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