We will hear from him and we will bring you the latest from the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Masters snooker, all in Sportsday in 15 minutes after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are Isabel Hardman, Assistant Editor at the Spectator | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
and Jim Waterson, Deputy Editor at Buzzfeed. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Time now for a reminder of some of the front pages. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The Telegraph front page has the Conservative leader of the House | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
of Commons, Chris Grayling, saying the European Union | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
in its current state is disastrous for Britain. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
The Financial Times reports that employers may now have the right | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
to read workers' personal emails and messages, | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
following a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
It describes it as a landmark ruling giving full access | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
The i says the first genetically-modified embryos | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
could be created in Britain within weeks, in what it says | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The Guardian has conducted a survey indicating Jeremy Corbyn enjoys | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
overwhelming support among the Labour Party's grass roots. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
It also has news of some interesting gifts presented to the Royal Family, | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
including a marzipan model of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
The Mirror tells us that David Bowie has been cremated without any | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
ceremony, even for family and friends. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
The paper says he made clear before his death that he didn't want | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
The Scottish Daily Record has the story of David and Carol Martin, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
So, good to have you back with me. Let's begin. Isabel, you can take us | :01:38. | :01:55. | |
first to the Times and their lead story is about the fact you are | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
going to have to move into your school playground if you want to | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
have a place. This is really interesting, 90 primary schools are | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
refusing to accept pupils living 300 metres away and one school has | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
shrunk its catchment area to 92 metres according to a survey. It's | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
really interesting, middle-class parents living near the most | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
desirable schools to secure places for their children have forced local | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
authorities to shrink their catchment areas. It's unfair to | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
blame middle-class parents for wanting the best thing for their | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
children, but those parents who can't afford to pay school fees to | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
get into the best state schools, under the system that has existed | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
for years, are lumped with the school they are given for their | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
children when every parent wants the best for their child, it's just what | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
they can afford. The state school system shouldn't be set up to cater | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
for those who can move to a desirable neighbourhood. Essentially | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
you are paying school fees but you are doing it through another means. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
House prices. This all comes down to this point, the Local Government | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Association talking about the burden and the cost of providing these | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
extra places needed. We have too many children and not enough spaces. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Yes. That doesn't mean those schools have to be bad. There's lots of ways | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
to look at it. It shouldn't be a case of pupils being terrified. | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
People need another choice. Jim, why we are talking about it, staying | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
with the Times -- while. Petrol may soon be cheaper than water. The | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
price of Brent crude going below $30 a bowl -- $30 a barrel. If petrol is | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
86p a litre then it is cheaper than water... I'm not sure what water | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
they are drinking or what they are thinking of. It's a nice idea, the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
idea that it has gone that cheap that we can discard it in a bottle | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
or something like that. It is great for us. Everyone in the UK who has a | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
car feels a bit wealthier. It's terrible for countries relying on | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
oil revenue, which includes a lot of places with teetering economies in | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
the Middle East where we would prefer them to be stable with lots | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
of income. It raises many issues. In Scotland, then you have Scottish | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
independence, due in a few months if the "yes" vote would have gone | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
through, what with the finances have been like if the oil price is like | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
it is. What were you going to say? If it is cheaper than water then you | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
could shower in oil. We were talking about what kind of oil, does it have | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
fairy dust or do you have to go to special springs to get it? Vets have | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
a look at the Guardian, their lead story is about support for Jeremy | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Corbyn -- let's. This is a survey they have done from 632 | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
constituencies in England, Scotland and Wales. It's really interesting, | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
even though the opinion polls for Labour in the General Electric | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
aren't great, Labour members are pretty keen on what Jeremy Corbyn is | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
doing -- General electorate. MPs are saying they come back from their | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
local constituencies and they are being told they have done a great | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
job, they are saying that the press and the MPs are being very mean to | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. Even if the press are biased to Labour, it is one of the | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
facts of life that the party needs to deal with. Entail it works out | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
how to deal with that and the electorate's suspicions of its | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
leaders then they won't get into power -- until. They have more | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
complaints for the comments about Jeremy Corbyn underperforming rather | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
than voting to bomb Isis in Syria. The action is less important than | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
criticising their leader. Why are they constantly undermining him? | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Membership has almost doubled in the general election. These members are | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
flooding back in. They are old members coming back in that | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
understand the way Labour works. This isn't naive people, these are | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
people who left because of the Iraq war and they want to get the party | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
back to where they feel it should be. The problem for anti-Corbyn | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Labour MPs, of which there are many, is how to convince the members that | :06:21. | :06:36. | |
things will be better in 2020. That was his unique selling point, a new | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
kind of politics, they have to convince them of that. That will be | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
a long-term project because the members don't trust the MPs, they | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
trust Jeremy Corbyn. Fascinating. The Mail have that story we have | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
been talking about, the European Court of Human Rights. Looking at an | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
old case of someone who lost their job because he was apparently using | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
personal e-mail when he shouldn't have been. Talk us through this, | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
people will be worried potentially. He set up a Yahoo messenger account, | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
the equivalent of Facebook or WhatsApp, some sort of messaging | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
service. Fissette it up for work but was using it for private use -- he | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
set. When his company checked whether he was doing his job | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
properly, they went through his private messages and use them as | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
evidence he wasn't using his job properly because there were 40 pages | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
of messaging his fiance and his brother. That was in 2007. Finally | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
we have a ruling almost a decade later that they were OK to do this. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
It's not that they are going to jump straight into your personal e-mail, | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
but if you're logged in on a personal computer using an account | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
then there is a certainly wait to which they have access. The Mail | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
have a wise quote from an employment law specialist on the front page, | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
saying the safest course of action from employees is avoiding using | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
these platforms because who knows whether your boss is watching. If | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
you don't want your employer to see it, don't send it on your work phone | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
or computer. But what about if you have your own smartphone app and you | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
are on work's time but it is your device and you might want to send an | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
e-mail. You keep it in your pocket and you never let your boss know | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
that you have got it and you will be OK. Text in the loo, or something | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
like that. Put it under the table or something like that. There is a | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
point where you are entitled to a private life even at work, so you | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
need some access to be in touch with people on private issues, but where | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
are the boundaries? I think with most bosses, as long as you are | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
sensible and you don't leave too many breadcrumbs that they could | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
follow to find the trail then you are probably all right. Don't do too | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
much of your online shopping or anything like that there. You | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
wouldn't want to work for a boss going through stuff like that. But | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
in some firms, trade unions would be very worried like this, especially | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
workers on low paid, on exploitative contracts. This is the kind of thing | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
an unscrupulous boss could do to someone less powerful -- Lope. I | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
thought the most telling item here is legal experts warn staff should | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
now assume all their online activity is monitored. The safest approach, | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
as you say, is be discreet and don't think they can't have a look. Let's | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
have a look at the i. A picture of a baby with his cute chunky thighs. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Quite a serious ethical question here because of a ruling that is | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
about to be made one way or the other about whether genetically | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
modified embryos could be created in Britain. The current law is that the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
embryos aren't allowed to live beyond 14 days. But this piece says | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
the research has accepted that the research could one day lead to the | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
birth of the first GM babies should the existing ban be lifted. It's | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
really interesting about how much control we are going to allow people | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
over how what type of baby they could have. You can ask people | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
questions, do you want scientists coming up with embryos in a | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
laboratory? No. Do you want a family making sure they don't pass on | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Huntington's? Absolutely. They are the same thing. Which framing do you | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
like on a slightly contentious issue. Looking at the coverage of | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
IVF babies, it was all wide-eyed and, what is this? Test-tube babies. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Even this coverage here, it says a small step for GM babies. This | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
initial decision is about whether the embryo can be genetically | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
modified to look at the very early stages of the development of the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
embryo, especially looking at why women miscarry, so there's no | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
suggestion of these being implanted, but it opens ethical questions about | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
what could happen further down the line. To the Telegraph. This is | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Chris Grayling, who has been talking perhaps not hugely surprisingly | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
about his views on the possibility of a Grexit. If we are looking at a | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
referendum on EU membership in the summer or early autumn then | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
ministers have to start positioning and those that want to be on the | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
leave site have to start signalling they want to do this. Chris Grayling | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
is the first to jump -- leave side. We can't criticise too much because | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
we haven't got a deal yet. We are all pretending that David Cameron | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
could come out for leave, although we know he won't. Tentatively he has | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
to say in this potential situation I would probably said we should go | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
against the EU. I think Chris Grayling is not necessarily at the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
core of the cabinet right now. I think he was sort of sidelined in | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
the last reshuffle to become Leader of the House of Commons from Justice | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Secretary. It's interesting, the Telegraph piece covering his article | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
says his article today is carefully worded, and it has not come as a | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
surprise to number ten. He's not exploding in the media, he's being | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
very careful, but he has long made noises about leaving the EU and he | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
was one of the key figures to get David Cameron to suspend collective | :12:36. | :12:36. | |
responsibility when the renegotiation finishes. On the front | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
page he writes, even if David Cameron doesn't get the vote how he | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
wants it, he wouldn't have to resign. He says it is wrong that he | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
would have to resign according to David Cameron. Gently done. We know | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
where that is going. Isabel, end us on this rather lovely news on the | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
front of the Daily Record, ?33 million for David and Carol Martin. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
I love the fact the paper has two pictures of them looking really | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
shocked and surprised and happy. When you see these stories you | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
always think about what you would do with the money and what their life | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
must be like, they always talk about small things because they haven't | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
grasped what they have won. Champagne flutes and a new pair of | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
shoes. They will probably buy a few homes but now it is the shoes. We | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
are all tantalised by these life changing amounts of money. In an | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
area hit by the floods, and the journalists said Will you give | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
anything to the victims of the floods, and they said maybe. The Sun | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
are saying they are going to give their fortune away. It must be | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
awkward if you have already committed to saying something like | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
that. They just want their holiday, doesn't mean they are bad people. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
The question about them changing, they said it might change what they | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
will do but not them as people. It might change the people around them | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
more than them. You wouldn't fear losing your job because you could | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
pay your mortgage for the rest of your life. Fear of not having a pay | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
cheque is probably quite a big thing for most. A psychologist earlier | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
said it could be deeply demotivating not to have to work again but I | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
could cope for a while. ?33 million? Why not? Many thanks to both of you. | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
Coming up next it's time for Sportsday | :14:43. | :14:44. |
