Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are Dawn-Maria France, Editor-in-chief of | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Yorkshire Women's Life magazine, and James Martin, Executive Editor | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The Observer claims the government is battling to protect a ?30 billion | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
The Sunday Express headlines a new study which suggests people | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
taking heart statins almost double their risk of developing diabetes. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The Mail on Sunday claims David Cameron is considering sending his | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
son to one of Britain's top private schools, Colet Court, in London. | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
The Independent on Sunday leads with reports the Prime Minister is very | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
close to securing a four-year curb on migrants benefits with the EU. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
The Sunday Telegraph focuses on the continuing migrant crisis, | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
headlining violence at a demo in Dover and the deaths | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
of 39 people, some of them children, who drowned in the Aegean Sea | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
And the Sunday Times reports criticism | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
from David Cameron towards Britain's top universities for failing to | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Let's begin with the Independent. A relatively familiar refrain across | :01:23. | :01:41. | |
the Sunday papers is about European union and whatever deal Mr Cameron | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
may or may not have achieved. I would like to talk about the UN | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Security Council that had the discussion recently about a peace | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
were roadmap for Syria. They didn't mention ISIS, or what happens to | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
President Assad, and all of this feeds into the migrant crisis. The | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
PM will be meeting Donald Tusk, the president of the EU, tomorrow to | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
talk about the migrant plan and benefits cap for EU migrants. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Eurosceptics are saying that this isn't a deal that they believe will | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
happen, and they question the pre-election pledge and say that is | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
dead in the water, because the pledge did say that the EU would be | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
discussing it particularly as it pertains to benefits. I think this | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
is an argument that will be impossible to thrash out, really. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
This will frame a great deal of the debate. It feels like a massive rush | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
going on at the moment. Jean-Claude Juncker was involved with | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
discussions with the PM on Friday, and Donald Tusk and the PM will be | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
meeting at Number Ten tomorrow. Number Ten is briefing that any deal | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
with the EU will involve Britain, that the day after any deal they | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
will be able to block benefits payments to EU migrants. So much of | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
this is linked with the migration crisis. We are coming up to a summer | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
period, which will potentially mean more crossings. We already have | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
record amounts of people coming to the EU at the moment. We are seeing | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
a 35 fold increase year-on-year in January of European arrivals. That | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
is a huge number. 35 fold increase! Talking about all these people | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
trying to come to the EU this year, which can only understand why this | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
is going to come to a head. It is fascinating that a couple of years | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
ago, if we had been talking about and in our European referendum -- | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
in/out. Migration wouldn't have been the top of the list, but now it is | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
what everyone is talking about. Look at what happened this summer when we | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
saw the boats coming to Greece and the sad story of the little boy | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
drowning, and his body being on the beach. We are seeing the pictures | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
now, there is no escape from seeing the reality of these people fleeing | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Syria. And indeed the ramifications. If you take a look at | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
the next paper, the Sunday Telegraph, the migration crisis | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
deepens. You just mentioned that memorable photograph of the dead | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
baby on the beach. Images are so important, aren't they? Another | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
striking image, another element of this migration story. The image of | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
Aylan Kurdi washed up on the beach was a picture that seemed to change | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the issue, it changed the way wreckage people were thinking about | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
this crisis. It seemed to change the way politicians approach the issue. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
This image on the front of the Sunday Telegraph today, it feels | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
like a Banksy painting. You look at this, and there policeman with that | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
Johns, guys holding placards. This is a picture of this five-hour riot | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
that occurred in Dover today. You have buses with swastikas daubed on | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
the sides of them. Antifascist protesters, far right protesters, | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
though becomes out of this looking very good. It is a shameful episode. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
There were nights, knuckledusters, polls, bits of wood being taken from | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
some of the protesters -- knives. I am using the word protest loosely, | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
because this was never going to be a protest, it was a brawl and that is | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
what it turned out to be. The media coverage of all of this, how | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
difficult is it to portray all sides of this complex story? It is very | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
difficult indeed, but I don't think the media are actually addressing | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the subject of what these people are facing. It looks very much like a | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
scapegoat matter that these refugees are coming in and being blamed for | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
everything, and is not looking at the real story of why they are | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
fleeing in the first place. I think that needs to be addressed, because | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
at the moment people are blaming them for coming into the country, | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
they are going to take all these benefits, but behind the story they | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
are people and we need to see that more. Where they have come from and | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
why. Why they are coming here, because you need to be very | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
desperate to make the journey in a rickety boat. Of course, as we have | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
been hearing today, 39 people feared dead. Let's have a look at another | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
big issue, Google and its tax havens. The Observer has a lot about | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
Google, they have gone from ?130 million, which was a big number. | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
This is ?30 billion! It is a story that when the government were hoping | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
to open up the Sunday papers tomorrow morning, they were hoping | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
that they would not have to search and find the Google story. Both the | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Daily Mirror and the Observer lead on this. Bermuda sounds nice in | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
terms of the weather, and in terms of tax evasion. Essentially, this | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
story is about how Treasury ministers have told the European | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Commission that they are strongly opposed to sanctions against the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
move. The reason Bermuda is interesting is because approximately | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
3 billion worth of business sales in the UK go through there. Let's have | :08:14. | :08:29. | |
a look at the front of the Mirror. This is a new angle, isn't it? It is | :08:30. | :08:41. | |
alleged that Google has landed a lucrative deal to collect taxes, | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
which sounds quite ironic, and at the same time thousands of jobs have | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
been lost by the Revenue, whose job it is to collect tax. It seems | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
bizarre to me that you would get Google, lose so many staff, it just | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
doesn't make any sense. Aya more than happy get Google to collect my | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
taxes if I can pay 3% as well. We should say, by the way, there is any | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
number of columns that have said it is a disgrace. There are quite a few | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
journalists who have written columns saying that they paid 3.3 billion | :09:18. | :09:30. | |
dollars worth of taxes in various places, and... They have abided by | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the law. There is a moral component to this, but if the government | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
wanted Google to pay tax, they could legislate to make that happen, | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
albeit it might not be very effective. Maybe the only solution | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
is a global deal, because otherwise you get this arms race of every | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
country trying to lower its corporation tax, to try to attract | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
big business. At the moment, it is Google, LinkedIn and Facebook are | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
very happy in Ireland, paying tax on assets there. People like Lord | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Lawson saying maybe it is time to pay tax on sales rather than | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
profits. Maybe that is part of the solution. I don't get the feeling | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
that George Osborne is very fussed about changing the corporation tax | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
rates. If anything, I think he would like the lower. I think you would | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
like a change in the front pages. Let's have a look at the Sunday | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Times. A different angle with its front-page, and this is quite a | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
striking image and a striking quote. A young black man is more likely to | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
be in prison than at a university. Racism is a matter of | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
life, I have experienced it myself, and recently in Yorkshire was on a | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
train when I heard someone say to someone who was an immigrant, you | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
have taken over our country, and so on. In their defence, the people on | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
that train, the Yorkshire people, stood up this particular person. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
They said, not in our name. You might be speaking to yourself but we | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
are not racist and we won't deal with it. I think it is good that | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
David Cameron has raised this issue, and I think it will play well to | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
minorities, who largely support Labour. He has brought this issue to | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
the forefront, and is leading a review on the treatment of nonwhite | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
defendants in the criminal justice system. I'm glad that he has done | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
that and open to that debate going forward. You feel that David Cameron | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
needed this. In PMQs, a bunch of migrants, didn't go very well. The | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
Tories might have become a bit more of the nasty party of late. This is | :11:55. | :12:06. | |
where an element of the PM's humanhuman side. 1% of Oxford | :12:07. | :12:16. | |
admissions were minorities. That is 27 out of 2500 students. Here we | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
have Jamie Murray winning the doubles yesterday, Andy Murray kicks | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
off in a few hours time. I am feeling confident for him, go Andy, | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
I think he can do it. Five of his Australian Open finals he has lost, | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
three of them to Novak Djokovic. He has lost ten out of his last 11 | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
against Novak Djokovic, so... That is enough! Thank you both for your | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
company tonight. Coming up next, The Film Review. | :13:00. | :13:01. |
