:00:00. > :00:00.concentrate on Team Sky, and we will bring you the results from rugby
:00:00. > :00:00.league, including the top two in the rugby league. That is in 15 minutes
:00:00. > :00:21.time after the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:22. > :00:28.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the writer
:00:29. > :00:37.Dreda Say Mitchell, and Jeremy Cliffe of The Economist. Tomorrow's
:00:38. > :00:39.front pages, starting with The Financial Times saying the
:00:40. > :00:50.government will make it easier to prosecute people who evade taxes by
:00:51. > :00:52.hiding money off`shore. The Independent says Parliament's
:00:53. > :00:55.expenses watchdog will look into claims the taxpayer indirectly
:00:56. > :00:57.funded a suite for what the paper calls a 'sex party' during a
:00:58. > :00:59.Conservative party conference. The Telegraph says families with
:01:00. > :01:02.stay`at`home parents pay more tax than most of their equivalents
:01:03. > :01:07.across the developed world. The Mirror leads on the Oscar Pistorius
:01:08. > :01:10.trial. The Mail reports on allegations that the Liberal Party,
:01:11. > :01:13.police and MI5 covered up child abuse committed by the former MP,
:01:14. > :01:16.Cyril Smith. The Express says there's confidence that the black
:01:17. > :01:19.box from the missing Malaysian airliner will soon be found. A
:01:20. > :01:27.senior Liberal Democrat MP has told the Times that his party is
:01:28. > :01:29.'pointless'. And the Guardian says the Attorney General wants an
:01:30. > :01:31.explanation from the Crown Prosecution Service about the failed
:01:32. > :01:42.prosecutions of public figures for alleged sex offences. So let's
:01:43. > :01:47.begin. Plenty to get stuck into this evening. This, at the Guardian,
:01:48. > :01:51.let's start here. A story I have not seen in any of the others, at least
:01:52. > :01:56.not in the front pages, that supermarket staff could win millions
:01:57. > :02:03.in equal pay action. This highlighting, Dreda, that it is a
:02:04. > :02:10.case brought by some 400 workers who are mainly women seeking equal pay.
:02:11. > :02:17.I think so. It is an offshoot from women winning a landmark case with
:02:18. > :02:22.Birmingham city workers Council. Women once again. It is about this
:02:23. > :02:37.whole thing where in supermarkets, our `` our jobs equivalent? Women
:02:38. > :02:47.work in the stalls, and it is male dominated distribution centres. ``
:02:48. > :02:51.stores. It seems that the males are being paid more, it is interesting,
:02:52. > :02:57.it always seems to be women missing out. It goes back to our earlier
:02:58. > :03:03.story. Women coming out to work, or should they be staying at home with
:03:04. > :03:09.their children? This is to do with local authorities also, isn't it? It
:03:10. > :03:12.comes off the back of a series of lawsuits and local authorities. How
:03:13. > :03:19.do you measure the differences between jobs? It is an imprecise
:03:20. > :03:37.science. The stores say that the men who are the stalkers in question, it
:03:38. > :03:42.``the stores. It suggests there is something wrong with how women are
:03:43. > :03:48.paid. It is an important test case. It will affect virtually all of the
:03:49. > :03:59.major supermarkets. And supermarket giants? It can trigger a wave of
:04:00. > :04:02.six. Including those who own their own distribution warehouses. There
:04:03. > :04:12.are men there who are doing the equivalent of retail jobs. We are
:04:13. > :04:16.supportive, only one person is going to end up paying for this and this
:04:17. > :04:21.is the customer? Every time we hear repeated stories about women not
:04:22. > :04:27.being paid as much as men. It sounds so old`fashioned and last century,
:04:28. > :04:32.just because a job is more manual, another job where it isn't as
:04:33. > :04:37.manual, you get paid less. We are not doing manual work. Do we get
:04:38. > :04:42.paid less because they are doing manual work? We are not really. It
:04:43. > :04:48.is an interesting one. I think somebody definitely has to resolve
:04:49. > :04:59.this. Onto the next one, we have the Daily Telegraph. Here, it's a
:05:00. > :05:04.story, primary school children as young as ten should be taught about
:05:05. > :05:08.illegal drugs. I think what is interesting with this story is that
:05:09. > :05:12.it is not currently part of the national curriculum. And what we
:05:13. > :05:16.know about the national curriculum is that education is not only about
:05:17. > :05:20.subjects, English, maths, and science. We must look at the hidden
:05:21. > :05:24.curriculum. We have to look at issues to do with health. If we are
:05:25. > :05:31.not talking to children about health from an early age, how will they be
:05:32. > :05:35.aware of the dangers? Let's be clear, when I think of schools that
:05:36. > :05:39.I have taught in and the areas, some really hard`core areas, of course
:05:40. > :05:45.children know about drugs. It is better that we educate them to look
:05:46. > :05:50.after their bodies. For me, this is a health issue. Jeremy, you are
:05:51. > :05:55.agreeing. I had to agree with you there, there is a mad objection to
:05:56. > :06:04.teaching children about drugs and sex in schools. If a teacher sets
:06:05. > :06:12.out the facts to a group of children, they will go out and find
:06:13. > :06:15.the nearest drug dealer, that is completely mad. What about the odd
:06:16. > :06:19.midweek are taking away their childhood? We are enhancing it by
:06:20. > :06:23.getting them to think about their bodies. I was trying to put across
:06:24. > :06:30.the other side, but I can tell that I have been completely quashed!
:06:31. > :06:34.Jeremy, you are to explain this. This is a study by the OECD,
:06:35. > :06:39.representing a group of developed economies, that shows all the taxes
:06:40. > :06:43.have been falling when it comes to the UK generally, and a load of
:06:44. > :06:50.other countries, the only exception is among families where one parent
:06:51. > :06:54.goes out to work and the other stays at home. The article states there is
:06:55. > :06:57.a failing on the part of the government. I look at this the other
:06:58. > :07:02.way around, taxes have generally fallen in Britain over the last few
:07:03. > :07:05.years, is it necessarily so bad the government has focused the benefit
:07:06. > :07:11.of tax cuts of those in work? Maybe not. They talk about hard`working
:07:12. > :07:17.families and people, I do not know if it is as completely negative as
:07:18. > :07:24.the article suggests. Dreda, we were talking about some of your friends
:07:25. > :07:28.suffering from the high cost of childcare? It is astronomical, when
:07:29. > :07:35.I think of the people who I know, people are pulling, one person will
:07:36. > :07:50.look after a number of people 's children. ``pooling. It goes back to
:07:51. > :07:54.the notion of extended families. I find it interesting, often we revert
:07:55. > :07:58.back to things that we know and it has worked well. I am pleased to see
:07:59. > :08:02.that happening again, actually. It is typical on the continent, in the
:08:03. > :08:07.Mediterranean, it is perfectly normal for families and neighbours
:08:08. > :08:09.to share tasks like childcare and Britain after elderly relatives.
:08:10. > :08:20.Perhaps there is a positive side to this? Moving on from the Telegraph,
:08:21. > :08:24.let's go onto this. Calls for David Cameron to face Farage a live TV
:08:25. > :08:31.debate. Nigel Farage has done battle with Nick Clegg. Calls now that
:08:32. > :08:37.David Cameron should go head to head. Jeremy, do you think... The
:08:38. > :08:41.argument is that he ought to be seen to be doing battle with Nigel
:08:42. > :08:46.Farage. Others would say you are giving Nigel Farage a platform? It
:08:47. > :08:50.is easy to say that David Cameron is dammed if he does, dammed if he
:08:51. > :08:55.doesn't, if he says no to the TV debate, people would say he is
:08:56. > :09:02.running scared of Nigel Farage, but if he says yes,
:09:03. > :09:06.running scared of Nigel Farage, but that is the case. In national
:09:07. > :09:12.issues, I think Nigel Farage would struggle, but in debating Europe,
:09:13. > :09:17.his favourite topic he didn't. He turned around, but with a big
:09:18. > :09:35.national subject, he would say we do not have a good policy on this. I .
:09:36. > :09:42.Dreda, did you watch the debate? I did not. Would you watch it? I did
:09:43. > :09:48.not. I deliberately didn't. No interest? I felt like, as a member
:09:49. > :09:53.of the public, I have been set up to think I should watch it, when I have
:09:54. > :09:58.watched Nigel Farage, people say he is a good speaker, but he has not
:09:59. > :10:02.come across as a great speaker to me. Everytime I seem to see him,
:10:03. > :10:08.Mike on the news this week, it sounded confrontational, it sounded
:10:09. > :10:17.loud. `` like. I wanted to switch off. In this story, I think David
:10:18. > :10:21.Cameron's grassroots are saying they want this to happen, and he should
:10:22. > :10:26.listen. You have to ask yourself how many people pay attention to this
:10:27. > :10:28.sort of thing? I did not notice the pub is packed with people clamouring
:10:29. > :10:35.to see Nick Clegg versus Nigel Farage. People have better things to
:10:36. > :10:38.do in most cases. It matters, I think it matters to how these things
:10:39. > :10:41.are reported in the press, it filters through, and they get the
:10:42. > :10:49.impression that Nigel Farage is a solid baiter and knows his own mind.
:10:50. > :11:00.It has an effect. `` solid debater. An inside story on the sun, there is
:11:01. > :11:05.a story doing the rounds, staff at schools who go and take, it would
:11:06. > :11:09.appear, time off work to get cheap holidays or get time off. If it was
:11:10. > :11:17.a school pupil taking time off, they would get a fine. On page seven,
:11:18. > :11:23.there is this headline. Dreda. This is not a normal story in a school.
:11:24. > :11:26.It is a particular story, we do not know the full details, I am
:11:27. > :11:31.conscious I do not know the full details, but an acting head teacher,
:11:32. > :11:36.who has taken off time in term time, to get married, for four
:11:37. > :11:40.weeks. There has been so much work done with schools and parents and
:11:41. > :11:44.families to ensure that children stay in school during term time, to
:11:45. > :11:50.the extent that I think parents can be fined. It seems odd that a
:11:51. > :11:57.governing body would appear to give head teachers time out of school
:11:58. > :12:01.during term time. What I am picking up from this is that she is an
:12:02. > :12:05.acting head teacher, she has an acting deputy head teacher, and I
:12:06. > :12:15.would suspect that is what is worrying parents. If you have them
:12:16. > :12:19.both in the positions as acting, this school is in a transition
:12:20. > :12:23.period, they need managers to make it sustainable and balanced. If the
:12:24. > :12:27.head teacher is not there, how can they do that? You do not think that
:12:28. > :12:33.anger is, because if I have done it you have got fined, but you can do
:12:34. > :12:37.this? I am picking up what I am reading here, the governing body is
:12:38. > :12:42.saying that the reason they gave her time off was that she was working
:12:43. > :12:49.extremely hard, and it sounds to me that this school is maybe at a point
:12:50. > :12:54.where it needs stability. I want to get in the circumstances, I think
:12:55. > :12:58.parents have reasons for this. The reason why the issue has been papers
:12:59. > :13:03.recently is that local authorities are fining parents for taking
:13:04. > :13:08.children of school term to go on holiday. For parents struggling to
:13:09. > :13:11.make ends meet and they want to take their children away, we know around
:13:12. > :13:15.the period of school holidays prices of flights and hotels go up
:13:16. > :13:19.stratospheric. It is not unreasonable for parents to think,
:13:20. > :13:28.let's take them out in the last week of term instead. That crackdown
:13:29. > :13:33.makes this sort of behaviour less palatable. In a statement, the
:13:34. > :13:37.school government said normally staff take leave during holidays,
:13:38. > :13:40.but the request was granted because the woman in question worked
:13:41. > :13:43.extremely hard. The statement said teaching would not be disrupted,
:13:44. > :13:51.adding the majority of parents wish her well. It is interesting, I would
:13:52. > :13:57.say, reading into this, if she is an acting head teacher, this is not a
:13:58. > :14:05.good time to believe in this. You would have to guide me through the
:14:06. > :14:11.Times, page three, in its completeness. It is Sherlock Holmes,
:14:12. > :14:24.but also game of thrones, that means nothing to me! I adore this show.
:14:25. > :14:30.Actually, it came on, two o'clock, season four, they transmitted it at
:14:31. > :14:37.the same time as the US aid. There are a series of academics studying
:14:38. > :14:42.it as a serious subject `` USA. One is doing a cultural critic and the
:14:43. > :14:50.other is looking into the climate. In Game of Thrones, there is a
:14:51. > :15:01.kingdom where it is perpetual winter. We can never predict what it
:15:02. > :15:04.is like, and the economy. I don't particularly like fantasy, but if
:15:05. > :15:09.you pretend it is set in mediaeval times, are all these parallels
:15:10. > :15:13.between game of thrones and mediaeval Europe `` Game of Thrones.
:15:14. > :15:20.It is exciting, thrilling, and I think people should eat studying it.
:15:21. > :15:30.Jeremy Lin completely nonplussed. I am completely new to this. When you
:15:31. > :15:37.say perpetual winter, Blade Runner was like that as well. Only nine
:15:38. > :15:45.episodes of Sherlock have been made so far, but they provided enough for
:15:46. > :15:50.a day`long symposium. I think this is birds being nerds, isn't it? That
:15:51. > :15:54.said, I think these things are not completely useless, because if this
:15:55. > :15:57.programme is getting so much interest and attention from people,
:15:58. > :16:03.not just fans but the national press, it must be part of the
:16:04. > :16:08.zeitgeist. It must say something about where we are as a society.
:16:09. > :16:16.Absolutely. I kind of understand more than I did. And you just will
:16:17. > :16:20.not stop watching it. And there will be a lot of people thinking, we
:16:21. > :16:26.don't want something else added into it. Thank you both for coming out
:16:27. > :16:29.here. That's it for The Papers this evening. Thank you to my guests
:16:30. > :16:32.Dreda Say Mitchell and Jeremy Cliffe. Stay with us here on BBC
:16:33. > :16:37.News. At midnight we'll have more on the court appearance of Seamus Daly
:16:38. > :16:55.over the Omagh bombing. But coming up next it's time for Sportsday.
:16:56. > :16:56.Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm Hugh Ferris. Bubba breaks
