and there are playable places up for grabs in rugby, we will have the

:00:00.:00:07.

results, that is in Sportsday `` play`off places. `` tells us that he

:00:08.:00:23.

thinks. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:24.:00:26.

will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the broadcaster Alice Arnold

:00:27.:00:29.

and Alison Phillips, weekend editor at The Mirror. Let's have a look at

:00:30.:00:33.

tomorrow's front pages now. The Independent has more on Pfizer's

:00:34.:00:35.

rejected bid for British drugs company Astrazeneca` it claims a

:00:36.:00:38.

former top scientist for Pfizer has warned against the takeover. The

:00:39.:00:41.

Mail has an interview with one of Max Clifford's victims who says

:00:42.:00:44.

she's angry at the celebrities who defended him. The Express says

:00:45.:00:47.

exercise, even a gentle walk, can help beat arthritis. The FT says the

:00:48.:00:55.

Treasury is set to benefit to the tune of 4.5 billion pounds thanks to

:00:56.:00:58.

the new Help to Buy scheme. The Telegraph has a photo of Stephen

:00:59.:01:01.

Sutton, the teenager who has raised more than three million pounds for

:01:02.:01:04.

charity while fighting cancer. He's been discharged from hospital,

:01:05.:01:06.

describing his own recovery as 'quite remarkable' The Mirror says

:01:07.:01:09.

Lord Hanningfield, the peer whose expenses scam the paper exposed,

:01:10.:01:12.

said he needed the money so he could pay someone to look after his

:01:13.:01:15.

chickens while he was in Westminster. The Guardian leads on

:01:16.:01:22.

the sentencing of celebrity publicist Max Clifford. The paper

:01:23.:01:24.

says his contemptuous attitude during the trial added to the length

:01:25.:01:36.

of his sentence. We will stay with that story for the beginning of the

:01:37.:01:39.

review, we will look at how the Guardian is covering it, eight years

:01:40.:01:43.

in prison for his crimes and his contempt for women. We can tell from

:01:44.:01:51.

the picture that those eyes are his. He showed some extraordinary

:01:52.:01:55.

behaviour in that trial. He seemed to parade himself in front of the

:01:56.:02:00.

cameras. What he did was horrific, there are four women who, for the

:02:01.:02:05.

rest of their lives, will have had to deal with the consequences of how

:02:06.:02:10.

he treated them. What has worsened his sentence is the fact that he

:02:11.:02:14.

wound up the judge, there was the issue that he refers to when he was

:02:15.:02:20.

mimicking the Sky News reporter, which has angered the judge. Even in

:02:21.:02:24.

the dot`com he was raising his eyebrows, shaking his head. You

:02:25.:02:33.

mentioned that clip will stop `` dock. Here is a clip of the

:02:34.:02:41.

behaviour, this is what the judge had seen. It is not becoming of the

:02:42.:02:47.

seriousness of the case. It is as if he could not quite understand

:02:48.:02:50.

himself. The enormity of what he had done. He has remained convinced to

:02:51.:02:57.

the end that he was innocent. It is like he could not quite grasp that

:02:58.:03:02.

what he had done was illegal. I don't understand it, do you think

:03:03.:03:07.

you understand that tonight? He has for years in prison and four years

:03:08.:03:12.

on licence if he gets parole. There are rumours that other people have

:03:13.:03:17.

come forward during the trial, for prosecutions, when his sentence

:03:18.:03:24.

could be increased. You are right, it is his attitude, that has angered

:03:25.:03:30.

everyone I think. That is what the judge said. He thought he was

:03:31.:03:35.

untouchable. It is that arrogance. That is what is so heartening, he

:03:36.:03:43.

has been found guilty, those brave women who have come forward to tell

:03:44.:03:47.

those stories and go through that procedure, it is pretty awful for

:03:48.:03:51.

them, they have at least been rewarded. The irony of a lot of this

:03:52.:03:55.

is that the first reason he came to the police, is after the Jimmy

:03:56.:03:58.

Savile business, he went on the television and said it was a

:03:59.:04:01.

witch`hunt, all these girls are making it up. It was a woman who saw

:04:02.:04:06.

that who said that was it, she had had enough and it was that. His own

:04:07.:04:15.

PR machine has been his downfall. He is pictured in the sun, smoking

:04:16.:04:22.

until the end. That is the headline. The judge at his sentence for being

:04:23.:04:30.

flippant. `` smirking. A woman in court, the judge said that he would

:04:31.:04:34.

have been found guilty for the crime he committed against her in Spain,

:04:35.:04:38.

but it was committed before the law changed, so that crimes committed

:04:39.:04:42.

abroad could be included in the case, but for her to have travelled

:04:43.:04:47.

here, the judge said that he would have been found guilty, even though

:04:48.:04:51.

he was not tried. The alleged victim was very young as well. It is this

:04:52.:04:57.

posing for cameras. Most people when they are about to be sentence, they

:04:58.:05:02.

do not pose for the cameras. They keep their heads down. I saw the

:05:03.:05:06.

footage of him walking to the court. It is like he did not quite believe

:05:07.:05:11.

that it was real. He had manufactured so many stories over

:05:12.:05:15.

the years, and been behind so many stories over the years. It is like

:05:16.:05:19.

it was another story playing out rather than a horrible reality.

:05:20.:05:25.

Let's move on to the Mirror, Lord fraud, I did it for my chickens ``

:05:26.:05:33.

Fraud. Lord Hanning Field said that he took his daily allowance from the

:05:34.:05:36.

House of Lords without doing a great deal of work for it. So that he

:05:37.:05:41.

could hire a man to look after his paltry. `` Hanningfield. We have

:05:42.:05:53.

been an investigation at the Daily Mirror. He had been to prison once

:05:54.:06:00.

before for his expenses, but he had been allowed to walk back in, given

:06:01.:06:06.

?300 as an allowance. We saw that he was regularly turning up, going in

:06:07.:06:10.

for 45 minutes, one day it was only 21 minutes. A couple of days for

:06:11.:06:16.

about one hour. You had a reporter keeping an eye? Yes, watching him as

:06:17.:06:20.

he went into to the House of Lords, we watched him every day, had him

:06:21.:06:25.

time not, we knew, it was not just randomly, we knew that there were a

:06:26.:06:30.

handful of people doing it. When he was confronted, he said that there

:06:31.:06:34.

were 50 people doing it. He has not given us any names. But this is

:06:35.:06:38.

public money. We are within our rights to know who is going to work

:06:39.:06:45.

and who isn't. He is then investigated internally by the House

:06:46.:06:48.

of Lords, they have said to him, what are you playing at? He said

:06:49.:06:53.

that he needed the money needed ?300 a day to pay someone to look after

:06:54.:06:56.

my chickens as I was working in Westminster. Was it lunchtime, when

:06:57.:07:01.

he was going in and out? It varied, kind of mid`morning. What are they

:07:02.:07:11.

going to do about this? They have said they are going to do something.

:07:12.:07:16.

The rules on expenses will be tightened, they have said. I have

:07:17.:07:20.

heard that before, and people get away with far more than they would

:07:21.:07:24.

in any other... Maybe they need a clocking in card? Maybe a half day

:07:25.:07:29.

or a full day allowance. That is a clever idea. Up to four hours, you

:07:30.:07:36.

get ?150, but if you spend more... You get the full amount. Like normal

:07:37.:07:40.

jobs, where people are paid for the work that they do. Let's have a look

:07:41.:07:44.

at the Guardian. There is this story about the death rates for children

:07:45.:07:50.

under five. Children in the UK are more likely to die before they reach

:07:51.:08:00.

their fifth birthday, then any other country in the Western world, aside

:08:01.:08:06.

from Malta. That came as a surprise to researchers in Seattle, looking

:08:07.:08:09.

at the figures. It is a worrying report, of all the countries in

:08:10.:08:15.

Europe, there we are, second worst after Malta. The reasons that are

:08:16.:08:20.

being given by the researchers is an economic problem, and it is children

:08:21.:08:26.

from poor families who are born, low birth rates, parents may be smoking,

:08:27.:08:34.

that, coupled with some failures in early years healthcare, particularly

:08:35.:08:38.

possibly around midwifery, that is worth looking at. When the service

:08:39.:08:42.

come out, we are often surprised at how low we come. And we have the

:08:43.:08:50.

NHS, and we are proud of it, and we are an advanced nation. Then we find

:08:51.:08:55.

out that the statistics do not really bear that out. Maybe it is a

:08:56.:08:59.

good thing. It makes people had to think a bit, and say, we cannot

:09:00.:09:05.

continue to be so low down in the health figures. But, we are. Every

:09:06.:09:09.

statistic that comes out seems to bear the same thing. We are not as

:09:10.:09:13.

good as we think. If it is to do with smoking and low birth rates,

:09:14.:09:20.

and a newborn baby, parents have to take responsibility. We need more

:09:21.:09:25.

education. Parents have to take responsibility, but you have to work

:09:26.:09:29.

in the context, why are there still parents smoking during pregnancy?

:09:30.:09:32.

That message has been put up the years. If the messages put out,

:09:33.:09:36.

people know it, but you had to listen as to why they are not doing

:09:37.:09:42.

things about it. Deprivation is also listed as a reason. You can be told

:09:43.:09:46.

things repeatedly, but unless you believe it and would implement it,

:09:47.:09:51.

it is pointless. Let's have a look at the times. Page 11, we do not

:09:52.:09:55.

always delve so deeply into the paper, this is looking at the

:09:56.:10:01.

predicament, Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Fein, you find

:10:02.:10:05.

himself then, with police given permission to question him for a

:10:06.:10:08.

further 48 hours. He presented himself at the police station in

:10:09.:10:11.

Antrim voluntarily. That was on Wednesday. Looking at how difficult

:10:12.:10:19.

his position is and the problems he is creating for the Sinn Fein party,

:10:20.:10:26.

and for his family, what some of his family members have been doing as of

:10:27.:10:30.

late. It is a piece asking whether he is suitable to be leading Sinn

:10:31.:10:33.

Fein or whether we need a new generation of leaders, without the

:10:34.:10:37.

baggage that he has. You know, regardless of this claim about the

:10:38.:10:45.

murder. He strongly denies this. But he carries with him baggage that in

:10:46.:10:50.

the sense that his brother was sentenced for 16 years, for raping

:10:51.:10:53.

and abusing his own daughter. That is the brothers daughter. The

:10:54.:11:00.

daughter waived her right to anonymity. Gerry Adams... He says

:11:01.:11:06.

that he did not have any association with his brother. He always believed

:11:07.:11:10.

the victim. What did he do about that? Was he strong and went forward

:11:11.:11:14.

against his brother? It appears not. If he is still associated with his

:11:15.:11:19.

brother then he is not a suitable person to be leading the party. The

:11:20.:11:23.

whole thing brings together that maybe now, they cite some good

:11:24.:11:27.

candidates who could lead the party into the future in a more positive

:11:28.:11:31.

way. And baggage in all sorts of ways could be let go. He remains a

:11:32.:11:37.

charismatic figure in Northern Ireland. There are new murals

:11:38.:11:44.

painted in the last couple of days in support of him. Support outside

:11:45.:11:50.

police headquarters, people parading for him. It is a difficult time I

:11:51.:11:54.

think for him there. Martin McGuinness has come out, saying that

:11:55.:11:59.

he is an estate controlled anger over the arrest. It affect whether

:12:00.:12:04.

they continue to support the police service in Northern Ireland. We have

:12:05.:12:10.

other people from other parties, coming out saying that Martin

:12:11.:12:14.

McGuinness cannot say this. It is all very tense again. I would

:12:15.:12:18.

mention who it is, but someone on social media got in touch with me

:12:19.:12:21.

saying that we can all feel the tension. It is palpable in the

:12:22.:12:25.

atmosphere. It is heating up. They are very worried about the potential

:12:26.:12:29.

fallout of this. Depending on what happens next, if they charge him,

:12:30.:12:33.

where on earth does that take us all? That was the Good Friday

:12:34.:12:40.

agreement, semi` people have been released for things that happened in

:12:41.:12:44.

the 1970s, and someone new could be charged potentially. Twitter loses

:12:45.:12:54.

500 million as the trend for tweaking slows `` tweeting. How does

:12:55.:13:09.

this work? Are you still doing it? You know I am not. I think there was

:13:10.:13:19.

an initial excitement. I have been on there for years but it says that

:13:20.:13:22.

we are reducing the time we spend on their by 10%. Many people are still

:13:23.:13:36.

using it. More people still prefer Facebook it is a very ``, it is a

:13:37.:13:47.

very London media kind of thing. That is all for tonight. We will

:13:48.:13:56.

have more on Max Clifford at midnight as he is jailed for

:13:57.:13:59.

indecent assault on women and young
