:00:00. > :00:00.there are Coalition talks after 2015, he'll lobby for ?12,500 tax

:00:00. > :00:19.free. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:20. > :00:23.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:24. > :00:25.With me are writer and broadcaster, Yasmin Alibhai Brown and Vincent

:00:26. > :00:31.Moss, Political Editor at the Sunday Mirror.

:00:32. > :00:42.Thank you for joining us. Tomorrow's front pages. The Sunday Telegraph

:00:43. > :00:44.features the Malaysia Airlines air crash, its headline asking, were

:00:45. > :00:47.terrorists behind plane tragedy at sea?

:00:48. > :00:49.The Mail on Sunday claims one of Britain's most senior judges, Lord

:00:50. > :00:52.Justice Fulford, campaigned to support the Paedophile Information

:00:53. > :00:56.Exchange. Lord Justice Fulford says he has no memory of having been

:00:57. > :01:07.involved with its foundation or the detail of the work of this campaign.

:01:08. > :01:17.He has also added that he has always been a deeply opposed to pedophilia.

:01:18. > :01:26.A new storm over multi-million pound salaries. And the Sunday Times

:01:27. > :01:28.claims a secret BBC report is considering a radical plan to scrap

:01:29. > :01:32.the licence fee. Plenty to get our teeth into, so

:01:33. > :01:37.let's begin. We will start with the news that we have been getting

:01:38. > :01:43.throughout the day about the loss of the plane over the South China Sea.

:01:44. > :01:50.Without information, it is very difficult for the relatives at this

:01:51. > :01:54.time. The deep mystery around it. It is almost like a Hollywood movie. I

:01:55. > :01:59.cannot remedy is happening until there was all of this stuff about

:02:00. > :02:03.the Bermuda triangle. It has been a long time since we have anything

:02:04. > :02:10.like this happened, something vanishes like this, no

:02:11. > :02:16.communications. How completely intrigued and shocked by it. And oil

:02:17. > :02:24.slicks are the only sign to possibly say that the plane is down. Most of

:02:25. > :02:29.the papers are focusing on the suggestion that at least two of the

:02:30. > :02:33.people on the plane were travelling with stolen passports, one from an

:02:34. > :02:40.Austrian and one from an Italian, both from when they are in -- from

:02:41. > :02:45.when they were on holiday. Astonishing as it may seem, it is

:02:46. > :02:49.not that rare for people to travel and stolen passports. You would

:02:50. > :02:54.think that it would be outlawed but it is strangely not. Until they find

:02:55. > :02:59.the lack box recording, people do not know what the cause is. It

:03:00. > :03:04.doesn't help when people are speculating already, but of course,

:03:05. > :03:12.there was this attack in China just a few days ago Palma and the paper

:03:13. > :03:15.-- ago, and the papers already making a connection to a terrorist

:03:16. > :03:21.attack connected to what happened then. It is really a complete

:03:22. > :03:30.tragedy, and if nothing more is known about it, decrease will be

:03:31. > :03:36.astonishing. It could be quite some time before the black box is

:03:37. > :03:42.located. That is right, and that is one of the key things, why we need

:03:43. > :03:46.to find it. It is very unusual for a plane to not give any indication of

:03:47. > :03:50.something being wrong, which is why it has led some people to speculate

:03:51. > :03:54.that there was some catastrophic incident, because the pilots --

:03:55. > :04:01.pilots would not have been able to alert anyone.

:04:02. > :04:04.Let's go once the second story about assisted suicide, with the headline,

:04:05. > :04:10.administers clear path for assisted suicide to be legal.

:04:11. > :04:15.This is a big talking point, and what the paper is focusing on, it is

:04:16. > :04:20.saying that this has learned that there will be a free vote on this

:04:21. > :04:24.very controversial issue, and it is suggesting that Lib Dem social Care

:04:25. > :04:28.Minister as saying that he will vote in favour of this will stop that is

:04:29. > :04:33.a big kick forward for avoiding this sort of rather horrific situation

:04:34. > :04:37.where people are doing what they think is in the interest of their

:04:38. > :04:45.very ill relatives and helping them die with dignity. And some of them

:04:46. > :04:48.are having to go to Sizzler in -- Switzerland or not go to

:04:49. > :04:53.Switzerland. We have to deal with this. It is going to be a growing

:04:54. > :05:02.problem as the population ages. All sorts of illnesses come at a later

:05:03. > :05:05.age, and we cannot mess around with this decision. It is causing deep

:05:06. > :05:14.anguish to families and people concerned. And it has led to some

:05:15. > :05:17.relatives appearing in court. It is something in our society about

:05:18. > :05:23.wanting to keep people alive who themselves have made a decision, and

:05:24. > :05:29.yet we don't care when there is so much other misery we could do more

:05:30. > :05:34.about. Suicide rates are appalling for an advanced country. I find this

:05:35. > :05:37.very audit. The government would say they need safeguards in place to

:05:38. > :05:41.make sure that people are not bumping off the relatives. That is

:05:42. > :05:48.the issue. Moving on. A couple of interesting

:05:49. > :05:54.stories today. The BBC license fee. A BBC report says to scrap the

:05:55. > :06:01.license fee, a secret plan for subscriptions. This is a document

:06:02. > :06:08.that was produced a little while ago from a former Cabinet Minister. This

:06:09. > :06:12.is a review panel that came up with one conclusion saying that you could

:06:13. > :06:16.get rid of the license fee and make the BBC a subscription channel and

:06:17. > :06:21.that some people would pay twice the licensee for that. It sounds a lot

:06:22. > :06:26.but it is a lot then you would pay for rival broadcasters for some

:06:27. > :06:31.people pay up to ?700 a year. It is an interesting piece of work. I

:06:32. > :06:36.think the BBC is saying that it is just something that is being looked

:06:37. > :06:44.at. Those of us who love the BBC never

:06:45. > :06:48.wants to have attached, but for so long they have been dependent on the

:06:49. > :06:54.will of politicians, and years into the next discussion into the license

:06:55. > :07:00.fee, they have become trapped in political games, not because the BBC

:07:01. > :07:06.wants it to happen, but that is just how it has been calling for a long

:07:07. > :07:10.time. Anything that frees up the BBC to become truly independent, by only

:07:11. > :07:16.anxiety is that everybody wants everything for free. There is a

:07:17. > :07:19.hidden agenda that many Conservatives believe that the BBC

:07:20. > :07:26.is full of raging lefties and needs to be tamed.

:07:27. > :07:30.Have you seen the red colour? Other broadcast channels across the

:07:31. > :07:34.world have not a patch on the BBC. If you go to the states, lots of

:07:35. > :07:39.channels, lots of choice, but most of it is rubbish, and people should

:07:40. > :07:44.look at the options and reduce the cost, but people should protect what

:07:45. > :07:49.is a fantastic broadcaster. We will use this in the highlights! Another

:07:50. > :07:55.story, ex-pat Scottish people have the rights to vote, with Alex

:07:56. > :08:00.Salmond saying, by the paper, that he acted illegally by denying

:08:01. > :08:07.ex-patriot Scott's a vote. An interesting turn of events. The

:08:08. > :08:14.diaspora of Scots is huge, and I do not know how far they expect that

:08:15. > :08:18.this can be extended, but certainly, American expatriates have

:08:19. > :08:24.a right to vote, so I do not think why expatriate Scottish eagle would

:08:25. > :08:35.not. -- people would not. It is a big

:08:36. > :08:38.number. 1.5 billion. Presumably, the reason why Alex Salmond was keen for

:08:39. > :08:42.them not to vote is because they would not have voted his way I'll

:08:43. > :08:50.stop if they are brought back and they get to have their say, it could

:08:51. > :08:54.be decisive. -- his way. Moving on. The co-op Bank is once again in the

:08:55. > :09:00.headlines. I think you should start with this one. It is a huge amount

:09:01. > :09:06.of money. There are linked documents which are showing that the Chief

:09:07. > :09:13.Executive, the new guy that took over from the chairman under the old

:09:14. > :09:19.regime, he will be getting a total package of ?3.66 million. That

:09:20. > :09:31.sounds a lot of money. You have to have the best people. No! Absolutely

:09:32. > :09:36.not. I do think this is so immoral. So immoral. I really do. Once he has

:09:37. > :09:41.done the job, once he has actually brought the bank back to some of the

:09:42. > :09:48.house, maybe we can talk about it, but to make it a condition of his

:09:49. > :09:50.saving the bank is ridiculous. It will be performance linked.

:09:51. > :10:00.That is what they do with these packages now. It is a long-term

:10:01. > :10:04.programme. If he only had ?1.5 million, he would just about survive

:10:05. > :10:10.the modem to think? We come from industries were we are

:10:11. > :10:15.surviving on a little bit less. I don't believe that. That is the

:10:16. > :10:27.presumption which has been exploited. There are huge numbers

:10:28. > :10:35.of. If we had this... Where does it end? You need the best people to do

:10:36. > :10:42.the job, but the price has gone up to about 120 times of where it was a

:10:43. > :10:46.few years ago, said there is a strong argument that paying the

:10:47. > :10:53.executive has gone far beyond. We have got a British Museum, a

:10:54. > :10:59.world institution they don't ask for the money that these thinkers are

:11:00. > :11:06.asking for. People want jobs about being this greedy. They can turn the

:11:07. > :11:11.bank around with a bit less. Moving on, Scotland Yard, this time accused

:11:12. > :11:18.of covering up institutionalized sexism.

:11:19. > :11:23.When you are on a roll! When is this going to end? Every single day at

:11:24. > :11:27.the moment, there are stories about police to misdemeanors -- police

:11:28. > :11:33.misdemeanors of stop we had the story about the Lawrence family --

:11:34. > :11:39.misdemeanors. We had the story about how the police behaved during the

:11:40. > :11:42.Lawrence family investigation. The institutional sexism, this is

:11:43. > :11:47.another story which the Guardian has been going on with a long time, the

:11:48. > :11:54.infiltration, benign groups like green campaigners. Any kind of

:11:55. > :12:00.protest was infiltrated by police. Why? We live in a free country, I

:12:01. > :12:03.thought. They are saying that they want to

:12:04. > :12:08.strike out these claims by women who are in relationships, that would be

:12:09. > :12:13.very bad for democracy and that for the women who are claiming that they

:12:14. > :12:24.were unfairly and very wrongly duped by people. And they are children in

:12:25. > :12:29.some places. Thank you, you will be back at 11.30. There is another

:12:30. > :12:35.chance to see the Sunday Paper at 9.30 tomorrow. The former Fleet

:12:36. > :12:39.Street editor eve poll land and Jenny Bond will discuss what is

:12:40. > :12:43.making the news. Coming up next, it is Reporters.
