to Stamford Bridge tomorrow. That's in 15 minutes. First, the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
papers. Hello there, welcome to our look | :00:07. | :00:18. | |
ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me Shazia | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
Awan, entrepreneur and British Library ambassador and Martin | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Bentham of the Evening Standard. The Financial Times is looking to | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Wednesday's Budget with the Chancellor saying people are | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
beginning to benefit from rising living standards. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The Telegraph is leading on the death of Mick Jagger's girlfriend, | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
L'Wren Scott, saying the musician was devastated by the news. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
The Express is asking if al`Qaeda hijacked the missing Malaysian jet. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
The Guardian has news of a Government plan to give families up | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
to ?2,000 a year to help with childcare costs. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
A health story on The Times which says patients are needlessly moved | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
about between hospitals at night to relieve pressure on wards. | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
We will start with the Financial Times, Osbourne hones in on cost of | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
living. He is going to set out his vision for the Budget on Wednesday. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
We are going to get lots of little bits in the next couple of days | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
about what he is going to do. He is basically trying to get across the | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
message that the economy is growing, it's getting better. Absolutely. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
This is classic Osbourne pitching to middle`class families and showing | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
the Conservative commitment to help hard`pressed families. One of the | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
interesting things that they're saying is they're going to be | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
offering up to ?2,000 per child tax relief to working parents but that's | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
extended ` could be extended to families earning up to ?300,000 per | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
couple so I am not sure how hard`pressed those people really | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
are. Is he going to get the balance right do you think? It's hard to | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
know. I suppose he is under pressure from his own side about the 40p tax | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
rate which I don't think he is going to address. I suppose things like | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
this gesture ` I am sceptical as well when you hear it, tax relief on | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
childcare, up to ?300,000, they don't sound hard`pressed. On the | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
other hand they are that group the Tory backbenchers are talking about. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
At the other end he is going to raise, from what we understand, the | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
personal tax allowance to ?10,500 to take more people out of tax. There | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
is research that shows that people who really benefit from that are not | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the people at the bottom but people higher up the income scale who get | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
about two of this of `` two`thirds of the benefit from that. We wait | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
and see. Obviously the pitch he wants to make is he is appealing | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
across the board and trying to ` cost of living. The Labour charge | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
that the cost of living has gone up for lots of people, people are worse | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
off in large numbers and Osbourne wants to say the figures are looking | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
better but actually you as individuals are going to feel it in | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
your pockets, as well. That's what he is trying to deliver, whether he | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
can do that or not we wait and see, I suppose. That's the key. He has to | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
sort of say, look, the economy is growing, things are getting better. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
And you are feeling it. He almost has to tell you that you are feeling | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
it. Is that part of the problem that he has got that perhaps people | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
aren't feeling it or are they feeling it and not feeling it | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
enough? People are really feeling the absolute pinch across the board. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
Everyone's feeling the pinch. It's very difficult for people to relate | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
to somebody like George Osborne, up there telling them it's getting | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
better, it will get better and of course I am a former Tory candidate | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
and, you know, even I can understand it's difficult to have that | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
conversation with people. People find George Osborne very difficult | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
to relate to, I think. It's fair to say that. You are a former Tory | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
candidate, what should he be saying? What should be the basic pitch he | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
puts forward come Wednesday? I don't think it would be a bad idea to look | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
at sort of completely reforming something like stamp duty, for | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
example, because so many people struggle to get on the housing | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
ladder, buying and selling homes and I think that is actually something | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
that would significantly help but the Government makes so much money | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
from that. It would be worth looking... He needs a big, bold | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
gesture. Something really quite big for people to go right, OK, that's | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
interesting. That's really something for us, that's going to help me in | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
my day`to`day life and that would be something, rather than help to | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
buy... I think actually, on the Government's side on this, I think | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
what they have... And there's nothing wrong with that, Martin! Are | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
we having a role reversal, Martin? Not at all, I am thinking the only | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
thing that ` or the main thing that's positive for them is whether | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
people feel it or not the question is how you think your life is going | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
to be over the coming years and that's still where, for Labour it's | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
more tricky, because they have the backdrop of what happened when they | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
were in power and maybe people think even if it hasn't come through to me | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
yet f the economy's picking up that the next few years might be better. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Really, that's going to be part of his pitch. I would have thought what | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
the Labour Party are going to say is look, are you better off now than | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
four years ago? Well, they are. Are they feeling it? The phrase will be, | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
are you feeling better off? They're right to make that point for a lot | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
of people. That's a valid point. Whether it's political traction in | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
the long`term because people will be also thinking well, who is | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
bestplaced to deliver a better future for me over the next few | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
years? I am not sure yet that Labour has counted the negative effects of | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
what its record in power was and that the Tories having got the | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
figures looking better, at the very least, might have something saleable | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
there. Who knows? There is a year to go before the next election. I don't | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
think people are going to feel better with Ed Miliband. All right. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
On to The Express. Did al`Qaeda hijack the missing plane? Passengers | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
could still be alive. Two sweeping statement there is. I suppose what | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
these statements indicate is that while there are no facts, and if | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
there are no facts you can come up with all kinds of stuff now. I | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
hesitate to be definitive in anything to this story, the answer I | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
would say is no. But only because... They would have said so by now, you | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
think? I don't think there's been any al`Qaeda`related incident where | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
they haven't claimed responsibility fairly rapidly. There is also what | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
the intelligence community ` talk of chatter going on, there's been no | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
indication of that. And I think it's a sort of sex sexy theory to put | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
about. There doesn't seem to be ` the theorys there are about what's | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
happened to this plane, there doesn't seem any evidence as yet, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
and of course the Americans and all the world's intelligence communities | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
have been looking into the background of the individuals on | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
this flight, nobody's found any links. That doesn't doesn't mean to | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
say it's not possible that they don't exist. It seems unlikely. The | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
story says, for example, that links ` the plane could have landed in the | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Taliban areas, southern Afghan heartlands, you think how have they | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
got in there with the Americans and ourselves. All kinds of military | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
hardware would have spotted it, you suspect. The bottom line there, | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
passengers could still be alive, I mean, that's something that | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
obviously the families are going to cling on to while there is no clear | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
indication that unfortunately they are dead. Yeah, there is hope whilst | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
we have all this speculation and no hard actual facts about what | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
happened. There is hope. That's only a good thing for the friends and | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
family of those 239 people. As far as this headline goes, did al`Qaeda | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
hijack the plane? No. I think that's typical Express, at least they're | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
talking about something other than the weather. It's an arresting | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
headline. There is nothing that says 100% that they didn't hijack that | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
plane. It is possible. That's the point. It seems unlikely. What would | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
they be doing with these passengers for two weeks? If they had hijacked | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
it they would have come out with it by now, surely. There was a point | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
today, while there's been no, etc, etc, there is still hope. Of course | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
the opening up of these two admittedly vast corridors, one to | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
the Indian Ocean and one across the central Asian land mast, the latter | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
gives the prospect of them having landed somewhere, there are air | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
strips they could have landed on, never mind some stretch of central | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
Asian terrain. With 26 countries, there's hope. But it does seem | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
absolutely bizarre to most people that in this day and age when | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
supermarket will know exactly what you eat, what you buy, what your | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
habits are and they can't find a plane. Well, it is lost somewhere. | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
Onto the Daily Telegraph. World Cup chief and family paid millions by a | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Qatari firm. There have been allegations swirling around FIFA and | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
corruption for years and the BBC has done a lot of investigating. Part of | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the problem is the impression that can be given that there is | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
skulduggery or something allegedly going on behind the scenes because | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
of the bidding process and the way they conduct their business. Yes, | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
and as you say it is a long`standing concern. Every time there is a World | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Cup bid, and in the last one I think they allocated Russian and Qatari | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
World Cups the same time, meaning allegations of trade`offs between | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
voting for the different world cups. This story, we can't say the | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
allegations are correct, but it is suggested that Jack Warner, the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
former Vice President of FIFA, received money from a Qatari former | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
football official. We don't know the rights and wrongs of that allegation | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
but it is the sort of thing that regularly crops up after the World | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
Cup. It looks like the whole process has to be looked at. The | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
International Olympic Committee has had its own problems in the past | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
with these allegations and it seems to have got its act together and it | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
is strange that FIFA can't do the same. Sporting beards over the years | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
have been full of corruption and all kinds of things. `` bids. It is | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
alleged that Jack Warner has got ?2 million in his bank account from | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
this. The only reason this has cropped up is because a bank in the | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Cayman Islands saw the red lights and raised this. They said it is | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
happening. It is a shame that it takes something like this for it to | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
come out. If it is true, of course. These are all allegations. Right! | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
Onto the Guardian. Very sad news of the partner of Mick Jagger, L'Wren | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
Scott, who has died at her apartment in New York. She is on the front | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
pages with Mick Jagger, a number of the front pages. But we have got to | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
remember that she was a very successful woman in her own right, | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
as you point out. Absolutely. I think a lot of people will think of | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
L'Wren Scott as Mick Jagger's other half but she was a famous model, | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
highly successful, and a very famous designer. Her clothes are in Harrods | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
and Selfridge's, the high`end stores. This is absolutely tragic. | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
They have been dating for 13 years and it is unexpected. We have to be | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
very careful what we say about this because of the circumstances | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
surrounding it. But of course a big tragedy and it is filling | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
practically every front page that we have got. He is on tour in | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
Australia, I think. Yes, in Perth. It is striking because you think | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
they are couple who have got everything and then it ends in this | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
terrible way. To go to your point, one of the things that has been | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
speculated is that she was concerned about the losses that her business | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
was in caring, and one of the reasons she was concerned about that | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
was because she was determined the business should stand on its own two | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
feet and not rely on the vast wealth that Mick Jagger has. That is to her | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
credit really. Indeed. They look like a picture perfect couple. It | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
goes to show that you don't know what is going on behind the scenes. | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
You will be back in an hour for another look at the stories behind | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
the headlines. Stay with us on BBC News for much more at the top of the | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
hour, including the latest on the shenanigans going on in the Ukraine. | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
Now it is time the Sportsday. `` for Sportsday. | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
Good evening. I'm Ore Oduba and welcome to Sportsday. Coming up on | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
the programme: It's a no`go for a Hull City name change. The FA are | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
set to reject the proposed the club's change to Hull Tigers. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Great Britain's went to Paralympic athletes return home from Sochi | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
after their | :14:34. | :14:34. |
