controversial comments. That is all coming up in sports day in the next | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
15 minutes straight after the papers. -- Papers. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the International Editor of the Economist Helen Joyce and | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
We start with a mirrored that leads with the convicted murderer has | :00:21. | :00:35. | |
admitted to the first-time of the killing of the schoolgirl. He says | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
he is also behind a string of other attacks. The Independent headlines | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
urges Cameron to halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia. The Financial Times | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
talks about Google and Apple fighting back after a row over the | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
amount of tax paid by the technology giant. The Telegraph leads on the | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
findings of a scientific review that is found that some antidepressants | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
can raise the risk of suicide. There is the picture of grandparents of | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
the severely disabled teenager who won the battle against the bedroom | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
tax. Britain's role in Yemen attacks are under scrutiny. The Daily Mail | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
says that David Cameron must not taking 3000 migrant children. And | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
the Times reports on the top investor or in Google calling on | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
them to pay more tax in the UK. Top investor turns on Google over | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
tax. This is the most interesting story we have seen yet. You see | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
these things that they are called in to decide how much they should pay. | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
Long-term, you would not. Zero after year it seems grossly -- year after | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
year it seems so grossly unfair. He wants to know what the company he is | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
investing in is going to pay and that is better to everybody in the | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
long run. But somebody in the company is coming out saying that | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
creative tax accounting, and there is nothing wrong with it in terms of | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
the law, I quickly added, means that shareholders get a lot more pack, -- | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
a lot more cash in their pocket. They have an obligation to maximise | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
these kind of things. Absolutely what the shareholder is worried | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
about is that ?120 million worth of shares in Google's parent company. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
He's worried about a backlash that people will be so upset that it will | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
be even worse for the shareholder. What strikes me about this is the | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
arbitrary nature as to what is happening at the moment. The focus | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
on these giants, but what about these other companies are getting | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
away with it. What we want is a framework for these corporate giant. | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
What we need is a framework... I was going to give you a framework. We | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
need Britain to buy into it. And the deal is agreed by the G20 nations in | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Paris due to concerns about these companies and how they move them | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
from one country to another. If you only have one tried to deal with | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
this, the T20I'm now on board. And as he was saying about the | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
shareholder worried about a backlash, the European Commission is | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
looking into the monopoly on commission. If that was opened up | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
the board have alternatives and we could have a view on these attacks. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
It is absolutely vital for capitalism to work. There has to be | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
an implicit contact between the consumers and the big corporate | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
giants were becoming eager in a globalised economy. That revelation | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
needs to include sensible agreements and good regulation if they are | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
under monopoly situations that undermine the consumer. I know | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
enough about the search engine market that there is potential. I | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
know that advertisers have to be on board with Google... You can't say | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
this monopoly just because consumers like it. Let us go to the inside | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
page of the Financial Times. Government makes tax law and Google | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
complies. This is about the guy who was the head of communications at | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Google and he is coming out swinging saying that Google have not done | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
anything wrong but have followed the law. It is difficult for us to read | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
this with any information that we're bringing to it. Company SAP | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
confidentiality agreements and he is saying is that the 130 million that | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
they paid is the right amount and then to a paid. He is saying that | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
they made their profits elsewhere. That may be right, but there are | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
plenty of companies saying that they have, but they might rented out or | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
pay for it in a different spot and paid the money abroad. We can't tell | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
and we need transparency. We have the news of Facebook's profits for | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
the last three months of last year. ?1 billion. Guess how much tax they | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
paid last year and they did it legally, I have to add that point, | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
it is all legal and above board. Either sticking suspicion that is | :06:20. | :06:35. | |
?4000. I -- I have a sneaking. Are they paying a lot of money | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
elsewhere? I would love to know. On that letter that was written to the | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Financial Times, they said they are American company and that is where | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
they create their intellect or property and where they have their | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
value, and they pay $3.3 billion in tax. We don't know whether that is | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
credible. It is the transparency that is the problem. This agreement | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
with the G20 means we might get a bit more transparency on that. Why | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
we must not take 3000 migrant children because it would encourage | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
new influxes. I fundamentally disagree and I want a caveat that | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
with the perspective that when it comes to decisions of this time it | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
is always vital to take into account the unintended consequences. When | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
the German chancellor said we're going to be ethical and open it did | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
lead to a big influx and hopeful people from a war-torn country, | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
risking their lives with unscrupulous brokers would get them | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
to these places. David Cameron has invested taxpayers money in the | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
refugee camps in that area is. That is a sensible policy. However, 3000 | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
vulnerable children... No one does that alone. I also think we are not | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
spending enough in the camps. More than any other EU country. There are | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
literally millions of people in terrible conditions and the small | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
amount of money stops people getting ill but we could spend a lot more | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
money and stop people coming further on. These migrant children make the | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
think about the unaccompanied Jordan in the Second World -- unaccompanied | :08:32. | :08:44. | |
children in the Second World War. There may be the possibility with | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
parents saying... I know for a fact that that happens in Eritrea. A | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
country where conscription is the norm and it lasts for ever. The same | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
thing happens in Central America escaping from drug gangs and the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
world's most oppressive governments. What we're seeing is the unintended | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
consequences and economic migrants in there as well because they can. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Nobody is sending their children unless they think they are going to | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
die. Let us go to the Telegraph. Depression drugs make suicide more | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
possible. Many people have been saying this for many years and we | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
now seem to have a study that is confirming this. And yet why do we | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
not know that earlier? Why did they not show this important piece of | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
data is. And the reason is a familiar story of pharmaceutical | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
companies covering up the negative consequences of the drug. They only | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
work in establishing important data is if they are conducted. The other | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
problem is that they want to publish them. If it undermines the | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
credibility of the drug, don't publish them, do a bit more and hope | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
you get the results that you won't. That is not science that is a lie. | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
Strong language and you have written a book on this kind of thing. On the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
manipulation of not just to sticks but the way that big companies can | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
perhaps, ignore the lessons of the past, or the lessons of their own | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
research. The clinical try has been a huge blessing to the development | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
of the drug. The problem is when they are read. I write about the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
human factors and how they are delivered and the humans do it and | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
also the errors that often take place around the world that are | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
concealed. Partly because people are worried about being blamed. They | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
just don't want this to happen again and again. It is terribly sad | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
because families have children who have died because of this. It is an | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
ethical scandal that this information has not come to light | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
until now. I suppose that this kind of research has got the University | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
of London behind it so its voracity is there. Government have to act on | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
this. We don't know who because there are two levels. Should we not | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
be prescribing these things and the second one is a much more systematic | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
thing about how we regulate drug trials more generally. Should all be | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
published and you have to publish the results. End this particular | :11:46. | :11:57. | |
bias. URA former sportsman -- you are a. I played table tennis. Table | :11:58. | :12:12. | |
tennis is a sport. Careful! Very funny because she claims that she | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
has more passports than Jason Bourne. But she is a British citizen | :12:16. | :12:27. | |
now. We have claimed her. The first time in three decades that we've had | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
a female... Grew up in Australia until the age of 14 to Hungary and | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
parents. I can see the link between the two. We sent a reporter to | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
interview her parents and the mother is a dentist and the father works in | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
a gym. They are very settled. Let us be clear that she is British. It is | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
a lovely story because it has come out of nowhere but shows how | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
confident with a sense of destiny that she seems to have is a powerful | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
thing. Apparently a lot of the work that has been done with her as being | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
psychologist over the last few months and that is what has changed | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
things around for her. You were talking to one of the most ignorant | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
people about sport. I have one thing to tell you about this. I totally | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
agree with claiming all of these sport people. We don't get many | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
people. When you do you grab them with two hands and you just hold | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
on. That is the end of your contribution. They could do better | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
revealing school reports on the rich and famous. You are one of the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
smartest women that I know. Thank you. So your school report must have | :13:53. | :14:07. | |
been top grades all the way along. I did very bad in home economics. We | :14:08. | :14:25. | |
had criteria on effort. Dragging me towards... Know we never had ten is | :14:26. | :14:46. | |
too bad -- tends. Don't try to start this up. I left school with really | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
poor qualifications but I taught myself the top levels. I was so into | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
table tennis and the rest is history. Forget Churchill. As he | :15:04. | :15:18. | |
ever been on? Know he has not been in that chair. -- no. | :15:19. | :15:23. |
