:00:00. > :00:00.southwest Chinese city of Kunming. Police are calling it a premeditated

:00:00. > :00:20.terrorist attack. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:21. > :00:25.to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are

:00:26. > :00:32.broadcaster David Akinsanya and author and journalist Shyama Peraya.

:00:33. > :00:38.Let's have a look at what the papers are saying. Tomorrow's front pages

:00:39. > :00:43.now. Vladimir Putin's approval of troop deployment in Ukraine is The

:00:44. > :00:46.Observer's main story. The same story takes up the Independent's

:00:47. > :00:53.front page, which captures a picture of Ukrainians singing their national

:00:54. > :00:56.anthem and asks: Where will it stop? Its main picture looks ahead to the

:00:57. > :01:03.Oscars tomorrow with a picture of the nominated actress, Cate

:01:04. > :01:07.Blanchett. But it's a different lead story for the Sunday Express, which

:01:08. > :01:10.turns to health. The paper says that health chiefs have slammed statins.

:01:11. > :01:14.It reports terrible side-effects. And The Mail on Sunday reports on

:01:15. > :01:22.internal strife in the Conservative party. The paper still finding time

:01:23. > :01:26.for other stories besides the Ukraine. Focusing on Ukraine for

:01:27. > :01:32.now. That picture on the front page of the Independent on Sunday and the

:01:33. > :01:40.headline that is on everyone's minds, where will it stop? I like

:01:41. > :01:44.this photograph. It reminds me of Russell Crowe in gladiator. It is a

:01:45. > :01:50.powerful picture. These three men are very powerful. No doubt they are

:01:51. > :01:54.probably fascists or something horrendous, but it is a very moving

:01:55. > :02:00.picture. It is one of those that will stick in the mind long after

:02:01. > :02:03.this dispute is settled. It is hard to know whether they are soldiers or

:02:04. > :02:12.not. They all seem to be wearing similar clothing. One of them is

:02:13. > :02:19.carrying a steel pole. One does wonder. Lots of the protesters armed

:02:20. > :02:25.themselves and wore military style uniforms. It is hard to tell. Behind

:02:26. > :02:36.them you can see several in normal clothes, all singing. And earlier

:02:37. > :02:42.tonight, you could hear it, you could hear people train. It is

:02:43. > :02:46.worrying times. The problem is, how far will Russia go? Is it going to

:02:47. > :02:50.be interesting because it is looking like America and Russia rather than

:02:51. > :02:55.just some internal thing with Ukraine. It is worrying times.

:02:56. > :03:00.Ukraine is a huge country with lots of people even though they do not

:03:01. > :03:04.hear much about it here. And lots of Russian speakers in the eastern

:03:05. > :03:09.Ukraine, they do not want to see blood shed in the Crimea, the health

:03:10. > :03:15.family there. It does not follow that there will be bloodshed. I find

:03:16. > :03:20.it interesting, the fears of the cold war, which suggests America has

:03:21. > :03:24.some sort of leveraged and I'm not sure what the American leveraged is.

:03:25. > :03:31.That is what the American -- what the Observer goes with. It seems to

:03:32. > :03:36.me that Russia is the gatekeeper now for Iran and Syria. It is about to

:03:37. > :03:43.become the gatekeeper for the Ukraine. Where is the Western clout

:03:44. > :03:48.that matches the Russian clout? In the Cold War there was parity in the

:03:49. > :03:52.power that each held. I do not understand where our power is in

:03:53. > :03:57.this game that is being played out, not just across what used to be the

:03:58. > :04:02.Soviet Union but the Middle East. What is interesting about this, it

:04:03. > :04:07.is not the cold war, we have all gone cold, because there was no hot

:04:08. > :04:13.to go with the cold. Do you believe in diplomacy? As long as Russia has

:04:14. > :04:18.a veto in the UN and can keep wishing things through, -- pushing

:04:19. > :04:25.things through, diplomacy does not count for much, except delays. It

:04:26. > :04:30.worked to a degree with Syria, but people argued it was too little, too

:04:31. > :04:38.late, but it did stop an escalation. It seems at the moment the Russians

:04:39. > :04:42.are saying, that Obama has been consulted by the way he spoke about

:04:43. > :04:47.it. That he was not as forthcoming as he could have been, he was been

:04:48. > :04:55.quite gentle, but they are taking it as an insult. Diplomacy can only go

:04:56. > :05:01.so far, as it did in Syria. Still an horrific amount of founding and loss

:05:02. > :05:07.of life. -- fighting. As you were saying, at the UN, Russia will just

:05:08. > :05:17.veto everything they want to say. Do you think that NATO is the answer?

:05:18. > :05:22.As you say, the UN are going to be stopped or the time I Russia. We all

:05:23. > :05:28.have depleted resources. Nobody has the money to spend on this. This is

:05:29. > :05:31.great in terms of news coverage, great to watch on television and

:05:32. > :05:37.reading the newspapers, but actually, it does not affect most of

:05:38. > :05:44.us. The ultimate result will affect us and at that point we can start

:05:45. > :05:50.thinking about how we respond. People just saw Ukraine as yet

:05:51. > :05:53.another revolution. There has been some fat league with protests. There

:05:54. > :06:00.will be interests when you are reading headlines like that in the

:06:01. > :06:06.Observer. We're going to stay with the Observer. They have got a story

:06:07. > :06:09.about the Labour Party, about a policy that all teenagers will have

:06:10. > :06:17.to study maths until the age of 18 and English. Labour wants this, it

:06:18. > :06:23.would bring us in line with other countries. A quarter of adults in

:06:24. > :06:30.England have the maths skills of a ten-year-old. I will hold my hand up

:06:31. > :06:34.and say that I1 of them. I quite good at mental arithmetic but I

:06:35. > :06:39.could not measure and elliptical curve. But that does not matter

:06:40. > :06:44.because I can work out what my shopping is going to cost. Some

:06:45. > :06:49.people will say that they get on perfectly well without maths. But

:06:50. > :06:52.they do not know what they are not achieving and getting and when they

:06:53. > :06:57.are being done out of something. I think this is important. I was once

:06:58. > :07:08.the governor of an further education college, and I think that these are

:07:09. > :07:11.key skills, particularly any technological world, where

:07:12. > :07:17.everything is on screen and written. These days, there is not much

:07:18. > :07:20.opportunity for a verbal exchange where you can explain what it is you

:07:21. > :07:24.need. You have to be a role to fill in a form on a screen and get what

:07:25. > :07:30.you need. If you are not basically literate and numerate, your

:07:31. > :07:33.disadvantage that so many levels, you are just pushed right out of the

:07:34. > :07:44.workforce, as well as socially and every other way. I don't think I

:07:45. > :07:50.would be able to force the kids I work with to continue with the

:07:51. > :07:56.subject like maths that they really find challenging. They would say, I

:07:57. > :08:00.can search online or use a calculator. My problem with maths

:08:01. > :08:07.was about the teaching of it. I did not like the maths teacher. He was

:08:08. > :08:10.someone who did not want to be around too much. As long as you have

:08:11. > :08:18.got the times tables and the basics, I think it is fine. Do you hear from

:08:19. > :08:23.kids that they would rather learn about maths that they are going to

:08:24. > :08:29.use every day? Just that they can solve problems at their fingertips,

:08:30. > :08:43.with a calculator or whatever. Let's move on. The Sunday Telegraph.

:08:44. > :08:47.Immigration policy must change. This coming from Liam Fox, hot off the

:08:48. > :08:53.heels of those immigration figures which have not helped David

:08:54. > :08:58.Cameron's case. Because of the promises he made. He was going to

:08:59. > :09:04.cut down on the numbers. Most people know that political parties have not

:09:05. > :09:11.got a clue what is happening with immigration. You just don't know

:09:12. > :09:14.what is going on. Just as they were wrong about the amount of Polish

:09:15. > :09:18.people coming to this country, there were more than came before. There

:09:19. > :09:25.were more that came before. Then after. I just think that we haven't

:09:26. > :09:28.got control of it. And I don't think politicians are going to be able to

:09:29. > :09:35.solve this problem. It is a problem of being a former colonial leader.

:09:36. > :09:40.People want to come to England. Unless we picked the right people,

:09:41. > :09:44.we were saying earlier on, we need children to pay for our pensions in

:09:45. > :09:47.future, but again, if you talk to people who live in areas where they

:09:48. > :09:53.cannot get an interview with Doctor, go to the local hospital

:09:54. > :09:58.accident and urgency, lots of people are frustrated and blaming

:09:59. > :10:02.emigration. With Nigel Farage, who has done lots this week to make his

:10:03. > :10:05.party more acceptable, people are going to vote with UKIP because they

:10:06. > :10:16.are being the most honest about it. What Liam Fox is saying, it is time

:10:17. > :10:22.for David Cameron to show a positive vision. And I... Does he mean tough?

:10:23. > :10:26.I suppose he does mean tough. The trouble is there is such a confusion

:10:27. > :10:34.because we can't decide if it is colour we object to, whether it is

:10:35. > :10:39.numbers we object to, education object to? Women in the workplace

:10:40. > :10:53.under fire as mothers face rising resentment? It is reclick dus. --

:10:54. > :11:01.ridiculous. I think younger women have always resented older women.

:11:02. > :11:06.Actually, the reason that she is a producer is because she has got six

:11:07. > :11:10.kids and she has got some understanding of what it is to be a

:11:11. > :11:15.person out there. Two-thirds, who are not parents, said they are

:11:16. > :11:19.expected to work longer hours than colleagues with children. Colleagues

:11:20. > :11:25.with children are getting special privileges? If you are somebody who

:11:26. > :11:28.doesn't have children, you know, and you are in the workplace and you

:11:29. > :11:32.know that people are getting maternity, paternity and all these

:11:33. > :11:36.things, you know, even people, other people who just don't have children,

:11:37. > :11:40.you can see that if you are a person who doesn't have children, you lose

:11:41. > :11:45.out. It is encouraging people to have a family and still have the

:11:46. > :11:52.career to work hard for? I think a lot of people are saying you can't

:11:53. > :11:58.do both. The people who don't have children lose out because they get

:11:59. > :12:00.holidays? They don't have to keep putting into the pot through

:12:01. > :12:03.childcare, through education, through the health of those

:12:04. > :12:08.children, you think that's a joy for people? It is a choice you make. It

:12:09. > :12:15.is a very positive choice about community and society and far from

:12:16. > :12:19.pillorying the workers who raise children to be workers rather than

:12:20. > :12:24.the workless who raise children to be workless and live on benefits,

:12:25. > :12:28.actually we wou have a better society.

:12:29. > :12:34.Before we go, I want to give our viewers a glimpse of what is on all

:12:35. > :12:41.the back pages. This is on The Mail's pack pages. Alan Pardew

:12:42. > :12:46.making an unconditional apology after the plough with the Irish

:12:47. > :12:55.mid-fielder. We will have more on that at 1 # 11.30pm. Stay with us.

:12:56. > :13:03.The international community is calling for calm as Russia approves

:13:04. > :13:28.the use of troops in Crimea. Coming up next, it is Reporters.

:13:29. > :13:30.Welcome to Reporters. From here,
