snooker. And it has been a good day for

:00:00.:00:00.

England's cricketers on day one of the third test. That is in 15

:00:00.:00:00.

minutes after The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:07.:00:16.

to what the the papers will be With me are Tim Collins,

:00:17.:00:19.

former Conservative MP and Managing Director

:00:20.:00:25.

of Bell Pottinger Public Affairs, We will just get

:00:26.:00:26.

of the Guardian. Three of the men who took part in

:00:27.:00:43.

Three of the men who took part last Easter. If we gets nicked we

:00:44.:00:54.

can hold our heads up. It is like a story from way back. It reminds me

:00:55.:01:01.

of a story from one of the 1950s or 1960s East end. I would be surprised

:01:02.:01:04.

if they do not make a film I took if they do not make a film I took

:01:05.:01:09.

this and Ray Winstone with play on it. The darker side is that one of

:01:10.:01:18.

the figures was associated with a crime boss. What is remarkable is

:01:19.:01:27.

that people in the 60s and 70s were involved in a stunning claim. They

:01:28.:01:36.

have given themselves nicknames. There is the governor, Billy the

:01:37.:01:47.

Fish, the Ben Martin. Its roots be right not to see them as a bunch of

:01:48.:01:51.

cuddly old grandad. Their records go back a long way. And basil is still

:01:52.:02:00.

had the keys? Where is the ?9 had the keys? Where is the ?9

:02:01.:02:06.

million? A lots of people who had property in those city deposits

:02:07.:02:07.

boxes would like to know. Let us boxes would like to know. Let us

:02:08.:02:16.

talk about IAAF. Lord call was declared fit to clean up athletics

:02:17.:02:16.

but was he part of the problem? Fitness is getting closer to him by

:02:17.:02:29.

the report. The first report World Anti-Doping Agency said there

:02:30.:02:37.

had been systematic corruption on the part of Russia. It also said

:02:38.:02:44.

that the then President, Lamine Diack, was operating a system which

:02:45.:02:50.

involved in extortion and so on. The second report today sees it was not

:02:51.:02:56.

Lamine Diack by himself, people on the council must have known. Lord

:02:57.:03:00.

call has been in position here for eight years. The inference seems to

:03:01.:03:05.

be he should have known yet within the same breath the person who did

:03:06.:03:09.

the report said he would be the best person to clear it. He has only been

:03:10.:03:18.

President since August. He is the best person to deal with it. I know

:03:19.:03:26.

dealings in what he did with the dealings in what he did with the

:03:27.:03:31.

London Olympics he is effective and a clean and honest man. He should be

:03:32.:03:36.

going to talk about pensions next. going to talk about pensions next.

:03:37.:03:41.

Two very different treatments of the same story. The Daily Express giving

:03:42.:03:51.

as a positive look at it. Millions get pensions boost. But also the

:03:52.:03:51.

Daily Telegraph on pensions. Unpick the story. It is

:03:52.:04:00.

right. What is happening, and that right. What is happening,

:04:01.:04:06.

tells us something about the age profile of the leadership of The

:04:07.:04:09.

Papers, if you are over the age of 43 you will be better off as a

:04:10.:04:15.

result of the changes the Government has taken through. Most people who

:04:16.:04:17.

read The Daily Express are above the read The Daily Express are above

:04:18.:04:21.

age of 43 and four then it is good news. The Telegraph also has an

:04:22.:04:30.

above average readership. If you are under the age of 43 you would be

:04:31.:04:33.

worse off. There are lots of reasons for that. The system has been

:04:34.:04:38.

designed in that way. But you cannot ignore that politicians are very

:04:39.:04:39.

careful and calculating and the careful and calculating and the

:04:40.:04:45.

point is that people over the age of 43 vote in greater numbers of people

:04:46.:04:52.

under the age of 43. All of that is true but The Express and talking to

:04:53.:04:54.

its own audience sees this as good news. But the small print is seen

:04:55.:05:01.

2030. You have got to make it to 2030. Obviously if you do not

:05:02.:05:06.

survive to reach pension age there's not a lot the Government can about

:05:07.:05:11.

it. Young people need to start voting otherwise policy is going to

:05:12.:05:15.

be designed for the people that do vote. I hope if you are 43 you will

:05:16.:05:25.

make it until 2030. Let us look at the FT. NHS faces

:05:26.:05:33.

loss of senior staff as pension cap pushes doctors to retire. Why are

:05:34.:05:38.

they being pushed? George Osborne has decided to drop the tax relief

:05:39.:05:44.

on pensions, the amount you can accrue from a pension. It went to

:05:45.:05:49.

2.5 million. It will be 1 million from April onwards. The main thesis

:05:50.:05:54.

of the story is that there are a number of well-paid people who have

:05:55.:05:57.

been working for a long time inside the NHS so they have established

:05:58.:06:03.

these pots. You can retire at 55. They are suggesting such as the

:06:04.:06:04.

state within the NHS with people will think, I will jump ship

:06:05.:06:14.

now. There is difficulty about this. You get frequent stories about so

:06:15.:06:18.

many people wanting to leave the NHS. We have to remember that the

:06:19.:06:25.

NHS has got 1.6 million employees. It is one of the five biggest

:06:26.:06:27.

employers in the world alongside the United States Department of defence.

:06:28.:06:36.

You are bound to have... It puts into context the debate about junior

:06:37.:06:42.

doctors. There will be an entire generation, the junior doctors, have

:06:43.:06:48.

a large prospect of re-tiling on the sort of pension that hardly anybody

:06:49.:06:52.

in the private sector would ever be able to afford.

:06:53.:06:56.

brought in mind when you think about terms and conditions. They say their

:06:57.:07:00.

strike is to do with the fact that there will not be restrictions on

:07:01.:07:05.

dangerous hours. Junior doctors dangerous hours. Junior doctors

:07:06.:07:10.

doctors claim that they will only have ?1 million of pension, a phrase

:07:11.:07:14.

that hardly any MIDI in the private sector could meet.

:07:15.:07:32.

Carbon critics feared bloodbath. Ten Labour MPs face fight to keep seats

:07:33.:07:42.

as constituency boundaries change. Will the Conservatives benefit? It

:07:43.:07:46.

is a combination of two things. The Government is carrying to the change

:07:47.:07:47.

last parliament. The Liberal that they try to legislate in

:07:48.:07:53.

last parliament. The Liberal Democrats stop them. It was to make

:07:54.:07:55.

the boundaries of constituencies even so that you are the same number

:07:56.:08:01.

of votes in each constituency. It is fair. It does benefit the

:08:02.:08:05.

Conservatives but that is because the present system is skewed against

:08:06.:08:10.

them. Within the Labour Party this gives the opportunity for existing

:08:11.:08:13.

sitting moderate Labour MPs to be deselected because they will no

:08:14.:08:18.

longer automatically stand for the constituency they represent. The

:08:19.:08:22.

constituency may change. Jeremy Corbyn may throw them out. There are

:08:23.:08:34.

high profile names. It is a logical process which leaves the

:08:35.:08:36.

Conservative Party in an advantageous position. Whether it is

:08:37.:08:43.

fair or not, who can say? The Conservatives do not make this stuff

:08:44.:08:47.

up for themselves. There is a Commission that would set

:08:48.:08:51.

boundaries. How many times have we turned a deaf ear to the boundary

:08:52.:08:58.

Commission? The Conservatives implement that every single time

:08:59.:09:05.

which tells a story. Moving on to The Guardian, Church avoids split

:09:06.:09:07.

over gay rights but liberals paid place. It is an excellent story. We

:09:08.:09:18.

thought we were going to use the word schism in its proper meaning

:09:19.:09:22.

for the first time in a long time. Justin Welby has put together a

:09:23.:09:36.

deal. It is a surprise. The Liberals, the American Episcopalian

:09:37.:09:43.

Church, are not allowed to play any part, they are in favour of same-sex

:09:44.:09:47.

marriage. They will not be allowed to play any part for the next three

:09:48.:09:52.

years in terms of the running of the Anglican community. This was pushed

:09:53.:09:58.

on by Africans, principally the canyons, Ugandans and Nigerians who

:09:59.:10:02.

see this as a fragile deal. -- the Kenyans, Ugandans and

:10:03.:10:23.

Nigerians. Power is shifting. Africa and Asia are less socially liberal

:10:24.:10:31.

than north America. We will stay with The Guardian. Alan Rickman at

:10:32.:10:36.

the top of the front page. An actor of singular charm and charisma. A

:10:37.:10:45.

huge number of tributes paid to him. Friends taken by surprise. Many did

:10:46.:10:50.

not know he was ill. It is always said of actors that they are lovely.

:10:51.:10:56.

But it does seem that he was genuinely loved. He was marvellous.

:10:57.:11:05.

My family will always adore him for the Harry Potter movies. Latterly

:11:06.:11:26.

impeccable in the Die Hard movies. He once said he did not play

:11:27.:11:30.

villains, he played interesting people. He did not like to talk

:11:31.:11:45.

about the actual craft of acting. He said it was too difficult to

:11:46.:11:49.

describe. Whatever he thought of it, he had such an appeal. It is

:11:50.:11:59.

remarkable. The announcement came at half past 12. Since then over 5

:12:00.:12:03.

million people have come on the site and read about Alan Rickman, which

:12:04.:12:10.

is remarkable. Even more remarkable is that the audience from America

:12:11.:12:15.

coming onto the site is bigger than the UK audience. A measure of his

:12:16.:12:20.

appeal in all parts of the world. That is it for The Papers for now.

:12:21.:12:32.

We are back at half past 11. Now it
