14/03/2016 The Papers

how Rafa Benitez got on at his first match in charge of Newcastle United

ordered less to extend their lead at the top of the table? That it's all

in 15 minutes after the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be With me are Julia Hartley-Brewer

columnist for The Daily Telegraph and Lance Price,

political commentator. The Guardian looks at how young

families are struggling to afford rent - and contrasts their plight

with the property portfolio owned The Telegraph claims supporters

of Britain leaving the EU are more likely to vote

in the forthcoming referendum. The Mirror reports on the teenager

accused of deliberately running over and killing a police officer

on Merseyside last year. The Metro focuses on President

Putin's decision to begin the withdrawal of his

forces from Syria. The Mail says big firms

are slashing overtime, cutting recruitment

and axing staff perks to pay And the Express warns us not

to complain that we're So I have 50 years to go... Let's

start with Russia apparently pulling out of Syria. I spoke to Moscow

correspondent as Middle East editor, nobody had any idea this was coming.

Nobody knew who was going into Syria either. He is basically saying his

work here is done, remember when President Bush said that? The

difference is he probably has a compass to his mission, they made

more no secret, their aim was to prop up the dictator that is

President Assad and they have. It is likely he would have possibly

followed if it wasn't for Putin. The interesting thing is that when

America doesn't act and leaves a vacuum like that we are seen that

the Russian school in -- the Russians are going in. If the choice

think the West should be involved. think the West should be involved.

It has been a win-win for Putin, he has put Russia back on the stage as

a player and everyone is talking about him. He has to be dealt with

in terms of the future of this country. He has shored up Assad and

Russia's presence in the Middle East. It shows what a canny operator

here is, think back a few months to last year, he was a pariah on the

world stage because of his policies in Ukraine, nobody wanted to speak

to him and now he's got himself into a position where he is a kingpin of

the talks resuming in Geneva. It also shows how much authority has it

that he has in his own country, it came as a surprise. We decide

whether to marginally increased our activity we agonise over it for

weeks, he just announces it and the next day they start withdrawing. And

the willingness to accept casualties and the fact, David Cameron does

have a prerogative, he could have gone to war without the vote and

choose to have it. Putin has absolute power. And part of that,

the lot of that, when there are casualties the figures are

suppressed and the Russian public have little idea what is going on on

the ground. It is about this army, the Russian bear, it is also about a

vital Russian security needs, having this warm weather port. Syria is a

vital ally strategically. He was not going to let Assad go. Having said

all that Russia still has an air base and military base in Syria, so

he can pop back in when he feels like it. On the Telegraph, Brexit

campaign has the edge. We think we know where the Telegraph is, it

wants to get out. Is this an accurate headline? Yet another

opinion poll and we know we should be wary. Not just a poll, is

analysis of the results and whether how strongly people feel about

whether they want to stay in or leave. They have certainly did

Crosby, the guy who really helped David Cameron get himself re-elected

as Prime Minister writing to the Telegraph was part of his analysis

that people like Julia who think we should leave the EU are more

passionate in their views than people like me who think we should

stay in. There might be something to that and therefore more likely to

vote. Two parts are maybe they are, there are many pro-Europeans three

everything in. I shall think they are among politicians but amongst

ordinary voters it is much easier to be passionate about wanting Britain

to be independent and leaving the EU and lots of the people who will vote

for Remain, even David Cameron is not a passionate supporter of the EU

and he is leading the campaign. And the age factor, lots of the people

voting to Leave are amongst the older generation and artificially

once you turn out to vote and younger people who might be more

pro-European... That is what the poll suggests and as you pointed

out, Julia is on the side of leaving, is that you're reading? I

am not old! -Ish. You've got to be 85! Exactly. Is that you're reading

of the situation as far as the people working in the Brexit

campaign, they believe we have the edge? I think there is optimism in

the Brexit campaign and a feeling the project were being put out, the

idea that all the luck that lots of their weapons have already been

fired, what do they have left? The audit have their big guns, you

cannot keep making the same claim, it is a long time until the 23rd of

June. Most ASBO people calling it right now, would expect us to have a

Remain vote. Things have to change but it comes down to older voters

and younger voters and even though if older people vote and young

people don't and it would help my campaign, I have to say I really

want people to vote. It is so vital that everyone votes and uses their

democratic right to do so. I would say this but I think the Remain

campaign. No! I am pro-European, you are pro-EU, it is different! I want

to remain a member of the EU and I think the Remain campaign have the

best accurate and the Brexit site have their divisions and splits at

all that mess. But there is a real risk for the Remain group of

complacency thinking we are doing fine, we have the big guns and they

are in a mess on the other side and that is the worst thing anyone will

tell you in any kind of campaign, complacency is your worst enemy. And

people who support Brexit there bonkers and xenophobes, I don't

think I'm any of those things. However,... You are just wrong.

Apart from being right. There is a fear there is lots of people out

there who do agree with people like me and want an independent Britain

but are too afraid to say anything because people will treat them like

they are racist or xenophobic. This horrific attack given to anyone who

exposes the view that Britain should be a Democratic countable country.

OK. The Telegraph. Osborne fuelled -- fuel duty warning. Before any

budget there is this speculation, will that go up or down, often

around fuel duty. Every budget! They seem to raise the spectrum of

fugitive going up and when it doesn't there is a great relief.

Always the expectation management this time around the possibility of

fugitive going up is fairly high because we have had a falling fuel

prices anyway that actually in terms of people's pockets it would not be

as painful. There was talk of one of Drupal said, I hate this game, the

Sharapova head of the budget. We are all drawn into it. The time was when

there was murder, as there is one rabbit to fall from the hat and we

have most of it in advance. Now the Queen, the express. This is a story

about the Queen and her anger at Nick Clegg's lecture on the EU. The

Queen feeling her old age. The story is really about Michael Gove and

calls on page five to sack Michael Gove because he is the person

pointed out as the man who apparently revealed the Queen was a

Eurosceptic. Not necessarily supporting Brexit but fairly

Eurosceptic and he is the man getting the blame because you are

not allowed to say but the Queen has set in Privy Council. The reality is

that all opticians gossip and half of their memoirs are full of things

the Queen said to them so we should stop this pomposity. Is there an

exhaust reels at the headline has to match the story quiz-macro- think it

is that stretch because if it was then half the papers would be in

trouble. Summers -- the sun seemed to be remarkably confident.

Privileges of the conversations from journalists involved, the sources

are kosher. You have to read the story for you realise that the

Queen, she only did shut Nick Clegg up because he was drawing on about

Europe. That is what The People who want to stay in the EU do, they

drawn on! And the Brexit -- the Brexits never do. We will be back in

an hour. Many thanks. Stay here, more coming up, now, Sportsday.
