organisers. And the rest of the day's sports news, including a host | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of managers on the move, in 15 minutes after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
us tomorrow. With me are the barrister Sophia Cannon and Torcuil | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Crichton, Westminster editor at The Daily Record. Tomorrow's front pages | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
look like this. The Telegraph says senior figures in the health service | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
are claiming thousands in expense claims for fine dining, taxi fares | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
and hotels. And there's an image taken from the video released by | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
militants of the kidnapped girls in Nigeria. The Express says a brisk | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
20`minute stroll a few times a week is all that's needed to tackle high | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
blood pressure. And it covers the comments of Richard Madeley and Judy | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Finnigan, who say they've agreed to an assisted death pact if one of | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
them falls seriously ill. The Metro covers the story of a blogger who | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
found the police on his doorstep after he mocked UKIP on Twitter. The | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Guardian says the Conservative Party has recorded its first poll lead in | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
two years as Labour's support apparently drains away. And it also | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
carries an image of those missing girls in Nigeria. The Mail says the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
NHS is pushing for mothers who are having a second child to give birth | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
at home. And Rolf Harris is pictured outside court at his trial. We start | :01:28. | :01:39. | |
with the Guardian. Nigerian roubles parade liberated girls in propaganda | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
video. `` roubles. Some measure of solace for the families of some of | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
these girls, because at least they can see that they may be alive? | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
Indeed. We don't know when this was taken. I know some of the players | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
were showing the pixelated version of the video and do not show their | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
faces because of that. But this shows the Battle of social media | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
being played out here with a terrorist backdrop. 28 days of | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
terror for these girls is juxtaposed against the criticism of the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Nigerian government. The first criticism of the Nigerian government | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
was that they had not bought Vista media attention, not that they had | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
not located the girls. # bring back our girls has helped galvanise | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
global opinion on this. And now, of course, the dilemma for the Nigerian | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
authorities is, should they listen Boko Haram, who are saying they | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
would be willing to release some of these girls in exchange for their | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
and prisoners? Well, these images, chilling as they are, are far more | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
powerful than any social media campaign. It is playing to your | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
deepest emotions with these girls being held hostage in the Bush by | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
armed men who see their lives as valuable. These were the lucky | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
girls, the girls in schools who were getting an education in Nigeria. And | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
because of religion or because of the school they went to, they were | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
snatched away a month ago and this is our first sight of them. Chilling | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
is the only word you can use to describe it, and a chilling message | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
as well from the leader of Boko Haram, who is using them as a | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
bargaining tool. He says, you talking about these girls, we will | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
never release them until you release our brothers who are being held by | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
the Nigerian government. So the game has moved on. They have become | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
bargaining chips now. And there is gender`based violence in this part | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
of northern Nigeria. Women have been pawns in the war going on there for | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
a good number of years. Torcuil, the Guardian. Tories on top as Labour | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
poll rating sinks to a four year low. What is going on? It is a bad | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
day to be Ed Miliband, because for the first time in two years, ICM for | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
the Guardian has the Conservatives ahead and Labour down to 31 points. | :04:14. | :04:30. | |
And UKIP are picking up four points. This is not the only poll that has | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Labour behind today. There was an Ashcroft poll, and Lord Ashcroft is | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
a Tory supporter who finances his own bowling. He had the Tories two | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
points ahead. There is a Sun poll tonight which we have not seen, but | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
I think it has Labour one point ahead. They are scrabbling in the | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
low 30s. It does not look as if either dead or Dave `` aid or Dave | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
are cutting through with the numbers they need. The big western, of | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
course, is, if the Tories can squeeze UKIP, they will get a | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
majority. But Labour needs to squeeze the Lib Dems, and it is not | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
happening. In which case, are we looking at a hung parliament again? | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
I hope not. The most disturbing thing we have had with coalition | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
politics is seeing Nick and Dave in that garden, professing love for | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
each other and knowing that we were going to be here for a fixed hung | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
parliament. Look at the economy. It is doing well, according to a lot of | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
people. Clive, the Labour Party has to look at itself and say, did we | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
get the wrong brother here? Should it have been the battle of Dave and | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
Dave? But how can the personality that is Ed Miliband lose this? The | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
bad news for Ed Miliband is deep in the polling. It shows that yes, on | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
leadership qualities, he is not cutting through. But staggeringly, | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
for the Guardian poll, George Osborne, author of the omnishambles | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
budget a few years ago, now has positive or better economic ratings. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
So on the economy, the Tories are coming through. Their message is | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
that they repaired the economy, versus Ed's ideas. He has had more | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
ideas today on the NHS. He promised energy price freezes, rent freezes. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
He says he is winning the battle of ideas. Is that enough? Ideas are all | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
very well, but if you can look at the bottom line, which is inflation | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
going down and interest rates staying low, the property market | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
doing well, the Conservatives would point that as for them. The problem | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Labour has got at the moment is that they are looking at resentment | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
politics. They are hoping that we will find something to hate. | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
Everybody's house prices are rising, especially in the south. The | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
issue is, do we want to go back to how it used to be, or can we trust | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
the Tories? I don't think people trust David Cameron either. OK, he | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
might have fixed the economy, but will he look after my interests for | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
the next five years? That is the question Labour will be asking. Do | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
you feel better off? Is he looking out for you? That is why they are | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
painting the Tories as the party of the rich, the party who look after | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
the elite, as opposed to Labour, who look after the NHS. Talking of the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
NHS, the Daily Telegraph has the scandal of NHS chief Hamas delete `` | :07:47. | :07:59. | |
NHS chiefs' expenses. They were supposed to be the Chiefs in charge | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
of winging down waste and shortages in the NHS. The highest individual | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
bill was for Tom Kelsey, the national director for patients and | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
information, who spent ?46,000 during the year, including more than | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
?21,000 on hotels. This is when we have got people scrapping in the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
streets for cancer drugs. Lots of juicy details in this story. They | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
will outrage people. A taxi fare from London to Preston, ?500. I | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
think this is an inside job. We have got many facts here which are | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
particularised so that we can get these receipts. For example, ?260 | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
journeys between London and Leeds on trains. But as the standard fare if | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
you jump on a train that day. But these are NHS officials, not agents | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
of shield. They don't have to jump on the next train to get somewhere. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Surely they can plan and budget ahead. But an amazing amount of | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
money is being spent. At the new NHS chief says there will be a ban on | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
first`class trains. And he has taken a ?20,000 voluntary pay cut. His | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
mantra to his staff ` think like a patient and act like a taxpayer. | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
That sounds fair enough. It is not a mantra they use when claiming | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
expenses in Westminster. Indeed. Let's go to the metro, Torcuil. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Officers ask a blogger to remove a UKIP jibe. This is the funny story | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
of a Green Party activist supporter, who was tweeting away to | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
130 followers on Saturday, blogging about UKIP misses. He examined ten | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
UKIP policies and raised questions about them. A UKIP councillor | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
complained to the police. On Saturday night, knock on the door. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
The police came and said... That is bizarre. They did not say to take | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
them down, they just asked if he had put them up. He said yes. They have | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
been retweeted since, and his followers have gone up to 1400. So | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
he is now a Twitter sensation, which is probably worse news for UKIP than | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
if they had not complained at all. It was not illegal, but the police | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
had to follow up the complaint? They have to follow up a crime. But it | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
wasn't a crime, he didn't do anything? Again, we are not sure | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
election rules have been broken but things have to be investigated. If | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
they don't, that's the worst thing, if it's seen that certain parties | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
can pick up the phone and then someone knocks on the door... The | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
small end of a big wedge would have started with cash for peerages, | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
remember ?1 million being spent on a police investigation to see whether | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Tony Blair had been selling peerages. It's parties and | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
politicians using the police as a proxy to attack their opponents. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Police can caught between a rock and a hard place, dismissing it as a | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
nuisance complaint and they get hung, they go and knock on | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
somebody's door. What is the election law that may have been | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
contravened then? Is it clear what that is? I'm not sure. Didn't say | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
he'd broken any law. They may as well just turn up and say hello. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
Broadcasters do certain things at certain times, but this is the | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
equalisation of broadcasting that people can say what they wantny now | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
in their own format and in this forum and it's the police now who're | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
having to police and they don't know the law and neither do we. It's a | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
tricky one, definitely. Thank you both, see you in an hours' time. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Many thanks. Stay with us here on BBC News, because at the top of the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
hours ago we'll have much more on that new video showing some of the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
hundreds of schoolgirls abducted in Nigeria. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Coming up, it's time for Sportsday. | :12:26. | :12:32. |
