Hello and welcome to our look at the papers.

:00:15.:00:17.

With me are the columnist and journalist, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

:00:18.:00:19.

and the political commentator, Vincent Moss.

:00:20.:00:20.

Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in...

:00:21.:00:30.

Let's have a quick look at some of the front pages now.

:00:31.:00:33.

The Sunday Times leads on a call from the former

:00:34.:00:36.

Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair to crush ISIS or be faced with

:00:37.:00:39.

a terrorist act in Britain worse than Paris or Brussels.

:00:40.:00:44.

He calls on the West to equip Arab ground forces.

:00:45.:00:47.

The Mail on Sunday says convicted terrorists are being paid

:00:48.:00:49.

It criticises the government's commitment to spending 0.7%

:00:50.:00:54.

The Telegraph quotes one of America's top generals,

:00:55.:00:59.

David Petraeus, as saying he thinks a Brexit would weaken the West

:01:00.:01:03.

The Sunday Express says that after the terror attacks in Europe

:01:04.:01:08.

It reports that SAS squads are ready to fly in and protect any town

:01:09.:01:20.

The Star on Sunday leads with "Got Him".

:01:21.:01:22.

It says Belgian police have arrested the third Brussels airport bomber,

:01:23.:01:25.

whom it names as Faycal Cheffou, and charged him with murder.

:01:26.:01:28.

The Observer leads with a warning from the

:01:29.:01:30.

He says if Britain votes to leave the European Union then the NHS

:01:31.:01:47.

would face budget cuts, falling standards and an exodus

:01:48.:01:50.

And England's winning footballers, celebrating their 3-2 win tonight

:01:51.:01:53.

over Germany are the cover stars of the online Independent on Sunday.

:01:54.:01:57.

We're going to start with the Observer and a very different look

:01:58.:02:05.

at the Brexit argument. This time with a warning from Jeremy Hunt. Yet

:02:06.:02:11.

he is linking it to the economy, which many people have done. Those

:02:12.:02:16.

who want to remain in the EU keep pointing out that the British

:02:17.:02:27.

economy is deeply tied to the new project and it would go through a

:02:28.:02:33.

terrible crisis if we left because all the deals and the treaties would

:02:34.:02:41.

take years to renegotiate. He has linked that economic uncertainty and

:02:42.:02:49.

pessimism with what's then was the National Health Service. And you are

:02:50.:02:51.

getting the feeling that there is a table of announcements and this week

:02:52.:02:56.

it was Jeremy Hunt's time. I think so. Every department will be putting

:02:57.:03:01.

out their warnings and I think it is Easter weekend, and this time is

:03:02.:03:07.

Jeremy Hunt's turned. What other things he is pointed out apart from

:03:08.:03:12.

the economic issue is a thing about my Visa, what if you're working for

:03:13.:03:19.

the NHS. I think there is 100,000 skilled workers. Mortaza means that

:03:20.:03:25.

they're working and living Visa. It is creating uncertainty about who we

:03:26.:03:28.

really want to leave and hoping that is what people think. Because that

:03:29.:03:33.

might affect your job. If you're one of the 100,000 people, you may be

:03:34.:03:37.

influenced his argument. And is all about the undecided one here. Yes,

:03:38.:03:42.

but they are not being well served at the moment and they need much

:03:43.:03:51.

clearer explanations from all sides. Staying with the Brexit, but moving

:03:52.:03:58.

on to the Telegraph, and this is saying that the US General is saying

:03:59.:04:02.

that a Brexit will raise the terrorist threat. How does that

:04:03.:04:11.

work, Vincent? He is raising this Winston Churchill tone that if you

:04:12.:04:13.

don't like your allies, you should stick together because that is the

:04:14.:04:19.

only way you can get things done. You need to work together and he

:04:20.:04:23.

says that there is the one thing worse than fighting with allies, and

:04:24.:04:26.

that is fighting without them. You can be a strategic dead-end and it

:04:27.:04:31.

will be calamitous for the entire world. That is counter to what to

:04:32.:04:36.

the former MI6 was saying that Brexit could be a good thing and

:04:37.:04:41.

this is very much an ardent the most senior Americans seem to be saying

:04:42.:04:46.

that they probably like the idea of the EU and they would rather that

:04:47.:04:53.

Britain did not leave. The Churchill thing is three important because

:04:54.:04:57.

people think that Churchill was this narrowminded nationalist who

:04:58.:05:03.

single-handedly with Britain and America fought the war. Actually he

:05:04.:05:08.

was for the Human Rights Act, he was for broader alliances with European

:05:09.:05:14.

nations and he was not an isolationist. People don't know that

:05:15.:05:23.

enough about Winston Churchill. With that story due by the argument that

:05:24.:05:28.

it written leaves Europe then there won't be the level of cooperation

:05:29.:05:31.

between anti- terror organisations that they currently use? -- then

:05:32.:05:47.

there currently is? It is clearly been a problem with the lack of

:05:48.:05:52.

sharing. But there is no doubt that they do a good sharing relations

:05:53.:05:56.

with the Americans, some would say too much, but we need to say it is a

:05:57.:06:00.

rather fluid terrorist organisation and you can only do that through

:06:01.:06:07.

international corporation. -- cooperation. It would be a potential

:06:08.:06:13.

breakup and that jeopardises that level of cooperation. Staying with

:06:14.:06:20.

Brexit, but we moved to the Sunday Times, and looks back to the list of

:06:21.:06:23.

250 is as leaders who are backing the campaign on Saturday to leave

:06:24.:06:31.

the European Union. There are claims in the Times that that is beginning

:06:32.:06:35.

to unravel. This is interesting because many of the papers on the

:06:36.:06:40.

right to give me the sense that they are for Brexit are to running

:06:41.:06:48.

stories which they might not have expected. So this list that was put

:06:49.:06:56.

up, business leaders who think that Britain will be better with leaving

:06:57.:07:05.

the European Union. Some are saying that I didn't know my name would be

:07:06.:07:09.

on the list, they did not check with me. And is always very dangerous to

:07:10.:07:13.

put up lists of whichever side because there is always going to be

:07:14.:07:18.

some annoying person who does not want to be part of a campaign

:07:19.:07:23.

group. By staying in has had a problem in the past and has

:07:24.:07:27.

mentioned that people have said that I did not lend by name to that

:07:28.:07:35.

campaign. I'm not sure how much it influences people to vote. I don't

:07:36.:07:40.

know of another field if people said they were in or out of wood

:07:41.:07:45.

influence the vote. If Wayne Rooney says he is in and out that influence

:07:46.:07:51.

football fans? Would that influence people? I don't know. If you work

:07:52.:07:57.

for a company where the bosses I think this, would that affect? I

:07:58.:08:03.

wonder. But is a very interesting point and that is how much it be

:08:04.:08:04.

influenced by your boss to. point and that is how much it be

:08:05.:08:11.

influenced by your boss -- boss. There is an important thing when

:08:12.:08:20.

there are global businesses, what they want is a movement. There won't

:08:21.:08:25.

be able to get the talent from where ever they can and that is a big fear

:08:26.:08:36.

within the businesses that the anti immigration fever is going to affect

:08:37.:08:43.

their growth and their ability to move their people around. And that

:08:44.:08:50.

is a real threat. I don't think that is something that is a match in. I

:08:51.:08:54.

do believe that papers will have far less invalid to Mr Bateman they do.

:08:55.:09:00.

As we expect them to come out on a pro- Brexit argument, I don't think

:09:01.:09:02.

that will have the influence that they had ten or 15 years ago.

:09:03.:09:06.

Because they can get their media from semi- other sources so will

:09:07.:09:10.

play far less important than many proprietors think it will do.

:09:11.:09:15.

Interestingly, one of the two, and the paper highlights two of the 253

:09:16.:09:20.

they should not be on the list. One is the code billionaire founder who

:09:21.:09:26.

said he was surprised to be on the list but he had previously supported

:09:27.:09:34.

Brexit. So I wonder what is going on with that? People don't like their

:09:35.:09:38.

names being used without their permission. And to consider someone

:09:39.:09:42.

has gone and done that with people who were previously expressed an

:09:43.:09:45.

opinion, he would not have changed his mind, and people like to move

:09:46.:09:52.

around as we know. Onto The Mall, and let us change the story

:09:53.:09:56.

completely because the male has an exclusive saying Petronella is

:09:57.:10:05.

breaking her silence on the relationship with Boris Johnson. I

:10:06.:10:14.

don't think there are a lot of surprises. I think this will just

:10:15.:10:21.

sell more papers, frankly. It is a titillating an interesting story and

:10:22.:10:25.

maybe people are fed up with the terrorism, the fear that has

:10:26.:10:30.

obviously been going on for a few days. And getting a politicians

:10:31.:10:40.

private life is always fun. But the angling and the timing of this

:10:41.:10:43.

against Boris Johnson is quite interesting. Quite right. George

:10:44.:10:49.

Osborne had a very bad week with his white Djite and he seems like the

:10:50.:10:53.

only people who could become the Tory leader if it was not to be

:10:54.:10:58.

George Osborne so he's getting a bit of scrutiny and a very interesting

:10:59.:11:03.

piece in the Times who refer to him as dishonest and reckless. It is a

:11:04.:11:12.

much more typical Sunday morning tabloid read with Petronella talking

:11:13.:11:15.

about a man who needed to be love and who are decidedly Eastern views

:11:16.:11:23.

on monogamy. I do object to this. I think we have to move on. Tony

:11:24.:11:31.

Blair, of course former Prime Minister saying that we should crush

:11:32.:11:36.

Islamic State or the horror will intensify. Well he hasn't succeeded

:11:37.:11:42.

in crushing many of the previous terrorist networks. I think he has a

:11:43.:11:47.

very simple view of the world sometimes, Tony Blair. He is someone

:11:48.:11:53.

that I want to say in some ways that he did such good for the this

:11:54.:11:57.

country and I wish it wasn't so obsessed with his bad record in Iraq

:11:58.:12:02.

and wanting to go in. There is a madness that he wants to go in and

:12:03.:12:10.

create more walls. But we have seen what has happened, with Iraq and

:12:11.:12:17.

Libya, and the whole infection has spread. Mr Blair needs to sit down

:12:18.:12:24.

and think very carefully about why he is so obsessed with guns. We've

:12:25.:12:30.

not got very long left but he talks about Arab ground forces, but I

:12:31.:12:35.

can't see what they are. I don't think there is much meat behind the

:12:36.:12:40.

headline but he talks about you can't contain ISIS and we know that

:12:41.:12:48.

already. There needs to be some cooperation with the nations in the

:12:49.:12:50.

region to do something about it. But there is no detail about how he sees

:12:51.:12:59.

that being done. There's not much light in what needs to be done. Is a

:13:00.:13:15.

it is a -- it is a guerrilla movement. One should never listen to

:13:16.:13:24.

Tony Blair on this. Ever. We should leave it because we're just run out

:13:25.:13:28.

of time on that point. Thank you very much for joining us today for

:13:29.:13:34.

the review of the papers. Coming, it is the film review.
