football as well as rugby league and cricket and the massive boxing | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
bout. That's all coming up after The Papers. | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
With me are Martin Lipton, the Deputy Head of Sport at The Sun, | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
and the writer and broadcaster Louise Scodie. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The Times says Boris Johnson has backed away | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
from the suggestion that a vote to leave the EU would force Brussels to | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
The Telegraph says the mayor has appealed to Cabinet ministers | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
backing the campaign to stay in the European Union to "think again". | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The Independent focuses on George Osborne's warning, made to | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the BBC, that he may have to impose deeper cuts in public spending. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
the Guardian leads on allegations of abuse and bullying at a G4S-run | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
The FT focuses on the latest losses at RBS. | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
The Mail reports on a new biography of Tony Blair and his government's | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
And the Express says leading European | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
politicians fear the migrant crisis in Europe could destroy the EU. | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
Starting with George Osborne, who is on a trip to China at the moment to | :01:24. | :01:35. | |
meet G20 ministers. The Independent has taken its headline from | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
something he said today. George Osborne proposes new cuts as the | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
economic gloom deepens. Several reasons for this, he thinks. He has | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
explained what they are but it will really make people's hearts sink. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Certainly maybe the Independent's hearts sink. George Osborne | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
described as taking a fateful decision. Posterity hasn't been | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
hugely popular and I don't think that's going to change, if anything | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
it'll get worse over the coming months. -- posterity. The | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
interesting thing here is when the Independent right that the steep | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
reductions in public spending had reopened the Chancellor to the | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
charge that he is slashing back the statewide chill -- for ideological | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
reasons. Is that something more widely bandied about? That something | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
the papers have talked about. Stephen Golding has tweeted and | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
says, what about the recent surplus? Now you are prepping us for more | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
unnecessary austerity. I am trying to work out who is to blame. Now | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
cuts are the fault of the global economy, as opposed to the | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
government. Surely it was the global economy last time as well. A lot of | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
people were willing to accept cuts over a short period, especially then | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
feel they were in fact it upon them. I'm not sure this will be an easy | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
sell for any government and this is increasingly difficult for Osborne | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
to talk about the necessity of these things when it doesn't look as | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
though we are all in it together. That certain people are allowed... | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
When you've got huge companies paying zero tax, why should other | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
people suffer? These sort of issues will get a go. The global economy | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
impacted on the personal economy. It does become a question people will | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
be looking for answers to. Surely he will say that he has made a start | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
with the likes of Google. Not compared to France. France have | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
demanded the huge sum. There is a genuine feeling about we were | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
willing to accept things to a point, but perhaps that point has | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
been reached. It will be a difficult issue for George Osborne to answer. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
I think there were people who were worried about the effects it was | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
having on the more vulnerable members of society, for example. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
There's a lot more empathy around. People vote with their own pocket | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
books. Not necessarily. Certainly anecdotal output from people from | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
the start is that they've been very worried about people they may not | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
even know that well, but they know will be affected by the austerity | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
measures. Staying with the Independent. They can't believe it's | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
not Sepp Blatter. Fifa pics a new head for football's family. Another | :05:09. | :05:25. | |
Swiss man... -- picks. It is certainly mostly masculine. We | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
shouldn't be surprised by that. It is a male sport in the main. The | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Football Association has just appointed a head of communications, | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
who is a woman, and she will do an excellent job for the FA. But I | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
think there are only two voters today after the two 270 voted that | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
are women. Two members of the executive committee have been women | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
in its history. We've now got this new head of Fifa and his job is to | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
be more transparent and accountable and stop the corruption. Indeed. I'm | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
not the biggest football fan in the world, under -- understatement, but | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
I think international organisations should be transparent and Fifa have | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
let a lot of people down. They've let the fans down and let's hope | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
this new leadership will turn things around. Do the fans feel let down? | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Or are they more worried about their own individual clubs? Fifa organises | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
the World Cup, as far as most fans are concerned. That's been an | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
absolute mess! But the tournament is still a success. The voting is a | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
scandal, as they said before. We are happy to listen. What we have is an | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
organisation that is endemically flawed. It has, over the last 40 | :06:53. | :07:08. | |
years, since 1974 when -- 1974, when it became a corrupt institution. How | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
likely is it that we will scrap it? This is the last chance for Fifa to | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
be able to reform itself. Who says, we can't have you doing this any | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
more so with the wind you up? I think potentially if class actions | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
from various organisations such as US authorities... This is where it | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
started. The American investigation into backsliding and deals... Last | :07:34. | :07:51. | |
May, the whole process began and it was inevitable someone else would | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
come in from that moment. It has taken nine months to get here. The | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
question for Fifa and football is whether it will be any better under | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
the new regime, given that Gianni Infantino only stood because his | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
boss was forced to resign because of the ?1.3 million payment. But he is | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
a standout candidate and could do well and speaks 11 languages. Time | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
will tell. Boris Johnson in Europe U-turn. He changes his mind and says | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
the art vote will be final. No means no. Yes, as opposed to the other day | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
when he said no means yes, we can change our minds, who knows? He has | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
had to publicly backtrack, which has made me feel delighted. The Brexit | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
story will go on until June 23. We have got months of this. I would | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
suggest that some of the coverage will be a little dry. Anything we | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
got that will embarrass the odd politician in the months to come is | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
very welcome. It is amazing how much sway Boris has over the debate. It | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
is also amazing how complicated it is for those arguing one way or | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
another. There are many things they just don't know. How difficult would | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
it be if we were to leave? If we were to vote to leave, and I would | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
be surprised at the stature if we do, but who knows, the costs of it, | :09:16. | :09:26. | |
the two years, could be pretty painful. The EU won't make it easy | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
for us. To encourage others not to go down that path, they will make it | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
as hard as they can. As let's be honest the British government would | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
have done if the Scots had voted for independence. But there are some big | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
names -the Brexit campaign who have got months to make the argument. -- | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
behind the Brexit. Yes, no one is hitting us the facts just as they | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
are. Because there are no facts. There's opinion. Do the British | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
people want to remain part of an EU which some of them have doubts over | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
but might cling to like a comfort blanket, or can we go our own way, | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
when in the 40 odd years since we joined many of the markets, which we | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
had then, are no longer markets. Our main markets are now within Europe | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
and are we better being part of the huge trading bloc? Boris Johnson | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
says he would negotiate trade deals with other parts of the world. The | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
FT. Brussels flipped the switch to stop tea loving Brits from boiling | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
over. The idea that we wouldn't be allowed powerful toasters and | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
kettles, and powerful vacuum cleaners. For environmental reasons. | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
If there's one thing we British don't want it is an affront to up | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
tea and toast habit. We have an MP blaming Brussels for his four | :11:03. | :11:14. | |
attempts at his tea and toast ratio. I would like my tea and toast | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
protected. It almost sounds like a television show. Maybe they are just | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
giving us a bit of a break, they are trying to be nice to us. Also, | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
congratulations to both the forgetting that fantastic quote! The | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
quick look at The Daily Mail. -- to Buzzfeed. This is a new biography. | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
It is by the man who has put together a number of scathing | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
biographies of significant figures, including Gordon Brown and Simon | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
Cowell, more important these days! Looking at the clips, this thing | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
being tied to Tony Blair... In the book it is tied to a former | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
immigration official. He says he told Barbara Roach, the then | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Immigration Minister. It isn't directly linked to Tony Blair's | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
decisions. Nevertheless, we know there was a view that in the new | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
Labour government they could make a point and try to be a more welcoming | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
and inviting country. They also said they haven't got an idea of what | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
immigration figures were at point and they apologised. Ed Miliband | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
seems to apologise for it quite a lot. It all seems a bit spurious. I | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
can't believe this has made it onto the front page. I like the wait has | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
been described, like it is the plot of a thriller. Tony Blair presiding | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
over a silent conspiracy to change the face of Britain forever. The | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
main aim was to make the country see the benefit of a multicultural | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
society. It seems highly unlikely and not a very good strategy and | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
certainly one that will backfire on the Daily Mail and its readers. They | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
are offering a chance to win one of Margaret Thatcher's iconic handbags! | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Hold me back! Dozens of children with decayed teeth. This was a story | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
we looked at the time ago, we are still waiting for this obesity study | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
to be published as well. The second part of this story is that the | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
publication of the childhood obesity strategy has been put on hold. Any | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
parent with young kids will be concerned about the question of how | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
their children are, what their help is. We've also had this ongoing | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
thing about sugar and diets and the amount of soft drinks and how they | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
are having negative effect on mental health. There's a general concern | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
about the way are growing up. Also keep. We -- also teeth. So many | :14:17. | :14:29. | |
children have to have them pulled out. We are talking about children | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
aged five to nine. It must be absolutely terrible. There have been | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
a number of educational Alicia Keys from the government to try to get | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
families to think about eating healthier. -- educational | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
initiatives. We have the teeth issue and that compounded by the obesity | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
issue. They all link into each other. What is it that's missing? I | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
can't answer that question and I wouldn't there try. Vow of silence. | :15:04. | :15:15. | |
ENO, the choir won't sing in a dispute over pay. What is the | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
proposal? Basically they might have their contracts cut down to nine | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
months which mean they would lose a quarter of their salaries. They | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
earned just over 30 grand each and said they wouldn't be able to live | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
in London where they have to live or work if there is salaries are | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
reduced. Performers spent years and thousands and thousands of pounds | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
training to become a performer and often get paid absolutely nothing. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
They will never make the money they earn back. I understand why they are | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
feeling unhappy. The idea is that they refused to sing? They will | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
refuse to sing all sing the wrong songs. When I was so bad, it was | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
banned. It wasn't because I couldn't sing! That teacher, who banned me, | :16:03. | :16:12. | |
shame on you! It will be a sell out now. There no publicity like bad | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
publicity. People will want to see the show to see what comedy costumes | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
the artists will wear. Maybe they will be dressed as chickens when | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
they aren't singing! Who knows? It's a way to drum up a bit more trade. | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
Lovely to see you. Thanks very much. Coming up next, Sportsday. | :16:36. | :16:41. |
