:00:00. > :00:00.preparations get underway for tonight's Oscars ceremony, with
:00:00. > :00:00.space thriller Gravity expected to scoop multiple awards at this
:00:00. > :00:17.evening's ceremony. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:18. > :00:19.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are financial
:00:20. > :00:29.consultant Ros Altmann and Mihir Bose from the London Evening
:00:30. > :00:38.Standard. This evening we are going to start with the Express, which
:00:39. > :00:41.says the poor state of British pensions means millions of Britons
:00:42. > :00:45.will have to work until they drop. While the Mirror leads off with the
:00:46. > :00:52.crisis in Ukraine and claims it could lead to the price of gas
:00:53. > :00:54.rocketing. The Telegraph also plumps for Ukraine, nosing off on the
:00:55. > :00:57.warning from NATO that Moscow's annexation of the Crimean peninsula
:00:58. > :01:00."threatens peace and security in Europe". While the Independent has a
:01:01. > :01:03.dispatch from Kim Sengupta in the Crimea focussing on the defiance of
:01:04. > :01:14.ordinary Ukrainian people standing up to the Russian troops. Joyous
:01:15. > :01:17.Manchester City fans are on the front of the Guardian, which also
:01:18. > :01:19.carries a report about Labour's proposals for substantial changes to
:01:20. > :01:24.the oversight of the British intelligence agencies. While the
:01:25. > :01:26.Mail front page claims an NHS whistle`blower has been threatened
:01:27. > :01:29.with the sack after going public with concerns that a Wolverhampton
:01:30. > :01:40.hospital was fiddling its death rates. The Times also goes on
:01:41. > :01:47.Ukraine and the squeeze on army bases. Ukraine dominating many of
:01:48. > :01:57.the front pages, but we are going to start with the daily Mirror and the
:01:58. > :02:02.headline, new Cold War. I think they are saying we may get very cold over
:02:03. > :02:08.here if the troubles in Crimea end up cutting off gas supplies because
:02:09. > :02:14.this is quite a critical region, geopolitically. And of course gas
:02:15. > :02:20.prices in this country are already very high. Yes, you would expect the
:02:21. > :02:26.Mirror to go into that but the idea that we might have a Cold War
:02:27. > :02:34.reviving, certainly America versus Russia again, part two if you like,
:02:35. > :02:38.it is quite a serious proposition. While I was at Sochi a couple of
:02:39. > :02:43.weeks ago, listening to the Russian media, the parts I could
:02:44. > :02:48.understand, it was interesting to note how anti`American the line
:02:49. > :02:52.was, this feeling that America is our enemy and so on.
:02:53. > :02:56.Post`communism, you don't expect that and it was very evident. At
:02:57. > :03:02.that stage the president of the Ukraine have not been deposed so I
:03:03. > :03:13.suppose the rhetoric is increasing even more. Earlier and analyst was
:03:14. > :03:20.speculating there could be more of this to come. It does look like
:03:21. > :03:27.there could be a lot of instability over there. The nations want more
:03:28. > :03:34.autonomy, they want to be closer to the EU, and Russia perhaps feels
:03:35. > :03:38.that is a threat. I think the Russians see them as their family,
:03:39. > :03:43.their patch if you like. They haven't given up. The Soviet Union
:03:44. > :03:51.may be history but this is still part of mother Russia, that is what
:03:52. > :03:58.it amounts to. The Crimea was always part of Russia. This is a
:03:59. > :04:02.particularly difficult situation. And the vast amount of troops that
:04:03. > :04:08.have been officially announced, but more are thought to come in. British
:04:09. > :04:17.officials are now thought not to go to the Paralympics, and the Earl of
:04:18. > :04:24.Wessex has said he has cancelled a planned trip to the Paralympic
:04:25. > :04:31.Games. It does seem they might be pretty absent in terms of those
:04:32. > :04:47.representing. And given Vladimir Putin has spent $50 billion to
:04:48. > :04:52.create two separate villages. Onto the Express, and a subject near your
:04:53. > :04:58.hard because you are quoted, the Daily Express with the headline,
:04:59. > :05:03.pensions blow for millions, and the subheading 66% of people will be
:05:04. > :05:13.forced work longer. This is the result of a survey that has been
:05:14. > :05:17.done, showing that since 2012 the number of people planning to work
:05:18. > :05:22.past pension age has doubled. It is true that many people are happy to
:05:23. > :05:26.work longer but that is not the case for everyone and a big part of the
:05:27. > :05:30.issue is that people's pensions have not worked out in the way they would
:05:31. > :05:35.have hoped. Even those who have saved have not got enough pension
:05:36. > :05:39.and a lot of people have not got a pension at all so there is a real
:05:40. > :05:51.issue here and it is inevitable people will have to working longer.
:05:52. > :06:00.Last week we had the annuities news, and certainly pensions are headline
:06:01. > :06:07.grabbing thing. I think we should congratulate Ros for arranging this
:06:08. > :06:20.story! People were told if you invest X, you will get Y, and also I
:06:21. > :06:25.think people are living longer but most people are realising that when
:06:26. > :06:29.they invested money, they expected a pot of money and they could go off
:06:30. > :06:37.wherever they wanted to go and it is just not there. The industry should
:06:38. > :06:46.be called to task about the way they sold pensions. It was sold as this
:06:47. > :06:51.is what you will get, instead of this is what we estimate you will
:06:52. > :06:55.get. Quantitative easing has also driven down annuity rates which
:06:56. > :06:58.means you get much less pension so there has been a lot of bad news for
:06:59. > :07:03.pensions and I hope things will improve but I don't think this will
:07:04. > :07:09.be the last negative headline we will see. Do you think we will
:07:10. > :07:18.continue to see the pension age is rising? It is inevitable. It is not
:07:19. > :07:27.wholly bad news, if we are living longer either we have got to save
:07:28. > :07:32.more or keep working so that we keep earning, but you do need to be
:07:33. > :07:38.healthy enough to keep working and not everybody is so we need a proper
:07:39. > :07:44.national debate on how we can manage the ageing population. We don't have
:07:45. > :07:55.time for that right now! Onto the Telegraph, and an interesting story
:07:56. > :08:01.with the headline saying, Boris ` Islamists' children should be taken
:08:02. > :08:05.into care. He is saying these children are educated by their
:08:06. > :08:11.parents in such a way that they are likely to become terrorists all
:08:12. > :08:17.fundamentalist and in a way he is raising a question about how these
:08:18. > :08:21.children are educated or shaped at home and sometimes it is interesting
:08:22. > :08:28.to meet people who are very devout Muslims and talk to them about 911.
:08:29. > :08:32.I spoke to a sportsman recently and I was shocked to hear that he didn't
:08:33. > :08:36.believe it was the result of muslin and takes and the conversation
:08:37. > :08:41.became bizarre because you expect to say to somebody, obviously it was
:08:42. > :08:52.fanatics and expect them to condemn it, and he said, how do you know it
:08:53. > :08:57.was fanatics? He is saying that Muslim children who are radicalised
:08:58. > :09:01.by parents should be considered abused. If children are
:09:02. > :09:07.systematically exposed to pornography, they can be taken into
:09:08. > :09:21.care. If they are systematically exposed to other socially acceptable
:09:22. > :09:32.influences, they can be taken into care. It is very difficult, there is
:09:33. > :09:39.no easy answer. Social services are constantly having to draw the line.
:09:40. > :09:42.He is suggesting that there are situations where children are
:09:43. > :09:48.clearly being radicalised and nothing is being done about it. Onto
:09:49. > :09:57.the Independent, looking back at Ukraine, but its second story on the
:09:58. > :10:03.page is about target punters, not prostitutes, say MPs. As I
:10:04. > :10:10.understood the law, it was not prostitution that was illegal, it
:10:11. > :10:13.was living off immoral earnings. This is suggesting there are laws
:10:14. > :10:18.criminalising women and I don't quite know if the laws exist at the
:10:19. > :10:22.moment that if you live off immoral earnings that is illegal so I don't
:10:23. > :10:27.now how the sharpening of the law would take place. It to suggesting
:10:28. > :10:38.we should aim the full force of the law against punters. A strange word
:10:39. > :10:46.to use! It says that should be the aim. I think certainly targeting
:10:47. > :10:51.pimps makes sense, if you like those who are trafficking and
:10:52. > :10:58.prostitution. We should clamp down on them. As for targeting people who
:10:59. > :11:06.visit prostitutes, I'm not sure I really want to comment on that one.
:11:07. > :11:12.We will shuffle along to the Guardian in that case. Edward
:11:13. > :11:17.Snowdon again, Labour plans to overhaul controls over spy agencies.
:11:18. > :11:23.This is a very good story for this paper. It is an important story.
:11:24. > :11:28.What is being said here is that in the online age when it is so easy
:11:29. > :11:32.technologically to have all kinds of different forms of surveillance that
:11:33. > :11:38.in the past would have been much more difficult to organise, we do
:11:39. > :11:43.need to have some kind of boundaries, or to understand what
:11:44. > :11:48.the boundaries might be for what is allowed by the security services and
:11:49. > :11:52.what isn't. What Snowdon suggested is that there has been a freefall
:11:53. > :11:57.and there are no controls over what can be done. Labour are saying they
:11:58. > :12:02.want some kind of Parliamentary scrutiny or a committee of oversight
:12:03. > :12:09.that would enable us to know that we are not being targeted just at
:12:10. > :12:13.random. I think the problem is there is a committee at the moment but it
:12:14. > :12:20.is not open, and we have moved forward. There was a time when the
:12:21. > :12:24.man who headed MI5 was not known. Winston Churchill said democracy has
:12:25. > :12:28.to be protected by a bodyguard of lies. Where do you draw the balance
:12:29. > :12:33.between trying to protect the democratic way of life and being
:12:34. > :12:40.transparent about everything that is done to protect it? Thank you, both.
:12:41. > :12:46.We will have a look at the Oscars later. That's it for the papers this
:12:47. > :12:52.hour, so thank you to my guests. They will be back at 11:30pm for
:12:53. > :12:56.another look at what is making the newspapers tomorrow. Stay with us,
:12:57. > :13:04.the latest from Ukraine as criticism mounts against Russia, common at
:13:05. > :13:20.first `` coming up first, it is Click.
:13:21. > :13:24.Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, Manchego!
