:00:20. > :00:28.Welcome to look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:29. > :00:33.Thank you for joining us. We will look at tomorrow's front pages. We

:00:34. > :00:41.start with the Telegraph, the lead story is news that parents who start

:00:42. > :00:44.star their children of love and affection `` starve their children

:00:45. > :00:48.of love and affection face prosecution. The Guardian says

:00:49. > :00:57.experts are warning that climate change has already cut into the

:00:58. > :01:00.global food supply. The independent says the Midlands and the North of

:01:01. > :01:12.England would be hardest hit by quitting the European Union. The

:01:13. > :01:21.Daily Mail headline is about mothers over 50 having births. The daily

:01:22. > :01:27.express says a right`wing think tank suggests patients paid ?10 per month

:01:28. > :01:36.to use the NHS. We start with the Telegraph. This is quite

:01:37. > :01:41.extraordinary. Explain more. Neglect and emotional abuse has always been

:01:42. > :01:46.a gateway for social services to intervene in the family, and remove

:01:47. > :01:50.that child into care, along with sexual abuse and physical abuse. But

:01:51. > :01:55.here they are going to add a criminal by mentioning. The issue is

:01:56. > :02:00.how you prove it. It has always been, with physical abuse you might

:02:01. > :02:13.have evidence. Sexual abuse, to an extent, the same. But how do you

:02:14. > :02:18.prove to the court that a child has been starved of cuddles? People will

:02:19. > :02:25.be hearing this and thinking it is crazy, you will have children saying

:02:26. > :02:30.they were ignored, this and that. Yes, I was treated differently,

:02:31. > :02:35.excluded. In the civil court, this happens, we have many cases where

:02:36. > :02:38.emotional abuse or the likelihood of emotional abuse in the family is a

:02:39. > :02:49.wafer social services to remove children. `` is a way that. We know

:02:50. > :02:54.that it can affect people. The inaccurate nursery rhyme about

:02:55. > :02:58.mental abuse, it hurts a lot. We know that it matters, whether the

:02:59. > :03:04.court can really judge on it, really find enough proof, it seems a lot

:03:05. > :03:12.more work for the legal establishment. In all seriousness,

:03:13. > :03:20.in this report there is a lot of food, might, may. `` could. How much

:03:21. > :03:25.of a chance does this have? We have recently seen David Cameron cracking

:03:26. > :03:32.down on pornography that children have access to. It is a political

:03:33. > :03:40.issue. All the politicians want to look to be on the side of protecting

:03:41. > :03:44.children. This seems to fit into that pattern. It is easy to say you

:03:45. > :03:49.want to do something about things like this, quite hard to actually

:03:50. > :03:56.crashed legislation that works. `` craft legislation. The political

:03:57. > :04:00.side must be how far the state can intervene. Looking at this closely,

:04:01. > :04:06.you do wonder, surely this is being covered by elements of cruelty, how

:04:07. > :04:10.far are we going to go? Many mothers suffer from postnatal depression.

:04:11. > :04:14.Where does the boundary stop? It will be very difficult if it comes

:04:15. > :04:21.in. Staying with the Telegraph, this story about Britain walking tall

:04:22. > :04:25.again, says George Osborne. One senses in this story a little bit of

:04:26. > :04:31.the thumping of the election from. Such a cynic. You're quite right.

:04:32. > :04:38.The Chancellor had a good couple of weeks. His budget was well received.

:04:39. > :04:41.Since that budget we've seen the opinion polls tightening, Labour's

:04:42. > :04:46.lead has gone down quite a bit. George Osborne seems to be wanting

:04:47. > :04:49.to punch home, making this big speech on the economy tomorrow.

:04:50. > :04:52.Within the story, we learn that Nick Clegg is going to try and rain on

:04:53. > :04:58.his parade a little bit and claim that actually the tax cuts the

:04:59. > :05:05.Tories claimed to have delivered are actually, certainly the raising of

:05:06. > :05:12.income tax, was actually a Liberal Democrat manifesto idea. Nick Clegg

:05:13. > :05:20.says, not so fast, George Osborne. What coalition? The knives are out.

:05:21. > :05:25.It is like Game of Thrones. We are not sure who is doing what.

:05:26. > :05:28.Everybody wants the glory. I disagree. I many people would really

:05:29. > :05:37.have predicted this coalition, the first coalition would have lasted

:05:38. > :05:44.until now? `` how many people. It is a fixed term parliament, there was

:05:45. > :05:50.nothing they could have done. Onto the Financial Times. We were talking

:05:51. > :05:54.about tax. Here is another story. It suggests according to the latest

:05:55. > :06:00.figures, the calculation is showed that less tax than forecast is going

:06:01. > :06:09.into the coffers. People are not paying as much. Are we in recovery?

:06:10. > :06:16.Tax has come up short. Everybody is rushing to pay their tax. It is the

:06:17. > :06:20.end of the tax year next week. The figures don't add up. This is the

:06:21. > :06:24.issue. Have we got enough to do what the government wants to do the year

:06:25. > :06:28.before the election? Talking of the coalition, the big thing that they

:06:29. > :06:35.said they were coming together to achieve was to eliminate the deficit

:06:36. > :06:41.in the court of this parliament `` the course of this Parliament. The

:06:42. > :06:46.deficit is still very big. Tax has gone up by ?23 billion over the

:06:47. > :06:49.course of this Parliament, as the FT says, politicians like to talk about

:06:50. > :06:54.tax cuts but if you think about things like VAT, national

:06:55. > :07:01.insurance, overall we are paying more tax. It is still not enough.

:07:02. > :07:05.The figures, it is a small percentage that, it equates to a lot

:07:06. > :07:18.of money. They were working on 38.8% of income. It has been revised down

:07:19. > :07:26.to 37% now the Independent. We have the debate on the BBC on Wednesday.

:07:27. > :07:31.But this says actually, a report is out suggesting that quitting it

:07:32. > :07:36.would hit the north and the Midlands hardest. Too`mac this is another of

:07:37. > :07:45.those big scare stories `` this is another of those big scare stories.

:07:46. > :07:50.The idea is, not only would they would be hit hardest, but the figure

:07:51. > :07:56.is 3 million jobs that Britain would lose, it is now being spoken of as 4

:07:57. > :08:01.million. The fact is, we have a big trade deficit with Europe, we buy so

:08:02. > :08:06.many of their Mercedes, cars, the idea that Europe is going to stop

:08:07. > :08:10.trading with us if we were to leave the European Union is nonsense,

:08:11. > :08:13.Norway, Switzerland, other countries outside the European Union have good

:08:14. > :08:20.trade relations, and if we ever left, we would keep those relations.

:08:21. > :08:25.I do agree, it is a scare story, and what makes me smile is the North,

:08:26. > :08:30.the Midlands, O far north are we talking? Is this another blow at

:08:31. > :08:38.Scotland? I think that is what it is. It is showing the political

:08:39. > :08:40.might through the economic industrial heartlands, if they still

:08:41. > :08:49.exist, in the north and the Midlands. It will be interesting to

:08:50. > :08:54.see how quickly this survey shows up in the debate. One assumes in the

:08:55. > :09:01.first two minutes. We should have a wager. Moving onto the Guardian. Bat

:09:02. > :09:05.look that climate change and this report coming out about global

:09:06. > :09:11.warming which makes some pretty damning reading. It is quite

:09:12. > :09:13.frightening. Wheat is the first big staple crop to be affected by

:09:14. > :09:19.climate change because it is sensitive to heat. It is grown in

:09:20. > :09:26.Pakistan, Russia, Canada. The projection suggests it could drop 2%

:09:27. > :09:30.per decade. It is absolutely frightening. The changes in

:09:31. > :09:39.temperature could lead to food prices rising between three and 84%

:09:40. > :09:45.by 2050. We have already seen food riots during the last crisis. This

:09:46. > :09:53.is unsustainable. We cannot feed our people know. `` at the moment. If

:09:54. > :09:56.the yield of crops is falling because of climate change and the

:09:57. > :10:02.population rising, we are in difficulty. This is a very Guardian

:10:03. > :10:09.story, is it not? In a way, yes. It is also on the front of the Metro.

:10:10. > :10:11.Fair will be lots of people in Tory Somerset who will read this with

:10:12. > :10:17.interest, worry about their future. I would link this story with the one

:10:18. > :10:24.we just with that, the scare story on Europe. I see this as a scare

:10:25. > :10:32.story as well. The climate panel in the UN as a record of exaggerating

:10:33. > :10:37.some of the risks. Come on, we have fish catches that could fault by

:10:38. > :10:45.between 40`60%. Throughout history we have had people warning of

:10:46. > :10:48.overpopulation. If you look at the world today, disease rates, poverty

:10:49. > :10:53.rates are falling at unprecedented levels, there has never been a

:10:54. > :11:00.better time to be alive. The great story of humankind as we find

:11:01. > :11:05.solutions to problems that we face. I am confident we will find

:11:06. > :11:12.solutions. I want to catch my fish, not grow them. That is a different

:11:13. > :11:18.issue. Onto the Express. Bat has the story, it is being said by this

:11:19. > :11:23.think tank that patients will have to pay ?10 per month to use the NHS

:11:24. > :11:33.under plans revealed today. Is this another scare story? No. The issue

:11:34. > :11:38.with the NHS, I have to link it to legal aid. This is the lawyer's

:11:39. > :11:41.interest coming through. It is one of the backbones of our society,

:11:42. > :11:49.what makes us different from any other country in the world, and

:11:50. > :11:58.paying to go and see your doctor, it sounds like the BBC licence fee,

:11:59. > :12:03.doesn't it? It undermines universe allergy `` universality. We all

:12:04. > :12:07.remember Margaret Thatcher, look at David Cameron, you still the Child

:12:08. > :12:13.benefit from the mother on the school run. The deficit Labour left

:12:14. > :12:18.behind might have had something to do with that. Bringing in small

:12:19. > :12:23.charges here and there, it is going to be the downward spiral. I cannot

:12:24. > :12:29.see the link to legal aid. You just have to get it in. In the

:12:30. > :12:32.introduction you spoke about the right`wing think tank but my

:12:33. > :12:36.understanding is this is a former Labour health Minister who is part

:12:37. > :12:41.of this report. None of us want charges for the national health

:12:42. > :12:46.service, for anything, but a little while ago, we spoke about Britain,

:12:47. > :12:50.?100 billion deficit, the fact that taxes are not plugging the gap. We

:12:51. > :12:54.have a massive crisis in public finances. The NHS budget is

:12:55. > :12:59.protected. I'm not sure this is the right solution, but I'm afraid

:13:00. > :13:05.solutions will need to be taken. It will bring in a system where people

:13:06. > :13:11.who can pay it and cannot are in a different way. Thank you. We will be

:13:12. > :13:20.back later. That is it for the papers. Thank you to our guests.

:13:21. > :13:23.Stay with us, because we will have the latest on discussions between

:13:24. > :13:26.the United States and Russia aimed at resolving the crisis in Ukraine.

:13:27. > :13:38.Still waiting for that best conference to start. Coming up next,

:13:39. > :13:43.it is time for Click. I ordered an e`reader with an extra

:13:44. > :13:48.large font. I think I will need to buy a bigger case.
