retirement from -- Captain announces his retirement. That's all in 15 | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
minutes after the papers. Hello. Welcome to our look to what | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me Lance Price and | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
James Rampton. We will start with The Telegraph. It's saying the UK is | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
preparing to rule out trade sanctions against Russia because of | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
fears the Ukraine crisis could derail the global economic recovery. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
According to The Guardian rifts are opening between Europe and America | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
on how to punish Russia. The Metro shows a picture of President Putin | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
with the headline: Deadlines and denials. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
We will go on to The Independent. It says that Nick Clegg is telling his | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
party to prepare for power and another coalition Government. | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
Life-saving statins could be prescribed to more people according | :01:06. | :01:17. | |
to The Express. And the picture shows Prunella Scales battling | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Alzheimer's. Lance, Ukraine threat to global | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
economy. Britain prepares to rule out sanctions as Russia issues | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
warning to forces in Crimea. We have seen stocks across the world go | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
down. There is clearly an economic effect of all of this. Yes, and you | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
would have thought, given that nobody's talking about a military | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
response to the Russian intervention, that hitting the | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Russians through economic means would be the only real serious | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
alternative, if words are not enough we have to do something practical | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
then presumably you would think that hitting them in their pockets would | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
be the way to do it. It seems that the British view, shared by some of | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
our European partners, is that actually the risk to the whole of | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
the world economy of that strategy is too great to be prepared to go | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
down that line which appears once more to tie another hand, if you | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
like, behind our backs in terms of what are we going to do to back up | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the strong words of condemnation? And yet the Americans are bullish | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
about this and saying they will push for punitive sanctions if at all | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
possible. They are indeed saying that. But backing up what Lance just | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
said, I remember Bill Clinton's political advisor always said, it's | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
the economy, stupid. I think that's what the European leaders are | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
thinking. Germany, particularly, is being very cautious about this. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Russia provides 40% of Germany's gas. They're going to be terrified | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
of upsetting the Russians who could easily turn the tap off. That would | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
have cataclysmic effects on the German and European economy. They're | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
talking about possibility clamping down on visa deregulation but tiny | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
things in the overall picture because they're absolutely | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
frightened of upsetting the Russians and causing more economic upset. On | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
to The Guardian. US and Europe rifts surfacing as Putin tightens grip in | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Crimea. You talked about reservations the Europeans might | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
have. Obama threatens to isolate Russia, is there a sense that | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
President Obama feels this is his - he was not running for President | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
again, this is the kind of issue he has to stand firm on and potential | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
potentially threaten the global economy, is he thinking in those | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
terms? There is some politics in it and President Obama has been stung | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
by the suggestion that his foreign policy has been a weak one, that he | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
has been too willing to jaw-jaw and not been considered to - not been | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
willing to consider military responses. It gets complicated, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Syria, everyone believes there is no situation to the Syrian problem | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
without Russia and one of the considerations I know in the minds | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
of British diplomats is one of the reasons they want to deescalate the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Crimea crisis as far as possible is they still need Russia in other | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
aspects of their foreign policy. The other reason there is this split | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
between US and Europe is, I suspect I am right in saying, that the | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
American economy is less prone to the precious that James was talking | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
about from the threat of Russia cutting off oil or gas supplies, for | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
example, whereas that has a bigger impact in Europe. You used to work | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
at Number 10, why is it when people walk in there and have a sheet of | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
paper they don't buy, you know, a little folder and put the paper in | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
so you can't read what is on the front of the paper! It's happened | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
again! We are not supposed to know that Britain doesn't want to harm | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
its own economy by sanctions on... What is going on? They must walk | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
down the street and see people with cameras and think they're just | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
tourists to take pictures of Number 10, that they're not journalists. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
It's extraordinary. Some people never learn. How many politicians | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
will be caught out if you forget microphones stay live after you stop | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
talking, they don't get it. We need Number 10, a Government-issue folder | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
so people can put papers in them and the public is not forewarned. We | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
would have nothing to write about! In the interests of freedom of | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
information we should ask more people to walk down the street... | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
With transparent folders Open Government, that's what we want. On | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
to The Daily Star, leading with this one, a key witness shocks the trial, | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
the opening day of Oscar Pistorius, a global icon, certainly for the | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
Paralympics and a sporting icon in South Africa. Absolutely. People | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
have been making comparisons with the OJ Simpson trial here, I don't | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
think the dpar is examiner -- comparisons are out of place. There | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
is a 24-hour news channel in South Africa devoted to this trial. If you | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
say that he has a level of fame of Beckham in South Africa, I don't | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
think you are underrating his importance. He is a massive star | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
there. That's why this is such a shocking trial. The very first day | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
has produced really eye-opening testimony. One of the witnesses | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
saying she heard blood-curdling screams. He denies that, but there | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
are questions about if those screams did take place why didn't he hear | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
it? What was actually going on? This is the first day in a trial that's | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
supposed to last three weeks. The whole world will be gripped by it | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
for all that time. Indeed. The trial is being televised but partially. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
For instance, his testimony when he actually addresses the court, that | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
won't be televised live. It poses a real challenge, not just in this | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
trial but in other celebrity trials that we have seen, the OJ Simpson | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
one was the famous one, how do you try somebody who is so high-profile? | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
When justice becomes showbiz which it clearly has done in this case, | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
it's very difficult to ensure that a fair trial can take place and that | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
the jury that has to make a decision isn't influenced by everything else. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
So perhaps that's less - is that less of an issue? Is a judge's head | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
turned as much as anybody's He is only human. She. Sorry, she is | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
human, as well! If I were his lawyer I would be harping on about this and | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
saying, which I think there is some credence to that, it's impossible | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
for him to have a fire trial because there's been so much potential | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
potentially -- a fair trial. This alleged crime happened a year ago | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
and there's been 12 months of coverage, not only in South Africa | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
but throughout the world. She may well be hearing these pleas from the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
lawyers saying whatever you think, it's impossible to have a fair | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
trial. It must be discharged. OK. On to The Independent. Five more years | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
of coalition Government. Clegg has told the Liberal Democrats to | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
prepare for another term in power. The Independent bases this story on | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
a poll for the paper that found that 34% of people believe Britain is | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
better off with a coalition Government. But it means 66% still | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
think it's a bad idea. There may be a lot of don't knows in there, as | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
well. That's true. They haven't given us the other figures. 34% is | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
not a high figure but it's a higher figure than 9% which is where the | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Liberal Democrats are, on average n the -- on average, in the opinion | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
polls. Some to argue they've a right to have a role in Government after | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
the next election is a bit presum shus of them. -- presum shus of | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
them. I think they'll do bet better than that. They'll do better than | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
the headline figure in the polls suggests. They may be right. They | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
may have an influence on the next Government. It may be a coalition. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
But to speak to your party as if that's almost a foregone conclusion | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
will be seen by a lot of people as presufrp shus. It reminds me of one | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
Michael Portillo was seen to be campaigning for the Tory leadership | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
prematurely, setting up campaign lines. Apparently Nick Clegg did the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
same thing, setting up a team to prepare for negotiations for | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
coalition. And that may be perceived as presumptuous for a party sitting | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
on 9% of the polls. However, if it is very tight between the Tories and | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Labour, which it may well be, then even with 30 seats, the Lib Dems | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
would hold the balance of power and they are quite right to be talking | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
about the influence that they could have in a coalition. It could well | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
be so close that began they are holding the keys to Government. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Indeed. You will be back in an hour for another look at the stories | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
making the front pages. Stay with us for that. At the top of the hour we | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
will have the latest on the Security Council meeting in New York and all | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
the diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. Stay with us | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
for that. Now it is time the Sportsday. | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
