And coming up after the papers, the Film Review takes a look at Piers | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Brosnan and Emma Thompson's new film, The Love Punch. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
us tomorrow. With me are the barrister Sophia Cannon, and Tim | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
Montgomerie from The Times. The Financial Times claims that | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
Barclays is poised to announce it is to pull out of parts of its | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
commodity business. The paper says an announcement is due later in the | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
week. The Daily Telegraph features the new portrait of the Queen taken | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
by David Bailey and released to celebrate her 88th birthday | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
tomorrow. The paper leads on a letter which 55 public figures have | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
signed which accuses David Cameron of fostering alienation by his | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
insistence that Britain is still a Christian country. A striking | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
picture of the Pope graces the cover of the Guardian, greeting crowds | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
after his Easter mass. The paper also reports on how the shootout at | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
a Ukrainian checkpoint is threatening the Geneva peace deal. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The Independent highlights a report which it says shows teachers are | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
facing an increasing amount of online abuse by pupils. The Times | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
says the Chancellor may soon find some room for tax cuts, according to | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
some latest research on consumer spending. The Mail reports on the | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
rise in skin cancer cases since the 1970's being blamed on more holidays | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
taken abroad. The Express highlights the improving survival rates for | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
people with skin cancer. And the Sun reports on how the graves of some | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
World War One heroes have become neglected because they are not being | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
officially maintained. Let's begin with the Daily | :01:46. | :02:03. | |
Telegraph. That headline, which is not in any of the other papers, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
David Cameron divides Britain over faith. This letter, signed by 55 | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
prominent people, was saying that he is at risk of alienating people. I | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
think this is nonsense. If David Cameron or the PM was a Muslim, and | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
it talked about his Islamic faith, then people would not have dared | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
criticise him for saying that. If he was an atheist and talked about | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
that, people would say it was great that he had the courage to do this. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
All he is doing, is he is a man who has been deeply comforted by his | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
religious faith over the last few years, particularly after the death | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
of his son. He is talking about his fate, and they think it is | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
regrettable that people are trying to shut him down for saying this. He | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
is not in any way trying to stop other people from different faith | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
traditions having their say, playing their full part in British public | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
life, and they think what we have here is some people who quite enjoy | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
taking offence doing exactly that. You think it is Christian bashing? I | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
think he is trying to alienate Ukip. He has alienate some people by not | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
allowing `` by allowing gay marriage, and that has pushed some | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
people to Ukip. We always knew that David Cameron, and Tony Blair, who | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
couldn't wait to convert to Catholicism, have been prime | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
ministers of faith. Coming out at this time, at this stage, saying it, | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
it is a political move. I see him as someone who spends far to much time | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
following politics, and he has given a number of Easter messages. That is | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
including before the gay marriage issue. Perhaps people are paying | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
more attention to what he says now, because it is before the general | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
election, but he is not saying anything very new from things he | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
said last time. I want my PM legislating, not proselytising. The | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
article says, we respect the fate of the PM, but we wish to object to the | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
repeated characterisation of our country as a Christian country, and | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
the negative consequences for our politics and society that this view | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
engenders. I think they are wrong, this is a Christian country. Through | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
a quirk of our political system, we have an established church and state | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
and they are linked together. In this we are going to have them | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
disestablished, this is a Christian country and we have to support that | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
in any way, shape or form. We have this idea that our church and state | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
are knitted together. And think what is great about our country, is that | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
you can send your child to a Christian, was long, Jewish school, | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
a school with no religious background. Anyone of any religion | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
can serve in the House of Representatives. We are one of the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
most tolerant societies, and what these people try to do is that `` | :05:14. | :05:25. | |
they tried to say that you can have any faith except Christianity. We | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
will move on, it is thought the French President has information | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
that points to the fact that Bashar al`Assad has continued to use | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
chemical weapons. I think 2014 will go down as the year of the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
dictator, and also the year of people in the West doing nothing. | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
But we have proof? What is that? If we believe that Bashar al`Assad is | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
using chemical weapons and killing his people, we should have stepped | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
in in March. It wouldn't stand up in a court of law, to think that. Sigh | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
and there is more than a whiff, isn't that? We know that chemical | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
weapons were used in the civil war. Bashar al`Assad's troops possessed | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
those weapons, even if he didn't use them himself he was responsible for | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
their safety. At that time, remember Barack Obama saying that it is a red | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
line and if it is crossed we will take action, President Putin the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
main sponsor, he looked into Obama's eyes and said, these people | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
don't mean what they say and I will take advantage of that. You are | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
agreeing wholeheartedly with that? Wholeheartedly. It is a slippery | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
slope on where we go. Staying with Syria and Ukraine, look at the | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Financial Times. The picture on the back of the pope informal downs the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Vatican, with Easter Sunday being a major highlight of the Christian | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
calendar. The Pope leading prayers for peace in Syria and Ukraine. The | :07:20. | :07:30. | |
Pope is doing more than the EU and the West by saying, pull your finger | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
out and get this done. In Ukraine, it is an orthodox question country, | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
and it should hopefully listen to this pontiff. I know they have their | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
own pontiff, but there is the idea that this Pope is saying more about | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
world peace than the UN and the EU at the moment. I think one of the | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
things is, other Christian leaders notice as well, this is an age of | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
extraordinary Christian persecution. The wars and conflicts that we are | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
seeing in the Middle East mean that the Christian populations of that | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
region, who once lived quite peacefully in coexistence with | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Muslims and other people, are being driven out of the region. Syria was | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
a place were particularly Christian worship was free. Now, Christians | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
are very embattled as they are in Iraq and Egypt and other places, and | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
a pink one of the reasons why the Pope is so clear and anxious about | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
this decision, is that he is here from the frontline about her serious | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
the situation is. A charming picture on the Guardian. This shows why this | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
Pope is so popular. He must be up there with Justin Bieber, the Queen, | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
Kim Kardashian... He is well`known, he is well and well liked. Not very | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
often you say that about a Pope. The main stories about Ukraine and the | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
shootout we have been reporting on that Sloviansk. The Ukrainian crisis | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
is showing all the signs of hitting the wrong way. We had a little bit | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
of hope last week when we have those breakthrough talks between America, | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Europe and Ukraine, but the trouble is now that you have so much | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
intermingling of these little green men, basically Russian troops that a | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
well`equipped but don't have the insignia of the official Russian | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
army, with Ukrainian paramilitaries, Ukrainian army, and there is no one | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
really in control any more. Of course there is! Vladimir Putin is | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
in control! He has been in control from the start. And the West has sat | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
on air like an old man trying to satisfy his wife, sitting at the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
front door with a half cocked gun while Vladimir Putin is sneaking up | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
the drainpipe. It is that clear. We can't do anything unless we want to | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
do something, and we are not, we are impotent. Back to the UK, we are | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
going to look at the Daily Mail. A huge rise in skin cancer cases since | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
the 1970s, claimed on Sunshine getaways. Everybody remembers the | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
carry on film where they are all going off to Costa Del Sol. Appears | :10:38. | :11:00. | |
that it is the, the Costa Del Kill. There has been an increase... If you | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
look onto the Daily Express, a very different story. They must wonder | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
who has got the story right, because that is the success in war on skin | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
cancer. Because eight in ten people survive, and it is the most common | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
cancer in the UK, it is survivable if it is recognisable. You have to | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
check your skin, and you have to make sure when you go on holiday | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
that you don't burn, and that you do cover`up. As brown as IM, I myself | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
got burnt, and I have children who are mixed race, and you have to be | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
so careful. One person who appears to have very good scheme would be | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Her Majesty, and distorted for her 80th birthday tomorrow, taken by | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
David Bailey. It is a beautiful picture, one of the most attractive | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
features of anybody's face is always there smile, and here is a beautiful | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
smile from the Queen. It has taken Her Majesty for the front page, and | :12:03. | :12:16. | |
not Kate! It shows our monarch in her prime, she looks beautiful for | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
her age, and 88! Charles must be thinking, 20 more years! She looks | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
fantastic. He would be taking the throne any time soon. No, not from | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
that picture. Thank you for your time. Stay with us on BBC News, | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
because at midnight we will have the latest on the ferry disaster in | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
South Korea, as transcripts are released of the moment he ferry | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
started to sink. Up next, The Film Review. | :12:55. | :13:01. |
