05/03/2016 The Papers

Coming up next, we look at Mark Kermode's thumbs up or otherwise in

The Film Review. Hello and welcome to

our look ahead to what the papers With me are the journalist

and political analyst Mina Al-Oraibi and Laura Hughes,

political correspondent The Sunday Telegraph leads with

Boris Johnson attacking what he call's David Cameron's Agents

of Fear in the ongoing EU The Sunday Times has the same story

plus a warning from the Justice Secretary, Michael Gove that

the EU "fuels terror and Fascism". The Independent has an exclusive

on what it says is a cover-up of the treatment

of terror suspects in the UK. "NHS to harvest babies' organs" is

the rather alarming headline The Sunday Express says Britannia

will no longer rule the waves claiming the EU wants to

take charge of the UK coastguard as No surprise as Europe once again is

the dominant theme in the papers. This claim by Michael Gove as a

campaigner for leaving the EU, that the EU fuels terror and fascism, is

pretty striking. This is Michael Gove's first interview with the

newspaper, as it announces that we should be voting to leave the EU. It

says that on the one hand it is chilling terror because it is not

allowing Britain to make decisions about how its spies can act, et

cetera, particularly to do with the European Court of justice. He says

we need to not be under its thumb any more. This comes at the same

time as Boris Johnson is also speaking. He said, the power to take

decisions about counter-terrorist surveillance is being taken away

from the EU. In effect, the UK has kept quite a lot of its powers.

Opting out of some of the policing roles. Yes. Some of those who have

been detained on terrorist charges have used European courts to avoid

being deported. We did have one famous case, where a man was able to

delay being deported to the US. But there is no causality. Michael Gove

is just saying that the far right is stronger across the continent than

at any time since the 60s. That is true, and worrying, but it doesn't

explain how it England leads the EU it will suddenly some house swing

left. We had Liam Fox a couple of days ago saying that the EU hasn't

done a particularly good job in stopping the spread of extremism,

with people like Jean-Claude Juncker saying that it used to be the source

of peace on the continent. But this is quite a challenge to the position

of Theresa May, the Home Secretary. It is interesting as well in the

context of this project fear. These characters have been accusing the

government of scaring people, but so is this. This isn't just about

sovereignty, this is now about security. You will be safer if we

leave the EU. I would say this is also scaremongering, and Michael

Gove has contradicted Theresa May and is undermining his own

government. It raises an interesting question about what happens after

the referendum. Effectively, suggesting that a document put out

by the Home Office is a dodgy dossier, undermining those

supporting stain. Now we have restaurants and effectively

attacking David Cameron and people in Downing Street saying that they

were somehow responsible for John Longworth being suspended because he

had spoken out in favour of Brexit. I think there will be a reshuffle

after the referendum, but I think Michael Gove is also looking at the

possibility that Boris Johnson runs for the leadership, and he has put

all his eggs in that basket now. You think he has transferred his loyalty

from David Cameron, effectively? Yes. In this article says that Boris

Johnson is going to war with David Cameron. Threatening people's

safety, that is the number-1 responsibility of the government, so

to say that what they want to do is undermining safety is crossing a

line that is not often crossed. People who sit in David Cameron's

cabinet next Theresa May and David Cameron... A legacy of bitterness

out of this could be pretty powerful. Yes, are they putting

their eggs in the basket is about future leadership. This is also the

week that the dodgy dossier that Iain Duncan Smith said, and David

Cameron making a speech at Chatham House earlier saying that all

alternatives to the EU would be detrimental. It really has been

realigning of the Conservative Party. I mentioned John Longworth,

and that is on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph. Is this conspiracy

theory or is there something in this? A suggestion that Downing

Street might have led the chairman of the PCC to do this. -- BCC. David

Davis is calling from a full statement about the comments made or

the suspension. It will be interesting to see how they

respond. Are you surprised? IM. The fact that he gave the statement that

in thinking personally that it would be better for Britain to get out of

the EU, there are no personal views when you are the head of the British

Chamber of Commerce. It is said to be part of the conversation, how

people will decide to vote, but there has not been a denial that

conversations were had with Downing Street about this. Certain members

of the board may have certain ties with Downing Street, so they may

have had conversations. Whether that led directly to him being pushed

out,... In the end, the official position was that they are neutral,

and he has broken that. At their annual conference in front of all

these people. A lot of people were dumbfounded and angry about this.

This has slightly gone against what his own members actually. And

because they were divided, that is one of the reasons... Lets stay with

Europe, I feel we will be saying that a lot. That is not an

indication about what you should do in July, just staying with the

story. Scotland hasn't got a wave from the story! EU seeks control of

our coasts. Yes, this is the Sunday express telling us why the EU can be

very dangerous for Britain. It is not clear what the plans are, but

the story says the EU has drawn up plans to seize control of the

British coastguard service as it creates a Europewide border force.

The article explains that this is part of trying to keep Europe safe,

dealing with the migrant crisis and the issues of refugees and so forth.

But the article does say that the government would not be involved in

anything... This should not actually apply to you. Is this a draft, a

white paper? That is not clear. What is clear is that the Immigration

Minister has said that we will support the strengthening of the

borders, but Britain is not part of the Schengen agreement, and we will

not be part of this. So, we have Russian jets buzzing about in the

skies of Britain, and this wonderful image of Britannia on the inside of

the Express. Casually defending our borders. With a rather docile lion.

Looking to Britannia to rise up and project our stores growed up protect

our shores -- to rise up and protect our shores. This is a kind of

headline that would make me buy a paper in the morning. This is a good

grabbing headline. The story is basically that doctors will approach

mothers who have been told that their babies will not be able to

survive once they are born, and to encourage them to carry that child

so that the organs can be donated when the child is born. It is

highlighting a massive issue that we have in this country, our lack of

organ donors. 7000 people think the year on this list, three people

dying today because they can't get organs. It is described as

ghoulish... It is a difficult ethical... It is. Can you imagine

approaching a parent who has just had this news. It will be stillborn

or if not it may be severely disabled and won't live long, and

then saying, if you take it to full term at least the organs can be

used. I would suggest that the NHS may go towards encouraging that. It

is saying they will be given advice on going ahead, so ordinarily they

may be advised to abort the baby, but they are saying to go ahead so

we can use the organs. It is interesting, because they are saying

it could be a situation where the baby was all but dead, but they

could find a way to keep it alive in the mother's uterus, in order to use

the organs. Having said that, they say the numbers are striking. So far

only 11 babies under two months in the last two years have actually

been used for organ transplants. It illustrates what we are saying about

how striking this is that NHS blood and transplant has issued a

statement in the last few minutes, and it says it wants to reassure the

public we have no way of knowing about anybody who is pregnant with a

baby who won't survive. The only way we would find out about that is if

the parents approached us about wanting to donate. There is no way

that any of us would approach parents encouraging them to carry a

baby to full term purely to use the organs. Fellow Mac they have spoken

to one transplant surgeon, who says that they are looking at rolling it

out as a viable source. We are running out of time, but let me give

the last word to the story on the front of the Sunday Times. This is

the new guidance has been offered to schools. They are worried our young

people are using too many exclamation marks. They spend a lot

of time on Facebook, text in, so... They said they were worried that too

many are using it in text messages and social media. What

seven-year-old is sending text messages? There is an exclamation

mark in your voice! Thank you both very much, it was a pleasure to have

you with us. That is just about it, thank you for your company this

evening. We will have more news at the top of the hour. Now, The Film

Review.
