10/05/2014 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

us tomorrow. With me, Kate Devlin of the Herald and journalist and author

Matthew Green. Tomorrow's front pages.

The paper says the BBC has been accused of double standards. It

compares the treatment of the DJ to that of Jeremy Clarkson.

The Sunday Telegraph carries a survey about patient treatment. They

suggest that they are waiting more than one week to see their doctor on

more than 50 million occasions. Let's begin with a couple of papers

which are featuring this story of the row over funding of free

schools. There is a suggestion in the Independent on Sunday that the

zealot Michael Gove has diverted ?400 million to his pet project,

free schools. Where has he taken this money from? He has taken it

from other schools, from places from `` for other schools. There are two

parts to this story. One is education and the other is

tit`for`tat that is happening between Michael Gove and the Liberal

Democrats. The education side is very important because that is one

of the charges that has always been put against free schools, that they

are kind of in the wrong place and some of them are taking resources

from other schools which need to be built and other places. This is an

allegation that he has raided a fund that is supposed to help create more

school places across the country at a time when we also have a rising

birth rate and followed it to his pet projects. Some of the language

being used is rather right. Zealotry, obsession.

Exactly. It is another embarrassing episode for the coalition when they

are at each other's throats for `` insertion area as education. The

report in the Observer said that a lot of these free schools are

failing. The Ofsted report said 11% are inadequate which is double the

number for the state sector. So it is not just a poison for the

coalition, it may not be working. But those who support free schools

would say 89% are successful and they take a while to bed in. Yes, it

may take a while to judge, but it is amazing the vitriol that is flying

back and forth. Another piece of strong language,

both's lunatic rage to rescue his free school vision. There are other

schools beside free school that need to be set up. It doesn't look good

to be grabbing money out of a budget from basic education and switching

it over to fund your pet project. It is one thing to have the plan

rolling out smoothly and working OK in some areas and not in others, but

to be scrabbling around at the last minute is not very reassuring. The

other problem is that so far free schools are in very `` are very

popular with some parents. He has had political capital and this seems

like a direct challenge to that. If he has taking money from other

children, notes spending spending restrictions

on free schools. But his office says that there will be an expansion of

free schools which will lead to an event and of places in total and

this budget where the money is coming from will be higher in the

next two years. There is also a quote from a spokesman for Michael

Gove saying that they suggestion that we are cutting places in an

area of need to pay for free schools in areas they are not needed, is

wrong. The money for free schools is not taken from there, that is not

true. I do logically, they might not be the kind of places that everybody

wants. No. And the problem is that this is coming from a very internal

row within the government. This is coming from high`level sources. In

the last couple of days, the Liberal Democrats and Michael Gove have gone

to war. We had leased e`mails on Friday suggesting that Nick Clegg

had pulled a fast one with his pet project which is free school meals.

Now we have these claims about Michael Gove's pet projects. We

should not be surprised about the timing, it is one year from the

general election and people will be jockeying for position.

Staying with the Observer, look at what Michelle Obama has been talking

about today. Using her husband's address to talk about the abductions

of 200 girls in Nigeria about four weeks ago. Saying that they were

outraged and heartbroken. And as parents of girls, really rather

bereft at the plight of these girls who have been taken by Boko Haram.

It is a part of the world that you know quite well, Matthew? Yes, I

lived in Nigeria for a couple of beers. What is remarkable is to see

this insurgency which has been going on for some years now under the

global spotlight in a way that it has not been before. It is easy to

remember `` to forget that Boko Haram have killed thousands of

people, even early this year, they killed 50 boys in a boys pupil

school. That got barely a ripple of attention globally. Suddenly, they

are in the spotlight. The name means, Western education is bad. The

fact that boys were targeted to, will surprise people. This statistic

of how few children are in school in Nigeria, not just girls, but boys as

well, has really surprised me. Yes, it is shocking. And part of this is

that there has been so much attention in the past couple of

days, a spotlight has been thrown on this, but Boko Haram has been

committing atrocities for a long time. Lots of people are suggesting

that unless a lot more is done to ease the absolute poverty in large

parts, this kind of thing will just continue and that they will find

people flocking to Boko Haram. Yes. It is a fascinating moment for

Nigeria. Only a few weeks ago, it overtook South Africa to be the

biggest economy in Africa. But still the struggle to spread that around

and to help alleviate poverty. That is the environment in which Boko

Haram is thriving. And huge pressure on the Nigerian government which in

the first few weeks did virtually nothing. This happened over one

month ago. It is only now that this campaign has built momentum. A

hat`trick for the Observer, voters cannot name there any P.

Shall I be mean and ask you about yours? Why can't we named our MEPs?

I think it is because voters are quite smart. We have busy lives. We

all know that they are `` that the European Parliament has some very

hard`working politicians in it but we also know that there are some

people who are on gravy trains and not working in the national

interest. Voters pick that up and they are aware of that and they know

that the parties put forward people who they maybe would not put forward

as an MP. So they wrote for the party and not for the MP. There is a

paradox because you kip `` UKIP has been saying we have sold all our

power is out to Brussels so people would Da Silva `` so you would think

there would be more interest. I'll yes, there is interest, but it is

about the parties, not individuals. So there could be a huge number of

votes for UKIP. We have seen on the Telegraph a very personal appeal

from David Cameron, not to vote for UKIP. I don't invest necessarily

because of individual MPs. Let's look at the mail on Sunday. The BBC

on the front page. BBC sacks TJ for playing the sun has got his hat on.

The presenter did not know that the original version contained a racist

work, the N word. This is a man called David Lowe, who is in hot

water. David Lowe has worked for 32 years in radio Devon and he has a

show where he plays old classic songs. And he played a version of

the sun has got its hat on, which contained an offensive racist slur.

He said he was horrified when he found this out. And of course lots

of friends and colleagues have rallied to support. It does seem

like the BBC is being pretty hard. He has basically been forced to

resign. Busy, the real problem is that the row in the background of

Jeremy Clarkson who has kept his place despite facing similar

allegations. The BBC say that they have offered the BBC `` stay below

the opportunity to continue presenting his show and we would be

happy to have them back on air. We accept that the conversation with

David could have been handled better but if he chooses not to continue,

we would like to wish you well for the future. So we will see whether

David Lowe feels that is enough for him to carry on. But it is the

double standard over how this man is being treated compared to Jeremy

Clarkson. Absolutely. And it seems as though David Lowe has taken a sea

with it as well. He feels very hard done by. He was very contrite when

he realised his mistake and admitted it. It does seem like a genuine

error. All the stories" from his friends, it does seem like he just

didn't know. And he didn't actually say the word, it was in the song he

was playing. He has played the song many times and he just didn't

realise. It does seem like double standards that he has lost a job and

the `` and Jeremy Clarkson has walked away. It does raise the

question whether BBC should stop rap songs for being `` drops `` rap

songs from being played. Another story, Cameron tells you ``

Eurosceptics, trust me I get it. He keeps saying that the parties `` the

Tories are the only party with a credible plan. We keep hearing about

renegotiating our relationship. I think people are now starting to

realise the problem with the 2017 referendum. They thought it was so

far away that it could distract people. But every time there is an

election, everybody was to know, what have we got from Europe so far?

You have to get bits back through negotiation over the next couple of

years. It doesn't really seem as if there is much to say. They seem

worried that they are going to suffer from it. It has never felt

that David Cameron is saying we should be coming out of Europe. It

does not seem that that is his belief. We need to be in it, but not

on current terms. Exactly. And I feel that there is a huge part of

the Conservative Party that will be very worried about leaving Europe

and the impact it would have on business in Britain. But he has

toward the threat from UKIP. Yes, and it would be very interesting to

see what impact the European elections have on the presence of UK

in the general election. They have no MPs. It might be leveraged `` it

might be difficult to leveraged that international success.

Let's stay with the Telegraph for our final story. Millions waiting a

week to see AGP. We have heard that many people have to wait several

days and are recovering by the time they get an appointment! But this is

is an excellent read figure, 50 million occasions that people had to

wait more than a week. `` this is an extraordinary figure. The GPA that

Jeremy Hunt is going to do something about that. Yes, but if you have a

serious injury you are going to get seen. I have spent years living in

countries where you will not get AGP and if there is one, he will not be

free. I completely disagree with you. We are very bad at diagnosing

ourselves so people put things off and they think they have a pain down

my left arm, or down my abdomen, and suddenly they rushed to hospitals

for emergency heart operations which cost the NHS tens of thousands of

pounds. It is much better to be treated and that is why in some

ways, to have AGP service in the UK, they are supposed to pick up these

things. A friend went down to the GPS users treated perfidy well.

Incredulity. `` fitted perfectly well. Kate and Matthew, stay with us

and we will be back hopefully just after half past 11 for more of the

front pages. It depends on the Eurovision Song

Contest. Stay with us. We will have more on the growing global campaign

of `` against the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls. Now

it is time for Reporters. Welcome to Reporters. From here in the world's

newsroom, we send out correspondent to bring you the best stories from
