:00:00. > :00:00.Europe's clubs risk financial exclusion. That is in Sportsday
:00:00. > :00:16.after the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:17. > :00:20.to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are
:00:21. > :00:27.pension analyst Ros Altman and London Evening Standard journalist
:00:28. > :00:29.Mihir Bose. They are so much more than that, of course, but that is
:00:30. > :00:32.the shorthand. Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: The Telegraph
:00:33. > :00:35.leads on comments by Nick Clegg that the Queen should lose her
:00:36. > :00:41.constitutional role as head of the Church of England. The Times has the
:00:42. > :00:44.same story. It says senior Cabinet ministers are split over the role of
:00:45. > :00:46.the church. The Guardian reports on Russian forces carrying out fresh
:00:47. > :00:54.manoeuvres on the Ukrainian border. The paper also says the Gherkin is
:00:55. > :00:58.for sale for more than ?500 million. An extra cup or two of coffee a day
:00:59. > :01:01.could help slash the risk of diabetes ` that's according to the
:01:02. > :01:03.Express. Today's court appearance by the Coronation Street actress
:01:04. > :01:06.Barbara Knox dominates the Mirror's front page. She denies drink
:01:07. > :01:09.driving. And the Metro says tenants faced with paying the spare room
:01:10. > :01:16.subsidy in South Wales are offered a free Creme Egg. A housing
:01:17. > :01:22.association wants them to keep up with their payment. I did not say
:01:23. > :01:31.welcome, but you are. So let's begin. The Times is looking at this
:01:32. > :01:33.idea of whether the Church of England should be the established
:01:34. > :01:41.church and whether the Queen should be the head of it. Nick Clegg thinks
:01:42. > :01:45.not. I find this idea strange. We are a Christian country with strong
:01:46. > :01:50.Christian traditions and values. I don't understand what the Vantage to
:01:51. > :01:54.anybody would be of sending a message that somehow, we want to
:01:55. > :02:01.divorce the Queen from the church, or the country from this Christian
:02:02. > :02:09.tradition. We are very tolerant. We don't have a religious issue in
:02:10. > :02:14.terms of church and date. So from my perspective, I think the prime
:02:15. > :02:20.minister is right. This is something that is important to Britain, the
:02:21. > :02:24.Christian tradition. I think this has come about because Cameron wrote
:02:25. > :02:29.that article just before Easter about this being a Christian
:02:30. > :02:32.country, and of course, it is. The traditions and history of this
:02:33. > :02:38.country are embedded in Christianity. I think Nick Clegg
:02:39. > :02:42.wanted to stand apart, if you like. That has always been liberal policy.
:02:43. > :02:49.Nobody knew it until Nick Clegg made the broadcast! Or not outside the
:02:50. > :02:52.party. I can't see the advantage of doing that. If you had an opinion
:02:53. > :02:58.poll and went around and ask people, is the Queen the head of the church
:02:59. > :03:02.quez Mac I don't think people would say yes. I am not a believer or a
:03:03. > :03:06.Christian. I am of a completely different faith and I don't believe
:03:07. > :03:12.there is a heaven where I will always score 100. But I think we
:03:13. > :03:16.respect all faiths, and I don't see why this issue should, . It has
:03:17. > :03:20.become a slightly political issue between parties trying to appear
:03:21. > :03:25.that they have distinct positions on an issue on which they should not
:03:26. > :03:30.have a position. It is a shame we have got politics interfering in
:03:31. > :03:33.religion. But that is how it will be decided in the end, through
:03:34. > :03:41.politicians, if we disestablish the church. That in itself is sad. It is
:03:42. > :03:47.a different matter for the bishops in the House of Lords. That was a
:03:48. > :03:51.historic situation. Whether it should carry on is a different
:03:52. > :03:57.matter. That is a political decision. We can have Anglican
:03:58. > :04:01.bishops or other religious faiths in the House of Lords, or none. Do we
:04:02. > :04:06.need to have the monarch, whether the Queen or Vince Charles, who has
:04:07. > :04:10.talked about wanting to be seeing the defender of the faiths, not just
:04:11. > :04:14.the faith, when he becomes king? Do we need the head of state to be head
:04:15. > :04:19.of the Church? We would still be a Christian country. After all, for
:04:20. > :04:23.some people it is rather unpalatable that the monarch is the head of the
:04:24. > :04:25.Church of England, because it was a matter of convenience for Henry
:04:26. > :04:30.VIII, who established it. The question is, if the monarch is the
:04:31. > :04:36.head of church and the head of the state, does the state, a liberal?
:04:37. > :04:40.Does the state become something that prosecutes other religions. If not,
:04:41. > :04:43.what difference does it make 's if it gives an advantage to Christians
:04:44. > :04:49.over non`Christians, that would be an issue to be tackled. If it
:04:50. > :04:52.doesn't, why should it matter if the country is Christian or not? The
:04:53. > :04:57.fact that it doesn't is something we should be proud of, that we can show
:04:58. > :05:01.that in a Christian country, Utah right all faiths and religions, or
:05:02. > :05:09.none. The Telegraph has the same story. It has a quote from Nick
:05:10. > :05:14.Clegg saying it would be better for the state to stand on its own two
:05:15. > :05:20.feet. I don't see how that would be better for the church. It would not
:05:21. > :05:28.make the church any more popular. I don't see you would benefit. `` who
:05:29. > :05:32.would benefit. The fact that people do or do not go to church does not
:05:33. > :05:39.make them any more or less Christian. Let's stay with the
:05:40. > :05:42.Telegraph for a second. Cameron says risk could be given a safe Tory
:05:43. > :05:47.seat, adding to speculation over the return of Boris Johnson to
:05:48. > :05:52.Parliament. The prime minister admitted that the mayor of London
:05:53. > :05:55.could fight the Tory chief whip seat at the general election. He has
:05:56. > :06:00.still got a job of the mayor of London, hasn't he? Well, Cameron
:06:01. > :06:07.says he could be both. He gave a rugby analogy, which is interesting.
:06:08. > :06:10.And useful for you! I think this is Cameron tried to say, I am not
:06:11. > :06:13.worried about are struggles in becoming an MP. The background is
:06:14. > :06:17.clearly what happens at the next election, should the Tories not win.
:06:18. > :06:23.There would probably be a move to remove Cameron, and Cameron is
:06:24. > :06:29.saying firstly, I am going to win the election and be leader. Boris
:06:30. > :06:36.would be somebody who would help me. What was the rugby analogy? Boris
:06:37. > :06:42.used to play rugby, and he said he would be a good member of the scrum.
:06:43. > :06:46.And he also said beforehand, if someone drops the ball, I will pick
:06:47. > :06:52.it up and run with it. So this is Cameron saying, if you want to, you
:06:53. > :06:55.have an opportunity. But it will be up to the people of the party you
:06:56. > :07:01.are in that constituency as to whether he is selected to stand, and
:07:02. > :07:08.up to Boris whether he wants to. Keep your friends close and your
:07:09. > :07:11.enemies closer? Absolute glee. `` absolutely. He is on a hiding to
:07:12. > :07:20.nothing if he says he shouldn't come back. Let's look at the Guardian.
:07:21. > :07:24.Putin warning as Ukraine's troops hit back. We have got Russian forces
:07:25. > :07:30.who are carrying out fresh military drills on the border. They are
:07:31. > :07:36.warning Kiev to be careful. We have had five pro`Russian people dying in
:07:37. > :07:40.Sloviansk at the hands of their own government. You wonder, what did
:07:41. > :07:46.Putin expect? If Russia has invaded Ukraine, is Ukraine going to just
:07:47. > :07:51.sit there and say, don't worry, guys? They have gone into Crimea and
:07:52. > :07:54.taken that. With the blessing of most people who live there. Indeed,
:07:55. > :08:00.but when it comes to the rest of Ukraine, where do they draw the
:08:01. > :08:03.line? If you remember, Putin, when he celebrated Crimea coming back to
:08:04. > :08:10.Russia, said, I don't want any other part of Ukraine. So this is a bit of
:08:11. > :08:15.power politics that he is playing. But I do feel that the West, looking
:08:16. > :08:20.back, has not played the Ukraine situation very well. What should
:08:21. > :08:23.they have done? Firstly, they encouraged Ukraine to be part of the
:08:24. > :08:28.European Union without realising how it would play with Russia. The West
:08:29. > :08:31.are not going to send in troops. So they are making noises against
:08:32. > :08:41.Russia and Russia has the upper hand. But the people of Ukraine
:08:42. > :08:46.generally, not Crimea, wanted to belong to the EU. And strategically,
:08:47. > :08:50.having Ukraine within the EU makes a lot of sense from the point of view
:08:51. > :08:57.of gas supply and so on. So they're all these geopolitical forces. The
:08:58. > :09:02.Ukrainian people have removed and elected a president, so there are
:09:03. > :09:08.also soft nuances. We don't know what is actually going on. We see
:09:09. > :09:12.these kinds of headlines, but we are not sure what it means. And we don't
:09:13. > :09:20.know how much support the Russians may have in the eastern part of
:09:21. > :09:24.Ukraine. These are imponderables. And there are ethnic Russians in
:09:25. > :09:32.other Baltic states as well. Where do you stop? Let's stay with the
:09:33. > :09:39.Guardian. Barclays shareholders scorned the bank over bonuses. A
:09:40. > :09:42.huge amount of criticism from the shareholders at their annual meeting
:09:43. > :09:46.today, with the board being accused of greed after handing out 2.4
:09:47. > :09:52.billion pounds in bonuses last year. This was also supposed to stop. Some
:09:53. > :09:56.of the quotes from shareholders are fantastic. It is jam tomorrow for
:09:57. > :10:02.the investors, but champagne today for the investment bankers. I liked
:10:03. > :10:08.this one ` we are paying for Manchester United, but we are
:10:09. > :10:13.getting Colchester United. Fans of Colchester United will not be happy
:10:14. > :10:16.with that! This shareholder meetings are being attended by private
:10:17. > :10:22.investors who can make a noise, but do not have much clout. The City
:10:23. > :10:25.investors have already supported most of them. Standard life has
:10:26. > :10:29.stood out against it. The interesting comment in this piece is
:10:30. > :10:34.where the Barclays head of the remuneration committee is being,
:10:35. > :10:36.standard life should not have spoken out at the public meeting, they
:10:37. > :10:45.should have told us privately if they were not happy. But that is not
:10:46. > :10:50.how it should be. Prophets down 10%, bonuses up 20%. It is not surprising
:10:51. > :10:53.that shareholders are little miffed. This is the ridiculous thing about
:10:54. > :11:06.company democracy. You can make a lot of noise, but don't have any
:11:07. > :11:10.impact. Experts say the risk of diabetes can be reduced by drinking
:11:11. > :11:14.coffee. There are so many conflicting reports about what we
:11:15. > :11:18.should think and eat. If you drink three cups of coughing, you might
:11:19. > :11:23.never get to sleep but at least you would not have diabetes. Well, I
:11:24. > :11:31.should start with three tomorrow, because I normally drink two.
:11:32. > :11:42.Caffeinated? Caffeinated. Caffeine free, that would require five cups,
:11:43. > :11:45.probably! Let's look at the business pages of the Telegraph, and it says
:11:46. > :11:54.optimism is rising on the high streets. I suppose the good weather
:11:55. > :11:59.helped to bring us out shopping? And the UK economy is doing really well.
:12:00. > :12:05.We see lots of negative stories, whenever we hear something positive
:12:06. > :12:09.about the economy, there is always a but. If you look at it, the high
:12:10. > :12:16.street is rising, the front page of the Telegraph, talking about
:12:17. > :12:22.property at a seven`year high. For first`time buyers. And we have seen
:12:23. > :12:28.manufacturing optimism at its highest level since the 1970s. This
:12:29. > :12:35.economy is doing really well. Are you sure this is not another
:12:36. > :12:39.bubble? Exports are not going up. I agree with you, exports are an
:12:40. > :12:43.issue. Productivity is a bit of a puzzle. But it looks as if the
:12:44. > :12:49.economy is firing on most of its cylinders. Investment? Investment is
:12:50. > :12:54.starting to kick in, that is really important, so we need to get exports
:12:55. > :12:59.going. What about people who are much, much worse off, who might have
:13:00. > :13:05.been on benefits, and who are not able to partake in any high street
:13:06. > :13:08.boom? They are not, but the way the economy works, once you start
:13:09. > :13:14.getting this general uplift, it filters out. And you have also seen
:13:15. > :13:17.some of the figures which came out yesterday, where a lot of the people
:13:18. > :13:21.who were previously on benefits are now in work, and that itself
:13:22. > :13:25.produces more growth and prosperity. So, this is a long game, not
:13:26. > :13:31.something which is going to be solved immediately for everybody.
:13:32. > :13:34.And certainly there has been an increase in inequality, to some
:13:35. > :13:40.degree, but what is going on now is that it is filtering through the
:13:41. > :13:44.rest of the economy. We hope it will not lead to regional disparity.
:13:45. > :13:49.Let's look at a story which might be connected to regional disparity. We
:13:50. > :13:53.mentioned those figures for first`time buyers, at a seven`year
:13:54. > :13:58.high. That will be surprising to a lot of people, how are people
:13:59. > :14:04.affording it? Well, we have got the help`to`buy scheme, we have got
:14:05. > :14:09.cheap finance, and also help with subsidised finance for first`time
:14:10. > :14:26.buyers with very small deposits. They are not hurry first`time
:14:27. > :14:37.buyers? No, they are not. `` not all Qatari? Stay with us, we will be
:14:38. > :14:45.back to bring you the latest on the suspended peace talks between Israel
:14:46. > :15:00.and Palestine. Coming up next, Sportsday.
:15:01. > :15:08.Welcome to the programme. Our main stories tonight's ` Chelsea's title
:15:09. > :15:14.hopes take another hit, as Ramires is banned for the rest of the
:15:15. > :15:15.season. And Benfica have the advantage in their Europa League
:15:16. > :15:16.semifinal against
