Coming up, we review Louis Ruin, Pompeii and Bad Neighbours. That's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
on BBC News. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
With me are Nigel Nelson, Political Editor of the Sunday People and | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
writer and political commentator Jo Philips. Quite feisty tonight, | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
behind`the`scenes, don't be fooled. Tomorrow's front pages. The | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Independent on Sunday is dominated by an image from the continuing | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
violence in Ukraine. The paper's main story is a claim by the head | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
teachers union that pupils at a free school "learn't nothing for a whole | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
term". The Sunday Telegraph says David Cameron has appointed his | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
senior adviser to lead a new drive for compensation for British victims | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
of IRA terrorism. More than 30 Labour parliamentary candidates have | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
written to the Observer calling on Ed Miliband to support | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
renationalising the rail network. According to the Mail on Sunday, the | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Labour leader is planning a crackdown on drinking, smoking and | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
junk food if he wins the general election. The Sunday Express leads | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
with the news that a BA steward has been found dead after a landing that | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
the paper says left the entire cabin crew unfit to fly. The Sunday Times | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
quotes a top cancer doctor who's calling for cutting`edge treatments | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
to be rationed for the very elderly in favour of younger patients. The | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
paper also reports that David Cameron is willing to take part in a | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
televised debate with UKIP's Nigel Farage ahead of next year's general | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
election. Finally, the Sunday Herald has become the first newspaper to | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
publicly back a Yes vote in the Scottish independence referendum. | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
Let's begin with the times. The idea that the PM may be happy to take on | :01:43. | :01:54. | |
Nigel Farage in a heated debate. Nigel, this wouldn't be this year, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
in advance of the European elections. If this it was unlikely | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
David Cameron would get out of not doing this. At some point, he would | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
have to have this debate. According to the paper, people do it on a 235 | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
debate. The first debate with Ed Miliband on his own as a prospective | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
other PM. Second debate you add Nick Clegg to the mix and in the third | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
debate, the five, you add Nigel Farage and the Green Party eater | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Natalie Bennett. That is the way he envisages doing it. It sounds like a | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
football team formation. Itself like they are watching match of the day. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
I wonder who will relish this the most. Probably not the viewers. It | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
sounds a terribly unwieldy way to do it. The debates were great last time | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
around. Listening to people talking about them on buses and trains and | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
in offices, they captured the public imagination in a way that I think | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
sadly, newspapers often fail. People felt there was something real. They | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
like that sort of thing. It is new to us, isn't it? It is. We haven't | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
got as slick as the Americans have it. By the time you get to five | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
people, from a TV point of view, it would be ghastly. Unless you do it | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
like the Americans do, where you have a time limit. There are all | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
sorts of ways of doing it. Just because David Cameron wants it done | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
that way, it doesn't mean it will be done that way. Ed Miliband will have | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
something to say about this. I'm not sure he will want to have Nigel | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Farage on. Who knows? You probably cannot exclude him. There will | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
possibly be some way of bringing him in. If they do as well as the polls | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
predicting the European elections. On the basis of that, it would be | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
absurd not to have someone with the most European MPs debating in a | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
general election when they are fielding general election | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
candidate. One of our correspondence have spoken to the conservatives who | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
say this is not what the Times is suggesting, saying that nothing has | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
moved as far as they are aware and that the PM has said publicly and | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
privately he welcomes a return to TV debates, discussions about | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
details... As I just said. Just as you said. I wanted to say we have | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
spoken to them and the Conservatives say this is not nailed down. It is | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
up to negotiation. It is about who is chairing and who is casting. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Stone because BBC and Sky News. Everyone had to have a go. I don't | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
think it will be, got to view telly. Don't you think Nigel Farage | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
would be box office? Accent he would. On things like that, often | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
they perform in a way you would not expect. `` I think he would. People | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
didn't expect it to happen last. A source close to the PM confirms they | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
are prepared to consider a range of lineups including Nigel Farage. You | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
could say Bruce Forsyth ought Jeremy Parnell, couldn't you? If they mind | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
their manners. Let's move on to the sun Herald. We have a request on | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
social media that we include this `` the Sun. It's not often you get a | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
chance to look at this paper. They are saying yes. It is the first | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
newspaper coming out publicly to back the Scottish Independence | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
referendum, and we hear that the editor of the newspaper, as all | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
newspapers in this group have done, they have been given their free | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
choice as to whether they do or don't back it or whether they stay | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
impartial. Isn't it a stunning? You would put that in a frame. It is | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
really beautifully designed cover. Or in a window. A very significant | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
moment for the SNP and for the. You can ask us anything you like because | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
we can tell you when it started publishing. The longest running | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
national newspaper in the world, two years before the times in 1783 `` | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
are significant moment for the SNP. How significant will it be that this | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
newspaper, or any for that matter, nails its colours to the mast? The | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
significance is the editorial inside. It is something we need to | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
learn in Westminster and Whitehall. Our politicians are getting the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
argument wrong. In Scotland, which is what the paper will make | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
tomorrow, this is an emotional argument about the future of | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
children, about the idea of governing the country through its | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
citizens. That is an emotional thing. We bang on about things like | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
the pound, tactical issues, North Sea oil, and whether Scotland can be | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
part of Europe. Whereas, the Scots are talking about whether they like | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
the idea of independence. What the paper is suggesting is that they do. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
It is likely them that the yes vote could carry. If you make an | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
emotional argument, rather than a practical one, it could win. Don't | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
you think this is where the and have got it so wrong? Everytime they have | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
come up with something that is, vote for independence or there will be no | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
break in Scotland. If they concentrated on the negatives or | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
what will happen, rather than the positives of staying put. Yes, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
exactly. They have welded people in Scotland together. There is nothing | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
so bloody`minded as the Scot. You mean it in a good way to split I do | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
mean it in a good way. There is great political literacy in | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
Scotland. There is a much more open discussion. It is much less tribal. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
People are Scottish first and party tribal second. I think this is | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
interesting. It is interesting that a newspaper like this could have | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
such an influence. It is spectacular to come out now. It is the first | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
newspaper to publicly back the vote. It is not a surprise. Other | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
newspapers haven't come down one side or another. I wonder if more | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
will? As we get closer to September and the referendum, I would be | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
surprised if newspapers didn't when that happens. This will take the | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
debate one stage forward. It is important that people in London | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
understand where the Scots are coming from in this paper helps. The | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
Sun on Sunday is where we will go. They have commissioned a poll from | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
you Government, asking what people think of Ukip and apparently a lot | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
of people think they have become a magnet form racists and its `` You | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Gov. They don't think the party itself is racist. It is a | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
fascinating poll and as you said, six out of ten people think that you | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
get is packed with extremists. They are prepared to desert mainstream | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
parties to vote for UKIP. We have said that UKIP is likely to win the | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
European elections at the end of the month. What is interesting is that | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
it isn't that they love UKIP, they actually don't like the other | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
parties. There are lots of parties they do like. If someone could pull | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
all of these things together, they would win all of the elections. UKIP | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
tops the poll with 29% support for the European elections. If Britain | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
went for a hung parliament, most people would prefer a labour, Lib | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
Dem Alliance around. Although the Conservatives got a lead of the | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
economy and David Cameron is seen as the person most suited to be PM, Ed | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Miliband is seen as most in touch with people. As you say, there are | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
some helpful ingredients. What it shows is that those people who will | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
vote for UKIP, will be a protest vote. It is not that they think UKIP | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
are not racist, they obviously do, they just don't care that they are | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
racist. On that basis, it doesn't matter what the party stands for, | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
they want someone else to vote for a part from the main three parties. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Only in these elections, not in the general election. It will give UKIP | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
a bigger platform when it comes to things like that. It will. Lets move | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
on bring rail under state's control, this is more than 30 of Ed | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
Miliband's Labour Party parliamentary candidate calling for | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
a bold new policy to improve rail services. I wonder if you will groan | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
when you read this that they have gone to the papers. We were | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
discussing this. I think this is a briefing. I think the Labour Party | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
have given the Observer this story. Nigel doesn't agree with me. I think | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
it is testing the waters with the electorate. Obviously, anything that | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
paints at band as red, likely to send a fear into a swathe of the | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
population at the thought of nationalisation, which in the mind | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
of some means strikes and walk out and curled up British rail | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
sandwiches and the rest of it, which Ed Balls is aware of the dangers | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
of, there are a lot of commuter belt votes that will make a huge | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
difference and people are fed up with chaotic rail services, | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
expensive rail services. You don't think it is a plant? I don't, | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
because this is a letter to the paper from the candidates. There is | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
a bit of a plot for them to get together in the first place to write | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
the letter. It would appear that this is a growing idea with the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Labour Party. What we didn't know at the last newspaper review, which we | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
do now, is that John Paskin is writing in the mirror tomorrow, and | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
he is talking about nationalising public services. It seems to be | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
something labour is talking about. The danger is that the Tories will | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
come back and say that is the old Labour Party. Lets look at the Mail | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
on is under. Read Ed, which is what you said, we will force you to get | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
fit `` Red Ed. It does sound puritanical, that you won't be able | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
to drink or smoke or eat anything healthy, which is grist to the mail | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
mill. People don't like being told what to do this is a good test for | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
Ed Miliband. This is a story of extreme proportions. Most of the | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
proposals actually make sense. If it means there is going to be busloads | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
of inspectors coming to check your food cupboards, then obviously that | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
is ludicrous. If there are lots of public pounds being spent on | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
employing people to come up with ridiculous notions, he has a very | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
low pain, to get people more active in ten years. In the next ten weeks | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
wouldn't be a bad idea. But most of this is sensible. It is how you go | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
about doing it. And those cultural habits are difficult to change. I | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
don't think he is talking about this. We are talking about things | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
that have been around before. Young people don't drink quite so much if | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
you do that. We don't even know if they are going to do that. That is | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
the papers for tonight. Thank you. It has been a long time. Stay with | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
us on BBC News. Much more on the situation in Ukraine. I want to | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
bring you some breaking news before we go. Police investigating | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
allegations of malicious communications following the death | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
of a teacher, Ann McGuire, have arrested a 42`year`old man. The | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
police have said that the man, from Wales, was arrested and remains in | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
custody. Police have charged a man with malicious communications as | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
well, Jake Newsome, 21 years old, from Leeds, has been bailed, to | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
appear before the Magistrates' Court in Leeds on Wednesday the week after | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
next. A couple of instances of malicious communications. More | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
details and we get them. Time now for the Film | :15:47. | :15:47. |
