Hello and welcome to the look at what the papers are ringing us | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
tomorrow. I have Penny Smith and Sarah Connor, economics | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
correspondent for the FT. Good evening. Let's have a look through | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
the front pages. The Independent of the BBC has lost in snake. `` highly | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
sensitive information relating to a military unit. Habibie says `` BBC | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
says it would not military unit. Habibie says `` BBC | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
says it be appropriate to comment. Pension incomes are rising and match | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
the average salary of workers. The Telegraph reports on a claim elderly | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
people are denied lifesaving operations because of age to scrim | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
the NHS. That Mirror reports a British jihadist who went to Syria | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
has triggered a teacher of bombs. The Guardian says cancer care in the | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
NHS could be privatised. The FT says government curbs and skilled | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
migrants have shrunk the pool of international talent available to | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
rigid businesses. The mail reports on the dossier of allegations are | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
that a paedophile network at Westminster nearly 30 years ago. The | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Times says Angela Merkel's party has backed David Cameron 's opposition | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
to EU rules, meaning benefits paid to migrant children who live | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
abroad. A real mix of stories. Let's start with the i. They report on the | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
earning gaps hitting ?200,000. Depending on what education you have | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
got, depends on how much you own. Are we surprised? Not really. Is it | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
getting bigger? It says that privately educated children don't on | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
average 38% more per year and the call is for access for poor people | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
to education. We remember Alan Bennett, the playwright, saying that | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
it is essentially unfettered have people who either, with money or are | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
prepared to save and scrimp and send their children to privately educated | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
schools, it is unfair and unchristian and they should start | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
merging from the top down, and if you look at this, you think, I | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
suppose there are people who would say he has a point. `` unfair. You | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
have very academic, talented pupils going to not so great schools are | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
not getting the opportunities. As a country on a whole, we lose out. It | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
is the social mobility question you have to worry about. The term is | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
opportunity hoarding. Rich parents have the wherewithal to forward | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
opportunities for their children, whether or not they deserve them | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
intellectually. You might have a not very bright rich boy who then gets | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
excellent private school, excellent tutors, he gets into Oxford or | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Cambridge and goes on to be an investment banker. In some way, that | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
is stopping perfectly bright people who don't have those opportunities | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
from moving further up the ladder. Every party claims to care about | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
social mobility, so this will be a worry. The i says calls for poor | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
people to access public schools, how can you do that? With things like | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
mercenaries or people who are bright getting in. The point is about | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
social mobility, we want everyone who has... 20? You want everyone to | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
move up, not those who are just supremely gifted. It is bizarre. If | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
you think there is a gap between private and state school educated | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
people, you don't give more access to public schools, you improve the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
state schools, isn't that the more obvious solution? The cheapest | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
option I suppose is what we should go for. Let's move on to the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
Financial Times. Here is the twist in the tail of the most hotly | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
discussed topic leading up to the general election, migration. Visa | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
curbs on highly skilled migrants hit the UK talent pool. If they all went | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
to really good schools, we wouldn't need them. Problem solved, let's | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
move on. This is a problem, isn't it? There are very skilled people | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
out there who could come and work here, though they can't. I have to | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
speak with businesses in my job a lot and this is a big complaint with | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
the coalition government. They are happy with falling corporation tax, | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
but the migration thing has been an issue for businesses. What kind of | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
jobs are we talking about? Engineering, software, that sort of | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
thing. This story is trying to dig through the figures and they have | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
found that the number of talented migrants coming from outside Europe | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
has dropped more than a third since the new, tougher visa rules came in. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
There has been a bit of an increase from highly skilled European | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
migrants, so that hasn't made up for the gap. That is why businesses are | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
crying out and saying, you are stymieing the ability we have to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
compete in the global markets. It gives the lie to David Cameron 's | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
claim that he could both cast migration to the tens of thousands, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
while also keeping the best and the brightest. This research shows he is | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
failing on both. can't be done. It dents this theory, | :05:40. | :05:57. | |
if it stacks up, that migrants are taking British jobs for British | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
people. gaps in the jobs market, they are | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
not being filled by British people. On to the Guardian, Tony Blair is | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
one of the lead stories. He is one of the lead stories. He has been | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
offering advice to the Egyptian President, Abdul Fattah al`Sisi, and | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
this is one of Tony Blair's guys is now, isn't it? One of his many | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
roles. He has promised to deliver huge business opportunities to those | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
involved, and that is what the Guardian has learned. The former PM | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
is now Middle East envoy, isn't it? He has supported the coup against | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
Mohammed Morsi, and he is going to give advice on economic reform in | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
collaboration with a UAE financed coalition in Cairo, | :06:54. | :07:29. | |
business activities are and what his peace envoy activities are. This | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
seems to have fallen into a great... Is not just a peace envoy, | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
is trying to bring stability and reforms, and that comes from | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
economy. Money makes the world go around. The issue with we don't | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
know, it is not entirely clear whether he is doing this with his | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
trying to be good for the world hat on, or trying to be good for my | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
business hat on. Maybe a little bit the Guardian was told that this is | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
his backing for Egypt assessing support in the international | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
community, which it doesn't have a lot of. Just above that story, a | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
rather different picture on the front page of the Guardian. Andy | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Murray, after his defeat today. We have seen lots of pictures of the | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
royal family. It is rather an unflattering photograph of the | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
Duchess of Cambridge. Maybe it is a boy thing, and maybe you can both | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
answer this. If I had just lost something and someone patted me on | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
the chest like that, I really would feel quite aggrieved, and possibly | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
quite angry. What is wrong with just a handshake? I know they are made, | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
but even so, give him a hug, but don't pat him on the chest. And they | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
see checking that his heart rate is OK! It is difficult to tell in this | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
picture, because it is a snapshot, but he looks quite surprised by the | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
tap on the chest. He has his hand around his back, as well. What would | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
you feel like few pages lost a match? The first British man, 77 | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
years, he waited a long time, he is out. He says he was outplayed, so he | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
hears. His mate comes over and goes, sorry about that, tap. I don't know, | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
how would you feel about that? I have always lost tennis so I don't | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
know the foot dragging moment. I know the foot dragging moment. I | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
thought this guy was a young gun, he was 23, and this was the new | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
generation coming through. Apparently he is a late developer, | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
23 is quite old. Let's move on to the Daily Express, and pensioners | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
make it onto the front page. Right, we don't have that one, actually. | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
This is pay`outs of up to ?884 per year, and there seems to be less of | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
a gap between those working for a salary and those who are looking | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
forward to retirement. It is also about the fact they are having to | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
work longer. Our pensioners but they are actually working pensioners, | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
that is how they make a bit more income. You think this is part`time | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
work, is this pension is continuing to work the longer? I don't know. Is | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
a there has been a huge increase in self`employment since the crisis, | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
and about 4/5 of that has been people over 50, and a lot of those | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
over 65. People working for themselves, dropping their hours, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
keeping control of it, but keeping their hand in and making some extra | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
money to top up their pension. Nothing wrong with that! The Daily | :11:07. | :11:19. | |
Telegraph, Rowan Williams turns to border. To Niger this, Rowan | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Williams has said he spends 40 minutes a day squatting and... It is | :11:26. | :11:37. | |
embracing all beliefs, isn't it? We are a multicultural world, and there | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
are many benefits. Have you ever tried it? I have done yoga for a | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
long time, and I suppose that is sort of a similar thing, we | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
concentrate on trying to clear your mind, and sometimes it doesn't work | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
and you are thinking about whether you have remembered to defrost the | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
chicken. Often you can zone out. It is at mindfulness of things. He | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
describes it as a religious experience, doesn't it? It is a time | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
when you are aware of your body as a place where things happen, and | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
therefore, God happens. I have never tried it, but it is becoming very | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
trendy, meditation. Lots of CEOs and business executives are getting into | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
it and claiming it can really help make you more productive during the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
day. I don't know if that is actually the spirit of it. Why not? | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
I don't know if it is quite taken off in the world of journalism. I've | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
never seen anyone do it in the newsroom. You would have to find a | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
quiet spot. Which would be difficult around here. You would have to find, | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
I don't know... There is a very sweaty form of yoga where it is lots | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
of people in a very hot room. Bikram Yoga? Hole you don't want that, that | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
is horrible. The idea of people throwing themselves into a warrior | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
pose in that part of sweat going across the room. Thanks to leaving | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
us with more in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow, Rowan Williams turns to | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
border. Penny Smith and Sarah Connor will be back soon, stay with us. On | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
midnight we will have the latest on increased purity measures being | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
brought in at UK airports. Now, it is time for World Cup Sportsday. | :13:37. | :13:40. |
