Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are Jack Blanchard, political editor at the Daily Mirror | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
and broadcaster Julia Hartley-Brewer. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
The Daily Telegraph reports that Scotland First Minister Nicola | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Sturgeon is already planning to abandon the SNP's policy | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
of rejoining the EU immediately after a vote for independence. | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
Referendum matters also lead in the Times - | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
which has conducted a poll which the paper says shows | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
the majority of Scots want to stay in the UK. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
The European Court of Justice ruling that companies in the EU can ban | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
staff from wearing visible religious or political symbols | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
The resignation of Charlotte Hogg - the new deputy governor | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
at the Bank of England - is the main headline | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
in the Financial times, which reports that her departure | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
strikes a blow for gender equality at the bank. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
The Daily Mail leads on MPs concerns and criticism of social media | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
content providers like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for failing | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
to tackle online hate crime, terrorism and child abuse. | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
The Sun leads on the Royals, reporting has been criticism over | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
the Duke of Cambridge for missing the Commonwealth Day service at | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Westminster Abbey yesterday and reports that he performs fewer royal | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
duties than the Queen. Let's begin. We are starting with | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
The Times. Who would like to begin with the Scots wanting to remain in | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
the UK, according to a new poll? We are seeing quite a big backlash | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
against Nicola Sturgeon's call for a new referendum. Several front pages | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
are pushing back at her. The most significant one is in the The Times, | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
during the first poll of Scottish voters and it is not good news for | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
her. She is 14 points behind getting a Yes vote in a new referendum, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
according to latest survey. This is not a foregone conclusion. If you | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
read the immediate response when she made the speech, it was almost as if | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
that is it, Scotland has gone. In fact, she still has a big hurdle. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
There the usual caveats for polls and a long way out from a | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
referendum? They started out a long way behind before the last | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
referendum. It is only if you exclude the don't know's. A lot of | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
them to make their minds up and it is all to play for. The reality is | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
that everybody I have spoken to since this was announced says that | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
there will be a referendum, it will not be the dates she wants, but one | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
thing people will not commit on is whether or not she will win it. It | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
is a game of brinkmanship between Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon. It | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
is awesome to watch, a fantastic soap opera. The permutations are | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
fascinating, with the EU factored into this one? Let's go on to the | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
Daily Telegraph, the headline there, Sturgeon abandons bid to stay in the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
EU. Take us through the detail of this. This is about the fact that | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
the whole point of this, the entire material change of circumstance that | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
was in the Scottish National Party manifesto is leaving the EU, the UK | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
is leaving and they want to stay in. But apparently, according to | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
sources, she is abandoning this bed because she thinks actually, I think | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
about one in four independence voters in 2014, they voted for | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
leaving the EU. There is a risk of 400,000 supporters saying, hold on, | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
we wanted to leave the EU. A compromise position, joining the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
European free trade Association, the one that Iceland is a member of, and | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Norway, access to the single market, free movement of goods, services and | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
people, that would be the middle ground. That would not involve | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
waiting for years to apply to join. Has not been confirmed yet by the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
SNP, it is a story the Telegraph are running. They haven't said anything | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
so far. What is interesting is that it shows the Brexit split that | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
corporate and down the middle also applies in Scotland. There is a | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
vague idea that everybody in Scotland loves the EU and that is | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
it. That is not the case. If Nicola Sturgeon is going to win the second | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
referendum, she needs every boat you can get. She has her own balancing | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
act. Same with Theresa May, she has two please the Scots, but she risks | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
angering the English roaders, and there are more of them than Scottish | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
voters. Interesting looking at the tone of that. Something else, away | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
from Brexit and the independence referendum in Scotland, onto the | :05:07. | :05:18. | |
Metro, bosses can ban burqas. They have ruled that bosses across Europe | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
are allowed to ban religious were in the place of work, as long as it is | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
not specific to one religion. This is a very divisive issue. A lot of | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
groups like Amnesty International, they are very upset with the ruling | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
because they think it fuels people's bigotry, in effect, but on the other | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
hand a lot of people will say it is up to employers. Will a lot of | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
businesses choose to ignore this? It is not binding, they are just giving | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
advice. This is the thing, it is not just about banning the burqa, it is | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
only in an office and they would have to have a specific reason, like | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
you are working in a hospital, you cannot have jewellery, it could not | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
be that customers might not like you wearing it. It is bizarre we make | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
this a liberty issue. Countries like Turkey, mainly Muslim, it is | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
actually banned, wearing even the he -- hijab in public places. In Iran | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
and Saudi Arabia you are basically flogged if you don't where it. In | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Indonesia, at least half of women there did not wear a headscarf. When | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
we say it is freedom of expressing your religion, there are still a lot | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
of debate amongst Islamic scholars about if there is a requirement to | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
wear it. There is no requirement to wear a Christian cross. It is across | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
the board. I don't think there is any need for people to bring | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
religion into the workplace unless it is relevant to work. If they want | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
to, why not? Who cares? Why do you need to? I don't need to do | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
anything. If somebody wanted to bring in... I'm not saying it is the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
same thing, but wanting to wear a T-shirt that was highly political, | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
people might say, I'm not happy about that. In football, we often | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
people to wear a uniform in the workplace, I think it is reasonable | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
for bosses to do that. What one person thinks as a neutral thing, or | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
a religious symbol or not, that can vary. You are not allowed to wear a | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
lot of religious symbols in France, in many public places. Employment, | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
schools, universities. The Financial Times, this is about the exit of | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Charlotte Hogg, the Bank of England new deputy governor. She has not | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
been on the role very long, she has resigned. Remind the viewer 's wife. | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
Because she forgot to tell... -- remind the viewer 's why. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
Unfortunately her job involves writing the rules which say you have | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
to disclose these things. It's quite important if you are going to be the | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
person that rights and enforces these rules. It is also the fact she | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
wrote these rules. The idea that it is a big secret, she is the daughter | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
of an aristocrat dig former Tory. She is the granddaughter of Lord | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
Chancellor 's. Her mother was involved in politics and is a life | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
peer. The odds they did not check her Wikipedia page or check her | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
family entries and know what her brother was, I find that unlikely. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
One would imagine it is a bizarre oversight, she assumed it was such | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
common knowledge that everybody knew that her brother worked for | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Barclays, that she forgot to make a note of it. But if you write the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
rules... George Osborne used to work for her father. Posh people all know | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
each other, in case anybody wonders. They were all that university | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
together. He was asked if it was about sexism. There has been a | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
debate, well, we have lost a female governor of the Bank of England, | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
lack of diversity. This is a white, aristocrat Oxford educated girl, I | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
am not sure she represents a full diverse range of people in the | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
country. The Financial Times has a photograph of two golfers, | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
holiday-makers on the 18th hole. Muirfield is admitting women. Women | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
of the world rejoice, you can't play golf at this ludicrous old golf | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
course in Scotland that has been banning them for however many | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
hundred years. As if we are supposed to be impressed they have finally | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
dragged themselves into the 20th century up there. Who would even | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
want to go there? I don't want to play golf, not at all. But if you | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
did, you would think... They were not allowed to host the open, if a | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
club said they were not open to black people, you would not be | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
allowed to host it, that is their choice. As a feminist, as I get | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
older, I think I don't care about these things. If you want to sit and | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
drink gin and tonic at the 19th hole and moan about your wife, I am not | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
bothered. They were dropped from the list last year, this year, look, | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
they have changed their mind. I think money might have spoken. | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
Dragged kicking and screaming? Maybe that is not fair, but clearly there | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
has been huge pressure. The amount of money they would have got from | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
hosting the Open, suddenly they're serious ethos about being men only | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
has gone. Left me shuffle back to the front page of the Telegraph. An | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
interesting one. A lot of people will talk about this. End of the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
line for first class? We are talking about first-class carriages on busy | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
trains. We have all been there without a seat and the first-class | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
carriage is virtually empty? The Telegraph found that during | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
rush-hour, these trains, absolutely everybody is in each other's armpits | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
for hours, half of the first-class seats are empty. Nothing more | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
infuriating. You walk down, going past empty carriages in first class, | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
you get to cattle class at the back, everybody is crammed and it is | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
ridiculous. You know they are charging hundreds of pounds for | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
seats that nobody can afford to sit in. It was a great idea, why do | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
people need a slightly bigger armchair? If somebody else is | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
paying, they are lovely! Yes, your expenses! Less than a fifth of them | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
were full or nearly full, some had only three four people in a carriage | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
of 48 seats. This is what people are paying for. All of the seats are | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
full, the people are very cross. It is just on very crowded commuter | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
trains, on smaller trains they are the same seats anyway. An | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
interesting one, lots of people will be watching that. Thank you very | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
much indeed. But is it for The Papers. You can see the front pages | :12:25. | :12:25. | |
online on the BBC News website. It's all there for you - seven days | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. And if you miss the programme, | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
any evening you can watch it Thank you Jack Blanchard | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
and Julia Hartley-Brewer. Hello, that big snowstorm in the | :12:34. | :12:54. | |
north-east of the USA will still be around in parts of New England, | :12:55. | :12:55. |
