and Chelsea. We also have the tennis from Rome, a win for Andy Murray but

a defeat for Roger Federer. Stay with me, Sportsday is straight after

the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

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

Kevin Schofield, Chief Political Correspondent, The Sun and Emma

Barnett, Women's Editor at The Telegraph. Tomorrow's front pages,

starting with many of the front pages have pictures of the teenager

Stephen Sutton who has died from cancer after raising nearly 3.5

million pounds for charity. The Telegraph shows him there with his

mother who says her heart is bursting with pride and breaking

with pain. The paper also has a story about high levels of sugar

consumption, and a potential obesity time bomb.The advice is, we should

be drinking just one glass of fruit juice a day. Stephen Sutton is also

on the front page of the Mirror which praises his courage and

inspiration to others. The Sun has a tribute to the teenager with a quote

from an interview he gave to the paper, saying "you only get one shot

at life... Make it count". There are shocking pictures in The Times of

two of its journalists who escaped over the Syrian border after they

were kidnapped, beaten and shot.The Guardian has a picture of Nicole

Kidman at the Cannes Film Festival where her new film Grace of Monaco

has come in for a lot of stick from the critics. The paper's main story

is its own investigation into conditions for migrant workers in

Qatar, which it says has now brought about change in the World Cup state.

The Mail claims bosses at Astra Zeneca are set to pocket up to 60

million pounds if the drugs giant is taken over by Pfizer. The

Independent leads with the news that the number of migrants from new EU

member states has actually fallen since restrictions were lifted in

January. So let's begin. We will start with

that, on the front of the Independent, fewer Bulgarians and

Romanians, the truth about UKIP's Flood, is Farage in trouble? I don't

think so, yet, the idea of this flood, these posters and

scaremongering going on, it has not materialised since the figures are

out. It is down in the last three months of 2013, in particular, those

two groups who are coming here to work, but on the year, it is up,

29,000. I do not think it is a foregone conclusion but the idea

that the minute you open the floodgates, they change something,

that there will be all of these people coming in, that has not

materialised. It has to be said, the red tops, including your paper, that

contributed, some would say, to the scare stories, do you think you have

it wrong? No, as I said earlier, we were reflecting many of the

predictions being made, I don't think anyone even knows, maybe on

the left, predicting numbers would fall once the tradition was made. It

was not only UKIP and that kind of constituency that was saying they

are all going to be coming? Clearly, no one was predicting mess, and the

figures... Some made a bit high. It is worth saying that this is the

first three months. `` predicting this. With people wanting to come

into Britain to live and work, in summer we will see what the figures

are. The Daily Mail were saying that seats were booked up, you can get on

a flight. Again, some people were saying that in the run`up to New

Year's Day, but then it transpired that that did not actually happen.

What was funny was that Keith Barnes, a MP, he took it on himself

to go to an airport on New Year 's morning. Maybe that has scared them

off! He got there, and said, hang on a minute... There is an MP here!

What is scary is that trouble for Farage is trouble for UKIP. The

thing with Farage is that he is Teflon, nothing sticks to him.

People want this to be true. UKIP want these figures to be true, they

will just say, we told you so! It almost does not matter, in spite of

the fact. A lot of the appeal of UKIP is that they are not the Tories

and they are not Labour or the Liberal Democrats. They can say or

do anything. People will vote for them. It is giving a kick into the

mainstream party. It is facts over matter? We are trained to make the

matter, even in this discussion. Even for UKIP? A lot of the time, it

is the sentiment. It is a motion. Farage has positioned himself as an

outsider, which political leader can get away with their photo being of

them with a pint? Know what else can pull that off. He is pulling it off

because he is positioning himself saying that he is not like the

others. `` nobody else can pull that off. They are going to miss it by a

mile. It plays into the UKIP agenda. Let's go on to your newspaper, " you

get one shot at life, make it count" . Stephen Sutton has raised

?3 million for a cancer charity and has now passed away, he died, he had

bowel cancer at the age of 15, and now he has passed away. But he

really did make it count, didn't he? It is an incredible legacy to leave

behind, what strikes you as you read this, it is his incredible

positivity. He knew that he did not have long to live. He says he

smiles, because he has a lot to smile about. He has seen a lot and

achieved a lot, and has had fun doing it too. Given that he was so

young, most of us, we would feel angry and bitter that his wife has

been snatched away like that, but he was an incredible young man. He was

on the front page of the Daily Mirror as well, he was just 19,

courageously fought cancer, raised ?3.5 million for charity, and

inspired a nation. His stories on the front of all of the tabloids, is

that surprising? `` his story. Or, is his story so incredible that he

deserves to be on the front cover? It was already across the front

pages of all of the websites, never mind the papers. I know what you

mean, that this boy has captured the imagination of the people, that is

huge. It does not normally happen, these sorts of stories. It is the

amount of money, it must be. ?3.5 million, for one person to achieve,

that is one of the single largest for a single person to have raised

on their own. It is one of the largest contributions in this area.

And they are still counting. It is the sheer breadth of the idea of how

much he has been able to raise and this bucket list but he had that he

wanted to get done before he died. That in itself captures peoples

emotions and gets them to put their hands in their pockets. It is also

in an age where... There is a credit crunch and there are problems with

the economy, and so forth. The tragedy for him and his family, that

is a good news story, on the greatness of humanity, and what the

goodness of mankind is. I don't want to build it up too much. But it is

at a time when we are bombarded with negative stories of people on

trials, and so on, but this is a story of courage, that is why so

minute people have latched onto it. He met the Prime Minister, and he

has latched onto it. It is an incredible story. Let's go onto the

times, a journalist has been shot by Syria `` The Times newspaper. He has

survived. These are horrific pictures. Two photojournalists, this

is Jack Hill, the main photo is of Anthony Loyd, he is bruised and

battered. You don't often get journalists on the front pages of

their own newspapers. The Times newspaper is making a point of doing

this. These two are phenomenally lucky to be alive. We are lucky to

have people who get these stories. It is not bad to remind people of

that. A lot of the time, foreign news stories are difficult. We

talked about, why is Stephen Sutton on the front pages? He is a British

boy, we can imagine being neighbours with him. Syria, and these other

stories, they are very important, and we cannot find a way into it

ourselves. By seeing that to Western reporters who are out there are

serving us as the public to get stories, they are at the hands of

rebels themselves and could be losing their lives and they are.

They are being beaten within an inch of their lives. That is something

that brings the story home and brings the story home to people in

the country. It was one rebel faction that did this, they were

rescued by another rebel front? Apparently, when they found out

about it, they made a beeline to where they were being held, and they

insisted that they were freed. The suspicion is that those who took

them, they took them and thought that they were Western journalists

and they would be worth a few quid. Then they came to the rescue. The

story is like something from a Hollywood film. They were bundled

into the back of a car, they were thrown into the boot, and they could

see what was happening through a crack in the boot, they kicked it

open and got away, they were recaptured and were then beaten and

Anthony Loyd was shot twice in the leg. It is an incredible story.

Incredibly lucky. Let's go onto the Guardian. Terry is to end the abuse

of slave migrant workers. `` Qatar is to finish. They got the 2022

World Cup, they are affecting some kind of change over there. Officials

have said they will replace the current sponsorship system, that

means that a worker is tethered to their employer in terms of their

rights, that means that, essentially, once the workers

working for one person, they can do anything, essentially, to them. They

have been very concerned about the rights of these migrant workers,

what is interesting is the recommendations for these changes

comes from a London law firm which was commissioned to review the

legislative framework in the country. It is a real influence, if

you think about it. It shows a side of sport that I never think about,

when the eyes of the world are on a country where everyone is looking

for a certain period of time, you had to see if it is lasting change

or whether it can actually happen. There is the opportunity to do some

good. It is interesting, many people criticise the awarding of the World

Cup to Qatar, it is going to be very hot, and it is a Gulf state, but

actually, many people say that it will focus the light on them, and

then they have to look at themselves and what they are doing in certain

sectors of society. It will be good is good came from it, but it is the

combination of horrific stories, about dozens, if not hundreds, of

foreign workers and migrant workers in Qatar who have died building B

stadiums, because they are working in shoddy conditions and working

around the clock `` building these stadiums. It is only around the

corner and it is worth remembering what actually goes on behind the

scenes and it shows the dark underbelly of this sport. You

mentioned it is not the ideal place to hold a summer sporting event. But

they need to shine a light and improve the working conditions. That

would be a very good thing. We are going to end with the Guardian as

well. The Independent, send photograph. Nicole Kidman at the

opening of the biotech in the title role of Grace Kelly of Monaco. It

has not gone down too well. It has not been released yet. It has not

been released. The Royal family are furious. They would not have minded

it either had historic net. But apparently it is lacking in terms of

film policy and what they feel is the representation of their

mother's life. It is awkward. The film festival is where Grace Kelly

met her future husband, the King. Where she became a princess. This is

going down pretty badly. Thank you for this. He described the film as a

142 minute Chanel ad without the depth or insight. We have to end it

there. It has been great having you. Thank you. Stay with us. At the top

of the hour, much more on that continuing rescue effort to try and

get at some of the dozens of men still trapped several kilometres

below ground in the western Turkey. Now it is time for Sportsday.

Good evening, this is Sportsday. Curses! Benfica beaten
