03/04/2014 The Papers

player. Plus, we will round up all the day 's action from day one of

the Grand National Festival. That is in 15 minutes after the papers.

Hello. Welcome to the look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us

tomorrow. With the other financial analyst, Louise Cooper. In the

Express, it says all the smog hanging around could be a taste of

things to come with pollution levels are likely to rise in the future.

The Daily Telegraph says MPs conspired to protect Maria Miller

over serious censure over her expenses. In the Guardian it claims

the average family will be ?1000 worse off every year by the time of

the general election. In the Metro, the lights on tablets and mobile

phones could be keeping Britain awake. In the Daily Mail, they lead

on the smog. It talks about the Government 's failure to improve air

quality. We will start with the Express. It is going so well

tonight. We'll start with the Express. Smog misery hits millions.

A good story for you. On Monday morning when I wake up, there was

some dust on my car. I thought, how did that happen? Later on, I find it

is from the Sahara and it is still around. We do not know everything

about the world. You can still amaze us and cause a huge problems. We are

told tomorrow that this cloud will go. We thought it would go away

today. What is interesting and amazing is that a third of the

country 's 5.4 alien sufferers of asthma have had an attack. For us,

we have had older readers. Quite a lot will have respiratory problems.

It is a very serious story. We laugh about it. It is hilarious. It is a

very serious problem. Three people die of asthma every single day. This

is without the toxic smog from the Sahara. It is dust from the Sahara

and desist from factories and homes here in the UK. And diesel emissions

as well. Talking about the health implications, pretty much all the

909 services in those affected areas are reporting increased numbers of

calls. `` 999. You love to tease Michael about putting weather

stories on the front page of the Express. I have been here when you

have done that. I agree. I am not an editor of a national newspaper but

he is. I would have put this on the front page. As you said, this story

does affect millions. What many people who do not suffer from asthma

do not realise, it is a killer illness and it is a very serious

illness. You can see that from the statistics.

What I particularly like is that David Cameron did not go for his

morning ran and Boris Johnson ignored all the experts. I quite

like Nick Clegg. You quoted him in the paper as saying, he had not been

playing his usual games of tennis because he concentrated on a

different game back and forth Nigel Farage. I've thought this was a

London centric story to start with. It has spread all over the country.

We have got pictures of Liverpool. It is all across the north`west as

well. We did worry that it was just around here but it is everywhere. We

have all got sore throats. We had a piece this afternoon from the

Midlands area and the guy with cystic fibrosis cannot leave his

house. I live on a hill in London. You could definitely see it this

morning. Sign you are posh, living on a help. You are posh, living on a

hill. And interesting story about saving Miller. MPs overruled an

official enquiry into the Culture Secretary 's expenses planes. The

Parliamentary Commissioner had said she needed to pay back ?44,000 but

MPs said she did not. Reading through all the wire and the papers,

I have not got to the bottom of it. What I find interesting is that it

was not a secret that interest rates were cut. It was pretty much on

every single national paper and in very Bedi broadcast news. Either she

lived in a sealed box and did not realise interest rates were cut

which I cannot believe, or she clearly does not read her bank

statements. It is obvious when your mortgage interest rate goes down.

She does not bother reading her bank statements. The allegation was that

interest rates when damage she continued to claim a certain level

for her payments. Either she did not know that interest rates went

down... You did not know that? Or, she does not read her bank

statements. This is a woman as part of the Government who is getting

tough on government spending, cracking down on posterity and

supposed to ensure that every penny is spent wisely. All, she delivered

he did it. That cannot be the case. She could have been paying down a

higher level of interest, couldn't she? Normally you have to tell the

bank, I will overpay on capital. You actually have to tell your bank you

are overpaying capital. How can you not know that rates were cut 2.5%?

That has been the big story in the news. MPs are conspiring to save, in

that opinion. We have had this investigation from the standards

commissioner and said she would have to pay back 45 thousand pounds. She

apologised, apart from the fact she was prevaricating. That is why she

has apologised. She has said, I have dealt with the matter. 832 seconds

statement of apology in the House of Commons, it is said. The Daily

Telegraph push this story initially. They are like a dog with a bone. It

was just after the Levinson enquiry and she was the Culture Secretary.

They are a dog with a bone because her aide said, you do know she is

involved with looking forward to a new press commission, or whatever it

is going to be. Therefore, you do not want to print this sort of a

story. She was involved in the regulation of the press. It is

probably best if you did not investigate. You get the impression

the Daily Telegraph will not leave this alone. The Labour Party will

not leave this alone. They say she should resign over this. Listening

to our deputy political editor, he was saying there are whispers that

Mr Cameron cannot lose another one from his Cabinet. `` another woman.

Also, she may be reshuffled to the Welsh office but that is just

rumour. In the Guardian, heavy drinkers will be allowed liver

transplants. This is a very emotive story. The classic one here is

George Best. He had a transplant and then died of the illness. This is

very difficult. It is very problematic and emotive. Anyone

waiting for a liver transplant that needs a liver because it is an

illness not of their own fault with look at this and say why would

someone with alcohol problems get a liver ahead of me. It is very

difficult. They are saying this is just a trial of 20 patients, a pilot

scheme. They are saying it is young alcoholics who have not realise the

damage they have done to themselves. Once they get a new liver they will

then stop drinking and therefore it is worth doing. Now, in this

country, we have a problem with signing people up to donate organs

as it is. I think this needs to be handled incredibly carefully. We

cannot afford to lose public support for organ donation. This is a very

difficult decision. It is a trial. The organ transplant service says it

is a pilot scheme and it is worthwhile. The reason for this is

because there are so many people who are dying of liver disease. It seems

as if there are so many people. They cannot leave them. They will say

there are so many people who are drinking too much he will get liver

disease. You cannot leave them all. The head of the NHS Blood and

Transplant service said, we transplant humans and not angels.

You are not refused cancer treatment because you smoke. You're not put

back together because you skydive. Those with the Bay City get treated.

Sky they have tried to stop people from drinking. Certain shops have

stopped stocking up of four counts of very strong lager which certain

people were going in and it was cheap. They have increased ranges of

craft beers and things like that, which have more alcohol in them. You

move it from there and it goes over there. It is still fairly cheap. If

people want to drink, they will drink. That is the problem. They

will need to tackle it and give people like this transplant

otherwise there would be huge numbers of people dying. ) it is a

pilot scheme and it will be interesting to see what comes out of

that story. We will stay with the Guardian. The US created Cuban

twitter network to create an arrest. I think they do it for laughs. It is

a bit of fun. They have tried everything else. They have created

their own form of Cuban twitter. The associated press have been doing

some digging on this found out that this was deliberately set up to

encourage Flash mobs in the Communist country and social media

`based protests. So we will have a Cuban spring. It's a great idea.

It's hilarious. They drag up this memo. There would be no mention of

the US government involvement, said this member. It will give the

appearance of a commercial enterprise. And man was quoted on

behalf the US government, Idaho he managed to save this about laughing,

and said it was not a covert programme and it was a development

assistance programme. They said it was discreet, note covert for the

better difference. This is weird than trying to blow up the Dell

Castro with his own cigar? It's on a par. They say that's not what they

were aiming to do. It will be a comedy Trojan horse. That's so

funny. Such a great story. Let's go back to the express. Cracking photo,

this. It was the best photo, actually. The Queen and the Pope

make all the front pages. They are the most famous people in the entire

world. I wonder, I'm God 's representative on earth, no, I am.

I'm sure there was. I love the fact Prince Philip is holding the risky.

It has to be said, the Pope does have very beady`eyed bunnies looking

at that. He's thinking, that's my whiskey. He has got sick of

communion wine. Piquancy Balmoral whiskey. The alcohol is from a

hamper which was the Queen 's official present to the Pope and

included grandad's chutney. Venison and beer. Will she be allowed to

give Scotch whiskey, if Scotland votes to leave us? If Alex Salmond

allows her into the country to visit Balmoral. OK, the same picture, but

a slightly different take on it, actually. No alcohol on the front of

the Guardian. Interesting, though, the first foreign visit for three

years. Yes, she likes to meet the Pope, and the Queen does that.

There's Pope, particularly, Francis, seems keen on these opportunities as

well. Hands across the ocean. He has been the good PR Pope. This serves

to help him and the Catholic Church change the image that had over the

last few years. Relations between the two have improved since Henry

VIII because they didn't get on them. They've had a testy

relationship recently. You will be back in one hour. Many thanks for

that. Stay with us here on BBC News. We will get more on all that high

pollution and the problems there. Look at that. That's what it's all

about. But coming up next it's time for Sportsday.

Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm John Watson. On the way tonight.
