:00:00. > :00:00.look ahead to the first test between England and India. Coming up in 15
:00:00. > :00:13.minutes. Hello and welcome to
:00:14. > :00:16.our look ahead to what the papers With me are Caroline Daniel,
:00:17. > :00:19.editor of the Weekend edition of the Financial Times,
:00:20. > :00:36.and Kevin Schofield, Chief That remarkable World Cup scorer.
:00:37. > :00:39.That was surely feature on the front pages, but not yet!
:00:40. > :00:41.The Financial Times says the Better Together campaign to keep
:00:42. > :00:44.Scotland as part of the UK has received a flood of donations
:00:45. > :00:47.in the run`up to the referendum on Scottish independence.
:00:48. > :00:49.Shoppers are increasingly forcing down prices by choosing discount
:00:50. > :00:54.The Guardian has details of donations made to
:00:55. > :00:56.the Conservative Party by the brother`in`law of Financial
:00:57. > :01:02.And the Metro explains how the authorities caught two men
:01:03. > :01:04.from Birmingham, who went to Syria to fight alongside
:01:05. > :01:17.And English cities like Manchester and Birmingham will ask Westminster
:01:18. > :01:24.to fold more economic control to them. The Daily Telegraph, Britain
:01:25. > :01:30.will be able to claw back some powers from Brussels? This does
:01:31. > :01:36.sound like music to the ears of a lot of people, particularly those
:01:37. > :01:44.backbenchers on the Tory party? In theory... ! But it really should be,
:01:45. > :01:48.Britain may very possibly, after very long negotiation, if we
:01:49. > :01:54.decide... It does qualify this by saying, we're looking at these if
:01:55. > :02:00.only all others agree. There are lots of different caveats. The good
:02:01. > :02:05.news is he is not bad`mouthing David Cameron. But there is no real story
:02:06. > :02:10.in terms of any real evidence. Kevin, in fact, he is fulfilling
:02:11. > :02:17.every single game lead in prophecy that the Tory adventures were
:02:18. > :02:23.saying? He also says, I am not a Federalist, and that was the scare
:02:24. > :02:33.story. And he says he does not want an EU without Britain so that... But
:02:34. > :02:39.he does include Britain being able to claw back some powers? He does
:02:40. > :02:45.say that but... This will need agreement from other members of the
:02:46. > :02:50.EU. This will involve give and take that this is a positive signal from
:02:51. > :03:01.the Prime Minister because he was bruised when he went into bat and he
:03:02. > :03:08.only had one friend, in Hungary. So this is a slight olive branch to
:03:09. > :03:17.say, look, we will, in theory, agree to some powers being returned. I am
:03:18. > :03:21.much more sceptical, this is from a leaked recording to Brussels MEPs,
:03:22. > :03:29.if this really was an olive branch, he would say something much more
:03:30. > :03:34.explicit to the British. There are lots of other things the British
:03:35. > :03:39.will want from the Commissioner. This is pretty much the smallest
:03:40. > :03:57.thing, we might really negotiate powers. All very interesting. But
:03:58. > :04:05.Brazil, they are dying 7`0! `` dime. `` down. As a Scotland fan, it is
:04:06. > :04:12.sorry to feel sorry for the great Brazil! We will also stay with
:04:13. > :04:18.Telegraph, shoppers are forcing down prices? Yes, this is an interesting
:04:19. > :04:26.trend, apparently the rise of discount stores are forcing down
:04:27. > :04:31.prices in other supermarkets, the upper end of the spectrum. And they
:04:32. > :04:41.are pushing down prices and becoming much more popular with wealthier
:04:42. > :04:46.shoppers. They want a bargain. They had the steepest fall in eight
:04:47. > :04:53.years. That is quite significant. Given the cost of living crisis, as
:04:54. > :04:57.Ed Miliband calls it, that is going to be a very big political
:04:58. > :05:02.discussion point in the run`up to the election, this is quite
:05:03. > :05:07.insignificant thing. A lot of people would say this is competition in
:05:08. > :05:13.action. If only the energy markets was `` were as competitive? Great
:05:14. > :05:21.news for illegal but not for Tesco and Marks Spencer. They had pretty
:05:22. > :05:25.bad results. 12 quarters of slowing sales in clothing and Tesco recently
:05:26. > :05:31.had terrible results, the worst in 40 years in the UK. And this is the
:05:32. > :05:34.evidence, people like my father going shopping for his shepherd 's
:05:35. > :05:42.pie and boasting about how cheap it was. Prices at a level that Tesco
:05:43. > :05:48.and Marks Spencer will have to deal with? Totally, and this shift
:05:49. > :05:54.to online shopping, so you can... Marks Spencer is bad online but
:05:55. > :05:57.others are incredibly easy. And there are more of them, they are not
:05:58. > :06:03.going away. It is fantastic for consumers. If only competition was
:06:04. > :06:10.as good as that in other sectors of society. The Financial Times. The
:06:11. > :06:16.act of union, the Better Together campaign has been deluged with
:06:17. > :06:20.donations? This is a very good news story if you are in favour of
:06:21. > :06:23.Scotland staying with the UK, they have raised almost double the amount
:06:24. > :06:31.of donation money for the Better Together campaign than the
:06:32. > :06:35.pro`Scottish campaign. ?2.4 million, and a lot of that is from J K
:06:36. > :06:40.Rowling. The fascinating part of the story is how much this has come from
:06:41. > :06:47.Tory donors. If of them been helping out. And from big companies and from
:06:48. > :06:54.tankers. It has been bankrolled by Tory backers and David Cameron... He
:06:55. > :07:02.has said, get your fingers out! Which are hand in your pocket. This
:07:03. > :07:06.potentially will have an effect? Just over ten weeks until the
:07:07. > :07:10.referendum, there is a lot of advertising space being paid for so
:07:11. > :07:16.obviously this money will come in very handy. What is also significant
:07:17. > :07:23.about this is, of the pro`independence campaign, they had
:07:24. > :07:28.?4 million in total and a lot of that came from a couple who want the
:07:29. > :07:36.EuroMillions and the other was Stagecoach, big SMP fans. We're
:07:37. > :07:39.always told that the yes campaign is a grassroots movement but when it
:07:40. > :07:43.comes down to actual cash, it is coming from a very limited range of
:07:44. > :07:47.sources whereas the Better Together campaign is wealthy individuals and
:07:48. > :07:52.companies with a broader spectrum. What happened is that the opinion
:07:53. > :07:57.polls narrowed a couple of months ago and a lot of prounion supporters
:07:58. > :08:01.saw that and thought, this will not going the way we want it to. They
:08:02. > :08:09.came up with the cash. Hugely significant in the run`up to the
:08:10. > :08:14.vote. The Guardian, Harriet Harman tells of a raw deal by sexism. She
:08:15. > :08:17.suggested that Gordon Brown did not make the Deputy Prime Minister
:08:18. > :08:23.because she is a woman? That was very mean of him! This is a really
:08:24. > :08:28.interesting thing, people might say you would expect to see this. She
:08:29. > :08:35.has been cheered on by Conservative ladies on Twitter? This view of him
:08:36. > :08:40.that I would be cheering her! She has been campaigning for gender
:08:41. > :08:47.equality. There are some details about her hosting event at the G8
:08:48. > :08:53.summit, limited to dining with the wives of the leaders, and I can see
:08:54. > :09:01.why that is very patronising. We discussed the reaction from David
:09:02. > :09:08.McBride, he has underlined what a political `` politically thuggish
:09:09. > :09:14.environment this is. It was a great speech. Kevin, she talks about
:09:15. > :09:20.overall sexism at Westminster. You write for the Sun, doesn't look
:09:21. > :09:29.pretty sexist to you? I think it is. It is an old boys club, she also has
:09:30. > :09:36.a go at the press gallery. She refers it `` to it as being too male
:09:37. > :09:44.dominated. I would take issue there, I think Damian McBride, he does
:09:45. > :09:48.point out that Gordon Brown's record on promoting women was actually
:09:49. > :09:52.quite good. And the best line from him was when he said that as far as
:09:53. > :09:55.Gordon was concerned, people fell into two different categories, they
:09:56. > :10:03.were useless or they were not useless. John Prescott was Deputy
:10:04. > :10:11.Leader and he got the job as the number two. It would seem on the
:10:12. > :10:16.face of it, pure and utter sexism that the same thing did not happen
:10:17. > :10:20.to her? I would agree but it is just a bit late for her to be talking
:10:21. > :10:26.about this year's after the event. I don't remember her at the time...
:10:27. > :10:31.Why not? I do not know. As a lecturer, she was giving it on the
:10:32. > :10:38.quality and that is a very big thing for her. `` the quality. John
:10:39. > :10:44.Prescott was a Tony Blair appointment, this was a decision of
:10:45. > :10:48.Gordon Brown. There were special circumstances regarding John
:10:49. > :10:55.Prescott representing the left of the party and having to be given a
:10:56. > :10:58.decent job to bolster his ego a little bit so there are different
:10:59. > :11:00.circumstances. Gordon Brown decided that would not be the case,
:11:01. > :11:08.especially when Harriet Harman got elected. And she has finally, seven
:11:09. > :11:15.years later, decided to speak up about this. We are running out of
:11:16. > :11:22.time, The Daily Telegraph, an attack on the wealth of J K Rowling? At the
:11:23. > :11:26.heart of this is some amazing data about authors and how much they do
:11:27. > :11:35.not get paid. The average order, then mean income is ?11,000 every
:11:36. > :11:38.year. Based on 2500 writers. That is below the minimum wage. The idea
:11:39. > :11:44.that you will make money from being a novelist is over. This is an
:11:45. > :11:47.indirect attack on just how unrepresentative she is, she is
:11:48. > :11:55.worth ?600 million. She could probably buy all of the other
:11:56. > :12:02.authors in the UK! No one but she was indicative of the publishing
:12:03. > :12:05.world, did they? This is more about using a very nice picture of J K
:12:06. > :12:12.Rowling on the front page to sell more copies. You know the press so
:12:13. > :12:17.well! And their devious little ways. And she has reintroduced Harry
:12:18. > :12:24.Potter on his 30s, she did a piece on the website imagining Hermione
:12:25. > :12:27.and Harry and what they would look like in their 30s, Harry Potter has
:12:28. > :12:32.got some white hair, no spell to get rid of that. They say that
:12:33. > :12:41.journalists are all novelists who just cannot do it! That is true! I
:12:42. > :12:48.would not argue. Stick with the day job! ?11,000 per year, that is all
:12:49. > :12:54.you would get as an author. There was a great cartoon that shows an
:12:55. > :13:00.artist saying, I am writing a novel, and the other said, neither am I!
:13:01. > :13:06.That does say it all! You will be back in about 15 minutes. Because of
:13:07. > :13:13.the football. Many thanks. Stay with us. Much more at the top of the
:13:14. > :13:17.hour. It will be very interesting with the sport.
