's click, could 3`D printing be the next copyright battle ground? We

:00:00.:00:00.

will have a chat with a man who made the world 's first 3`D printed gun.

:00:00.:00:18.

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

:00:19.:00:25.

us tomorrow for sub with me is the pensions expert Ros Altmann and also

:00:26.:00:29.

James Lyons, the deputy blood alleged the Daily Mirror. Let's have

:00:30.:00:34.

a look at what the papers are showing us. On the front page of the

:00:35.:00:43.

independent, a lovely picture of one of thousands of people, young child,

:00:44.:00:47.

paying their respects Nelson Mandela, dominating the front page.

:00:48.:01:06.

Also room for and the ongoing protest in the Ukraine is the main

:01:07.:01:10.

photo on the frontal times. Alongside the news HSBC is

:01:11.:01:15.

considering floating its UK arm. Father with no right is the Daily

:01:16.:01:19.

Mail headline as the paper tells Father's 12 year divorce battle to

:01:20.:01:24.

see his daughter. And the weather story dominates the Daily Express.

:01:25.:01:29.

Storms are on the way this Christmas. What is it about the

:01:30.:01:35.

express? They are obsessed with the weather, aren't they? Good evening

:01:36.:01:43.

to you both. A bit of a mix now emerging on the front pages from

:01:44.:01:46.

Strictly Come Dancing to South Africa, two very domestic stories as

:01:47.:01:51.

well. We are going to start with the Daily Telegraph. A High Court judge

:01:52.:01:57.

appealing to couples to get married basically. It's unbelievable in this

:01:58.:02:01.

day and age to share somebody express it in that way. You know,

:02:02.:02:06.

you might have heard that 50 years ago, but... Nothing wrong with that,

:02:07.:02:12.

though. There's nothing wrong with it but to tell people, to think you

:02:13.:02:18.

need to tell people I do have to be married or make sure you need to

:02:19.:02:21.

tell people I do have to be married or make sure you're ready to have

:02:22.:02:24.

it's like someone from a different age. I'm going to shock you now. I

:02:25.:02:27.

age. I'm going to shock you now I had my children out of wedlock. I

:02:28.:02:31.

just had my third and just married before that. Has being married made

:02:32.:02:39.

a difference to your jaw wife? Do you feel like your relationship is

:02:40.:02:45.

stronger? I'm a lot poorer. Wait till you get divorced. I'm trying to

:02:46.:02:55.

avoid that expense. This guide is going to retire next year. I think

:02:56.:02:58.

you should probably push off now if that's his idea. How are you

:02:59.:03:03.

supposed to know? I never felt ready. It does quote the whole of

:03:04.:03:13.

criminal justice organisation who said this something different about

:03:14.:03:18.

being married, it's more stable people are bound together when they

:03:19.:03:21.

are married in a way they are not if they are just living together, which

:03:22.:03:25.

is... That's because they had been living together for donkeys years

:03:26.:03:29.

and split up before. And they have children. Do you think marriage has

:03:30.:03:34.

become more and fashioned? It's not about that. For a lot of people,

:03:35.:03:39.

it's just the relevant. And it's not for everybody, is it? Nearly half of

:03:40.:03:45.

kids are born out of wedlock now. In 1998, it is a quarter of kids born

:03:46.:03:51.

out of wedlock. But are you going to say nobody is best to have kids

:03:52.:03:57.

unless they are married? A child is a big commitment. A lifelong can

:03:58.:04:00.

admit you can't get out of. Divorce rates are at a record high so

:04:01.:04:04.

getting married is no guarantee whatsoever staying together. I don't

:04:05.:04:09.

think he has done the judiciary any favours. No, they are out of touch.

:04:10.:04:15.

Of course, you got to be able to afford to get married falls to do

:04:16.:04:18.

that, you've got to have a job and people are now being told to stop

:04:19.:04:21.

moaning about migrants and find a job for themselves. Well, I'm

:04:22.:04:28.

slightly surprised to see Sir Stuart Rose, the former boss of Marks

:04:29.:04:32.

Spencer 's, talking about it in bold terms like this. Basically, he's

:04:33.:04:37.

saying, if not prepared to work as hard as foreign immigrants,

:04:38.:04:39.

Romanians, dimensions, you should expect not to a job, but his words

:04:40.:04:44.

ignore the facts that there's lots of people coming over from Eastern

:04:45.:04:49.

Europe, younger, they don't have the same family commitments as people

:04:50.:04:53.

here, all have families back home where it's cheaper to send money

:04:54.:04:56.

back home, so it's not a level playing field. To just brushed aside

:04:57.:05:01.

people 's concerns about living standards, being undercut in this

:05:02.:05:05.

way, which is what has happened in a lot of industries competently

:05:06.:05:11.

building work for example. I think it's a bit of a bubble. A lot of

:05:12.:05:15.

British workers have already taken quite a lot of pain, accepted lower

:05:16.:05:22.

wages sometimes. Accepted worse working conditions, to some degree.

:05:23.:05:26.

They've managed to keep their job and actually, when you read what

:05:27.:05:29.

they've said, what is actually saying is, the economy is going to

:05:30.:05:34.

do very well, go out and find a job because it will be easier to find a

:05:35.:05:39.

job now. Just saying that is fine. Yes, actually, I think we have

:05:40.:05:43.

turned a corner in the economy. Yes, I think 2014 is going to be a

:05:44.:05:47.

pretty strong year. But, why make that into some kind of... Are still

:05:48.:05:51.

millions more unemployed people out there. The economy may be recovering

:05:52.:05:59.

but anybody can get a job. I remember reporting during the

:06:00.:06:01.

construction of the Olympic site and there was lots of moaning about

:06:02.:06:04.

particularly in the East End of London from locals saying they

:06:05.:06:07.

weren't getting the jobs they were promised on the Olympic site and

:06:08.:06:10.

they were going to Eastern European 's, but when you look at some of the

:06:11.:06:16.

jobs, they were the low skilled jobs in the early days of the

:06:17.:06:20.

construction. What a lot of us for men and agencies were saying is

:06:21.:06:23.

British people weren't willing to take those jobs. Eastern European

:06:24.:06:27.

swear. Do you think we do suffer with snobbery about some of the you

:06:28.:06:31.

willing to take on? If that's the case, then I think young people are

:06:32.:06:36.

starting to be more realistic in their expectations about being in a

:06:37.:06:43.

job. If a passport to a better job, rather than being out of work

:06:44.:06:47.

altogether. I just don't know why we need to make this into an immigrants

:06:48.:06:51.

versus British people issue. That's the danger and it could end up

:06:52.:06:55.

heading that way. On the front page of the independent, stunning

:06:56.:07:01.

picture. This gorgeous girl. One of 2000 at the church in Soweto for the

:07:02.:07:06.

National Day of prayer for Nelson Mandela. Room for a story which

:07:07.:07:11.

takes forward a story we have been reporting today. The poorest pay the

:07:12.:07:16.

price for austerity. They are saying a significant number of either

:07:17.:07:23.

public sector workers or workers who have been contracted out into

:07:24.:07:28.

private sector like care workers, for example, are being paid so

:07:29.:07:33.

little now, even when you are in work you actually stay poor. And

:07:34.:07:37.

certainly, I have seen that with workers in the care sector. Pay is

:07:38.:07:44.

appallingly low. And by contracting the care work out from the local

:07:45.:07:48.

council, to private sector providers, the actual workers

:07:49.:07:53.

themselves are paid a lot less than they would be paid by the council.

:07:54.:07:56.

You know, it is an issue. I don't You know, it is an issue. I don t

:07:57.:08:01.

know what to do about it. This is the story... We've had a grim

:08:02.:08:06.

economy for three years. There are people. Been doing very well and

:08:07.:08:10.

people at the bottom doing really, really badly. Buried in the fine

:08:11.:08:16.

print of the Chancellor's autumn statement last week, was a graph

:08:17.:08:21.

which showed actually, the tax and benefit changes this government have

:08:22.:08:24.

brought in since the last election, mean the bottom 40% of people are

:08:25.:08:28.

worse off than they would otherwise have been and the next 50% above

:08:29.:08:32.

that are doing very nicely thank you very much. They then pile pane onto

:08:33.:08:37.

the top 10%, which are not arguing against, to try to make it look like

:08:38.:08:42.

the rich are doing their bit as well. I don't think things like that

:08:43.:08:50.

affect David Cameron. I think people accepted from Nick Clegg. He said we

:08:51.:08:55.

won't balance the books on the backs of the portals of that exacted what

:08:56.:08:59.

they have done. Things are becoming more expensive, particularly food.

:09:00.:09:03.

Salaries aren't going up. A problem with inflation. Next, hopefully,

:09:04.:09:04.

with inflation. Next, hopefully will be a lot better. Very briefly,

:09:05.:09:11.

sorry to put you on the spot, but do you feel more families will be

:09:12.:09:14.

struggling in retirement as well? Presumably, one of the things they

:09:15.:09:17.

do fall back on his pension payments. Yes, there has been an

:09:18.:09:22.

issue on pensions. And there will continue to be. Although pensioners

:09:23.:09:28.

have been probably better protected than some of the other areas of

:09:29.:09:33.

society, we started off from a very low base but there is definitely an

:09:34.:09:37.

issue with low paid workers, it s not clear whether these are

:09:38.:09:42.

part`time workers or not. There's another report around... Its

:09:43.:09:47.

underemployment. There's another report around from the Joseph

:09:48.:09:51.

Rowntree Foundation who show 6.7 Rowntree Foundation who show 6.7

:09:52.:09:58.

million people who are in poverty but working. Extraordinary. The idea

:09:59.:10:04.

that workplace, doesn't ring true. Onto the financial Times. Two very

:10:05.:10:10.

interesting stories on the front page. A remarkable image of the

:10:11.:10:18.

statue of Lenin being knocked down in the Ukraine. We haven't seen a

:10:19.:10:24.

protest this pic in the Ukraine since the Orange Revolution in

:10:25.:10:29.

Independance Square. Extraordinary pictures coming out this evening. A

:10:30.:10:35.

sinister development. The security services have launched a criminal

:10:36.:10:38.

investigation into activities aimed at overthrowing the government. I

:10:39.:10:41.

think we can all begin to imagine what that might involve, the grim

:10:42.:10:45.

news. Basically, they want to go into the EU. I think Russia is

:10:46.:10:48.

putting pressure on the Ukraine. into the EU. I think Russia is

:10:49.:10:50.

putting pressure on the Ukraine. I putting pressure on the Ukraine. I

:10:51.:10:53.

don't think it's about going into the EU but a sense of national

:10:54.:10:57.

identity as well. If they are closing up to Russia, it's too much

:10:58.:11:00.

like the old days. They want to sign a deal which would mean a closer

:11:01.:11:05.

deal with the EU. And Moscow went mental. This country has just hosted

:11:06.:11:16.

2012. Very scary. The other story, supermarkets want independent

:11:17.:11:22.

Scotland will pay more for food. Another foreign country if we're not

:11:23.:11:27.

careful. This is interesting because what is significant about this as

:11:28.:11:32.

it's the first time we have heard unnamed business organisation

:11:33.:11:36.

talking about the impact of independence. For various reasons,

:11:37.:11:39.

understandable, people are quite reluctant. Andy Murray doesn't want

:11:40.:11:44.

to say doesn't want to say doesn't want to see Scotland breakaway

:11:45.:11:47.

because he will get all sorts of flak from the Scottish Nationalists,

:11:48.:11:51.

but we have got various supermarket chains here, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons,

:11:52.:11:57.

Sainsbury's, adding their heads above the parapet and saying, look,

:11:58.:12:00.

at the moment, we factor in the extra transport costs for food and

:12:01.:12:04.

averaged across the UK. If Scotland goes independent, we will put up

:12:05.:12:08.

grocery prices and that's the kind of thing which will hit home. We

:12:09.:12:13.

will see a lot of headlines therefore the spokesman from the

:12:14.:12:15.

Scottish governance that was no reason for retail prices to rise,

:12:16.:12:18.

transferring the Panasonic to proposals for lower corporation tax

:12:19.:12:23.

and fuel duty as well. So thank you very much for that we have run out

:12:24.:12:26.

of time but we will be doing it again in one hour. Thank you both.

:12:27.:12:33.

But coming up next, on BBC News, it is Click.
