southwest Chinese city of Kunming. Police are calling it a premeditated | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
terrorist attack. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
broadcaster David Akinsanya and author and journalist Shyama Peraya. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Let's have a look at what the papers are saying. Tomorrow's front pages | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
now. Vladimir Putin's approval of troop deployment in Ukraine is The | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Observer's main story. The same story takes up the Independent's | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
front page, which captures a picture of Ukrainians singing their national | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
anthem and asks: Where will it stop? Its main picture looks ahead to the | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Oscars tomorrow with a picture of the nominated actress, Cate | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
Blanchett. But it's a different lead story for the Sunday Express, which | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
turns to health. The paper says that health chiefs have slammed statins. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
It reports terrible side-effects. And The Mail on Sunday reports on | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
internal strife in the Conservative party. The paper still finding time | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
for other stories besides the Ukraine. Focusing on Ukraine for | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
now. That picture on the front page of the Independent on Sunday and the | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
headline that is on everyone's minds, where will it stop? I like | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
this photograph. It reminds me of Russell Crowe in gladiator. It is a | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
powerful picture. These three men are very powerful. No doubt they are | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
probably fascists or something horrendous, but it is a very moving | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
picture. It is one of those that will stick in the mind long after | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
this dispute is settled. It is hard to know whether they are soldiers or | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
not. They all seem to be wearing similar clothing. One of them is | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
carrying a steel pole. One does wonder. Lots of the protesters armed | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
themselves and wore military style uniforms. It is hard to tell. Behind | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
them you can see several in normal clothes, all singing. And earlier | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
tonight, you could hear it, you could hear people train. It is | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
worrying times. The problem is, how far will Russia go? Is it going to | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
be interesting because it is looking like America and Russia rather than | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
just some internal thing with Ukraine. It is worrying times. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Ukraine is a huge country with lots of people even though they do not | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
hear much about it here. And lots of Russian speakers in the eastern | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Ukraine, they do not want to see blood shed in the Crimea, the health | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
family there. It does not follow that there will be bloodshed. I find | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
it interesting, the fears of the cold war, which suggests America has | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
some sort of leveraged and I'm not sure what the American leveraged is. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
That is what the American -- what the Observer goes with. It seems to | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
me that Russia is the gatekeeper now for Iran and Syria. It is about to | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
become the gatekeeper for the Ukraine. Where is the Western clout | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
that matches the Russian clout? In the Cold War there was parity in the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
power that each held. I do not understand where our power is in | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
this game that is being played out, not just across what used to be the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Soviet Union but the Middle East. What is interesting about this, it | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
is not the cold war, we have all gone cold, because there was no hot | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
to go with the cold. Do you believe in diplomacy? As long as Russia has | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
a veto in the UN and can keep wishing things through, -- pushing | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
things through, diplomacy does not count for much, except delays. It | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
worked to a degree with Syria, but people argued it was too little, too | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
late, but it did stop an escalation. It seems at the moment the Russians | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
are saying, that Obama has been consulted by the way he spoke about | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
it. That he was not as forthcoming as he could have been, he was been | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
quite gentle, but they are taking it as an insult. Diplomacy can only go | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
so far, as it did in Syria. Still an horrific amount of founding and loss | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
of life. -- fighting. As you were saying, at the UN, Russia will just | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
veto everything they want to say. Do you think that NATO is the answer? | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
As you say, the UN are going to be stopped or the time I Russia. We all | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
have depleted resources. Nobody has the money to spend on this. This is | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
great in terms of news coverage, great to watch on television and | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
reading the newspapers, but actually, it does not affect most of | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
us. The ultimate result will affect us and at that point we can start | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
thinking about how we respond. People just saw Ukraine as yet | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
another revolution. There has been some fat league with protests. There | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
will be interests when you are reading headlines like that in the | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Observer. We're going to stay with the Observer. They have got a story | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
about the Labour Party, about a policy that all teenagers will have | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
to study maths until the age of 18 and English. Labour wants this, it | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
would bring us in line with other countries. A quarter of adults in | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
England have the maths skills of a ten-year-old. I will hold my hand up | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
and say that I1 of them. I quite good at mental arithmetic but I | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
could not measure and elliptical curve. But that does not matter | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
because I can work out what my shopping is going to cost. Some | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
people will say that they get on perfectly well without maths. But | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
they do not know what they are not achieving and getting and when they | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
are being done out of something. I think this is important. I was once | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
the governor of an further education college, and I think that these are | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
key skills, particularly any technological world, where | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
everything is on screen and written. These days, there is not much | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
opportunity for a verbal exchange where you can explain what it is you | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
need. You have to be a role to fill in a form on a screen and get what | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
you need. If you are not basically literate and numerate, your | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
disadvantage that so many levels, you are just pushed right out of the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
workforce, as well as socially and every other way. I don't think I | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
would be able to force the kids I work with to continue with the | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
subject like maths that they really find challenging. They would say, I | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
can search online or use a calculator. My problem with maths | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
was about the teaching of it. I did not like the maths teacher. He was | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
someone who did not want to be around too much. As long as you have | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
got the times tables and the basics, I think it is fine. Do you hear from | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
kids that they would rather learn about maths that they are going to | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
use every day? Just that they can solve problems at their fingertips, | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
with a calculator or whatever. Let's move on. The Sunday Telegraph. | :08:30. | :08:43. | |
Immigration policy must change. This coming from Liam Fox, hot off the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
heels of those immigration figures which have not helped David | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Cameron's case. Because of the promises he made. He was going to | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
cut down on the numbers. Most people know that political parties have not | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
got a clue what is happening with immigration. You just don't know | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
what is going on. Just as they were wrong about the amount of Polish | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
people coming to this country, there were more than came before. There | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
were more that came before. Then after. I just think that we haven't | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
got control of it. And I don't think politicians are going to be able to | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
solve this problem. It is a problem of being a former colonial leader. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
People want to come to England. Unless we picked the right people, | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
we were saying earlier on, we need children to pay for our pensions in | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
future, but again, if you talk to people who live in areas where they | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
cannot get an interview with Doctor, go to the local hospital | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
accident and urgency, lots of people are frustrated and blaming | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
emigration. With Nigel Farage, who has done lots this week to make his | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
party more acceptable, people are going to vote with UKIP because they | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
are being the most honest about it. What Liam Fox is saying, it is time | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
for David Cameron to show a positive vision. And I... Does he mean tough? | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
I suppose he does mean tough. The trouble is there is such a confusion | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
because we can't decide if it is colour we object to, whether it is | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
numbers we object to, education object to? Women in the workplace | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
under fire as mothers face rising resentment? It is reclick dus. -- | :10:40. | :10:53. | |
ridiculous. I think younger women have always resented older women. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
Actually, the reason that she is a producer is because she has got six | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
kids and she has got some understanding of what it is to be a | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
person out there. Two-thirds, who are not parents, said they are | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
expected to work longer hours than colleagues with children. Colleagues | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
with children are getting special privileges? If you are somebody who | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
doesn't have children, you know, and you are in the workplace and you | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
know that people are getting maternity, paternity and all these | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
things, you know, even people, other people who just don't have children, | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
you can see that if you are a person who doesn't have children, you lose | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
out. It is encouraging people to have a family and still have the | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
career to work hard for? I think a lot of people are saying you can't | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
do both. The people who don't have children lose out because they get | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
holidays? They don't have to keep putting into the pot through | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
childcare, through education, through the health of those | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
children, you think that's a joy for people? It is a choice you make. It | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
is a very positive choice about community and society and far from | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
pillorying the workers who raise children to be workers rather than | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the workless who raise children to be workless and live on benefits, | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
actually we wou have a better society. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Before we go, I want to give our viewers a glimpse of what is on all | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
the back pages. This is on The Mail's pack pages. Alan Pardew | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
making an unconditional apology after the plough with the Irish | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
mid-fielder. We will have more on that at 1 # 11.30pm. Stay with us. | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
The international community is calling for calm as Russia approves | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
the use of troops in Crimea. Coming up next, it is Reporters. | :13:04. | :13:28. | |
Welcome to Reporters. From here, | :13:29. | :13:30. |
