:00:00. > :00:00.succeeding Tim Sherwood. It will also tell you how Andy Murray got on

:00:00. > :00:15.in the French Open. That is all in Sportsday in 15 minutes.

:00:16. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:21. > :00:23.us tomorrow. With me are psychotherapist and writer Philippa

:00:24. > :00:29.Perry and Simon Watkins from the Mail on Sunday. Pretty much all the

:00:30. > :00:32.front pages are in. The Financial Times carries a warning from the

:00:33. > :00:37.head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, that delays to banking reforms risk

:00:38. > :00:40.destabilising the global economy. An Egyptian soldier is pictured

:00:41. > :00:44.guarding a polling station on the front of the Independent. But it

:00:45. > :00:47.leads on what it calls the "botched coup against Clegg."

:00:48. > :00:51.The Metro has more detail from Rolf Harris's court case. Mr Harris and

:00:52. > :00:55.his daughter Bindi are also pictured on the front of The Daily Express.

:00:56. > :01:00.But it headlines that ?30 million pounds a year of child benefits is

:01:01. > :01:03.sent abroad. The Daily Telegraph reports on new

:01:04. > :01:06.guidance that a third of the population should be sent to state`

:01:07. > :01:10.funded slimming classes. That story is also on the front of

:01:11. > :01:13.the Daily Mail. And finally The Guardian reports on

:01:14. > :01:24.the rising tide of race prejudice across Britain. We are going to

:01:25. > :01:30.start with a story about wanting from the paper to David Cameron we

:01:31. > :01:34.are seeing red. By the ago, we do paper told you, the Prime Minister

:01:35. > :01:38.that EU immigration must be curbed after boat is devastating verdict.

:01:39. > :01:45.Now it is time to get your finger out. I hope that the main parties

:01:46. > :01:51.don't capitulate to this sort of pressure, actually. But it sounds

:01:52. > :01:54.like Cameron is capitulating with his two big, too bossy, to

:01:55. > :01:59.interfering. It sounds a little bit like a toddler. I feel like it is

:02:00. > :02:09.too much like UKIP rhetoric to meet rather than anything else. It is so

:02:10. > :02:15.simplistic. When we are in a sticky situation, financially. When we are

:02:16. > :02:21.suffering austerities to get, let's run away from Europe, let's blame

:02:22. > :02:29.the immigrants, blame the EU. When actually, rather than finding things

:02:30. > :02:34.to project our fear and blame onto, we should be thinking about how to

:02:35. > :02:40.make more jobs. Growth is a big issue but the fact is what can

:02:41. > :02:51.actually David Cameron do about immigration? It is fundamental to

:02:52. > :02:54.the whole European market, capital and business and with that comes

:02:55. > :02:57.free movement of people. Some of them have gone out of the country

:02:58. > :03:04.and are still claiming their benefits. We will discuss that later

:03:05. > :03:08.on. We forget that, deadly? Just as immigrants can come here, we can go

:03:09. > :03:15.over there. There are many thousands of Britons abroad. There is very

:03:16. > :03:17.little you can do about this. This has been the problem he has put

:03:18. > :03:22.himself in. He has been making pledges are the immigration when a

:03:23. > :03:32.fundamental part of it is simply out of his control. Just as another

:03:33. > :03:41.point from the business community, the regard the EU is extremely

:03:42. > :03:43.beneficial. They regarded as being... Bringing skills in. The

:03:44. > :03:48.idea that it is automatically a negative economy is to say the

:03:49. > :03:55.least, arguable. But Villa Park, UKIP have moved attack on this. They

:03:56. > :04:00.are ignoring the economic argument because all the data seems to

:04:01. > :04:03.suggest that migrants actually help the economy. What you can's argument

:04:04. > :04:04.seems to be now is what it does on another level and that is social

:04:05. > :04:10.cohesion. It is causing problems for cohesion. It is

:04:11. > :04:13.local councils are having to do with 150 languages in a school for

:04:14. > :04:16.instance. That is you can's argument. Does that have any

:04:17. > :04:26.residents for the majority of people? What UKIP is doing is up

:04:27. > :04:33.fear. Fear is an emotion that grabs you and they are sort of stirring it

:04:34. > :04:36.up and then using it to say, I am making is very frightened but then

:04:37. > :04:40.vote for us and then you won't have to be frightened any longer. It is

:04:41. > :04:46.just fear mongering. We are giving so much attention to UKIP and it

:04:47. > :04:53.feeds our addiction to fear as well. We like the drama of it. There's not

:04:54. > :04:59.that much that is happening compared to the fuss we are making about it.

:05:00. > :05:03.The Greens increased their seats by 50% in the EU and I don't see all

:05:04. > :05:11.the headlines being about that. UKIP is just sort of a story worthy

:05:12. > :05:17.because they do seem like, not a very serious party. That of very

:05:18. > :05:23.Brussels are leaving tonight, Brussels are leaving tonight,

:05:24. > :05:30.meeting tonight. The fact is, some of these parties, they have made

:05:31. > :05:36.inroads but they are not wiping the floor with the rest of the European

:05:37. > :05:41.parties and the pro`European parties are still very much in the

:05:42. > :05:50.ascendant. One of the interesting things about the European elections

:05:51. > :05:54.in the UK, is that turnout was about 36%. I think very roughly, UKIP

:05:55. > :05:57.vote, which one would have thought if you're a UKIP supporter, this is

:05:58. > :06:03.the one election you would turn out for. They would have had a better

:06:04. > :06:06.can then other parties. And they got about 25% of the vote. That

:06:07. > :06:15.represents something like 10% of the British population. They voted UKIP.

:06:16. > :06:19.There is a risk that we get a bit of proportion the idea that there has

:06:20. > :06:23.been a sleeping UKIP vote across the UK. It has been dramatic in lots of

:06:24. > :06:29.ways. I think we are more addicted to the drama of it and it actually

:06:30. > :06:34.being that significant. Interesting. You could did not do very well in

:06:35. > :06:38.London. Indeed. It is interesting that point about the fear of

:06:39. > :06:42.something other and actually, oddly, London is where will one can see the

:06:43. > :06:46.melting pot that is modern Britain more than anywhere else. The

:06:47. > :06:54.syllabus performances of UKIP have been in part of the country where,

:06:55. > :06:57.you do not see immigration, it be that melting pot. Those other parts

:06:58. > :07:04.of the country that have done very well for UKIP. Very interesting. The

:07:05. > :07:12.front of the times, Lib Dems consumed by infighting. Nick Clegg,

:07:13. > :07:18.the party to put out very swiftly a refutation of the suggestion that he

:07:19. > :07:21.was willing to stand down. This is going to sound like a taking a cheap

:07:22. > :07:26.shot but I am not. I think that surely, he considered standing

:07:27. > :07:32.down. It would be inconceivable if he didn't. The idea that it never

:07:33. > :07:37.crossed his mind I find incredible. But what I think is intriguing about

:07:38. > :07:41.this and we talked earlier about the poll that was done by Lord block

:07:42. > :07:46.shot which has caused some rows inside the Lib Dems. It was seen as

:07:47. > :07:51.destabilising Nick Clegg. And here we have Lady Williams saying that

:07:52. > :07:55.she felt she believed he had considered resigning. This feels

:07:56. > :07:58.like the beginning of a kind of rot. What is this kind of thing begins in

:07:59. > :08:02.a political party, it is very hard to stop it. There a danger for the

:08:03. > :08:06.Lib Dems that becomes self fulfilling that the row just builds

:08:07. > :08:12.because how you come something like this down. And it seems a relevant

:08:13. > :08:15.that leading Williams had actually misinterpreted remarks that Nick

:08:16. > :08:19.Clegg made which was that he would stand down if he felt he was hurting

:08:20. > :08:25.the party. And he said he does not think he is so he didn't say he

:08:26. > :08:30.would stand down. She misinterpreted what he said. But that doesn't

:08:31. > :08:35.matter. No. It was that the bulk of the Lib Dems that if it did got his

:08:36. > :08:46.mind, it would be extraordinary. One would be rather shocked. Is it

:08:47. > :08:54.really all about the leader? Is that about changing your mind on tuition

:08:55. > :08:57.fees? Is it about being with the left party before the election and

:08:58. > :09:05.then moving the other weight. That was his big mistake. In the

:09:06. > :09:11.cartoons, he has been shown up as being under Cameron's farm. That has

:09:12. > :09:14.made him a bit of a laughing stock. Whether he is or not, I do not know

:09:15. > :09:20.but that is how he is portrayed so of it in the media. And through

:09:21. > :09:29.satirical magazines and what have you. Whereas, Vince cable is shown

:09:30. > :09:32.as standing up to David Cameron. But he is the underdog at the moment,

:09:33. > :09:37.even though he is the leader so that will make him popular again with the

:09:38. > :09:44.British public. OK. Let's stay with the Daily Mail. Weight Watchers free

:09:45. > :09:49.on the NHS. GPs to prescribe slimming courses for obese patients.

:09:50. > :09:53.The trouble is with how we have got used to thinking about medicine and

:09:54. > :09:58.the NHS is that we tend to think that is a magic will, a pill for

:09:59. > :10:05.everything. We don't think we have to actually do any work or any

:10:06. > :10:08.preventive managed `` measures to maintain our health. We have a

:10:09. > :10:12.passive idea of it may be because we have had 50 years of the NHS that

:10:13. > :10:18.has been looking after so well that we have got very passive any idea of

:10:19. > :10:23.our health. Actually, people eat too much, maybe I am speaking for myself

:10:24. > :10:28.but on the whole, people eat too much in order to soothe themselves.

:10:29. > :10:33.To make up for a lack of contact with other people in their lives. If

:10:34. > :10:37.you feel you have avoided, it is quite nice just to stuff it with

:10:38. > :10:41.food. The good thing about the group like Weight Watchers is that it

:10:42. > :10:46.gives you contact, it gives you support and so you are far more

:10:47. > :10:52.likely to lose weight if you do join such a group. I hope my GP

:10:53. > :10:57.prescribes it for me because I think it would be alien. So you think it

:10:58. > :11:01.is a good idea? It should be on the NHS was yellow it should be on the

:11:02. > :11:06.NHS. It is so much better than waiting for someone to be ill then

:11:07. > :11:13.you have to medicalise. This is way of preventing complications that

:11:14. > :11:17.arise due to being overweight. Should the British taxpayer, through

:11:18. > :11:24.the NHS, be paying for people who are too busy stuffing cakes and

:11:25. > :11:30.biscuits and what ever or have some kind of weight problem? I am

:11:31. > :11:36.probably with Philip on this. We have got weight, health in this

:11:37. > :11:42.country. We should regard this as a health problem and not something

:11:43. > :11:45.that, it is just people 's fault. I think it is reasonable for NHS money

:11:46. > :11:50.to be spent trying to address that. In the long run, it will save NHS

:11:51. > :11:53.money. If we can adjust the agree to which we have an obesity problem, it

:11:54. > :11:57.will save money for the NHS and the like. Whether Weight Watchers is the

:11:58. > :12:01.perfect solution I do not know. I do not know enough about how effective

:12:02. > :12:09.it is. I have to say, I googled this issue just before we came on. There

:12:10. > :12:13.were some research that was quite positive about Weight Watchers being

:12:14. > :12:17.effective. Not something to dismiss, I think. It is actually very good

:12:18. > :12:21.fear health. If you have regular contact with a group of people, it

:12:22. > :12:26.does boost your immune system. Even if you don't lose weight and cause

:12:27. > :12:29.you may be have no control over your appetite or something, it might

:12:30. > :12:35.still be beneficial. I wish there was more of these health groups,

:12:36. > :12:42.smoking group, an anger management group that are also paid for by the

:12:43. > :12:45.state because I feel as though they would save us money in the long run

:12:46. > :12:54.and make for a happier population. Very interesting. It go to the

:12:55. > :12:58.Guardian. Capitalism is doomed. If ethics vanish say Mark Carney

:12:59. > :13:07.Stockley this is part of a conference taking place with many of

:13:08. > :13:16.the financial sector including Mike on `` Mark Carney. The headline is

:13:17. > :13:22.quite personal. I think a lot of the pushback was coming from the

:13:23. > :13:25.financial services industry. Against regulatory change. A lot of people

:13:26. > :13:34.in the world regard regular treat pressure as something that is

:13:35. > :13:36.anticapitalist when in actual fact, capitalism needs to be saved from

:13:37. > :13:38.itself in some circumstances by having some revelatory pressures

:13:39. > :13:58.placed on it. If it is to survive. to you? It makes a lot of sense to

:13:59. > :14:04.me. We all need regulating, actually. If I can get away with

:14:05. > :14:07.parking on a double yellow line because the wardens never go there,

:14:08. > :14:14.I will do it because I am corruptible. I won't see the double

:14:15. > :14:18.yellow lines and think, oh, I mustn't park that even though the

:14:19. > :14:23.wardens never come here. I will park there. And, I don't think it is any

:14:24. > :14:27.different if you are a banker and you can get away with stuff that

:14:28. > :14:30.benefits you, you will do it if no one taps you on the shoulder. If

:14:31. > :14:39.someone taps you on the shoulder, if the warden is there, we will have

:14:40. > :14:43.proper regulation. We are all susceptible to being corrupted. I

:14:44. > :14:48.don't think bankers or capitalist are any different. We need this

:14:49. > :14:54.regulation and we needed it five years ago. I think a lot of people

:14:55. > :14:57.will be surprised that five years on after the crash, the kind of

:14:58. > :15:00.regulation or the kind of smart regulation people have been calling

:15:01. > :15:07.for, it doesn't seem to have been implemented. We go to the Guardian.

:15:08. > :15:16.The front page. Google is launching smart watches. We are still in the

:15:17. > :15:23.middle of this technological revolution. We have only just

:15:24. > :15:27.started. Indeed. That is where these tech companies are going. Bringing

:15:28. > :15:33.technology more integrated into your life in some way. I am still amazed

:15:34. > :15:40.by the revolution we have had with touchscreen up and tablets. I think

:15:41. > :15:43.they have been a substantial shift. Bringing them into glasses and

:15:44. > :15:52.watches, it is clearly the next step. I have not tried the glasses,

:15:53. > :16:00.I believe you had they made a lot of sense. Luna the guy who lent them to

:16:01. > :16:08.me had to wrestle them from me. `` the guy. Someone told me that people

:16:09. > :16:16.don't like to wear stuff. That's right. Since we have got the phones,

:16:17. > :16:21.we have ditched the watch. We run out of time. Simon and Philip, it

:16:22. > :16:27.has been great having you, many thanks. `` we have run out of time.

:16:28. > :16:31.At the top of the hour we have more of the meeting of the European

:16:32. > :16:33.leaders in Brussels to work out how best to deal with UKIP and the like.

:16:34. > :16:50.Now, it is time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday with

:16:51. > :16:52.me, Will Perry. The headlines tonight: Scotland's friendly against

:16:53. > :16:57.Nigeria tomorrow is highlighted for potential match fixing.

:16:58. > :16:58.Mouricio Pottechetino leaves Southampton to become the new

:16:59. > :16:59.Tottenham
