:00:08. > :00:23.results, that is in Sportsday `` play`off places. `` tells us that he

:00:24. > :00:26.thinks. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:27. > :00:29.will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the broadcaster Alice Arnold

:00:30. > :00:33.and Alison Phillips, weekend editor at The Mirror. Let's have a look at

:00:34. > :00:35.tomorrow's front pages now. The Independent has more on Pfizer's

:00:36. > :00:38.rejected bid for British drugs company Astrazeneca` it claims a

:00:39. > :00:41.former top scientist for Pfizer has warned against the takeover. The

:00:42. > :00:44.Mail has an interview with one of Max Clifford's victims who says

:00:45. > :00:47.she's angry at the celebrities who defended him. The Express says

:00:48. > :00:55.exercise, even a gentle walk, can help beat arthritis. The FT says the

:00:56. > :00:58.Treasury is set to benefit to the tune of 4.5 billion pounds thanks to

:00:59. > :01:01.the new Help to Buy scheme. The Telegraph has a photo of Stephen

:01:02. > :01:04.Sutton, the teenager who has raised more than three million pounds for

:01:05. > :01:06.charity while fighting cancer. He's been discharged from hospital,

:01:07. > :01:09.describing his own recovery as 'quite remarkable' The Mirror says

:01:10. > :01:12.Lord Hanningfield, the peer whose expenses scam the paper exposed,

:01:13. > :01:15.said he needed the money so he could pay someone to look after his

:01:16. > :01:22.chickens while he was in Westminster. The Guardian leads on

:01:23. > :01:24.the sentencing of celebrity publicist Max Clifford. The paper

:01:25. > :01:36.says his contemptuous attitude during the trial added to the length

:01:37. > :01:39.of his sentence. We will stay with that story for the beginning of the

:01:40. > :01:43.review, we will look at how the Guardian is covering it, eight years

:01:44. > :01:51.in prison for his crimes and his contempt for women. We can tell from

:01:52. > :01:55.the picture that those eyes are his. He showed some extraordinary

:01:56. > :02:00.behaviour in that trial. He seemed to parade himself in front of the

:02:01. > :02:05.cameras. What he did was horrific, there are four women who, for the

:02:06. > :02:10.rest of their lives, will have had to deal with the consequences of how

:02:11. > :02:14.he treated them. What has worsened his sentence is the fact that he

:02:15. > :02:20.wound up the judge, there was the issue that he refers to when he was

:02:21. > :02:24.mimicking the Sky News reporter, which has angered the judge. Even in

:02:25. > :02:33.the dot`com he was raising his eyebrows, shaking his head. You

:02:34. > :02:41.mentioned that clip will stop `` dock. Here is a clip of the

:02:42. > :02:47.behaviour, this is what the judge had seen. It is not becoming of the

:02:48. > :02:50.seriousness of the case. It is as if he could not quite understand

:02:51. > :02:57.himself. The enormity of what he had done. He has remained convinced to

:02:58. > :03:02.the end that he was innocent. It is like he could not quite grasp that

:03:03. > :03:07.what he had done was illegal. I don't understand it, do you think

:03:08. > :03:12.you understand that tonight? He has for years in prison and four years

:03:13. > :03:17.on licence if he gets parole. There are rumours that other people have

:03:18. > :03:24.come forward during the trial, for prosecutions, when his sentence

:03:25. > :03:30.could be increased. You are right, it is his attitude, that has angered

:03:31. > :03:35.everyone I think. That is what the judge said. He thought he was

:03:36. > :03:43.untouchable. It is that arrogance. That is what is so heartening, he

:03:44. > :03:47.has been found guilty, those brave women who have come forward to tell

:03:48. > :03:51.those stories and go through that procedure, it is pretty awful for

:03:52. > :03:55.them, they have at least been rewarded. The irony of a lot of this

:03:56. > :03:58.is that the first reason he came to the police, is after the Jimmy

:03:59. > :04:01.Savile business, he went on the television and said it was a

:04:02. > :04:06.witch`hunt, all these girls are making it up. It was a woman who saw

:04:07. > :04:15.that who said that was it, she had had enough and it was that. His own

:04:16. > :04:22.PR machine has been his downfall. He is pictured in the sun, smoking

:04:23. > :04:30.until the end. That is the headline. The judge at his sentence for being

:04:31. > :04:34.flippant. `` smirking. A woman in court, the judge said that he would

:04:35. > :04:38.have been found guilty for the crime he committed against her in Spain,

:04:39. > :04:42.but it was committed before the law changed, so that crimes committed

:04:43. > :04:47.abroad could be included in the case, but for her to have travelled

:04:48. > :04:51.here, the judge said that he would have been found guilty, even though

:04:52. > :04:57.he was not tried. The alleged victim was very young as well. It is this

:04:58. > :05:02.posing for cameras. Most people when they are about to be sentence, they

:05:03. > :05:06.do not pose for the cameras. They keep their heads down. I saw the

:05:07. > :05:11.footage of him walking to the court. It is like he did not quite believe

:05:12. > :05:15.that it was real. He had manufactured so many stories over

:05:16. > :05:19.the years, and been behind so many stories over the years. It is like

:05:20. > :05:25.it was another story playing out rather than a horrible reality.

:05:26. > :05:33.Let's move on to the Mirror, Lord fraud, I did it for my chickens ``

:05:34. > :05:36.Fraud. Lord Hanning Field said that he took his daily allowance from the

:05:37. > :05:41.House of Lords without doing a great deal of work for it. So that he

:05:42. > :05:53.could hire a man to look after his paltry. `` Hanningfield. We have

:05:54. > :06:00.been an investigation at the Daily Mirror. He had been to prison once

:06:01. > :06:06.before for his expenses, but he had been allowed to walk back in, given

:06:07. > :06:10.?300 as an allowance. We saw that he was regularly turning up, going in

:06:11. > :06:16.for 45 minutes, one day it was only 21 minutes. A couple of days for

:06:17. > :06:20.about one hour. You had a reporter keeping an eye? Yes, watching him as

:06:21. > :06:25.he went into to the House of Lords, we watched him every day, had him

:06:26. > :06:30.time not, we knew, it was not just randomly, we knew that there were a

:06:31. > :06:34.handful of people doing it. When he was confronted, he said that there

:06:35. > :06:38.were 50 people doing it. He has not given us any names. But this is

:06:39. > :06:45.public money. We are within our rights to know who is going to work

:06:46. > :06:48.and who isn't. He is then investigated internally by the House

:06:49. > :06:53.of Lords, they have said to him, what are you playing at? He said

:06:54. > :06:56.that he needed the money needed ?300 a day to pay someone to look after

:06:57. > :07:01.my chickens as I was working in Westminster. Was it lunchtime, when

:07:02. > :07:11.he was going in and out? It varied, kind of mid`morning. What are they

:07:12. > :07:16.going to do about this? They have said they are going to do something.

:07:17. > :07:20.The rules on expenses will be tightened, they have said. I have

:07:21. > :07:24.heard that before, and people get away with far more than they would

:07:25. > :07:29.in any other... Maybe they need a clocking in card? Maybe a half day

:07:30. > :07:36.or a full day allowance. That is a clever idea. Up to four hours, you

:07:37. > :07:40.get ?150, but if you spend more... You get the full amount. Like normal

:07:41. > :07:44.jobs, where people are paid for the work that they do. Let's have a look

:07:45. > :07:50.at the Guardian. There is this story about the death rates for children

:07:51. > :08:00.under five. Children in the UK are more likely to die before they reach

:08:01. > :08:06.their fifth birthday, then any other country in the Western world, aside

:08:07. > :08:09.from Malta. That came as a surprise to researchers in Seattle, looking

:08:10. > :08:15.at the figures. It is a worrying report, of all the countries in

:08:16. > :08:20.Europe, there we are, second worst after Malta. The reasons that are

:08:21. > :08:26.being given by the researchers is an economic problem, and it is children

:08:27. > :08:34.from poor families who are born, low birth rates, parents may be smoking,

:08:35. > :08:38.that, coupled with some failures in early years healthcare, particularly

:08:39. > :08:42.possibly around midwifery, that is worth looking at. When the service

:08:43. > :08:50.come out, we are often surprised at how low we come. And we have the

:08:51. > :08:55.NHS, and we are proud of it, and we are an advanced nation. Then we find

:08:56. > :08:59.out that the statistics do not really bear that out. Maybe it is a

:09:00. > :09:05.good thing. It makes people had to think a bit, and say, we cannot

:09:06. > :09:09.continue to be so low down in the health figures. But, we are. Every

:09:10. > :09:13.statistic that comes out seems to bear the same thing. We are not as

:09:14. > :09:20.good as we think. If it is to do with smoking and low birth rates,

:09:21. > :09:25.and a newborn baby, parents have to take responsibility. We need more

:09:26. > :09:29.education. Parents have to take responsibility, but you have to work

:09:30. > :09:32.in the context, why are there still parents smoking during pregnancy?

:09:33. > :09:36.That message has been put up the years. If the messages put out,

:09:37. > :09:42.people know it, but you had to listen as to why they are not doing

:09:43. > :09:46.things about it. Deprivation is also listed as a reason. You can be told

:09:47. > :09:51.things repeatedly, but unless you believe it and would implement it,

:09:52. > :09:55.it is pointless. Let's have a look at the times. Page 11, we do not

:09:56. > :10:01.always delve so deeply into the paper, this is looking at the

:10:02. > :10:05.predicament, Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Fein, you find

:10:06. > :10:08.himself then, with police given permission to question him for a

:10:09. > :10:11.further 48 hours. He presented himself at the police station in

:10:12. > :10:19.Antrim voluntarily. That was on Wednesday. Looking at how difficult

:10:20. > :10:26.his position is and the problems he is creating for the Sinn Fein party,

:10:27. > :10:30.and for his family, what some of his family members have been doing as of

:10:31. > :10:33.late. It is a piece asking whether he is suitable to be leading Sinn

:10:34. > :10:37.Fein or whether we need a new generation of leaders, without the

:10:38. > :10:45.baggage that he has. You know, regardless of this claim about the

:10:46. > :10:50.murder. He strongly denies this. But he carries with him baggage that in

:10:51. > :10:53.the sense that his brother was sentenced for 16 years, for raping

:10:54. > :11:00.and abusing his own daughter. That is the brothers daughter. The

:11:01. > :11:06.daughter waived her right to anonymity. Gerry Adams... He says

:11:07. > :11:10.that he did not have any association with his brother. He always believed

:11:11. > :11:14.the victim. What did he do about that? Was he strong and went forward

:11:15. > :11:19.against his brother? It appears not. If he is still associated with his

:11:20. > :11:23.brother then he is not a suitable person to be leading the party. The

:11:24. > :11:27.whole thing brings together that maybe now, they cite some good

:11:28. > :11:31.candidates who could lead the party into the future in a more positive

:11:32. > :11:37.way. And baggage in all sorts of ways could be let go. He remains a

:11:38. > :11:44.charismatic figure in Northern Ireland. There are new murals

:11:45. > :11:50.painted in the last couple of days in support of him. Support outside

:11:51. > :11:54.police headquarters, people parading for him. It is a difficult time I

:11:55. > :11:59.think for him there. Martin McGuinness has come out, saying that

:12:00. > :12:04.he is an estate controlled anger over the arrest. It affect whether

:12:05. > :12:10.they continue to support the police service in Northern Ireland. We have

:12:11. > :12:14.other people from other parties, coming out saying that Martin

:12:15. > :12:18.McGuinness cannot say this. It is all very tense again. I would

:12:19. > :12:21.mention who it is, but someone on social media got in touch with me

:12:22. > :12:25.saying that we can all feel the tension. It is palpable in the

:12:26. > :12:29.atmosphere. It is heating up. They are very worried about the potential

:12:30. > :12:33.fallout of this. Depending on what happens next, if they charge him,

:12:34. > :12:40.where on earth does that take us all? That was the Good Friday

:12:41. > :12:44.agreement, semi` people have been released for things that happened in

:12:45. > :12:54.the 1970s, and someone new could be charged potentially. Twitter loses

:12:55. > :13:09.500 million as the trend for tweaking slows `` tweeting. How does

:13:10. > :13:19.this work? Are you still doing it? You know I am not. I think there was

:13:20. > :13:22.an initial excitement. I have been on there for years but it says that

:13:23. > :13:36.we are reducing the time we spend on their by 10%. Many people are still

:13:37. > :13:47.using it. More people still prefer Facebook it is a very ``, it is a

:13:48. > :13:56.very London media kind of thing. That is all for tonight. We will

:13:57. > :13:59.have more on Max Clifford at midnight as he is jailed for

:14:00. > :14:00.indecent assault on women and young
