tv The Papers BBC News December 26, 2019 11:30pm-12:00am GMT
11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines: spanish police have named the three british holidaymakers who died in a swimming pool on christmas eve. gabriel diya and his two children drowned at a hotel on the costa del sol. anyone that know them would say the same thing, they were just beautiful, lovely people. more than seventy migrants in small boats have been rescued trying to cross the channel to the uk. at least 16 people are dead and many missing after a typhoon rips through the philipines leaving a trail of devastation. "what's occuring?" — more than eleven million people tuned in for the return of gavin and stacey, making it the most watched christmas day programme of the decade.
11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are nigel nelson, the political editor at the sunday mirror and sunday people, and the political commentator, jo phillips. let's take a look at the front pages: in the guardian, the £30 million cost of out—of—court settlements paid out by the police and campaigners say that's just the tip of the iceberg. leading the mail, fury at the barrister who beat a fox to death with a baseball bat on his doorstep after it became trapped in netting protecting his chickens. in the mirror, hospital parking win — fees for some of the sickest patients, who visit regularly, are to be scrapped by the government.
11:32 pm
in the times, the treasury is to rip up the rules on where money is spent to boost the economic wellbeing of people in the north and the midlands. in the financial times, the slowest year for a decade — only 39 companies listed on london's stock market in 2019, the lowest number since the financial crisis. and in the sun, skyfail: top—secret planning documents for the mi6 hq building are reportedly lost in a shocking security gaffe. so let's start discussing some of the stories in the papers withjo and nigel you look at this and you could see sky for but won't play. tell us more. this is a story that would not do very well forjames bond for sure because the building giant have been
11:33 pm
sacked from renovating mi6 london headquarters after toxic papers disappeared. you can imagine the security that would have been in place for every single vehicle, every single worker, every single person involved in this and about two weeks ago, it was discovered that papers which discovered layouts and various alarm systems had gone missing which somebody is quoted as saying would be gold dust to criminals. so the company have been given the elbow. not a good look. the papers were not classified but deemed to be highly sensitive and many were found inside the building. some turned out. i think it is unlikely that you can leave things lying around the building in mi6
11:34 pm
headquarters but some are still missing. it is notjust criminals, certainly the chinese and russian keepa certainly the chinese and russian keep a close eye on what mi6 is up to and they would love documents like this because presumably it would give you an idea which departments are actually where. it is extraordinary that somebody was not keeping a stronger hold on what was going on there. this is supposed to be the bastion of security. absolutely. legoland is what the spies call it, rather disparagingly. this is supposed to be the most secure this is supposed to be the most secure building in britain. the daily express leads with boris must act now to and social care crisis. this was something we talked about in relation to the independent last time but we will come back to the independent in a moment. what is the express saying? they talking about
11:35 pm
how charities and health providers are saying we need immediate actions and borisjohnson are saying we need immediate actions and boris johnson promised are saying we need immediate actions and borisjohnson promised that on the steps of downing street when he took over injuly. the steps of downing street when he took over in july. it was a major plank in the election and get nothing in the queen's speech. caregroup, nhf confederation and alzheimer's society saying get a move on. this story into the express, a paper very much backing borisjohnson, and express, a paper very much backing boris johnson, and now express, a paper very much backing borisjohnson, and now it is saying, come on, we have supported you now deliver. you would do well to listen to what we're saying on the front page. this ties in with the independent which has a story about district nursing, nurses out in the community and people ‘s homes and nursing homes. the number of district nurses has dropped from over 7000 in 2010 to just about 4000 110w over 7000 in 2010 to just about 4000 now and there are only 4000 trained each yearfor now and there are only 4000 trained each year for the last three years
11:36 pm
and that the people who were running ca re and that the people who were running care and the community, nursing services, health services, say they just cannot cope. although the express is talking about social care, particularly in relation to older people, district nurses deal with all sorts of people, people who are having cancer treatment, who have had operations and they are not all old people, people need medical help, health professionals as opposed to carers who do an amazing job and there are not enough of them. when you take this in totality, social care, district nurses, that complex jigsaw trying to keep people out of hospital, which needs to be done if the nhs, the a&e, is going to be supported. what the independent is saying is that some of these nurses are forced to work an extra day a week unpaid
11:37 pm
just to keep up and of course you have got some of the other figures that come up with, 60% of district nurses are over 45, half of those already thinking about retiring. the problem you have got is keeping them in place. they have dropped from 7000 to 4000 came to power.m in place. they have dropped from 7000 to 4000 came to power. it is a pressure on boris johnson 7000 to 4000 came to power. it is a pressure on borisjohnson who has only had this election victory for a couple of weeks, come on, people are saying, do something. a paper that was supporting him on this campaign, perhaps an indication that it will be holding him to account. i think so. be holding him to account. i think so. the times is talking about the northern categories, treasury to rip up northern categories, treasury to rip up rules in northern cash boost.|j am sure either of us can talk about it and am sure either of us can talk about itandi am sure either of us can talk about it and i know nigel has a certain inside into this... both of you. ..
11:38 pm
we can talk over each other. no, let's not do that, we have had enough of that for the last year or so. enough of that for the last year or so. the treasury is planning to change the way it works out how much public money goes into a certain region in order to make sure that the north, where the tories have won a whole lot of seeds from the labour party, would get a fair share of theirfunding for party, would get a fair share of their funding for infrastructure and investment. —— seats. resources allocated on the basis of improving well—being, not just productivity, which is what they are at the moment. the gross value added. interestingly, there was a paper published last year by academics at cambridge and manchester university who say it is the most ridiculous policy, the current one, because it creates this great disparity and we know that from south—east london compared to towns in the north so
11:39 pm
whether the government is going to do this or not, there is a story and nigel has a very. i would love to hear it. what is important is they do do it. one of the promises boris johnson made all the way through the election campaign is to look after the whole country and up until now all this has been done on the basis of the overall national economic growth. now we have to start concentrating on the regions. of course, during the elections, it was the labour voters in the north and midlands who delivered the landslide for borisjohnson midlands who delivered the landslide for boris johnson and of the day after he was elected he said, right, we are now going to repay that trust. this is an indication he intends to do exactly that. it is important he does do it. the north— south divide has been a problem for years and the more you can do to actually narrow that and stop investments going to the south and
11:40 pm
south—east, the better for the country. a government with an enormous amount on its plate, managing the next phase of brexit and all of this domestic policy. this probably comes from dominic cummings. he gets a mention. he has made it plain he wants to see a major shakeup of the civil service so this is i think a shot across the boughs of the civil service although lord 0'donnell, the former secretary, says the plan is an excellent idea. it is, if they carry it out, it is an excellent idea. in the daily mail, more onjulian maunder, the barrister and his encounter with a fox. it was trying to attack his chickens. encounter with a fox. it was trying to attack his chickenslj encounter with a fox. it was trying to attack his chickens. i think he was nursing a hangover, a red
11:41 pm
hangover... it is worse now! it certainly is. he went out in the garden where his chickens were and they were being attacked by a fox. he went out with his wife's kimono... a bizarre detail. he killed the fox because he did not know what else to do, in inverted commas. 0bviously he has invoked the wrath and fury of animal rights activists stop only a few weeks ago he was a hero to the anti— brexit side, if you like, because he was launching legal challenges with gina miller against brexit and the prorogation of parliament but he has gone from hero to zero. on a basic level, one wonders why put this on twitter. exactly. somebody who has dealt with twitter followers before,
11:42 pm
because that is part of hisjob as a qc, the idea that he put something out on twitter and edit rather as a joke, he wasjust saying, how is your boxing day, ijust killed a fox, it was that that upset people. had he not done that, he would not be on the front page of the daily mail tomorrow morning so he must be regretting hugely that sweet. what makes people do it? if you think it was funny, and you might want to send it to a friend, use a text. undoubtedly chickens were distressed by the fox but the rspca are looking into the incident and people are asking if there was a humane way of dealing with the fox. quite right. the rspca say that would not have handled it in that particular way but it depends on the circumstances but it depends on the circumstances but the great mistake is to tweet these things out. and turn it into
11:43 pm
something that is a bit panto. thank you for trusting your eyes over tomorrow morning ‘s papers. 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 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you this evening to my guests nigel and jo, and from all of us, goodnight. next on bbc news, it is time for click.
11:44 pm
# 0h christmas tree... # your leaves are so unchanging... you have finally arrived, welcome. the gang is all here, you are too, so welcome to clickmas 2019! forced merriment and pretend food, just like last year. do we have a festive feast of tech treats for you? yes we do, and first up, it will be lara, merry christmas. merry christmas. whenever people say you should never work with animals or kids, i think clearly they have not worked with tech because it goes wrong occasionally, doesn't it? this week, i haven't just worked with tech, i worked with a dog at the same time. take a look at this.
11:45 pm
meet rusty, the tech savvy puppy familiar with being caught on camera and provided with smart phone triggered treats, via this gadget, already in his home. one of the first things we bought, perhaps before he actually came home with us was the furbo, which films him all the time, tells you when he's barking, tells you when he's whining, and if you want to give him a bit of a treat, you can click the treat release button and then he gets lots of treats sent to him. want to test some gadgets? i take it that's a yes. today, he's my furry glamorous assistant, getting his teeth into testing tech. the rechargeable wicked ball moves vibrates and changes colour according to activity level while playing. it's developed to encourage attraction and response. i do worry a bit when he picks it up in his teeth and it's vibrating in his teeth.
11:46 pm
gps trackers for dogs have been around for a while, but they are getting smaller and lighter. thejoibit is water resistant and does better on battery life than some of its competitors, and also has a geosense function where you can get an alert if your pet pooch goes further than it should, but how useful did camilla find it? it's great that it's a gps tractor, very small, but it is just a gps tracker, and i would have loved to have some activity tracker with it, but it is very accurate and seems to have been correct every time i have checked. i would not find it overly useful because i know where he is most of the time. in the case of your dog getting stolen and they are wearing it, that would be extremely useful. being able to track our animals has stepped up a level. now, you can also track their behaviour as well as their activity,
11:47 pm
so you can see how the two things correlate. beautifully behaved of course, aren't you? the animo pet activity and behaviour tracker logs a doggy‘s step count and sleep, as well as alerting its own as to how much barking, shaking or scratching is going on. 0k, a calm moment, but there doesn't seem to be any lack of activity today, although you do need to collect at least a week's worth of data to start to see anything meaningful. the negatives, though, are you have to keep it on at night time, and i personally don't like keeping a collar on rusty at night time, i don't think it is particularly safe. so depending on a dog and its owner's lifestyles,
11:48 pm
it seems that different gadgets would be useful. but one thing that is for certain is that before i film anything like this again, i think i need a spot of human training. i will play with this with you if you let me hold onto it. that was lara with the dogs, i guess the only thing you need to be thankful for is it wasn't cats. maybe next year? that's true. christmas is all about getting together with friends and family. i don't know about you lot, but i kind of feel like we're family by now. pretty much. we've known each other an awful long time. awful! we are dysfunctional, we bicker, but we have seen each other through some ups and downs, some good times and bad times, and a few months ago, one member of the click family got some bad news. lj, tell us about it. it was me. i got diagnosed with breast cancer a few months back. not the most fun i've had.
11:49 pm
however, chemotherapy has some surprising bits of technology involved, and i thought why not demystify it and give people a chance to see what actually happens. i've got tea, an ipad, colouring pencils, charging cable, keyboard, two kinds of drink, headphones. i think that's most things. this is my eighth chemo treatment out of ten, i am ready to rock now. everything starts with tablets, flurazopan is to help to deal with the pain of the cap, because it's very, very, very, very cold. bottoms up. lunch menu. today i will have what i always have. this is where my port has been implanted. it's a fast track tube under my skin that connects directly to my heart, allowing nurses to administer drugs really easily. like plugging in a phone charger. as a piano player, i really didn't want to have any catheters in my hands or in my arms, because the chemo treatment is quite toxic, so when i found out you could get a port fitted and everything goes on here, i don't have to hunt around for a vein, it's a massively relief.
11:50 pm
i didn't feel a thing! now this is in, that's it, everything goes in and out of the port. before i started chemo, i was really scared, and i was also uninformed about the actual practicalities of it, the ins and outs of it, what to expect. like wearing a cold cap. chemo kills any rapidly dividing cells, including hair, so lowering blood circulation to my scalp can help keep my hair on. imagine eating the coldest ice cream in the world for about an hour and a half, and that gives you a good idea. 0ff comes the wig. there we go. au naturel, albeit with quite a lot of make—up. some patients keep more than others, i've have been quite lucky. tepid water is applied, and this is to help the conductivity
11:51 pm
of the cold cap, and if you are have even one treatment without the cap on, you cannot do it, and your hair will come out. it has to fit very snugly. i always had a theory that wearing a cold cap would make my brain really fast, like superconducting, but it's completely the opposite. i am unable to do much concentrating. bring on the winter! this is the painful pit. if i can get through this, then we're all good. so i have various things to keep me busy, things that i find really enjoyable are watching mindless tv, and doing flight simulator practice. i have always wanted to learn to fly a plane, so why not do it now? slowly bring the nose up. there we go. this is really taxing
11:52 pm
with the hat on. i can do it with no problem without the cap on. i cannot actually land the plane while i have the treatment done. i've crashed every time. i am getting cold. i am slightly impaired at this point, but colouring in clouds, that i can do. i have been using apps like this one, procreate, masterclass, and the explained sim during the treatment but i have also been recording my data to show oncologists what my body has been up to. i record what the datas track like blood pressure, and collect data myself like my resting heart rate and body temperature. three days after treatment i go up a few degrees. it's really useful. i can then go to the doctor and show them physical evidence of what my body has been doing. it's completely frozen solid now. sometimes there is ice in there. i can't remember anything any more. after a few hours of iv and a cold head, i am nearly done for another week. thank you so much. so that's it, that's chemo treatment in a nutshell. lots of different iv drugs, cool
11:53 pm
cap, port and now hospital lunch. that was absolutely fascinating. really brave, thank you. i had no idea about what goes on. this is exactly why i did it because it feels like an opportunity to just lift the lid on a single word and just maybe give people who are about to go through this the chance to understand a bit more before going into it and then it is not a whole lot of surreal surprises, one after another, which is what it was like for me. trust you to find all the technology you could during the procedure. yes, give me everything. you really know your way around social media, and i wonder whether media has been a help, hindrance, whether it has contributed at all to your experience. i considered for such a long time, do i share this online or do i not?
11:54 pm
and i decided to share it because i'm not the only person going through this, so many people are. the response i had was overwhelmingly good, so many people shared their stories with me, and it feels like together, we are stronger. i am really glad i shared. lj rich everyone. oh my gosh, thanks! don't eat that! that's the short cut... it's not — it's fake food, i told you! that's it for the short cut of clickmas 2019. if you want to see more of this madness, then the full—length version is up on iplayer right now. if you'd like to get in touch with us, please do, we live in social media, youtube, facebook, instagram, and twitter — @bbcclick. who's looking after the social media over the rest of the holidays? right, good luck with that. ah, in the meantime, merry clickmas, everybody. merry clickmas!
11:55 pm
hello there. after the dry and often sunny weather of christmas day, boxing day brought a return to something wetter. certainly rather down for a weather watcher at southport on merseyside. not like that everywhere. northern scotland had the lion's share of the bright and dry weather. more of us will see dry weather over the next few days. lots of cloud around. but it is going to feel milder. friday morning begins with this warm front pushing north—east. a bit of rain with that. as the name suggests, it is a warm front. it will be introducing warmer or at least mild air from the south—west. particularly across the western half
11:56 pm
of the uk we will feel the effects of that in the day ahead. some rain with that warm front moving across scotland and northern england, pushing north—east. anotherfrontal system bringing rain into western scotland and northern ireland. for other areas, especially england and wales, it will be predominantly dry, especially into the afternoon. glimmers of sunshine, may be. generally quite cloudy. central and eastern areas of england and scotland staying in single digits. wendy across the west and particularly the north—west of the uk. friday night into saturday, another pulse of rain drifting north across northern ireland and scotland. england and wales largely dry. lots of cloud around on what will, for the vast majority, be a frost—free night. saturday, frontal systems running up to the north—west. high pressure keeps things settled for the east and south. for england and wales it looks largely dry. large amounts of cloud. a slightly better chance of seeing some sunshine in the south of england and wales later in the day.
11:57 pm
rainfall northern ireland and western scotland. mild and double digits for just about all of us. sunday, the change should be a bit more sunshine, drier air pushing up from the south, breaking up the cloud and giving us more sunshine. some rain in the north—west of scotland. widely 11—13. maybe for the murray coast in north—east scotland it could get to 14. very mild for this time of year. relatively mild for the last couple of days of 2019. lots of dry weather. still the chance for some rain towards the north and west.
11:59 pm
this is bbc news i'm karin giannone. our top stories: israel's prime minister benjamin neta nyahu declares victory in his party's leadership contest, the final results have just been announced. blocked roads and widespread flooding hamper rescue efforts in the philippines where a typhoon has killed at least 16 people. 15 years after the indian ocean tsunami, how ready are communities if disaster strikes again?
