from Roger Federer, who has big plans for next year. That is coming | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
up in Sportsday. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
to what the papers will be With me are the economist | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Bronwyn Curtis and the broadcaster and former football administrator | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
David Davies. We are going to start with the i. | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
You will see a number of different coloured boxes of Nurofen. A blue | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
one, an orange one, a red one, if I can zoom in, and a purple one. The | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
suggestion is, according to the Australians, that although these | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
boxes... You are in Australia? I am indeed. Although they are different | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
colours, they have the same stuff in them? Yes. That is the allegation. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
The competition authority in Australia are saying they are | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
exactly the same. It is misleading. Get them off the shelves. That is | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
what is happening in Australia. But it is coming here as well. The | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
company has said, just because that has happened in one region, it is | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
not applicable to others. Here, the advertising standards authority is | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
now taking a look at this. It is after they have had a series of | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
complaints, earlier this year. It seems to have taken the Australians | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
to pull the trigger. They are exactly the same! What does that | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
mean? An Australian backache is different from a United Kingdom | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
backache? A layperson like me cannot understand. It is like this. You | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
look in your cupboard, I've got some year offence, or ibuprofen. -- | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
Nurofen. If it is not brand, it is cheaper. I better go and see if they | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
have anything specific for backache. You go to the chemist, it is called | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
product differentiation, I think. You can charge double for it. I go | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
to a wonderful chemist. Because I had an illness earlier this year, I | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
have had more medicine in the past six months than in the past 60 plus | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
years. That is the first point. And I have got increasingly worried and | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
depressed by, when I go and see all of these different painkillers, this | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
story in Australia just makes things even worse. Cold cures are the same. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
It's only because I've got an excellent chemist in my village who | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
says, have that and do not have that. If you don't happen to have an | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
excellent chemist, or there is not a chemist, somebody to talk to you, or | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
a doctor on the end of the phone or whatever, this does mean if you go | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
into a pharmacy and UC for back pain, for a headache, | :02:57. | :03:09. | |
it. That has been allowed, to a point, in the advertising | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
here, they might not be breaking any laws? They might not. There have | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
been complaints here. If you look at the back, I am sure the company has | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
had focus groups that have said, well... Some of the public wanted? | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
They will buy it. If it says Nurofen Express, does that mean you get | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
cured more quickly? That is the idea, it gets absorbed into your | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
bloodstream. And I being cynical, that is just the same... That is not | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
something we can go into, let's not be subject of a court ruling. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
Britain to quit EU over migrants, we know that David Cameron is trying to | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
negotiate a different relationship with Brussels. He has put feelers | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
out, it is not looking too good, particularly on cutting the benefits | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
of new migrants arriving in the UK. A new poll showing that Europe is | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
unpopular because of the migrant crisis. Hardly a sensation. From the | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
pro-European point of view, you have to do worry that David Cameron is | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
actually allowing the wrong questions to be asked in this | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
so-called negotiation. Is that cynical? It is a negotiation. It is | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
going today, particularly later in the week. Are there bigger | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
questions? Is Europe's safer, for the UK and its citizens, if we are | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
in or not? That seems to be a fairly basic question, when I hear Sir Hugh | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Orde and former police chiefs saying that we need to be in Europe to | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
share the important security information. To me, that seems | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
fundamental. It is difficult to get away from the whole migrant and | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
refugee question. So many people are trying to get in here, it has been | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
all over the media for two years, practically, that has become a | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
central question of the whole debate. Or, is, as David is saying, | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
the staying in camp is allowing it to be the central question, and not | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
making it more of a side issue? As you can see, it makes a great | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
headline. Blame it on the migrants. People are a bit frightened by it as | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
well. Who is coming in? Can we control them? So it is easy to play | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
to those emotions. Either way, this particular survey in the express was | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
by a company called Servation, I've never heard of them. They are | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
commissioned by the Lines For Direct Democracy In Europe, an alliance of | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
parties including Ukip. I am not saying they have not done their job | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
properly, but I think they brought out the things that they wanted to | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
bring out. As you say, there are other things. Europe is our biggest | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
trading partner. We sell most of our goods to Europe. 60%. Having said | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
that, there clearly is, according to polls, and Servation is a reputable | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
company, no question about that. People seem to be leaning towards, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
according to these polls, towards a situation where perhaps they don't | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
want to be in. You could be excused for thinking that there is a get | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Britain out campaign and a little bit of a staying in campaign. The | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
biggest name that I am aware of at the moment, who is active, is Will | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Straw, the son of the former Foreign Secretary. Maybe they are having | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
trouble getting the message out. Are you seeing what the bookies are | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
saying, 63% are going to say they will vote to stay in? I listen to | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
the bookies sometimes. Even the ones that say Louis van Gaal is going to | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
leave... We'll not get onto that! We will talk about pension bonds, | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
saving rates are slashed by half. These pension bonds, they were | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
announced a year ago. One year, and I think three-year bonds. They had a | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
great interest rates. The one-year, 2.8%. The three-year, 3%. They are | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
not going to continue with the one-year bonds. Well, they are going | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
to continue with them, but they are dropping the rate to 1.45%. That is | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
not only outside the top ten, it is 0.7% below the best rate you can get | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
for a one-year bond. We didn't hear anything about that in the Autumn | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Statement, did we? I didn't hear anything. Funny, that! I don't think | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
there is an election this year, is there? Probably not. Why are you so | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
cynical? Because, being a person of a certain age, in January of last | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
year, the other side of the pond, I spent hours trying to get through to | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
National Savings And Investments, to buy some of my bonds. I fought and | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
fought, and I worked the computer in Mexico. I got some bonds. I have a | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
view on this. This sort of retrospection... You got to be | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
careful, it is not a retrospection, it was a one-year bond. What about | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
the three-year? What they are saying is that when that mature as they not | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
necessarily do that either. I think they won't. I think this... These | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
are fantastic rates. There was no suggestion that they would carry on? | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
At all? I suppose people felt they would. The application was? So we | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
got suckered? That is what you are trying to say. But you got that good | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
rate for a year. If you put it in for three years, you made it for | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
three years. Doing all right. But only for a small amount of money. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
You got suckered, David, sorry! Have this bloke. He is going into | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
space! Tim Peake. He is leaving Russia | :09:32. | :09:44. | |
tomorrow, Kazakhstan, sorry, and he is going to the International Space | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Station. It's going to be a very special day for the UK. I know there | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
will be people that are saying tonight, what a waste of money, what | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
are we doing up there? All of the rest of it. I think it is great, | :09:57. | :10:10. | |
Boy's Own stuff. I would love to blast off, and some people would be | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
glad that I did, blasting off from Kazakhstan. He is achieving a | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
lifetime ambition. I saw his mum and dad, sitting, as you do, in | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
Kazakhstan. They were so proud. And rightly so. And credible. Is it | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Boy's Own stuff for you? Is Definitely Boy's Own stuff. Gil's | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
Own stuff? The only thing that would have made a better would be a | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
British woman going. It is a great story. We have had a lot of really | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
depressing story so far. This is a really nice, feel-good story. Of | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
course, it does mean that, you know, they are blasting off from | :10:56. | :10:56. | |
Kazakhstan, it means that Britain Kazakhstan, it means that Britain | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
is, you know, working with all of these other countries as well. That | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
is really good. A lesson for us in Europe? I think it is a lesson for | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Europe. We might get in trouble for that. Many thanks for that, you will | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
be back in one hour's time. Much more coming up. Now it is time for | :11:17. | :11:17. | |
Sportsday. Hello I'm Olly Foster, | :11:18. | :11:34. | |
this is Sportsday, here's what's | :11:35. | :11:37. |
