hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova, deputy political editor and columnist at the mail on sunday and jonathan walker, political editor of the birmingham post and mail. welcome to you both. our front—pages, the pm pouring water on the prospect of a trade deal is the is top story. the same story in the i's top story. the same story in the guardian. along with a picture of borisjohnson and kamala harris. the times has this story. the telegraph leads on france potentially giving up its seat on the un security council to be replaced with the eu, in a push for european military integration. the battle to get a gp appointment is the metro row focus. it says one patient called 673 times to be told there were no slots available. testify 36 the ft says the international energy agency has urged russia to send more gas to europe to help alleviate the energy crisis. so an interesting picked bag. we will begin with what is happening in the us first of all, anna, the i, no deal with us on trade admits the prime minister. a trade deal that was much vaunted before brexit, with the united states, now looking like a remote prospect. some years down the line. ~ , , ., ., ., the line. absolutely, more and more remote indeed, _ the line. absolutely, more and more remote indeed, i— the line. absolutely, more

more remote indeed, i think we spent half a decade since 2016 thinking that, being told this is one of the big prizes, a stand alone deal with the us, and of course under president trump this was in the offering but borisjohnson has been quite keen to make very clear that there is not one imminently possible, and today didn't even, wouldn't answer questions on whether he thought it might happen by the next election, so, a lot of papers are leading with this almost plan b situation, where now, the focus might not be on the stand alone us uk trade deal but for the uk instead an existing pact between the us, mexico and canada, so obviously it is not quite the big prize that a lot of brexiteers would hope for. prize that a lot of brexiteers would ho -e for. �* prize that a lot of brexiteers

again, but i wonder whether, contrary to whatjonathan says, i wonder how often gps feel under pressure to prescribe drugs as well. there could be a two pronged problem here, and how many of those drugs that get press cribs never get taken or thrown away. it’s that get press cribs never get taken or thrown away-— or thrown away. it's a good point. the statistics _ or thrown away. it's a good

statistics in this report speak| the statistics in this report speak for themselves, the pressure would not have changed over the last few years, yet the number being prescribed by per person is i remember 20 per person annually now which has doubled in two decades, so thatis which has doubled in two decades, so that is a shocking stat. of course pressure on gps is huang but i don't think it would have challenged a dramatically, something else is going on i patients are saying they are not being listened to and that is slightly tallies with what we are seeing, the concerns on gps not seeing, the concerns on gps not seeing people in person, it is one can feed into the other, and the worry is if people are not getting face to face appointments they might feel over zoom it will be harder to get listened to and harder to get heard, so, ithink get listened to and harder to get heard, so, i think the, get listened to and harder to get heard, so, ithink the, what get listened to and harder to get heard, so, i think the, what you suggest about borisjohnson is he is saying gps need to start seeing people in person more, this report is more about prescriptions but it sounds like the, some of the factors play into each other here. thea;r play into each other here. they could be connected _ play into each other here. they could be connected easily. - play into each other here.

it is such a difficult thing to check, often, anna, isn't it, | to check, often, anna, isn't it, what your pension should be, have you been paid it properly, it's a convoluted process, particularly if you have to check it online and you are not confident about doing that. absolutely, it shouldn't require a degree to understand all this, it should be straightforward. there have been so many times pensioners have been so many times pensioners have been so many times pensioners have been tweaked and changed and chopped and changed over so many years now, to get your head round it and the rules changed, so the year as which people will been eligible for the state pension keeps going up and up, and asjonathan mentioned, the waspi women who were unfairly treated, and it is a shopping unfairness, purely really caused bier a system that was designed to introduce a change that ended up adversely affected so many women once again, and now this sounds a bit more like this is an it problem, as opposed to an, and something to do with human errors about the way it is intut putted and the report by national audit office actually says that the complexity of the current rules fed into why this could have happened, so, once again, ithink there this probably needs to be a focus on how to simplify the system and increase education about it, and make it much more accessible and much more easy to understand so people can monitor their finances and pension. let people can monitor their finances and pension-— and pension. let us look at the guardian jonathan, _ and pension. let

protesters we have seen about a variety of different thing, some of them intent on being arrested because i think writing letters and waving banners isn't getting the message through about climate change. notjust change. not just writing change. notjust writing letters, so this is a group called insulate britain, they say ex theion rebellion is too moderate. they are known for crossing the line often with what is lawful to get attention and to raise awareness. and these activists are more bent on that and the story is that ministers are trying to give police more powers to be able to tackle this and be able to have greater powers of arrest, and, being able to actually do something about it when such a situation of the m25 being road blocked once again, comes across. jonathan, the patience is wearing thin with some people who feel the protestors, while they have a very clear message, they are too disruptive to parts of life when people are trying to get to work and thatis
