:01:58. > :02:03.Guardian and a very serious story, for boys ran for their lives, and
:02:04. > :02:09.then a second shell exploded, there's a sense that this could be a
:02:10. > :02:13.tipping point `` four. It was caught on camera and has already been
:02:14. > :02:19.played and replayed, and every time it is awful, it is a particular
:02:20. > :02:27.story about four little boys who are killed and that goes to the heart of
:02:28. > :02:33.everyone, this is a global story, it has prompted an Israeli cease`fire,
:02:34. > :02:37.but not for long. Israel had to react because of the power of those
:02:38. > :02:44.images, if we had not had those, I doubt we would have had the
:02:45. > :02:48.cease`fire. Interesting. I was told they can do a lot in five hours,
:02:49. > :02:54.that is what someone from the United Nations told me. Hamas, at the
:02:55. > :03:03.moment, they have not signed up to this. Yes, just as they did not sign
:03:04. > :03:07.up to the previous sees via proposal `` cease`fire proposal from the
:03:08. > :03:10.Egyptians. They did not like that first proposal because it came from
:03:11. > :03:18.the Egyptians and because it did not give them any concessions, and that
:03:19. > :03:21.is their position, they have suffered enormous losses, but they
:03:22. > :03:29.do not just want to stop the conflict, they want to emerge from
:03:30. > :03:34.it having gained something. What they had gained, universal focus on
:03:35. > :03:41.their crisis once again, and it is the most unresolved problem, it is
:03:42. > :03:46.the thing which is quoted across the Middle East, the whole conflict
:03:47. > :03:54.between the Israelis and the Palestinian, it is the world against
:03:55. > :03:58.itself, quintessentially, and something as tragic as this, the
:03:59. > :04:04.death of four little boys, it goes around the world and it upsets
:04:05. > :04:10.everyone and quite rightly. We have had more than 200 people killed on
:04:11. > :04:16.the Palestinian side, but the very fact that people can see the
:04:17. > :04:24.footage, four small boys, they can see them running. It brings it
:04:25. > :04:27.home, and to actually see this, to think that these could be my
:04:28. > :04:37.children, people can identify with this. And now the Daily Express, we
:04:38. > :04:43.are going inside, this is about cutting child benefit for super size
:04:44. > :04:53.families. This has an election campaign written all over it. And
:04:54. > :05:01.policy exchange. As ever, this story starts, this kind of story, with
:05:02. > :05:06.plans likely to be submitted, from a think tank, which is close to the
:05:07. > :05:16.government, and its six a lot of boxes in terms of feeding to
:05:17. > :05:23.concerns about welfare scroungers `` it ticks. It also mentions
:05:24. > :05:30.immigrants, it goes through many of the boxes. Something very
:05:31. > :05:35.distasteful about pricing children, the idea of distinguishing one child
:05:36. > :05:39.as earning more money than another, and the only parallel I can think of
:05:40. > :05:45.is when I was in China in the 1980s, when you had a one child family and
:05:46. > :05:50.if you wanted a second, you were heavily penalised, we thought this
:05:51. > :05:55.was a very moral thing. These are proposals to penalised and to make
:05:56. > :06:02.the fourth child worth less. Something distasteful about that.
:06:03. > :06:08.Yes, but the majority of people, according to this poll, they think
:06:09. > :06:15.this is a good idea. In straight times, you have got to do this,
:06:16. > :06:26.perhaps. Is it cheaper to feed and clothe for children? `` four. I just
:06:27. > :06:35.think that is such a terrible way to trade family relationships. 70% are
:06:36. > :06:39.backing this, because how many people have actually got four
:06:40. > :06:44.children? A small minority actually have four children. The rest think
:06:45. > :06:50.that they are not going to pay for someone else's kids. That is right,
:06:51. > :06:55.it is a minority of families that are in this position, this might
:06:56. > :06:59.look like the government is getting tough on welfare and benefits and
:07:00. > :07:08.that plays well to a section of the population. They will lose the four
:07:09. > :07:14.children family vote, but they probably think that is quite small.
:07:15. > :07:21.This will appeal to Iain Duncan Smith, no doubt. And now the
:07:22. > :07:27.Financial Times, Time Warner rejects $80 billion offer from Rupert
:07:28. > :07:34.Murdoch's Fox. This is an amazing story, $80 billion, it has been
:07:35. > :07:43.rejected by Time Warner, which plays a heavy game. What I admire about
:07:44. > :07:46.Rupert Murdoch, he is a G3 and he is playing the biggest game of his
:07:47. > :07:56.career, he wants to roll the world `` 83. `` he wants to rule the
:07:57. > :07:59.world. Time Warner is CNN, and he has had to say that he would
:08:00. > :08:04.dispense with that, because of course it is Fox News which is his
:08:05. > :08:11.pride and joy, I think this is an amazing story, an old man playing
:08:12. > :08:17.hard until the end. What is interesting, what Rupert Murdoch has
:08:18. > :08:27.decided is that he cannot compete with Google, Amazon, Apple, these
:08:28. > :08:32.are the great media companies, and he needs Time Warner to help him
:08:33. > :08:39.take on these other media outlets. He does. Rupert Murdoch is the
:08:40. > :08:44.ultimate owner of the Sunday Times, I should make a disclaimer.
:08:45. > :08:48.Obviously there is consolidation going on in the media world. If you
:08:49. > :08:53.look at the traditional media powers, with the likes of Google, it
:08:54. > :09:00.is a very different situation from how it was ten years ago. What is
:09:01. > :09:05.quite telling, this is the final stage, as it were, in the merger of
:09:06. > :09:11.America Online and Time Warner, that created this company, and when that
:09:12. > :09:17.happened ten years ago it was worth $164 billion, but now it is worth
:09:18. > :09:23.half that, it is a complete mismatch to start with. Yes, but they are
:09:24. > :09:32.saying this is undervalued, ?80 billion, and it will have to be a
:09:33. > :09:38.big increase or a hostile takeover. I do not think he will get up to
:09:39. > :09:45.$180 billion. There would also be anti competition ramifications, he
:09:46. > :09:53.owns Fox News, and Time Warner owns CNN, which one is he going to flog
:09:54. > :09:57.off? It will be CNN. I'm a great fan of CNN and so I watch its destiny
:09:58. > :10:03.with care. He has made that calculation, CNN must be truly
:10:04. > :10:09.alarmed at this prospect, hoping that Time Warner holdout in
:10:10. > :10:20.perpetuity, $80 billion is small beer. And now the Telegraph. Wind
:10:21. > :10:28.farms. They go together like strawberries and cream, maybe
:10:29. > :10:32.strawberries and sour cream. We have more articles here, number of
:10:33. > :10:39.turbine fires could be ten times greater than for. LAUGHTER
:10:40. > :10:42.This is perfect for the Daily Telegraph readers, sitting out in
:10:43. > :10:49.the shires, contemplating the horrors of the turbines around them.
:10:50. > :10:57.It turns out that the total number globally of wind turbine fires is
:10:58. > :11:04.11.7 each year, and so that is not a very big number. It is a perfect
:11:05. > :11:10.scare story, though. We get a longer version of this in the Scottish
:11:11. > :11:17.Telegraph, which has a line about a group of turbines catching fire in
:11:18. > :11:24.Anglesey, which became flaming Catherine wheels, as it was
:11:25. > :11:26.described. We're done a `` we are going to go to President Obama,
:11:27. > :11:27.sorry to break
