:00:00. > :00:20.hours before the ship hit an and sank. `` hit an iceberg.
:00:21. > :00:26.Welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us
:00:27. > :00:38.tomorrow. With me is the parliamentary editor of politics
:00:39. > :00:47.Home.com, and the political editor of The Times. We start with the
:00:48. > :00:53.Observer. School meals could be fuelling an obesity epidemic. The
:00:54. > :00:58.Independent, reporting that Nigel Farage has survived a difficult week
:00:59. > :01:09.of headlines and harmed. The Sunday Times also leads with UKIP. A new
:01:10. > :01:12.twist in the so`called Plebgate scandal is the splash on the mail on
:01:13. > :01:18.Sunday. And the Telegraph, leading on the tragic deaths of those
:01:19. > :01:25.petition military personnel. `` British. And the Sunday express, a
:01:26. > :01:37.potential breakthrough in the Madeleine McCann case.
:01:38. > :01:44.Let's begin with those headlines. Gentlemen, the Independent on
:01:45. > :01:54.Sunday. A cartoon picture of Nigel Farage. It reminds me of a guard in
:01:55. > :02:00.front page earlier in the week. It has been an interesting week for
:02:01. > :02:08.UKIP. The Westminster village perceived his interview with Nick
:02:09. > :02:13.Robinson as a bit of a car crash. And a story about using actors in
:02:14. > :02:22.their party literature, employing his wife who is German, but these
:02:23. > :02:28.are very SW1 attacks. Lots of UKIP attack throughout the country comes
:02:29. > :02:35.from older voters in particular. They are more likely to see through
:02:36. > :02:41.this and just think that these attacks, if you support Nigel Farage
:02:42. > :02:44.just broadly, without knowing much about politics, you would expect
:02:45. > :02:52.these attacks from national newspapers. The success of UKIP is a
:02:53. > :02:55.double edged sword. They will be pleased they are leading Labour in a
:02:56. > :03:06.recent Sunday Times poll but it will increase scrutiny. Who knows their
:03:07. > :03:11.policy on education? Health? That is why it reminded me of the Guardian
:03:12. > :03:15.story. Highlighting that they don't have any MPs are any well`publicised
:03:16. > :03:22.policies besides immigration. Yet rival parties are worried. They were
:03:23. > :03:29.talking about a flat tax of 31%. Increasing expenditure on defence.
:03:30. > :03:33.Primary school economics. Now they are looking to flirt with Labour
:03:34. > :03:38.voters, pulling votes from both major parties, they are talking
:03:39. > :03:44.about a higher tax rate. Abolishing the bedroom tax. All sorts of
:03:45. > :03:49.claims, yet no scrutiny commensurate with the current polling. I think
:03:50. > :03:56.that will change, and when it happens, Nigel Farage, who
:03:57. > :04:03.unquestionably has a huge amount of popular appeal, that will diminish
:04:04. > :04:10.as policies come under scrutiny. He is a personable face, coming across
:04:11. > :04:15.quite well, doesn't he? Most people in this country have no idea about
:04:16. > :04:19.the European Parliament, tonight for these elections is around 40%, you
:04:20. > :04:28.will get protest votes, UKIP will do well. The party in government will
:04:29. > :04:31.do less well. That is why the Tories are at a high for MEPs, the last
:04:32. > :04:39.round of elections was during the Gordon Brown premiership. The front
:04:40. > :04:52.page of the Sunday Times, a picture of Nigel for Farage, and saying that
:04:53. > :04:58.UKIP is leading on 31%, three points clear of labour, and the Tories are
:04:59. > :05:06.languishing on 19 points. Probably within the margin of error. But this
:05:07. > :05:13.is interesting. The front page of the Independent. Cross`referencing
:05:14. > :05:20.each other. Yet Nigel Farage and his popular appeal seem to have a Teflon
:05:21. > :05:25.quality. Picking up on what Tony said, European elections, they don't
:05:26. > :05:29.have a big effect, people use it as a protest, but I suspect there is
:05:30. > :05:35.something else at work, and it is the persona of Nigel Farage. There
:05:36. > :05:40.is a real trouble in politics. Vocabulary issues. If you ask a
:05:41. > :05:46.politician, why are you favour of the minimum wage? They will say,
:05:47. > :05:52.because I think it is right. That is not an answer or an explanation,
:05:53. > :05:59.just a restatement of a preference. There is this linguistic routine
:06:00. > :06:03.politicians clock but, Nigel Farage actually gives an answer. That is
:06:04. > :06:11.why he gets this idea he is honest. Yet he is quite duplicitous if you
:06:12. > :06:16.look at the facts of his expenses, but he looks honest simply because
:06:17. > :06:23.he comes out with an answer. Let's move on to the Sunday
:06:24. > :06:28.Telegraph. A picture of Bernie Ecclestone with a much taller women.
:06:29. > :06:33.We had an interesting story that the Telegraph is claiming as an
:06:34. > :06:38.exclusive, an interview with the former Bishop of Canterbury, saying
:06:39. > :06:42.we are now a post`Christian nation. He says Britain is no longer a
:06:43. > :06:49.nation of believers. Your take on that? It is also interesting that he
:06:50. > :06:55.says he generation of widespread worship is over. For the Muslim
:06:56. > :07:01.population, that is not true. In terms of Christian, he is
:07:02. > :07:07.pessimistic. He was my favourite Archbishop of Canterbury I must say.
:07:08. > :07:20.Did he make the top ten? Get voted off? I never liked the beard! It was
:07:21. > :07:24.untidy! You were saying, he's been pessimistic. But look at the
:07:25. > :07:29.polling. More than half the public regard Britain as a Christian
:07:30. > :07:35.country. 52% described themselves as either practising or non`practising.
:07:36. > :07:40.There could always be a religious revival which is why I think he is
:07:41. > :07:46.been pessimistic. David Cameron said we should be more evangelical. I
:07:47. > :07:50.have no idea if David Cameron actually knew what he was saying. To
:07:51. > :07:54.a lot of gay people that sounds quite scary, that our rights will be
:07:55. > :08:00.taken away. Incredibly cack`handed for the Prime Minister to attempt to
:08:01. > :08:05.insert himself into a religious context. It won't be the last time.
:08:06. > :08:11.People are much more quiet about their Christianity.
:08:12. > :08:17.Even though he is pessimistic in the context of that hole, the overall
:08:18. > :08:24.trend, the last couple of hundred years, it is towards secularism.
:08:25. > :08:28.That has accelerated. Science is replacing previous explanations
:08:29. > :08:33.given by theologians. I suspect that both amongst Christians and other
:08:34. > :08:36.faith groups, including Muslims, people often talk about muscle
:08:37. > :08:41.children growing up to become slums, I don't think that will
:08:42. > :08:48.happen. `` muscle and children growing up to become muscles.
:08:49. > :08:58.I think this trend towards secularism is inexorable. And these
:08:59. > :09:05.comments something we should worry about? I wouldn't. It is positive.
:09:06. > :09:09.It is just the case that religion used to be compulsory. Now it is
:09:10. > :09:13.not. And that is good for the church, because it is full of true
:09:14. > :09:21.believers and not just people who go because society expects them to. The
:09:22. > :09:26.Observer. Top doctor slams school meals policy for viewing child
:09:27. > :09:30.obesity. An interview with Professor Terence Stephenson, the chair of the
:09:31. > :09:40.Academy of medical and royal colleges. He says that because
:09:41. > :09:43.academies can opt out of nutritious guidelines then some children are
:09:44. > :09:51.not getting healthy food. It is a fair point. The excellence of the
:09:52. > :09:55.Jamie Oliver experiment is it created an evidenced `based approach
:09:56. > :10:00.to school meals. A certain set of schools were given nutritious
:10:01. > :10:04.lunches, they tracked to see what happened in terms of educational
:10:05. > :10:08.attainment, concentration, absenteeism. The figures improved.
:10:09. > :10:13.They standardised this across the country. A sensible move. What I
:10:14. > :10:17.didn't know until I read the Observer is that free schools can
:10:18. > :10:22.opt out and as a consequence are offering less nutritious meals. That
:10:23. > :10:26.is bad for students. I favour a variety. When you have variation you
:10:27. > :10:29.find the things that work. But we have already had a controlled
:10:30. > :10:39.experiment, why not stick to the standard? There is no evidence in
:10:40. > :10:48.the story that kids who go to free schools are more likely to be obese.
:10:49. > :10:55.It is based on an interview with, admittedly, an expert. He does not
:10:56. > :10:59.have any science behind what he is saying, it seems to be an
:11:00. > :11:10.assumption, prejudice on you are right, free schools have opted out
:11:11. > :11:17.of this. This reminded me of another story this week, the story of the
:11:18. > :11:22.Trojan case in Birmingham. Hardline Muslims trying to influence what was
:11:23. > :11:27.being taught in some academies. It goes to this apparent disconnect
:11:28. > :11:33.between academies and state schools about who is in control of
:11:34. > :11:38.academies. Is that relevant here? In that case, state schools were being
:11:39. > :11:44.allegedly targeted. That story had a lot of warnings in it and it was
:11:45. > :11:48.confusing as to whether Muslim parents were trying to become
:11:49. > :11:55.governors. We do have Islamic schools that run perfectly well and
:11:56. > :11:59.are respected. You agree there was an evidence `based approach to the
:12:00. > :12:02.introduction of standardisation is nutritious meals but you are
:12:03. > :12:11.querying whether free schools have opted out in such a way to reduce
:12:12. > :12:19.standards? Scientists measured. I am not sure `` you on not sure anyone
:12:20. > :12:25.is a scientist, this evening! This man is clearly a genius, Ryan
:12:26. > :12:36.Giggs, doing something at Manchester United. He is the football
:12:37. > :12:41.whisperer. What did he say? United had a good result. Four ` zero after
:12:42. > :12:46.a poor season with David Moyes sacked as manager. He has gone on
:12:47. > :12:52.holiday to the United States. Ryan Giggs, who scored the iconic goal in
:12:53. > :12:59.the FA Cup semifinal replay against Arsenal, one of the great figures in
:13:00. > :13:03.Manchester United's history. It is rather wonderful, starting as a
:13:04. > :13:08.caretaker manager. The problem is they are almost certain not to take
:13:09. > :13:12.him on as a permanent replacement because they have targeted the
:13:13. > :13:17.Netherlands coach. It is interesting that they played with a more
:13:18. > :13:21.flamboyant style. A criticism of David Moyes was he was too
:13:22. > :13:31.pragmatic, which betrayed Manchester United's traditions. The Sunday
:13:32. > :13:42.Times, dad 's Army. To be revived as a film. The classic comedy series
