within days. ``Qatar's. And after the papers, Tom Cruise is saving the

:00:00.:00:00.

world from aliens. But how did critics find the film? Welcome to

:00:00.:00:20.

our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With

:00:21.:00:42.

me are Nigel Nelson, Political Editor of the The Sunday People, and

:00:43.:00:45.

the stand`up comedian Romesh Ranganathan. Tomorrow's paper,

:00:46.:00:51.

beginning with The Observer says the Labour leader Ed Miliband is facing

:00:52.:00:54.

a backbench revolt over his immigration policy `` his critics

:00:55.:00:57.

warn that unless he gets tougher he risks losing working class voters at

:00:58.:01:00.

next year's General Election.The Independent on Sunday features the

:01:01.:01:02.

campaign for justice for two Indian girls who were raped and murdered.

:01:03.:01:05.

The paper also reports that a study here shows that death rates in NHS

:01:06.:01:08.

hospitals significantly increase at the weekends.The Sunday Times

:01:09.:01:11.

alleges it has evidence which shows that the World Cup should not have

:01:12.:01:14.

been awarded to Qatar in 2022. While, the Sun on Sunday reports

:01:15.:01:16.

that police are investigating allegations of match`fixing ahead of

:01:17.:01:19.

the World Cup in Brazil.The Sunday Telegraph's lead is that there will

:01:20.:01:22.

be a radical reform of workplace pensions announced in this week's

:01:23.:01:29.

Queen's Speech. The christian women in Sudan, that

:01:30.:01:34.

is where we are going to begin, with Miriam Ebrahim. It is the main

:01:35.:01:38.

picture story in the Observer, saying that Sudan has lifted the

:01:39.:01:45.

death sentence. The death sentence by hanging after a flogging of 100

:01:46.:01:53.

lashes `` Taylor. That has been lifted as well? We don't know, you

:01:54.:01:57.

imagine that if 100 lashes were given, that is effectively a death

:01:58.:02:01.

sentence. I cannot find anything to say whether she is being released

:02:02.:02:05.

without any punishment at all. It is not clear. It is good news that she

:02:06.:02:12.

is not going to have a death sentence. Sudan says it was an issue

:02:13.:02:17.

of letting justice see the course through. It has to go through

:02:18.:02:22.

various appeal processes. Nothing to do with international outcry that

:02:23.:02:27.

there has been? The international outcry has changed their mind

:02:28.:02:31.

certainly! It is curious that this was announced by the Ministry of

:02:32.:02:36.

foreign affairs in Sudan. They say that Sudan warranties freedom of

:02:37.:02:39.

religion. Maybe the government does, but the courts obviously didn't. ``

:02:40.:02:46.

allows. The question for the government is what are they doing

:02:47.:02:52.

about the legal system? To make sure this does not happen again. Politics

:02:53.:02:55.

and justice seem to be at odds in that country? It is a weird thing

:02:56.:03:01.

that they say they guarantee the freedom of religion. What is going

:03:02.:03:05.

on contradicts that. What is interesting about the story is that

:03:06.:03:09.

it says that she was sentenced to death by hanging for refusing to

:03:10.:03:13.

renounce her christian beliefs. There is this situation where she

:03:14.:03:17.

was sentenced to death if she does not renounce her beliefs. To have

:03:18.:03:22.

that force of belief, that you are willing to not pronounce these

:03:23.:03:24.

beliefs and risked death, that is incredible and difficult to relate

:03:25.:03:30.

to I think. The case was that she should have been a Muslim because

:03:31.:03:34.

her father was. But she married a Christian man? There is this idea

:03:35.:03:39.

that there is a freedom of religion, but it does not seem to be right.

:03:40.:03:44.

The government has stepped in and released her because of

:03:45.:03:48.

international pressure. It shows it works. However you look at it, it is

:03:49.:03:52.

good news. But, one case. There could be many more? That is the

:03:53.:03:57.

beer, but this is what it comes down to. The international community not

:03:58.:04:07.

only turning their backs. `` that is the fear. But what happens

:04:08.:04:12.

elsewhere? To have that dialogue will help us understand where they

:04:13.:04:16.

are coming from. And prevent other women suffering the same fate. The

:04:17.:04:19.

point you make about helping us to understand what they are coming from

:04:20.:04:23.

is important `` where they are coming from. We have a similar

:04:24.:04:27.

situation in this country where there is some fear around Islam

:04:28.:04:31.

Islamic beliefs. With a story like this coming out, there is that worry

:04:32.:04:35.

that you have, that people associate the story with being about Islam,

:04:36.:04:41.

and it is actually about an interpretation of Islam. `` Islam

:04:42.:04:47.

and Islamic beliefs. People are suspicious in this country, the

:04:48.:04:50.

general public consensus is that if you look at this report about halal

:04:51.:04:55.

chicken in restaurants, the nature of those reports indicate that there

:04:56.:04:59.

is a feeling of the public being unsure of Islam. With a story like

:05:00.:05:05.

this, the danger is that people think it is representative of Islam.

:05:06.:05:09.

It is important to us to get an understanding so we get a context of

:05:10.:05:13.

these things and so going forward we have a better understanding of where

:05:14.:05:16.

these people are coming from. Let's stay with the Observer, the main

:05:17.:05:21.

story is regarding immigration. A subject on everyone's minds,

:05:22.:05:24.

particularly following the elections of late. Miliband must get tough on

:05:25.:05:29.

EU migrants, that is the demand from MPs. That has also been demanded of

:05:30.:05:33.

David Cameron. There's only so much you can do with the current state of

:05:34.:05:42.

play. The EU is all about freedom of movement? It is, but you can open a

:05:43.:05:45.

debate about it. The trouble we have seen from the European elections and

:05:46.:05:53.

UKIP success. Farage was prepared to talk about immigration and other

:05:54.:06:00.

party leaders were not. `` UKIP's success. People put that as the

:06:01.:06:07.

number one concern. Let's get the facts out there and debate, our UKIP

:06:08.:06:12.

trading on myths and hearsay? Is there something out there that we

:06:13.:06:21.

need to address? ``are. UKIP, the driving force behind the increasing

:06:22.:06:24.

popularity is the failure of the leaders of the main parties to

:06:25.:06:28.

tackle immigration as an issue. People are worried about sounding

:06:29.:06:31.

racist. That is the situation we are in. UKIP are willing to talk about

:06:32.:06:35.

it and people feel a concern that they have is being dealt with. I am

:06:36.:06:40.

really happy about that. It galvanises their support. You can

:06:41.:06:43.

understand that the main party is reluctant to talk about it because

:06:44.:06:47.

it is such a difficult situation but it has to be opened up. People feel

:06:48.:06:55.

it is not being discussed so when one person is willing to discuss it,

:06:56.:06:58.

everyone gets excited. It is felt that it is a burning issue. My

:06:59.:07:02.

concerns are not being dealt with. If you are in a situation where you

:07:03.:07:06.

have lost your job and you are told it is because of immigration and it

:07:07.:07:11.

is not dealt with, you can understand why people are

:07:12.:07:14.

frustrated. Let's move on to the Sunday Telegraph, radical pension

:07:15.:07:17.

reforms. Pensioners will be able to invest in lest risky mega form ``

:07:18.:07:24.

less risky mega funds. How will this work? As we do more research on it,

:07:25.:07:34.

broadly, the idea is that people will group together, you form a mega

:07:35.:07:41.

fund, and as a result, everyone is together and the administration

:07:42.:07:46.

costs go down. This is a system that operates in Holland. According to

:07:47.:07:51.

the calculations, if you put the same amount of money into a pension

:07:52.:07:55.

pot in Britain, and the same amount in Holland, the Dutch pensioner will

:07:56.:08:01.

get 30% more. It is a good kind of system. What David Cameron is

:08:02.:08:04.

looking for is something eye`catching for the Queen's

:08:05.:08:11.

speech. It has nothing terribly exciting in it, because he is

:08:12.:08:15.

bringing in some bills that have already been out there. This is the

:08:16.:08:20.

chance for him to start. It will distract people from the immigration

:08:21.:08:24.

issue? I don't think so. They have had a go at it by using the words

:08:25.:08:29.

"mega fund". That is obviously exciting. My mum would be excited.

:08:30.:08:34.

She is part of a lottery syndicate at work, pulling everything

:08:35.:08:37.

together, and she would be well on board with this. If you are worried

:08:38.:08:44.

about immigration, and then they will reform pensions, you will not

:08:45.:08:48.

say that you are happy now because it has been dealt with `` pooling.

:08:49.:08:52.

That is not what people are asking. Everybody wants to know if there

:08:53.:08:54.

will be enough money to keep you going? I agree, that is not... The

:08:55.:09:07.

doorstep issue is immigration. I am keen on pensioners to! I am sure you

:09:08.:09:12.

are, he is biased about his own concerns! `` too! Let's have a look

:09:13.:09:20.

at the Sunday Times, Nick Clegg finds himself on the front, but not

:09:21.:09:26.

for particularly positive reasons. He is the least popular leader in

:09:27.:09:34.

modern British political history. It is horrible, he is having a

:09:35.:09:36.

difficult time at work, and he thinks, it could be worse, but he

:09:37.:09:41.

reads this paper, and things, no, it couldn't! What is astonishing is

:09:42.:09:45.

that he is more unpopular than Gordon Brown. According to YouGov,

:09:46.:09:54.

his unpopularity rating is `65 whereas Gordon Brown's was 62. ``

:09:55.:10:04.

`62. He is only slightly less unpopular than Miklik. Is he going

:10:05.:10:08.

to survive it? There are rumblings that he has to step down `` Nick

:10:09.:10:14.

Clegg. He has to get it sorted out before the general election. He is

:10:15.:10:19.

not out of the woods yet. I don't think Vince Cable was plotting

:10:20.:10:24.

against him. He has to face this party conference in the autumn.

:10:25.:10:29.

Under Liberal Democrat rules, it is the local parties who can decide to

:10:30.:10:32.

unseat him. There will be moved to do that. My guess is he will decide

:10:33.:10:38.

it, but he could move into a tricky summer. The Sunday Telegraph, what

:10:39.:10:43.

should you do about how do you do? The form of greeting that is social

:10:44.:10:49.

and trough Pol `` social anthropologist says we should be

:10:50.:10:54.

bringing back into use. We have said that it was first used in 1600, and

:10:55.:10:59.

was an enquiry about people 's health. We have been able to

:11:00.:11:09.

discover the etiquette. I would turn to you, and so, how do you do Lady

:11:10.:11:14.

Windermere? How do you do Lord Darlington? That is how Oscar Wilde

:11:15.:11:19.

did it. I am glad that someone has said that, on social media, they

:11:20.:11:24.

said, do do do the funky Gibbon! I will not, if you don't mind! How do

:11:25.:11:31.

you do implies that you care about how the other person is doing. When

:11:32.:11:37.

you are really not that bothered. If you are terribly British, and

:11:38.:11:41.

someone asks how you are, you would say that you are fine. The truth is

:11:42.:11:45.

rarely ask it, you don't really care! If someone says, actually,

:11:46.:11:50.

they are having a complete nightmare... The point that the

:11:51.:11:54.

anthropologist was talking about is that greetings have become more

:11:55.:11:57.

complicated. When you go out to someone to kiss them on one cheek,

:11:58.:12:01.

or do you do it on both cheeks? Do you shake hands or not? We may have

:12:02.:12:08.

over complicated it. Perhaps, is simple hello is the answer. If you

:12:09.:12:12.

are Dutch, it is three kisses and never ends! Kiss inflation is a

:12:13.:12:17.

problem! I would go for four sometimes! If I am feeling Lucky! A

:12:18.:12:22.

clash of glasses can also be an issue. Lady Windermere, Lord

:12:23.:12:30.

Darlington, it has been good having you both here. Thank you for joining

:12:31.:12:38.

us. Stay with us, at midnight, we will have more on that accident on

:12:39.:12:42.

the Scottish Borders where three people died after two crashes during

:12:43.:12:44.

the Jim Clark Rally.
