Frontieres says it will force the infected underground.

:00:00.:00:21.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will feature

:00:22.:00:29.

tomorrow. For the second time in a day we have Yasmin and also

:00:30.:00:35.

journalist Eve Pollard. You make me feel like the office junior! Let us

:00:36.:00:39.

have a look at the front pages. The Observer says Scots will be offered

:00:40.:00:46.

a radical new deal for people to vote no in the referendum. A new

:00:47.:00:51.

poll suggests support for the yes vote is growing stronger and the

:00:52.:00:55.

Sunday Times claims Scotland is on course to vote for independence

:00:56.:01:00.

later this month. The Mail on Sunday carries a warning from Ed Miliband

:01:01.:01:04.

that manned border posts could be introduced Scotland boasts for

:01:05.:01:07.

independence. The Sunday Telegraph carries a picture of JK rolling who

:01:08.:01:12.

famously donated to the better together campaign and her main story

:01:13.:01:16.

is that MPs are likely to get a 10% pay rise next year. Katherine

:01:17.:01:23.

Jenkins is pictured on front of Scotland's Sunday post with the

:01:24.:01:26.

slightly confusing tag line, I'm so proud to be Scots. We will find out

:01:27.:01:30.

more about that a little later. We will start with the Observer. Scots

:01:31.:01:34.

to be offered a radical new bid it `` deal in a bid to save the union.

:01:35.:01:40.

I new opinion poll will shock Britain. This is the poll that we

:01:41.:01:48.

have been expecting. We are just 11 days until the historic vote and for

:01:49.:01:54.

the first time, very symbolically, it looks as though the Yes campaign

:01:55.:02:00.

have nudged ahead. Yes, everything is up for grabs. No

:02:01.:02:06.

one side can be seriously overconfident but I think it has not

:02:07.:02:10.

played... I have been to Scotland twice in the last six weeks, wants

:02:11.:02:14.

to Edinburgh and once in the Borders, and what was clear when I

:02:15.:02:18.

spoke to people there is that they did not like the bullying way the

:02:19.:02:25.

big voices of the No campaign were going on. They felt they were being

:02:26.:02:30.

put under and you pressure and they felt they were grown`ups and they

:02:31.:02:33.

could think about it and some of them really did not know which way

:02:34.:02:38.

they would go. A lot of people still do not. A lot say it will depend how

:02:39.:02:44.

they feel when they go with. I think whatever happens Alex Salmon has

:02:45.:02:50.

actually won. Even if it is a no vote they will get so many more

:02:51.:02:54.

concessions and that is the Observer story. There have already been hints

:02:55.:03:00.

that they will have a new convention and all kinds of new arrangements

:03:01.:03:05.

will be offered. Just stay with us and we can come to an agreement. I

:03:06.:03:11.

might be rather cynical about that. Government policy `` promised these

:03:12.:03:14.

things in the civil servants get hold of it and it does not really

:03:15.:03:18.

happen. If you think about it you have got separatists or people who

:03:19.:03:22.

want to be Independent all over the world, it is part of a zeitgeist at

:03:23.:03:27.

the moment, and I have expected that in the end it might turn out just to

:03:28.:03:34.

be a vote for independence because there has been so much negativity

:03:35.:03:39.

from this side and also there has been so much to frighten you. The

:03:40.:03:44.

very first thing, if someone says they will frighten you into it, it

:03:45.:03:48.

makes you think you will show them what `` who is boss and that is my

:03:49.:03:54.

take in the ballot box. They have been talking about all of these

:03:55.:03:58.

things they are going to give the Scots just to persuade them but they

:03:59.:04:03.

have had a long time. This is exactly what we're going to give you

:04:04.:04:07.

and here we are in of days before and it is almost like dealing with a

:04:08.:04:14.

boyfriend. You now have two 0 accepted it. Should it have been

:04:15.:04:18.

more carrot than stick all? There are really serious reasons why the

:04:19.:04:23.

Scots are thinking about this. They need to be thought about as well. It

:04:24.:04:27.

is quite clear to me that the way the Scots imagine their society is

:04:28.:04:35.

very different from the way our bigger British imagination is going

:04:36.:04:40.

in that they are very socialist minded, their nearest kind of ideals

:04:41.:04:44.

are the Scandinavian countries where as, whether we like it or not, I

:04:45.:04:50.

think our British government, successive governments, have veered

:04:51.:04:55.

towards the Anglo`Saxon, much more ruthlessly capitalistic model. At

:04:56.:05:00.

Times. I think ever since Margaret Thatcher until now there has been a

:05:01.:05:04.

number of, through Blair and Brown. I do not think it is necessary that

:05:05.:05:08.

we want to be like Americans, we live in bigger cities and we want a

:05:09.:05:13.

different life. When you go to Scotland as I have two do bits of

:05:14.:05:17.

work and to have holidays it is just a small group of people. London, let

:05:18.:05:25.

us be very honest, perhaps the problem in the British Isles is

:05:26.:05:30.

London runs everything. I fit we should become a city state and that

:05:31.:05:35.

is the next bit of devolution. Can I be Queen of London? Not the real

:05:36.:05:39.

Queen, she can be queen that I could run London. You need to speak about

:05:40.:05:44.

Boris `` to Boris about that. Every Scottish person I met while I was

:05:45.:05:49.

there, yes or no, is very pro`European. Let us move on to the

:05:50.:05:53.

Sunday Times. That is a big difference as well. They have this

:05:54.:06:00.

poll saying that the uni screen fears the break`up of the UK. David

:06:01.:06:05.

Cameron is due to breakfast with the Queen tomorrow. That will be an

:06:06.:06:09.

interesting conversation, went to? Publicly she does not express an

:06:10.:06:14.

opinion but in the Sunday Times Royal sources said to say that the

:06:15.:06:19.

Queen is a Unionist and we would expect that she is, she is the Queen

:06:20.:06:23.

of Scotland as well. So is David Cameron and so most of us in our

:06:24.:06:30.

hearts, we are part of Great Britain but you know you just have to have

:06:31.:06:35.

some imagination to think that the Queen will still be the Queen of

:06:36.:06:39.

Scotland. There is talk of a constitutional issue. They are in

:06:40.:06:44.

uncharted territory. It is not beyond human wit to try and sort

:06:45.:06:49.

something out. None of it is! Actually Her Majesty has been

:06:50.:06:51.

brilliant all the way through and she will find a way through and it

:06:52.:06:57.

will work fine if they do vote to leave. I notice that child has got

:06:58.:07:04.

to kill time. Is tickets? It is the Braemar Games so you would have to

:07:05.:07:08.

wear a kilt! The Scottish people are not going to get an elected head of

:07:09.:07:14.

government. You do not think they will become a Republican same time?

:07:15.:07:18.

I wish that they would! They did say that they actually won the Queen to

:07:19.:07:23.

remain head of state. Let us look at the Mail on Sunday. Ed Miliband will

:07:24.:07:29.

put up guards on the Scottish border and there is talk of a new Hadrian

:07:30.:07:33.

's Wall. Can we get duty`free as we go across? If anything would want to

:07:34.:07:37.

make you want to go and vote for independence this is a crazy idea.

:07:38.:07:46.

You can almost see a sitcom being written about the men who man of

:07:47.:07:55.

these guards with people passing by with too much mulled whiskey. Which

:07:56.:07:59.

way will it flow? I am getting very old and will I moved to Scotland

:08:00.:08:03.

because old people get a better deal? A nice little retirement

:08:04.:08:10.

village! You have that warmer sea. Free care. All of us could move up

:08:11.:08:17.

there. Who will it stop? Ed Miliband must be very worried because a lot

:08:18.:08:23.

of his MPs come from Scotland. This is just insane. The idea that you

:08:24.:08:29.

are going to have to go through customs, which you do not do now in

:08:30.:08:35.

most of Europe so the idea that you are now leaving Scotland, have done

:08:36.:08:38.

a think and what will you have to do, check how many shortbread

:08:39.:08:43.

biscuits you have got? It is just insanity. Let us move on to the

:08:44.:08:47.

Daily Telegraph and we can move away for a moment from the Scottish

:08:48.:08:51.

referendum. MPs to get a temper sent pay rise. They say this is an

:08:52.:08:58.

exclusive. They will defy the high minister and increase the salary to

:08:59.:09:06.

?74,000 a year. David Cameron said he wanted the body that looks at

:09:07.:09:09.

this to think again and he has even talked about scrapping the authority

:09:10.:09:13.

if they do not do the right thing. On so many levels this is a very bad

:09:14.:09:17.

idea, particularly in the election less `` election year. First of all

:09:18.:09:22.

there are far too many MPs and if anybody and you know MPs and I know

:09:23.:09:25.

MPs, they have far more time than you or I have. I thought they were

:09:26.:09:32.

rushed off their feet? I think most of them! I would not say they do not

:09:33.:09:38.

work but there are too many of them. I feel sympathy for some, the idea

:09:39.:09:43.

of the London Place and the country a state, Mike suggestion is there

:09:44.:09:50.

should be a house for the MP in every constituency, like the White

:09:51.:09:53.

House. When you become the MP there is none of this changing fixings and

:09:54.:09:58.

buy one with one mortgage and it is not your main house, you move into

:09:59.:10:01.

that house and a few the big family might be a squash and if there are

:10:02.:10:05.

two of you you might matter `` might rattle around but that is the house,

:10:06.:10:09.

while house prices are risen outside London, we should buy it and we

:10:10.:10:14.

should watch their expenses but then if they get far fewer expenses, and

:10:15.:10:19.

there are far fewer of them, then they could get a rise. I do not

:10:20.:10:24.

think they should get a rise. Not more than nurses or doctors. If they

:10:25.:10:29.

want take 10% rise in then or other public services workers should get

:10:30.:10:34.

the same, you cannot split the public service workforce. I think

:10:35.:10:37.

most of them do a good job, most of them do the kind of stuff I could

:10:38.:10:42.

never do, even getting elected must be so tough in today's very cynical

:10:43.:10:47.

world. Yasmin, you could get elected tomorrow! Oh, I could not. But you

:10:48.:10:57.

cannot claim that ?74,000 is not enough for you when so many other

:10:58.:11:03.

public service staff, it is just not. It is not enough if you have to

:11:04.:11:06.

have two homes but I do love that you should have two have two homes.

:11:07.:11:10.

For the responsibilities they have, ?74,000 is not a huge amount of

:11:11.:11:15.

money by modern standards. If the old days MPs had made some money and

:11:16.:11:21.

then they went into politics. Now they get involved with politics at

:11:22.:11:24.

university and they go straight into politics so they have never had a

:11:25.:11:28.

job, which is a bad thing for what they have got to do, and they have

:11:29.:11:32.

never had any money to fall back on, which is also possibly bad. The

:11:33.:11:39.

whole thing needs a rethink. I am sorry, I think it is possible to

:11:40.:11:44.

live in London for ?74,000. But not if you need to have a house

:11:45.:11:48.

somewhere us. But I agree, subsidised housing for all MPs in

:11:49.:11:52.

London or that wider area around Parliament but I do not think a 10%

:11:53.:11:57.

rise is necessary. Maybe they should all have a council house in their

:11:58.:12:02.

constituency. That would cause a lot of arguments, surely, you cannot be

:12:03.:12:06.

suggesting that? I am not saying horrible council house but there are

:12:07.:12:14.

some very nice ones. Lee leave council houses for the ones that

:12:15.:12:18.

really need them. I am saying that there should be a constituency home

:12:19.:12:22.

so there is no flipping and making money out of selling one and all the

:12:23.:12:25.

rest of it and that, when you get elected, is where you go and live. I

:12:26.:12:31.

do not think people become MPs for the money. They do not. They do it

:12:32.:12:35.

for other reasons and I think those are good reasons. I just want to

:12:36.:12:38.

quickly look at the Sunday Times again. Porridge gets a Tory flavour.

:12:39.:12:47.

This is a comedy series about someone who is not habitual criminal

:12:48.:12:51.

but the man who was a former Tory cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken, he

:12:52.:12:59.

is colluding, co`writing with the man who co`wrote the thick of it, to

:13:00.:13:05.

look at his time inside, the older Tony. It could be very funny because

:13:06.:13:09.

they make a joke because if you have been to eat and you know what prison

:13:10.:13:13.

will be like. This could be very funny and since we have got all of

:13:14.:13:17.

these great actors now who have been to public schools we won't have to

:13:18.:13:21.

look very far to look to get them to behave so I think it will be very

:13:22.:13:26.

funny indeed. I am quite intrigued by powerful people when they go to

:13:27.:13:30.

prison, how, when they come out, they make a career out of what

:13:31.:13:34.

happened to them in a prison, it is just extraordinary. Ordinary people

:13:35.:13:38.

do not do that, do they? They do not say, my life for 41 days in prison.

:13:39.:13:43.

What is interesting is that I thought Jonathan Aitken wrote some

:13:44.:13:47.

very good pieces, advice to Andy Coulson, about how to make the best

:13:48.:14:08.

of it. He has learnt a lot. He also seems to have had some sort of

:14:09.:14:10.

amoral rethink. That is what prison is all about, isn't it? It does not

:14:11.:14:13.

always happen. But it seems to have done.

:14:14.:14:14.

have. That is it for The Papers for today but we will have another look

:14:15.:14:20.

at the stories on the front pages in an hour. Stay with us on BBC News.

:14:21.:14:22.

We will have the latest on the crisis in Ukraine weather have been

:14:23.:14:25.

reports on the shelling during the cease`fire.
