:00:00. > :00:00.charges in Germany. And Mauricio Pochettino's future
:00:00. > :00:16.with the club. That's in Sportsday after the papers.
:00:17. > :00:22.Good to see they are keeping hydrated at the BBC sports centre.
:00:23. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:27. > :00:28.bringing us tomorrow. With me are Paul Johnson, deputy editor of The
:00:29. > :00:31.Guardian, and entrepreneur Shazia Awan. Tomorrow's front pages. We
:00:32. > :00:34.start with the Daily Telegraph. It claims that the Chancellor's planned
:00:35. > :00:37.minimum wage rise is aimed at winning Labour votes. But business
:00:38. > :00:40.leaders fear it may put jobs at risk.
:00:41. > :00:45.That call by the Chancellor for an above-inflation increase in the
:00:46. > :00:51.minimum wage makes the lead in the financial times.
:00:52. > :00:58.The Express says homeowners can look forward to more soaring prices,
:00:59. > :01:06.adding ?25,000 to the average property value.
:01:07. > :01:14.And a starving child in a refugee camp in Damascus. . And Dame Judi
:01:15. > :01:21.Dench and Cate Blanchett go head to head at the Oscars.
:01:22. > :01:27.Several front pages are focusing on the Chancellor's ideas for the
:01:28. > :01:31.minimum wage. The Daily Telegraph says the announcement is an attempt
:01:32. > :01:36.to win Labour votes at the next election.
:01:37. > :01:40.A bit of a turn-up isn't it that we've now got a Conservative
:01:41. > :01:43.Chancellor championing an above-average increase for the
:01:44. > :01:48.minimum wage? That's a bit of a turn-up. It is a theatrical moment,
:01:49. > :01:52.a dramatic moment. It endorses what somebody in power can do. It is not
:01:53. > :01:57.a pledge, because the Low Pay Commission have to endorse this. But
:01:58. > :02:00.this is meant to do two things. One, it is meant to endorse George
:02:01. > :02:04.Osborne's ability to use this catchphrase, which is worn and
:02:05. > :02:09.irritates many people, "We are all in it together." He can say I'm
:02:10. > :02:14.looking at the bottom of the poor working people, as well as those at
:02:15. > :02:20.the top. But it also says, is I can outflank Labour on this. Shazia, we
:02:21. > :02:23.must mention it, as you did stand as a Conservative candidate in one of
:02:24. > :02:29.the constituencies they were fighting. What's happening within
:02:30. > :02:34.the Conservative Party as far as you can tell? A few years ago they were
:02:35. > :02:39.saying no, the minimum wage is a terrible idea, it will cost jobs,
:02:40. > :02:43.and it hasn't. Perhaps it is rather a cynical look at it from my point
:02:44. > :02:47.of view but it seems that all the main parties are gearing up for a
:02:48. > :02:53.May 2015 general election, and all of a sudden these things are being
:02:54. > :02:58.pushed out there. . Ed Miliband is making a speech tomorrow about the
:02:59. > :03:02.economy. I just think it is that time where all of the parties are
:03:03. > :03:10.trying to rally support however they can. This rise from ?6.31 to ?7, you
:03:11. > :03:16.could look at it the other way as a business owner and think, is this
:03:17. > :03:21.going to put a strain on the money that I have within my business, and
:03:22. > :03:26.could it lead to job losses in the long term? That's what the CBI have
:03:27. > :03:32.come out with today. Would it really entice Labour voters to the
:03:33. > :03:36.Conservatives? I think it makes the Conservative Party a warmer and more
:03:37. > :03:44.acceptable image. It was meant to grab the headlines, as Shazia says,
:03:45. > :03:48.on the eve of a big speech by Ed Miliband. But one of the other
:03:49. > :03:57.principal problems of this is we could see this being outflanked. The
:03:58. > :04:03.living wage for instance is set at ?8.80. That's voluntary but one of
:04:04. > :04:10.the biggest proponents of that is one Boris Johnson. Coventry council
:04:11. > :04:15.has started doing that. Can we really continue with the minimum
:04:16. > :04:21.wage as it is when to the taxpayer there is an enormous expense of
:04:22. > :04:25.having to pay people in work these benefits? Nobody can survive on ?7
:04:26. > :04:29.an hour if they are working full time. You can't cover the basics
:04:30. > :04:36.with that. It is a tricky issue. George Osborne is trying to appear
:04:37. > :04:40.as warm and fuzzy as he can by trying to address this. The real
:04:41. > :04:47.struggle that the cost of living has risen so fast before wages have seen
:04:48. > :04:52.a rise. 2008 was the last time we saw a significant change there. The
:04:53. > :04:58.idea of sharing the recovery with everybody. Let's look at the
:04:59. > :05:07.Guardian. NSA, this is the American National Security Agency, gathers
:05:08. > :05:10.200 million texts a day. This is a story that the Guardian's had mile
:05:11. > :05:16.age out of with the information that you got from Edward Snowden. Tell us
:05:17. > :05:18.how this works. What's the point of gathering 200 million texts a day.
:05:19. > :05:25.It is a ridiculous amount of information. It is an extraordinary
:05:26. > :05:31.story. This is Operation Dish Fire, which is mounted by the Americans.
:05:32. > :05:37.Basically this says it can collect untargeted and unwarranted items.
:05:38. > :05:43.200 million texts a day. Rather creepily, 800,000 credit card
:05:44. > :05:50.transactions a day. These are targeted by the NSA abroad. Some of
:05:51. > :05:59.this information is passed back and is at the use of GCHQ. That on the
:06:00. > :06:04.surface would be illegal. GCHQ say no, we are restricted here and
:06:05. > :06:10.haven't gone outside the law. I want to know who signed a paper to say
:06:11. > :06:16.this is legal. For the first time we've had a telecoms company in
:06:17. > :06:20.Britain, a very big global company - Vodafone - are saying on the surface
:06:21. > :06:25.we are really shocked by what's happening. On the surface it doesn't
:06:26. > :06:28.look legal to us and we want to meet the Government next week to discuss
:06:29. > :06:34.this as soon as possible. This is a story you've mentioned Shazia that
:06:35. > :06:38.the NSA was on the front page as. Are people still interested in this
:06:39. > :06:43.It is a difficult one. There's so much mileage in this story. It seems
:06:44. > :06:48.to have been going on and on. I don't think we've seen the the end
:06:49. > :06:54.of it, because it is such a blatant invasion of peop's privacy. But it
:06:55. > :07:03.is the metadata, it is about the traffic that moves back and forth...
:07:04. > :07:09.And what can be taken from that. It is not a content. The you don't need
:07:10. > :07:16.the continent necessarily if you've got the metadata. Tomorrow if Barack
:07:17. > :07:20.Obama replies to his NSA panel, he wants to hake this a global event.
:07:21. > :07:23.He is holding a press conference, he's been in touch with David
:07:24. > :07:26.Cameron over what he's going to say. A press conference at 4 o'clock
:07:27. > :07:31.tomorrow, because he's so worried about the reactions in Europe
:07:32. > :07:36.particularly, trying to explain why the NSA spied on Angela Merkel, on
:07:37. > :07:41.heads of state, on the EU, on EU commissioners and on charities. But
:07:42. > :07:45.they are exactly the people you would expect to be spied on rather
:07:46. > :07:51.than the likes of us. I don't think the Germans have reacted in the same
:07:52. > :07:56.way! The Mail has a campaign to look inside the secret courts that can
:07:57. > :08:02.lead to children being taken from their parents, or older people being
:08:03. > :08:07.forced into care homes. They are saying victory at last. Decisions
:08:08. > :08:13.will be open to public scrutiny. The Mail claiming a bit of a success
:08:14. > :08:18.here Shazia. It is odd that we pride ourselves on a judicial system which
:08:19. > :08:22.is tremendously open and yet in this part of the courts, we know precious
:08:23. > :08:26.little about what goes on. Absolutely. I find it strange that
:08:27. > :08:35.decisions about something as important as vital as children
:08:36. > :08:39.staying with their families or not canner or whether they are going to
:08:40. > :08:43.be put into care aren't in the open, and everything is done in a cloak
:08:44. > :08:49.and dagger way. It is time that things came more out into the open.
:08:50. > :08:53.So that people involved in these decisions, councils and social
:08:54. > :08:59.workers, will have to be more answerable. It is laudable. Open
:09:00. > :09:06.justice demands the publicity here. I think it is admirable what the
:09:07. > :09:11.Mail's done and to secure victory is terrific. The Mail doing something
:09:12. > :09:25.admirable, wow! I never thought I would hear that. From a Guardian
:09:26. > :09:27.man, that's a first. They have a focus on people trapped by the
:09:28. > :09:34.fighting in Syria. This is a picture of a little girl who, incredibly,
:09:35. > :09:38.died shortly after this photograph was taken. Looking at her conditions
:09:39. > :09:43.there, it isn't really a surprise. She lost her battle to cling to
:09:44. > :09:47.life. The image of her face is becoming the symbol of a wider
:09:48. > :09:51.nightmare. You wonder what we have achieved with the chemical weapons
:09:52. > :09:57.declaration in Syria and whether that has won a great deal of fruit
:09:58. > :10:01.for the people caught up in it. This is an extraordinary front page. It
:10:02. > :10:08.is a haunting picture. Sometimes, on occasions like this, a picture like
:10:09. > :10:11.this portrays that individual suffering, especially of a child,
:10:12. > :10:20.and it will gather momentum around it. When you read this story, you go
:10:21. > :10:24.back to that debate. Britain has given ?500 million, and our
:10:25. > :10:29.government is during proud of that, to help the refugees. But there is
:10:30. > :10:39.another debate to say, shouldn't we take in more refugees? It is a
:10:40. > :10:46.difficult place to get to Britain from Syria. Shouldn't we be taking
:10:47. > :10:53.more in? There is a real danger of destabilising the area around Jordan
:10:54. > :10:57.and Lebanon. It might encourage us to give more money ourselves as
:10:58. > :11:02.individuals, but diplomatically and politically, you wonder where it is
:11:03. > :11:06.going to go. This is such a haunting picture and a classic example of a
:11:07. > :11:09.picture speaking a thousand words. Anyone who looks at this certainly
:11:10. > :11:16.can't ignore it. It will reignite the debate about whether we should
:11:17. > :11:20.open up our borders more to these people. Let's move on to the Daily
:11:21. > :11:25.Express. Another of its favourite subjects, house prices. Apparently,
:11:26. > :11:29.they are going to soar by ?25,000. You wonder who this is helping. If
:11:30. > :11:34.you are trying to get a foot on the ladder, you will struggle if prices
:11:35. > :11:41.are going up like this. Absolutely. Particularly in London, presses are
:11:42. > :11:45.through the roof. It makes it very difficult for young people to get a
:11:46. > :11:52.foot on the housing ladder. Even with these different schemes that
:11:53. > :11:57.are around to help people. We keep coming back to the problem that not
:11:58. > :12:02.enough houses are being built. Supply and a are not working. The
:12:03. > :12:07.rental market is under pressure. This concept of the average house
:12:08. > :12:10.price is nonsense. The geographical differences, you have got London
:12:11. > :12:18.acting completely differently. There are vast regional differentiation
:12:19. > :12:23.is. The maths don't add up. Let's look at one of the other stories in
:12:24. > :12:27.the Daily Telegraph. Women leave motherhood too late, warns medical
:12:28. > :12:33.chief. You are brave person to that, aren't you? Ahad teacher a few years
:12:34. > :12:37.ago suggested it in a speech to young women. Don't think you can
:12:38. > :12:42.have it all, because you might come unstuck. Dame Sally Davies says the
:12:43. > :12:49.average age of the first-time mother in the UK is now 30, the oldest in
:12:50. > :12:54.the world, tied with Germany. She goes on to say that women are now
:12:55. > :13:00.seeking an education. Some of them are travelling, some are having
:13:01. > :13:05.careers. That may be behind this. It probably is, but that doesn't alter
:13:06. > :13:10.the fact that if you want to have a family at 40, you might struggle. It
:13:11. > :13:14.might be medically difficult at 40 to have a baby, but then it might be
:13:15. > :13:20.medically difficult for some women to have a baby at 21. I am very
:13:21. > :13:23.surprised at this article and her views, because it is a very
:13:24. > :13:28.old-fashioned viewpoint, saying that women are leaving motherhood too
:13:29. > :13:33.late. Women are having an education and a career of their own. Why can't
:13:34. > :13:37.we have it all? All I know is that when women have them, it is
:13:38. > :13:42.exhausting. You will both be back with us at 11:30pm to look at the
:13:43. > :13:46.stories making the front pages. Stay with us, because at 11 o'clock, we
:13:47. > :14:06.are hoping to speak to Chiwetel Ejiofor, the Oscar-nominated star of
:14:07. > :14:07.12 Years A Slave. Coming up next, Sportsday. Welcome to
