crisis. Nick Clegg makes his case for European Union membership at the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Lib Dem conference and criticises the backward looking politics of | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
UKIP. Welcome to our lookahead at what the peoples will us tomorrow. | :00:22. | :00:38. | |
The Telegraph leads on each story about a new blood test for | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
Alzheimer's disease. It shows Prince Harry and his girlfriend enjoying | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the sunshine at Twickenham in its picture. The Daily Express shows a | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
picture of people sunning themselves on Brighton beach on what it calls | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
the warmest day of the year so far when temperatures reached 70 | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
Fahrenheit. The Guardian claims that 583,000 employees, more than double | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
the estimate of the government, signed up to zero hours contracts | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
last year. The daily Mirror says that spring seems to have finally | :01:28. | :01:40. | |
sprung. The Times leads on the missing plane amid fears that China | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
could have been the subject of a terrorist attack. The Daily Mail has | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
a story on a school head, a Muslim, driven out of her position by | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
extremists intent on taking over Muslim schools. Let us start with | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
the Daily Telegraph. This is looking at the Lib Dem spring conference. | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
Tim, what do you make of this? It is well written and beautifully | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
presented. Nick Clegg lists all the things that make Britain so great | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
such as donning shorts and flip-flops at the first tent of | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
sunshine, the spiky coverage of Private I of the royal wedding. It | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
strikes me as odd that he has to prove he loves his country and these | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
are so cliched. The fact that we like tea and that we have a stiff | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
upper lip. I canny not mention that we are an economic powerhouse. The | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
Lib Dems are very kind to their leader but to be fair he said I love | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
these things, not just that he liked them. This was much more passionate | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and the only thing I quibbled with was when he said he liked people who | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
wore T-shirts and flip-flops. I think the true Lib Dem like people | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
in T-shirts and sandals. At the heart of this, to be slightly more | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
serious, was an attempt to reclaim Patchett is from UKIP. He says that | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
his mattresses is these things which are underpinned by liberal values, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
so what he likes about Britain is the BBC, the NHS, but also the fact | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
that we were the first signatories to the European law of human rights. | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
How do you think it will go down with people outside the hall? I | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
think it is a waste of time and he will try and went over everyone who | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
hates UKIP. I feel that the only people who turn out in the next | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
round of European elections will be people who want to protest against | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
Europe. The Conservatives talk about welfare and migration. Labour talk | :04:40. | :04:57. | |
about taxing the Ridge -- rich and the Lib Dems talk about Europe. Will | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
it play well outside that constituency? I am not sure that | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
people like to be told why they love their country and I think they have | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
their own list. There may be able to watching us while drinking tea and | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
waving flip-flops. The Daily Telegraph has a headline about a | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
blood test which will show if people are likely to suffer Alzheimer's. If | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
this is correct, it will tell people earlier on if they will get this | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
horrific condition and the question is, do you want to know? Was people | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
see they do but if you are being told in your 50s or your late 60s | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
are your late 70s that you will get Alzheimer's, that is quite | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
frightening. Then there's the question of whether we will get | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
pre-genetic testing for all sorts of conditions. Then there is a question | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
of how easy it is to get life insurance if you have the condition. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
I guess the hope is that the genetic testing moves as far as medicine to | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
be able to treat it moves. If we are moving to an area where we can give | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
people a three-year warning, hopefully medicine and then help | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
with the effects over those three years. I personally know that I | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
would want to know and I would think a great number of people would want | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
to know and people feel that they can get help and treatment in | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
advance, I think this may help people through what is the condition | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
that can be very surprising and shocking and frightening and maybe | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
some preparation like that would help. Moving onto the main picture | :07:02. | :07:14. | |
story. We are seeing a lot more of young Cressida. That suggests a | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
rather adoringly. I do not know how long they had to wait for that | :07:23. | :07:35. | |
picture. What a great day out and she obviously likes it. She did | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
accompany him to a global youth conference so she is stepping out of | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
the shadows a bit. I don't blame her and looking at him rather than the | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
match because I do not imagine anything could be more boring for | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
the date than that. His eyes could be shot. He may be looking somewhere | :08:02. | :08:14. | |
else. Is she looking over his head? We will move on to the Daily Express | :08:15. | :08:33. | |
and the story about the sunshine. Today has been marvellous. I have | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
been able to walk around without freezing to death and it is | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
marvellous for this country has extraordinary variations on whether | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
and it felt like we were living in the Arctic last week but now we seem | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
to have jumped straight into spring and I am so thrilled. I never know | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
why newspapers show Brighton beach absolutely packed because it shows | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
this image and it puts me off going to a beach. It is a story that is | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
picked up in almost all the papers suggesting perhaps a quite domestic | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
news day. I think it is also a reflection of quite a difficult | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
winter of flooding and extreme weather conditions and we suffered | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
and I think this is people saying, find God that is over. We will move | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
on to The Guardian. The main story there is about zero hours. We should | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
start off with what serial our contracts are. They have certainly | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
been controversial. You said people signed up to these but they are | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
often not given a choice. What it is its companies saying they want | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
people to be available to work a set number of hours that they also have | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
exclusivity clauses. It says that we want you to be available for 18 | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
hours a week for a pass and on call any time a week so there is no | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
guarantee that you will have any work and during that time you cannot | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
apply for another job. That is ludicrous. People want to work more | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
hours than they can and they are forbidden to do this. The second | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
issue is that they do not get holiday pay of sick pay or pension | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
rights and therefore the companies are getting very cheap labour with | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
no responsibility and the workers are getting very poor deal. Some | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
people like them because they like the flexibility of being able to do | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
to three hours a week here are their around their childcare duties on | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
around other commitments they have in the life. They do work for them | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
but in the vast majority of cases they are exploitation. Because the | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
story is not so much about zero hours contracts but about the fact | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
that the figures put out the government has so underestimated | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
what the real figures are. All I would say on all those points, and I | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
agree with the great number of them, is the kind of Labour market we have | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
no rest on flexibility, especially during a difficult period when | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
companies are resistant about taking people on. Anything that has lowest | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
costs for the employer but increases flexibility for the employee is a | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
good thing but I do not think it reliable that there are problems and | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
it can lead to exploitation. Exclusivity is a problem. Last year | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
there was a survey done of people on zero hours and they found that | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
although twice as many people were as many people weren't happy with | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
the contract as were unhappy, one in five said they were penalised if | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
they could not do the work and nearly half were set to work only to | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
be sold at the last minute that it had been cancelled. You talk about | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
flexibility that flexibility is entirely on the work with nine on | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
behalf of of the employer. That is the real issue. They get away with | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
not having to pay any of the basic rights you should get as a worker. | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
But that is why the employee. You should make yourself affordable in | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
the market and to do this you surrender these rights. Who loses | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
out on this? It is you and me as the taxpayer because we'd end up topping | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
up tax credits. You can sign up for one of these contracts and be told | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
that you can work there. But it is undermining the social contract | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
between employer and apply the -- employee. That is it for the papers | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
this hour. Thank you to Jason and ten and we will be back at 11 30 | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
