gun laws and a T Rex skeleton that's hit the road. That's all coming up | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in Reporters. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Yasmin Alibhai`Brown, columnist from the Independent and Matthew Green, | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
journalist and author. Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: The | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Observer claims that thousands in a district of Damascus are running out | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
of food ` leading to relief agencies declaring it a crisis that is | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
"unprecedented in living memory". The Independent on Sunday has a | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
special report on mounting concern at global food security, claiming | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the World is on the brink of a Wheat Crisis. An exclusive from The Mail | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
On Sunday on a businessman, appointed by David Cameron, to head | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
a quango step downs after it was disclosed that he was bankrupt. The | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
Sunday Telegraph leads is how Ofsted are looking at putting at least six | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Birmingham schools into special measures. And the Sunday Times | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
claims that senior Labour figures are concerned that basing an | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
election strategy around the "cost of living crisis" may lead to the | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
party looking like a "one trick pony". So, let's begin. Matthew, we | :01:23. | :01:36. | |
are looking at the Observer first of all. Syria back on the front pages. | :01:37. | :01:57. | |
We have shone a light on a terrible story were 18,000 people in a | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
refugee camp are about to run out of food. That is because the Syrian | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
government is not allowing the UN to get in there and deliver the food | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
that is needed. These are Palestinian refugees. This was one | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
of the most exemplary refugee camps for Palestinians who had nowhere to | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
go. How they have now become the enemy I cannot understand. Assad was | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
immensely proud of the way he treated Palestinians and now these | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
children are about to starve to death. Do you think that while the | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
situation is seen to be desperate, people are getting weary and that is | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
why it has dropped off of the front pages? We cannot get like that. The | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
various things that are going on, we cannot even call ourselves human | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
beings if we let this not be a complete blot on the human | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
conscience. I cannot understand how we have let this go though well done | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
the Observer for pointing it out. Up until fairly recently there were | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
hopes that the US government and the Russian president would cooperate to | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
some extent. Also Putin has been supporting Assad four as far as we | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
know. I live in an area where there is a street where you have got | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
pro`Assad Syrians including the in`laws and all those who are losing | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
people everyday. It is unreadable to walk on that street now. Do you | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
think the lack of progress on sanctions in Syria and Ukraine, is | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
this a parallel to draw? That is a really good question. I think the | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
West feels quite helpless in terms of what else can they do? Russia has | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
played a very clever game in both situations. We have seen the US | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
outmanoeuvred and outclassed by Russian direct force for action. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Also public opinion in our country and the US will not stand for | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
intervention. Staying with the Observer, there are other story | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
about the Labour Party looking at raising national insurance. It is | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
not a small rise? This is an interesting idea. I do think it is | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
time for Labour to come out with am very tangible policy ideas which are | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
good in themselves and help voters decide which way to vote. The | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
suggestion is, I think it is the really good idea, increased national | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
insurance should be paid into a pot which is sealed off for the National | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
Health Service and our key challenges especially as people get | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
older. It is for now other purpose than that. `` care. People still see | :05:31. | :05:43. | |
it as the tax and a big increase in tax? Yes, but the NHS has such a | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
place in the British heart that people will be willing to do that. I | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
think they will and everybody is very worried that back door | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
privatisation is coming in so we have a choice. Either we will have | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
to pay for services every time they use them, we will see what happens | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
when that is the system as we see in America. Or we do put into a pot for | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
this thing which is for all of ours. I think it is an interesting idea. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
The Sunday Telegraph talks about the Trojan horse project. The suggestion | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
is that at least six Birmingham schools are at the centre of the | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
alleged Islamic takeover plot, they are set to be placed in special | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
measures. Six, and there were many more being looked at, one senses | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
this is the start of this. It sounds like these six may be the ones with | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
the most obvious problems. It does seem very much like the start of the | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
more orchestrated move. I think this is very interesting. Ofsted did | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
inspect all of these schools not that long ago. The political story | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
has changed now and I personally think there is something going on in | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Birmingham and baby if other schools around the country and we do need to | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
look at it. I have two problems with this. `` previous. `` various other | :07:26. | :07:42. | |
schools. There is an expert on terrorism and extremism which is not | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
what you need, you need a very sober person who understands education to | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
look into this. That is his job title. We do not know. But behind | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
all of this is the role Saudi Arabia is playing in all of these things, | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
the education that is being promoted in state schools and private Islamic | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
schools. Even in student societies in universities. There is a big | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Saudi project in our government. Death is a symptom of something much | :08:21. | :08:30. | |
bigger. Do you agree? `` this is a symptom. I was working in Pakistan | :08:31. | :08:42. | |
until recently and I know diplomats and security officials there were | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
very concerned that money being raised in Britain is being used to | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
finance militant organisations carrying attacks out in Pakistan. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Clearly it needs to be taken very seriously and looked at carefully | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
but also sensitively. The extremism, terrorism, it is the | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
education. Education in Pakistan has become more and more die hard and | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
hardline as the result of the Saudi politics. We can discuss that more | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
in the second round. I want to get back to the Sunday Times. Human | :09:24. | :09:40. | |
trafficking. The most senior person at the Vatican. It says grandmother | :09:41. | :09:53. | |
but she is a professor. Pope Francis has been taken on the social agenda | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
crime to make an impact on these kinds of problems. The church in | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Britain has been playing an active role in trying to help with this | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
problem. Nuns have been helping the police dealing with rape victims and | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
going on operations to rescue some of these poor women who get traffic. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
I think it is the continuation of that policy that Pope Francis is | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
adopting. I am pleased and I agree there was no reason to call her | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
granny, she is the Fester and has obviously been selected because she | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
has the lot of expertise. `` she is professor. I think it is great she | :10:41. | :11:01. | |
is 71, age is often missed off because of ageism. And what about | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
this story, the hero on the ferry. She seems to have waded through | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
chest deep water to get other passengers out. I guess a small | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
tragedy in itself but given the vast scale of this disaster. We are | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
saying today it could take up to two months. There is also another story | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
where 117`year`old passenger died after giving his life vest to a | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
drowning friend. There are stories of selflessness. `` the 17`year`old. | :11:46. | :11:57. | |
The ferry and the tragedy is taking a much lower priority for the | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
newspapers this Sunday. We have also had that big story about the missing | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
plane for so long. Looking at it from a cynical editorial | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
perspective, how much appetite is there for disaster after disaster? | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
Some of the inside ages talking about the significance of Easter | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
Sunday. I know you will both be back at half past 11. That's it for The | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Papers this hour. Thank you Matthew Green and Yasmin Alibhai`Brown, | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
you'll both be back at half eleven for another look at the stories | :12:32. | :12:41. | |
making the news tomorrow. Coming up next, Reporters. | :12:42. | :12:47. |
