Welcome to our lookahead at the papers. Let us take a look at the | :00:17. | :00:28. | |
front pages. The Daily Mail says police will seize the mobile phones | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
of every driver in a car crash. Almost half the population... | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
The Financial Times marks the economy returning to the size it was | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
before the financial crisis. The Guardian reports on expensive | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
housing developments segregating less wealthy neighbours. | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
The Times says the US is urgently investigating reports that Islamist | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
militants in Iraq have gotten I hold of surface`to`air vessels that can | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
bring down a commercial jet. The Scotsman pictures Daniel Wallace | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
with Scotland's seventh Commonwealth Games cold metal. `` gold medal. | :01:15. | :01:28. | |
And the mother of three might be to make `` a three`year`old who killed | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
her son. New missile threat raises fears for | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
airline passengers. It has only been a week since the Malaysian airlines | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
plane came down over the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. Now the | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
US says it is looking into Islamist militants in Iraq who have managed | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
to obtain a surface`to`air missile. Extraordinary. Planes still fly over | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
areas where there is conflict. That is why this is a strong and striking | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
story. Of your paper. I should express an interest here. It says a | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
popular route passes over a key stronghold in the self declared | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
Islamic caliphate. It quotes a Lieutenant`Colonel, a former SS `` | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
SAS member. He makes an important point that civilian jets should not | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
fly over active war zones that could use high altitude air defence | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
systems. This is an issue of very serious concern. We are seeing the | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
level of civilian aircraft and harrowing images. This is something | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
that people will be deeply concerned about. One would expect air`traffic | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
control taking into account these concerns to change the roots of | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
aircraft so they did not go over these areas. It is about whether... | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
The United States is investigating whether they obtained the missiles. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
There is no evidence they have. Intelligence sources are very | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
concerned. I am sure they are concerned about a lot of things. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
They are investigating. It says the Pentagon has ordered American | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
special forces to confirm whether or not they possess these weapons. I am | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
not sure whether I am full of hope about what they will find. There is | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
a difference with Ukraine. The separatists had already shot down | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
planes. They had already shot down military planes. There is no | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
evidence that this will happen. I am not sure `` saying that they should | :03:48. | :03:59. | |
not take cautions. There will be extra fuel costs, and that is the | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
risk that airlines will need to make. Those are the airlines that | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
directed their planes away from the Ukraine and took the hit of the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
extra costs. I am not saying it is not happening, but this is an | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
example of the newspaper moving the story along. Qualified credit. I | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
take that while it is on offer. Moving on to the express. Ed | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Miliband, the only film style I'd like is Wallace, says Ed Miliband. | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
How much is a gamble is this? Saying, I am just an ordinary man? | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
That is probably a conscious uncoupling from the Tony Blair | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
years, where it is all sparkle. Ed Miliband is complaining about Ed `` | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
politicians talking about image. It is if few late for him to try and | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
convince the people that he is focusing on the material. But we | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
have got the election campaign, and this may turn people. People do not | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
like the idea that there political leaders are sleek. David Cameron has | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
spent too much time courting the media, commenting on things that he | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
should not. For me, the media of this is when Tony Blair was | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
commenting on the trail of a character who does not exist except | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
in Coronation Street. How much do you pander to what the papers tell | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
you you are interested in. I do not think Ed Miliband's image problem | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
has got much to do with people not thinking he has ideas of substance. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
I agree with about half of that. Maybe 55%. The real problem is when | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
a politician is having to explain to the public why they are not terribly | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
keen on them. Ed Miliband is somebody we are not keen on the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
moment. If you were to focus on substance, we would like more. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Ronald Reagan says when politicians have to make those kind explanations | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
about their image, they are losing. I think this is a risk for Ed | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Miliband. I think Tony is right. It goes into the clear division at the | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
moment between David Cameron and Ed Miliband. What does he need to do? | :06:38. | :06:59. | |
He should start working on policy. If he wants to be seen as a policy | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
person, he should talk about policy. One thing that is really important | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
in politics is that voters are not stupid. I'm not saying Labour's | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
policies are stupid, just that you have to convince people that your | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
policies, no party and your leader are already fit for government. But | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
in the television age, the way you express policies and the way people | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
think about how you do that, the body language that you bring to | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
bear, all of that fits into an image that is going to generate a certain | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
reaction from the public and drive votes. Police will seize mobile | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
phones in every car crash in a crackdown on texting at the wheel. | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
It seems common sense. Is does. To my mind, it is a sensible policy. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Based on anecdotal evidence that I have seen, driving around the | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
streets of London, when people bump into you, it's often when they are | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
distracted by their phone. But looking at the evidence, there is | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
robust evidence coming out of America, that when California banned | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
the use of mobile phones in cars, it did not have a significant effect on | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
the number of accidents even when you look at traffic news and so on. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
There are other surveys that present a slightly different picture. It | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
seems that the evidence is ambiguous. There is concern among | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
the police that they are seeing a rise in this. 40 years ago, you | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
would be surprised if you had crashed your car and the police | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
officer asked if you had been wearing your seatbelt or had been | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
drinking. Today, none of us would be surprised. Whether they have to | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
seize your phone... It might be in the records anyway. It might act as | :09:00. | :09:11. | |
a deterrent. The Guardian. Poor doors. The segregation of inner`city | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
flatulence. Poorer residents are being forced to use different | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
entrances in the same building. `` the segregation of inner`city flat | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
dwellers. I do see the point that people living in the same building | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
should use the same entrance. I take the point about community cohesion, | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
that we all live in the same society. That was only 55 minutes | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
that took! I'm material. I have been thinking about it. Now you can take | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
the we are all the same line. When developers are putting prime | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
developments in London, they often create social housing in a different | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
part of London. It is not just a different door to the development, | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
it is the social housing in a different part of the geography. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
This apartheid has been going on for some time. The whole rationale for | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
having social housing among prime real estate is for social cohesion, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
though people to mingle, for social barriers to break down and to create | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
mutual understanding. Even though developers essentially say that if | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
you share the common parts, the service charge for the socialising | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
will be higher, and they would say that, wouldn't they? It does hit at | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
the basic rationale of the policy. In London, the poorer rich have | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
always mixed cheek by jowl. Is a very stark bit of segregation, isn't | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
it? It is much to do with the way it is being reported. You have got half | :10:58. | :11:07. | |
in the `` you have got tough in the last hour. Esther McVey fears ending | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
up on welfare. We will probably see quite a bit of her in the run`up to | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
the election. She says she fears that she could fall on hard times | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
and end up living on benefits and she is calling for more tolerance | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
towards people who do claim benefits. This is quite a change in | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
the sort of... The Conservative approach to benefits claims. Iain | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
Duncan Smith, who has been making most of the running on this since | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
the election, has had a very different tone. There is often a | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
sense of vilification of people on benefits, on welfare, that they are | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
doing something wrong and are not self`reliant. And that has | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
stigmatised welfare. This is clearly an image thing. They have a woman | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
from the north of England, who speaks in a different way to Iain | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Duncan Smith, saying that people on benefits need to be nurtured back | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
into work. It seems that independent of the tone, it is a sensible point. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
In a modern and dynamic economy where people change jobs, most | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
people will end up on benefits at some point. And this is an important | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
way of making sure that people do not feel they are on the scrapheap, | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
that they have the opportunity to move on to something better. Isn't | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
it a bit late for that message? I think that the Tories have looked at | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
their market research and it has told them that this is affecting | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
them badly and they have decided to change the mood music, if not the | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
policy. How to squirm your way into Cambridge. Cambridge University | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
giving us access to videos of admission interviews that | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
prospective students have to go through to try to debunk the myths | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
of just how awful the process can be. You won't to Oxford, Matthew. | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
similarly nerve wracking. It was nerve wracking. I went to a state | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
school and never thought I would end up in Oxford. I was in a room with a | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
communist and a philosopher. It is intimidating if you are not used to | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
justifying an intellectual argument in front of two academics. We were | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
talking about employment and voluntary and involuntary | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
employment. One said if he were to put a gun to my head and then leave | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
this room or I will shoot you and you subsequently left, would that be | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
a voluntary or involuntary act? We spent the next half hour debating | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
the philosophical niceties of what constitutes a free act. Going back | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
to the story, it is a good idea to show people what it is like because | :13:50. | :13:50. | |
it can be intimidating and people should practice before they do it. | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
They do these days. Everything that is wrong with our political culture | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
in one anecdote. It tells you about the sort of people who write | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
for and read the Times. What do you mean? It is this classic... Why am I | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
reading and almost 5`page about one university in this | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
country? It is just the Oxford and Cambridge elite. And they | :14:21. | :14:37. | |
say is: We are Leeds. Thank you for joining us. And at midnight, we will | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
have more on the economy. Time for the latest from the Commonwealth | :14:45. | :14:45. | |
