11:31 pm
at what's in tomorrow's papers. with me are laura hughes, political correspondent at the daily telegraph, and tom bergin, business correspondent at reuters. welcome to you both. thank you for being with us. let's start with a look at tomorrow's front pages. the telegraph focuses on the business rate rises due next year, calling them "crippling." the paper also features cycling champion sir bradley wiggins announcing his retirement. sir bradley's retirement also makes the guardian front page, and the paper also has an exclusive interview with labour leader jeremy corbyn, in which he accuses the prime minister of acting like henry viii. the government is considering plans to give child offenders lifelong anonymity, according to the times.
11:32 pm
and it also covers transport disruption across the uk due to freezing weather. the mail claims that people are wasting time putting christmas cards and wrapping in the recycling bin, as lots will end up in landfill. the daily express warns of "deadly" weather conditions over the new year, while highlighting an article on why nigel farage is the man of the year. and finally, the sun warns of a crisis in the nhs with waiting times of a month to see the doctor. we will go through all of those in a bit more detailed in the next few minutes. let's start off with jeremy corbyn comparing theresa may to henry viii. yes, i quite like he does this, bear this in mind in the context, labour strategists are trying to get his image as this rallying figure who stands up to authoritarian figures. this is about the royal per of it is, the powers of theresa may to trigger article 50
11:33 pm
without getting a vote from parliament —— royal prerogative. this is just before the recess when she was asked three times, will you give mpsa she was asked three times, will you give mps a vote in parliament, and she dodged it three times. in the end i think she said, i have said what i have said. it was all a bit vague. this row was going on, with the backdrop of the supreme court case, which is about the powers of theresa may or potentially david davis to officially trigger brexit, which she has said she would do by the end of march next year. theresa may as henry viii, quite an image? it is indeed, one good quote can make a story. yes, i mean, will we get the say on the final deal? jeremy corbyn says we should and indeed he has given more thoughts on an agreeable deal and what it might be to him. he is interestingly saying he seems to be comfortable
11:34 pm
with migration. he is making the case for it. he is saying that the negative impacts have been exaggerated. you could say in one sense he is positioning himself with respect to what he would like the final deal to look like. the other problem of course, as they make in the story, he is showing some fault lines in labour with other members of the party in favour of curbing immigration to protect their constituencies, they feel. so, it is interesting. they show the new strategies he will go with, including appearing on tv, and showing some fault lines in the party, so not plain sailing. sticking with theresa may and europe, the telegraph have a story that theresa may will put pulling out of the eu court of human rights at the heart of her campaign for the next general election in 2020, or maybe earlier. there are a lot of tory mps who wanted this and david cameron had a similar plan but i think they have realised it is too much with brexit as well. this is
11:35 pm
about a british bill of rights, getting britain out of the european court and enshrining laws into british laws. these suggested plans go further than what david cameron suggested because it would give the supreme court the ultimate say. theresa may has a famous history with the court because she tried to get out abu hamza and there were all sorts of issues with that and he is and whether or not she could keep him out of the country or if he could stay, so we know she personally feel strongly about, and i think she has the sense to realise now is not the time. it is interesting, come 2020, whether this will be an issue that has resonance with the population in 2020. who knows if the government will get that far. there is constant talk about snap general elections. if we get there, and we have had brexit, the nature of the deal with europe and how it has impacted the economy i suspect will be to the fore of voters' minds rather than the
11:36 pm
extradition of a hate speech preacher. quick look at the times, the main story about anonymity for child criminals. child offenders to be given lifelong anonymity according to plans considered by ministers. yeah, so, michael gove as justice secretary commissioned this review, concerned about the rates of reoffending, 67% of young people went on to reoffend, this was meant to look at whether this works and if the system is working. it is controversial for some peace. the system is working. it is controversialfor some peace. and tory mp has said the public has a right to know and are really serious crimes, who has committed them, but penal reformers will say that if it is not serious, for young people, their whole life is tarnished based on something they did as a child. we should treat children and adults differently. we always think of the james bond decays. yes, indeed. many groups can say, many people who
11:37 pm
study certain areas say this is different and we should hide it off and we have to look at how it impacts the whole —— james patrick bulger case. the reality is the english don't have the most public justice system in the world. go online and googled the details and you can't find it, unlike the us we have much more court cases available. many people don't want their court cases to be covered and alleged perpetrators to be named but there is a question of a slippery slope. and interesting story in the daily express about how barcodes, which you normally use when going around a supermarket, are being used in hospital operations to avoid mistakes. how does that work? so, yes, it is like going into a supermarket, well, ithink yes, it is like going into a supermarket, well, i think it is a really good idea, it is trialled in six hospitals, the idea is that they can track and hip replacement that
11:38 pm
has gone in. so, there is a barcode on your hip? so if something has gone wrong with it, they know where it has gone wrong, who put it in. they will take you when go in so you know who your doctor is. at the moment it is all done in paperform. you would think at the moment it is a good idea. sensible, do you think? absolutely, it is crazy that they rely on paper at the moment. there is the issue that people get metal put into them, they don't know what it is, and if there is a problem later on, they don't know what to blame, and these products are not re called blame, and these products are not recalled in the way they should do, fioi’ as recalled in the way they should do, nor as quickly. speaking of healthcare, the nor as quickly. speaking of healthca re, the sun nor as quickly. speaking of healthcare, the sun at a story, a month to see your gp, patients want they face months to see a family doctor, surgeries struggling with a winter surge in demand, is thatjust about winter demand, or is it the general crisis in the nhs? obviously it does pick but the system is well—designed and should flex to that but the problem is budgetary
11:39 pm
and currently the government has been cutting back in many areas, we saw that with the prison reform as well. the problem is it is not clear where the additional money should come from. we are already borrowing quite heavily, and so there is no easy answer to this one. people i used to waiting for an operation, hip replacements, as we talked about, but to see your gp you don't expect to wait three or four weeks, oi’ expect to wait three or four weeks, or even one—week —— people are used. they say this is one month, the head of the gps saying this is the whole service, it is on thin ice at the moment. over the christmas period, pharmacy hours are reduced, there are pharmacy hours are reduced, there a re lots of pharmacy hours are reduced, there are lots of factors, the weather, the cold, why more people might want to go and seek their gp, so it is natural that this time is busy but not on the scale, i don't think. now that christmas is over we are throwing away our wrapping paper and christmas cards, but there is a problem because if you try and
11:40 pm
recycle it, which i know you have both been trying to do, you could get into a mess, because apparently glitter covered wrapping paper and cards marked up the recycling system so cards marked up the recycling system so you cards marked up the recycling system so you are cards marked up the recycling system so you are not allowed to recycle it. yes, we have been told there is no point, the hours you have spent over the last few days diligently separating... have you spent hours? i think that is an exaggeration. you have a rather sad life if you have spent that much time dealing with your wrapping paper. driving to recycle them. it takes a long time. it has all been for nothing. because that metallicy paper ruins the process and people are turning up and having all of their carefully... a p pa re ntly and having all of their carefully... apparently it clogs up the recycling machinery, that is the technical explanation. i was feeling so virtuous and productive, going to the tip with my carefully sorted
11:41 pm
materials, and to discover it was a waste of time has made me feel a little bit silly. you have to drive quite a long way, did you? no, i was on the way someplace else, so, yeah, it is important not to do that with the journeys, but it is frustrating. the other thing is, the difficulty of the issues, should i put the cartons with the cardboard? on some banks it says you can and on others it says you can't. we need more guidance for next christmas, that's the message. let's talk about donald trump, he has been tweeting again. what has he been saying? sighs. the latest tweet from donald trump. she sighs. he gave a strong speech condemning benjamin netanyahu, john kerry, saying he is the most right—wing government in years, the building of illegal settlements is in palestinian land, they were very
11:42 pm
upset with the vote a few days ago in the un to this effect, but donald has come out and he has said, don't worry, israel, just hang on, wait untiljanuary worry, israel, just hang on, wait until january the 20th worry, israel, just hang on, wait untiljanuary the 20th when i am inaugurated and i become the president, i am on your site, it is clear—cut as that. but, yes, interesting the diplomacy over such serious issues are being conducted over. . . serious issues are being conducted over... it is hard to be very balanced and considered in 90 characters. usually, governments deal with the palestinian situation and go to this length saying they are being balanced. on this, we have heard a lot of affirmation on israel's rights, and not palestinians, and that could cause problems for him. he has in many areas, you know, he will have to do business with muslim nations in the future. so, this is, you know, his historical approach has been to be somewhat simplistic on some issues. some of these things are much more
11:43 pm
complicated than immediately we see and the blow that might come later. interesting to see whether he keeps putting stuff out on twitter when he is in the white house. it will be interesting, yes. he does seem to find the time. you hope he will be very busy and won't have time. he might not need a spokesman all woman. he likes efficiency. he will run it like a business. the last story of the day, goodbye to all that in the daily telegraph sport page, bradley wiggins, wiggo, as he is affectionately known, great staff. yes, i mean, it is, i rememberthe staff. yes, i mean, it is, i remember the 2012 olympics when he came to light the flame and at the time it seemed so appropriate —— great star. he was the most famous at that point in time sportsmen in the uk having just achieved something wonderful with the tour de france. so, it is, you know, the right time to move on, he is getting older now, still in his late 305, so it is unfortunate, obviously, the
11:44 pm
timing of this has come not that long after we have the leak of this information about his medical hi5tory. information about his medical history. you think that's the reason for announcing his retirement?” history. you think that's the reason for announcing his retirement? i am not a cycling expert, but i think in your late 305, it is a punishing 5port, your late 305, it is a punishing sport, you can't go on for ever. i don't think there is any suggestion that it is. it is unfortunate that it has come at the time. he has achieved what he wanted to achieve. he is bowing out. he is not the first athlete, sports star to do that. they set their goals, they achieve them and then they go and enjoy. extraordinary achievement, really, all of those metals, tour de france, and as you say slightly coloured by the various allegations, but he said those steroid injections we re but he said those steroid injections were because of his hayfever. he was found to have done nothing wrong. we don't know the data on how many other people get these, or how many of these di5pen5ation5 they get. ye5, one has to keep that in mind,
11:45 pm
on the basis of the information we received, there was no reason to believe he had done anything wrong. so, if it shows, maybe we don't know if he should be published, there would be no semblance of impropriety. ever since the age of 12 he said he knew he wanted to be an olympic champion and that is what he became, so congratulations. ok, and thank you to both of you, thanks for being with us once again. coming up next it's sportsday.
