hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are senior associate editor at the new statesman, rachel cunliffe, and former conservative pensions minister, baroness ros altmann. starting with the mirror, which leads with a warning that up

to 500 people a week could be dying due to emergency care delays. meanwhile, the i has the results of a new poll which suggests the public believes the conservative have failed to manage the nhs properly over the past decade. the mail says this is alljust part of rishi sunak�*s triple new year headache — along with the channel migrant crisis and continuing strikes. the independent focuses on another "overwhelmed" part of the public sector — quoting the head of the crown prosecution service, saying victims of crime are being let down by delays in the court system. the telegraph says sunak has shelved his proposed "big bang" childcare reforms to help parents get back to work. and finally, the daily star leads on a "barking mad" report that councils are letting newly planted trees die by failing to care for them properly. lots to get through, thanks so much forjoining us, lovely to see you

both. we will start with the nhs, and get more problems reported there, the front page of the daily mirror. it's quite a stark headline, "five hundred deaths a week due to nhs crisis." what's going on here? the bosses of the ane emergency medicine or suggesting that between 3-500 medicine or suggesting that between 3—500 people could die every week because of the shortage of staff and spacesin because of the shortage of staff and spaces in a&e, and we know there's a real staffing crisis, we've also seen industrial action which has further reduced the capacity, even though it wasn't meant to touch a entity, other bits of the health service i finally ended up in a&e

whereas previously they might not have done. and there are many causes of this, but what the paper is saying is that the government and the health secretary really need to wake up to the scale of the challenge. and i agree, we must bring in more people from overseas, if we can find them, because other countries are also struggling. and the aftereffects of the pandemic and lockdown mean more and more didn't get the emergency care that they perhaps needed over the last couple of years, the ignored signs of heart failure and so on. and now it's overwhelming in some places because with flu in covid as well —— some cases — not everywhere but certainly some places. cases - not everywhere but certainly some nam-— some places. and the royal college of emergency _ some places. and the royal college of emergency saying _ some places. and the royal college

the country so that people's essential services, whether it's essential services, whether its transport or health, or indeed other services that might be hit — if they're all coordinating strikes, this is a big issue for the government. the government issue so far on that one, to want to tough it out, i'm hoping there might be some better offer for at least the nursing staff so that we can get better pay for the health service generally. that is clearly an important issue.— generally. that is clearly an important issue. generally. that is clearly an im ortant issue. , important issue. indeed, we will see whether there _ important issue. indeed, we will see whether there are _ important issue. indeed, we will see whether there are any _ important issue. indeed, we will see whether there are any negotiations l whether there are any negotiations and relive solution at all dust resolution at all. time is racing away so let's go to the front page of the daily telegraph.

disruption that was brought about stopping people from getting to hospital and funerals, weddings and so on. and i think basically what they seem to have concluded is that it hasn't really done them much good, and it has led to changes in the law and there have been real opposition to the tactics that they've been using. so i'm very pleased to see that that might have been an end and the government has been an end and the government has been trying to tough it out and make threats, which hopefully have done the trick. ., �* , , ., , the trick. you're very pleased with this, the trick. you're very pleased with this. rachel. _ the trick. you're very pleased with this, rachel, your— the trick. you're very pleased with this, rachel, your take? - the trick. you're very pleased with this, rachel, your take? my - the trick. you're very pleased with this, rachel, your take? my take l the trick. you're very pleased with | this, rachel, your take? my take is the look this, rachel, your take? my take is they look at — this, rachel, your take? my take is they look at what _ this, rachel, your take? my take is they look at what they've _ this, rachel, your take? my take is they look at what they've been - this, rachel, your take? my take is i they look at what they've been doing and whether or not it's been working. _ and whether or not it's been working, and came to the conclusion that it _ working, and came to the conclusion that it isn't — working, and came to the conclusion that it isn't i— working, and came to the conclusion that it isn't. i know a number of environmental efforts who are worried — environmental efforts who are worried about these very aggressive protest _ worried about these very aggressive protest tactics —— environmental ekperts, — protest tactics —— environmental experts, who worry it does more harm than good _ experts, who worry it does more harm than good because people are so inconvenienced and furious that they lose sympathy with the cause, and there _ lose sympathy with the cause, and there are _ lose sympathy with the cause, and there are actually better ways of

after you've been through something like we've been through and our families have been through, you've got to try and get something positive out of it. you've... it's a mind—set. you've just got to. you've just got to keep going, keep going as a human being. but if you can make it slightly better for another person, that gives you hope and it gives them hope, as well. when it happens to you — you know, this thing that doesn't happen, doesn't come into your lives suddenly has — one of the very first things that you discover off the back of that is that suicide is the biggest killer of young people in the uk. if that's the case, why aren't we doing something about it? what are we? we're three dads. i suppose you get the male. stereotype that doesn't talk. we do talk. we will talk about what's happened to us and how we feel. _ we believe we can prevent so many young suicides. . you know, if the government really

want to and they debate this, - if we can push it, it'll make a massive difference. - right, let's try as though we mean it. 0k. look like three old men. in september 2022, these three dads set out on a mission. it was the second time they'd put on their walking boots to try to bring about change, having each lost a daughter to suicide. raising money and awareness was not enough. they wanted a change in legislation, a change in the way young people learned about the risk they pose to themselves. tim, andy and mike — the three dads walking. three dads to three daughters who all took their own lives — emily, sophie and beth.

it all started in 2021, when they were brought together by their grief and decided to shine a light on the issue. there they go. andy, mike and tim walking 300 miles over the next 15 days _ to raise money and awareness about suicide prevention. - on that walk, they raised almost £1 million. but the dads knew that finishing that challenge was not the end of their work. and there seemed to be a glaring gap, that we should be talking to our young people, and one of the solutions would be to actually get the schools involved. i think when we crossed the line and showed them. you know, when you said to me, "what's it like to finish?" it's like, well, we're not finished. we knew then we weren't finished, but we didn't know what it was going to be. you didn't know the shape of it. not at all. it was a logical progression to, where do we take this next? we'd done our homes. we needed to take it to london. so, ijust always saw us

walking into westminster. well, if it's to do with maps, i might as well stay here and read... they laugh. the plan took shape. the three dads would walk 600 miles between all four uk parliaments to try to get suicide prevention made a compulsory part of the school curriculum. on their first walk, they'd caught the eye of celebrities, like daniel craig and nicole kidman, who each donated £10,000 to the cause. nicole kidman saying she'd been moved after seeing their story on tv. the evening before their dad set out on this latest challenge, they sat down to messages from their friends, family and a few famous faces. hello, tim, mike and andy. it's george ezra here, just with a little message to say congratulations on everything you're doing, raising awareness.

yeah, thank you for what you're doing.
