:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:20. > :00:22.With me are The Sun's Political Correspondent Craig Woodhouse and

:00:23. > :00:32.Migration is the main story in The Telegraph,

:00:33. > :00:35.which claims almost half the population believes a decade of mass

:00:36. > :00:38.migration has harmed the economy and undermined British culture.

:00:39. > :00:41.Fewer than one in five voters say they are benefiting

:00:42. > :00:45.from the improved economy, according to a poll in tomorrow's Guardian.

:00:46. > :00:53.The Metro says nurses are calling for intoxicated patients

:00:54. > :00:56.The search for Madeleine McCann is the main story

:00:57. > :00:59.in the Mirror, after a libel action by her parents against the police

:01:00. > :01:04.officer who initially led the search was postponed again today.

:01:05. > :01:07.The Express says the strengthening pound means Britons

:01:08. > :01:09.going abroad for their summer holidays will get

:01:10. > :01:15.And the Daily Mail says the government is planning to make

:01:16. > :01:18.sure school milk is offered to all pupils in primary and secondary

:01:19. > :01:31.We will start, gentlemen, with the Daily Telegraph. Politicians blamed

:01:32. > :01:37.for hostility to migrants, what's that about. We have been reading

:01:38. > :01:41.this and we don't really know how they are being blamed, if they are

:01:42. > :01:48.at all! Let's move on to the Guardian. Being accused of having

:01:49. > :01:54.ignored Bodo concerns on this, hence the rise of Ukip. Although we may

:01:55. > :01:59.need to read inside how the conclusion is being reached from the

:02:00. > :02:02.headline. The bit you mentioned at the top, half the population

:02:03. > :02:06.believes a decade of mass migration has harmed the economy and harmed

:02:07. > :02:11.British culture is at the heart of this. It is a dilemma for

:02:12. > :02:16.politicians because on the one hand, they have to appeal to win votes,

:02:17. > :02:19.but on the other hand, it is the new immigrant `based culture that are

:02:20. > :02:25.going to be voting for them in the future as they become all part of

:02:26. > :02:30.society. It comes to this as we see in the Guardian, immigration is a

:02:31. > :02:33.seriously hot topic in the minds of the voters, not just the

:02:34. > :02:42.commentators, as is often made out to be the case. Do you understand

:02:43. > :02:48.the story? I have the same question as Craig, how are the politicians to

:02:49. > :02:52.blame? Watching your news earlier today, the Archbishop of Canterbury

:02:53. > :03:01.today calling, after his meeting with the Pope, calling for more

:03:02. > :03:06.immigration into the UK, for humanitarian reasons, above all

:03:07. > :03:11.else. I suppose what effectively this is saying is that politicians

:03:12. > :03:20.have, of all parties, not explained to the British public is why there

:03:21. > :03:26.have been the levels of immigration and now they seem to skirt around

:03:27. > :03:34.the issue. Even today. There is a figure here, there are 2.5 million

:03:35. > :03:39.more foreign`born British residents and their work two years ago, 1

:03:40. > :03:45.million more from Poland and the seven countries that joined the EU

:03:46. > :03:50.in 2004. And restrictions on immigration affecting something

:03:51. > :03:57.close to my heart, higher education. And the unpopularity, the image of

:03:58. > :04:01.our country has suffered in some of the far Eastern countries. In many

:04:02. > :04:09.universities, foreign students are absolutely vital, wide, to pay the

:04:10. > :04:16.bills because we no longer have free and higher education `` why. This

:04:17. > :04:23.tour is about the liberal ruling class on the front of the Telegraph.

:04:24. > :04:29.`` this talks about. Suggesting it is good for the economy. Arguments

:04:30. > :04:34.that Nick Clegg put to Nigel Farage in those two famous debates and he

:04:35. > :04:41.was roundly beaten. Would that make people more forgiving of migrants

:04:42. > :04:46.coming here. It is difficult because if you try and do that, and a figure

:04:47. > :04:52.says that eight out of ten people want to control immigration. If you

:04:53. > :04:57.want to explain why immigration is a good thing, you can widen the divide

:04:58. > :05:01.because people think it is the metropolitan elite telling them what

:05:02. > :05:05.to think. I don't think it is good when Nick Clegg goes out there, a

:05:06. > :05:09.white man who went to a private school who sounds like the other

:05:10. > :05:17.politicians... And literally a liberal! And telling you why it is

:05:18. > :05:20.good for society. Very few people turn around and say what our

:05:21. > :05:38.generation has always fundamental do it. We go into

:05:39. > :05:43.the European Union after a referendum in the 1970s when free

:05:44. > :05:48.movement of people is fundamental and we end up where we are, with the

:05:49. > :05:52.issues we have. You work for the Sun, do you think that the red

:05:53. > :05:59.tops, the popular newspapers, many of their red Wing, `` right wing,

:06:00. > :06:05.are partly to blame? I don't know, we have reflected this for ages. It

:06:06. > :06:09.is the politicians who are to blame. You don't feed into that? I think we

:06:10. > :06:15.are the opposite, we reflect what people feel, every leader we write

:06:16. > :06:23.says that immigration is really good for the country but it is not

:06:24. > :06:27.controlled to the wrong places, without appropriate houses and

:06:28. > :06:33.things to assuage the fears, then it isn't. That is why we called on

:06:34. > :06:38.David Cameron to make the free movement of Europe is one of his red

:06:39. > :06:44.lines when he negotiates on the referendum. It is too easy to blame

:06:45. > :06:50.the press. I think Craig is absolutely right, the sun, among

:06:51. > :06:55.other papers, reflects what the public overwhelmingly think. This

:06:56. > :07:00.poll supports that. We shouldn't go on too much, but finally, should you

:07:01. > :07:03.be reflecting potentially, prejudices that the public have, or

:07:04. > :07:12.should you be trying to put an analysis of that? If the facts are

:07:13. > :07:17.that immigration, on the face of it, brings money into the country and

:07:18. > :07:22.gives people jobs and is good for the economy, do you reflect that

:07:23. > :07:26.enough? I think so, we are very positive about it but we are the

:07:27. > :07:32.vehicle for the readers, to speak truth and this is part of the job,

:07:33. > :07:37.truth has not been spoken to power. If it has, it has not been listened

:07:38. > :07:42.to. We speak truth to power here in the papers! The Guardian, the

:07:43. > :07:45.majority left behind in the recovery, fewer than one in five

:07:46. > :07:50.voters feel they are benefiting from the improved economy. Again, the

:07:51. > :08:01.broadsheets love an opinion poll. They do. Here we are in the

:08:02. > :08:07.Guardian. Effectively the larger `` effectively the majority accept that

:08:08. > :08:10.the recovery is real but just 18% feel that their families are

:08:11. > :08:16.benefiting which is bad news for David Cameron. The paper says that

:08:17. > :08:20.perhaps Ed Miliband, much maligned, has got it right with his emphasis

:08:21. > :08:27.on the cost of living. The question is, if the survey will be taken in

:08:28. > :08:35.April next year, will the figures be the same? Down below on the Guardian

:08:36. > :08:37.front page, one of their correspondence, Larry Elliott,

:08:38. > :08:42.speaking to people around the country to understand why the

:08:43. > :08:49.economy looks illusory to so many Britons. One of the themes, modern

:08:50. > :08:56.Britain can be easily divided, he says, into a comfortably off third

:08:57. > :08:59.at the top, a middle third, one paycheque away from financial

:09:00. > :09:04.trouble and one third at the bottom, struggling and failing to

:09:05. > :09:09.make ends meet. Would that Britain was quite so easy to explain and

:09:10. > :09:16.understand. This is the kind of analysis and Paul that David Axelrod

:09:17. > :09:20.is going to be homing in on. `` the kind of opinion poll. He is the

:09:21. > :09:25.Labour election guru, who they hope will turn around the situation. This

:09:26. > :09:29.is what he has to look at. Absolutely, for many in the Labour

:09:30. > :09:31.Party this will be a boost after a difficult couple of weeks. They will

:09:32. > :09:37.feel that their analysis of what was wrong is correct. The issue is

:09:38. > :09:42.whether they can put forward the answer to the issues. One thing they

:09:43. > :09:45.lack, trust on the economy at the moment. Every opinion poll shows

:09:46. > :09:50.that is the hurdle they have to get over. Another thing that I think

:09:51. > :09:55.people are concerned about, our generation, my generation has a

:09:56. > :10:03.conscience about this fact that we are children, our children are going

:10:04. > :10:08.to be worse off than we have been, according to this opinion poll as

:10:09. > :10:14.well. I think playing to that, and finding some answer to that from the

:10:15. > :10:22.politicians is very important. When Ed Miliband spoke about breaking the

:10:23. > :10:28.British promise, he has not found their way to fix it. Reporting

:10:29. > :10:39.possibly on talks between Iran and the US on Iraq. Metro newspaper,

:10:40. > :10:46.talking about a ban on drunk people in AMD. The Royal College of nursing

:10:47. > :10:50.meeting at the moment and one of their member says that getting drunk

:10:51. > :10:54.isn't an accident, it puts on a huge strain and these people should be

:10:55. > :10:57.left to dry out. I think many people in Whitehall would be very

:10:58. > :11:05.sympathetic but cannot say it out loud. Why not? Then you come into

:11:06. > :11:10.this whole thing about whether the NHS is for everybody and it only

:11:11. > :11:15.takes one tried to `` one drunk person to die and then it comes down

:11:16. > :11:19.on you. As a money`saving exercise, you hear it all the time, accident

:11:20. > :11:26.and emergency on the weekend is like a war zone. Having been to accident

:11:27. > :11:36.and emergency... I thought you were going to say you had been to a war

:11:37. > :11:38.zone! Anybody who has been to an accident and emergency department,

:11:39. > :11:45.late at night, Saturday night will have sympathy with this story. I

:11:46. > :11:54.suspect. Onto the Daily Express. A strong pound. Off on your horse... I

:11:55. > :11:59.wish I was. I would be a happy man. Some of us over the years have seen

:12:00. > :12:05.this going up and down. Generally it is a good time, particularly to go

:12:06. > :12:10.to the United States, if you can... Remember the surveys we've been

:12:11. > :12:16.talking about. If you can afford a foreign holiday at all. Going back

:12:17. > :12:21.to the Telegraph, because you do not have to go on holiday, it is going

:12:22. > :12:26.to be boiling hot. Drought for southern Britain. This is the story

:12:27. > :12:31.we feared was going to come, I am sure the hosepipe ban will be one

:12:32. > :12:42.step away. This is one of those things, a drought is officially

:12:43. > :12:45.defined as a period of 15 days with 0.2 millimetres of rain, it seems

:12:46. > :12:48.ridiculous we will have a drought after the rain we have had. It says

:12:49. > :12:51.the south`west is looking very dry. after the rain we have had. It says

:12:52. > :12:58.the south`west They will be crying hallelujah. If the ward has drained

:12:59. > :13:02.from their fields yet. Credit where credit is due, the Daily Express

:13:03. > :13:10.forecast this. It has got it right at last. They are often right.

:13:11. > :13:16.Sometimes. Analysing the front page they are often right. They will take

:13:17. > :13:25.the opposite position one day after the next, it is like a broken clock.

:13:26. > :13:30.All right. You will be back in about 15 minutes or so, slightly changed

:13:31. > :13:35.timings because of the World Cup `` 15 minutes. Stay with us, we will

:13:36. > :13:40.have much more on the situation in Iraq.

:13:41. > :13:59.Talking about the World Cup, it is time for Sportsday.

:14:00. > :14:07.The headlines tonight. Not even Ronaldo could help Portugal, they

:14:08. > :14:08.were thrashed 4`0 by Germany in their World Cup
