to join Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams in the fourth round. That

:00:00.:00:00.

is in 15 minutes after the Papers. Hello and welcome to our look

:00:00.:00:13.

at the morning's papers. With me are Martin Bentham,

:00:14.:00:15.

home affairs Editor of the London Evening Standard and Lindsay

:00:16.:00:18.

Watling, Westminster correspondent The Daily Express points to

:00:19.:00:20.

the French Prime Minister's warning that the migrant crisis threatens

:00:21.:00:31.

the very existence of the EU. The Independent claims that a US

:00:32.:00:34.

health-care giant is making a fortune from the NHS but hardly

:00:35.:00:36.

any paying corporation tax. The FT says Google has reached

:00:37.:00:39.

a deal with the Treasury to pay "New drug to wipe out superbugs" is

:00:40.:00:42.

the headline in the Times. The paper says British scientists

:00:43.:00:47.

have spear-headed The Daily Mail claims

:00:48.:00:49.

the Queen has shown "extraordinary" support for Lord Brammall, who was

:00:50.:00:53.

falsely accused of child abuse. The Telegraph lead with the news

:00:54.:00:58.

that more than 100 MPs want to end BT's monopoly of the broadband

:00:59.:01:01.

cable, they say the service is The Guardian, in common with many

:01:02.:01:04.

other papers, has a picture of the British actress Charlotte

:01:05.:01:09.

Rampling on its front page. She's stepped into the Oscars

:01:10.:01:11.

diversity row by claiming the objection, that not

:01:12.:01:13.

a single non-white actor has been And finally,

:01:14.:01:16.

The Sun claims Coca-Cola and Pepsi have vowed to slash sugar levels

:01:17.:01:21.

in their products ahead of a Normal people never vow. Now of the

:01:22.:01:49.

trail part to, a national disgrace. This is a very Daily Mirror story.

:01:50.:01:55.

Just a warning in many ways come out there complaining that a contract

:01:56.:02:01.

for new trains to replace these bone shaking ones that you can see on the

:02:02.:02:04.

front of the paper, the Northern rail trains, has gone not to a

:02:05.:02:12.

British firm, but to a Spanish firm that will make them overseas. The

:02:13.:02:16.

problem is that it is damaging our rail industry, a great industry

:02:17.:02:23.

invented in this country and exported all around the world, we

:02:24.:02:30.

have always had a great tradition of making railways and so on, so there

:02:31.:02:36.

that issue. Then there is the steel that is used in production of these

:02:37.:02:39.

trains and the steel industry is and also to disarray at the moment,

:02:40.:02:45.

losing jobs. They're not doing anything by allowing this contract

:02:46.:02:47.

to go out of the country to support the beleaguered steel industry. But

:02:48.:02:56.

do you want to automatically give it to a company in this country? There

:02:57.:03:00.

was always that argument that can be made. The RMT has characterized this

:03:01.:03:06.

as a kick in the teeth and I think many people in Port Talbot and other

:03:07.:03:08.

areas where there have been severe job cuts will interpret this just

:03:09.:03:15.

one way. A lack of support. The Sun, a number of companies say

:03:16.:03:22.

they're going to cut their sugar levels but if you cut your sugar,

:03:23.:03:25.

you usually replace it with something which is not usually any

:03:26.:03:29.

healthier. I guess the question is by how much? There will still be a

:03:30.:03:34.

large amount of sugar in these products, even if you cut the

:03:35.:03:40.

sugar. Perhaps a better ideas to encourage children to drink water

:03:41.:03:44.

and healthier juices and perhaps eat a banana rather than having serial

:03:45.:03:54.

at breakfast. Good luck with that. The Prime Minister for the childhood

:03:55.:04:02.

obesity strategy which will -- has a childhood obesity strategy which

:04:03.:04:07.

will be published this quarter. One major problem is having too much

:04:08.:04:10.

sugar and the government wants to move towards persuading the industry

:04:11.:04:14.

to change its habits. This is what has been suggested is going to

:04:15.:04:19.

happen. The problem is they don't always do that sufficiently and they

:04:20.:04:21.

continue selling a lot of things which are quite unhealthy to

:04:22.:04:27.

people. Use against Jamie Oliver, Boris Johnson, all of them who want

:04:28.:04:33.

to introduce a sugar tax your London. It will be interesting to

:04:34.:04:41.

see -- he is, whether it actually works or whether it is just to avoid

:04:42.:04:45.

tougher sanctions from the government. It may be interesting to

:04:46.:04:52.

see if it will work, they said paying 2p for plastic bags would

:04:53.:04:56.

work but it has. Now moving on to the Times. This review of freedom of

:04:57.:05:04.

information rules which was prompted by claims, which we should all

:05:05.:05:09.

reject quite frankly, that these laws which were introduced by Labour

:05:10.:05:15.

were somehow being misused and causing excess costs. This is all

:05:16.:05:19.

about saying that public services come at the government and so on, it

:05:20.:05:32.

is saying that private contract -- contractors should be run publicly.

:05:33.:05:42.

If you can't obtain information about them, obviously that is a

:05:43.:05:46.

great problem. Prisons is one of the main ones, it is a private

:05:47.:05:54.

contractor running a public area. But how likely is it that it won't

:05:55.:05:58.

just be expanded? This is calling for the government to go even

:05:59.:06:02.

further. The fear is that things are going to be curtailed and there may

:06:03.:06:06.

even be a charge imposed for making a request, that is one of the fears

:06:07.:06:13.

campaigners have. I think it is unlikely but as Martin says, it will

:06:14.:06:19.

be welcome. I think it might happen because it might allow the

:06:20.:06:21.

government to do some of the things you are talking about, restricted on

:06:22.:06:25.

one hand and use it somewhere else, offer something and take some of the

:06:26.:06:28.

things you are talking about, restricted on one hand and use it

:06:29.:06:30.

somewhere else, offer something it takes nothing else away. The

:06:31.:06:32.

Financial Times, Google and the ?130 deal for back taxes. They say they

:06:33.:06:36.

have not done anything wrong but I think most people will be pleased to

:06:37.:06:40.

read this story although they might say, should the big companies be

:06:41.:06:45.

doing even more? This is the news that Google has reached a settlement

:06:46.:06:49.

with the UK to pay ?130 million in back taxes and higher taxes in the

:06:50.:06:53.

future. Is at the start of a crackdown? There was a lot in front

:06:54.:07:00.

of the accounts committee but if they haven't done anything wrong,

:07:01.:07:04.

why do they owe back taxes? There is a moral case, isn't there? It may be

:07:05.:07:11.

because George Osborne has introduced this year diverted

:07:12.:07:14.

profits tax were people who have lots of economic activity in a

:07:15.:07:17.

particular country and have been shifting it to other countries, the

:07:18.:07:23.

allegation has been that their real activities in this country and they

:07:24.:07:27.

should be paying tax here. I don't know whether it is after whether it

:07:28.:07:30.

is simply the idea that they feel, perhaps with the new regime, that

:07:31.:07:39.

they should make a PR gesture. Guardian, risky drinking fuels

:07:40.:07:43.

alcohol industry sales. This is quite a startling headline, how much

:07:44.:07:51.

problem drinkers boost the coffers. They have been accused of

:07:52.:07:54.

irresponsible marketing, and there is a claim that they make most of

:07:55.:07:59.

their money from people who have problems with rink. These statistics

:08:00.:08:03.

are English only but there is a similar problem in Scotland. The

:08:04.:08:07.

SNP, Nicola Sturgeon is trying to bring in minimum unit pricing,

:08:08.:08:11.

they're trying to take it north of the border. It is not surprising

:08:12.:08:15.

that the people who drink most of the alcohol are buying the most. On

:08:16.:08:21.

the other hand, it is exactly parallel with the sugar tax story.

:08:22.:08:25.

There is the same issue of big companies selling lots of products,

:08:26.:08:30.

it is in their interest to do that, but if those products are unhealthy,

:08:31.:08:34.

are they doing enough to exercise responsibility and trying to

:08:35.:08:36.

directed away from the people who are going to suffer the most? The

:08:37.:08:40.

allegation here in this story is that they are not and that the

:08:41.:08:44.

marketing is done in a way that Willie Cridge people who have

:08:45.:08:46.

problems with rink to keep doing it. There is done in a way that Willy

:08:47.:08:49.

Cridge people who have problems with rink to keep doing it. There's a

:08:50.:08:52.

drink responsibly label on everything -- will encourage people

:08:53.:08:56.

who have problems with drink to keep doing it. That's true. But they are

:08:57.:09:03.

selling cute bottles at insanely low prices. It still goes on. Up

:09:04.:09:11.

promotions. That is part of the problem -- cheap promotions. Staying

:09:12.:09:19.

with the Guardian, a picture of Charlotte rambling who has got

:09:20.:09:29.

herself embroiled in this diverse city row -- Rampling. Racist to

:09:30.:09:37.

whites, she says. She has stepped into a bit of a problem here. She

:09:38.:09:45.

has. She stated it very strongly, she seems to be getting a lot of

:09:46.:09:50.

criticism. Obviously no one wants to think that they have won and award

:09:51.:09:54.

because of the colour of their skin but I do think if you look at the

:09:55.:09:59.

statistics in the article, analysis by the LA Times found that 93% of

:10:00.:10:08.

the members of the Academy were white and 96% male with an average

:10:09.:10:14.

age of 63. It is not level playing field. She has been very brave to

:10:15.:10:22.

say this. She shouldn't be denounced for giving an honest answer. What

:10:23.:10:32.

she is really saying is, why classify people? These days people

:10:33.:10:38.

are more or less accepted, obviously you can argue that, but she is

:10:39.:10:44.

saying people should be taken as the person. Isn't the point that if you

:10:45.:10:48.

look at the makeup of the Academy, the people who make the decisions

:10:49.:10:52.

are not representative of American society? On Twitter there has been

:10:53.:11:02.

chatter about these statistics and the data is very readily available,

:11:03.:11:08.

but when user has said that even compared with black actors and

:11:09.:11:11.

actresses, Asian people and Latinas have even more to complain about --

:11:12.:11:20.

Latinos. The people nominated for the ward should be the best people,

:11:21.:11:25.

it would be good if that reflected a broad spectrum of society. That is

:11:26.:11:30.

what you want to go towards. It won't always be an exact

:11:31.:11:33.

representation, nor should it be. I think that is really what she is

:11:34.:11:37.

trying to say. Unfortunately, on this occasion and historically,

:11:38.:11:43.

there will be very few people who agree with her. The Daily Mail on

:11:44.:11:49.

page three. A test that could tell a woman if IVF will work for her. It

:11:50.:11:55.

is very expensive and not a nice process to go through for people, so

:11:56.:12:01.

how does this test work? This is a test that tells women if IVF is

:12:02.:12:06.

futile for them. The Daily Mail says it works by detecting whether their

:12:07.:12:20.

wounds -- wombs carry the correct DNA for it to work. Many women are

:12:21.:12:25.

leaving it later to start a family and this is usually one of the only

:12:26.:12:30.

ways. It might not stop you trying anyway, but you would have a more

:12:31.:12:34.

realistic knowledge of what your odds were, which would perhaps make

:12:35.:12:40.

it easier. Although I am sure if really wanted to try and still

:12:41.:12:44.

unsuccessful, it would be demoralizing and upsetting. I guess

:12:45.:12:49.

there is a danger of someone who might be put off completely from

:12:50.:12:52.

trying because they get a result from one of these tests. And they

:12:53.:12:58.

aren't always right. Not always. That's all for tonight.

:12:59.:13:03.

Coming up next it's time for Sportsday.
