Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:00.:00:25.

With me are broadcaster David Davies and Helen Joyce,

:00:26.:00:28.

International Editor at The Economist.

:00:29.:00:29.

The Financial Times leads with the rebellion by BP

:00:30.:00:31.

shareholders over the 20% pay rise for its Chief Executive,

:00:32.:00:36.

Bob Dudley, after a year in which the company

:00:37.:00:39.

It says the BP chief's ?14 million payout caused an investors' revolt.

:00:40.:00:48.

New Day leads on the young mother, Lauren Heath, who was killed

:00:49.:00:51.

by a lorry as she walked her baby daughter in her pram

:00:52.:00:57.

The Metro has the story of a policewoman

:00:58.:01:00.

It says a hero dragged her to safety.

:01:01.:01:04.

The Independent has a banner picture of the old political foes united

:01:05.:01:06.

in their support of the campaign to remain in the EU,

:01:07.:01:11.

but it warns "Brexit is no laughing matter" because the uncertainty

:01:12.:01:13.

leading up to the vote is hurting Britain's economy.

:01:14.:01:21.

And the Daily Express leads on what it hails

:01:22.:01:23.

as a new breakthrough in research to cure type one diabetes.

:01:24.:01:29.

Let's look at at least some of those. The Independent is where we

:01:30.:01:34.

are going to start, it is almost like a caption competition. David

:01:35.:01:40.

Cameron, Paddy Ashdown and Neil Kinnock sharing what seems to be a

:01:41.:01:45.

funny moment. It strikes me that we start with David Cameron looking

:01:46.:01:50.

mildly cheerful, and Paddy Ashdown is an absolute hysteria. This may be

:01:51.:01:58.

laughing gas. I wondered that somebody has said, why not have a

:01:59.:02:07.

particle Lycian. -- three party coalition. The point is they are all

:02:08.:02:17.

on the same side, the EU referendum. The warning below is the must vote

:02:18.:02:21.

to stay, so everybody know these mainstream parties, everyone is

:02:22.:02:26.

saying that if you go there will be lots of problems and I wonder if

:02:27.:02:30.

that is the problem. Which can of course work both ways? It can work

:02:31.:02:36.

both ways. Are there really ten weeks to go? Starting at midnight

:02:37.:02:43.

tonight officially. I don't know what other people think but for

:02:44.:02:46.

those of us who want there to be a good argument and perhaps want to be

:02:47.:02:50.

convinced one way or the other, up to this point, I am really

:02:51.:02:57.

disappointed by some of the one-sided coverage we're getting in

:02:58.:03:01.

so many parts of the media and from politicians. This is not a simple

:03:02.:03:10.

choice. Nobody can surely think that, that it is blindingly obvious

:03:11.:03:15.

that you should vote in or out, and we are told, you drone corresponded

:03:16.:03:22.

today, your political editor, was saying today that Jeremy Corbyn had

:03:23.:03:28.

been grudging in going in with the in crowd. Actually, I think there's

:03:29.:03:36.

a amongst a lot of people that they grudgingly they might be going one

:03:37.:03:40.

way or the other. The other thing I saw today was Alan Johnson is coming

:03:41.:03:48.

out front at the early part of the day, supporting Jeremy Corbyn who he

:03:49.:03:54.

has not always been very kind about, and I wondered, we have had a few

:03:55.:03:59.

lost leaders in my lifetime, and he is a lost leader of our country. I

:04:00.:04:05.

am interested in this feeling and I am sure people at the Bank of

:04:06.:04:08.

England are seeing sincerely what they think, but with all the

:04:09.:04:14.

organisations and parties and so on on one side, the mainstream parties,

:04:15.:04:18.

that is the problem people start to feel, like they are being pushed and

:04:19.:04:23.

they want to dig their heels in and feel like I don't care if you are

:04:24.:04:27.

all against me, you are all saying the same thing and I will not

:04:28.:04:31.

listen. But they also don't like uncertainty. And the difficulty for

:04:32.:04:39.

the bricks at people is to say, you when, and what happens then. --

:04:40.:04:46.

Brexit. Whatever you say you can't be sure. Takers to the coverage of

:04:47.:04:53.

Bob Dudley because they appears on the front page, the BP chief and

:04:54.:05:01.

shareholders were not happy today. He has been given a 20% pay rise

:05:02.:05:04.

even though his firm lost an awful lot of money, that is because the

:05:05.:05:08.

oil price fell and that is not exactly be a fault, but you feel

:05:09.:05:14.

that when the oil price falls it is not your fault but when it dries you

:05:15.:05:19.

must be an amazing boss! And not just this firm, but everyone is

:05:20.:05:22.

willing to see how well they were doing when the market went up and

:05:23.:05:25.

when it went down it is not their fault. This is a multi-year formula

:05:26.:05:31.

that was set and that shareholders voted and agreed on by 90%. Not

:05:32.:05:38.

close. And this is them saying after the fact, this is last year's pay

:05:39.:05:43.

and received that, that when the company has lost that much money

:05:44.:05:48.

they don't like the look of him coming out. They say they will not

:05:49.:05:51.

take the money back and I doubt they could take it back. They have hair

:05:52.:05:57.

band are listening and well think again for next year. This has a

:05:58.:06:01.

bigger significance. For the first time I suspect in the past few

:06:02.:06:08.

months, I think that any quality, the failure of successive

:06:09.:06:13.

governments to do anything about the inequalities, the gap between rich

:06:14.:06:18.

and poor in our lifetime is coming home to roost, and people are

:06:19.:06:23.

saying, it is no good any more and it is damaging to companies, and the

:06:24.:06:28.

number of business people have come out and said absolutely this, to be

:06:29.:06:34.

paying one person 14 million or perhaps even 20 million, and on the

:06:35.:06:39.

other hand we all know with or without a living wage, there are

:06:40.:06:46.

horrendous pockets of inequality in our country. They are busy line, the

:06:47.:06:52.

rebellion highlighted the growing trend of institutional investors and

:06:53.:06:55.

advisers taking a more aggressive stance over pay. It happened years

:06:56.:07:00.

ago and nothing came of it. The shareholder spring so let's see what

:07:01.:07:06.

happens this time. The daily Mirror, the superbug story quoting the

:07:07.:07:09.

Chancellor, we haven't got enough to get to the bottom as to why he is

:07:10.:07:13.

being quoted, but the warming is alarming? I was going to say, the

:07:14.:07:20.

job of Health Secretary has taken over from the job of Home Secretary

:07:21.:07:25.

as the poisoned chalice of government. Poor old Jeremy Hunt is

:07:26.:07:31.

being beaten up in all quarters at the moment. Today you have been

:07:32.:07:35.

reporting about accident and emergency waiting. Some of us have

:07:36.:07:40.

experienced that even quite recently, and they are horrendous

:07:41.:07:43.

figures, but now, the is this real worry about antibiotics that are

:07:44.:07:50.

going to work and that increasingly arrant going to work. And not the

:07:51.:07:54.

first time we have heard the warning about Andy Gray ticks but the

:07:55.:08:00.

figures here are telling. The apocalypse scenario is that they all

:08:01.:08:05.

stop working. Evolution and the bacteria evolved to cope with them.

:08:06.:08:10.

We haven't producing new ones, so I have no idea why the story is on the

:08:11.:08:15.

cover today but it is a genuine story. George Osborne said it will

:08:16.:08:21.

become a greater threat to mankind than cancers today. But among all

:08:22.:08:28.

the other thing is worrying as this should be worrying us. This caught

:08:29.:08:34.

your eye, finds to end misery of unmanned roadworks. Hooray for the

:08:35.:08:41.

Transport Minister. Councils and utilities companies that use --

:08:42.:08:46.

cause misery by leaving roadworks with Lord Pearce taking place will

:08:47.:08:50.

be fined as part of a government crackdown. The fines don't seem to

:08:51.:08:57.

be so huge, but for goodness sake, not before time. The only worry I

:08:58.:09:02.

have about this is that as you go down the story, you get to A roads

:09:03.:09:11.

and some of us might have stronger view about certain waterways we have

:09:12.:09:16.

sat on for many weekends. There was the famous cones hotline so I am not

:09:17.:09:22.

hopeful this will lead to a revolution in roadworks being left

:09:23.:09:29.

to set. However, I would like to hope something will come of it. I

:09:30.:09:35.

have doubt about this. If you have in the middle of doing some

:09:36.:09:38.

comprehensive roadworks and you have got the weekend off, do you really

:09:39.:09:41.

want to be clearing up the whole site on a Friday evening and putting

:09:42.:09:46.

it back again on Monday. The idea is you don't take the weekend. I guess

:09:47.:09:53.

you sometimes work shifts, rather late? Are you working 9-5 yourself?

:09:54.:10:03.

Fair point. Is that a fair concern? I think it is a very fair concern,

:10:04.:10:08.

some of us are so wizened that we look at the story is rather like

:10:09.:10:13.

health stories in another daily newspaper that loves having health

:10:14.:10:17.

stories on the front page. You look at them, not another one! Possibly.

:10:18.:10:25.

Possibly, a concession of sorts. I am also being told of its sites

:10:26.:10:30.

where temporary traffic lights are left in place after roadworks are

:10:31.:10:33.

completed which is an unnecessary delay and the burden on the economy

:10:34.:10:38.

so it is clear where he stands. We will talk briefly, we have minute

:10:39.:10:43.

left, about the Duchess of Cambridge's archery skills and I

:10:44.:10:46.

know this is a media of expertise for you. I have never even tried but

:10:47.:10:53.

I suspect it is rather difficult. That is my entire contribution. I

:10:54.:11:00.

have been to the world archery Championships in Dover, near the

:11:01.:11:05.

White cliffs, and I have seen the fantastic skills of these archers.

:11:06.:11:10.

But you haven't fired? It frightened the life out of me, but good for the

:11:11.:11:23.

Duchess having a go. She is lucky to go to Bhutan. On that note, thank

:11:24.:11:34.

you both very much indeed and thank you, Helen and David, and before you

:11:35.:11:40.

go, these front pages have been coming and while we are only. I am

:11:41.:11:47.

told we haven't! But they normally do. Don't forget the front pages are

:11:48.:11:53.

on the BBC website where you can read a detailed review of the

:11:54.:12:02.

papers. Each night's edition of the papers is posted on the page after

:12:03.:12:04.

we finish. Goodbye. Good evening. Thursday brought us a

:12:05.:12:22.

day of sunny spells and
