wilds of the Amazon. And the latest film from Michael Moore, Way To

Invade Next. -- Where To Invade Next.

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

With me are Sian Griffiths, the education editor

of the Sunday Times, and the political commentator

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

The Observer carries a warning from David Cameron that a vote

to leave the EU could mean an end to increases in the state pension

and ring-fenced spending levels for the NHS.

And that story also dominates the front page

The Mail On Sunday leads with the referendum too -

but it has the Archbishop of Canterbury's announcement that

The Sunday Times carries allegations that British

diplomats considered the possibility of giving Turks the right

The Express claims Downing Street is panicking

about the prospect of losing the EU referendum.

The Sunday Mirror juxtaposes pictures

of the Royal family celebrating the Queen's 90th birthday

with images of English and Russian football fans fighting in Marseille.

Let's begin with the Telegraph, and their main story, PM's Brexit

pensions warning exclusive. He tells elderly their special protection

from cuts is at risk if they vote to leave. Particular reasons to appeal

to this part of the electorate. David Cameron has written an article

for the Sunday Telegraph, saying TV licences and retirement income may

not still be funded by the government, and it is because

economists are predicting a ?40 billion black hole in finances. He

is targeting be over 65s because we think they are more likely to vote

to leave the EU. So they are the People who will these these things.

It seems as though Downing Street are getting a little rattled by

these polls that are emerging, giving the Leave campaign a lead

over the ones who want to remain. Slightly disingenuous to talk about

the government funding license fees, because as we know it, the over 75s

fees are being handed over to the BBC eventually. But we have to be

careful with polls as we know from the general election last year. They

can be completely wrong. Most put the two sides neck and neck. They

are very close. There is a poll in the Observer suggesting a

significant number of people are yet to make up their mind and will only

do so in the last seven days before June 23. Even the polls we have at

the moment are on the basis that many are yet to decide. They need to

be taken with a pinch of salt. The key with the stories is yet again

the government are making the economic argument, and you can pick

anything you like and this time it happens to be TV licences and

pensions. If we leave, Britain will be worse off, therefore the economy

will go down and everything you like or value will suffer, and this

weekend, the common theme from Downing Street is it will be

pensions, pension benefits, free TV licences. Both sides were criticised

by the Treasury Select Committee for being a elastic with their

statistics. If you want to find a statistic that wants to prove your

point, usually can. People will be sceptical about this ?40 billion

figure. Every Sunday there is another story on one side or the

other are doing one thing or another. What I think the People who

want to leave are actually pushing home, and they are getting it, is

this idea of immigration. That really is being taken seriously.

That is why they are getting ahead in the polls. It is scaring people.

The Sunday express say panic rips downstream. Brexit surge reefing. --

grips damaging. Jeremy Corbyn says he is working hard to get the Labour

vote out. He also said on television how much he led the EU, he said

about seven, seven .5 out of ten. In terms of convincing Labour people he

is advocating remain, he is not making the most convincing fist of

it. They are seen as the critical element where if they don't come out

and vote for remain, Britain could well vote to leave. Especially those

Labour constituencies I speak to, they say what they are hearing from

Labour voters is they are increasingly inclined to vote early.

That critical element of sport could be enough to tip the balance in

Britain could vote to leave it was Labour voters have been unconvinced

-- of support. People are confused where Labour stands because there

has not been enough clarity about their position. Labour will be under

pressure to make that case more strongly in the few days that are

left. The case for remain unusually being made on the front of the Mall

of Sunday. The former Archbishop of Canterbury saying he wants to be in.

Why is he backing remain? What are his reasons? He has written an

article in the mall on Sunday where he says leaving the EU would harm

the economy -- the Mail on Sunday. Britain's Christian heritage was

founded on these values. I'm not surprised by this that he is backing

the Leave campaign, but as we say every week, new figures come out on

one side or the other. It is as if they have drawn up their list and

are releasing them like a jeep to the papers. -- drip. Proposals under

wraps for letting in Turks, until after the referendum. Wasn't this

part of the deal with Turkey agreed to help with the refugee and migrant

crisis that there would be free travel arrangements for their

people? I found this story confusing. The story seems to

suggest there have been some diplomatic appraisals and plans

discussed for up to 1.5 million Turks, giving them visa free travel

to the UK. They would be government officials, teachers and civil

servants. But they seem to be proposals at an early stage, they

don't seem to have gone very far. President Erdogan has agreed a deal

with the EU to close his country's borders with Syria, and he is

demanding visa free travel to the EU in return. I'm not sure this story

sort of text is much further. -- takes this. Doesn't this imply they

are being secretive about it until after the referendum? This is

something the Leave campaign is promoting, everything is on the

backburner until June 23 and then everything will come out of

Pandora's box. It does touch on everything they have been saying

about immigration as a key issue. And that issue of Turkey potentially

joining the EU. The government are at great pains to state that is used

if not decades away. Diplomats are encouraged to be frank and talk

about both things, a government ministers, let the Home Secretary,

Theresa May, and the Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, Saint

bees have been very selectively quoted from the diplomatic cables

and we will not be opening the door to 1.5 million Turks -- say these

have been. People are worried about the issue of millions of Turks

coming to Britain and the government has stressed that will not happen.

Diplomatic cables and telegrams, very retro forms of communication.

The Sunday Mirror, happy in glorious is the headline, featuring two very

different pitches. The Royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace

looking at the fly past for the Queen's birthday, and then

underneath those battles on the streets of Marseille between England

and Russia supporters. It is a peculiar juxtaposition. It is

gripping. We were discussing the headline earlier. It is a little

clunky, but it draws your attention. It is clever, the juxtaposition.

Yes, there are two sides in England. You have the Queen's 90 that they,

very happy -- 90th birthday. Prince Charlotte getting her first outing

in a new dress. And then dreadful hooliganism. Throwing stones,

alcoholism. We will see more of these terrible pictures of

Marseille, but it is important to point out these are very small grips

of English first light. Police are having trouble keeping control of

that part of the city -- English first light. You seem to have

Russian fans involved and people spoiling for a fight. A tiny

minority have gone out with this express intention and it seems like

the English supporters are retreating. But some of these fans

sticking around and looking for trouble. Staggering that they do not

seem to realise they will be filmed. I think they are drunk. It is

clearly fuelled by alcohol. They are still clutching their bottles. I

think they get to that stage where they have almost no idea what they

are doing except they want to fight. John McDonnell, the Shadow

Chancellor, suggesting if Sir Philip Green wind appear before select

committees this week, he should lose his knighthood. The papers have

already been suggesting that. Mike Ashley tried this trick, the Sports

Direct owner, and said I will not appear before the committee. He was

relatively dragged in. Sir Philip Green has a lot of questions to

answer about BHS and is facing similar questions. He really must

appear, and he can try to delay it, that he will be there. These

accusations have been flying around for a long time. The way Sir Philip

Green. With and disposed of the company, who he sold it to, races

questions. -- the way Sir Philip Green dealt with. He maintains he

did nothing wrong. I think the committee has the right to ask

questions. This whole problem of the pension deficit for these 11,000

workers who have lost their jobs or will probably lose their jobs with

the collapse of BHS, and Sir Philip Green must appear before a committee

of MPs to answer a lot of questions that still remain about what

happened. More importantly, how are these people, how is this pension

deficit going to be made up? He is angry because Frank Field said the

Select Committee would laugh if Sir Philip Green were to offer less than

?600 million to settle BHS's pension debts when he gives evidence. That

is a perfectly proper thing for the head of a Select Committee to

suggest. He has to explain why he sold the company to a guy for a

pound who has been twice bankrupt. They clearly did not do enough to

diligence if they thought Dominic Chappell was right and proper person

to buy BHS. The questions are far from over. They have just begun.

That is all for the papers. Thank you for talking us to the front

pages. All of them are online as is the paper review. Coming up next,

even review. -- The Film Review.
