We'll have the latest on England's preparations for the World Twenty20 | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in Bangladesh in Sportsday in 15 minutes, after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Hello there and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
bringing us tomorrow. The Westminster editor for the Daily | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
Record and the Asssistant p editor of the Spectator join me. The | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Financial Times leads with Mark Carney's shake`up at the Bank of | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
England as he warns that risks are building in the housing market. The | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Daily Telegraph has calls for senior MPs of the 2022 World Cup to be | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
rerun. The Met row says tensions boiled over when a soldier and | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
militiamen were gunned down by Russian forces. More on that story | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
in The Guardian `` the Met the Metro. D militiamen were gunned down | :01:03. | :01:18. | |
by Russian forces. More on that story in The Guardian `` the Metro. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
We'll talk about Mick Jagger's heartbreak after his girlfriend | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
reportedly commits suicide. Exactly 60 years this year Russia | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
lost Crimea or rather it was handed over to Ukraine? Yes, here we are at | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
the stroke of a pen and within three weeks, with the assistance of some | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
soldier, Russia's annex add territory in Europe, the first time | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
it's been done since before the Second World War. The Guardian | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
states the imperial scene of the Russian President coming to address | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
the Kremlin and really being quite furious claiming Russia's been | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
cheated again and again with decisions being taken behind their | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
back, reeling against the West, claiming that this wasn't Russian | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
aggression that, there had been no shots fire and no casualties. That | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
didn't last long because the Crimean soldier lost his life. Obviously, | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
for Russia, this is no turning back. Half way through the story, it flips | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
to show the scene in the West with William Hague in the House of | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Commons warning of consequences. Exactly. Isabelle, twhes and | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
principally the European Union and America have been outflanked again | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
by Mr Putin. We saw it happen on the situation in Syria and it's | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
continuing to happen with Syria `` the west and principally the | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
European Union. The response to the sanctions has been derice i, the | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
sanctions make no difference at all and have probably been part of | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Putin's calculations all along and have probably been something he can | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
weather. The debate today, Sir Malcolm Rifkind gave a forceful, | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
disapproving speech. He was warning Europe that actually failing to act | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
even if it's in a way that costs European countries something, will | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
cost Europe as a community far more in the long`term. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Yes, sanctions themselves have consequences as well, Europe fears | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
that. Exactly. But there is a School of Thought suggesting you didn't | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
want to be too hard with the sangtions going in at the beginning | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
because if you were really hard, that might push pew into going | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
further town the east. Is there credence in that do you think? `` | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
push Putin into going further. The G8 mean pollutely nothing to him, in | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
fact they are part of the calculation he's made, he doesn't | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
really care. Rifkind said today Putin needs feel the hurt of these | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
sanctions on the Russian economy that. Might mean European economies | :03:59. | :04:15. | |
taking a bit of a hit as well. The Russian population can take a | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
far hit than the Soft western populations. Putin is running this | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
to his own timetable. He says he's not going to go any further. We | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
don't want to see Ukraine split up any more, he says. Should we believe | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
him? He's obviously not going to announce plans to have tanks rolling | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
further into Ukraine or anything like that, but what he'd be more | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
likely to do would be to talk about protecting the population at risk, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
as he devoid Crimea. If there's any m un unrest, he'd be licking his | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
lips hoping that would happen, that would be the way. I liked the line | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
last week that if she's worried about Russian minorities, why | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
doesn't he protect them in Chelsea. Exactly. Let's stay with The | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Guardian actually. There's a strange picture of a new coin coming into | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
circulation. The Queen was apparently told about it this | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
evening, in the last couple of hours by the chance, will and it would be | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
a big announcement in the budget tomorrow? The exciting overnight | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
briefing for budget tomorrow. We are getting a new pound coin which is an | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
anti`forgery pound coin with 12 signed two colours and looks | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
suspiciously like a euro actually. You wonder whether there's something | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
big being stored back for tomorrow's budget announcement. I don't Kneen | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
undermine Osborne's excitement about the new pound coin, but it's not | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
exactly the sort of thing people will be leaping in the streets with | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
excitement about saying this will solve all of my problems `` I don't | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
mean to undermine Osborne's excitement. | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
It's actually a sort of gold and slightly less gold rabbit and the | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
point is that it's to make it more difficult to forming? Yes, twost | :06:12. | :06:26. | |
metals, 12`sided. `` it's two metals, 12 sided. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
The pound is 30 years old. He's getting rid of it with a look over | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
his shoulder because it's a nostalgic look. The thriftny bit was | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
popular during the blitz because you could feel nit your pocket. If Putin | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
turps the gas off, we might want to do that again in the blackout. This | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
isn't good enough for you, this announcement tomorrow? The | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
threepenny bit coming back, it's not the kind of thing you want to hear | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
in a budget, you want more? It's easy for Labour to say Osborne's | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
changing the shape of the pound coin but that doesn't may doesn't may any | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
difference to the family who is have however many less hundreds of pounds | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
in their pockets. Labour are going to drum on about this because they | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
know people are hurting and feeling it. Osborne will say the economy's | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
growing, that in the next quarter we'll be back to 2008 rates of gold, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
that wages will have gone up higher than prices this year, but go tell | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
that to the marines. Nobody feels that in their pockets. OK, on to the | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Daily Telegraph. It is suggesting, down bottom, don't blow Britain's | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
recovery by borrowing too much, from the Governor of the Bank of England, | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Mark Carney. He is saying that his policy, his policy of keeping | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
interest rates at record lows should not mean people go out and splash | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
the cash. That sounds bizarre, that Tess the whole point of having a low | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
interest rate policy? This is the problem with the low interest rate | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
policy is that it's incentivised people to borrow and it's punished | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
savers. It's a little strange that rather than changing the incentives, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the Governor's saying we know this is very attractive to borrow at low | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
cost bus please don't do it and hoping Brits will be obedient, while | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
at the same time overseeing the Help To Buy policy which encourages | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
borrowing. At 95%. But he's the bank manage, he has to say don't borrow. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
I like this guy, he can't stay away from the news vent, he has to put | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
his oar in. He put it into the Scottish independence issue. He's | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
advising us and warning against excessive risk taking by households | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
on financial traders requests rs "requests. I wonder how the words | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
will go down with Neil Trotter, the guy who's just won ?108 million. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Yes. He won't need borrow anything. He won't be holding back. He'll be | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
splashing the cash somewhat. The suggestion has been made that | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
perhaps Canadians with lots of low interest rates swirling around them | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
wouldn't splash the cash the way that perhaps we are, we are just a | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Professorially Kate bunch and Mr Karni's `` Carney Reiterating that | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
point? There's one interesting thing about this. He's had to adjust to | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
the way his interventions are read. He's often read as being more | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
political than previous governors, perhaps because he's not used to the | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
way things are going to be interpreted. When he steps in and | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
says something that's helpful to Osborne and not Miliband | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
necessarily, it's read as being partisan. That's your fault isn't | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
it? ! Politicians are used to being | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
careful. Know the lie of the land. Maybe he does have to make, tune his | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
dialogue down. Onto the Daily Express. UKIP's U`turn on gay | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
marriage. It's pretty straightforward, what he's saying, | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
there needs no calibration. There he's going against a policy that has | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
been forefront and centre for UKIP for some time. Thnchts may pb a you | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
are `` This may be a surprise for Daily Express leaders. UKIP | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
distinguishing itself by being outside the mainstream consensus on | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
almost everything. It's a story from the pink paper, from a Q he did | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
from pink news. Picked up on it then. Yes, they have. He has been | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
asked if he would go back on gay marriage. He said no. It's an | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
interesting signal. It's Farage mainstreaming hisself. He always | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
said `` himself. He always said he would do that. It's a test for him | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
as well. He's a leader. He's having to lead his party now. Follow me. | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Some may not feel that comfortable with. It that's what successful | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
leaders do. It's upsetting for some people. It's a bold thing to do | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
ahead of European elections. There are some UKIP voters who are UKIP | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
partly because they believe in the past and they don't see of the other | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
parties representing that. For him to say that they wouldn't repeal gay | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
marriage is a break with that. And also a certain amount of honesty. | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
UKIP pitches itself as a Libertarian party. That's been a contradiction, | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
you are can't be a Libertarian party that opposes gay marriage. Perhaps | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
he's trying to make UKIP more grown up at a costly time for him. He | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
wants to get the best result possible in the European elections. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
This may upset some of the natural voters. He wants to make UKIP | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
attractive to voters. The majority of voters do not oppose gay | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
marriage. That's what most politicians want to do. He may have | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
a problem pulling some members of the party with him. Where else can | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
they go? He won't have a problem with the wider population. He's on | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
the march. Onto the Daily Record. "I want to be the next First Minister", | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
the Deputy First Minister making her pitch. One assumes she would be the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
heir apparent any way. There is no vacancy. Exactly. But there is an | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
inheritance strategy. Whenever Alex Salmond appears on his helicopter, | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
the first person to greet him is the heir apparent Nicola Sturgeon. They | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
work as an effective team in the Scottish Parliament and referendum | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
campaign. He's ready and willing to do it when the time comes. She wants | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
to be Queen Nick is what they say. It's exactly six months to the day | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
to the vote in September. How are the polls looking? The polls are | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
tight. It looks like it's going to be a tight result. The last poll was | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
in the Daily Record last week, which had if I remember rightly, no ` 39, | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
sorry, let me get this right. Now that is a story. Yes, 39. No 48. | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
That's the way it was. If you strip away the don't knows, obviously I | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
sound a bit undecided myself there! It's 45, 55, in favour of staying in | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
the UK. There's six months to go. It's tight. It's a big task to turn | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
around that kind of lead. But they're a capable team. Indeed, the | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
suggestion is that Mr Salmond is the kind of man that people will follow | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
in the way that Nigel Farage hopefully feels that he can be that | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
kind of person for his party. The race has tightened a little bit. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Yes, and you see the Westminster parties trying to work out what | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
their offer is. You had Scottish Labour today setting out its | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
devolution offer if Scotland doesn't vote to go independent, which | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
includes devolving more powers on welfare, for instance. Now Labour | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
was given a scare by the SNP on the bedroom tax, which it eventually, | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
after a campaign by the Record, decided to back repeeling. We will | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
be back in an hour's time. Many thanks for that. Stay with us here, | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
at the top of the hour we have much more on the situation in Ukraine. | :14:44. | :14:44. | |
But now, it's time for Sportsday. Hello. Welcome to Sportsday. Here's | :14:45. | :15:04. | |
what's on the way tonight: Chelsea march on in Europe as they cruise | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
into the quarter finals of the Champions League. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
David Moyes is defiant, as he faces questions over his Manchester United | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
future. And England | :15:18. | :15:18. |
