:00:00. > :00:00.for one matter. -- Juan Mata. It could be a brilliant day for the

:00:00. > :00:11.Industry Minister they look to retain the Ashes. That is all. -- it

:00:12. > :00:13.could be a brilliant day for the English women as they look to retail

:00:14. > :00:23.the Ashes. Hallow. Welcome to our look ahead to

:00:24. > :00:29.what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. Bring me are the political

:00:30. > :00:34.editor of the Daily Mirror and the political correspondent of the sun

:00:35. > :00:41.on Sunday. Many front pages are in. In the daily Telegraph, claims from

:00:42. > :00:45.Iain Duncan Smith that the coalition 's welfare reforms will make Britain

:00:46. > :00:50.great again. Pictures of protesters throwing petrol bombs in the centre

:00:51. > :00:54.of care. A striking image of anti-government demonstrators and

:00:55. > :00:58.police in the Ukraine. That is on the front of the Guardian. In the

:00:59. > :01:05.Daily Mail, a different story. It claims Nick Clegg is struggling to

:01:06. > :01:09.contain another sex scandal. That is after allegations against Nick

:01:10. > :01:13.Hancock. Markets are braced for a pre-election rise in interest rates

:01:14. > :01:19.at the drop in unemployment figures announced today. And the Metro,

:01:20. > :01:25.which you can get in 50 cities around the country, has views of

:01:26. > :01:35.parents being fined ?60 if children are late to school. I will stop

:01:36. > :01:42.benefit Street Britain. This is what has been reported. Iain Duncan Smith

:01:43. > :01:46.is saying that minutes released by the monetary policy committee

:01:47. > :01:51.suggested that tightening in the eligibility requirements for some

:01:52. > :01:54.state benefits might have led to an intensification of job searches.

:01:55. > :01:59.Basically, because of his benefit reforms, unemployment is going down.

:02:00. > :02:05.I am sure he will be suggesting that. I would like to look at the

:02:06. > :02:10.minutes in full. I thought this was the result of a fantastic economic

:02:11. > :02:15.boom the Government were supposed to be creating by letting house prices

:02:16. > :02:23.rocket in the south-east. This story comes off the back of the fantastic

:02:24. > :02:27.job figures out today. It is a really welcome fall in unemployment.

:02:28. > :02:33.What is not mentioned is the double sting in the tail. The same set of

:02:34. > :02:38.figures showed the value of peoples wages is still going down in real

:02:39. > :02:43.terms. Wages went up by only .9% in the year to November, which is half

:02:44. > :02:48.the rate of inflation. Further down the line, there is the prospect of

:02:49. > :02:53.an interest rate rise. The Bank of England has said that when

:02:54. > :02:55.unemployment hits 7% of the Bank of England has said that when

:02:56. > :03:07.unemployment hits 7%. To think about rate rises again. I goalposts. -- I

:03:08. > :03:20.suspect they will be moving the goalposts. It has been the biggest

:03:21. > :03:24.fall in unemployment, which is great news. That is what Iain Duncan Smith

:03:25. > :03:28.is highlighting in part in his speech. He is also saying the

:03:29. > :03:34.benefit reforms are transforming the country. He is the kind of the

:03:35. > :03:39.cuddly side of the benefit crackdown to George Osborne. Compared to

:03:40. > :03:48.George Osborne, who is the nasty side. He has always believed that

:03:49. > :03:51.changing the benefits actually transforms lives. That is the most

:03:52. > :03:56.important thing. People trapped on benefits, it is bad for them and it

:03:57. > :04:01.is bad for society. It is not just about fixing the benefits. It is

:04:02. > :04:08.about transforming lives. Most people would agree with that. We

:04:09. > :04:15.have Benefit Street in the headlines. The Channel 4 show has

:04:16. > :04:20.been very popular. It does not actually mention Benefit Street

:04:21. > :04:28.anywhere in the speech. He does go on to talk about these hidden

:04:29. > :04:33.ghettos that nobody sees. If you live on your father-in-law 's

:04:34. > :04:38.country estate, M Iain Duncan Smith, any get ministerial limo to work

:04:39. > :04:43.every day, you're not going to see it. Let's move on to the daily

:04:44. > :04:52.express. It is claiming that millions are still trapped in these

:04:53. > :05:00.ghettos. Craig, this is suggesting that Iain Duncan Smith has not gone

:05:01. > :05:04.far enough. It is from the exact same speech. A totally different

:05:05. > :05:08.reading of the exact speech. In Duncan Smith says that if people are

:05:09. > :05:14.trapped on benefits, at the very worst, it makes them turn to

:05:15. > :05:18.criminality. Iain Duncan Smith was someone who said he did not want to

:05:19. > :05:23.demonise people on benefits, except. He is making a link between benefits

:05:24. > :05:29.and criminality. I am aware of quite a few people who commit crimes who

:05:30. > :05:37.are on very decent salaries. I'm not quite sure why he is raising this.

:05:38. > :05:46.Is he definitely raising this or is this an extrapolation from the Daily

:05:47. > :05:51.Express he is saying the present system makes criminals out of those

:05:52. > :05:57.trapped in its clutches. Too many end up in the shadow economy or

:05:58. > :06:03.working cash in hand. He is not saying they are going out rioting, I

:06:04. > :06:08.he is saying that when you go into work you get penalised by the tax

:06:09. > :06:14.system and it is not worth people working. They end up doing a couple

:06:15. > :06:17.of shots behind the bar and taking cash in hand. That is a criminal

:06:18. > :06:23.offence. It might not be crime as we think of it but they are criminals.

:06:24. > :06:30.They would be a not more pleased with what the Daily Telegraph has

:06:31. > :06:37.written. We are going to stay with the daily express. Tories face

:06:38. > :06:43.backlash on EU migrants. There are dozens of Tory MPs plotting to rebel

:06:44. > :06:48.next week and two folk to try to put work permit restrictions on

:06:49. > :06:57.Bulgarians and Romanians migrates. -- and to work to try. Anyone who is

:06:58. > :07:02.prepared to get on a plane and change countries to look for a job

:07:03. > :07:08.on New Year's Day, deserves it, frankly. This is the immigration

:07:09. > :07:13.bill coming back, which they delayed through this parliamentary fudge

:07:14. > :07:18.before Christmas, precisely so that Nigel Mills, who put down this

:07:19. > :07:23.amendment which was supported by some Tories would no longer apply.

:07:24. > :07:31.That did not put them. We think it is coming next week. Must be dawning

:07:32. > :07:35.on David Cameron that he cannot win with these people. -- it must be

:07:36. > :07:51.dawning. He has encouraged Euroscepticism. He needs to do that

:07:52. > :07:55.with UKIP now, doesn't he? Let's move on. Several front pages

:07:56. > :08:01.carrying dramatic photographs of the clashes in Ukraine. In the daily

:08:02. > :08:08.Telegraph, there are events which are being described over there. Here

:08:09. > :08:14.is in flames. That is like a scene from Dante 's Inferno. In the

:08:15. > :08:19.Guardian, we go forward together to face bullets. The opposition has

:08:20. > :08:23.been meeting the President this evening and those talks did not get

:08:24. > :08:27.anywhere. The opposition leaders have said to their comrades, we are

:08:28. > :08:32.going to go back out onto the streets. That story could develop

:08:33. > :08:40.over the next few days and has in fact been dominating. We should

:08:41. > :08:45.explain it all started because the president was seen to push forward

:08:46. > :08:49.with this to take the country bit closer to the European Union. He

:08:50. > :09:02.decided not to do that. He decided to get closer to Moscow. Was it not

:09:03. > :09:08.a voluntary move? This is a serious point. It is on the doorstep of

:09:09. > :09:11.Europe or in Europe depending on geographical definition. It is

:09:12. > :09:21.serious stuff. People are getting killed. There is a bizarre impasse.

:09:22. > :09:24.They keep going into one square with demonstrators are congregating,

:09:25. > :09:29.clearing it out and letting them back in again. The demonstrations

:09:30. > :09:31.have developed over the past couple of days because the Government

:09:32. > :09:35.decided it would clamp down on people having a right to join

:09:36. > :09:39.together in the street and protest and stuff. A situation is

:09:40. > :09:44.developing. Let's go on to the Daily Mail. Further embarrassment, it

:09:45. > :09:51.seems, for the Liberal Democrats. A new sex storm shames the Lib Dems.

:09:52. > :09:56.That is the headline. This is a terrible week getting even worse for

:09:57. > :10:03.Nick Clegg. He needed this like a hole in the head. This is Mike

:10:04. > :10:07.Hancock, who had had the whip taken away from him but he is a Lib Dem

:10:08. > :10:15.councillor in Portsmouth. Some frankly horrific allegations that

:10:16. > :10:21.have come out in a report by a QC which is probably best not

:10:22. > :10:25.discussed. It comes after Lord Wren Arndt, the scandal which is less

:10:26. > :10:32.graphic than this but it does not paint Lib Dems in a particularly

:10:33. > :10:37.good light. These allegations have been floating around for almost four

:10:38. > :10:43.years. The party has failed to do anything about them. We must say

:10:44. > :10:49.there is a criminal case to answer. This report that was leaked today,

:10:50. > :10:59.into the allegations about Nick Hancock, the local Lib Dems voted to

:11:00. > :11:04.suppress it. I think there will be big questions asked about why Nick

:11:05. > :11:09.Clegg has not got involved in trying to sort this out beforehand. It

:11:10. > :11:17.comes of course as they are desperately trying to close down the

:11:18. > :11:20.Nick Reynold row. We saw the wife of Nick Clegg coming out today denying

:11:21. > :11:31.she was fuelling the problem. There is now an investigation into

:11:32. > :11:38.the investigation which could rumble on for 14 weeks. It could go on to

:11:39. > :11:43.the next election. So it is the leadership's handling of the crisis

:11:44. > :11:49.which is that the four here? They are trying to play catch up. In both

:11:50. > :11:53.of these cases, nothing happened. This is 2011. The Lord Rennard

:11:54. > :12:02.allegations are also fairly historic. It is now a case of it is

:12:03. > :12:06.all out in the open. It will rumble on and on and on, unfortunately for

:12:07. > :12:12.the Lib Dems. An interesting story on the front page of the Guardian,

:12:13. > :12:19.this is an exclusive and it is saying a repeat of Afghanistan or

:12:20. > :12:26.Iraq invasion ruled out for the war weary UK. This is an interesting

:12:27. > :12:31.story. What it seems to be saying is the top brass in the MoD who think

:12:32. > :12:36.not only is Britain very sick of intervention abroad, after Iraq and

:12:37. > :12:41.Afghanistan, but the changing make-up of Britain is also making us

:12:42. > :12:45.less prone to intervention. This comes at a time when people who

:12:46. > :12:51.think we should be intervening more abroad are pointing to Syria and the

:12:52. > :12:55.horrors happening there and saying this is why we cannot afford to

:12:56. > :13:00.stand back. It is a dilemma. Is it because there are more people from

:13:01. > :13:07.different countries and backgrounds. Exactly. It is not just it is the

:13:08. > :13:11.ball from areas where you might be taking military action, more so that

:13:12. > :13:19.it is the global outlook that there is. Any time you see a leak from the

:13:20. > :13:24.Ministry of Defence you have to wonder what the agenda is. This

:13:25. > :13:26.looks to me like either top brass or senior officials coming up with

:13:27. > :13:30.America and the new way of saying, if we say it is this reason,

:13:31. > :13:35.actually hides the fact that we cannot afford to do another

:13:36. > :13:41.Afghanistan or Iraq. The other thing is it comes on the day we find out

:13:42. > :13:45.another 1400 soldiers are getting their marching orders. Some fancy

:13:46. > :13:52.deflection there. So, the Guardian, you have been had. Thank you. You

:13:53. > :13:56.are going to be back in an hour's time for another spin around Fleet

:13:57. > :14:02.Street. Stay with us because at the top of the hour we will have much

:14:03. > :14:07.more on the biggest fall in people out of work for 14 years, according

:14:08. > :14:24.to the Office for National Statistics. Stay with us here, it

:14:25. > :14:32.will be an eventful Sportsday. Hello, I am Olly Foster. Here is

:14:33. > :14:33.what is coming up on a very eventful Sportsday. United pay the
