28/04/2014 The Papers

will have more on the sanctions basing Manchester City for failing

to meet UEFA 's financial fair play rules, that is coming up in about 15

minutes. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Emily

Ashton, Whitehall correspondent for The Sun, and journalist Eva Simpson.

Pretty much all of the front pages are in now, we will start with the

tragic death of the teacher Anne Maguire, that is the front page of

the Independent. She was stabbed to death in front of pupils in a school

in Leeds. That story is on the front page of Tomorrow's front pages.

The Financial Times is going with the big Pharma takeover bid made by

Pfizer for UK firm Astra`Zeneca. The Daily Telegraph is another paper

leading with the killing of Leeds teacher, Anne Maguire. The paper

says she was seen as the 'figurehead' of Corpus Christi

Catholic College. The Daily Express also leads with the teacher's death,

reporting that Mrs Maguire was in her final term before taking

retirement. The Guardian claims that a cross`party campaign to discredit

UKIP as "racists" is to be launched this week. The death of teacher Anne

Maguire leads the Daily Mail, the paper says she was a dedicated

teacher. And the Mirror's front page also focusses on that shocking

story, reporting one pupil as saying Mrs Maguire was a "lovely teacher".

It is clear, Emily, from the tribute is pouring in for Anne Maguire, who

died up in Leeds, that she was well loved, and well liked, apparently

the first murder of a teacher it on a school promises `` premises since

Dunblane. `` tributes. The first murder in a classroom. She had been

working at the school for 40 years, for her entire teaching career.

There were a lot of peoples who respected her. You could tell this,

people were travelling across Britain this afternoon to pay

tributes to her, to lay some flowers for her. Pupils gathered at this

church, earlier tonight, hundreds of pupils. Former students, and their

parents, wanted to pay tribute to her. It is so shocking that this can

happen in a classroom in front of other pupils. It does not bear

thinking about. We are more used to hearing about teachers being

killed, students being murdered, in America. This is the thing that we

hear about in the news that happens in the United States, for summing

like this to happen in Britain is unheard of. It is unprecedented.

What is more tragic was that she was in her final term. She was about to

retire this summer. She spent all of her career and her life working at

the school. She was loved by pupils, and teachers, and by their parents.

She was finally about to say goodbye. And then this awful thing

happens. You hear of pupils potentially taking weapons into

schools, in inner`city schools, knives, and that kind of thing.

There has always been the suggestion that it is gang`related, and somehow

tied up with trying to get one upon another gang, or another pupil in

the same school. This was seen to be what is coming out, completely out

of the blue from a pupil that apparently was alleged to have been

doing very well. This is, according to reports, this 15`year`old pupil

has been arrested and not yet charged, but he was from a

middle`class family and doing well in his exams, perhaps a bit of a

loner in the school, but we do not know the full truth of that yet.

This was an attack by one pupil, this was not like the head teacher

who was killed outside of school gates in 1995 who was breaking up an

attack between pupils, was stabbed in the process. This was an attack

launched against teacher and buy one pupil. It is profoundly shocking. ``

against a teacher by one pupil. We will wait for the police

investigation on this. Let's go to the sun. Max Clifford is guilty of

eight sex attacks. `` The Sun. Those with contracts with him, they are

moving away from him. Simon Cowell is one of them. This is a story

dominating the papers, The Sun has an excuse of line, `` exclusive

line. Simon Cowell is the first person to fire him in the wake of

these guilty verdicts. It remains to be seen who else will do the same,

and follow suit. It is the sort of risky thing to do. If you hire Max

Clifford as your publicist, he knows where all the skeletons are buried,

and all of your guilty secrets. Is it a wise thing to do? So soon?

Nonetheless, this is the action Simon Cowell has taken. I don't

think he has a choice after this. It will be the first in a long list of

clients to distance themselves from Max Clifford. It is interesting,

this is your newspaper, Emily, and either, you as well, you are an

entertainment reporter `` Eva. It is difficult for the red tops, they

have had close dealings with him over the years. He had a hotline to

most tabloid editors. He was the king of kiss and tell. If someone

had a story, the first person they would call was Max Clifford, and

then he would call the tabloid editors. He had a strong and close

relationship with them going back decades. The interesting thing for

me with this story is that I think most of the general public are aware

of Max Clifford as the king of kiss and tell. I do not know how well it

resonates with them. He is a public figure. But he is not an a list.

Really? Not really. But inexperience? In journalism, but...

He was the silver head figure behind the starlet. `` silver haired.

Leading the kiss and tell. You are defending your front page? I have

two, he is famous enough to merit any tabloid front page. He made a

living defending such people in his position `` too. But now he has

become the story. He is a story in itself. Let's go on to the

Guardian, a cross`party campaign to brand UKIP as racists. This

aggressive move comes as there is an anti` Europe move put at 30%. The

European elections are coming up and made the 22nd, the polls are putting

UKIP first, people are fed up `` the 22nd of May. People are fed up with

EU laws and immigration, it is a huge issue, Farage has tapped into

this. But in the last week, has unravelled slightly. UKIP members

are saying unsavoury things, and some are being kicked out. Now there

is a campaign, a cross`party campaign, and they are going to

contemn the party as" racist". It is a bold tactic. It is not racism

necessarily towards blacks and Asians, but your road races. Yes,

you saw these billboards launched by UKIP last week ``euro`racism. I

think it is a patronising campaign. It is well`intentioned and

well`meaning. This one with UKIP? Yes, this cross`party campaign, most

people are intelligent enough to make up their own mind about what

they think of UKIP and what they are and to be stand for. `` and what

they stand for. More stories have emerged about their policies. I do

not think people need a cross`party campaign. For me, it comes across as

desperate for the parties to have to get together. But they are desperate

because you taking votes from all of them. But if you beat people over

the head and say they are racist, don't vote for them, people are

already disillusioned by the main parties, which is why they turned

UKIP in the first place. This is why there is this reverse effect in

pushing people to vote for them in the first place. It harks back to

David Cameron 's attack describing them as fruitcakes and loons, that

backfired. Exactly. Now they are going to UKIP. They have to be kept

not to alienate their own. `` have to be careful not to alienate. Let's

go to the times, this is a test to predict those at cancer. There is a

tipping point in the battle against a whole range of cancers. More

people are now surviving them dying as a result of the disease. ``than.

It seems there is an easy way to deal with some male cancers? Yes,

there is a simple blood test back and predict the risk of cancers in

some older men, some men with a common defect in their white blood

cells are more likely to die from cancer than those without the

defect. There is a new study showing that half the people diagnosed with

cancer survive for at least ten years compared to just a quarter in

the 1970s. It is all gaining traction. It is a great

breakthrough. We know people, we all do, we have lost friends and family

members. To read a story that says 50% people can survive cancer, that

is fantastic. It is amazing news. That is the story on the front page

of the daily Telegraph. Richard Nixon, I think it was, in the early

1970s, it was him who declared a war on cancer. It was a similar

thing... He believed if America focused all their attentions on

this, they could beat it within a decade or so. That did not happen.

Clearly. Why is it only now that they seem to be getting on top of

this? It takes time, there is a lot of research and element going on

behind the scenes. There is a lot of awareness, for people to recognise

early signs. It is heartening to know that it is no longer... In no

longer has to be a death sentence. Decades ago, you would hear the

C`word, and it would be a automatic death sentence. Now they are saying

that women with breast cancer have a 78% survival rate, and men with

prostate cancer have an 80% chance. Whereas years ago, it was only 25%

rates of survival. Millions has been pumped into research. And it is

finally... Yes. It seems to be bearing fruit. On the front of the

daily Telegraph as well, a lesson for BBC chiefs in unconscious bias.

Indeed. I hope that does not refer to this programme! Not tonight!

There has been a huge study of the BBC current affairs output, the

results of this will come out this week. We have had some tasters of

what may be in the offing. This is a piece which talks of how senior

staff have been taken by unconscious bias. There is the perception that

those who do hiring and firing will be hiring those who like themselves,

who look and sound like themselves. Normally, white and middle`aged men.

There seems to be a will, according to this piece, to change that. It is

important. People would think, does that really happen? Does it really

go on? I think so. It is not a conscious thing, this is the

problem. No one goes out of their way not to hire a certain person

because of their gender or their race, but I think people working in

the media are busy and it is hectic. It is not something that

necessarily occurs to them. This is why I think things like this are

important, to say, actually, we had to shake things up a bit. So anyone

watching the programme tonight shouldn't be for? This is the first

time we have been on! It is, actually! This comes from James

Harding, the head of news at the BBC. He is very forward thinking.

This is a problem for all big corporations. It seems to be a

trendy thing. It is done by a lot of corporations. The BBC are taking it

on board. It not trendy, it is long overdue. Finally, someone... We have

heard about gender and inequality. It has got a lot of attention and

things are finally changing. You do not hear a lot about race and

diversity. Lenny Henry has been making some noise in this area. What

is interesting in these campaigns, these campaigns have been outside of

the BBC. They say it is not looking so good. From the inside, no one

is... It is not an issue. You don't realise until someone from the

outside says it is an issue. It is an unconscious bias. The fact it is

noticed now is fantastic. As we said, don't be folded you are

watching the programme. Thank you for helping us. `` do not be foaled.

Stay with us, at the top of the hour we will have the situation in Leeds.

`` more on the situation in Leeds. `` do not be fooled. Now, the latest

sports. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I'm

John Watson. On the way tonight: Arsenal seize control of fourth in

the race for Champions League Football next
