31/05/2014 The Papers

freed after five years. Coming up, a report on Niger's child

brides. Hello and welcome to our look

ahead to what the the papers With me are Nigel Nelson,

Political Editor of the The Sunday People, and the stand`up

comedian Romesh Ranganathan. Let's have a look

at tomorrow's front pages. The Observer says

the Labour leader Ed Miliband is facing a backbench revolt over his

immigration policy `` his critics warn that unless he gets tougher he

risks losing working class voters The Independent

on Sunday features the campaign for justice for two Indian girls

who were raped and murdere. The paper also reports that

a study here shows that death rates in NHS hospitals significantly

increase at the weekends. The Sunday Times alleges it has

evidence which shows that the World Cup should not have been

awarded to Qatar in 2022. While the Sun on Sunday reports that

police are investigating allegations of match`fixing ahead of the

World Cup in Brazil. The Sunday Telegraph's lead is that

there will be a radical reform of workplace pensions announced

in this week's Queen's Speech. Observer. It's about a woman who was

brought up a Christian and refuse to take up Islam. This is great news.

It looks fairly clear that this was international pressure that maybe

Sudanese change their mind. David Cameron, world leaders, they leapt

on these things when they happen, but nothing really happens in

between. We should be thinking more about Western leaders understanding

Islam better to stop these things happening in the first place. It is

still pretty disgraceful that she was giving a death sentence, but

without us knowing about it and the international condemnation, she

would not have in freed. The death sentence is part of the whole

sentence which included a hundred lashes, which no one will survive.

It is a strange setup. They seem to be one and the same. What is

incredible is that she was sentenced to death for refusing to renounce

her Christian beliefs. If you are in a situation where you have children,

you would say anything to get out of, you would renounce anything to

get out of eight death sentence. It's an incredible thing that she

think so much about her beliefs. It is difficult to know whether this

would have gone away straightaway. It is quite often a situation where

women in Sudan to renounce their faith. It brings to question, how

often does this go on? Exactly. We should not be intervening when there

is a crisis. One of the things Tony Blair constantly says is we try and

solve things with politics and religion is often at the heart of

it. The Sudanese government are saying this is not a change in

attitude, it is part of the judicial process that will lead to her being

released. They can say that, but this has become a worldwide issue

and everyone is up in arms. They can say that because they don't want to

be seen to be taking a step back from their position. It is difficult

because it is interesting seeing the response in this country where we

are in a current climate of people feeling distrustful of Islam because

of various arguments and issues and to see a story like this take

prominence, it is quite worrying when you see the reaction. If you

look on social network, people are saying they are worried about Islam

because of things like this happening. It comes from a lack of

understanding. This is about an interpretation of the religion. That

the point I was trying to make about understanding. There needs to be

more dialogue. Absolutely, otherwise you just get a story like this.

Without an understanding, you can see why people jump to that

conclusion. There has been no understanding or context. I hope

that this is a springboard for people to set up a dialogue and

increase their understanding because it is dangerous. People could

develop ideas that are not true. Let us stay with the Observer. Miliband

was get tough on EU migrants, demand MPs. This is of the back of the

recent elections, which were not particularly edifying for any of the

main parties. These are seven MPs who have written an open letter to

the Observer. They are talking about restricting migration from the EU.

By doing that, we need to renegotiate our terms of entry,

which David Cameron is trying to do for the 2017 referendum. Two of the

MPs, who have written to the Observer, they are on the

Eurosceptic wing of the Labour Party. Immigration is the subject

that MPs say people care most about. Elliptical leaders cannot walk away

from it. `` political leaders cannot walk away from it and one of the

reasons for UKIP's successes because they were prepared to talk about it.

It is something the main political leaders have not tackled and that

has been the driving force behind UKIP gaining popularity because they

are talking about something the general public think should have

been talked about. It is difficult to talk about immigration without

sounding like a racist and that is why people are nervous about talking

about it. You can imagine saying one phrase that is slightly out of turn

and then every paper will be on it and everyone will be on it. This is

a reaction to the fact that UKIP have tackled an issue and are happy

to talk about something that the other leaders are scared to talk

about, or have been scared to talk about. They are trying to take some

of the impetus and say, we are dealing with it as well. Pressure on

the Labour Party to promise a referendum. There is pressure on

them, and maybe they will get it. What Ed Miliband has two work out is

if he promises a referendum, will that neutralise Europe as an issue

at the general election. Once he has decided that, we will know where we

are. We will know by the party conference whether that is so. If

you are going to deal with European migration specifically, the only way

to do that is to deal with Europe. Radical pension reforms in the

Sunday Telegraph. Workers will be able to invest in a mega fun that

could boost savings. This is a shake`up of workplace pensions that

haven't been in place that long and they are already being shook up. We

are moving towards a Dutch like megaphones. I am on board with that

because I like the sound of it. `` mega fund. The idea is you put the

money in a massive part in it reduces the cost because you are

dealing with it on such a large scale. It sounds good, and also,

they have used mega fund repeatedly in the article. They have also said

it gives pensioners and increased freedom to spend their savings in

the way they want. Giving pensioners a chance to go on a massive splurge

has to be celebrated. The suggestion in this article is that it will take

the pressure off some of the parties, or did you leave the

coalition who have had it rough. Pensions are a major problem. We did

not address the difficulties of an ageing population early enough and

now they are paying the price. The idea is that if you have got one of

these megaphones that we are so fond of now, you can cut the

administration cost down. If you are looking at the same amount of money

we put into a pension here and the amount someone in Holland is putting

in, they will get a 30% better return than we do and that is purely

by cutting down the administration costs. The pension industry is not

enthusiastic about this, but hopefully they will. The one thing I

do understand is that this is supposed to be the reforms whereby

they are trying to claw back some popularity. But immigration is the

issue everyone is talking about. I can't imagine someone sitting back

and saying, they are working on pension reforms. Great. It's not a

solution. People are talking about immigration and this does not feel

as if it is something people want. Lets have a look at the Sunday

Times. Craig is at a record low. He is the least popular leader in

recent history. I think part of the problem is his body language. He

does not carry himself as if he is organised. He needs to throw his

shoulders back and really go for it. He looks like a sky who got a dodgy

sandwich at lunch time and he is upset about it. `` looks like a sky.

But there are rumblings in the party. People have said he needs to

go. Bay are upset. There was a goblin, obviously, but the first

past the post will save him. The wipe`out came under the proportional

representation system. Back to the Sunday Telegraph. What a to`do about

how do we do. The English are unsure of what to do when greeting each

other because of the decline of the phrase, how do you do? If you say to

someone, how do you do? You don't really want to know. If you said

that to me, and you didn't... I'm sorry about that. Cape Fox says we

should into juice it again. `` Kate Fox. She has a point. You don't know

when you are greeting someone whether to go for a handshake or a

Hogg or one case or two. It is a horrible situation. I have had

relationships ruined before they have even started.

do, you are not supposed to respond. In the next hour come up with a

decent response. That is the papers macro `` that was The Papers. Coming

up next, more on the race in which three people were killed in the

Scottish Borders. Welcome to Reporters. From here, in

the world's newsroom, we send out reporters across the
