will be. hello. this is bbc news with me, carol walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the prime minister urges mps to back her brexit deal or risk taking the country into uncharted territory. a long term plan for the health service in england, setting out how the government's funding boost will be spent. a man has been charged with the murder of 51—year—old lee pomeroy, who was stabbed on a train on friday. a i7—month—old girl has been found safe and well after the car she was in was stolen in east london. it's revealed footballer wayne rooney was arrested in the us last month accused of public intoxication. the striker was later released. who did your make up? we went with something dramatic. do you like it? you look like a bad joke.
11:32 pm
0h. and the favourite is a favourite for tonight's golden globes, kicking off the awards season. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rob merrick, who's the deputy political editor at the independent, and the journalist and author, natalie haynes. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian says theresa may is preparing to make another desperate plea to eu leaders for movement on the irish backstop, as she struggles to get her deal through. the independent reports on mps planning to block a repeat vote on the brexit deal. and also has a picture of elizabeth warren, who has launched a bid to become the democrat's presidential nominee. theresa may's long—term plan for the nhs is the is lead. it says the pm's blueprint aims to save half a million lives over the next ten years. the express carries
11:33 pm
that very headline, saying mrs may has promised an extra £20.5 billion a year by 2023. an almost identical front page on the mail, but it also reports on the chancellor warning the nhs to cut down on waste. continuing with that story, the telegraph's take is that genetic testing will be offered to all children with cancer. the picture there is of olivia colman and emma stone, who are in the running at tonight's golden globe awards. so, lots of different stories, but quite a few of them going big on the prime minister's nhs plan. it will save 500,000 more lives, vows nhs. that's quite a pledge, isn't it? save 500,000 more lives, vows nhs. that's quite a pledge, isn't mm is quite a pledge, it is over ten
11:34 pm
yea rs is quite a pledge, it is over ten years and so, looking at major killers, cancer, heart attacks, strokes, heart disease i should say, strokes, heart disease i should say, strokes, so huge effort to try to bring our slightly further forwards with just a few worries for those of us with just a few worries for those of us who are looking at the numbers with a degree of detail, only one of which is we are miles per home the average of european countries in terms of cancer survival. we do really badly because we diagnosed very late and that has been a historic problem. yes, hurray, lots of money, but still an awful lot of work to do before we can be world —class, work to do before we can be world—class, which is what a p pa re ntly world—class, which is what apparently theresa may is going to promise tomorrow. and we are getting some more of the details here of what is planned, and this is a pretty ambitious programme. yes, lots of things i think in the plan tomorrow are the sorts of things you'd expect to hear, better mental health treatment, cancer diagnosis, but the thing that does lead out,
11:35 pm
and we will see the other papers focus on it in a second, is this promise of genetic testing, which of course is new, something that hasn't been available in the past. not only children will cancer —— with cancer will have this test, which the mall focuses on, but adults with hard to treat diseases, heart disease and strokes —— mail. the hope is that by offering these tests, by people being diagnosed, they are more likely to spot the symptoms, they are more likely to come forward, more likely to be able to be treated earlier and something can be done about, as natalie says, the miserable cancer survival rates. and thatis miserable cancer survival rates. and that is the front—page story, the aspect of this plan picked up by the daily telegraph, gene test for every child with cancer. and that is something that could make quite a difference in terms of getting earlier diagnosis and treatment. we have to hope so. they are talking among other things having rapid diagnostic centres which could give rapid results sometimes on the same day. people from other countries simply don't believe how long you
11:36 pm
have to wait here to be told what your results from tests for diagnostic test for cancer. and so i think... and aside from anything else, the enormous toll that it places on people, whether they are well or ill, having to wait for weeks at a time one way or another is just... weeks at a time one way or another isjust... no—one would weeks at a time one way or another is just... no—one would wish weeks at a time one way or another isjust... no—one would wish it weeks at a time one way or another is just... no—one would wish it on their worst enemy. so anything to speed that up surely has to be an improvement. and what is extraordinary, rob, is the times picking up on the fact that despite this huge amount of extra money, extra £20 billion by 2023, the nhs is still facing a £1 billion budget hole, and we seem the other papers saying that the chancellor is also warning the nhs has got to watch out for waste. i mean, there still seems to be financial problems here despite the huge amounts of money going in. yes, the times gives ple nty of going in. yes, the times gives plenty of space to the good things in the plan tomorrow but as you say picks up on a possible problem with it, we talked about other problems
11:37 pm
earlier, you know, staffing shortages and no apparent plan tackle that. the spectre of brexit hanging over that, the failure to come over with any plans for social care, another one times picked up on is whether there is enough money, they are focusing on analysis from they are focusing on analysis from the nuffield trust, a health think tank, which said when it looks at the impact of staff pay rises, inflation, and the growing number of patients, they believe that they need 7.3 billion pounds in the next financial year and they are going to get about six, so that is a bit more than £1 billion shortfall according to the nuffield trust. and of course the other thing to remember is that the other thing to remember is that the government in unveiling this money is playing catch up on an unprecedented spending squeeze that the nhs has faced since 2010, and arguably the money that is being spent is simply in some cases going to pay off the debts hospitals have built up over that period of time and, at the end of that process, you wonder how much extra money will be there to improve services. and, as
11:38 pm
rob mentioned, there is an absence of plan for social care and we know thatis of plan for social care and we know that is really adding to the pressures on hospitals, because in many cases people simply can't... move out of hospital because they have nowhere safe to go and nowhere to be looked after i suppose i should say less dramatically. i think whoever put together the front—page of the times today deserves a small metal tomorrow because they have done a tremendous job of doing the nhs story right next to millionaire rip—off drugs businessmen given 0be in case you're wondering what some of the waste in the nhs might be. we all have this notion that there must be hospital managers burning tenners in a car park. iam managers burning tenners in a car park. i am confident that is the case. feel free to send an example. 0ne case. feel free to send an example. one of the problems is for example an 0be going to businessmen whose drugs money raise the prices drugs by drugs money raise the prices drugs byup drugs money raise the prices drugs by up to 2500%, which he the sole supplier and that is where the nhs waste goes, we could perhaps not
11:39 pm
give 0bes, just a thought. waste goes, we could perhaps not give obes, just a thought. the phrase is often used about promises in social care. if you put money into health services without social ca re into health services without social care it is like pouring water into the bath without the plug and that is some of the problems... until the government has a plan for social care, just how much improvement can it bring about? the prime minister at least will hope that is a distraction from the other big woe, which is the brexit vote. and your own story in the independent, rob, mps to block repeat vote on may's brexit deal. yes, we did not learn a great deal from the prime minister's comeback interview before mps come back to westminster tomorrow. we know the vote will be next week. she promised it would. she said at last i. we know that if the vote takes place she will lose. there doesn't seem place she will lose. there doesn't seem to be any doubt. she has out to secure seem to be any doubt. she has out to secure the guarantees she promised in the new talks in brussels. therefore mps haven't been won over to their doubts about the deal. 0ne thing we appear to learn is a hint that if she loses next week she will
11:40 pm
bring the vote back again and again and again until she wins and perhaps thatis and again until she wins and perhaps that is the only way to win, to use the threat of a no—deal brexit which of course most mps are pose, which is only 82 days away, that is the date for us to leave, to use that threat to somehow wear down mps and force the commons to surrender. but what we learned today is when you look at the parliamentary bible, which is this big document called erskine may, sets out the rules that this wouldn't be allowed under parliamentary rules. if you put a motion to the commons, the commons rejects it, you can't bring it back, you can't even tweak any words unless it is changed in substance. that cannot be brought back again in the same session. so it appears if thatis the same session. so it appears if that is the pm's plan, she won't be able to do it. and the prime minister herself admitted if no deal is defeated we would be going into uncharted territory. borisjohnson is waiting in an the daily telegraph, saying that no deal, which of course does, as the clock ticks down, become ever more likely,
11:41 pm
is voters' idea of leaving the eu, boris johnson's take on is voters' idea of leaving the eu, borisjohnson's take on it. is voters' idea of leaving the eu, boris johnson's take on it. he would know that well, hanging out with voters as he does on a regular basis with his £275,000 a yearjob for the daily telegraph. as always with borisjohnson, you daily telegraph. as always with boris johnson, you should daily telegraph. as always with borisjohnson, you should take literally all that with all of the salt you can find, a pinch simply won't do, i would recommend handfuls, armfuls if you can find it because, as always, he simply make things up, we have no idea what people voted for when they voted because it a binary toys, yes or no, when people voted no they literally voted against being in the eu, not, yes, by the way, i would like to have parks over kent because that sounds ideal, yes, please, iwould love my loved ones not to be able to get medicine, that's excellent, that is exactly not what they voted for. he makes up numbers because it wouldn't be complete without, in which he suggesting increasing popularity for a no—deal brexit and certainly as long as you think 42%
11:42 pm
supported no deal versus 58% supporting remain in the yougov polls which i am sure he must have seen, then obviously once again he is being entirely at best spurious. he rejects what he calls downright apocalyptic warning. he rejects fa cts apocalyptic warning. he rejects facts because the alternative would be to simply be quiet and not earn all of that money spouting rubbish in the daily telegraph. i presume that would be his reason, but i can't possibly know his motives, like he is doing with leave voters. let's have a look at the sun on its inside pages, rob, talking about sink orswim, inside pages, rob, talking about sink or swim, this is the pm's warning of a plunge to chaos if her plan fails. coupled with a rather amusing picture. yes, you suspect the picture is dictating the headline, don't you? the pm says my plans for brexit are going swimmingly and the swimmer is saying, pool the other one. very
11:43 pm
good. the story says she will unveil a hat—trick of pledges for her brexit deal. i listen to the interview and it doesn't sound that way. as we discussed, it sounds as if she is still pushing the same buttons, you know, trying to persuade the eu to give way to get mps something new and as we said there is no real prospect of that happening. there is no real sign of her being able to change the picture and achieve a different result in the vote if it takes place next week. so if it is sink or swim i think it will be sink. let'sjust look at a couple of the other stories. the mirror, one of several that has a picture of wayne rooney. us boos shame. —— booze shame. he has had previous struggles with alcohol, was apparently arrested at alcohol, was apparently arrested at a washington airport shortly before christmas. yes, i mean, iwould be lying if i said i had even the faintest interest in wayne rooney or
11:44 pm
anything i think... yes, anything i think he has ever done, which, to be fair, is nothing, because i have no idea. he is a football. england's re cord idea. he is a football. england's record goalscorer! is heaped? i like snooker. you know how impressed i am when you beat ronnie 0'sullivan in a side that match in westminster ——is he? a wish you didn't bring that up! you do not! it seems - who you do not! it seems someone who routinely gets drunk - hayes routinely gets drunk and mr hayes has got drunkg —— i hayes. routinely gets drunk and mr hayes has got drunk§ -- i hayes. -- drink very much. -- mr hayes. -- misbehaves. he still has a following in the uk. misbehaves. he still has a following in the ui in all seriousness, he has rooney. in all seriousness, he has been able to turn around his career and achieve an extension to his career and achieve an extension to his career in the states, he has gone over and the huge success so i suppose it's a blow that this has happened. the lawyer is blaming his drink fuelled thai rate as one paper
11:45 pm
calls it, him being abusive, blamed it on the pills that he took. —— tirade. 0h, it on the pills that he took. —— tirade. oh, yes, the pills. i am sure if it hadn't been for the pills, he wouldn't have been like that. he has survived previously apparently sleeping with prostitutes while his wife was pregnant. this is why i don't pay attention to him. being abusive on an aeroplane is
