows we have several
issues to sort out over immigration, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
not just a question of numbers, but
of who we want, how soon can we get | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
the people we want, it's a very
serious question. I think the | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
government is a little court here
because the referendum vote clearly | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
signals that the country is not
comfortable with a high level of | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
immigration at the moment. They feel
we need to slow down for a while so | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
the government has put a cap on the
number of people who can come into | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
the country, but what's happened is
because of the cat we can't take in | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
as many doctors as we need because
we have already reached the cap, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
then you have to stop taking more
in. We need another national | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
conversation on some of the issues
and where the public actually want | 0:10:54 | 0:11:00 | |
the government to clamp down or not.
Moving on to the Daily Mail... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
Minister for the lonely. In a sad
reflection of modern Britain when 9 | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
million live in isolation and
200,000 elderly go weeks without | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
talking to a friend or relative. I
think this is really important as a | 0:11:14 | 0:11:20 | |
social issue. The Prime Minister is
right to appoint somebody to look at | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
this, Tracy Karachi was the sports
Minister. She could not have been | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
very lonely. To look into this
issue. This is also part of the | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
social care problem, 200,000 elderly
people in this country go for weeks | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
without seeing anybody on talking to
anybody. The councils have had to | 0:11:39 | 0:11:45 | |
cut meals on wheels, they have had
to withdraw some of the clubs that | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
used to be available to older
people, they have cut the care for | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
people with may be moderate needs,
so you may not be too well that you | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
are just on your own at home. This
is a big issue so I hope with all | 0:11:59 | 0:12:06 | |
this together, this new ministerial
position will be able to look at how | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
we can integrate people who are on
their own batter into communities. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:15 | |
Seems like a decent idea. She will
give a CD of Roy Orbison's great | 0:12:15 | 0:12:22 | |
song, Only the Lonely. That will be
her first task. I don't know whether | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
to laugh or cry! It is a bit
worrying, you are quite right, it's | 0:12:27 | 0:12:33 | |
a whole social problem which are not
sure having a minister solves it. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
It's a much deeper problem if there
are so many lonely people. Across | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
departments. Across the whole social
framework of our society. Families | 0:12:42 | 0:12:49 | |
living apart and someone. Inside the
Daily Mail, we love our animals. Ms | 0:12:49 | 0:12:59 | |
utterly help when it comes to
loneliness as well. Who one of pop | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
Idol? Britain's top ten favourite
breeds of dog revealed. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
The Labrador number one. The second
is interesting, a mixed breed. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:17 | |
That's quite interesting. In mixed
breed that has come second in the | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
poll. He would not have expected...
The Jack Russells bird, and | 0:13:22 | 0:13:29 | |
Staffordshire bull terrier of
course. Labrador is also, so | 0:13:29 | 0:13:36 | |
gorgeous, and of course they are
used for guide dogs. They are very | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
gentle, very intelligent and you can
rely on them. And they make you feel | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
very comfortable, they make you feel
reassured. I had a Labrador for many | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
years and I adored her. You are so
soft! I am a cat man myself. Which | 0:13:48 | 0:13:59 | |
breed? No idea. It's black and
white. Thank you so much for looking | 0:13:59 | 0:14:07 | |
