31/05/2016 The Papers

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

With me are Fay Schlesinger, who's Head of News at The Times

and Kiran Stacey, who's Energy Correspondent at the FT.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

The Financial Times reports that the clothing retailer,

-- the US and UK are battling to keep the biggest trade on track.

Under the headline "killed in the house of horrors" ,

the Metro, leads on the news that a woman and her civil

partner have been convicted of murdering her two-year-old son.

The Daily Telegraph reports that the Vote Leave leaders have

pledged an Australian style points-based immigration system

The Guardian claims British involvement in controversial

rendition operations during the "war on terror" provoked an unprecedented

row between intelligence agencies , MI5 and and MI6.

The Times reports that the US state department has warned American

tourists about the risk of terrorist attacks in Europe this summer.

The Daily Express claims illegal migrants are paying smuggling gangs

The Daily Mail also leads the EU referendum and higher rates the

Leave campaign strategy to reduce immigration.

Let us start with this dread. The Liam Fee. Pictures and all the front

pages. -- this dread. We of Liam Fee. How many inquest that we had in

two cases like this? It is too many. This too good old boy who in 2013

died at the hands of his mother and civil partner in Fife in Scotland.

The element of the score with that Blixed Colin -- of the story that

makes it galling, the system has failed this child. Nursery workers

have been working with Liam Fee and had alerted the authorities.

Something was wrong. He did not look to be well looked after. The social

worker visits the house and is giving a plausible explanation. Goes

away and goes on sick leave and the case is not passed on to anybody

else. He fell through the hole. There was marks on his face and they

covered it with chocolate. It is galling. It is an individual case.

We are seeing a social care system for children that is really

struggling under the weight... We reported in the Times about the

scale of children being reported to social services. One in five

preschool children from 2009 until last year had been reported to

social services. One in five. How does the system cope with checking

out everyone of those reports. If you were trying to recruit for the

social services, it cannot be easy? Inevitably social services will be

criticised because the child slipped through the system. There will be in

negative feedback loop where people see the stories and think that the

last thing they want to do is to get involved in a system like that. A

story like this happens and the people who get blamed, there are the

parents, but as much people are looking for somebody to blame that

they can do something about. The social services get it. It must be a

rewarding profession and they do lots of good work. This is the

nightmare scenario for anybody who works in the service. There is

always going to be cases like this. There is the risk we think that

something is this the men -- systemically wrong. It has been a

while since we have had this. We had a spate a view years ago when he was

a number of cases like this. On the plus side, the story gets lots of

publicity and makes the government aware. It is a sector that needs

money. It is not a sexy sector but it is desperate for money. Let us

focus on the Daily Telegraph. The EU referendum. Three weeks and two days

to go. One of the criticisms about the Leave campaign is that they do

not have formal policies in Britain decides to leave. This is the first

policy on the front page today of a manifesto commitment. It is a

manifesto commitment. Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, and pretty Patel. They

are coming out with the statement that is released this evening that

says, the cancer is an Australian point system on immigration where

you allocate points depending on skills.

What is interesting that these people, even if we exit, they do not

have any mandate to lead the country. We do not know who is in

charge. They cannot criticise them for not coming up with formal

proposals in criticise them for coming up with them. You can imagine

the anger of the Leave campaign. They had been bashed over the head.

Tell us what Britain after the exit will look like. They are seeing

things that are not in your power. We were talking about taking VAT of

energy bills and will talk about immigration tomorrow. We do not know

that is the case. It is legitimate to say this could happen. The other

interesting thing about this is that it is Boris Johnson as the leave

campaign on an anti-immigration platform. He made a huge play out of

being pro-immigration. He was talking about the only openly

pro-immigration politician in Britain. If there was less

immigration in the economy would stagnate, he said. Irrespective of

what we think here in London, if you go out into the country, migration

plays very strongly. They have had a good week with migration. Look at

the polls at the top of the times tonight. Three new poll is out

today. Two from ICM and the Guardian. The exit campaign is four

points ahead. And the YouGov poll for the times that is neck and neck.

The ICM poll is a telephone pole. Telephone surveys traditionally have

Remain ahead. They will talk about remaining FTR on the phone. This is

turning it on the head. The markets and the bookmakers moved because of

these polls. It does feel like we had any will be we cannot predict

what will happen. Some traction for Leave? The bookmakers say that

overwhelmingly Remain as the favourite and that is where I will

put my money. Every referendum we have, we see the polls move towards

the status quo and the last few weeks of the campaign and I will be

amazed if that did not happen. A lot of talk in the referendum debate

about the single market. And also the transatlantic trade agreement

which is being negotiated currently. This is something we have been

talking about any Financial Times. It is these type of thing that

people outside of the cosmopolitan circles have started asking me

about. Happy? -- have they? It is supposed to be a free trade deal

between the EU and US. It will mean that for instance, if the British

company wants to invest in the American health service it can do so

freely. And vice versa. An American company if they want to run a course

before, they can do so. At the moment it is restricted. If you have

got private ownership, particularly in a different country, we will sort

out disputes that occurs? What if it is a court not under British control

and British voters do not have a say over it. Politicians have been

putting exemptions in it. The French have a classic. Meat, cheese and

wine. It is interesting. It seemed like to be a technological fun but

Donald Trump is campaigning about it and Helen Clinton is talking about

it. Junior doctors. We have all been sleepwalking and suddenly these

vested interest groups... There are lots of people saying that they will

has been pulled over our eyes by the elite and the stitching up the deal

and we are not being included. It is less scary than people are saying.

It is feeding into that anti-elite style of politics. Let us move

forward towards the Times. Your main story tonight, it is about the

terror threat. We have one eye on the European Championships. This is

from the US State Department. They have put out a warning. What is

unusual that it is very broad brush. You could have a terror attack in

aged and Tunisia and countries will warn citizens about travelling. What

is real is to have a Europe-wide alert. -- Egypt. The Seb Davies a

risk for US citizens travelling to public areas across Europe. -- the

Xavier Denis. If you are a US tourist thinking about going to

London or Scotland, you make think twice. It is legitimate, we have

seen some horrific attacks in France and in Brussels. This will have an

impact that goes beyond American citizens. Running out of time. This

story at the front of the Daily Telegraph. It is difficult to get an

appointment at the doctors. It might get harder if the BMA is warning GPs

to only see a certain number per day. The BMA are saying that GPs are

exhausted. If you see a GP in the afternoon you will get worse

treatment than in the morning. They want a limit of seven appointments

per day. That might be good advice. I wonder if it is a political move.

In the last few days we had the story about the BMAs messages being

linked hash leaked. The this good with the government is about paint

rather than working conditions. -- page. Are you a stickler for

punctuation? That is because we the Times. We have standards to uphold

and expectations from readers us. I think it is great that people can

play with punctuation. What I like about this story, it has got

punctuation all the way through it. It also has the Court of the night

from professional David Crystal. People simply do not put periods in

unless they want to make a point. I have never seen anything like that

in the history of periods. They are out of time. Thank you. We will be

back tomorrow night. Same time. You can see a detailed example on the

BBC website.
