have fool a seems to have managed to have fool a lot of people. they had seen on i page 150 or something that actually a lot of the bills were not being paid, they had booked the orders and delivered some goods but it was not being paid. sometimes because customers said it had not been delivered properly, or itjust wasn't being managed right. it's a good example, the classic story that if you borrowed so much money from the bank the banks can't let you fail. too big to fail, donald trump knows that. but career leon when to 25 million from five bankers, like a foot ball 25 million from five bankers, like a football squad, three of the bankers said no, to said we would. in a way that people who we say mismanage the company that people who we say mismanage the com pa ny clearly that people who we say mismanage the company clearly did because they said we can go on, the banks will not allow us to fail. this whole business of public and private as well, a private company allowed to

have public sector projects and the government is going to pay for public sector workers. they must keep working. that's a bit unfair when you have private sector workers also working who are probably facing also working who are probably facing a very hard time. and lots of small companies who will go out of business. 1000 people apparently already connected with the company not directly but you could be affected. the emphasis seems to be moving on to the managers at the top of this company. the metro has a fairly salty headline, taking the piste. this is the chief executive, a luxury ski home with six bedrooms and an indoor paul. he is in hot water. i am taking the piste now!

they cannot actually find him, he is either in his yorkshire home or his french ski chalets. they are making the point that it might cost taxpayers 600 million, and already a lot of redundancies being announced in these smaller firms that supply carillion, so obviously not one fact has started straightaway. the people at the very top were getting bonuses and big dividend pay—outs, not too long before this company collapsed. greg clark has very quickly ordered a fast track investigation into the conduct of the directors, and he wa nted conduct of the directors, and he wanted extended to pass directors, not just current directors, wanted extended to pass directors, notjust current directors, because clearly we need to identify what went wrong, what happened, how directors were behaving. the company kept increasing its dividends even though the business was not doing well enough. it also had a big pension deficit which it was not taken carol. —— it was not taking

ca re taken carol. —— it was not taking care of. it does not look good and we need to get to the bottom of what happened. we have not learned any lessons from the 2008 crash. the same thing with the banks. let's see what they find. moving on to the telegraph, the main story that a coroner has urged the crown prosecution service to reopen the case of the death of poppy worthington, the 13—month—old toddler who died of this fixation about four years ago. and it could well be that we see a reopening of that case, but at the bottom of that, boris. he reckons £100 million a week for the nhs is necessary or the tories will lose the next election. given that the leeds side promised people they would have £350 million a week potentially available for the nhs million a week potentially available forthe nhs —— million a week potentially available for the nhs —— the leave aside, you

would think 100 million may not satisfy. but calling for any sum of money strikes me as being strange. of course we have to celebrate the nhs but we must also recognise we're not getting extra money as a result of leaving the eu. it's not how it is turning out. we have already seen the chancellor said we will have to pay 3.7 billion... he's a remain a! that's the thing, we are putting aside. we must spend more money on the nhs but when they can find it as a result of brexit is a doubt. he gave an interview in the guardian saying he got the figure wrong, it was much more! interesting there was a divided between the johnson leavers and the barrage leavers, barrage has always said it was not that figure. —— nigel farage

leavers. the point being made is that his party need to focus on the nhs, that is the big issue in voters minds, potential voters, nhs, that is the big issue in voters minds, potentialvoters, now. particularly as a result of winter crisis and the tories have to get real with that. crisis and the tories have to get realwith that. it's crisis and the tories have to get real with that. it's a position for him to make sure he's on the right line to succeed theresa may when she goes. maybe it is. we can't fix the nhs without fixing social care, offering money isn't enough also we have to sort out nhs, it's clear. 0 nto have to sort out nhs, it's clear. onto the daily express, french tell us, take more migrants. outrageous demands to give homes to refugees from calais! the daily express pretty exercised about this. that is the headline that actually the macron speech they have printed is not about taking more migrants, macron is saying britain have to pay more for the arrangements,

immigration arrangements we already have calais. maybe the implication is that if they don't pay more we we re is that if they don't pay more we were policed them, but the words of the french president saying we will actually do more but britain has to pay more, so the daily express is implying something that the french president may not have said. when was the last time you saw a headline that actually matched the story? in any newspaper? let's be real. they do sometimes, but what's important here is that there is a two k agreement we currently have where france has agreed to help us police our innovation so they do it at partly their expense, and what they are now saying is, we gave you special arrangements because we were working together as part of the eu, what we are now saying is we can't give the special arrangements, you have to pay more for this kind of checks and we are not sure why we should check your immigrants in our country, you should check them yourself. historically that used to

be part of this country so maybe we should reclaim it! laughter that's another discussion. flip side of the migration story, not enough trained doctors coming in. nhs losing doctors coming in. nhs losing doctors to migration red tape. we know there is a shortage, particularly in the nhs and this again shows that the question is of immigration as if it is an eu immigration as if it is an eu immigration issue, actually many of the doctors come from non—eu countries. we have a whole red tape problem there. within the problems in the nhs it shows we have several issues to sort out over immigration, notjust a question issues to sort out over immigration, not just a question of issues to sort out over immigration, notjust a question of numbers, but of who we want, how soon can we get the people we want, it's a very serious question. i think the government is a little court here because the referendum vote clearly signals that the country is not co mforta ble signals that the country is not comfortable with a high level of immigration at the moment. they feel we need to slow down for a while so

the government has put a cap on the number of people who can come into the country, but what's happened is because of the cat we can't take in as many doctors as we need because we have already reached the cap, then you have to stop taking more in. we need another national conversation on some of the issues and where the public actually want the government to clamp down or not. moving on to the daily mail... minister for the lonely. in a sad reflection of modern britain when 9 million live in isolation and 200,000 elderly go weeks without talking to a friend or relative. 200,000 elderly go weeks without talking to a friend or relativelj think talking to a friend or relative.” think this is really important as a social issue. the prime minister is right to appoint somebody to look at this, tracy karachi was the sports minister. she could not have been very lonely. to look into this issue. this is also part of the social care problem, 200,000 elderly

people in this country go for weeks without seeing anybody on talking to anybody. the councils have had to cut meals on wheels, they have had to withdraw some of the clubs that used to be available to older people, they have cut the care for people, they have cut the care for people with may be moderate needs, so people with may be moderate needs, so you may not be too well that you arejust on your own so you may not be too well that you are just on your own at home. this isa are just on your own at home. this is a big issue so i hope with all this together, this new ministerial position will be able to look at how we can integrate people who are on their own batter into communities. seems like a decent idea. she will give a cd of roy orbison's great song, only the lonely. that will be her first task. i don't know whether to laugh or cry! it is a bit worrying, you are quite right, it's a whole social problem which are not

sure having a minister solves it. it's a much deeper problem if there are so many it's a much deeper problem if there are so many lonely people. across departments. across the whole social framework of our society. families living apart and someone. inside the daily mail, we love our animals. ms utterly help when it comes to loneliness as well. who one of pop idol? britain's top ten favourite breeds of dog revealed. the labrador number one. the second is interesting, a mixed breed. that's quite interesting. in mixed breed that has come second in the poll. he would not have expected... the jack russells bird, and staffordshi re the jack russells bird, and staffordshire bull terrier of course. labrador is also, so

gorgeous, and of course they are used for guide dogs. they are very gentle, very intelligent and you can rely on them. and they make you feel very comfortable, they make you feel reassured. i had a labrador for many yea rs reassured. i had a labrador for many years and i adored her. you are so soft! i am a cat man myself. which breed? no idea. it's black and white. thank you so much for looking at these stories. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer thank you for listening. we've got some severe weather
