:00:00. > :00:16.in the league one play`off final. That is all in 15 minutes.

:00:17. > :00:23.Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us

:00:24. > :00:31.tomorrow. With me, the pensions analyst and evening standard writer,

:00:32. > :00:33.Mihir Bose. We will start with the Independent, which says the

:00:34. > :00:37.Conservatives are exploiting a loophole which lets backers make

:00:38. > :00:41.anonymous donations to the party using a Private Members' Bill. The

:00:42. > :00:46.express is leading on the safety of statins. The Telegraph says that one

:00:47. > :00:51.in five Britons with the University degree goes on to become a

:00:52. > :00:55.millionaire. Tesco is offering HIV tests with your groceries according

:00:56. > :00:59.to the front page of the metro. The Guardian has a report from Chibok,

:01:00. > :01:04.the Nigerian town where 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped by

:01:05. > :01:06.Islamist militants. The Times claims that research

:01:07. > :01:11.casting doubt on the rate of global warming was deliberately suppressed.

:01:12. > :01:17.And the male has a warning that overuse of the internet may be

:01:18. > :01:19.harmful for a child's mental health. Starting with a story that has

:01:20. > :01:25.dominated the headlines, the situation in Turkey. The front page

:01:26. > :01:34.of the Independent. A nation in torment, with the death. Mounting

:01:35. > :01:37.and anger rising. `` death toll mounting. There has been a union

:01:38. > :01:42.strike today and many people on the street protesting how the government

:01:43. > :01:48.has handed this. The nation feels that it has not been properly

:01:49. > :01:55.handled. Your heart goes out to them, those that know they have lost

:01:56. > :01:57.loved ones and those who do not know what has happened. The hope is gone

:01:58. > :02:02.but they feel the authorities did not get on top of it. They really

:02:03. > :02:08.could have done more. And it is a national disaster. They have so many

:02:09. > :02:13.problems going on, problems with Syria, and the Middle East itself is

:02:14. > :02:15.in turmoil. This kind of accident, I think they would have hoped that the

:02:16. > :02:21.government would have taken charge. It seems like they have been

:02:22. > :02:28.disappointed. And Mihir Bose, there have been these photographs of an

:02:29. > :02:35.aide to the Prime Minister kicking a protester. And it just goes to show

:02:36. > :02:38.that people still work in very difficult surroundings all over the

:02:39. > :02:42.world, but this is the first time when a disaster like this Ros

:02:43. > :02:48.Altmann has been accompanied by an immediate political backlash against

:02:49. > :02:54.the ruling party. And really, this shows the distance between the Prime

:02:55. > :03:00.Minister, or his ruling group, and the Turks at a certain level. I know

:03:01. > :03:04.he has won elections, but there is a great amount of disquiet clearly in

:03:05. > :03:08.the Turkish nation. And this might really affect his political future.

:03:09. > :03:13.And this is interesting. I spoke to analyst this evening who said that

:03:14. > :03:17.he survived the protests last year, and he is surviving a bad bribery

:03:18. > :03:23.scandal that has involved a lot of MPs. Which has led to resignations.

:03:24. > :03:28.He tried to shut down Twitter and Facebook and yet he still seems to

:03:29. > :03:31.be Teflon. Do not know, this seems like a serious test. You never know

:03:32. > :03:38.where these things come from and it has come from this terrible

:03:39. > :03:41.tragedy. `` I do not know. Usually when a nation faces on politeness

:03:42. > :03:45.they pull together and that is not happening this time which is a

:03:46. > :03:50.serious indictment. And it suggests that Turkey is not as advanced a

:03:51. > :03:55.country as you would expect. It is sort of a handling of the situation

:03:56. > :03:59.`` the handling of the situation shows a lack of maturity and

:04:00. > :04:03.confidence by the authorities. And perhaps, according to the trade

:04:04. > :04:09.unions, the state of safety in the mining sector. Staying with the

:04:10. > :04:14.Independent, Tory funding. They use a secret club as a front for

:04:15. > :04:21.donations. The Burlington club?! I am intrigued by the name. It is

:04:22. > :04:26.called the United and Cecil club. I'm not sure if Manchester United

:04:27. > :04:32.have any involvement! Alex Ferguson is not a Tory, it has to be said!

:04:33. > :04:35.The main thrust of the story is that the donations that you can give

:04:36. > :04:39.through a private club do not have to be disclosed. Otherwise, a

:04:40. > :04:48.donation of a certain level has to be disclosed. So no rules have been

:04:49. > :04:51.broken? This is a question of funding political parties. Why do

:04:52. > :04:56.not think we have got this sorted out properly. The feeling is that we

:04:57. > :05:00.do not have a level playing field. I know the Conservatives will say that

:05:01. > :05:04.Labour is funded by the unions but at least that is transparent, if you

:05:05. > :05:10.like. We know that the unions founded the Labour Party, so that is

:05:11. > :05:13.the style. But this suggests that things are going on but are not

:05:14. > :05:16.publicly disclosed. And at the end of the day, the taxpayers do not

:05:17. > :05:22.want to fund political parties, which is the alternative. A national

:05:23. > :05:25.levy. We are getting to a situation where you require more money to

:05:26. > :05:30.fight elections. We had not reached the American level, but there is

:05:31. > :05:35.nevertheless a lot of money. And as the election broadcasts increase, we

:05:36. > :05:40.need more funding to make sure that you have a proper case to make to

:05:41. > :05:45.the people. The daily Telegraph, talking about election debates and

:05:46. > :05:53.campaigning. Interesting. An online election debates being suggested. It

:05:54. > :05:55.is interesting, it is in collaboration with YouTube. The

:05:56. > :05:59.Guardian, the Telegraph and YouTube joining together to produce an

:06:00. > :06:04.online election debate to rival some of the TV debates. The idea is to

:06:05. > :06:09.get younger people involved, who may not watch telly but they are engaged

:06:10. > :06:14.online. And also to encourage people to be able to interact in a way that

:06:15. > :06:18.you cannot do so much on the television debates. I do not know

:06:19. > :06:23.how it will work, and it is not actually a done deal, and they are

:06:24. > :06:29.still negotiating... This could be the new step. Just as the election

:06:30. > :06:33.debates were the big first step, at the last election, also the papers

:06:34. > :06:40.see an advantage in this. You are pushing them into the internet,

:06:41. > :06:47.getting young people in. My daughter certainly does not watch television

:06:48. > :06:53.the way that I did. But the fact is, because they are not on the main

:06:54. > :06:57.broadcasters, there is no Ofcom regulation and the BBC Trust would

:06:58. > :07:04.not be able to dip its toe into what is going on. A female presenter.

:07:05. > :07:07.There is a lot less control. Exactly. Candidates would feel that

:07:08. > :07:13.they could shout their mouth off. And that could work both ways. It

:07:14. > :07:20.may not be quite as transparent as you might expect, or as

:07:21. > :07:25.user`friendly. On the BBC, if it was on their website there would be more

:07:26. > :07:30.control. But it is one thing when it is the mainstream parties, but when

:07:31. > :07:37.you get some of the minority parties... The Greens, UKIP. Who

:07:38. > :07:41.knows? And have been told that there has to be a female presenter, moving

:07:42. > :07:47.away from the middle`class white presenters that one has. You can get

:07:48. > :07:51.a female presenter on the telly, you do not have to go online to get

:07:52. > :07:54.that! That is my point. It should be happening anyway. That is the

:07:55. > :08:02.argument that they make to get them going. Top of the Telegraph, it is

:08:03. > :08:06.official, how to make a million. Office of National Statistics

:08:07. > :08:10.figures show that one in five with a university degree goes on to amass a

:08:11. > :08:14.seven figure fortune. Are you a no union with your degree? It depends

:08:15. > :08:23.if you include my house, which is in my wife's name! There is misleading

:08:24. > :08:27.elements to this. If you include your home, and I'll live in London,

:08:28. > :08:33.where house prices have gone up dramatically... We are all

:08:34. > :08:38.millionaires. Only one in five. What about the rest of our scheme and is

:08:39. > :08:43.your principal place of abode included? Yes. And you have to live

:08:44. > :08:49.somewhere. Even if you sell, you have to move somewhere. What is more

:08:50. > :08:56.interesting is what it shows. The total wealth in private hands in the

:08:57. > :09:05.UK now stands at ?9.5 trillion. In the two years since 2010 and 2012.

:09:06. > :09:12.And it shows that the recession, its impact is not as deep in some areas

:09:13. > :09:16.as... But if you were loaded, there was not a recession anyway. That is

:09:17. > :09:22.one of the problems. Quantitative easing has been a fantastic policy

:09:23. > :09:27.for the well`off. It has revisited wealth from the middle groups to the

:09:28. > :09:30.top. `` redistribution. And the other statistic is that private

:09:31. > :09:38.pension wealth has apparently increased from ?2.9 trillion to ?3.6

:09:39. > :09:45.trillion. But for property, ?3.5 trillion. And they are all your

:09:46. > :09:52.clients! You have a degree, are you a millionaire? If you can sure

:09:53. > :09:58.house, then yes, I am in. Am I the only millionaire here? I work for

:09:59. > :10:03.the BBC, and must be loaded, that is what everyone thinks. I have two

:10:04. > :10:07.degrees in diameter rear of the year.

:10:08. > :10:12.Let's go on to the express. This story has been in the news today big

:10:13. > :10:18.time. Statins are officially safe, after a British Medical Journal

:10:19. > :10:25.suggested that perhaps there were problems with them. And statins,

:10:26. > :10:32.this story has been around for much of the day but the feeling has been

:10:33. > :10:37.that you go to the GP and you have high cholesterol and you are put on

:10:38. > :10:45.statins. I have been on statins. It is like taking an aspirin or a

:10:46. > :10:50.headache pill. Side effects? I have not had any. But the point is that

:10:51. > :10:58.this is the interesting thing. If you get research like this, it

:10:59. > :11:02.raises questions. Remember the skier with MMR. That affected people. It

:11:03. > :11:07.raises the question, should there not be more care when issuing papers

:11:08. > :11:13.of this kind? But this is the British Medical Journal. This is not

:11:14. > :11:16.a cartoon magazine. What they said in the original article was that if

:11:17. > :11:21.you take statins, you have a higher risk of diabetes, muscle pain,

:11:22. > :11:25.tiredness. And they are worried that this may have put off some people

:11:26. > :11:29.from taking statins. I must admit that in my experience, if you take

:11:30. > :11:33.statins, and the one that you take does not agree with you, it is quite

:11:34. > :11:37.common to have some muscle pain. You can change to a different one, which

:11:38. > :11:42.will agree with you. It is a question of finding the right one.

:11:43. > :11:49.The answer is not giving up on statins because it is important to

:11:50. > :11:52.control cholesterol, but use one that suits you. The doctors should

:11:53. > :11:56.also look at whether they should automatically prescribe it. That was

:11:57. > :12:01.one of the stories going around, that everyone over 50 should

:12:02. > :12:07.automatically have them. But NICE wants to lower the threshold. Let's

:12:08. > :12:19.go onto the Metro. HIV tests. Shoppers are offered a one checkup.

:12:20. > :12:25.You get your carrots and that is it. A saliva swab and that is it. The

:12:26. > :12:30.prisoner was interesting. Don't be afraid to get tested. Because a lot

:12:31. > :12:37.of people are afraid to even go and ask the question. And because it

:12:38. > :12:41.does not affect just you, it affects your partners and people you come in

:12:42. > :12:44.contact with, it is quite important socially for people to take

:12:45. > :12:49.responsibility, to have themselves tested. And if it is easy like

:12:50. > :12:55.this, I guess they are more likely to do that than if you have got to

:12:56. > :13:02.make an appointment and it feels grubby and difficult. If you work

:13:03. > :13:06.popping in while you are getting your carrots and potatoes, then it

:13:07. > :13:08.is easier. And this begs the question, we were under the

:13:09. > :13:13.impression that HIV has been tackled, if you like, given the

:13:14. > :13:25.fears that were there, legitimate fears. And it seems as if since

:13:26. > :13:33.2012, 100,000 people in Britain were estimated to be carriers of HIV. The

:13:34. > :13:38.risk is that if that 100,000, which is not a huge number of the

:13:39. > :13:43.publishing... But if they do not know, then it spreads again and we

:13:44. > :13:46.have a problem like in the 1980s. You will be back in an hour for

:13:47. > :13:50.another look at the stories. Many thanks.

:13:51. > :13:53.Stay with us because at the top of the hour, we will have much more

:13:54. > :13:57.from Turkey where there have been protests following the country's

:13:58. > :14:15.worst ever mining disaster. But now, time for Sportsday.

:14:16. > :14:20.Welcome to Sportsday. Here are the headlines: Rotherham are off to

:14:21. > :14:26.Wembley for the league one play`off final. The world number one awaits

:14:27. > :14:27.Andy Murray. He sets up an Italian
