:00:00. > :00:00.Transcendence, is it as awful as American audiences seem to think?

:00:00. > :00:20.All of that as well as the other top releases in the Film Review.

:00:21. > :00:29.Welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us

:00:30. > :00:38.tomorrow. Thank you for joining us. First, let's have a look at the

:00:39. > :00:42.headlines. The Observer has a warning that poor school meals at

:00:43. > :00:47.academies and free schools could be fuelling an obesity epidemic. The

:00:48. > :00:52.Independent on Sunday has a cartoon and reports of Nigel Farage

:00:53. > :00:57.surviving a week of difficult headlines apparently unharmed. The

:00:58. > :01:04.Sunday Times also has a story about UKIP ahead of key European

:01:05. > :01:08.elections. A new twist in the so`called Plebgate scandal,

:01:09. > :01:13.according to the headline in the Mail on Sunday. The Sunday Telegraph

:01:14. > :01:17.has the tragic deaths of five richest military personnel after

:01:18. > :01:22.that helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan. `` five British

:01:23. > :01:31.military personnel. The Sunday Express has a potential breakthrough

:01:32. > :01:37.in the Madeline McCann case. We should begin with this cartoon

:01:38. > :01:41.image of Nigel Farage on the front page of the Independent on Sunday.

:01:42. > :01:53.Interesting questions being posed by the paper. Will nothing think Nigel

:01:54. > :02:00.Farage? Pressure over jobs for his relatives has not put off voters.

:02:01. > :02:03.And it says that Ed Miliband is on the back foot as UKIP target

:02:04. > :02:08.northern England. We will be looking at some of the latest opinion poll

:02:09. > :02:11.has commissioned by the Sunday Times later, but let's talk about this

:02:12. > :02:20.first. What will bring him down if anything? He is riding a wave of

:02:21. > :02:25.popularity. I don't think anyone should have to apologise for having

:02:26. > :02:28.a German wife, by the way. What is important is that Ed Miliband is on

:02:29. > :02:34.the back foot as UKIP target northern England. This is a concern

:02:35. > :02:39.for Labour. UKIP has been polling very well in some of their heartland

:02:40. > :02:43.seats including around Manchester. UKIP has a very strong appeal to

:02:44. > :02:48.what one might call older, traditional, Northern, working`class

:02:49. > :02:57.Labour voters. In the 1970s, Labour was a Eurosceptic party. It promised

:02:58. > :03:00.a referendum on the issue in the 1970s. Those voters have seen the

:03:01. > :03:05.Labour Party moved to becoming a European party under Tony Blair and

:03:06. > :03:14.disconnected from some of the issues in those constituencies. It is very

:03:15. > :03:19.much the older voter caught up in the Nigel Farage appeal. It also has

:03:20. > :03:27.something to do with how he put his message across. What about you,

:03:28. > :03:33.Matthew? There is no doubt that he has an aspect of Teflon to his

:03:34. > :03:39.image. He has had a difficult week and yet according to the Sunday

:03:40. > :03:44.Times, they have become the most popular party in terms of the

:03:45. > :03:49.European elections. This is an opinion poll commissioned by the

:03:50. > :03:53.Sunday Times. Exactly. But this will invite more scrutiny both on Nigel

:03:54. > :03:57.Farage and on his party. I think some of these stories about

:03:58. > :04:00.candidates holding racist views, things like this will eventually

:04:01. > :04:06.begin to tarnish the appeal of UKIP even among older voters. And I also

:04:07. > :04:10.think there will be more scrutiny on policy. We'll know that they want to

:04:11. > :04:15.withdraw from the EU, we all know their opinion on immigration. But if

:04:16. > :04:19.they want to be a credible party, they have to have policies on

:04:20. > :04:23.education, health and taxation. And it seems to be a ramshackle set of

:04:24. > :04:31.policies. The Guardian front Page said exactly that earlier in the

:04:32. > :04:35.week. And yet the main parties are riled by UKIP. They may come under

:04:36. > :04:41.more scrutiny but it does not seem to be sticking. This is something

:04:42. > :04:46.that happens Cuba relatively. It's not just one of stories that change

:04:47. > :04:50.public opinion. `` this is something that happens she militantly. The

:04:51. > :04:54.more people that come out after being revealed to be racist the more

:04:55. > :04:58.that exposes their policies to internal contradictions. These

:04:59. > :05:03.European elections don't matter that much. How many of us know our

:05:04. > :05:13.European Member of Parliament? Not many. I do. We have eight MPs

:05:14. > :05:18.representing our region. Thank you. I think the concern for the main

:05:19. > :05:24.parties is that these are all plays from the traditional book. Paint

:05:25. > :05:29.them as racist, find some person who has said some racist things and you

:05:30. > :05:35.have a news story. One of the concerns for the main parties is

:05:36. > :05:39.that this is not working with this new type of politics and every time

:05:40. > :05:47.they try to attack Nigel Farage through these traditional means...

:05:48. > :05:51.Exactly. And that is, as it were, the marketing message that the

:05:52. > :05:55.mainstream political parties have to learn from Nigel Farage. When he

:05:56. > :05:59.answers questions, he does not come with the normal, formulaic, pre`

:06:00. > :06:07.staged answers that have been given to him by spin is. He seems to

:06:08. > :06:10.answer in the way that someone would answer if you asked them a question

:06:11. > :06:14.at a local pub. Look at the other politicians. Boris Johnson, Tony

:06:15. > :06:21.Banks, Ken Livingstone. Very different political policies but the

:06:22. > :06:25.same kind of cut through, the same kind of what people would describe

:06:26. > :06:32.as honesty. That has a certain amount of political resonance. We

:06:33. > :06:36.have to move on. Sticking to the front page of the Sunday Times,

:06:37. > :06:41.there is another story here. Paedophiles to be treated as

:06:42. > :06:45.terrorists. In the Queens speech, new legislation will be introduced

:06:46. > :06:49.which will mean exactly that. Sexual predators who download manuals on

:06:50. > :06:53.how to groom their victims will face the same sections as terrorists who

:06:54. > :07:00.download guide to making, saying it closes a loophole in the law. This

:07:01. > :07:05.does not sound like a massive issue. This is the top line from the

:07:06. > :07:09.government's threadbare when speech, which will happen in June

:07:10. > :07:13.but is supposed to happen in May. This is on the Parliament has very

:07:14. > :07:17.little to do. Everything in the coalition agreement they could have

:07:18. > :07:22.got through has already got through. Anything that is left, it's very

:07:23. > :07:28.difficult for them to come to an agreement on what to do. They got

:07:29. > :07:30.the big ticket items done first because they were worried the

:07:31. > :07:37.coalition would fall apart, that is the theory. One reason why the

:07:38. > :07:41.Liberal Democrats asked to fix the parliamentary term was that they

:07:42. > :07:44.were concerned that David Cameron would pull out the rug from

:07:45. > :07:51.underneath them. One of the unintended consequences from that is

:07:52. > :07:54.we have a parliament that should have ended around now, so there is

:07:55. > :07:59.little left for them to do. Other things that will be included in the

:08:00. > :08:06.speech. A serious crime Bill modelled on America's anti` Mafia

:08:07. > :08:12.laws. I'm not sure what that means. A crackdown on zero hours contracts

:08:13. > :08:19.and an amendment to trespassing laws that will allow shale gas companies

:08:20. > :08:24.to do fracking on private land. It is certainly pretty thin will stop

:08:25. > :08:30.the headline grabbing policy is on zero hours contracts, those

:08:31. > :08:35.exclusivity clauses that allow companies to bind workers to zero

:08:36. > :08:41.hour deals and not go elsewhere. However, I do not think that the

:08:42. > :08:46.Queens speech is going to be the definitive issue in the next

:08:47. > :08:48.election. If it had been full of philosophically coherent policies,

:08:49. > :08:55.it would make no difference whatsoever to the opinion polls. The

:08:56. > :09:00.issue is going to be the economy. The economy is growing, unemployment

:09:01. > :09:06.is falling and employment is rising. Growth is about 3%. And crucially,

:09:07. > :09:10.living standards are going up. The question is, how will Labour

:09:11. > :09:15.responded to that? I don't think in political terms this is going to be

:09:16. > :09:21.politically important. Will ethics play a part as well? Essex? I

:09:22. > :09:27.thought we were talking about football. The front page of the

:09:28. > :09:33.Sunday Telegraph is a sorry about England becoming a post` Christian

:09:34. > :09:37.nation, according to the former Archbishop of Canterbury. However,

:09:38. > :09:40.there is an opinion poll done by the Sunday Telegraph, which seems to

:09:41. > :09:45.refute that, in which more than half of people regard Britain as a

:09:46. > :09:50.Christian country. First, it's Britain and not England. That is

:09:51. > :09:55.different. In northern England and Northern Ireland, church attendance

:09:56. > :09:58.is higher stop its interesting we have the former Archbishop of

:09:59. > :10:04.Canterbury being so pessimistic about his own faith. He has left

:10:05. > :10:09.now. Does he think it has all gone to pot now that he has gone? Even

:10:10. > :10:12.though the polls slightly contradicted the assertion that he

:10:13. > :10:15.makes, broadly speaking, the general tend is away from organised and

:10:16. > :10:21.disorganised religion and towards secularism. Do you think Muslim

:10:22. > :10:28.populations would agree with you on that? I think if you look at this in

:10:29. > :10:31.20 years, Muslim people born to Muslim parents in this country will

:10:32. > :10:34.have often turned away from Islam and towards the killer is. And this

:10:35. > :10:40.is because precise effect of science. The explanations that

:10:41. > :10:44.theologians `` and towards secularism. And this is because of

:10:45. > :10:49.the effect of science. The explanations that theologians have

:10:50. > :10:55.given has given way to the scientific evidence. And this will

:10:56. > :11:00.also apply to second and third generation immigrants in this

:11:01. > :11:05.country. I believe this is a positive trend. I believe he is

:11:06. > :11:10.right to identify it. But I also believe the Church has done good

:11:11. > :11:15.things as well and I don't have a problem with Christians or

:11:16. > :11:20.Christianity. How does this square with David Cameron's comments about

:11:21. > :11:24.Britain being more evangelical? I think he was making a mistake to use

:11:25. > :11:31.that word. To be fair, he was actually spot on to describe his

:11:32. > :11:39.face as classic FM in the Chilterns in that it comes and goes. England

:11:40. > :11:44.has never really been... It's more like a social club than a religion.

:11:45. > :11:48.But the point is that David Cameron was trying to reach a part of the

:11:49. > :11:51.Tory heartland that had become disenchanted with him over same`sex

:11:52. > :11:55.marriage and that was why he was talking about how he has in the

:11:56. > :12:07.words of Alastair Campbell found God. Football. Almost like religion.

:12:08. > :12:10.The Express has an exclusive saying that Louis van Gaal will get the

:12:11. > :12:18.Manchester United job. What did he say to that team to get them to win,

:12:19. > :12:22.Ryan Giggs? It was an immensely impressive victory for Manchester

:12:23. > :12:26.United after a rather gloomy season that saw the end of David Moyes's

:12:27. > :12:33.equally gloomy tenure as manager. Ryan Giggs, one of their iconic

:12:34. > :12:37.players, has taken over for the last few games of the season and it is a

:12:38. > :12:44.very good start but as you have rightly pointed out, this article

:12:45. > :12:47.says that Louis van Gaal, the 62`year`old Dutchman currently with

:12:48. > :12:54.the Holland national team, has agreed to take over. He is very

:12:55. > :12:57.tried and tested and has a strong reputation in global football. And

:12:58. > :13:03.the supporters will be pleased that a nine has now been drawn under what

:13:04. > :13:06.has been a rather poor and distributable sacking, where it

:13:07. > :13:15.leaked out before David Moyes had been told about it. Thank you.

:13:16. > :13:29.That's it from the papers for this evening. Thank you for joining us.

:13:30. > :13:33.Breaking news now that we have been following all day, leading on that
