:00:00. > 3:59:59Secretary tried to intimidate the parliamentary watchdog that was

:00:00. > :00:24.investigating her. Welcome to our look ahead at what

:00:25. > :00:29.the papers will bring us tomorrow. Whitney is a regular face, Vincent

:00:30. > :00:37.Moss, political editor of the Sunday Mirror. We are also joined by Martin

:00:38. > :00:47.Bentham. Let's look at the front pages. More detail on the possible

:00:48. > :01:11.signals from the black box of the Malaysia airliner.

:01:12. > :01:20.The Sunday Times says the Army is thinking about lifting the ban on

:01:21. > :01:25.women serving in armed combat units. One story, as expected, still

:01:26. > :01:30.dominates. That is Maria Miller. Calls

:01:31. > :01:35.increasing for her to go. The Telegraph `` the Sunday Telegraph

:01:36. > :01:46.broke the story. These are the other headlines.

:01:47. > :01:53.The Observer pushes the story down to the bottom corner, but it is

:01:54. > :01:57.still there, support ebbing away from the league administered. Those

:01:58. > :02:03.headlines despite support still coming out of Downing Street. We

:02:04. > :02:06.heard from Grant Shapps today, the Conservative chairman, the Prime

:02:07. > :02:15.Minister supporting her. But it is not going away. The Sunday Telegraph

:02:16. > :02:19.has spoken to a minister saying her position is incompatible and she

:02:20. > :02:23.must go. Most are speculating that she will go at the next reshuffle.

:02:24. > :02:30.There is not a huge amount of public support. Grant Shapps you, you would

:02:31. > :02:33.expect to publicly support. So if the row trundles along, she will be

:02:34. > :02:38.an trundle that she will be in trouble. If she can get past the

:02:39. > :02:45.spring forum, she will be fine in the short term. Do you think,

:02:46. > :02:53.particularly when the Mail On Sunday say that 80% of the public thing,

:02:54. > :02:59.will they be worried? David Cameron might think it will blow over

:03:00. > :03:03.although if you leave a sour taste. As far as her actually going in the

:03:04. > :03:08.short`term, one of the things about the stories is that there is no

:03:09. > :03:15.dynamite new revelation. That is what with sink in the next few days.

:03:16. > :03:21.Cameron wants cling onto her. They are not named ministers, either. The

:03:22. > :03:28.Telegraph 's talks about speaking to 50 activists who said there was no

:03:29. > :03:35.support. But they cannot get a major named Conservative minister to talk.

:03:36. > :03:40.She has also not had a huge amount of public support, either. But

:03:41. > :03:44.Vincent, you have to remember it was mainly the expenses scandal which

:03:45. > :03:51.led to such a low turnout in the last election which is why we are

:03:52. > :03:55.left with a coalition government. That's right. If this was somebody

:03:56. > :03:59.fiddling their benefits, they would probably get a jail sentence. The

:04:00. > :04:06.way that she has behaved over her housing expenses it is hard to see

:04:07. > :04:10.why she has got so lightly. I completely agree. Any normal member

:04:11. > :04:14.of public would think there was something not right here. Her

:04:15. > :04:19.apology was lacking in grace, to say the least. Her conduct in trying to

:04:20. > :04:26.put pressure on, argue with, not cooperate with the enquiry was also

:04:27. > :04:30.distasteful. More than the actual thing itself. If she had said it was

:04:31. > :04:36.an error and she thought she was applying the rules, but to behave as

:04:37. > :04:41.she has following all that is, that leaves a sour taste. The person who

:04:42. > :04:46.might gain most from this is Nigel Farage as the outsider. It does not

:04:47. > :04:48.cast a good light on politics. It has been terrible handling by

:04:49. > :04:53.Downing Street. When the Prime Minister says that we are drawing a

:04:54. > :04:59.line under this, you think, no we are not!

:05:00. > :05:03.The other story that dominates is the signal, not confirmed, from the

:05:04. > :05:08.black box. The Malaysia airliner that has been missing for some time

:05:09. > :05:12.now. If you find that black box, you could find the plane as well. That

:05:13. > :05:21.is covered on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph. You think about

:05:22. > :05:24.the relatives of those lost on the airliner. They just want answers.

:05:25. > :05:31.All the answers lie in the box at the bottom of the sea bed. We have

:05:32. > :05:36.had a lot of false alarms. This looks like it may not be. The

:05:37. > :05:40.Chinese themselves put it out directly. That suggest that they are

:05:41. > :05:45.quite confident. The frequency is right and if they can track it down,

:05:46. > :05:49.that will allow them to eventually locate the black box and have some

:05:50. > :05:57.indication, maybe not definitive, as to what happened. But it will be a

:05:58. > :06:02.little clearer. The problem is, the suggestion is in the Telegraph, that

:06:03. > :06:07.the black box could be as deep as 4500 metres. And recovery vehicles

:06:08. > :06:11.only go down 3000 metres. And the pinger only goes on for a certain

:06:12. > :06:16.amount of time and we may not find it in time. It has all the elements

:06:17. > :06:22.of a race against time. We do not know if they will find it in time. I

:06:23. > :06:29.think somebody was saying it dies out after 30 days because `` so

:06:30. > :06:32.we're running out of time. I was speaking to a salvage master. He

:06:33. > :06:37.said that finding the black box was difficult enough, try getting it to

:06:38. > :06:41.the surface. Staying with the front page of the

:06:42. > :06:51.Sunday Telegraph, a tiny box but a shocking story. A Britain is shot

:06:52. > :06:58.dead in Brazil carjacking. `` a British man. Lots of stories about

:06:59. > :07:05.violence in Brazil. This is not a tourist case, he has lived there for

:07:06. > :07:08.some years. It may be just an example of violent crimes against

:07:09. > :07:13.people in Brazil as opposed to the tourist areas, so it might be

:07:14. > :07:18.different. Obviously, we will got a lot of this kind of profile for this

:07:19. > :07:22.kind of story about anything in Brazil because of the World Cup

:07:23. > :07:27.coming up. Lots of people travelling out there and potentially at risk. I

:07:28. > :07:32.have just come back from there and the divide in Brazil between those

:07:33. > :07:37.living in human misery and turning to crime, and those not, is quite

:07:38. > :07:42.shocking. There will be a lot of stories like that coming up in the

:07:43. > :07:47.build`up to the World Cup about just how safe British people will be in

:07:48. > :07:54.Brazil. Let's move on to the Independent on

:07:55. > :08:00.Sunday. A story there, a story you have written about as well, Vincent.

:08:01. > :08:06.Supermarkets in the dock over waste. Quite a shocking headline. The rest

:08:07. > :08:12.throws away 222 million tonnes of food a year. That is as much as is

:08:13. > :08:17.produced in the sub Saharan Africa. This report is coming up tomorrow

:08:18. > :08:19.from a committee of peers in the House of Lords. We have looked on

:08:20. > :08:29.food waste and they have astonishing figures. ?5 billion a year wasted in

:08:30. > :08:32.England `` in the UK. This controversial report will suggest

:08:33. > :08:37.that supermarkets are in the dock and one of the problems is buy one

:08:38. > :08:41.get one free. It encourages us to buy fresh fruit which we don't use

:08:42. > :08:47.and throw away. It's a supermarkets are also terrible for getting us to

:08:48. > :08:50.buy food and then they cancel the order and the farmers are forced to

:08:51. > :08:56.plough it into the ground and it goes to waste. Europe should do more

:08:57. > :09:01.to tackle this, food waste is going `` is a growing problem and it is a

:09:02. > :09:05.good report. Why do they end up cancelling the order? Because they

:09:06. > :09:10.don't know what the demand will be? Yes, they can't sell the order

:09:11. > :09:14.because it is misshapen, consumer demand changes, they then tell the

:09:15. > :09:19.farmers they do not want it and it ends up being wasted. This also

:09:20. > :09:25.makes the point of the fact that producers have big penalties if they

:09:26. > :09:28.don't deliver the right amount. So they overcompensate so that they are

:09:29. > :09:33.not caught the right way. They produce more than they need to so

:09:34. > :09:37.the result is that food is wasted. It says here that the European

:09:38. > :09:43.Commission estimates that 5% of food waste comes direct retailers, 42%

:09:44. > :09:51.from consumers and 39% from this `` from producers. But the onus is on

:09:52. > :09:59.the supermarket because some of the practices encourage us to buy too

:10:00. > :10:05.much. Or with the producers where are encouraged to produce more by

:10:06. > :10:09.cancelling late and they are throwing it away so it goes on their

:10:10. > :10:14.books as a waste rather than your books as the retailer. What a

:10:15. > :10:20.shocking about this, it was not that long ago that there was a report

:10:21. > :10:25.about how much food we throw away. The price of food is shocking, it is

:10:26. > :10:30.not cheap! Supermarket food is not cheap, is it? The food bill is

:10:31. > :10:34.really high for everyone. So you would think people would not be

:10:35. > :10:40.throwing it away. It is tempting though, when you see a special

:10:41. > :10:44.offer. They are quite right to apply pressure on supermarkets and

:10:45. > :10:48.consumers to think about it. Also sell by dates. Ignore those little

:10:49. > :10:55.bit and actually just look at things. They are smart packaging.

:10:56. > :10:59.Rather than use by date, have a date that you really should not have it

:11:00. > :11:05.by. Extend the period that you can eat it. And also, although I need to

:11:06. > :11:09.look in this `` look at this in more detail, if you think about it, if we

:11:10. > :11:17.are expecting the most perfect looking fruit, that'll bump up the

:11:18. > :11:21.cost. You will throw away food, and the cost of that must be somewhere,

:11:22. > :11:26.so that put up the cost in the supermarket as well.

:11:27. > :11:36.Finally, in the Observer, revealed, Michael Gove's build `` bid to limit

:11:37. > :11:42.fallout from failing free schools. It looked like he is after damage

:11:43. > :11:47.limitation. They are making this out to be a big scandal. Free schools

:11:48. > :11:51.are a big political divide between the Tories and the Labour Party. It

:11:52. > :11:54.is saying that this document says that in the Department for

:11:55. > :12:00.Education, they have asked for any problems with free schools to be

:12:01. > :12:04.flagged up and rapid action taken. The contrast with the normal local

:12:05. > :12:09.authority school where often has to declare them to be failing. That

:12:10. > :12:15.this is somehow all about politics. I think it is probably just reality,

:12:16. > :12:19.as it says in the story, as free schools just having been setup have

:12:20. > :12:26.specific problems like the new sites and people running the business.

:12:27. > :12:30.They have had one two failures and they need to protect parents by

:12:31. > :12:36.taking rapid action. That is not a bad thing. That is true, but that is

:12:37. > :12:41.generous to Michael Gove. He cannot have his flagship measure `` policy

:12:42. > :12:46.failing in the run`up to an election. There will be schools

:12:47. > :12:51.which have had issues about setting up, but there are schools which will

:12:52. > :12:56.be badly run and that should be highlighted. I am not sure that it

:12:57. > :13:01.is saying they should not highlight it, they are saying that action

:13:02. > :13:08.should be taken to sort it out. If you were a parent, you would want

:13:09. > :13:13.something to happen pretty rapidly. But they should do that with all

:13:14. > :13:18.schools. But there is a structure with all schools. Thank you to you

:13:19. > :13:21.both for now. Thank you for watching. Vincent and Martin will be

:13:22. > :13:34.back at 11:30pm for another look at the stories. Stay with us. Here on

:13:35. > :13:38.BBC news at 11, more on the search for MH370. Australian authorities

:13:40. > :14:07.with a black box. Welcome to Reporters. From here in
