15/05/2014 The Papers

in the league one play`off final. That is all in 15 minutes.

Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us

tomorrow. With me, the pensions analyst and evening standard writer,

Mihir Bose. We will start with the Independent, which says the

Conservatives are exploiting a loophole which lets backers make

anonymous donations to the party using a Private Members' Bill. The

express is leading on the safety of statins. The Telegraph says that one

in five Britons with the University degree goes on to become a

millionaire. Tesco is offering HIV tests with your groceries according

to the front page of the metro. The Guardian has a report from Chibok,

the Nigerian town where 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped by

Islamist militants. The Times claims that research

casting doubt on the rate of global warming was deliberately suppressed.

And the male has a warning that overuse of the internet may be

harmful for a child's mental health. Starting with a story that has

dominated the headlines, the situation in Turkey. The front page

of the Independent. A nation in torment, with the death. Mounting

and anger rising. `` death toll mounting. There has been a union

strike today and many people on the street protesting how the government

has handed this. The nation feels that it has not been properly

handled. Your heart goes out to them, those that know they have lost

loved ones and those who do not know what has happened. The hope is gone

but they feel the authorities did not get on top of it. They really

could have done more. And it is a national disaster. They have so many

problems going on, problems with Syria, and the Middle East itself is

in turmoil. This kind of accident, I think they would have hoped that the

government would have taken charge. It seems like they have been

disappointed. And Mihir Bose, there have been these photographs of an

aide to the Prime Minister kicking a protester. And it just goes to show

that people still work in very difficult surroundings all over the

world, but this is the first time when a disaster like this Ros

Altmann has been accompanied by an immediate political backlash against

the ruling party. And really, this shows the distance between the Prime

Minister, or his ruling group, and the Turks at a certain level. I know

he has won elections, but there is a great amount of disquiet clearly in

the Turkish nation. And this might really affect his political future.

And this is interesting. I spoke to analyst this evening who said that

he survived the protests last year, and he is surviving a bad bribery

scandal that has involved a lot of MPs. Which has led to resignations.

He tried to shut down Twitter and Facebook and yet he still seems to

be Teflon. Do not know, this seems like a serious test. You never know

where these things come from and it has come from this terrible

tragedy. `` I do not know. Usually when a nation faces on politeness

they pull together and that is not happening this time which is a

serious indictment. And it suggests that Turkey is not as advanced a

country as you would expect. It is sort of a handling of the situation

`` the handling of the situation shows a lack of maturity and

confidence by the authorities. And perhaps, according to the trade

unions, the state of safety in the mining sector. Staying with the

Independent, Tory funding. They use a secret club as a front for

donations. The Burlington club?! I am intrigued by the name. It is

called the United and Cecil club. I'm not sure if Manchester United

have any involvement! Alex Ferguson is not a Tory, it has to be said!

The main thrust of the story is that the donations that you can give

through a private club do not have to be disclosed. Otherwise, a

donation of a certain level has to be disclosed. So no rules have been

broken? This is a question of funding political parties. Why do

not think we have got this sorted out properly. The feeling is that we

do not have a level playing field. I know the Conservatives will say that

Labour is funded by the unions but at least that is transparent, if you

like. We know that the unions founded the Labour Party, so that is

the style. But this suggests that things are going on but are not

publicly disclosed. And at the end of the day, the taxpayers do not

want to fund political parties, which is the alternative. A national

levy. We are getting to a situation where you require more money to

fight elections. We had not reached the American level, but there is

nevertheless a lot of money. And as the election broadcasts increase, we

need more funding to make sure that you have a proper case to make to

the people. The daily Telegraph, talking about election debates and

campaigning. Interesting. An online election debates being suggested. It

is interesting, it is in collaboration with YouTube. The

Guardian, the Telegraph and YouTube joining together to produce an

online election debate to rival some of the TV debates. The idea is to

get younger people involved, who may not watch telly but they are engaged

online. And also to encourage people to be able to interact in a way that

you cannot do so much on the television debates. I do not know

how it will work, and it is not actually a done deal, and they are

still negotiating... This could be the new step. Just as the election

debates were the big first step, at the last election, also the papers

see an advantage in this. You are pushing them into the internet,

getting young people in. My daughter certainly does not watch television

the way that I did. But the fact is, because they are not on the main

broadcasters, there is no Ofcom regulation and the BBC Trust would

not be able to dip its toe into what is going on. A female presenter.

There is a lot less control. Exactly. Candidates would feel that

they could shout their mouth off. And that could work both ways. It

may not be quite as transparent as you might expect, or as

user`friendly. On the BBC, if it was on their website there would be more

control. But it is one thing when it is the mainstream parties, but when

you get some of the minority parties... The Greens, UKIP. Who

knows? And have been told that there has to be a female presenter, moving

away from the middle`class white presenters that one has. You can get

a female presenter on the telly, you do not have to go online to get

that! That is my point. It should be happening anyway. That is the

argument that they make to get them going. Top of the Telegraph, it is

official, how to make a million. Office of National Statistics

figures show that one in five with a university degree goes on to amass a

seven figure fortune. Are you a no union with your degree? It depends

if you include my house, which is in my wife's name! There is misleading

elements to this. If you include your home, and I'll live in London,

where house prices have gone up dramatically... We are all

millionaires. Only one in five. What about the rest of our scheme and is

your principal place of abode included? Yes. And you have to live

somewhere. Even if you sell, you have to move somewhere. What is more

interesting is what it shows. The total wealth in private hands in the

UK now stands at ?9.5 trillion. In the two years since 2010 and 2012.

And it shows that the recession, its impact is not as deep in some areas

as... But if you were loaded, there was not a recession anyway. That is

one of the problems. Quantitative easing has been a fantastic policy

for the well`off. It has revisited wealth from the middle groups to the

top. `` redistribution. And the other statistic is that private

pension wealth has apparently increased from ?2.9 trillion to ?3.6

trillion. But for property, ?3.5 trillion. And they are all your

clients! You have a degree, are you a millionaire? If you can sure

house, then yes, I am in. Am I the only millionaire here? I work for

the BBC, and must be loaded, that is what everyone thinks. I have two

degrees in diameter rear of the year.

Let's go on to the express. This story has been in the news today big

time. Statins are officially safe, after a British Medical Journal

suggested that perhaps there were problems with them. And statins,

this story has been around for much of the day but the feeling has been

that you go to the GP and you have high cholesterol and you are put on

statins. I have been on statins. It is like taking an aspirin or a

headache pill. Side effects? I have not had any. But the point is that

this is the interesting thing. If you get research like this, it

raises questions. Remember the skier with MMR. That affected people. It

raises the question, should there not be more care when issuing papers

of this kind? But this is the British Medical Journal. This is not

a cartoon magazine. What they said in the original article was that if

you take statins, you have a higher risk of diabetes, muscle pain,

tiredness. And they are worried that this may have put off some people

from taking statins. I must admit that in my experience, if you take

statins, and the one that you take does not agree with you, it is quite

common to have some muscle pain. You can change to a different one, which

will agree with you. It is a question of finding the right one.

The answer is not giving up on statins because it is important to

control cholesterol, but use one that suits you. The doctors should

also look at whether they should automatically prescribe it. That was

one of the stories going around, that everyone over 50 should

automatically have them. But NICE wants to lower the threshold. Let's

go onto the Metro. HIV tests. Shoppers are offered a one checkup.

You get your carrots and that is it. A saliva swab and that is it. The

prisoner was interesting. Don't be afraid to get tested. Because a lot

of people are afraid to even go and ask the question. And because it

does not affect just you, it affects your partners and people you come in

contact with, it is quite important socially for people to take

responsibility, to have themselves tested. And if it is easy like

this, I guess they are more likely to do that than if you have got to

make an appointment and it feels grubby and difficult. If you work

popping in while you are getting your carrots and potatoes, then it

is easier. And this begs the question, we were under the

impression that HIV has been tackled, if you like, given the

fears that were there, legitimate fears. And it seems as if since

2012, 100,000 people in Britain were estimated to be carriers of HIV. The

risk is that if that 100,000, which is not a huge number of the

publishing... But if they do not know, then it spreads again and we

have a problem like in the 1980s. You will be back in an hour for

another look at the stories. Many thanks.

Stay with us because at the top of the hour, we will have much more

from Turkey where there have been protests following the country's

worst ever mining disaster. But now, time for Sportsday.

Welcome to Sportsday. Here are the headlines: Rotherham are off to

Wembley for the league one play`off final. The world number one awaits

Andy Murray. He sets up an Italian
