:00:00. > :00:00.Immigration Centre dies. Coming up, Captain America, takes on the winter
:00:00. > :00:32.soldier and the other top films with Mark Kermode.
:00:33. > :00:36.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
:00:37. > :00:38.us tomorrow. With me are barrister Sophia Cannon and Tim Montgomerie
:00:39. > :00:40.from The Times. Tomorrow's front pages.
:00:41. > :00:43.The lead story in the Telegraph, news that parents who starve their
:00:44. > :00:46.children of love and affection face prosecution under a so called
:00:47. > :00:48.Cinderella Law likely to be proposed in the Queen's Speech.
:00:49. > :00:51.According to the Times, senior executives at the Big Six energy
:00:52. > :00:54.firms have admitted that their customer service has been poor and
:00:55. > :00:56.bills have been too confusing. The Guardian says UN experts are
:00:57. > :00:58.warning that climate change has already cut into the global food
:00:59. > :01:01.supply. The Independent has research which
:01:02. > :01:04.claims that the North of England and the Midlands would be hit hardest by
:01:05. > :01:07.the UK quitting the European Union. According to the FT, less tax than
:01:08. > :01:09.forecast is flowing into government coffers.
:01:10. > :01:13.Births to mums over 50 soaring, is the Mail's headline. The main
:01:14. > :01:20.picture is of the Dynasty actress Kate O'Mara who's died aged 74.
:01:21. > :01:22.And the Mirror has a special investigation into conditions for
:01:23. > :01:36.construction workers preparing Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. With those
:01:37. > :01:40.on the front pages, let's begin at our first is about the energy giants
:01:41. > :01:46.of the times. Tim, you are from the Times, talk us through this. Up
:01:47. > :01:52.until now we have thought that tankers and politicians were public
:01:53. > :01:55.enemy number one, we have this big survey by the polling organisation
:01:56. > :01:59.we are splashing in the paper tomorrow which says that energy
:02:00. > :02:06.companies are less popular even than bankers `` bankers. The interesting
:02:07. > :02:11.thing is that energy companies themselves
:02:12. > :02:15.admit their customer service has been poor, bills have been confusing
:02:16. > :02:21.and complaints have been badly handled and the story I our deputy
:02:22. > :02:25.political editor says that over half of people admit they have been
:02:26. > :02:31.turning their thermostats down because they have been worried about
:02:32. > :02:39.affording their energy bills. A huge public issue. It has been a bad week
:02:40. > :02:46.for them, hasn't it? You have to look at how British Gas came into
:02:47. > :02:52.being. It was a worry that there was a problem with the monopoly of the
:02:53. > :02:56.three big companies and we are back to that position now, with six major
:02:57. > :03:00.giants who are holding us tightly by the short and curly is and when we
:03:01. > :03:07.complain to them they have said to us, hold on, we will turn the lights
:03:08. > :03:10.off ``curlies. It is a bit more contemplative than that. If you look
:03:11. > :03:21.at the components of the bills we pay, green measures and so on, we
:03:22. > :03:26.are paying for higher bills and so reduce pensioners and so on. It is
:03:27. > :03:31.to stop climate change supposedly, but China and India do not engage in
:03:32. > :03:38.those kind of bills. Emissions across the world are not going down
:03:39. > :03:43.so it is a futile cost. What I have read, there has been no
:03:44. > :03:48.infrastructure. It happened under the labour government, huge
:03:49. > :03:54.neglect, to be put right by the coalition a little slowly. This is
:03:55. > :04:01.happening under a Conservative led government. This infrastructure is a
:04:02. > :04:08.result of planning under the labour government. The fear of the lights
:04:09. > :04:16.going out remains. On this issue of customers as well. That is a genuine
:04:17. > :04:22.point. Customers are being let down. In the high arc of the professions
:04:23. > :04:29.it was estate agents and bankers and now it is energy companies. And
:04:30. > :04:39.barristers. There has been no scandal surrounding lawyers, we
:04:40. > :04:41.promote integrity, and Justice. I'm not sure the legal profession is
:04:42. > :04:53.free of getting anything wrong. ``justice. We have
:04:54. > :05:01.the option to appeal to a higher authority. Let's move to the
:05:02. > :05:06.Telegraph. As somebody in the law profession, this seems
:05:07. > :05:09.extraordinary, the Cinderella Law to stop emotional child abuse. The
:05:10. > :05:14.Daily Telegraph is claiming that parents who start their children
:05:15. > :05:20.with love `` staff their children with love and affection face
:05:21. > :05:23.prosecution. If you were alive now, the wicked stepmother would have got
:05:24. > :05:27.away scot`free and emotional abuse has always been a gateway for social
:05:28. > :05:33.services to intervene in the family in civil proceedings. For that child
:05:34. > :05:36.for that to be removed into doubt as well. The issue is whether there
:05:37. > :05:41.should be a criminal don't mention to that and the CPS can step in and
:05:42. > :05:48.prosecute to a criminal standard, but how hard will that be to prove?
:05:49. > :05:56.The problem is you will have a child witness. Either a child in an
:05:57. > :06:00.immature sense or a child as an adult coming back and talking about
:06:01. > :06:04.historic abuse and you have seen where that leads to an sexual abuse
:06:05. > :06:07.cases when you have to talk about the past and the physical evidence
:06:08. > :06:12.just is not a. Could you see this coming into fruition or do you think
:06:13. > :06:17.it is just part of thinking? It is obviously a huge bubble and we know
:06:18. > :06:21.about increasing stories of child abuse and we know it is not just
:06:22. > :06:29.physical abuse that hurts. Mental cruelty is real. It is
:06:30. > :06:37.as serious as any other cruelty. I'm worried about the evidence of
:06:38. > :06:42.cruelty here. This seems to be a hard thing to prove. Politicians are
:06:43. > :06:49.interested in child welfare, for good reasons. We have had the big
:06:50. > :06:57.focus on child and internet porn. The protection of children is a
:06:58. > :07:07.political battlefield. Parents will be wondering... Making a child a
:07:08. > :07:14.scapegoat or forcing degrading punishments are some of the issues.
:07:15. > :07:20.In civil family proceeding cases I have seen all three of these in an
:07:21. > :07:23.issue, for example, some families now becoming stepfamilies and
:07:24. > :07:27.stepchildren are marked out as in Cinderella, which is what it is
:07:28. > :07:33.about. People are blending families and traditional families are not
:07:34. > :07:35.what you think they are. The abuse is mostly concentrated on broken
:07:36. > :07:42.families and we know it can take place anywhere. It is
:07:43. > :07:58.democratic, it does not matter where you come from. The
:07:59. > :08:03.issue is we have had this idea that emotional harm can happen and does
:08:04. > :08:07.cause harm. In the criminal courts, it will be very difficult to prove
:08:08. > :08:16.that there has been emotional damage from this. The independent talks
:08:17. > :08:20.about the EU and a claim that according to a new report the North
:08:21. > :08:28.and Midlands would be hit hardest by Britain quitting the EU. I will be
:08:29. > :08:35.watching Manchester United play Bayern Munich. That is on Tuesday
:08:36. > :08:43.night. Then we have another barrage between Nick Clegg and Nigel
:08:44. > :08:49.barrage. `` Nigel Farage. This will be a big debate on the BBC. It is
:08:50. > :08:53.vital for both leaders of Ukip and the Lib Dems to prove their
:08:54. > :08:58.convictions. It will be a munition for Nick Clegg. We have heard of 3
:08:59. > :09:04.million jobs at risk if Britain leads the EU, but now the scare is
:09:05. > :09:09.that it will be 4 million jobs. Is this a scare? I think it is a scare.
:09:10. > :09:17.Europe will not stop trading with Britain. It says the North and the
:09:18. > :09:36.Midlands hit hardest, it should actually say Scotland, the North and
:09:37. > :09:40.the Midlands. Here it in the Sun on page two it says Nigel Farage has
:09:41. > :09:45.called Vladimir Putin the world leader he most admires because he
:09:46. > :09:51.was brilliant on Syria. This is extraordinary. Will we praised
:09:52. > :09:57.Mussolini for making the trains run on time? I think this is a big gaffe
:09:58. > :10:08.form I shall barrage to praise Vladimir Putin. `` from Nigel
:10:09. > :10:12.Farage. The annexation of Crimea was illegal and nations in Crimea have
:10:13. > :10:21.posted against it. `` nations in Europe. He has a point. We have all
:10:22. > :10:26.been playing Scrabble here in the press, sending rude letters to the
:10:27. > :10:29.Times. Putin has played the best game of chess in his life and he
:10:30. > :10:36.outsmarted us. Nigel Farage has to accept that. To be fair, he says it
:10:37. > :10:44.is his operating skills rather than his police that he admires. I think
:10:45. > :10:48.it is crass to admire him in this way. It is something spin doctors
:10:49. > :10:54.would advise another politician not to say. The interview the newspapers
:10:55. > :10:58.are picking up on was given before he made his remarks in a debate last
:10:59. > :11:05.week. A thing it will come back to haunt him. The Daily Mirror have
:11:06. > :11:11.gone with an investigative story, saying that Qatar, in their buildup
:11:12. > :11:16.for the World Cup, is accused of working 1200 people to death in the
:11:17. > :11:23.building bonanza. I couldn't believe it. It was shocking, the level of
:11:24. > :11:30.economic slavery and the fact that people are being forced to drink
:11:31. > :11:35.saltwater, they are paid 57p an hour, and campaigners fear the death
:11:36. > :11:44.toll could be as high as 4000. That is before the finals kick off. When
:11:45. > :11:52.economic controls are lifted on capitalism, this is what you get,
:11:53. > :11:57.slavery. Who is checking? There is no want to check on them. We have
:11:58. > :12:02.been worried about the decision of giving the World Cup to Qatar and
:12:03. > :12:07.worried about footballers playing in extreme conditions. This story is
:12:08. > :12:10.about forgetting the footballers coping in 90 minutes of harsh
:12:11. > :12:16.conditions, these workers day in day out for long hours are allegedly
:12:17. > :12:21.being exploited by Qatar and I think it is another reason why the World
:12:22. > :12:31.Cup should not have been given to this desert `based nation. One of
:12:32. > :12:35.the goals of the World Cup is to uplift everyone and ensure everyone
:12:36. > :12:39.works to the same standard. There should be part of the bidding
:12:40. > :12:54.process that people must sign up to a basic level... Low but the Fed
:12:55. > :13:01.were not interested. `` But, FIFA. FIFA, one of the great institutions
:13:02. > :13:06.of the world has given one of the greatest football institutions to
:13:07. > :13:16.this country. This is just another reason why the World Cup should not
:13:17. > :13:22.be heading their. `` there. The story I haven't seen elsewhere, the
:13:23. > :13:29.Daily Mail with the headline, births to mums over 50 soaring. I don't
:13:30. > :13:33.know whether we should be happy about that or what the point it is
:13:34. > :13:42.trying to make. Menopausal motherhood. That's easy for you to
:13:43. > :13:47.say. It will be the new NHS story. It is a new revolution. Three women
:13:48. > :13:51.each week over 50 and it is the idea that we could see grandmothers who
:13:52. > :13:58.have gone naturally through the menopause, carrying their own
:13:59. > :14:04.infertile daughter's children. This is how life will be lived, I
:14:05. > :14:09.believe, in the next decade. Menopause will not be an issue any
:14:10. > :14:19.more and we will have women carrying their children in their 50s and 60s.
:14:20. > :14:25.It is a double standard, really. They do well enough. Older mothers
:14:26. > :14:35.usually have the, usually have the resources and the ability. I agree
:14:36. > :14:41.with what she says about the capacities that parents often have.
:14:42. > :14:46.We worry about the age gap, but older people understand the school
:14:47. > :14:50.system, the health service, they are able to get the best services for
:14:51. > :14:56.their children. What they lack in being able to play football in the
:14:57. > :15:01.park, they bring out intellectual skills. Getting a pension and
:15:02. > :15:10.getting your child benefit at the same time. I did not think of that
:15:11. > :15:19.one. Joking aside, if mother and child are both healthy, that is
:15:20. > :15:25.fine. Women are living longer. The whole idea of middle`aged has moved
:15:26. > :15:32.up a notch. Thank you very much indeed. We appreciate your input
:15:33. > :15:38.this evening. That is it for the newspapers for today. Stay with us,
:15:39. > :15:43.at midnight we will have the latest on talks between the United States
:15:44. > :15:49.and Russia discussing the crisis in Ukraine. Coming up, it is time for
:15:50. > :16:09.the Film Review. Hello, and welcome to the Film
:16:10. > :16:11.Review. To take us through
