:00:00. > :00:00.Jenkins pulls out of the triathlon. That's in Sportsday, in 15 minutes,

:00:00. > :00:19.after the papers. Hello there. Welcome to our lock

:00:20. > :00:24.ahead to what the papers will bring us tomorrow. With me Alice Arnold

:00:25. > :00:28.and Martin Bentham. Let's look at some of the front pages now. We

:00:29. > :00:32.start with the FT. It goes with the Prime Minister's reshuffle, saying

:00:33. > :00:36.he's injected new urgency into Britain's drive to reform the

:00:37. > :00:40.European Union. The Telegraph, pictures the Employment Minister

:00:41. > :00:44.there, Esther McVey who keeps her job and will now attend Cabinet. The

:00:45. > :00:50.Express says Britain is set to swelter as a so`called Spanish plume

:00:51. > :00:54.of hot air sweeps in. Going, going, Gove is on the front of the

:00:55. > :00:57.Guardian, which says David Cameron demoted the Education Secretary

:00:58. > :01:00.after polling showed he was toxic with voters.

:01:01. > :01:03.The Mail says the penalty for drivers who use a mobile phone at

:01:04. > :01:08.the wheel could be doubled to six points. And the Sun reports that the

:01:09. > :01:13.television host Jeremy Kyle was attacked with pepper spray by a

:01:14. > :01:18.bouncer in Magaluf. I think they've just opened an

:01:19. > :01:24.office in Magaluf actually, the Sun. Any way, Alice, we start with the

:01:25. > :01:29.Telegraph, Cameron targets women and UKIP. On the front page a Trident

:01:30. > :01:33.looking Esther McVey who keeps her job. Two more women are now going to

:01:34. > :01:39.be in the Cabinet, ten women have been promoted in all. Is that good

:01:40. > :01:45.enough do you think? This is Cameron's `` this is a reflection of

:01:46. > :01:49.modern Britain in his Cabinet, five out of 17 in the Cabinet are now

:01:50. > :01:55.women. If that reflects modern Britain, there's a lot of women

:01:56. > :01:59.hiding. Where are I can't they? Do the maths with that It's more one.

:02:00. > :02:08.Reflective, though, it's better. It's the most that have ever been

:02:09. > :02:13.under Cameron. So whoopee for that and lovely pictures of Esther McVey,

:02:14. > :02:17.who isn't properly in the Cabinet, but she looks nice in the pictures.

:02:18. > :02:22.Hang on ` the she's attending meetings. I'm getting the impression

:02:23. > :02:28.you're not impressed. I'll be impressed when the Cabinet reflects

:02:29. > :02:31.modern Britain. I'll be impressed when it reflects modern Britain, 50%

:02:32. > :02:34.of the brightest people in this country are women. They need to be

:02:35. > :02:38.in the Cabinet, otherwise we're wasting a lot of talent. I didn't

:02:39. > :02:41.see any black or Asian people striding purposely towards the door

:02:42. > :02:49.of Number Ten today either. No, no pictures of that. Hang on, let's me

:02:50. > :02:54.` no, don't see it. But Martin, to be fair, to be fair, it is more

:02:55. > :02:57.reflective of Britain, isn't it? It's more reflective than it was.

:02:58. > :03:02.Alice might suggest it's starting from a very, Very Nice Name low `` a

:03:03. > :03:05.very, very low base. That's the problem. He has to go from

:03:06. > :03:08.somewhere. The real problem is that in the Conservative Party they don't

:03:09. > :03:12.have that many women in questionable. They don't have

:03:13. > :03:15.anywhere near 50% in the Parliamentary party and it's

:03:16. > :03:21.difficult to get that many into the Cabinet. That's part of the problem.

:03:22. > :03:25.The other question about it will be, although, many of these women, in

:03:26. > :03:29.fact all of them have got very good reputations and are talked of being

:03:30. > :03:34.very talented, there is a fear that because it's all about the election

:03:35. > :03:37.that's it's a late rush to do it, rather than pure promotion on merit,

:03:38. > :03:44.which should have happened some time ago. Exact ly. Let's go onto the

:03:45. > :03:48.UKIP point. Philip Hammond is a Euro`sceptic. He would like to see

:03:49. > :03:55.Britain leave the EU, he said, if there is no reform. The

:03:56. > :04:00.Attorney`General, Dominic grief is out. `` Dominic Grieve is out. He

:04:01. > :04:07.believes the European Convention on Human Rights is a good thing. Is

:04:08. > :04:13.this a clear and present attack to take away the sting of UKIP? That's

:04:14. > :04:17.how the Tell graph is billing it. The question for cam ran is A,

:04:18. > :04:23.whether when we have, which we will come onto in a second, whether when

:04:24. > :04:29.the top jobs in Europe are divied up tomorrow whether we get a plum post

:04:30. > :04:32.or not and further down`the`line, whether preelection there's any sign

:04:33. > :04:35.from the Government that they've achieved anything sub`Stantive in

:04:36. > :04:40.repatriating the powers they want. Otherwise when it comes to the

:04:41. > :04:43.general election, UKIP and those who are critical will say, well, what

:04:44. > :04:46.have you achieved? You talk about this and maybe you've got more

:04:47. > :04:51.Euro`sceptic people in key posts, but it hasn't delivered anything.

:04:52. > :04:58.All this happening on the same day, if we go to the if the `` Financial

:04:59. > :05:05.Times. On the front there's a picture of a smiling Nigel Farage

:05:06. > :05:09.and Jean`Claude Juncker. Has that been photo shopped. That must have

:05:10. > :05:16.been. That cannot be true. Can it? No, it's true. I'm sure it is.

:05:17. > :05:21.They've been pale recently. Farage was congratulating him on his

:05:22. > :05:26.alleged drinking. He's happy he has a drink and a smoking. They're

:05:27. > :05:29.drinking Maybe not buddies. . We know allegedly, I'm not sure if

:05:30. > :05:34.that's correct, that Mr Juncker likes a tipple. We certainly know

:05:35. > :05:38.that Mr Farage likes a tipple. That seems to be why they're agreeing

:05:39. > :05:42.there. Yes, and they're putting in that this chap called Lord Hill, who

:05:43. > :05:46.they hope will get one of these, everybody seems to have had to

:05:47. > :05:50.Google him to find out who he is, including Juncker. Nobody knows who

:05:51. > :05:54.he is. Do you know? I must admit, I know of Lord Hill, a Labour peer,

:05:55. > :05:58.actually. I thought for a second it was him. Obviously it wasn't him!

:05:59. > :06:02.That would be a surprise. That's a reshuffle too far. Exact ly. No`one

:06:03. > :06:04.knows this one particularly. We've Googled him now and he's going to

:06:05. > :06:05.hopefully, they hope get one Googled him now and he's going to

:06:06. > :06:09.hopefully, they hope get of the top jobs. That's the hope that this man

:06:10. > :06:13.will be in there and get hopefully one of the portfolio that might

:06:14. > :06:18.suggest that Europe could be moving towards the way that the UK feels in

:06:19. > :06:24.relation to the European Union. That's not going to happen, is it?

:06:25. > :06:27.Is Jean`Claude Juncker going to give one of the serious integration

:06:28. > :06:31.portfolios to a British Euro`sceptic? He might do in the

:06:32. > :06:35.sense that clearly both he, from what he's said, and indeed the

:06:36. > :06:38.Germans, through Angela Merkel, are keen actually despite all the

:06:39. > :06:44.clashes that have gone on to keep us on board. I think, although Lord

:06:45. > :06:47.Hill is not the Tory big hitter that was mooted beforehand, various other

:06:48. > :06:52.names were touted as going to Brussels in that role, it will be a

:06:53. > :06:57.real test, I think, as to whether there are serious intent in the

:06:58. > :07:00.European Union to listen to them. He's making rumbling noises,

:07:01. > :07:06.Juncker, that are in the right direction. Yes. Sort of. Although...

:07:07. > :07:11.Whether he does anything or not. Yeah. Delivery is the key

:07:12. > :07:15.Appeasement. We know that one person who has been delivering in terms of

:07:16. > :07:19.his brief to shake up the education system, Mr Gove, the front page of

:07:20. > :07:23.the Guardian ` going, going Gove that. Was out of the blue, wasn't

:07:24. > :07:28.it? No`one had any idea that was coming. Wasn't he unpopular. This is

:07:29. > :07:33.the thing, Cameron is looking for the next election. He's thinking,

:07:34. > :07:36.I've got to save my bacon here. If that means getting rid of my best

:07:37. > :07:42.friend ` they're out. That's why he's got rid of Gove. He's become `

:07:43. > :07:47.A Marmite figure, I heard him described at. Most people not liking

:07:48. > :07:53.Marmite in that way. Do you know many people would like Gove? I'm

:07:54. > :07:57.sure there are. I have to say personally, as a parent with a

:07:58. > :08:02.daughter in school, I'm quite in favour of some of his You reforms.

:08:03. > :08:07.Go. She isn't actually. There's another matter. Right. What the

:08:08. > :08:11.interesting thing here of course, the great conundrum is that he's

:08:12. > :08:14.apparently doing this on the basis of polling and sacrificing his

:08:15. > :08:19.friend for the greater electoral gain. Yet, what's being said is that

:08:20. > :08:23.Michael Gove will appear ever more on television and being a key

:08:24. > :08:28.presentational figure. Exact ly, he's actually going to be on the TV

:08:29. > :08:33.much more than he is already. More? There's going to be more. He's a

:08:34. > :08:40.very effective speaker. He is. He's very engaging. Here, he's been

:08:41. > :08:44.joking today, apparently telling your PM programme today, "Demotion,

:08:45. > :08:47.emotion, promotion, locomotion, I don't know how to describe this

:08:48. > :08:51.move, but it's a privilege to serve." Exact Exactly. He doesn't

:08:52. > :08:55.see it as a demotion. Even though he's not taking home as much in his

:08:56. > :08:59.pay as he used to. It's fun yip how you can look at the `` funny how can

:09:00. > :09:04.you look at the bright That's to side. His credit. That point was

:09:05. > :09:07.made to him that he's not getting a Cabinet minister's salary. He made

:09:08. > :09:10.the point that anybody in politics is quite well paid and therefore he

:09:11. > :09:15.wasn't bothered about this. I thought, all to his credit actually.

:09:16. > :09:22.Most people think they are well paid. Indeed. We're going to go to

:09:23. > :09:25.the, stay with the Guardian actually. Interesting story this,

:09:26. > :09:32.let the terminally ill end their lives say doctors. This is of course

:09:33. > :09:37.in advance of Lord Falconer's assisted dying bill reaching the

:09:38. > :09:41.floor. This is a debate that is really developing now. Well, it is.

:09:42. > :09:46.It's interesting because we've got the two sides in the papers, we will

:09:47. > :09:52.look at the Tell graph in a minute. This is doctors wanting the bill to

:09:53. > :09:55.go through, or some doctors. It was interesting Desmond Tutu came out in

:09:56. > :09:59.favour of it at the weekend and having seen the treatment of Nelson

:10:00. > :10:04.Mandela apparently and Lord Carey has come out in favour of it, which

:10:05. > :10:08.is quite controversial. It seems that the bill would allow adults

:10:09. > :10:12.with less than six months to live to receive help to end their lives.

:10:13. > :10:20.This is the problem. Who decides who's got less than six months to

:10:21. > :10:25.live? How do you make that decision? People have recoveries. Oh, it's a

:10:26. > :10:28.huge can of worms to open. It's just interesting that there are some

:10:29. > :10:32.religious leaders coming out in favour and presumably quite a lot of

:10:33. > :10:36.doctors will be coming out against as well. It's not a Black Country

:10:37. > :10:43.and white thing. `` It's not a black and white thing. In the telegraph,

:10:44. > :10:49.religious leaders unite to condemn the law. One of the world's most

:10:50. > :10:52.famous religious leaders has made it clear he believes there is a role in

:10:53. > :10:55.society for assisted dying. Yes, again, you're right, there's no

:10:56. > :10:59.absolute straight down`the`line split. Some people see it as a

:11:00. > :11:05.compassionate issue and want to assist people who do have this clear

:11:06. > :11:08.view that they want to die. I think the question also is ` some of the

:11:09. > :11:12.people who are most articulate about it and clearly can decide for

:11:13. > :11:16.themselves, that's fine. Not everybody is in that situation. Some

:11:17. > :11:20.people, there is a question about people feeling under pressure,

:11:21. > :11:22.feeling they're a burdened and that's `` burden, and that's

:11:23. > :11:27.difficult. We can see the individual, very, very tragic cases

:11:28. > :11:32.of people who either have terminal illnesses which are going to leave

:11:33. > :11:35.them to face a lingering death or others who are incapacitated and

:11:36. > :11:40.want to end their lives. It's tragic and sad to see that. But it may not

:11:41. > :11:44.be creating a law which allows those cases to be identified clearly and

:11:45. > :11:53.not to have the negative side of some people feeling under pressure

:11:54. > :12:02.is quite difficult. Finally, the Daily Telegraph.

:12:03. > :12:07.Alexander and's claim that it will be 18 months of negotiation to stay

:12:08. > :12:16.in the European Union has been knocked out, apparently `` Alex

:12:17. > :12:22.Salmond. He will launch this grenade at the Scots here. He has clarified

:12:23. > :12:28.this by saying no new states does not include Scotland but it probably

:12:29. > :12:33.reflects a possible reality that may occur if the Scots vote for

:12:34. > :12:38.independence because there is a question about whether they would be

:12:39. > :12:44.admitted. The Daily Telegraph might be staring the pot a little bit. A

:12:45. > :12:50.spokesman for it Jean`Claude Yunker said he was not referring to

:12:51. > :12:54.Scotland `` Jean`Claude Juncker. He said apparently according to his

:12:55. > :12:59.office that he was talking about those already in the accession

:13:00. > :13:06.process such as Serbia and Turkey. That is a bit of a dodgy story,

:13:07. > :13:12.apparently. They got it a bit wrong, maybe they let a little early. Maybe

:13:13. > :13:16.they meant to leap a bit early. Or perhaps he did not express himself

:13:17. > :13:26.Ray clearly in the first place. You will be back in about an hour's

:13:27. > :13:29.time. Many thanks. Stay with us on BBC news because at 11pm we will

:13:30. > :13:32.have more on the Prime Minister's Major Cabinet reshuffle which has

:13:33. > :13:34.seen several women promoted to senior roles. Coming up now, it is

:13:35. > :13:47.Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday,

:13:48. > :13:50.I'm John Acres. Ronny Dialer gets off to

:13:51. > :13:53.a winning start as Celtic manager, as they beat KR Reykjavik in

:13:54. > :13:58.their Champions League Qualifier.
