Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are the writer David Torrance and the Broadcast | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with... | :00:22. | :00:34. | |
The 'i' leads with an allegation that the Royal Navy | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
It says the islands have been left without warship protection | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
for the first time since before the war of 1982. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
The Mail reports on a plot to behead British troops. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
It says the details emerged following the conviction | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
of Junead Khan for a similar plot against American | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
The Times says there's been fierce criticism of David Cameron's | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
handling of the steel crisis after China imposed huge tariffs | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
The Guardian reports that the Prime Minister has defended | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Britain's decision to reject higher tariffs on Chinese steel, | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
as the Business Secretary Sajid Javed faces the anger of steel | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
The Financial Times reports that Tata Steel is just | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
"going through the motions" as hopes fade of a sale | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
The Telegraph says that as many as 33,000 people with granny flats | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
attached to their houses will face tax bills for second homes. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
The Express says migrant mothers from other European Union countries | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
have cost the National Health Service ?1.3 billion | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
The Mirror leads with more details about the death of Ronnie Corbett. | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
The paper says he hid his suffering from Motor Neurone Disease | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
You could be forgiven for thinking to's paper review comes from the | :01:51. | :02:03. | |
1980s. There are so many stories that feel like they belong to 30 | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
years ago. First of all, the plight of the steel industry. Here it is on | :02:09. | :02:22. | |
the times. Oh, the irony. Sorry, steal. China putting up a tariff | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
against British Steel, particularly Welsh steel. But Britain seem to be | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
so wary of doing the same for Chinese imports. But it's quite | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
interesting after a bad week for the government where we have had Anna | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Soubry on Monday saying that all options were on the table. | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
We see that now there is a fresh human mediation for the British | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
government since it seems that not only has it now admitted that it has | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
been blocking the European Union efforts to stop China flooding the | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
EU with cheap steel by blocking its attempt, at raising tariffs, against | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
China, but China has no such problem in moving extremely swiftly because | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
we learn here in the times that ministers appear to have been caught | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
up in China's announcement which is that it is imposing new tariffs of | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
46% on some steel products produced in Japan, South Korea and the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
European Union, and some of the very specific products that are targeted | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
and caught up in this union say in Wales is in fact products produced | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
in Newport by first Tata subsidiary. It is confusing with the government | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
saying one thing and the paper saying another. Trying to suggest | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
that it wasn't a matter of weeks or months ahead. A couple of the | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
newspapers today have that picture of Sajid Javid being confronted by | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
the steelworkers, lots of wagging fingers and angry looks. The quote | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
in the Guardian which appears to contradict the previous line is the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Prime Minister was speaking from Washington argues that the UK was | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
right to block plans, EU plans, as he argued they would rewrite not to | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
be the tariff rules on steel but the entire tariff infrastructure of the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
EU. There is definitely been a change there and as you say, it has | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
not been a good week so far and that is yet another twist. Let's look at | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
what it says on the FT. Some commentators suggesting that it is | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
not really inch Tata's interest to find a buyer. The FT has various | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
quotes suggesting that Tata has already made up its mind. Others | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
speculating teaming up with a Dutch company. But there is an interesting | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
aspect to this within the UK. There are two plants in Lanarkshire, | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
Clydebridge and DL which survived the steel closures in the 80s, the | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
processed steel, and Tata sold those to the Scottish Government for ?1 | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
and the government has subsequently sold on for ?1 so no cost for the | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
taxpayer and it seems that That he is wanting to turn them around. That | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
is a very particular type of processing, though, isn't it? A | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
niche operation. Although aspects of the new pot plants as well. I find | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
it weird that FT and the time tab mentioned -- haven't mentioned that. | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
Is there any suggestion that Liberty would be interested in the Welsh | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
plants? It has been raised, although that must be slightly political. Let | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
us move on. Staying with the Financial Times. This new tax is the | :06:52. | :07:05. | |
new stamp duty on second homes or investment properties and everybody | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
was trying to beat the April the 1st deadline giving solicitors are bit | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
of a headache as they were trying to get their conveyancing done. It | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
seems like a lot of the managed it. Yes, to the extent that the economic | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
's director no-ball Francis of the can construction products | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Association is pointing out that there will be a distortion as a | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
result of this in property transactions, so big spike in the | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
first half of the year and then big dip. As everyone has been rushing to | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
beat the deadline. It is quite a major shift because by to let has | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
been around for 20 years, double the size of the Private rented sector. | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
People have done well out of it but it does distort the rental market | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
and it is interesting to me that it is a Conservative Chancellor that is | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
taking this action, that after all, the Conservatives are the property | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
owning democracy of home ownership. Even they are taking action to try | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
and tackle the distortions. It is a very British and dominant. It is | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
quite interesting to see these new lines caught my attention. The | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
British have become landlords in their millions as buy to let | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
mortgages were first launched 20 years ago doubling the size of the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Private rented sector. It has distorted the price, particularly in | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
the south-east. Isn't it looked upon as the madness for owning property | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
in France? I think the particular part, yes, France is a country where | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
you rent much more than you by and I think that French people find the | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
most bizarre is what they think is a very feudal system where you're | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
buying, for example, let's talk about London, you by, or in | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
Manchester Birmingham or wherever, and think you buy it outright and | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
then oh, no, after... You only have 100 or 110 please. This seems very | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
bizarre. This is wit to my eyes as well. In Scotland there is no such | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
system. It is all freehold. It is a very specifically English form of | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
property management. They have changed the tax rules on what is tax | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
deductible and what you get relief on as an owner. People still want to | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
buy them, even though there is not so much money, supposedly, going to | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
be in by two late fools not to look at the interest rates. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Hopefully most people don't put money under their mattresses because | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
that is not very advisable. What you do with money that you have? Bricks | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
and mortar is still seen as a way to protect your money. Although you | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
still need to have a lot of money to do buy to let as it takes a big | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
deposit. But what you don't do is build a granny flat. The Daily | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Telegraph is telling us that granny flats are hit by tax rates and will | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
be regarded as stand-alone properties. If it spills over your | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
garage, can it really be regarded as a second property? An unintended | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
consequence, apparently of the new tax regime and it will catch 33,000 | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
homeowners. I think there will be grannies, there will be families | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
really raking in their boots, particularly if you think about how | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
disjointed and different our lives are now and how the whole advantage | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
of having a grandparent or grandparents with you the whole | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
child care, the knowledge that is passed on and everything, and to be | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
caught up in something like that. And not having to put older people | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
in care homes. You can't even get out of this because you can't sell | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
it off? No, it seems an unintended consequence. To qualify for the 3% | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
extra stamp duty they must be valued at ?40,000 or more and be able to be | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
sold separate residence. I don't know much about granny flats and I | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
understand that will pre-much all of them. It is also the contrast with | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
the government, a few years ago it was encouraging people to have these | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
annex as a means to try to combat distortions within the property | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
market. It seems George Osborne hasn't done his homework. Maybe | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
though have to think about that. Let's look at the Guardian. This is | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
an appalling story. First man jailed for forcing his wife into servitude. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
A lot of campaigners saying this is an important conviction. He had an | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
arranged marriage with a woman from Pakistan. They were apparently both | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
happy to get married but then his wife was treated in the most | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
appalling way. Yes, she was objected to two years to physical and mental | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
torture. He struck her, he threw tins of cat food at her, he sent | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
streams of abusive and demeaning text messages. He told her to jump | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
in front of a vehicle or read it, he broken nose, assaulted her. The list | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
just goes on. And it was a neighbour, we understand, who raised | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
the alarm as he saw her being pulled by her hair. On that point, it seems | :13:06. | :13:18. | |
legal experts and charities who described the case as | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
ground-breaking also describe it as the tip of the iceberg. The | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
implication is that there are a lot of other cases like this. But we | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
simply don't know about. One of the ways this remains a secret is as | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
this man did, the abuser, she said she felt like a prisoner. What they | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
do is isolate you. He made her work from 5am until 12pm, -- 12am, it you | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
get so little sleep. What sort of state are you in to go out and get | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
help. We need to make it clear that people can get help but, how do we | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
let them know? They are trapped. In most cases they're not given access | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
to telephones or the Internet because from the other person's | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
point of view it would be too risky. It's interesting on the sentencing, | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
it appears that there will be concurrent sentences and he could be | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
free within 12 months, as the Guardian says, less than half the | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
time that she lived under his control. Having worked at the | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
Conference, chaired Conference on trafficking to do with women in | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
prostitution, we think of police in this country -- we think of women | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
and think why don't they pick up the phone and call someone? A lot of | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
these women don't trust the police because the countries where they are | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
from the police are corrupt. You may think it's terribly easy to contact | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
the police that they may have all kinds of reasons for not contacting | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
them. And they are terrified to. And The "i" has a story | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
about the Royal Navy Why is that? Why can't we managed to | :15:06. | :15:18. | |
patrol these islands which the islanders of which tell us want to | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
remain British? According to the fuller story and according to | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
Labour, it is a cumulative effect of defence cuts from conservatives, | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
presumably from previous administrations over the last 20 | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
years. Of course the MoD budget has not been safe from posterity over | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
the last two administrations. I'm not sure whether this is serious or | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
not, Emily Thornbury, the Shadow Defence Secretary, said the | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
situation is not acceptable and demand the MoD immediately dispatch | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
a warship to the region. Which may send an interesting signal to | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Argentina which this week was told by the UN that they are the | :16:04. | :16:18. | |
Malvinas. . They do belong in a Marine territory of Argentina. This | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
is a UN working group that has come up with a ruling that is not legally | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
binding. Possibly to be compared in a different way with Julian Assange | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
some weeks ago working group who said he was having his human rights | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
infringed after being locked up in the Ecuadorian Embassy. It is a | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
catchy headline here. Britain struggles to patrol South Atlantic | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
while warship wait for repairs. When you have an economic problem and a | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
difficult situation at home, don't cry for Argentina, but they have a | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
lot to cry out, it's much easier to concentrate on a foreign matter. The | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
MoD has pointed out that they don't agree with that headline, it would | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
surprise you to hear. It is fully under control and the situation is | :17:13. | :17:13. | |
fine. Yes, I can't say radio one is my | :17:14. | :17:38. | |
station of predilection. Perhaps not target audience. Perhaps not. This | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
is what Radio 1 used to be about, distinctive music, new music. John | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Peel and Jo Wiley. They used to flag up bands and acts that weren't | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
known. It's a difficult balancing act | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
It is the balance between the two. It would be nice to hear more new | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
music. Also its coverage of concerts and festivals. I think that is | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
extremely important to encourage new talent but they face a lot of | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
competition with streaming and all kinds of other things and of course | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
there is YouTube. Don't forget all the front pages | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
are online on the BBC News website, where you can read a detailed | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
review of the papers. It's all there for you - seven days | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. with each night's edition | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
of The Papers being posted on the page shortly | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
after we've finished. It is going to for most of us get a | :18:50. | :19:17. | |
bit warmer through the course | :19:18. | :19:18. |
