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.
