impressive target of 304 runs. And we will show with the goals from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
England's women's victory in the Cyprus Cup. That is all in Sportsday | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in 15 minutes after the papers. Hello there and welcome to our | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
lookahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With Wii | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
broadcaster Daisy McAndrew and Owen Jones, author and columnist. -- with | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
me are. Starting with the Telegraph, middle-class Britons have reaped the | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
most benefits from immigration, but working class people have not. The | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Financial Times says the Bank of England is embroiled in the | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
allegations over foreign exchange manipulation. A warning over sugar | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
is the lead on the front page of the Daily Mail. And the Guardian leads | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
on the Ukraine, saying Western attempts to force Moscow to back | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
down are bailing. Finally, the Daily Mirror focuses on bankers' bonuses, | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
which it says are sparking more fury. We will start with the | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Guardian, deadlock as Russia digs in over Crimea, US making unacceptable | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
ultimatums as talks to resolve the crisis falter. William Hague has | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
been speaking this evening, he said no-one has budged on their position. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
I would imagine deadlock is a word we will be seeing a lot more of in | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the next few days over the situation in Crimea. And the reason there is | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
deadlock is Russia, for example, is denying they have invaded Crimea, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
they are claiming these are autonomous self defence squads who | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
have sprung up and are defending Russian speaking people within | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Crimea. I think the problem is, though, is that it is complex. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Russia have clearly invaded Ukraine, despite their claims, and are | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
exploiting a crisis on the ground. But a democratically elected | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
government which abused Ian Wright has been overthrown and replaced by | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
a government which includes far right extremists. -- which abused | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
human rights. There was an attempt to ban Russian as a official | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
language, which caused real fear among the Russian minority. There | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
has to be guarantees in any deal for the Russian minority, the right for | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Crimea to determine its own future. It was gifted, if you like, to | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Ukraine. That is not to say that most Russian speakers want to join | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Russia, that is not the case, but that has to be settled. And there | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
have to be free elections in Ukraine to actually have a proper | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
representative government. There were attempts to ban political | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
parties in Ukraine following the uprising which took place. It is a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
very divided country, divided between West and East, and it is | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
difficult to see not just how we can get peace between Russia and | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Ukraine, but peace within Ukraine. I agree that the situation is much | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
more complex than the headlines would lead us to believe, it is not | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
as simple as saying Russia is the bogeyman, the baddie, that were | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Ukrainians are being bullied by Russia. It is more complex. Although | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
most of us might not understand that, all the people around those | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
tables do understand. All the politicians understand that, John | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Kerry understands, David Cameron understands, and yet they are not | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
getting anywhere with these negotiations, which must mean that | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
somebody is not budging. And it does look like it is President Putin who | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
is not budging on anything. Today we have just seen a rash of phone calls | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
and photo opportunities, and you know, we have had Merkel and Putin | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
and Obama and Cameron, they have all been at it, and we have had the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
meeting in Paris, and tonight we still seem to be no further forward. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Yes, talking about the possibility that it is the Russians who are not | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
budging, clearly the West is digging its heels in as well. There was an | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
agreement back in February that would have potentially stopped all | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
this happening, but we're not in a time machine, we cannot go back, but | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
there was an agreement just before Yanukovych was kicked out of power | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
or deposed, that would have changed the constitution and would have made | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
elections happen before the end of May. If the opponents of Yanukovych | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
had got their way, we may not be in this mess, and yet the West doesn't | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
want to go back to that agreement - the Russians do. Yes, but we can | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
understand why they do, but of course everything has changed since | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
then, and we are all in agreement that the previous Ukrainian | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
government was no great shakes, it was violating human rights. So | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
everything has changed, but where we go from here, apart from the sabre | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
rattling and that their baiting is difficult to see. It is an awkward | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
situation in the sense that, if you like, Russia have got themselves in | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
a position where, in terms of their rhetoric, they are saying, we are | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
trying to defend an elected government that was overthrown by | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
force, whilst the West are supporting it. An elected government | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
that seemed to be murdering its own people. Democracy does, you know, if | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
you are violating your own citizens, that is something | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
different, it is undemocratic. I agree, there was clearly terrible | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
repression which took place at attacks on human rights, but police | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
officers were violently killed as well. This was not a peaceful | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
uprising, there was violence on both sides, and the West has got itself | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
in an order situation where it has supported a democratically elected | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
government, and it did the same in Egypt as well. From the perspective | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
of Russia, they would argue, you have violated international in | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Iraq, Israel violates international law in Palestine, Saudi Arabia | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
invaded Bahrain. If we are going to talk about international being | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
consistently upheld, those issues have to be addressed, because at the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
moment it seems international law is used to attack your opponent when it | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
is inconvenient for you. It is the ultimate political cliche, but two | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
wrongs don't make a right. You cannot start and picking the last | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
ten years of international relations. We need to address the | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
issue, because this is symptomatic of the fact that the international | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
has broken down, international is not consistently upheld, and we will | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
get more crises unless it is addressed. This is why this is going | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
to take a long time to sort out, folks! We will sort out the world in | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
the paper review! Let's go on to the Daily Telegraph, Daisy, middle-class | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
people are being blamed for migration, apparently. This is a | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
speech that James Brokenshire, the new Conservative immigration | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
minister, will be making tomorrow or this week, and clearly he is going | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
to be coming down, as the Tory party tends to do, had on immigration, but | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
he is particularly going to side himself with working-class Brits, | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
working-class voters, you could fill in the dots, and say that one of the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
problems with immigration is that the middle classes benefit from | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
immigration, both by employing cheap labour, either in their house, as we | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
might remember his predecessor did, and that is the reason why his | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
predecessor was kicked out of office, for illegally employing an | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
immigrant who did not have the right to work. But apparently the middle | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
class are demanding cheaper labour, they are not just... Their action is | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
setting the market rate, and as a result only some were Romanian or | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
whatever, that is the contention, who was willing to work for it. As | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
with so many political stories, this is much more to do with the way | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
people feel than the reality. I think what the message really is is | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
that working-class people or people on a lower income feel more | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
threatened by immigrants than the middle classes, and not only do they | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
feel more threatened because these people are taking their jobs, but | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
they look at the middle classes and see they are benefiting, and that is | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
why they are pro-immigration. Personally, I don't believe a word | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
of it, and I think it is blatant electioneering. UKIP could have | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
written that. I do not like the phraseology, blamed for migration, | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
like blamed for crime. There are concerns about immigration, but most | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
people would say, actually, it has enriched our society, there have | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
been many positives that we all take for granted. And count opposing | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
middle class and working class, a lot of working-class people are | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
immigrants or former immigrants, those cleaning the toilets of Tory | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
ministers, in that case illegally so. The fact is, firstly, we never | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
hear the positives like the fact that our NHS is propped up by | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
immigrants nurses and doctors, and a lot of social problems in society, | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
often wind up scapegoating immigrants. So for example, the | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
failure of successive governments to build another housing to meet | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
needs, people go, not enough housing, why is it going to | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
immigrants? It is the same with wages, wages have been falling | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
because of minimum wage being allowed to fall in real terms, weak | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
unions, globalisation, and immigrants get scapegoated for it. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
It is quite convenient for politicians of all stripes to say, | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
not us, these problems are not our fault. But peoples concerns are very | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
real, and they do feel this, and rightly or only in many people's | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
opinion, there is a sense that there are too many people coming. That is | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
exactly the point, they do feel it, and although it is an helpful for us | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
to be agreeing... It is not an helpful! People feel threatened | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
because politicians and certain sections of the media are constantly | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
telling them things that neither of us believe are true. Tomorrow he | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
will be saying that they push house prices up and push wages down - | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
they, immigrants. It is a load of rubbish! The evidence we have is | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
that a report that has been concealed and not released. It is | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
just being fine tuned, Daisy, please! They get more money in taxes | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
from immigrants than they pay out in benefits. These headlines do not | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
help, they are relentlessly negative, they only include extreme | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
examples which are negative to make people's blood boil. The Telegraph | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
says British women have been crowned the Queens of leisure. 27 minutes a | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
day spent watching telly. At least! Repaint our nails and read magazines | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
and do nothing all day. It says so in the Telegraph. How long do those | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
nails take? If you could see how chips they are, you would realise! I | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
spend hours on mine. This is funnily enough a good news story. The OECD | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
is comparing countries. We should be proud of the fact that our women | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
seem to have so much leisure time. I must say, British women are beaten | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
by British men, who have even more. Of course. This report also says, in | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
a possible blow to national pride, that no matter how they might think | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
of themselves as new men, British men have been overtaken by their | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
counterparts in France in terms of pulling their weight around the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
house. So even Frenchmen are better than us? They do more hoovering. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Then something is clearly going wrong. I am surprised at this, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
because we do work some of the longest hours in Europe in this | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
country. But not as productive as we should be. And we do have longer | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
holidays. No, we have less bank holidays than a lot of other | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
countries. But we have longer weeks off work from our jobs. We do more | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
unpaid overtime than a lot of other countries. That is worth aliens to | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
employers. Voices are saying yes, we do, in my earpiece. Dickensian ways | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
at the BBC! Exactly. We will not go into that any further. 106 minutes | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
watching TV? Who has time for that 's women! Don't you multitask | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
mother? You watch TV while doing your e-mails. Facebook stalking, is | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
that work or leisure? Because we multitask, we save up that extra | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
free time. Let's quickly go to the Daily Mail. Cut your sugar intake by | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
half. Children should not be having fizzy drinks. My biggest achievement | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
last year was halving the amount of sugar I have in my tea, so I am | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
ahead of the curve. This is fascinating. They are arguing that | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
all this idea that fat is the problem and that you should stick to | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
a low-fat diet, when actually, obesity has been going up. So they | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
have gone, maybe that is not why we have this problem. So they are | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
suggesting that sugar intake is the issue. It is surprising because, I | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
am quoting statistics from the Daily Mail, wow! Well, that is fair | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
enough, because it is the paper we are talking about. They say no more | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
than 60 spoons for a child. We think one banana has seven teaspoons of | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
sugar in it -- no more than six teaspoons for a child. If you are | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
child, you have your daily recommended guidelines. This is a | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
serious issue, because sugars are often completely disguised. Daisy, | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
are you working on this with your kids? All the time. If you look | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
further into this report, it is about obesity and health issues, but | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
they say the number-1 health issue is into care. How long have we been | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
saying, don't have so many sweets or your teeth will fall out to our | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
children? Distil the case, do -- dental care is a real problem . But | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
how exhausted as everybody at the moment? This morning, we were being | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
told you must not do the high protein diets because of this | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
Californian report that says you will get cancer. Now we are told | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
that the low-fat diet is bad for you. Now it is sugar, so it is | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
exhausting. What are you supposed to actually eat? It is a simple rule, | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
variety and moderation. And on that Michelle... It is a kind of Jerry | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Springer and to the programme. Wise words. You will both be back in an | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
hour to look at more of the stories behind the headlines. Stay with us | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
on BBC News, because at 11 o'clock, we will have the latest on the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine and get a report | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
from our world affairs editor John Simpson, who is in Sevastopol in | :15:15. | :15:29. | |
