04/06/2014 The Papers

for action for the Commonwealth Games. Will Bristol play in rugby

union 's premiership next year? All that after the papers.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. With me are the Political Commentator Lance

Price and Tony Grew who's Parliamentary Editor at Politics

Home.. The FT's top story is on Tesco's

dismal trading results. The Chief Executive of the company said they

were the worst he'd seen in his 40 year career.The Express claims that

a healthy lifestyle is the key to beating dementia. The Independent's

main picture is of Hong Kong's defiant stance against China's

Tiananmen Square blackout with crowds holding a candle lit vigil.

The Telegraph leads with the death of a baby, reportedly from a

contaminated batch of intravenous medication. The picture story is of

the Queen's page boy who collapsed during her speech.That's also the

picture story in the Guardian. The top headline is about protests over

a secret terror trail which the paper says would threaten open

justice. picture story in the Guardian. The

top headline is about protests And that's also the top story in the

Mail which says that its the first time in British history that a trial

has been held entirely in secret.And the Mirror has a picture of the UKIP

leader, Nigel Farage with a female companion in Malta. The Times says

that the PM is struggling to contain the fallout from a row between two

of his cabinet ministers, Michael Gove and Theresa May over Islamic

extremism in schools. So let's begin. The Guardian covers

the Queen's Speech with more of a photograph and detailed coverage of

the contents. There is a reference to the bully on the right. That is

the headline. Hadn't it been for the lad who collapsed, a pageboy,

perhaps the speech wouldn't have made it on the front pages because

there wasn't a great deal of news in it. We knew all of the details of

the bills that were there. We saw this unfortunate situation, where

Her Majesty remained remarkably calm when there was a little bit of a

scene going on to the site. You were there. He hit the ground and it made

a significant noise. Everyone was trying to work out what was going

on. The Queen didn't miss a beat. When you look at this picture, it

leads you to ask questions about this. As the Queen is on the throne,

things remain as they are. You have to ask yourself why it is the pages

of honour to the Queen are members of the aristocracy and why we have a

12`year`old discount doing this when it could be just as easy for the

Royal family to encourage local children to take on this honour of

carrying the monarch's parliamentary road as they process through

Parliament ``viscount. I speak as a traditionalist, as someone who loves

the pomp and ceremony. Prince Charles attended today as you can

see from the photo. Camilla attended for the second time. In some senses,

the Royal family is preparing the next generation to take over, not

that Her Majesty is planning to abdicate as far as we can tell.

There are interesting changes put to be made. During the Second World

War, The King open parliament in military uniform. In 1974, without

time to organise the state parliament, the Queen turned up in a

car and in a normal dress without this. There are questions to be

asked. I would miss the pomp and circumflex starts. People like it,

don't they? It is a reminder. I don't know what these people do for

the rest of the year. They come and dress up nicely for the cameras. It

is a weird mixture of modern politics and old tradition. It is

the Queen who is stuck in the middle. She has to read a speech

written by politicians full of slogans about working hard for

hard`working people and the rest of it. It doesn't fit the image. Some

of the contents of the speech. The Daily Mail, MPs are weakened. This

is in theory giving people the chance to get rid of someone who has

misbehaves. Those who want their say it does not go far enough. Obviously

the Daily Mail is upset. Let's look at the detail. The government have

had this well. It is something the coalition pledged. In the

circumstances of which an MP is convicted of any offence, not an

offence that... The law says if you are an MP and you are convicted of

an offence for which the sentence is more than 12 months, you lose your

seat automatically. This says that if you are convicted of any offence

there is a recall mechanism where 7000 people signed a petition which

can trigger a by`election. The other circumstance in which they can

happen is if the House of Commons set up a standards committee and

they can decide that if someone who has behaved in a way that is a way

that isn't criminal... (CROSSTALK) a committee of those inside the system

will make that the `` decision. They will automatically be a recall and

by`election. If you think about that, you will see how widely open

to abuse that is. If you are an MP and you win an election with a small

majority. All your opponent needs to do is get 7000 signatures and they

can trigger a by`election. It leaves MPs vulnerable. In Northern

Ireland, the idea is farcical that you could bring something like that

in with divided politics. The balance the government has struck I

am impressed with. I think it is problematic. MPs are judge and jury

in their own trials. We have seen MPs, including Maria Miller, Culture

Secretary pictured, appears to have been left off the hook by the

standards committee and by fellow MPs. That has generated anger in the

public and has led to this disconnect between the majority of

voters and their traditions of Parliament and the way in which

parliamentary democracy is exercised. The truth is that these

plans aren't ever to be put into practice. It will never happen. It

won't happen because in the majority of cases the MPs will ensure it

doesn't get to that. If it did get to that point, where anger was

building up, the MP would resign anyway so it would not be a question

it would be a case of them being forced out through these press

reaches. `` besiegers. `` procedures. It doesn't do what the

reformers would like it to do and nor does it achieve anything

significant the Coalition would like them to achieve angry Cameron

rebukes. They are not seeing eye to eye. It is a rift that is

extraordinary. They should be briefing against one another in

private. They should be working together. A claim they are. Yet,

advisers are of the dart briefing one another at a remarkable level.

They are using extraordinary language against one another. From

the outside, it seems that Michael Gove is the fly in the ointment. He

is very ambitious. He thinks you have to upset people to make change

in society. He is frustrated the Home Office have not done enough to

tackle the problem. Theresa May, don't pick a fight with her, she

comes back fighting. Away from the soap opera discussions about this,

there are really important issues. That is to do with the way schools

were set up under the labour government academies and free

schools being controlled now. This is about extremism in school

environments that are concerning. There are answers for Michael Gove

to AMSA. And, questions about how schools are managed and controlled.

`` for Michael Gove to AMSA. They are given autonomy in the way they

run themselves. My gut feeling is that Mr Gove will come out worst.

Not because of his tussle with Theresa May. You can see why the PM

was furious to see the story. Completely unnecessary. Especially

when you want the Queen's Speech to be covered positively. We are

talking about the secret trial in the Daily Mail. Britain's first

secret trial behind closed doors. It is only thanks to a free press that

you know it is happening at all. It is the media fighting the battle

over regulation. If you don't have a free press who can do this, all

democratic traditions will be put under threat. It isn't just secret,

it is a secret trial that is secret. The fact that it was secret until

this media organisation took their own legal action to force it into

the open that it is happening. There are a lot of unanswered questions

about how the trial will take place. We don't know who the defendants are

or what the case against them is an nor do we know who was in the

authority to decide it was kept from the public ``and. Eye see the word

president, if that where you stand? No. We spoke earlier about this ``I

see. It was about football is trying to stop people finding out they were

having an affair. If security services thought it was obvious

level of importance they are aware of the extraordinary idea of asking

for a trial. I think that British have an idea of a justice system

that doesn't match up to what other people have. I remember when Diplock

was introduced in Northern Ireland and the security situation has

caused the legal system to be closed. I don't agree with that. I

don't have enough detail to know what the security services are

concerned about and that is why I can serve my judgement. Staying with

you and the Independent. It is revealed how private firms make

quick killing from PFI, the Private Finance initiative. This is a

hangover from the new Labour Party government. They saw the hospitals

were in a state and they had a dilemma about social services. What

they decided to do was get into bed with private companies and get them

to build the hospitals and lease them back from them. What we don't

see is smart multinational companies having negotiations. These companies

didn't build the schools or hospitals from altruism. They did it

because they thought they could make money. They have found another way

to make money. That is what companies do. I don't know why

people are surprised by this. PFI has been disastrous. As a taxpayer,

I would rather we build these hospitals and schools ourselves.

They have been doubling their money by flipping or selling on. They have

contracts that last 25 years for maintaining hospitals in schools

that they have built. Then they can sell them on. I was working for the

Labour Party, and Margaret Hodge, the chair of the Public Accounts

Committee who is complaining about it, admits it was a mistake.

Clearly, there was a mistake. The controversy about it at the time. No

one pointed out the company could then cash in, cash in the profits if

you like and sell it to another company. Margaret Hodge is right to

describe it as a scandal. Staying a thought from you, lamps.

Extraordinary photographs they carrying of those in Hong Kong. They

are marking the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, where people could

not do that ``Lance. Three cheers for the people of Hong Kong for

coming out in large numbers and it shows what a special place Hong Kong

is. The specialness of it has been retained since he became part of

China. Compare that with the coverage of the news channel and

elsewhere during the day of those people seeking, on mainland China,

to remember their loved ones or family members who were killed, it

is an extraordinary demonstration with so many people coming out of

the 25th anniversary. Amazing photograph, isn't it? It is a

striking image. I was a boy when the event happened but I can even recall

vividly those images. You talked about China and about how the

Chinese didn't want this to be commemorated in the way we want this

to be commemorated in a Western sense. However, China has changed so

much and open so much over the last 25 years, which is something that

gives me hope. For the hundreds of millions of Chinese people who see

small incremental changes in their country. We will end with the times.

You have the advantage of having this in front of you `` caddie

times. Office life loses appeal for highflyers.

office for a long time, and the appeal of office life... Are used to

work at the BBC, that was office life of a sort. We won't go into

details of that, but it seems that more and more people, senior

executives, are now working at home and finding it a much more

productive way in which to work. This theory idea that somehow if you

are working at home you are just skiving and taking the day off seems

to be disappearing a bit. It is a bit confused, because it says that

working from home has become the new business status symbol. Then it says

that one in seven people operate from home. Having the option to work

from home and operating from home are entirely different things, and

I'm not entirely sure which side is coming from. Operating from home is

very different from having the odd day where you say I am working from

home. We will leave it there. That is it for the Papers. Stay with us

on BBC News. The coalition's final agenda at midnight, the Queen sets

out new bills to sack misbehaving MPs, and an overhaul of pensions.

Coming up next, it is time for Sportsday.
