:00:18. > :00:21.If only you knew what I have to put up with!
:00:22. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
:00:25. > :00:28.us tomorrow. With me are the political journalist, Sean Dilley
:00:29. > :00:34.and the broadcaster Penny Smith. He is the one sitting nice and still.
:00:35. > :00:40.And Penny is a real fidget. Hold on, you said I was looking a little
:00:41. > :00:43.short. I couldn't find the handle! I am trying to tell people the news. I
:00:44. > :00:46.do apologise. The Metro leads with a record number
:00:47. > :00:49.of serial criminals being allowed to walk free with suspended sentences,
:00:50. > :00:51.in an effort to keep down the prison population.
:00:52. > :00:57.The Telegraph's front page features celebrating Manchester City players
:00:58. > :01:00.as they life the Premier League cup. `` as they lift the Premier League
:01:01. > :01:02.cup. Their main headline claims pensioners shouldn't rely on
:01:03. > :01:04.government plans designed to limit the cost of care.
:01:05. > :01:07.The Guardian reports a sharp increase in the number of soldiers
:01:08. > :01:10.returning from Afghanistan and Iraq seeking help for mental health
:01:11. > :01:13.issues. The Express says summer is just
:01:14. > :01:17.around the corner and that temperatures of 75 degrees are on
:01:18. > :01:20.the way. The Daily Mail has more on the
:01:21. > :01:23.government's policy of in`depth questioning for anyone seeking a
:01:24. > :01:26.mortgage. And claims from Stephen Sutton, the teen with cancer who's
:01:27. > :01:29.been fundraising for charity, that doctors initially missed his
:01:30. > :01:32.disease. And, finally, the Daily Star claims
:01:33. > :01:36.this year's Eurovision winner, Austria's bearded lady Conchita
:01:37. > :01:46.Wurst, is due to cash in. They say she could be the most successful
:01:47. > :01:52.winner since Abba. With costumes to rival Abba, too.
:01:53. > :01:57.So let's begin. Thousands dodge jail for crimes, what kind of crimes? We
:01:58. > :02:05.are talking everything. The scent of a crime prevention `` the Centre for
:02:06. > :02:11.crime prevention have dug out anything from sex offences, and
:02:12. > :02:17.downwards, seen suspended sentences. It mentions paedophilia,
:02:18. > :02:23.which is very loaded, and that covers a multitude of offences, of
:02:24. > :02:27.course. I think this is rather interesting, almost something you'd
:02:28. > :02:31.see on the front of the Daily Mail, because you've got 12,000 criminals
:02:32. > :02:35.with more than ten convictions getting suspended sentences, which
:02:36. > :02:39.indicates they are being overused, but where will we put them? Where
:02:40. > :02:45.can you put prisoners? You stick some of them in open prisons and
:02:46. > :02:48.they abscond. The other thing is, what our prisons for? Are they for
:02:49. > :02:55.rehabilitation? Could they be doing something a lot more useful? In the
:02:56. > :03:02.United States, they have an island for criminals. People can live in
:03:03. > :03:07.villages. We are not proposing this in this review, it has to be said,
:03:08. > :03:11.but it is interesting because it is fair to say that you can lock them
:03:12. > :03:19.all up, but what it is indicative of is that the justice system isn't
:03:20. > :03:24.working. But there is a point, what is prison for? You'd have to go
:03:25. > :03:28.right back down to what we supposed to be doing with these people? If
:03:29. > :03:39.they are thugs and they are thanks for all of reasons. People turn to
:03:40. > :03:44.that sort of crime... How will you sort it out? Tough on crime tough on
:03:45. > :03:50.the causes of crime? Prison itself as it hush`hush went `` as a
:03:51. > :03:56.punishment. Resources are stretched if you have a huge prison
:03:57. > :04:00.population, how do you rehabilitate all of them? Privatise it! That is
:04:01. > :04:06.happening everywhere. And some of these people, you are not saying
:04:07. > :04:15.they shouldn't go to prison? IM not. Of course they should. Violent
:04:16. > :04:23.people who reoffend should go to prison. But the point is, what is
:04:24. > :04:27.better? As you say, the trouble is that although we talk about violent
:04:28. > :04:31.people, is it violent people attacking other violent people? I
:04:32. > :04:37.suppose it is more understandable... I do know, that
:04:38. > :04:43.stories to compensate it! You might be doing that to quite a few
:04:44. > :04:55.stories. # that story is too complicated. Right, let's move on.
:04:56. > :05:04.Stop rustling! You are very unruly tonight. The business section of the
:05:05. > :05:12.Telegraph. Fracking, hugely controversial, as we know. The first
:05:13. > :05:18.British ale gas is to fuel British homes next year. `` British shale
:05:19. > :05:26.gas. Really? And then, people who are going to have fracking on their
:05:27. > :05:30.land, they are going to be entitled to minimum compensation if they
:05:31. > :05:34.don't want it going on. I read later on that it says that just one shale
:05:35. > :05:47.gas well has been partially fracked in the UK to date by Cuadrilla. How
:05:48. > :05:53.will that go on the size a logical effects `` the seismological
:05:54. > :05:57.effect? It causes earthquakes. It could be next year, they say, but
:05:58. > :06:01.isn't going to happen, I think, because there will be a lot of
:06:02. > :06:09.opposition. There are already has been. But the politicians wanted.
:06:10. > :06:12.Everyone says this fracking is bad, but there seems such a drive for it,
:06:13. > :06:20.it is going to go ahead whatever happens. We don't want the lights to
:06:21. > :06:25.go out, do we? That is difficult because until we find an alternative
:06:26. > :06:32.source of energy, this is going to be a problem. We need to go hell for
:06:33. > :06:36.leather to try to find something. On a serious note, if it is causing
:06:37. > :06:40.earthquakes, if you look at it globally, if there are these issues,
:06:41. > :06:46.there are still questions, and they don't really belong in government
:06:47. > :06:50.policy, questions. There is also the issue of getting access to the land
:06:51. > :06:57.because people could get in the way just that way, saying, you cannot
:06:58. > :07:01.access it. At the moment, they have done a deal with some farmers in
:07:02. > :07:06.some of these sites. They are allowed to drill under the land,
:07:07. > :07:15.then they are going along. Soap... I don't know. `` so... I don't know.
:07:16. > :07:17.It is very complicated. Let's go to the front page of the Daily
:07:18. > :07:24.Telegraph. This is another complicated story. Cap won't prevent
:07:25. > :07:30.shocking care costs. Pensioners bills will reach ?140,000 for care,
:07:31. > :07:33.before new rules take effect, but some people will not live long
:07:34. > :07:39.enough to see these new rules come in. But this new cap isn't going to
:07:40. > :07:44.be a cap at all. We will talk about this story at the moment, but Ed
:07:45. > :07:50.Miliband, Nick Clegg and David Cameron or promised to work together
:07:51. > :08:01.on social care. `` lately promised to work together on social care. Yet
:08:02. > :08:06.this story, we are sorry about all of this, the devil is in the detail.
:08:07. > :08:12.This cap doesn't cover accommodation. That is a third of
:08:13. > :08:16.the cost. About a third of it, yes. And it doesn't include the full
:08:17. > :08:20.amount that people have to pay in residential homes, only the official
:08:21. > :08:26.local cost. Which is the amount that a council says it will pay for a
:08:27. > :08:30.place in a home, which is... There are lots of caveats, and that is
:08:31. > :08:34.where it becomes complicated. What it boils down to is that there we
:08:35. > :08:40.were, all saying, this is great news, it isn't. Can I just say,
:08:41. > :08:46.nearly five years of doing paper reviews, I've never come across a
:08:47. > :08:50.story where on a first paragraph on the front page, you're not clear
:08:51. > :08:53.about what the story is about. And then in the sixth paragraph, you're
:08:54. > :09:00.still not sure. It is interesting that maybe that means how
:09:01. > :09:07.complicated this story is. You're sort of having to feel your way
:09:08. > :09:11.through the subject. Could it be that the politicians have agreed to
:09:12. > :09:20.something without understanding the nuance? Well, who knows. All I know
:09:21. > :09:26.is that as we get older, and, as a nation, this is going to be more and
:09:27. > :09:30.more problematic. It affects more men than women because one in 13
:09:31. > :09:36.women this will affect these extra costs is, and one in seven men.
:09:37. > :09:41.Let's stay with the Daily Telegraph. BBC disgraceful over race row says
:09:42. > :09:47.Boris, the background to this, a local radio presenter, David Lowe,
:09:48. > :09:52.who has been working for 32 years at BBC Radio Devon accidentally played
:09:53. > :09:57.a song that had a racist word in it. And Boris says the way that the way
:09:58. > :10:02.the BBC have dealt with it is a disgrace. You find yourself in
:10:03. > :10:08.partial agreement with this. It is very ordered. This is a song, The
:10:09. > :10:15.Sun Has Got His Hat On... From 1932. When very different language
:10:16. > :10:21.pertained. It is an understandable mistake. If it is sunny outside, I
:10:22. > :10:29.would say, yes, it's quite nice to have an old`fashioned song. And, off
:10:30. > :10:33.you go. Then he says, I'm sorry, I didn't realise it had that word in
:10:34. > :10:39.it. He offers to fall on his sword, and they say, yes. What's
:10:40. > :10:43.fascinating as well, BBC regional stations and national stations don't
:10:44. > :10:49.have a delay system such as the commercial stations. The argument
:10:50. > :10:56.for that is that they treat the audience as adults. To do is sort of
:10:57. > :11:01.wonder, then, one coma `` one commercial station has a 14 second
:11:02. > :11:06.delay, should you introduce these things to protect the corporation's
:11:07. > :11:15.reputation when something like that happens? And nobody is defending
:11:16. > :11:20.that. The whole of the BBC board should apologise to David Lowe for
:11:21. > :11:31.the way he has been treated, Boris says. They talk about it being mob
:11:32. > :11:35.rule, almost. The Internet bob, exactly, terrified bureaucrats, he
:11:36. > :11:42.says. Let's try to cover some of the stories. Mental illness surges among
:11:43. > :11:46.war veterans. A charity warns there is a rising tide for those who
:11:47. > :11:52.fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, coming home after perilous tours of
:11:53. > :11:58.duty. This is not a surprise, as the rose. I'm about to give a defence of
:11:59. > :12:04.the military because it is close to my heart. My friends are back from
:12:05. > :12:08.Afghanistan, nobody is sure when they will go out there again. We
:12:09. > :12:12.pick people to join the military from the general public, we give
:12:13. > :12:18.them guns, we train them to kill people, that is the reality. We
:12:19. > :12:23.train them to die. More than that, the military don't understand why it
:12:24. > :12:29.is that when we ask them to make this ultimate sacrifice, the public
:12:30. > :12:33.do not have the sympathy they put a foot wrong that they are going to
:12:34. > :12:37.get attacked, and that is enough to send anybody around the bend. And
:12:38. > :12:42.they need not just physical rehabilitation but mental, too. It
:12:43. > :12:46.seems the mental health is the one which is the lurking thing because
:12:47. > :12:52.they are talking about it coming out even ten or 12 years, many years
:12:53. > :12:54.afterwards. They are still talking about people in service from
:12:55. > :13:01.Northern Ireland coming forward right now. It takes a long time
:13:02. > :13:04.sometimes the people tick even realise that what they are suffering
:13:05. > :13:08.as a direct result of their experiences. And to seek help. That
:13:09. > :13:16.is the other thing, seeking help. If you're used to being a strong man,
:13:17. > :13:19.or strong woman, and then you are having these terrible might there
:13:20. > :13:26.whatever, or anything else that's affecting alive, there is this kind
:13:27. > :13:31.of... You try to battle on. One key point, 57%, the number of
:13:32. > :13:39.incidences, and it is important to realise we have had the budget is
:13:40. > :13:42.top`level and this will get worse not better. That's it for The Papers
:13:43. > :13:46.this hour. Thank you to my guests Sean Dilley and Penny Smith, you'll
:13:47. > :13:48.both be back at 11:30pm for another look at the stories making the news
:13:49. > :13:57.tomorrow. Stay with us here on BBC News. You
:13:58. > :14:03.have the latest from the Ukraine where government forces have opened
:14:04. > :14:04.fire at crowd. But coming up next, it's time for
