not bid for the World Cup as long as Sepp Blatter is in charge of FIFA. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
That will be coming up in 15 minutes. | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
Hello and welcome to The Papers. Not our normal studio as you can see ` | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
we're live on the banks of the river Clyde to mark the eve of Glasgow | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
2014. With me are Richard Walker, the Editor of The Sunday Herald and | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Lindsay McIntosh, Scottish Political Editor for The Times. They'll be | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
taking us through their pick of tomorrow morning's stories in just a | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
moment. First let's look at tomorrow's front pages, starting | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
with... The Independent says MPs are warning of a sharp increase in the | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
sale of weaponry to Russia, just as the European Union considers | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
widening sanctions against Moscow over its support for pro`Russian | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
rebels in Eastern Ukraine. They've been blamed, of course, for downing | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the Malaysian airliner. The Scottish Telegraph says the SNP leader Alex | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Salmond has broken his own self`imposed ban and already talked | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
about Scottish Independence even before the Commonwealth Games has | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
officially started. The Guardian leads with the Trojan horse report | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
from a former counter`terror chief into allegations of a hardline | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Muslim take`over of schools in Birmingham. The Mail says David | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Cameron is under pressure to return donations given by Russian oligarchs | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
to the Conservative Party. The Mirror claims M15 are convinced | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
President Putin sanctioned the assassination of Alexander | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
Litvinenko. The Herald says the Commonwealth Games will showcase a | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
transformed Glasgow to the world, creating benefits that will be felt | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
for generations. And finally, Alex Salmond's pledge to keep politics | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
out of the Games makes the front page of The Scotsman. So let's | :01:44. | :01:55. | |
begin... Richard, in the interest of fairness, you can kick us off. The | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
Telegraph. It is a strange way to report the story. It says that Alex | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Salmond cannot stop all attacks from coming into the games. But then it | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
also criticizes George Osborne for coming all the way from London. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Before we get into this, I should say that your paper is the only one | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
that has come out in favour of the yes campaign. The Times has not come | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
out either way. As I said, it is a strange way to report this story | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
because what happened in reality was that George Osborne came here to | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
talk at the Commonwealth Business Conference and pledged a loss of | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
money. I am sorry, but no one can say that he is not using the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Commonwealth Games as a platform to suggest to people that they are | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
better off staying in the union. Or Alex Salmond to reply to that seems | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
perfectly reasonable `` for. I thought he spoke first? He may have | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
but George Osborne was offering... Perhaps bribing is more fitting, and | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
to suggest that it was Alex Salmond who has begun this, it is not the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
truth I am afraid. I think the Telegraph take on this is quite | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
interesting because what they have done is picked up a quote from Alex | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Salmond today where he has said that he is going to have a self`denial | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
pledge on talking about politics during the Commonwealth Games. He | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
has said that he will get provocation from George Osborne. It | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
is not exactly the strongest political statement but what we know | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
is that Alex Salmond does have a tendency to use sporting events for | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
political gain. Wimbledon and the poorly judged use of the word | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
Sco`lympians. It is slightly dodgy. However, the comment he made at | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
George Osborne is a jibe rather than a political statement. In terms of | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
what George Osborne said that this conference today, what he's talking | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
about is the city deal which has been to Glasgow which is money from | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
the UK government for infrastructure investments which will be matched by | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
the Scottish government. What he is saying is that this is the business | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
branding that we can do as part of the UK. In terms of breaking his | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
self`imposed ban on political speaking, they haven't technically | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
started. When does it start? It could be a long 12 days for him. We | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
will give him the fact that they have not started yet. It is a return | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
to some of the previous statements he has made. It is not a statement | :05:30. | :05:45. | |
of intent. It seems harmless enough to point out when famous Olympians | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
and so forth are Scottish. Or could be a backlash, couldn't there `` | :05:53. | :06:05. | |
there. If he is using it as a platform for politics? He has just | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
said that he is going to do that so I since it is a bit unfair for | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
people to say that he has done that since it hasn't even started. It was | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
a jibe, as Lindsay said, not politics. It is also the front page | :06:22. | :06:34. | |
of the Scotsman. The Scotsman reports relatively straight. I | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
haven't entered into the debate for the Commonwealth Games are | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
concerned. I would like to point out that it takes two sides and I think | :06:44. | :07:06. | |
if the Better Together is going to do this, they have to be quiet about | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
it. He is not completely avoiding politics . Maybe let us have a | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
fortnight of celebrating the Commonwealth Games rather than | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
having this debate. We have had it for the last two years. It has been | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
incessant and rightly after the Commonwealth Games it will continue | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
but let's take a moment and breathe. I agree with that but both | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
sides should do it. Let's take a look at this. Politicians ready to | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
welcome the world to the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
They are focusing very much on the games themselves and the investment | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
it has brought. It is a great image on the front page of The Herald. It | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
is exactly what Lascaux should be doing `` Glasgow. They are talking | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
about the transformation of the city which has been there for everyone to | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
see and also on the investment that we have had and a little bit of the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
politics. A touch on it towards the end of that story `` they. In terms | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
of the Commonwealth Games themselves, do you think there will | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
be an effect in terms of confidence? When you look back on 2012 and the | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
way people in London felt after that, think it will have the same | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
kind of impact relatively? I think so. I took the train today and I saw | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
these massive posters in Queen Street that were all positive | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
messages and accompanying images and as soon as you get there, you think | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
something great is happening there. I saw a report on the economic | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
benefits of the Olympics in London and hopefully we will see something | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
similar in terms of the Commonwealth Games. I think so. I thought the way | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
they handled the London Olympics was brilliant. I thought that the | :09:29. | :09:42. | |
depiction of Great Britain was fantastic. But even so, I still | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
thought it was powerful for everyone. I think ours will be | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
celebratory. There is a lot to celebrate about this city and our | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
country. It has been transformed and I'm really looking forward to seeing | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
how it comes out tomorrow. There is certainly a sense of celebration | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
coming musicians on the streets and so forth. What helps is the | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
weather. It is beautiful even now. Positively balmy. It is not always | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
like that I have to admit but it is fantastic when it is and the timing | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
could not be better. The streets are packed with people as you said, | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
people from all over the world and there is a real sense of | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
anticipation and celebration and I think that will just told as the | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
event goes on `` build. The opening ceremony is tomorrow evening. Are | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
you looking forward to it? I am. The organiser of the games has promised | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
an opening ceremony that is uniquely Glasgow. I think that will be | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
perfect if they take the best of our city and Scotland and show it to a | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
global audience. It will be wonderful. You were going to be | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
there Richard, can you see the crane on the other side of the river | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
behind us? I threw myself off it. I was in a harness at the time but it | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
was still very scary. I do think I deserve it. Did you enjoy it? I | :11:33. | :11:42. | |
don't think there was any enjoyment at all. I was terrified. The worst | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
moment was stepping off and leaping into the abyss. There was no good | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
side to it. I expected to feel elation when I got to the ground but | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
I am still recovering from the terror of that five minutes | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
beforehand. Perhaps it will all feel worthwhile when you are at the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
opening ceremony tomorrow. That is the most I can hope for. He had | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
managed to keep it quite quiet. We haven't had more than a few hints | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
about what will happen. Not to bring negativity into it but we have heard | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
that some things have been pulled from the event. Hopefully it will | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
not impact on what they have. I have heard that they will put on a | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
phenomenal event for Glasgow and Scotland. I think it is good that | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
they listen to public opinion. I think people complain that certain | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
parts of Glasgow are not quick to benefit from the games and residents | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
don't always so good about it. I think, in general the feeling is one | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
of support for the Commonwealth Games. I think that will only | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
improve and increase as the day goes on. Enjoy tomorrow evening and thank | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
you both. That's it for The Papers. Next on BBC News it's Sportsday. | :13:26. | :13:46. | |
