draws to a close, we will hear from Michael Vaughan, who describes the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
South Africa captain as a great of the game. That is all coming up | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after The Papers. Welcome to our look ahead to what | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are James Miller | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
from the Sunday Post, and also a journalist from the Sun. The | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Telegraph is saying that a high-protein diet is as bad for your | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
health as smoking, according to research which tracked thousands of | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
adults for 20 years. The Express also leads on a health story, that | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
positive thinking could be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
to help beat the pain of arthritis. The Scotsman leads with the crisis | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
in the Ukraine, with a picture of John Kerry in Kiev. | :00:53. | :01:04. | |
That is also the lead on the front of the Guardian. The Mirror has a | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
story about the Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell, who is | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
apparently stepping down from the soap. The Metro is leading with a | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
story about five men who worked as part of a nuclear plant armed force, | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
who have won damages after they said they were too unfit to carry guns. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
The Daily Mail is reporting that Downing Street is facing allegations | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
of a cover-up after an aide was arrested over child abuse imagery. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
The Financial Times beads with Putin stepping back. -- leads. We are | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
going to start with Ukraine. The war of words, according to the Guardian. | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
What is interesting, I think, is that not many papers have got this | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
story on the front page. Yes, clearly it is a very important | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
story, but it is less of a kind of on the brink moment, which would | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
ring it to the attention of papers like mine, which had it on the front | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
yesterday. -- which would bring it. I think everybody felt a little | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
relieved to see Putin on that armchair, in that press conference, | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
and to see John Kerry in Kiev, because at least there is a sense | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
that people are talking. It is still on the front page of the Sun. We | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
have a next close of tomorrow that Britain is still selling arms to | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Russia. But it is not the splash that we had yesterday, when everyone | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
was nervous that we are off towards World War III. It does seem that | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
temperatures have called a bit on this story. Yes, looking at the | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
papers, it seems Putin has taken some of the heat out of things | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
today. Although tonight, we are hearing that shots have been fired, | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
and much as it pains me to say it is a newspaperman, it is the sort of | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
story which newspapers are struggling to keep up with, because | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
it seems to be changing so quickly. Sam, given the profile of your | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
readers, on the Sun, what is it that makes a big geopolitical story like | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
Ukraine, what is it that can get it on your front page? A lot of our | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
readers are in the Armed Forces, so they are interested in any potential | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
conflict around the world. If you are a parent of someone who is going | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
to get flown out potentially to Syria or Ukraine, it is not going to | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
happen in this case, but... And also, simple things like prices. -- | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
like gas prices, how much a loaf of bread is going to cost. Russia is | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
also one of the biggest wheat producers in the world. We have to | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
tell them the story, and keep them up to date with events. But it is | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
such a fast changing story, that it is, yes... And it is the knock-on | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
effect of what is going on with a story like that, that you can sell | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
to your readers? Yes, they are interested in world events anyway. | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
But yes, how is it going to affect the man in the street, is what we | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
are looking at as well. Let's go onto the Telegraph, and James, | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
high-protein diet, as bad for health as smoking. We all know what | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
happened to Mr Adkins, who decided that he felt that low carbs and | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
high-protein was the way forward, but it seems to be official now. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Yes, it is interesting there is no mention of Atkins in the headline. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
High-protein diet, what does that mean to a lot of people? A lot of | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
people understand meat, but a high-protein diet is an interesting | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
headline. I think we have known for a while that too much meat is bad | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
for you, and this sets out exactly how much is too much. Interestingly, | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
it says a person weighing nine stone should eat about 45-50 g of protein | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
a day. That is mainly women, I would suggest. This is very much targeted | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
at... Not very many men, anyway. The figures are quite scary, aren't | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
they? It says that a chicken breast or Simon Philip still accounts for | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
about 40% of the recommended daily protein intake. -- or salmon fill | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
it. It worries me, because just when you think you have got a handle on | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
the latest diet, everybody changes the rules. I think this includes | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
eggs and is well. The way we have done it in the Sun is to say that a | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
fry up is just as bad as a cigarette. It reminds me of the old | :06:29. | :06:39. | |
thing about, if you give up smoking and drinking, you do not have | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
longer, it just feels like it. That one works for me! Family breakdown | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
is the other main story on the front page of the Telegraph. Family | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
breakdown could cost taxpayers ?46 billion, James? Yes, I am not quite | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
sure, that figure has been quoted in Parliament, but again, from the | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
Relationships Foundation, a think-tank, and exactly how they | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
came up with this figure is not exactly set out. It is interesting, | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
as an unmarried parent, by choice, apparently I am four times more | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
likely to separate from my partner. I would suggest that is not true, | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
obviously, and hopefully I am not convinced that it is something to do | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
with being married. I think it is certainly, there is good evidence | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
that people who get married are more likely to stay together, and the | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
divorce rate is going down. Maybe it is just my personal situation which | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
makes me doubt it. The article says that you have got the usual costs, | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
legal fees, the cost of separation. You have got child maintenance | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
payment collection, but on top of that, it talks about spending on | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
children in care, and a proportion of spending on the health, education | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
and criminal justice system, Sam? Yes, these stories tend to crop up | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
in the run-up to an election. But those figures suggest to me that it | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
is the underclass we are looking at, the very poor, where this is a | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
problem, and I think that is what Lord Freud is saying. Children in | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
care, spending on health, education and criminal justice, suggests this | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
is a complete breakdown. It does always concern me that centres like | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
sure start have been closing down, in my personal opinion, because | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
these are the places where you can teach young mums how to bring up | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
their kids, how to give them values, how to give them the basics | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
in life, so that saddens me. James, is there a sense that these figures | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
have been potentially over-egged by people who perhaps feel that the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
institution of marriage is the bedrock of society? There is a | :09:10. | :09:26. | |
political aspect to this. The Tories are bringing in their married | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
people's tax allowance, there has been controversy about that, saying | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
the cost of splitting up is very high and therefore the relatively | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
small cost of this tax allowance we can justify quite easily. It does | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
seem very high indeed. Let's go on to the Express. A new way to fight | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
the agony of arthritis, a step forward and that is positive | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
thinking. Basically meditation is better for you than | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
anti-inflammatory drugs according to this new research, which could save | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
a fortune on the NHS. Particularly among Express readers who might be | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
more elderly and prone to these conditions. I wonder if that is why | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
they have taken a psychologist out with the World Cup team. Has Wayne | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Rooney got arthritis? That should be on the front page of it is true! It | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
is funded by Arthritis Research Uk, a reputable body, and there seems to | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
be credence in this? I was very suspect when I first saw it but it | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
seems to stand up as being fairly decent research. It is fascinating | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
stuff, pain, because it is by its very nature all in the mind. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
However, it doesn't really help people who are suffering to say to | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
them, think yourself better. It is like saying that it is your fault | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
and you can get out of it. I question whether it would save | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
money, but talking therapies actually cost quite a bit of money | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
because you have got to pay somebody to talk to the patient and drugs are | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
very cheap. But meditation is obviously nice and cheap, you can | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
teach people to meditate quite quickly, I assume. I am no expert in | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
meditation! Do you think there will be people tomorrow picking up this | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
newspaper and thinking that they will give this a go? Possibly. There | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
is hope in every health news story and that is why people put them on | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
the front page. I read this and my back started aching so I suspect | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
some people might pick it up, feel more pain and go to the doctor | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
tomorrow! It is definitely a mental pain with you, clearly! My guests | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
will be back in one hour to talk more about the papers. At 11 o'clock | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
we will have a report from John Simpson on the stand-off earlier | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
today between Russian and Ukrainian troops in Crimea. Now, Sportsday. | :12:34. | :12:41. |
