is to explore the use of experimental treatments. Hello and | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
tomorrow. With me are Caroline Daniel, Editor of the Weekend | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
edition of the Financial Times, and Eleanor Mills, Editorial Director of | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
the Sunday Times. Welcome back to both of you. Tomorrow's front pages, | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
starting with: The Daily Mail, which leads on Boris Johnson's potential | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
return to the House of Commons, and says the news has sparked Boris | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
bandwagon fever. The Guardian, on the other hand, claims the move is | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
causing anxiety in Conservative ranks, over a future threat to David | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
Cameron's leadership. The Times warns the London mayor faces a race | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
against time to find a constituency before next year's election. While | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
the Telegraph says he could become Business Secretary if the | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Conservatives win the next election, although it leads on the news that | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
hundreds of thousands of people are preparing to withdraw billions from | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
their pension pots over the next five years under the government's | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
pension reforms. The Mirror's front page is dominated by the two British | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
students murdered in Malaysia. The Financial Times says American | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
takeovers of European health companies may be halted by the | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
potential closure of a US tax break. The Express warns that a tropical | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
storm will hit the UK on Sunday. While the Independent leads on | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
coalition divisions over Gaza, and why this simian "selfie" is costing | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
a wildlife photographer thousands of pounds in a copyright dispute. We | :01:34. | :01:49. | |
will aim to explain in a little more detail later. We will start with the | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Daily Mail. Caroline, Boris Feaver. We were both struck, looking at the | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
front pages, that most gratuitous, disgusting, awful, unflattering | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
photograph of Boris Johnson, announcing his run or office, is the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Daily Mail. It is not the most flattering, and I don't want to | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
compare it with the selfie of the... But it is a startling | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
comparison. The story is very anti` Boris in tone. It has this | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
extraordinary fact that it has apparently emerged last night that | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
his wife has given her full support to his plans, I'm not sure why that | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
is politically newsworthy to put on the front page. I love the idea that | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
it emerged last night. Yes, did she announced at a dinner party that she | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
was supporting her husband's plans? It is far more about plot, fever, | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
and dissension in the ranks. We had a discussion about how different | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
newspapers have discussed it. The Guardian has gone with trying to | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
cause trouble about Boris Johnson, but with very little proof, in their | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
new story about claims that Tory team are divided over the return of | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
their star player. In fact, it doesn't have any evidence about the | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Tory team being divided, just quotes people saying this is great news and | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
we welcome him back. The comparison is interesting. Sticking with the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Daily Mail, he already has team plotting, leadership was not told. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
I'm just not sure I believe that, particularly compared with what is | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
in the Guardian tomorrow, where Johnson himself, in the press | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
conference, said he was very pleased that Cameron had tweeted something | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
nice this morning. He says to be fair one of the reasons for taking | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
this decision, the decision to come back, was that on several occasions, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
publicly and privately, Cameron has said he would welcome things going | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
this way. I believe that is true. When I interviewed David Cameron for | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the Sunday Times magazine last year, he was very kind of open to the idea | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
of Waris coming back. He was fulsome in his praise, he said he would like | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
him back on the bench. I absolutely don't see why Boris would not tell | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
him he was making this announcement. It is all over the papers. It would | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
be great and is not to do it. Tory local chairman don't like people who | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
are backstabbers. `` chairmen. The sinister ideas don't make sense. I | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
think it is interesting how the British press are breaking this | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
down. We heard that he wasn't going to take any Cabinet position until | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
after he had stopped being met. And if he was going to come back, why | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
would he want to be business Minister? Let's compare it with the | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
Times. Now a race against time to find a seat. This talks about where | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
he might end up trying to be, and of course Uxbridge is in people's | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
lines. A lot of the argument as to why he has done this now, we have | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
thought that he might announce he is running for office because he has | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
only a few weeks to make the Uxbridge seat. That is incredibly | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
convenient to remain Mayor of London. A nice commute. The decision | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
on actually standing will be made on September the 12th. He has to throw | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
his hat in the ring quite quickly. The idea that he can't find a seat | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
before the election is slightly laughable. You think they might make | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
room for him? I think they might make room for him. It is classic | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Boris. Part of the reason people like him is the language he used | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
around it. I don't want to be furtive. I don't want to be a | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
modest, that is what people like modest, that is what people like | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
about him. He has that bumbling, eccentric charm. And he has that | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
capacity to reach the parts of the electorate the other Tories do not. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
It is a farce really, he is just as posh as Cameron and Osborne. He has | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
that self`deprecating manner. People like him. 60% approval ratings in | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
London, which is a Labour leaning city. One in five Labour voters | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
voting for him. This is why the Tory party are excited he is coming back. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Chuck into the mix the idea he is also talking about Britain leaving | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
the EU, which wipes Nigel Farage's argument of the table, it is not | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
surprising the Tories are excited. You mentioned the Guardian. Having a | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
closer look now, the Tory team are divided. That is their take on it. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
As I say, reading the first four paragraphs, there is no such | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
division in the Tory party over this. Halfway through the piece, | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
right wingback ventures quick to express approval. That doesn't seem | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
like a divided Tory team. Everyone is trotting out the same line. Twice | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
in the same piece, the quote is about him reaching parts of the | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
electorate that I can't reach. And Andrew Mitchell is saying the same | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
thing lower down in the article. What is interesting, to pick up, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
which we haven't focused on, is the context in which Waris Johnson made | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
this announcement today, it was a massive intervention into the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Eurosceptic debate `` Boris Johnson. Huge positives about European exit. | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
The language he used was about being a great European nation, with a | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
future outside the EU. We don't have to be paranoid and scared about an | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
exit. So his language is Orient and upbeat. Rather than being ashamed | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
about `` language is buoyant. Final thought on Boris Johnson? Adam | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
free, who had been suspected of plotting, says this has lit the | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
touchpaper. This is really good news for the Eurosceptic element within | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
the Tory party. Boris Johnson expect them to be behind him. In terms of | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Waris, this is entirely consistent. I remember when I worked with him at | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
the Telegraph, when he was doing straight banana stories, he knows | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Brussels well. `` Boris. Boris Johnson knows how to negotiate with | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
Brussels. He has sat in meetings talking French to EU officials, and | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
this could also be a way of saying the only way to get the EU to take | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
you seriously is if you paint a positive picture of how some could | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
be doing well outside it. And actually, Cameron's thing of saying | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
we will campaign for a yes vote, and staying in the EU as long as we get | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
this renegotiation, is the wrong way to go. They have to believe we | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
really might go, or it won't work. There are other stories around. Let | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
us stay with the Guardian, because, it is extraordinary. On the front | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
page of the Guardian, 40,000 Iraqis hired on mountain from deadly is `` | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
hide. Looking at what is happening on the outskirts of Mosul. We have | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
spent a long time talking about one man who might run as an MP, compared | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
with tens of thousands of Iraqis. They are under threat from ISIS, who | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
are highly aggressive in Iraq. The UN now says that many of them, women | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
and children, have now taken refuge on a mountain which was once | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
identified in local legend as the final resting place of no's art. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Biblical symbolism, and they were being threatened with `` being | :09:35. | :09:48. | |
beheaded. `` Noah`s Ark. `` Akrotiri. There is a reference to a | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
particular city, Sinja, which has been totally emptied of all its | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
inhabitants. Two talks of starvation, they had to walk two | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
kilometres to get water. And we know these jihad as a pretty nasty people | :10:06. | :10:19. | |
`` jihadists. We ran stories last week about them boasting about the | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
headings. It is really horrible. Particularly in light of what is | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
going on in Gaza `` beheadings. In the Telegraph, obviously a reference | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
to Boris Johnson, but we have dealt with him. A ?4 billion tax bonanza. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
This is the chance to avoid compulsory annuity, and doing | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
something slightly more novel instead. Yes, this is the first time | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
supposedly we have a number on how many people we think are going to | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
draw down on their pension savings, and rather than buying an annuity, | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
they can do what they like with it. The quid pro quo was supposed to be | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
that the government could advise people whether it was a good idea or | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
not. This is what you need to know. The problem is the incentive of the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
government in terms of tax receipts, to have them take lots of money out, | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
and actually, they then had to pay a lot of tax on the money they have | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
saved. The concern obviously is that people will do it for the wrong | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
reasons, because they think a lot of money now, meant a lot of money to | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
me now, rather than thinking of the long`term. What is interesting about | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
this is it suggests that the average amount of money people will take out | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
a something like ?40,000. That is a huge amount, because the average | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
saving of anyone in this country is actually only about 85,000. | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
People's pensions, their whole savings, a 35,000. That does suggest | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
that we are talking about wealthier taxpayers looking to take down money | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
and not put it into an annuity. Probably thinking they could make | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
more money by putting it into investments or buying a flat. But | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
then if you take a 40,000 pounds, you will hit the top thresholds. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Many of them probably don't realise they could end up losing nearly half | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
their pension in tax. Which is pretty bad, if you think you've | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
already paid tax on this. Plus the idea of what kind of investment will | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
deliver enough return to make up for the tax liability? I need some | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
advice. Or advice available, leaves. The Independent's FrontPage. The | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
LibDems turn on Cameron over Gaza. This is in the backdrop of Baroness | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
Warsi's resignation. What Britain should do about arms sales. This is | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
also Nick Clegg trying to put Clearwater, clear yellow water, | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
between him and Cameron on Gaza. It was very interesting watching | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Campbell on Newsnight last night. He was very much acting Baroness Warsi. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
And this is more of them `` backing. The Foreign Minister had | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
also discussed quitting. Baroness Warsi had mentioned someone had, no | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
names had been mentioned. Others have denied planning to resign. Nick | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
Craig says that it is also the Independent Promoting their own | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
story `` Nick Clegg. UK weapons were being used in the bombardment of | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Gaza, so going back to that and saying that there is unrest. What do | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
you make of it? It is a round`robin of a mop up job after the big news | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
has come out with Baroness Warsi, the big news story of the week. And | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
this is all echoes of that. Others say they think the same thing as | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
well, but it has less resonance. The issue about arms sales to Israel is | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
certainly being looked at, but the idea that it merits a big strategic | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
change from government, Nick Clegg already said that a few days ago. So | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
the fact that other Democrats are saying the same thing is not that | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
surprising. And also, it is quite weird. The Independent offer and | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
tries to be different, it has strange news values tomorrow. They | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
have Boris Johnson making his move at the top, and I love the monkey, | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
but to have the monkey and the LibDems, is quite questionable. | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Maybe they think their readers are more interested in that. Given that | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
you love the monkey, it features on the front of The Independent. Who | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
wants to tell us the story of the monkey? What is fascinating, is that | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
in our DNA is some obsession with taking pictures of ourselves. And | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
this is certainly borne out by this photograph. This is a | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
Gloucestershire photographer who went into the jungle of years ago. | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
With a great camera Koopman, and this monkey grabbed it from him, and | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
started taking pictures. Not all of them successfully, apparently. This | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
one is rather good. This was a triumph. He took a good selfie. The | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
issue is you hope to make a lot of money from these photographs, the | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
photographer, and wikimedia has put it online with no attribution. And | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
no royalties. Wikimedia claim he did not take it, the monkey took it. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
That is a bit unfair, the poor chap heaved his camera around the | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
rainforest. The monkey did not provide the camera. He has to prove | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
he set the camera angles and the scene. He wouldn't have been taking | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
pictures, but you know. I love the smile. It really does look like | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
selfie. Time is up, thank you both very much indeed for having a look | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
at tomorrow's papers. More of course from the Papers at the same time | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
tomorrow night. Stay with us here in BBC News, at midnight the Mayor of | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
London, Boris Johnson, says he wants to stand in next to's election. | :16:06. | :16:33. | |
Hello. This is Sportsday. Celtic crashed out of the | :16:34. | :16:34. |
