03/05/2014 The Papers

1970s. His supporters attended a rally in Belfast demanding his

release. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

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

Gerry Phillips and Michael Nelson. That is overlooked at the front

pages. The Independent on Sunday is

dominated by an image from the continuing violence in Ukraine. The

paper's main story is a claim by the headteachers union that pupils at a

free school learnt nothing for a whole term.

The Sunday Telegraph says David Cameron has appointed his senior

adviser to lead a new dry for compensation for British victims of

IRA terrorism. More than 30 Labour parliamentary

candidates have written to the Observer calling on Ed Miliband to

support renationalising the rail network.

According to the Mail on Sunday the Labour leader is planning a

crackdown on drinking, smoking and junk food if he winds the general

election. The Sunday Express leads with the

news that a BA steward has been found dead after a landing that the

paper says left the entire cabin crew unfit to fly. Let us begin with

the Independent on Sunday which has this chair of what is happening in

Ukraine. A quote from President Putin who has said, it Ukraine is

beyond our control. Ukraine is nudging towards civil war and it is

difficult to see what anyone can do about that. The best hope is that

all the indications are that Putin does not want to invade. He does not

want Ukraine. He is content with Crimea. If that is the position and

Russians in Ukraine don't get knocked about too much, there is a

chance that we can at least find a way through this. At the art a lot

of pro`Russian voices in other parts of the country? Not just in Crimea.

Absolutely. The stakes have raised in the last 24 hours with the death

of over 30 people in Odessa. Things are escalating. It is that slides

now and you don't know how it is going to be stopped. With Putin

saying that, his control is it under? We in the West are looking

increasingly important. It is strong words and threats of sanctions. The

danger is that Putin goes in. What do we do next though because

sanctions are not working. This is not about a policy or anything like

that. Sanctions won't change anything. The question is, how do

you bring this to an end. The ideal thing would be to do it within the

country. And there is still an interim government in Kiev. They

overthrew President who was democratically elected. That is

distasteful. But they do have elections coming up on the 25th of

May. That is not far away. How anyone can campaign in these

circumstances is Dion 's belief really, and I think it is very

difficult to see how this is going to have any sort of happy ending. If

both sides meet back from the rink, you can have those elections. Let us

move on. 27% say they think UKIP are racist but 29% still back them. It

is not necessarily the party that people thinks is racist, but it

might attract racist. We could talk about this for the rest of the

evening and just get the sport! It is a really thorough pole and it

will make interesting reading for all four leaders. What it tells you

is how complex the richest electorate are. That whilst they do

think, most people think UKIP has become a magnet for racist bigots,

six out of ten people think that Nigel Farage's outfit is packed with

extremist, but they are prepared to vote for him because they think he

is more in touch and the other leaders. That is really interesting

and also the research is expensive. It talks about things that people

have liked about the colour vision. They like that the coalition raise

the personal tax allowance to ?10,000. They are also praised for

capping benefits, but attacked for the bedroom tax. Or despairing

subsidy as we might want to call it. We will call it the bedroom tax. If

you are sitting in Westminster working out your campaign, or where

ever you are, you will be looking at what other messages that are

resonating here. The clue to how people will vote of different for

the European election. That's right. Broadly, it doesn't matter

what UKIP stand for. What the voters are saying we don't like established

politicians and politics. They are saying they will have a protest vote

for one election only and UKIP will do. It does not matter about this

party, but they are about to win the most seats in Europe, and what the

mainstream parties have to take from this kind of data is that people are

fed up with them. But what can they do? David Cameron has been promising

that we will have a new look at our relationship with the European

Union, but we know that holding that kind of referendum is almost

impossible. Absolutely. Nick Clegg's ratings have plummeted by

taking on Nigel Farage. However, the Lib Dems have been upfront and they

are pro`Europe. However, this tells you about this very richest thing of

want to give it a kick in the teeth and have a protest. The Liberal

Democrats always used to be the recipients of the protest vote. Now

it looks as if UKIP will get it. The challenge is how do you say to those

people, actually, if you vote to UKIP next year, you will probably

get Ed Miliband. Which they probably won't anyway. You are right. They

want to give the main parties a bit of a kicking, but not too huge a

kicking. And not on home ground. Exactly. People are saying they

don't think that the European elections are that important, so it

is the eye your time to do it. It will give Nick barrage `` it will

give Nigel Farage quite a bit of power. He doesn't even agree with

the European Parliament. But we don't want to end up with people who

are not as in touch as Nigel Farage is. UKIP is really a one`man party.

I doubt if many of the electorate could name another UKIP politician

beyond Nigel Farage. It is crazy to think that someone like him could

form a government because although I think he is probably capable of

running a government department, he needs 22 other Cabinet ministers.

UKIP is not a proper political party. He just needs to take this

home with him, or shove it on a piece of paper and he is laughing.

Let us move on to be observer. Pressure from more than 30 of Ed

Miliband's parliamentary candidates to bring back the railway to state

control. Labour macro while some of his candidates might be saying it's

a great vote winner, I'd then see him actually coming up with it. He

has one huge problem coming up with his van to freeze energy prices. It

could well be somewhere down the line that you talk about taking the

energy industry into public ownership. The last thing he needs

is to make it look like he is taking all of public industry `` private

industry into public industry. Well, it is not impossible. The East

Coast mainline is now state owned. He needs to work out all these

independent rail operators and get them to work together sensibly, and

bring the fares down. It is very dodgy for him. Of course. Other

countries manage to have a transport net work that functions and is

affordable to lose. Absolutely. My own personal view is I would like to

see if essential public services in state control. It seems to be that

that is where they should be because they are essential. But how do you

make them run efficiently? That is the problem we have a four, but

there is no reason why the state can't run something as efficiently

as a private company. We did have a bad experience before and the danger

is that the electorate will shy away from this. Let us move on to the

mail on Sunday he stays with Ed Miliband. He is on to front pages.

He says that he will force people to get fit. How will he do that? It is

a lairy is. This is the e`mails screaming about these neo`

communists who are going to make us healthier. `` this is the Sunday

mail. As you said before we came on air, the Daily Mail is the paper

with the biggest health coverage. On a Tuesday morning there are hundreds

of people queueing up for this newspaper because there are miracle

cures in it. When you look at it, it is perfectly sensible. There are

some things that are slightly questionable and these are the

things that people will pick up on. For instance, ban on sponsorship for

sport by drink firms. That will have a serious impact across the board,

especially grass roots organisations. Banning supermarkets

for selling drinks near the door and sweetener the till. Aiming for a

smoke`free generation. It would help a lot of parent if there weren't

sweets may be till, but haven't we learned that you cannot force people

to do things? And a sense, that is exactly what you're doing. If you

are fiddling around with advertising, that is part of the

nudge approach to it. Minimum pricing for alcohol has been put on

the table by both Labour and the Conservatives. This is not as

extreme as the mail on Sunday would want you to believe. Well, it was

Labour who fought in the cafe culture that introduced 24`hour

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

away from it, but I think most parents will agree with it, and that

is why they put the drinks by the sweets, by the way. It is for the

parents. Victims of the IRA deserve pay`outs,

David Cameron in a bid to persuade Libya.

They are going to Libya costs of some of the materials that were

used. A lot of the material came from Libya. The argument has always

been the Libyans have to pay the victims compensation. At the end of

the story in the Sunday Telegraph, it explains the real album. None of

this can happen until Libya is a more stable country `` the real

trouble. The Libyans are not against the idea of paying compensation but

as far as they are concerned, they have more pressing concerns in their

own country to deal with first. This is surely trying to bring British

victims of IRA attacks in line with American victims is according to

this report, Tony Blair intervened `` because according to. So American

victims of IRA bomb attacks received millions in compensation from Libya

and British victims received nothing. This is about winding

British victims in line with what happened in America. `` wingding.

And these efforts started some time ago. Tony Blair was very active with

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

for another look at the front pages. But as tensions continue to escalate

in Ukraine, more on the situation in Odessa and Sloviansk.
