:00:00. > :00:00.1970s. His supporters attended a rally in Belfast demanding his

:00:00. > :00:20.release. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:21. > :00:33.to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With us are

:00:34. > :00:36.Gerry Phillips and Michael Nelson. That is overlooked at the front

:00:37. > :00:38.pages. The Independent on Sunday is

:00:39. > :00:42.dominated by an image from the continuing violence in Ukraine. The

:00:43. > :00:45.paper's main story is a claim by the headteachers union that pupils at a

:00:46. > :00:47.free school learnt nothing for a whole term.

:00:48. > :00:49.The Sunday Telegraph says David Cameron has appointed his senior

:00:50. > :00:55.adviser to lead a new dry for compensation for British victims of

:00:56. > :00:57.IRA terrorism. More than 30 Labour parliamentary

:00:58. > :01:00.candidates have written to the Observer calling on Ed Miliband to

:01:01. > :01:04.support renationalising the rail network.

:01:05. > :01:07.According to the Mail on Sunday the Labour leader is planning a

:01:08. > :01:09.crackdown on drinking, smoking and junk food if he winds the general

:01:10. > :01:13.election. The Sunday Express leads with the

:01:14. > :01:16.news that a BA steward has been found dead after a landing that the

:01:17. > :01:27.paper says left the entire cabin crew unfit to fly. Let us begin with

:01:28. > :01:33.the Independent on Sunday which has this chair of what is happening in

:01:34. > :01:43.Ukraine. A quote from President Putin who has said, it Ukraine is

:01:44. > :01:47.beyond our control. Ukraine is nudging towards civil war and it is

:01:48. > :01:52.difficult to see what anyone can do about that. The best hope is that

:01:53. > :01:59.all the indications are that Putin does not want to invade. He does not

:02:00. > :02:05.want Ukraine. He is content with Crimea. If that is the position and

:02:06. > :02:08.Russians in Ukraine don't get knocked about too much, there is a

:02:09. > :02:15.chance that we can at least find a way through this. At the art a lot

:02:16. > :02:21.of pro`Russian voices in other parts of the country? Not just in Crimea.

:02:22. > :02:29.Absolutely. The stakes have raised in the last 24 hours with the death

:02:30. > :02:39.of over 30 people in Odessa. Things are escalating. It is that slides

:02:40. > :02:45.now and you don't know how it is going to be stopped. With Putin

:02:46. > :02:50.saying that, his control is it under? We in the West are looking

:02:51. > :02:57.increasingly important. It is strong words and threats of sanctions. The

:02:58. > :03:04.danger is that Putin goes in. What do we do next though because

:03:05. > :03:08.sanctions are not working. This is not about a policy or anything like

:03:09. > :03:11.that. Sanctions won't change anything. The question is, how do

:03:12. > :03:17.you bring this to an end. The ideal thing would be to do it within the

:03:18. > :03:27.country. And there is still an interim government in Kiev. They

:03:28. > :03:34.overthrew President who was democratically elected. That is

:03:35. > :03:39.distasteful. But they do have elections coming up on the 25th of

:03:40. > :03:44.May. That is not far away. How anyone can campaign in these

:03:45. > :03:48.circumstances is Dion 's belief really, and I think it is very

:03:49. > :03:54.difficult to see how this is going to have any sort of happy ending. If

:03:55. > :04:09.both sides meet back from the rink, you can have those elections. Let us

:04:10. > :04:15.move on. 27% say they think UKIP are racist but 29% still back them. It

:04:16. > :04:27.is not necessarily the party that people thinks is racist, but it

:04:28. > :04:31.might attract racist. We could talk about this for the rest of the

:04:32. > :04:36.evening and just get the sport! It is a really thorough pole and it

:04:37. > :04:44.will make interesting reading for all four leaders. What it tells you

:04:45. > :04:50.is how complex the richest electorate are. That whilst they do

:04:51. > :04:57.think, most people think UKIP has become a magnet for racist bigots,

:04:58. > :05:02.six out of ten people think that Nigel Farage's outfit is packed with

:05:03. > :05:05.extremist, but they are prepared to vote for him because they think he

:05:06. > :05:11.is more in touch and the other leaders. That is really interesting

:05:12. > :05:15.and also the research is expensive. It talks about things that people

:05:16. > :05:20.have liked about the colour vision. They like that the coalition raise

:05:21. > :05:26.the personal tax allowance to ?10,000. They are also praised for

:05:27. > :05:35.capping benefits, but attacked for the bedroom tax. Or despairing

:05:36. > :05:44.subsidy as we might want to call it. We will call it the bedroom tax. If

:05:45. > :05:48.you are sitting in Westminster working out your campaign, or where

:05:49. > :05:54.ever you are, you will be looking at what other messages that are

:05:55. > :06:05.resonating here. The clue to how people will vote of different for

:06:06. > :06:10.the European election. That's right. Broadly, it doesn't matter

:06:11. > :06:14.what UKIP stand for. What the voters are saying we don't like established

:06:15. > :06:19.politicians and politics. They are saying they will have a protest vote

:06:20. > :06:26.for one election only and UKIP will do. It does not matter about this

:06:27. > :06:31.party, but they are about to win the most seats in Europe, and what the

:06:32. > :06:39.mainstream parties have to take from this kind of data is that people are

:06:40. > :06:44.fed up with them. But what can they do? David Cameron has been promising

:06:45. > :06:47.that we will have a new look at our relationship with the European

:06:48. > :06:56.Union, but we know that holding that kind of referendum is almost

:06:57. > :07:02.impossible. Absolutely. Nick Clegg's ratings have plummeted by

:07:03. > :07:06.taking on Nigel Farage. However, the Lib Dems have been upfront and they

:07:07. > :07:12.are pro`Europe. However, this tells you about this very richest thing of

:07:13. > :07:17.want to give it a kick in the teeth and have a protest. The Liberal

:07:18. > :07:22.Democrats always used to be the recipients of the protest vote. Now

:07:23. > :07:26.it looks as if UKIP will get it. The challenge is how do you say to those

:07:27. > :07:32.people, actually, if you vote to UKIP next year, you will probably

:07:33. > :07:37.get Ed Miliband. Which they probably won't anyway. You are right. They

:07:38. > :07:45.want to give the main parties a bit of a kicking, but not too huge a

:07:46. > :07:51.kicking. And not on home ground. Exactly. People are saying they

:07:52. > :07:55.don't think that the European elections are that important, so it

:07:56. > :08:06.is the eye your time to do it. It will give Nick barrage `` it will

:08:07. > :08:17.give Nigel Farage quite a bit of power. He doesn't even agree with

:08:18. > :08:22.the European Parliament. But we don't want to end up with people who

:08:23. > :08:29.are not as in touch as Nigel Farage is. UKIP is really a one`man party.

:08:30. > :08:36.I doubt if many of the electorate could name another UKIP politician

:08:37. > :08:40.beyond Nigel Farage. It is crazy to think that someone like him could

:08:41. > :08:45.form a government because although I think he is probably capable of

:08:46. > :08:50.running a government department, he needs 22 other Cabinet ministers.

:08:51. > :08:57.UKIP is not a proper political party. He just needs to take this

:08:58. > :09:03.home with him, or shove it on a piece of paper and he is laughing.

:09:04. > :09:10.Let us move on to be observer. Pressure from more than 30 of Ed

:09:11. > :09:27.Miliband's parliamentary candidates to bring back the railway to state

:09:28. > :09:29.control. Labour macro while some of his candidates might be saying it's

:09:30. > :09:34.a great vote winner, I'd then see him actually coming up with it. He

:09:35. > :09:38.has one huge problem coming up with his van to freeze energy prices. It

:09:39. > :09:42.could well be somewhere down the line that you talk about taking the

:09:43. > :09:48.energy industry into public ownership. The last thing he needs

:09:49. > :10:04.is to make it look like he is taking all of public industry `` private

:10:05. > :10:13.industry into public industry. Well, it is not impossible. The East

:10:14. > :10:21.Coast mainline is now state owned. He needs to work out all these

:10:22. > :10:28.independent rail operators and get them to work together sensibly, and

:10:29. > :10:35.bring the fares down. It is very dodgy for him. Of course. Other

:10:36. > :10:40.countries manage to have a transport net work that functions and is

:10:41. > :10:44.affordable to lose. Absolutely. My own personal view is I would like to

:10:45. > :10:48.see if essential public services in state control. It seems to be that

:10:49. > :10:53.that is where they should be because they are essential. But how do you

:10:54. > :10:59.make them run efficiently? That is the problem we have a four, but

:11:00. > :11:04.there is no reason why the state can't run something as efficiently

:11:05. > :11:08.as a private company. We did have a bad experience before and the danger

:11:09. > :11:14.is that the electorate will shy away from this. Let us move on to the

:11:15. > :11:22.mail on Sunday he stays with Ed Miliband. He is on to front pages.

:11:23. > :11:28.He says that he will force people to get fit. How will he do that? It is

:11:29. > :11:33.a lairy is. This is the e`mails screaming about these neo`

:11:34. > :11:39.communists who are going to make us healthier. `` this is the Sunday

:11:40. > :11:46.mail. As you said before we came on air, the Daily Mail is the paper

:11:47. > :11:53.with the biggest health coverage. On a Tuesday morning there are hundreds

:11:54. > :11:59.of people queueing up for this newspaper because there are miracle

:12:00. > :12:02.cures in it. When you look at it, it is perfectly sensible. There are

:12:03. > :12:05.some things that are slightly questionable and these are the

:12:06. > :12:12.things that people will pick up on. For instance, ban on sponsorship for

:12:13. > :12:20.sport by drink firms. That will have a serious impact across the board,

:12:21. > :12:26.especially grass roots organisations. Banning supermarkets

:12:27. > :12:34.for selling drinks near the door and sweetener the till. Aiming for a

:12:35. > :12:39.smoke`free generation. It would help a lot of parent if there weren't

:12:40. > :12:45.sweets may be till, but haven't we learned that you cannot force people

:12:46. > :12:49.to do things? And a sense, that is exactly what you're doing. If you

:12:50. > :12:55.are fiddling around with advertising, that is part of the

:12:56. > :12:59.nudge approach to it. Minimum pricing for alcohol has been put on

:13:00. > :13:04.the table by both Labour and the Conservatives. This is not as

:13:05. > :13:09.extreme as the mail on Sunday would want you to believe. Well, it was

:13:10. > :13:17.Labour who fought in the cafe culture that introduced 24`hour

:13:18. > :13:21.drinking. For 13 years they had to do a lot of this stuff and shied

:13:22. > :13:26.away from it, but I think most parents will agree with it, and that

:13:27. > :13:29.is why they put the drinks by the sweets, by the way. It is for the

:13:30. > :13:44.parents. Victims of the IRA deserve pay`outs,

:13:45. > :13:47.David Cameron in a bid to persuade Libya.

:13:48. > :13:57.They are going to Libya costs of some of the materials that were

:13:58. > :14:02.used. A lot of the material came from Libya. The argument has always

:14:03. > :14:06.been the Libyans have to pay the victims compensation. At the end of

:14:07. > :14:13.the story in the Sunday Telegraph, it explains the real album. None of

:14:14. > :14:18.this can happen until Libya is a more stable country `` the real

:14:19. > :14:24.trouble. The Libyans are not against the idea of paying compensation but

:14:25. > :14:30.as far as they are concerned, they have more pressing concerns in their

:14:31. > :14:36.own country to deal with first. This is surely trying to bring British

:14:37. > :14:43.victims of IRA attacks in line with American victims is according to

:14:44. > :14:51.this report, Tony Blair intervened `` because according to. So American

:14:52. > :14:53.victims of IRA bomb attacks received millions in compensation from Libya

:14:54. > :14:58.and British victims received nothing. This is about winding

:14:59. > :15:03.British victims in line with what happened in America. `` wingding.

:15:04. > :15:11.And these efforts started some time ago. Tony Blair was very active with

:15:12. > :15:20.Gaddafi. That is all we have time for what we will be back at 11:30pm

:15:21. > :15:25.for another look at the front pages. But as tensions continue to escalate

:15:26. > :15:52.in Ukraine, more on the situation in Odessa and Sloviansk.
