:00:00. > :00:00.statement on the case of three-year-old Mikaeel. With the let

:00:07. > :00:19.you know when that starts. -- we will let you know.

:00:20. > :00:26.Welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us

:00:27. > :00:29.tomorrow. With me are Yasmin Alibhai-Brown from the Independent

:00:30. > :00:36.and Eleanor Mills from the Sunday Times.

:00:37. > :00:48.We start with the Independent on Sunday. A report on leaks connecting

:00:49. > :01:01.the police and News International was buried. Gamers Janet Smith will

:01:02. > :01:04.say that Jimmy Savile's behaviour was recognised by BBC executives,

:01:05. > :01:10.but they took no action. The Sunday Times reports that Prince

:01:11. > :01:17.Charles will share official duties on the beaches of Normandy this

:01:18. > :01:19.summer when the nation marks the 60th anniversary of the D-day

:01:20. > :01:27.landings. The mail says that the Prime

:01:28. > :01:30.Minister intends to stop printing welfare literature in any language

:01:31. > :01:37.other than English. Let's start with that story on the

:01:38. > :01:45.mail on Sunday. The headline, speak in English, or lose benefits. This

:01:46. > :01:50.drives me nuts! English is my fourth language. I did not even speak it

:01:51. > :01:57.until I was eight. This idea that unless you learn English you some of

:01:58. > :02:02.criminal. What if Spain decided to do this to the Britons living in

:02:03. > :02:13.Andalusia. Would that be all right? Eleanor? This is another one of

:02:14. > :02:19.those lurches to the right to try to put off the UKIP tendency, isn't it?

:02:20. > :02:23.This is pure politics. This is responding to the popularity of

:02:24. > :02:27.things like benefits straight and the opinion polls that everyone

:02:28. > :02:33.thinks we should be cracking down on welfare and that people think it is

:02:34. > :02:38.too easy for people to get benefits. This is a knee jerk political

:02:39. > :02:42.reaction to that. We would want it to happen to Britons living in

:02:43. > :02:50.Spain, Italy or France. There would be an outcry if those countries had

:02:51. > :02:57.these sorts of knee jerk policies? I completely understand, Yasmin. But I

:02:58. > :03:03.also think that there are people who come to England and claim our

:03:04. > :03:07.benefits. You have to ask at some point, shall be endlessly spending

:03:08. > :03:11.money who have no railings to this place except for the fact that they

:03:12. > :03:18.have wound here -- wound up here as economic migrants. That is so wrong.

:03:19. > :03:24.Maybe that is a way of doing it. I'm not saying... If you go into

:03:25. > :03:29.schools, school after school will tell you, I'd even this government

:03:30. > :03:32.admitted it ten days ago, some of the top achieving schools are

:03:33. > :03:38.achieving high results because migrant children, who don't speak in

:03:39. > :03:42.-- English have gone there and work so hard that they have raised

:03:43. > :03:48.standards. So can we stop punishing people who speak other languages? I

:03:49. > :03:52.agree with you. I am the governor of a local primary school which has

:03:53. > :03:56.over 50% of children who do not speaking this as a first language.

:03:57. > :04:00.And they do incredibly well. In London, where we have most

:04:01. > :04:04.immigrants, we have the best schools. There is an immigrant

:04:05. > :04:09.culture which values education. That is not say that we should have an

:04:10. > :04:15.open door policy everybody who comes here not speaking English and wants

:04:16. > :04:19.to claim benefits. Onto the Observer, serious topics

:04:20. > :04:32.with the headline, revealed, how Savile abused up to 1000 on BBC

:04:33. > :04:39.premises. This is Dame Janet Smith, who was a former Court of Appeal

:04:40. > :04:45.judge who previously led the enquiry into Harold Shipman. She has led a

:04:46. > :04:50.report into the proclivities of Jimmy Savile. She is saying probably

:04:51. > :04:56.there were 1000 people abuse at the BBC in dressing rooms and green

:04:57. > :05:02.rooms. That allegedly BBC executives knew about it and did nothing. The

:05:03. > :05:07.most chilling phrase, every chat -- every chance he had, he took it.

:05:08. > :05:13.There was never a quiet day for Jimmy Savile. That is chilling. And

:05:14. > :05:19.to be fair, it sounds as if it is revolving around a one source. And I

:05:20. > :05:23.commented from the BBC press office, we will not be commenting on the

:05:24. > :05:29.article. We will be responding to the review when it is published.

:05:30. > :05:36.Therefore, that is the situation at the BBC at the moment. It wasn't

:05:37. > :05:41.just Savile, though, was it? The Hull City were tall thing, it came

:05:42. > :05:50.out in a letter to the police. I took a letter that the BBC -- that

:05:51. > :05:54.someone wrote to me about the BBC and that is the first time anybody

:05:55. > :05:58.thought about what Stuart Hall had been getting away with. It was not

:05:59. > :06:04.just the BBC, the whole of our society seems to have colluded in

:06:05. > :06:13.ignoring these victims. There have been these high-profile court cases

:06:14. > :06:16.about every high-profile chap from the 80s, the entire cast of

:06:17. > :06:23.characters from my childhood on trial for the most horrendous

:06:24. > :06:33.thing! And all deny it. Yes, but it is not looking good. Onto another

:06:34. > :06:38.story with the Observer. This one is the main photograph story. Richard

:06:39. > :06:46.Harris, the former special adviser to the Liberal leader Nick Clegg,

:06:47. > :06:50.talks about her disgust about how the party has handled the Lord

:06:51. > :06:59.Rennard harassment case. -- Bridget Harris. I find this, not shocking,

:07:00. > :07:05.but is if we are back in some 18th century, or something. This is

:07:06. > :07:11.supposed to be the modern, nice guy party. Liberal party. What is

:07:12. > :07:21.stopping... Apparently, it is the Lib Dem peer 's, and I can believe

:07:22. > :07:28.that, who are starving Nick on this. He was quite robust, as much as he

:07:29. > :07:33.could be. I think he was in a corner and he had to do something. But I

:07:34. > :07:42.notice that the laws come together. It is a club. It is up to Nick Clegg

:07:43. > :07:48.to say that this is wrong. Lord Rennard has denied all of it. And he

:07:49. > :07:57.was cleared by the commission that Nick Clegg setup. That is not enough

:07:58. > :08:00.for Yasmin! The women you are coming out now are disappointed and saying

:08:01. > :08:04.they want an apology. I don't think women make these things up because

:08:05. > :08:10.they haven't got enough washing-up to do. It is very hard to take

:08:11. > :08:17.npower. I wasn't suggesting that. -- to take on power. There was a great

:08:18. > :08:22.deal of theory that this chap had got away with it and he seems to be

:08:23. > :08:27.coming back into the fold. -- there was a great deal of anger. Bridget

:08:28. > :08:33.Harris is saying that she doesn't want to be part of a party that

:08:34. > :08:37.allows this go on. The Liberal Democrats have seven female MPs and

:08:38. > :08:41.while they carry on treating women in this way, they are unlikely to

:08:42. > :08:45.get more. It puts of women going into public life and this -- and we

:08:46. > :08:54.need more of them. This is a disaster. The quote from Bridget

:08:55. > :09:03.Harris is, this is a classic Lib Dem farce. Well, she should know! It is

:09:04. > :09:13.tough on Nick Clegg as well. It is tough, but this is when... He often

:09:14. > :09:17.becomes Nick Clegg, I can be very authorities -- very authoritative.

:09:18. > :09:23.This is time for him to do it. It shows him in a bad light unfairly.

:09:24. > :09:26.These are not his values. It was Nick Clegg who said that they would

:09:27. > :09:32.make the commission look into it, and the problem is that if you let

:09:33. > :09:37.the commission direct and they come up with a decision that you do not

:09:38. > :09:44.like, you are in trouble. It is like Cameron and 11 as an enquiry. It

:09:45. > :09:47.seems like the easiest political enquiry -- the easiest political

:09:48. > :09:57.decision to leave it to an enquiry, but you should make them yourselves

:09:58. > :09:59.-- make your decisions yourselves. Whatever the actuality, there is the

:10:00. > :10:07.perception that these women are making complaints, even if they did

:10:08. > :10:12.not happen, these are the perceptions. Perceptions are very

:10:13. > :10:17.important. There was enough evidence that bad things were going on. As a

:10:18. > :10:26.leader, he should have said that should not be going on. Just to

:10:27. > :10:33.repeat that any allegations have been strenuously denied.

:10:34. > :10:38.Onto the Sunday Times. The headline, Queen and child star to

:10:39. > :10:43.job share. Eleanor, the subheading merge staff teams to begin this

:10:44. > :10:50.week. -- Queen and Charles to job share. They are basically saying

:10:51. > :10:52.that the Queen is finding longwall travel exhausting. Prince Charles

:10:53. > :10:59.went to the Commonwealth conference. It seemed like Prince

:11:00. > :11:02.Charles will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. We discovered that we

:11:03. > :11:08.will not call it a Regency, because that would cause constitutional

:11:09. > :11:12.issues. But Charles will be doing a lots more. Camilla has been

:11:13. > :11:16.shadowing the Queen in not more. She is 88, she has not been well and

:11:17. > :11:21.this is the beginning of a shift. Charles will be taking over quite a

:11:22. > :11:27.lot of her roles. I think it is a momentous moment. Julie six, when

:11:28. > :11:40.they go for the D-day landings in France, June the 6th, will be the

:11:41. > :11:42.passing of the bat. Some comments in from our royal correspondent, he

:11:43. > :11:48.says that we have known the communication teams are being named

:11:49. > :11:53.-- are being merged and Prince Charles is taking on more. The

:11:54. > :11:58.newspaper's line that the Queen's visit to the D-day landing site may

:11:59. > :12:03.be the Queen's final trip, he is very sceptical about. Yasmin, trying

:12:04. > :12:10.to get you excited in a royal story is eat -- is not easy. I am not

:12:11. > :12:16.going to be excited. Why do you have this on your front page? It is not a

:12:17. > :12:21.front-page! A job share between two privileged people. I am sorry, I am

:12:22. > :12:32.a Republican. Can I be excused? Know! -- no, you can't! On the basis

:12:33. > :12:38.that news is what people are interested in... Something serious,

:12:39. > :12:44.yes. But a job share between the monarchy in the air is not a big

:12:45. > :12:49.story. There will be people shouting at their televisions in support and

:12:50. > :12:53.against. But the Queen has insisted that she will go on and not abdicate

:12:54. > :13:02.and this is the first sign that she is maybe feeling her age.

:13:03. > :13:08.Onto the Sunday Times's second story. Sugar watchdog work for

:13:09. > :13:20.Coca-Cola. This is a proper front-page story. I'm sure it

:13:21. > :13:24.carries on. It is depressing that one of the country's leading

:13:25. > :13:29.nutritional experts, tasked by the government to propose new ways of

:13:30. > :13:35.instructing people not to have too much sweet stuff because it is very

:13:36. > :13:42.bad for you, is a paid adviser to Coca-Cola and Mars. I find this

:13:43. > :13:48.utterly depressing. He gets money from Coca-Cola and advises them at

:13:49. > :13:59.board level. Monthly. Sorry, for Mars. And cocoa -- Coca-Cola fund

:14:00. > :14:02.his Ms -- funds his research. This is happening everywhere. Academic

:14:03. > :14:11.life is now is infiltrated because of cuts and so on... Well it's

:14:12. > :14:16.funded... We are losing that ethical space between commercial interest

:14:17. > :14:19.and academic neutrality. Someone in the Government should have said,

:14:20. > :14:24.hang on, this is a conflict of interest, you are can't advise us on

:14:25. > :14:30.sugar and Mars and coke coalament We are -- Coca-Cola. We are living in a

:14:31. > :14:34.time where everything is sponsored. We no longer have it in politics,

:14:35. > :14:39.academics. That's really dangerous. In America it's much worse, by the

:14:40. > :14:43.way. It's all incredibly powerful sugar lobby. The last couple of

:14:44. > :14:49.weeks people saying sugar is the new tobacco. I'm not an expert on the

:14:50. > :14:53.science of the health claims for sugar or against, but there's a very

:14:54. > :14:58.strong, big business lobby, which has massive financial interests in

:14:59. > :15:04.keeping our food pumped up with cheap sugar. A huge industry. With

:15:05. > :15:07.regards to the comments, from the Times, then, defend your stance.

:15:08. > :15:11.You've got that as a story on the front page, but it's small in

:15:12. > :15:14.comparison to the main story about the Queen and Prince Charles. I

:15:15. > :15:19.think they're both jolly good stories. A lot of, probably in terms

:15:20. > :15:23.of selling newspapers, the Queen and Charles are a good headline. That

:15:24. > :15:27.will go around the world. What is, do you think people don't know that

:15:28. > :15:33.Charles is now taking up much more stuff that the Queen isn't doing? In

:15:34. > :15:36.what sense is this a surprising story for anyone? I think it is

:15:37. > :15:40.surprising because the Queen has been so adamant that she wasn't

:15:41. > :15:46.going to do it. Slowly, in the last six or seven months, even I, turn

:15:47. > :15:51.away, have noticed that Charles and Camilla have been doing many more

:15:52. > :15:59.official functions. And Prince William. Yes. All of them. , there's

:16:00. > :16:03.an abundance of stories, Harry coming out of flying apaches. Yes

:16:04. > :16:06.taking a desk job. Coming back to London. William back in London.

:16:07. > :16:09.There's a sense of the new generation taking over at the

:16:10. > :16:13.Palace. That is important. The Queen's been a massive figurehead

:16:14. > :16:18.for a large part of the globe for a long time. She's not going to do

:16:19. > :16:22.that, that is a big story. Whether you're a republican or not, she's

:16:23. > :16:26.massive news. The sugar thing is completely crucial and very

:16:27. > :16:30.important. It's on the front page too along with two other very good

:16:31. > :16:35.stories. Enough! And fantastic stuff inside too. That's enough selling.

:16:36. > :16:43.You completely scuppered your OBE chances. You know I sent mine back.

:16:44. > :16:48.I did. You had to mention that. You did? I sent mine back. She's had the

:16:49. > :16:53.call and she said no. I sent the thing back. I took it and then sent

:16:54. > :17:00.it back. It's the past. I thought you were a rerepublican. We are

:17:01. > :17:07.waiting for the police statements in Scotland about the three-year-old

:17:08. > :17:12.Mikaeel Kular and that statement by police, was due to happen outside

:17:13. > :17:19.Police Scotland headquarters. That was due about five or so minutes

:17:20. > :17:22.ago. That hasn't actually begun yet. We could perhaps maybe talk to

:17:23. > :17:24.Robert Hall, who's our reporter who
