05/06/2016 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

Twitter was a flame after the last paper review. -- aflame.

With me are Benedicte Paviot, who's the UK Correspondent for France 24

and the Home Affairs Editor for the Evening Standard, Martin Bentham.

Since we last saw Benedicte, she has been awarded the National Order of

Merit? I may ask the queen for a knighthood soon. That's lovely.

The Telegraph leads on news that David Cameron will

tomorrow unite with the Labour party to speak about what he perceives

The Financial Times front page shows a picture of some

of the tributes that have been paid to the legendry boxer Muhammad Ali

and has a piece about how High Street banks are now gearing up

Tomorrow's Metro leads on a story we have been covering today,

Sir John Major entering into the EU referendum debate to call the leave

The Guardian meanwhile says that the leaders of Britain's biggest

trade unions have issued a plea to their six million members to vote to

The paper also shows a picture of Andy Murray being consoled

after his latest grand slam final loss to Novak Djokovic.

The Times also shows Murray being consoled and leads with news that

British Special Forces are on the front line in Syria.

The Mirror leads with claims that Muhammad Ali held out

against Parkinson's three times as long as doctors predicted.

The Sun also leads with the great boxer and has a full page shot

showing Ali's final official picture with the text "Ali at the end".

The Daily Mail shows the same shot and splashes on a report that

Pig Human embryos have been created in a dramatic bid to solve

Starting with The Guardian, unions warned of Brexit threat. Urging

union members to back the remaining campaign. These are some of the very

big unions, saying we should stay in because it could be a reflux of hard

wing writes? It is aiming 6 million members to back the Remain campaign

-- Remain. The biggest trade unions in the UK are the ones who are

really saying that if there is a Brexit, the Conservative Party would

be left to basically undo a lot of the rights such as maternity and

paternity, equal treatment for part-time and agency workers, and

the right to paid leave. That has underpinned it. They said underpins

working rights for British people. This letter is being sent to 6

million members on Monday. They do point out that it is important to

have various reforms of the EU. It is not perfect by any means. This

could arguably be the return of the powers, an increase in sovereignty

that Britain would enjoy if you were in favour of leaving the EU? That

would be down to Westminster to decide on? And personally I think

that is absolutely right. That is the argument that I think we should

dot. Dot the idea that all these things would be scrapped is probably

wrong anyway. Even if we did have a Brexit. But I think it shows a lack

of faith in the unions, and in our own parliaments and their ability to

win the votes of the British people. The question isn't whether the EU

has done a good or bad things, because some of the things it has

done very good things. The question is, who should decide? If you can't

win through our own voters and persuading them to do something, I

don't think that's right. I don't think we should be relying on people

from the outside. This letter talks about the 1999 trade unions working

rights and so on. It gives the game away, because this is exactly

what... This is why the change occurred in the party to being pro-

EU. There work is being brought in which were contrary to what they had

been really able to achieve in the British parliamentary system. We

vote for MEPs, don't we? It is a democratic institution in that we

have as much right to vote in the European elections as any other

member state? Ultimately, the ministers have the broader

influence. The scrutiny is not there. Personally I think that these

arguments are ones to be won. We have a good record with the national

minimum wage, antidiscrimination laws in terms of race and sexual

discrimination, brought in by our own parliaments before we were in

the EU. It's not as if we don't have our own volition towards social

progress. An attack on Boris, this shows how this is just not being

fought along party lines at all and? We have seen a chasm emerged in the

Conservative Party? I think this is a fundamental issue about the future

of the country and it shouldn't be dictated by the new party political

considerations of party thinking we must all stick together and not have

an open airing of our different views on such fundamental issues. It

is quite a healthy thing to admit particularly for conservatives, to

haul themselves together after the referendum. For the good of the

country, I think it is right that people are out there saying what

they think freely and openly. It is leading to a rather heated debate.

What is remarkable is to see Sir John Major with that kind of full

frontal attack. This is a man who was described, when he was Prime

Minister, as being boring. He was clearly anything but yesterday. He

was very outspoken, and it was a full frontal attack on Michael Gove,

Boris Johnson and Iain Duncan Smith. On the 24th of June and afterwards

there will still be a Conservative government, and goodness knows what

position this puts the government in. There has been incredible

damage, and I think the message, whether it's pro- leave or not, it

is a momentous decision for this country. I think John Major demeaned

himself slightly, it has turned into a personal attack on Boris Johnson.

It's a much bigger issue than the individual people concerned. -- he

has reverted to personal attacks. UK forces on the front line in theory,

they had been in training camps previously? Yes, so we've been told.

In London, we have been told that our rebels are on the front line.

Helping the new Syrian army in a south-eastern village. This is in

Syria, what is crucial is that this village sits near the Iraqi-Di --

Iraqi -Jordanian borders. It is also interesting that British Special

Forces only last week were interviewing in Libya, so clearly

British Special Forces don't need approval from the House of Commons.

It's not like having regular troops on the ground? Know, often our

troops operate in countries we don't know about in very covert ways. I

think, in this case, there are talks about helping in a particular case

with logistics like building defences to make longer safe and so

on, to help rebels rappel Islamic State attacks. I think that is quite

a good seeing. Staying with the Times, Novak Djokovic won be French

Open today. Roland Garros consoling Andy Murray, very touching? It is.

Yes, Novak Djokovic is Andy Murray's old nemesis. Andy Murray

did very well to get into the final and it was fantastic to see Novak

Djokovic, he has always said that he has extra angels sitting on his

shoulders. The clouds parted, the Sun came out, it wasn't lost on

anybody. -- sun. He spoke in French, he made a few tiny mistakes, it

didn't matter. He did remarkably well, even apart from winning. He

said he thinks it is the epitome of his career. Dignity in a final

ported, a picture of Muhammad Ali taken just a couple of months ago?

Obviously diminished by the appalling on is that he suffered?

Yes, and he had painted at so look a little bit older than he did when he

was in his physical prime. You can still see the power and you can

still see the presents that he had. Finally, going over to the

Telegraph, these are the cover stories that caused a bit of a stir

last hour. Leftover bottle of red, put it in the fridge with the

white? Advice from a wine expert? Yes, making sure you don't waste it

and drink it very quickly. That's if you have any left. Yes, this is a

great issue. The question is, do you actually have any left to put in the

fridge? And if so, are you going to keep it for so long that you need to

put it into the fridge? Just before Christmas, I saw that you can get

corks that take the extra air out of the bottle. Just sip it, enjoy

life. It's short. Yes, the vacuum is don't get much use in my house. The

last story of the night, couples are having less sex because of

television box sets? I think this is particularly in the United Kingdom.

It seems to be a report... It's on the front of the daily Telegraph. I

wonder if this happens in France and Italy? Do the French have box sets.

Of course we do! But there is too much TV watching. I was watching a

BBC programme years ago, it was greatly admired and I loved it, but

it's actually encourage people to switch the television off and do

other things. OK. Doesn't it speak of the polity... The poor quality of

people's sex lines but be quality of television at the moment? I suppose

it does, but the statistician from Cambridge University here, he says

it is very worrying that people are only making love five times a

month, they used to be making love five times a month but now it is

three times a month. One Twitter user says, three times a month?

Lucky devils! Thank you very much, lovely to see you both. Hope to see

you again soon. That's it from the papers, coming up next is the Film

Review.
