:00:17. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to the look at what the papers are ringing us

:00:24. > :00:26.tomorrow. I have Penny Smith and Sarah Connor, economics

:00:27. > :00:33.correspondent for the FT. Good evening. Let's have a look through

:00:34. > :00:39.the front pages. The Independent of the BBC has lost in snake. `` highly

:00:40. > :00:43.sensitive information relating to a military unit. Habibie says `` BBC

:00:44. > :00:46.says it would not military unit. Habibie says `` BBC

:00:47. > :00:51.says it be appropriate to comment. Pension incomes are rising and match

:00:52. > :00:54.the average salary of workers. The Telegraph reports on a claim elderly

:00:55. > :01:00.people are denied lifesaving operations because of age to scrim

:01:01. > :01:05.the NHS. That Mirror reports a British jihadist who went to Syria

:01:06. > :01:09.has triggered a teacher of bombs. The Guardian says cancer care in the

:01:10. > :01:14.NHS could be privatised. The FT says government curbs and skilled

:01:15. > :01:20.migrants have shrunk the pool of international talent available to

:01:21. > :01:23.rigid businesses. The mail reports on the dossier of allegations are

:01:24. > :01:29.that a paedophile network at Westminster nearly 30 years ago. The

:01:30. > :01:33.Times says Angela Merkel's party has backed David Cameron 's opposition

:01:34. > :01:40.to EU rules, meaning benefits paid to migrant children who live

:01:41. > :01:50.abroad. A real mix of stories. Let's start with the i. They report on the

:01:51. > :01:55.earning gaps hitting ?200,000. Depending on what education you have

:01:56. > :02:03.got, depends on how much you own. Are we surprised? Not really. Is it

:02:04. > :02:06.getting bigger? It says that privately educated children don't on

:02:07. > :02:12.average 38% more per year and the call is for access for poor people

:02:13. > :02:15.to education. We remember Alan Bennett, the playwright, saying that

:02:16. > :02:22.it is essentially unfettered have people who either, with money or are

:02:23. > :02:28.prepared to save and scrimp and send their children to privately educated

:02:29. > :02:32.schools, it is unfair and unchristian and they should start

:02:33. > :02:37.merging from the top down, and if you look at this, you think, I

:02:38. > :02:44.suppose there are people who would say he has a point. `` unfair. You

:02:45. > :02:49.have very academic, talented pupils going to not so great schools are

:02:50. > :02:54.not getting the opportunities. As a country on a whole, we lose out. It

:02:55. > :03:01.is the social mobility question you have to worry about. The term is

:03:02. > :03:04.opportunity hoarding. Rich parents have the wherewithal to forward

:03:05. > :03:08.opportunities for their children, whether or not they deserve them

:03:09. > :03:13.intellectually. You might have a not very bright rich boy who then gets

:03:14. > :03:16.excellent private school, excellent tutors, he gets into Oxford or

:03:17. > :03:23.Cambridge and goes on to be an investment banker. In some way, that

:03:24. > :03:28.is stopping perfectly bright people who don't have those opportunities

:03:29. > :03:32.from moving further up the ladder. Every party claims to care about

:03:33. > :03:36.social mobility, so this will be a worry. The i says calls for poor

:03:37. > :03:42.people to access public schools, how can you do that? With things like

:03:43. > :03:48.mercenaries or people who are bright getting in. The point is about

:03:49. > :03:53.social mobility, we want everyone who has... 20? You want everyone to

:03:54. > :03:59.move up, not those who are just supremely gifted. It is bizarre. If

:04:00. > :04:02.you think there is a gap between private and state school educated

:04:03. > :04:06.people, you don't give more access to public schools, you improve the

:04:07. > :04:09.state schools, isn't that the more obvious solution? The cheapest

:04:10. > :04:15.option I suppose is what we should go for. Let's move on to the

:04:16. > :04:22.Financial Times. Here is the twist in the tail of the most hotly

:04:23. > :04:26.discussed topic leading up to the general election, migration. Visa

:04:27. > :04:29.curbs on highly skilled migrants hit the UK talent pool. If they all went

:04:30. > :04:35.to really good schools, we wouldn't need them. Problem solved, let's

:04:36. > :04:40.move on. This is a problem, isn't it? There are very skilled people

:04:41. > :04:46.out there who could come and work here, though they can't. I have to

:04:47. > :04:50.speak with businesses in my job a lot and this is a big complaint with

:04:51. > :04:53.the coalition government. They are happy with falling corporation tax,

:04:54. > :04:59.but the migration thing has been an issue for businesses. What kind of

:05:00. > :05:04.jobs are we talking about? Engineering, software, that sort of

:05:05. > :05:07.thing. This story is trying to dig through the figures and they have

:05:08. > :05:11.found that the number of talented migrants coming from outside Europe

:05:12. > :05:16.has dropped more than a third since the new, tougher visa rules came in.

:05:17. > :05:19.There has been a bit of an increase from highly skilled European

:05:20. > :05:25.migrants, so that hasn't made up for the gap. That is why businesses are

:05:26. > :05:29.crying out and saying, you are stymieing the ability we have to

:05:30. > :05:33.compete in the global markets. It gives the lie to David Cameron 's

:05:34. > :05:37.claim that he could both cast migration to the tens of thousands,

:05:38. > :05:39.while also keeping the best and the brightest. This research shows he is

:05:40. > :05:57.failing on both. can't be done. It dents this theory,

:05:58. > :05:59.if it stacks up, that migrants are taking British jobs for British

:06:00. > :06:09.people. gaps in the jobs market, they are

:06:10. > :06:14.not being filled by British people. On to the Guardian, Tony Blair is

:06:15. > :06:19.one of the lead stories. He is one of the lead stories. He has been

:06:20. > :06:24.offering advice to the Egyptian President, Abdul Fattah al`Sisi, and

:06:25. > :06:33.this is one of Tony Blair's guys is now, isn't it? One of his many

:06:34. > :06:36.roles. He has promised to deliver huge business opportunities to those

:06:37. > :06:42.involved, and that is what the Guardian has learned. The former PM

:06:43. > :06:49.is now Middle East envoy, isn't it? He has supported the coup against

:06:50. > :06:53.Mohammed Morsi, and he is going to give advice on economic reform in

:06:54. > :07:29.collaboration with a UAE financed coalition in Cairo,

:07:30. > :07:33.business activities are and what his peace envoy activities are. This

:07:34. > :07:38.seems to have fallen into a great... Is not just a peace envoy,

:07:39. > :07:41.is trying to bring stability and reforms, and that comes from

:07:42. > :07:47.economy. Money makes the world go around. The issue with we don't

:07:48. > :07:51.know, it is not entirely clear whether he is doing this with his

:07:52. > :08:00.trying to be good for the world hat on, or trying to be good for my

:08:01. > :08:04.business hat on. Maybe a little bit the Guardian was told that this is

:08:05. > :08:07.his backing for Egypt assessing support in the international

:08:08. > :08:15.community, which it doesn't have a lot of. Just above that story, a

:08:16. > :08:20.rather different picture on the front page of the Guardian. Andy

:08:21. > :08:27.Murray, after his defeat today. We have seen lots of pictures of the

:08:28. > :08:34.royal family. It is rather an unflattering photograph of the

:08:35. > :08:40.Duchess of Cambridge. Maybe it is a boy thing, and maybe you can both

:08:41. > :08:42.answer this. If I had just lost something and someone patted me on

:08:43. > :08:51.the chest like that, I really would feel quite aggrieved, and possibly

:08:52. > :08:55.quite angry. What is wrong with just a handshake? I know they are made,

:08:56. > :09:02.but even so, give him a hug, but don't pat him on the chest. And they

:09:03. > :09:08.see checking that his heart rate is OK! It is difficult to tell in this

:09:09. > :09:13.picture, because it is a snapshot, but he looks quite surprised by the

:09:14. > :09:20.tap on the chest. He has his hand around his back, as well. What would

:09:21. > :09:26.you feel like few pages lost a match? The first British man, 77

:09:27. > :09:33.years, he waited a long time, he is out. He says he was outplayed, so he

:09:34. > :09:41.hears. His mate comes over and goes, sorry about that, tap. I don't know,

:09:42. > :09:47.how would you feel about that? I have always lost tennis so I don't

:09:48. > :09:53.know the foot dragging moment. I know the foot dragging moment. I

:09:54. > :09:58.thought this guy was a young gun, he was 23, and this was the new

:09:59. > :10:05.generation coming through. Apparently he is a late developer,

:10:06. > :10:10.23 is quite old. Let's move on to the Daily Express, and pensioners

:10:11. > :10:18.make it onto the front page. Right, we don't have that one, actually.

:10:19. > :10:25.This is pay`outs of up to ?884 per year, and there seems to be less of

:10:26. > :10:29.a gap between those working for a salary and those who are looking

:10:30. > :10:33.forward to retirement. It is also about the fact they are having to

:10:34. > :10:37.work longer. Our pensioners but they are actually working pensioners,

:10:38. > :10:42.that is how they make a bit more income. You think this is part`time

:10:43. > :10:50.work, is this pension is continuing to work the longer? I don't know. Is

:10:51. > :10:53.a there has been a huge increase in self`employment since the crisis,

:10:54. > :10:58.and about 4/5 of that has been people over 50, and a lot of those

:10:59. > :11:02.over 65. People working for themselves, dropping their hours,

:11:03. > :11:06.keeping control of it, but keeping their hand in and making some extra

:11:07. > :11:19.money to top up their pension. Nothing wrong with that! The Daily

:11:20. > :11:25.Telegraph, Rowan Williams turns to border. To Niger this, Rowan

:11:26. > :11:37.Williams has said he spends 40 minutes a day squatting and... It is

:11:38. > :11:43.embracing all beliefs, isn't it? We are a multicultural world, and there

:11:44. > :11:47.are many benefits. Have you ever tried it? I have done yoga for a

:11:48. > :11:51.long time, and I suppose that is sort of a similar thing, we

:11:52. > :11:55.concentrate on trying to clear your mind, and sometimes it doesn't work

:11:56. > :12:00.and you are thinking about whether you have remembered to defrost the

:12:01. > :12:06.chicken. Often you can zone out. It is at mindfulness of things. He

:12:07. > :12:12.describes it as a religious experience, doesn't it? It is a time

:12:13. > :12:19.when you are aware of your body as a place where things happen, and

:12:20. > :12:26.therefore, God happens. I have never tried it, but it is becoming very

:12:27. > :12:29.trendy, meditation. Lots of CEOs and business executives are getting into

:12:30. > :12:34.it and claiming it can really help make you more productive during the

:12:35. > :12:41.day. I don't know if that is actually the spirit of it. Why not?

:12:42. > :12:44.I don't know if it is quite taken off in the world of journalism. I've

:12:45. > :12:48.never seen anyone do it in the newsroom. You would have to find a

:12:49. > :12:54.quiet spot. Which would be difficult around here. You would have to find,

:12:55. > :12:58.I don't know... There is a very sweaty form of yoga where it is lots

:12:59. > :13:07.of people in a very hot room. Bikram Yoga? Hole you don't want that, that

:13:08. > :13:10.is horrible. The idea of people throwing themselves into a warrior

:13:11. > :13:17.pose in that part of sweat going across the room. Thanks to leaving

:13:18. > :13:25.us with more in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow, Rowan Williams turns to

:13:26. > :13:31.border. Penny Smith and Sarah Connor will be back soon, stay with us. On

:13:32. > :13:36.midnight we will have the latest on increased purity measures being

:13:37. > :13:40.brought in at UK airports. Now, it is time for World Cup Sportsday.
