:00:00. > :00:00.the Ashes and failed to reach the semifinals of the World Twenty20 in
:00:00. > :00:00.Bangladesh. That is all coming up in Sportsday in around 15 minutes after
:00:07. > :00:17.the Papers. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead
:00:18. > :00:20.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the
:00:21. > :00:26.political commentator Miranda Green and James Millar of the Sunday Post.
:00:27. > :00:30.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the Mirror, and a warning that
:00:31. > :00:37.cuts to the NHS could lead to waits of up to four weeks to see your GP.
:00:38. > :00:40.A different warning in the Guardian, this time over wind farms. The paper
:00:41. > :00:45.says David Cameron is considering reducing financial support for
:00:46. > :00:48.onshore projects. Immigration leads on the Mail, which claims four
:00:49. > :00:57.migrants died in Calais trying to board lorries bound for Britain. The
:00:58. > :01:01.Metro has a court case featuring a woman who allegedly claimed benefits
:01:02. > :01:05.for agoraphobia while working as a travel writer.
:01:06. > :01:08.More migration on the Express, figures from migration watch
:01:09. > :01:13.estimates that half a million people will come to the UK from the EU over
:01:14. > :01:17.the next five years. The Times has news that the Met
:01:18. > :01:20.Office has developed a new weather modelling system that could lead to
:01:21. > :01:26.more accurate predictions and long`range forecasting. That would
:01:27. > :01:32.be nice! Not that they get it wrong much, they do a great job. OK, we
:01:33. > :01:36.will start with the Gudgin, Tories planned new attack on wind farms,
:01:37. > :01:41.Cameron considering commitment to curb onshore turbines. He is getting
:01:42. > :01:47.hassle from some of his own MPs on this. Absolutely right, and we have
:01:48. > :01:51.come very long way from the David Cameron who used to say vote blue,
:01:52. > :01:59.go green. You sound like Ed Miliband! Do I?! How do I take that
:02:00. > :02:03.today?! This is interesting, not just because of the substance of the
:02:04. > :02:07.policy. People who do not like wind farms really don't like wind farms,
:02:08. > :02:12.they think turbines are a blot on the landscape, and the story says
:02:13. > :02:16.there are people who want Cameron to go as far as promising they will
:02:17. > :02:19.dismantle existing wind farms, not just put a block on building
:02:20. > :02:24.anymore. This is one of those stories where, within the
:02:25. > :02:27.coalition, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems take totally different
:02:28. > :02:33.points of view, and both of them appeal to their own supporters. I
:02:34. > :02:37.call these the Jack Spratt coalition rows, because if you take these
:02:38. > :02:39.anti`turbine boaters, we will take the green policy voters, and
:02:40. > :02:47.everybody is happy until the election. Sure. James, branded made
:02:48. > :02:53.it clear, as Ed Miliband has made it clear, go green, vote blue, he has
:02:54. > :02:58.attacked David Cameron, the taxes that were part of the green levy and
:02:59. > :03:02.made great play of the suggestion that these were responsible for a
:03:03. > :03:07.company like SSE, one of the big six energy firms, actually freezing its
:03:08. > :03:11.prices. Are we seeing a major shift here in policy? Especially one day
:03:12. > :03:18.after the climate change report from the EU. No, this is not a major
:03:19. > :03:23.shift, this is not a major story. Nonsense? Well, what I suspect as
:03:24. > :03:29.happened here, the way it was reported, the Lib Dems got all the
:03:30. > :03:33.benefit, if you like... The Tories felt like, hang on, we're supposed
:03:34. > :03:37.to get some of the benefit, we want our supporters to understand we do
:03:38. > :03:41.not like wind farms, and so something may have been confected to
:03:42. > :03:46.keep the story running for another day, and suddenly the Tories are
:03:47. > :03:50.getting the benefit. As I understand it, most wind farms are built
:03:51. > :03:54.offshore, most plans for offshore now anyway. So you can say, I will
:03:55. > :03:58.crack down on onshore wind farms, but it will not make a huge amount
:03:59. > :04:02.of difference. There is a potentially serious consequence,
:04:03. > :04:06.though, of all of this grandstanding on energy is used, which is
:04:07. > :04:13.investment. Because nobody on any side of the political spectrum once
:04:14. > :04:17.the lights to go out, and for energy security you do actually need
:04:18. > :04:21.investment to continue during these years when we are having a sort of
:04:22. > :04:26.pause, where people stayed out political territory on these energy
:04:27. > :04:30.policies. And this is a problem, and there are warnings in this story
:04:31. > :04:34.that there is yet more uncertainty about where the subsidies will go,
:04:35. > :04:38.whether support will be withdrawn for one sort of renewable or
:04:39. > :04:42.another. That will inhibit people from making the investments we need.
:04:43. > :04:47.On top of that, the investigation that will be taking place into the
:04:48. > :04:53.big six energy firms. Yeah, we need energy. It is all very well saying,
:04:54. > :04:56.we will dismantle wind farms, but you need to say what you will
:04:57. > :05:01.replace it with. Look, at the moment, both parties, all parties
:05:02. > :05:05.are knocking the energy companies. They are not really presenting a
:05:06. > :05:11.vision as to how the energy market and how the light will be kept on in
:05:12. > :05:18.the future. Sure, all right, staying with the Guardian, fears mount over
:05:19. > :05:23.fraud in Afghan vote, foreign troops will be pulling out, but there is a
:05:24. > :05:30.fear by some that it will be a flawed election. Yeah! I would
:05:31. > :05:34.suggest the years of quite a lot of fraud. One of the interesting fact
:05:35. > :05:38.of the story is that only a quarter of Afghans expect the vote to be
:05:39. > :05:44.clean. I'm amazed a quarter expected to be clean, because it is just not
:05:45. > :05:48.going to be. But you know, the ultimate question is, is a dodgy
:05:49. > :05:52.election better than no election? Given what these people have put up
:05:53. > :05:56.with for decades now, it is a lot better than the alternative. Sure.
:05:57. > :06:00.And the fear is that, whatever the results of the election, the Taliban
:06:01. > :06:05.will come back anyway. Well, that is right. The main story that has been
:06:06. > :06:09.running so far in the run`up to the election this coming weekend is
:06:10. > :06:14.actually the massive upturn in Taliban attacks. There have been
:06:15. > :06:18.some really nasty murders in the last two weeks. But I think,
:06:19. > :06:23.actually, hiding within this story, which is presented as, you know,
:06:24. > :06:26.fears mount, as the Guardian says about the quality of the election
:06:27. > :06:31.results ` there is some positive stuff hiding in the story. For
:06:32. > :06:35.example, four in five Afghans say they are planning to vote. If that
:06:36. > :06:41.comes to pass, that would be a massive, massive vote of confidence
:06:42. > :06:46.in the idea of a future that could be peaceful and democratic. So you
:06:47. > :06:49.know, obviously there are massive problems with mounting a
:06:50. > :06:53.presidential election at the moment, with the levels of violence, with
:06:54. > :06:58.the uncertainties of what will follow when NATO troops pull`out.
:06:59. > :07:02.But you know, it could be the start of a new era, and they need support
:07:03. > :07:09.from us to try to make it so. All right, OK, to the front of the
:07:10. > :07:15.Mirror, a four`week wait to see your GP, exclusive cuts Shane! Is this
:07:16. > :07:29.over the top from a left`leaning paper or not? Surely not! What are
:07:30. > :07:37.you suggesting?! Conder and `` condemn with no N on the end. That
:07:38. > :07:41.is their phrase for the coalition. There are two big problems with the
:07:42. > :07:45.NHS at the moment, the A crisis we have heard a lot about in the last
:07:46. > :07:50.six months, that has been on the front pages a lot. Also, a problem
:07:51. > :07:58.with primary care, with GPs surgeries, and this is a new study
:07:59. > :08:04.which is suggesting that they quite serious funding cut which will come
:08:05. > :08:09.to surgeries will result in patients not been seen very quickly by their
:08:10. > :08:13.GP, in fact four`week delays. There are warnings from GPs about this,
:08:14. > :08:18.they are worried about disease is not being spotted in time, which
:08:19. > :08:20.would have serious consequences for individual patients. But you know,
:08:21. > :08:24.we know the background to this is that there are not enough people who
:08:25. > :08:30.want to be GPs going through training, what structural problems.
:08:31. > :08:35.The Government says it is doing what it can to get more people into the
:08:36. > :08:43.profession. Yeah, this hits a nerve, because everybody, most people, have
:08:44. > :08:46.a problem phoning up the GP and not being able to get an appointment, or
:08:47. > :08:53.having to stay on the phone for an hour to get an appointment that day.
:08:54. > :08:57.So whatever the pros and cons, the weight of the story, it strikes a
:08:58. > :09:01.nerve with readers, and I think you can possibly judge how strong a
:09:02. > :09:04.story it is on the opening paragraph, which is patients will be
:09:05. > :09:08.harmed if they have to wait up to a month. That is pretty obvious, if
:09:09. > :09:14.you have to wait a month to see a doctor. But it is a big issue, it is
:09:15. > :09:20.certainly worth putting some light on it, I think. Indeed. Onto the
:09:21. > :09:26.Daily Mail, interesting story, this, James, four desperate migrants
:09:27. > :09:31.killed in Calais as they target lorries bound for the UK, dying to
:09:32. > :09:37.get into Britain. Yeah, this is on the front of the Express as well,
:09:38. > :09:40.both leading on migration, a report by migration watch, clearly they
:09:41. > :09:44.have an axe to grind. That does not mean their statistics are bad, but
:09:45. > :09:54.they have a point they want to get across. I think most journalists
:09:55. > :10:00.today got an e`mail from the Royal statistical Society suggesting that
:10:01. > :10:04.they enter their stories for use of stats awards. I do not think either
:10:05. > :10:06.of these will be in that category! The figures about hundreds of
:10:07. > :10:13.thousands of people arriving over five years, if you divide that up,
:10:14. > :10:17.it is not as bad as it suggests. We were bitten by that, with all the
:10:18. > :10:22.suggestions that the Romanians and Bulgarians were going to come over
:10:23. > :10:26.here. The Mail, this is about Miranda, people, I've covered this
:10:27. > :10:31.story several times, from northern France and I've seen these migrants
:10:32. > :10:35.wait for a lorry to slow down at the light and run out and try to get
:10:36. > :10:40.into the back. I've seen some of them hanging on to the doors as the
:10:41. > :10:46.lorries drive away. This is the story that the Mail is highlighting,
:10:47. > :10:51.including the figures. These are desperate people in some of those
:10:52. > :10:56.refugee camps. Sangatte was the very famous one, which became a standoff
:10:57. > :10:58.between the British and French governments because they were
:10:59. > :11:02.concerned that the French were effectively just letting too many
:11:03. > :11:10.people escape and risk their own lives quite seriously trying to get
:11:11. > :11:16.foo Britain through the Eurotunnel. I think MigrationWatch have released
:11:17. > :11:20.this report. They've got the dramatic photographs that you
:11:21. > :11:24.referred to, of the guys desperately trying to get into the lorry. The
:11:25. > :11:29.reason they're on the front pages tomorrow morning, because tomorrow
:11:30. > :11:36.night is the second debate between Nick Clegg and Nigel Fer rather and
:11:37. > :11:42.the debate is `` Nigel Farage and the debate is about immigration and
:11:43. > :11:47.it's a huge issue and it's more and more unpopular. This is going to be
:11:48. > :11:55.ammunition for Nigel Farage tomorrow night. Yeah. He picks it up with the
:11:56. > :12:00.welfare system and it's kind of a separate issue to the immigration
:12:01. > :12:04.issue. I don't care how generous it is, would you be willing to jump on
:12:05. > :12:09.the back of a moving lorry? Maybe. It depends what you're leaving. I
:12:10. > :12:13.have covered this story a number of times and the migrants I were
:12:14. > :12:17.talking to, they wanted to get over here because there were networks
:12:18. > :12:23.here. That's why they wanted to get here. No point staying in France.
:12:24. > :12:30.OK. The front of the express express too. `` The Express too it talks of
:12:31. > :12:35.the 12`year`old girl who was crushed to death when a wall collapsed at
:12:36. > :12:41.her school. Internal wall at Liberton High School. We'll go on to
:12:42. > :12:46.that about a story about The Sahara dust that's on the front page. We
:12:47. > :12:49.have got the inside page of one of the papers here that's covering this
:12:50. > :12:55.story. A lot of people woke up to their cars covered in dust. We have
:12:56. > :13:00.got it from The Telegraph site now. I have got building work next door
:13:01. > :13:05.to me and I thought it was the builders who were pretty sloppy in
:13:06. > :13:10.their clearing up and they were potentially going to come to see and
:13:11. > :13:15.say it's the desert. It turns out they were not spinning you a line.
:13:16. > :13:20.No, they got it right. They did. That's right. Those of us who get
:13:21. > :13:23.hayfever have noticed it's a lot worse and that's to do with
:13:24. > :13:27.pollution too. They're saying it's quite serious for the vulnerable and
:13:28. > :13:31.people with lung conditions, the very elderly and young and they're
:13:32. > :13:38.gloomy, saying we shouldn't be taking exercise outside tomorrow.
:13:39. > :13:43.It's a shame because obviously the summer weather we're getting early
:13:44. > :13:47.is fantastic and we would like to be out enjoying it. The answer is to
:13:48. > :13:53.move to Scotland. You don't have to worry about dust there. Will we need
:13:54. > :13:59.a passport soon to get in? That is a separate issue. How long have you
:14:00. > :14:03.got for that one? Thank you both. You'll be back in an hour's time and
:14:04. > :14:08.the industry has been holding its Oscars, the Press Awards. It's been
:14:09. > :14:15.announced the front page of the year has gone to... Sunday People for
:14:16. > :14:18.their piece on Charles Saatchi and Nigel Lawson from June last year,
:14:19. > :14:23.which became one of the year's biggest stories. That was an
:14:24. > :14:29.arresting front page. Probably worthy winner. So many
:14:30. > :14:33.congratulations to them. Stay with us for the top of the hour because
:14:34. > :14:36.we'll have much more on the Government insisting that the
:14:37. > :14:40.privatisation of Royal Mail has been success, after the sell`off was
:14:41. > :14:44.accused `` after the Government was accused of selling it off far too
:14:45. > :15:06.cheaply. Now time for Sportsday. Welcome to Sportsday. Here's what's
:15:07. > :15:09.on the way ` Manchester United hold the European champions to a draw to
:15:10. > :15:14.keep their Champions League quarter final tie alive. Tiger Woods will
