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.
