50 minutes. Hello and welcome to | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
our look ahead to what the papers With me are Beth Rigby, the | :00:11. | :00:17. | |

our top story tonight, the new strike action announced | :00:26. | :00:30. | |

meat sold in restaurants and supermarkets | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
is from animals raised on GM feed. Starting with the Times. Nation | :01:18. | :01:31. | |
divided. As regards the EU referendum, voters split over the | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Brexit in the first poll since David Cameron came back with that deal | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
last week. It is going to be tight. But we always knew that, didn't we? | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
We knew the nation was divided. The first couple of days we've been | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
concentrating on the Conservative Party for obvious reasons. One good | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
thing I suppose, all on budget of people who have benefited from the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
start of the campaign, is the polling industry. They suffered | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
after the general election after getting it so badly wrong. Of course | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
they might still get it wrong! This one in the Times has more or less | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
the same number of people saying they want to remain or leave. But it | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
is only one poll. There is also an internet poll and has already been | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
an analysis of the differences between the results you get, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
depending on how you conduct the poll. Telephone polls seem to find | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
more people saying we should stay in the EU, so I think we do have to be | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
extremely cautious of these. Not much detail has been put forward | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
about why people have come to the conclusions they have. If you look | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
at the opinion polls that have been carried out in other countries, | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
after they had similar referendums, huge fluctuations. The poles up | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
until this one it seems house by and large suggested that the income has | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
been ahead. It has tightened, it would seem. Both sides are going to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
be trying to get out their message in the next four months, in whatever | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
way will be successful. It could mean using the personalities of | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
someone like Boris Johnson, or whatever. Are we going to see the | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
fax, the issues, SAP seen by all of that? What's interesting, when you | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
look back to the Scottish referendum, everyone was complacent, | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
thinking Scotland would vote to stay in the EU. There was that polling | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
the Sunday Times and suddenly the polls had narrowed to a few points. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
And then that mad rush from David Cameron. Cameron started rushing up | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
to Scotland, business started coming out to talk about the threat of | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
Scotland leaving the union and the dangers the Scottish consumers et | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
cetera. What we see now is that regardless of what happens to the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
polls, both sides are going to fight this to the death. They are starting | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
early and they are going to... We will have this campaign every day | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
for four months until June 23. I have been involved in a few | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
campaigns in my time but your worst position is complacency. If the | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
polls show you are ahead, the danger is supporters get complacent and | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
stone turnout. With the In campaign, which I support, they are ahead and | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
it is in their interest to appear close. The Daily Telegraph. We are | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
safer in Europe. The security element is being trotted out here. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
We are safer if we stay in Europe, apparently. This is going back to | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
the point about having an orchestrated campaign. The | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
government this morning... There was a letter from the FTSE to stay in | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
Europe today. The Telegraph have -- has a letter saying they believe it | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
is in the national interest to remain an EU member. The Out | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
campaign will say that this is another example of Project Fiona, | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
that actually our security interests are best represented within Nato, | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
not within the European Union. And what the generals are doing probably | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
pushed or encouraged by the government is to put fear into the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
public that we will be less secure if we leave the EU. But the fact is, | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
if you have a bunch of people who want to run your Armed Forces that | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
is quite a potent message, regardless of whether it is put in | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
fact or not. I think it is fair to say that the remain campaign had the | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
best of the media in the first few days of the referendum. Boris made a | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
splash with his announcement, that was quickly undermined, the reasons | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
why he was doing it, whether it was out of personal ad mission. David | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Cameron on strong form yesterday. -- admission. We have the economic | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
argument made by the FTSE 100 companies. Now what we have the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
defence argument. I think Downing Street is determined that no -- the | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
campaign should not be built up. It will be a long campaign. They can't | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
sustain this all the way through. They are getting in pretty heavy | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
blows early on. But there could be statistics and facts that are out of | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
their control. Look at the Daily Telegraph. Migrant influx tops | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
100,006 weeks. At the kind of headline that could make people | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
think we need to control our borders, in their opinion. This just | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
shows that the ripple effect... The cerium or -- the cerium crisis's | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
effect. 110,000 migrants have travelled to the EU in the past six | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
weeks, compared with 7500 in the same period last year. But there's | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
nothing the EU can do about the in Syria. Our decision as to whether or | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
not to stay in the EU could hinge on this. But this story, vis-a-vis | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
Britain's membership of the EU, is a red herring. This is actually... The | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
argument about whether we stay in or out of Europe is all about the free | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
movement of people across the European single market. What this is | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
is a refugee crisis stemmed by a wall, created by a wall, and the | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
fact that 110,000 people arrive on the shores of Europe doesn't | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
translate to a massive spike in migration into the UK because these | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
people can't get access into the UK, apart from in a refugee | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
programme. David Cameron has been quite tardy in the numbers of people | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
he would take, 20,000 against 1 million for Germany. It is a red | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
herring, you are right, in policy terms. At in terms of the impact on | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
the referendum campaign it's a serious issue. -- but in terms. The | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
question of migrants is so potent for 70 people in this country. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
People fear crime. -- for so many people. The fact that statistics | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
tell a different story doesn't matter. It seems people fear the | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
influx of immigrants, even if the fax say differently. Which is why | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
David Cameron is having this referendum in June, ahead of the | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
summer months when you will see a massive spike. The whole point of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the winter is people don't make the journey because it is so | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
treacherous. More than 400 people, including many children, have | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
already drowned this year making the journey or trying to make the | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
crossing. Guardian. Junior doctors declare fresh waves of strikes. They | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
will be long enough, 48 hours, this is getting very nasty. Yes, the | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
stakes are very high and clearly Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
is hoping that the story will go away. -- Health Secretary. They will | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
realise it wasn't so bad after all and they will go along with it, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
whether they like it or not. It seems from the position of the | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
junior doctors that they are ready to go in for the long haul. But the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
last thing the government wants, because they will have a strategy -- | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
won't have a strategy, beyond hoping for the best, that junior doctors | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
like in other industries will eventually lose the will to carry on | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
the fight. At the moment they seem to have the will to go all the way. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
We had one junior doctors saying she was ready to go on and on in this | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
dispute. What do you think this means for Jeremy Hunt? This story | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
reminds me of what happened with Michael Gove. In the end, in the | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
run-up to the election, he had such bad relations with the teaching | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
community that effectively he was moved out of that department, | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
because Lynton Crosby, the then Tory election chief, took the view that | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
he was so toxic that it would affect their prospects at the polls. What | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
would happen here is that Jeremy Hunt will be moved on from the | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
department of health in the reshuffle that will happen. I think | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
he will see this through, they will hope it will change when the | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
contract kicks in and then he will move on. Because I think the medical | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
community... Unless the judicial review decides the government can't | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
impose a contract. Last attempt by President Obama. He hasn't been able | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
to shut Guantanamo Bay. He probably won't still be able to do it is | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
having a go and is really going for it. He has this visit to Cuba. Lots | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
of controversial things. People who hate President Obama will hate him | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
even more for attending to do all of this. Of course we know campaigning | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
is going on to replace President Obama. We haven't seen any reaction | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
yet from Donald Trump. You can see him turning around and saying the | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
bill will be four times as big. It is a very inflammatory issue. The | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
problem with President Obama is he doesn't have control over the | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
Congress. It isn't good for his legacy, I suppose, that he said he | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
would shut it and hasn't been able to. In the 2008 presidential | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
election he described it as a sad chapter for American history and | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
pledged to do something about it. He also pledged to do something about | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
gun laws. There have been many things he wanted to do and the | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
reality of when you actually get into the White House and you are | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
gridlocked by your Congress it isn't possible. But he is really going for | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
it in his final months. Even if he can't affect the change, he is | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
putting these things back on the table, which is something. Yes. On | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
the The Daily Mail. Most meat sold in restaurants and supermarkets is | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
from animals raised on GM food. Basically there's been a whole | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
debate about genetically modified crops in the UK. It is massive in | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
the US. In the UK we have been very reluctant to have GM crops and we | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
really only have GM crops for research centres. But obviously need | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
imported is being fed on grain and maize that is GM. So it turns out | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
that even though we have stringent rules in the UK about not having GM | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
products on our food chain, the scale of the imported food means | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
that we have loads of GM in our food chain, which tells you about the | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
globalisation of food. Are people going to be bothered about this, do | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
you think? The evidence suggests that they are not and that they tend | :14:10. | :14:20. | |
to get not very excited about it. I think there's been a lot of hype | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
about GM. It might be that after a while people think they have been | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
consuming GM in one form or another for quite a long time, we haven't | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
all fallen sick, and we will get used to the idea that actually GM is | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
not the Frankenstein thing that some people try to suggest it is. It said | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
here that big supermarkets said customers could avoid GM exposure if | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
they bought organic food, because even UK bred animals might be fed | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
food from overseas. But the thing is organic food is really expensive for | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
so many people. So there are always trade-offs to these arguments. | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
Finally, we have about one minute left, which chief is paid ?819,000 | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
for one year? This is your story in the Times. Yes. It is ironic. The | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
chief exec of the consumer Champion has been paid such a big salary. He | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
is probably the highest paid executive of a charity in the UK. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
The reason he has been paid such a big amount is that he had a full | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
term incentive plan that paid out this fee and he was paid ?500,000 as | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
a bonus. But the fact is... It will still be a surprise to a lot of | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
people. Someone tweeted to me when I put this story out, she said, Which? | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
should have a report into charities... they should investigate | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
themselves. think they want to get the story out and be done with it. | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
there's a new chairman in now and i don't think these sorts of paid -- | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
pay packets will be repeated, but it is damaging to the brand. exactly. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
we will have to end of there. it was the best story. let's not mention | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
that. dodgy editors of the times newspaper! you will get her into | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
trouble. thank you so much for looking at the stories. stay with | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
us. much more coming up on bbc news. now it's time for sportsday. | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
