:00:00. > :00:21.Frontieres says it will force the infected underground.

:00:22. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will feature

:00:30. > :00:35.tomorrow. For the second time in a day we have Yasmin and also

:00:36. > :00:39.journalist Eve Pollard. You make me feel like the office junior! Let us

:00:40. > :00:46.have a look at the front pages. The Observer says Scots will be offered

:00:47. > :00:51.a radical new deal for people to vote no in the referendum. A new

:00:52. > :00:55.poll suggests support for the yes vote is growing stronger and the

:00:56. > :01:00.Sunday Times claims Scotland is on course to vote for independence

:01:01. > :01:04.later this month. The Mail on Sunday carries a warning from Ed Miliband

:01:05. > :01:07.that manned border posts could be introduced Scotland boasts for

:01:08. > :01:12.independence. The Sunday Telegraph carries a picture of JK rolling who

:01:13. > :01:16.famously donated to the better together campaign and her main story

:01:17. > :01:23.is that MPs are likely to get a 10% pay rise next year. Katherine

:01:24. > :01:26.Jenkins is pictured on front of Scotland's Sunday post with the

:01:27. > :01:30.slightly confusing tag line, I'm so proud to be Scots. We will find out

:01:31. > :01:34.more about that a little later. We will start with the Observer. Scots

:01:35. > :01:40.to be offered a radical new bid it `` deal in a bid to save the union.

:01:41. > :01:48.I new opinion poll will shock Britain. This is the poll that we

:01:49. > :01:54.have been expecting. We are just 11 days until the historic vote and for

:01:55. > :02:00.the first time, very symbolically, it looks as though the Yes campaign

:02:01. > :02:06.have nudged ahead. Yes, everything is up for grabs. No

:02:07. > :02:10.one side can be seriously overconfident but I think it has not

:02:11. > :02:14.played... I have been to Scotland twice in the last six weeks, wants

:02:15. > :02:18.to Edinburgh and once in the Borders, and what was clear when I

:02:19. > :02:25.spoke to people there is that they did not like the bullying way the

:02:26. > :02:30.big voices of the No campaign were going on. They felt they were being

:02:31. > :02:33.put under and you pressure and they felt they were grown`ups and they

:02:34. > :02:38.could think about it and some of them really did not know which way

:02:39. > :02:44.they would go. A lot of people still do not. A lot say it will depend how

:02:45. > :02:50.they feel when they go with. I think whatever happens Alex Salmon has

:02:51. > :02:54.actually won. Even if it is a no vote they will get so many more

:02:55. > :03:00.concessions and that is the Observer story. There have already been hints

:03:01. > :03:05.that they will have a new convention and all kinds of new arrangements

:03:06. > :03:11.will be offered. Just stay with us and we can come to an agreement. I

:03:12. > :03:14.might be rather cynical about that. Government policy `` promised these

:03:15. > :03:18.things in the civil servants get hold of it and it does not really

:03:19. > :03:22.happen. If you think about it you have got separatists or people who

:03:23. > :03:27.want to be Independent all over the world, it is part of a zeitgeist at

:03:28. > :03:34.the moment, and I have expected that in the end it might turn out just to

:03:35. > :03:39.be a vote for independence because there has been so much negativity

:03:40. > :03:44.from this side and also there has been so much to frighten you. The

:03:45. > :03:48.very first thing, if someone says they will frighten you into it, it

:03:49. > :03:54.makes you think you will show them what `` who is boss and that is my

:03:55. > :03:58.take in the ballot box. They have been talking about all of these

:03:59. > :04:03.things they are going to give the Scots just to persuade them but they

:04:04. > :04:07.have had a long time. This is exactly what we're going to give you

:04:08. > :04:14.and here we are in of days before and it is almost like dealing with a

:04:15. > :04:18.boyfriend. You now have two 0 accepted it. Should it have been

:04:19. > :04:23.more carrot than stick all? There are really serious reasons why the

:04:24. > :04:27.Scots are thinking about this. They need to be thought about as well. It

:04:28. > :04:35.is quite clear to me that the way the Scots imagine their society is

:04:36. > :04:40.very different from the way our bigger British imagination is going

:04:41. > :04:44.in that they are very socialist minded, their nearest kind of ideals

:04:45. > :04:50.are the Scandinavian countries where as, whether we like it or not, I

:04:51. > :04:55.think our British government, successive governments, have veered

:04:56. > :05:00.towards the Anglo`Saxon, much more ruthlessly capitalistic model. At

:05:01. > :05:04.Times. I think ever since Margaret Thatcher until now there has been a

:05:05. > :05:08.number of, through Blair and Brown. I do not think it is necessary that

:05:09. > :05:13.we want to be like Americans, we live in bigger cities and we want a

:05:14. > :05:17.different life. When you go to Scotland as I have two do bits of

:05:18. > :05:25.work and to have holidays it is just a small group of people. London, let

:05:26. > :05:30.us be very honest, perhaps the problem in the British Isles is

:05:31. > :05:35.London runs everything. I fit we should become a city state and that

:05:36. > :05:39.is the next bit of devolution. Can I be Queen of London? Not the real

:05:40. > :05:44.Queen, she can be queen that I could run London. You need to speak about

:05:45. > :05:49.Boris `` to Boris about that. Every Scottish person I met while I was

:05:50. > :05:53.there, yes or no, is very pro`European. Let us move on to the

:05:54. > :06:00.Sunday Times. That is a big difference as well. They have this

:06:01. > :06:05.poll saying that the uni screen fears the break`up of the UK. David

:06:06. > :06:09.Cameron is due to breakfast with the Queen tomorrow. That will be an

:06:10. > :06:14.interesting conversation, went to? Publicly she does not express an

:06:15. > :06:19.opinion but in the Sunday Times Royal sources said to say that the

:06:20. > :06:23.Queen is a Unionist and we would expect that she is, she is the Queen

:06:24. > :06:30.of Scotland as well. So is David Cameron and so most of us in our

:06:31. > :06:35.hearts, we are part of Great Britain but you know you just have to have

:06:36. > :06:39.some imagination to think that the Queen will still be the Queen of

:06:40. > :06:44.Scotland. There is talk of a constitutional issue. They are in

:06:45. > :06:49.uncharted territory. It is not beyond human wit to try and sort

:06:50. > :06:51.something out. None of it is! Actually Her Majesty has been

:06:52. > :06:57.brilliant all the way through and she will find a way through and it

:06:58. > :07:04.will work fine if they do vote to leave. I notice that child has got

:07:05. > :07:08.to kill time. Is tickets? It is the Braemar Games so you would have to

:07:09. > :07:14.wear a kilt! The Scottish people are not going to get an elected head of

:07:15. > :07:18.government. You do not think they will become a Republican same time?

:07:19. > :07:23.I wish that they would! They did say that they actually won the Queen to

:07:24. > :07:29.remain head of state. Let us look at the Mail on Sunday. Ed Miliband will

:07:30. > :07:33.put up guards on the Scottish border and there is talk of a new Hadrian

:07:34. > :07:37.'s Wall. Can we get duty`free as we go across? If anything would want to

:07:38. > :07:46.make you want to go and vote for independence this is a crazy idea.

:07:47. > :07:55.You can almost see a sitcom being written about the men who man of

:07:56. > :07:59.these guards with people passing by with too much mulled whiskey. Which

:08:00. > :08:03.way will it flow? I am getting very old and will I moved to Scotland

:08:04. > :08:10.because old people get a better deal? A nice little retirement

:08:11. > :08:17.village! You have that warmer sea. Free care. All of us could move up

:08:18. > :08:23.there. Who will it stop? Ed Miliband must be very worried because a lot

:08:24. > :08:29.of his MPs come from Scotland. This is just insane. The idea that you

:08:30. > :08:35.are going to have to go through customs, which you do not do now in

:08:36. > :08:38.most of Europe so the idea that you are now leaving Scotland, have done

:08:39. > :08:43.a think and what will you have to do, check how many shortbread

:08:44. > :08:47.biscuits you have got? It is just insanity. Let us move on to the

:08:48. > :08:51.Daily Telegraph and we can move away for a moment from the Scottish

:08:52. > :08:58.referendum. MPs to get a temper sent pay rise. They say this is an

:08:59. > :09:06.exclusive. They will defy the high minister and increase the salary to

:09:07. > :09:09.?74,000 a year. David Cameron said he wanted the body that looks at

:09:10. > :09:13.this to think again and he has even talked about scrapping the authority

:09:14. > :09:17.if they do not do the right thing. On so many levels this is a very bad

:09:18. > :09:22.idea, particularly in the election less `` election year. First of all

:09:23. > :09:25.there are far too many MPs and if anybody and you know MPs and I know

:09:26. > :09:32.MPs, they have far more time than you or I have. I thought they were

:09:33. > :09:38.rushed off their feet? I think most of them! I would not say they do not

:09:39. > :09:43.work but there are too many of them. I feel sympathy for some, the idea

:09:44. > :09:50.of the London Place and the country a state, Mike suggestion is there

:09:51. > :09:53.should be a house for the MP in every constituency, like the White

:09:54. > :09:58.House. When you become the MP there is none of this changing fixings and

:09:59. > :10:01.buy one with one mortgage and it is not your main house, you move into

:10:02. > :10:05.that house and a few the big family might be a squash and if there are

:10:06. > :10:09.two of you you might matter `` might rattle around but that is the house,

:10:10. > :10:14.while house prices are risen outside London, we should buy it and we

:10:15. > :10:19.should watch their expenses but then if they get far fewer expenses, and

:10:20. > :10:24.there are far fewer of them, then they could get a rise. I do not

:10:25. > :10:29.think they should get a rise. Not more than nurses or doctors. If they

:10:30. > :10:34.want take 10% rise in then or other public services workers should get

:10:35. > :10:37.the same, you cannot split the public service workforce. I think

:10:38. > :10:42.most of them do a good job, most of them do the kind of stuff I could

:10:43. > :10:47.never do, even getting elected must be so tough in today's very cynical

:10:48. > :10:57.world. Yasmin, you could get elected tomorrow! Oh, I could not. But you

:10:58. > :11:03.cannot claim that ?74,000 is not enough for you when so many other

:11:04. > :11:06.public service staff, it is just not. It is not enough if you have to

:11:07. > :11:10.have two homes but I do love that you should have two have two homes.

:11:11. > :11:15.For the responsibilities they have, ?74,000 is not a huge amount of

:11:16. > :11:21.money by modern standards. If the old days MPs had made some money and

:11:22. > :11:24.then they went into politics. Now they get involved with politics at

:11:25. > :11:28.university and they go straight into politics so they have never had a

:11:29. > :11:32.job, which is a bad thing for what they have got to do, and they have

:11:33. > :11:39.never had any money to fall back on, which is also possibly bad. The

:11:40. > :11:44.whole thing needs a rethink. I am sorry, I think it is possible to

:11:45. > :11:48.live in London for ?74,000. But not if you need to have a house

:11:49. > :11:52.somewhere us. But I agree, subsidised housing for all MPs in

:11:53. > :11:57.London or that wider area around Parliament but I do not think a 10%

:11:58. > :12:02.rise is necessary. Maybe they should all have a council house in their

:12:03. > :12:06.constituency. That would cause a lot of arguments, surely, you cannot be

:12:07. > :12:14.suggesting that? I am not saying horrible council house but there are

:12:15. > :12:18.some very nice ones. Lee leave council houses for the ones that

:12:19. > :12:22.really need them. I am saying that there should be a constituency home

:12:23. > :12:25.so there is no flipping and making money out of selling one and all the

:12:26. > :12:31.rest of it and that, when you get elected, is where you go and live. I

:12:32. > :12:35.do not think people become MPs for the money. They do not. They do it

:12:36. > :12:38.for other reasons and I think those are good reasons. I just want to

:12:39. > :12:47.quickly look at the Sunday Times again. Porridge gets a Tory flavour.

:12:48. > :12:51.This is a comedy series about someone who is not habitual criminal

:12:52. > :12:59.but the man who was a former Tory cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken, he

:13:00. > :13:05.is colluding, co`writing with the man who co`wrote the thick of it, to

:13:06. > :13:09.look at his time inside, the older Tony. It could be very funny because

:13:10. > :13:13.they make a joke because if you have been to eat and you know what prison

:13:14. > :13:17.will be like. This could be very funny and since we have got all of

:13:18. > :13:21.these great actors now who have been to public schools we won't have to

:13:22. > :13:26.look very far to look to get them to behave so I think it will be very

:13:27. > :13:30.funny indeed. I am quite intrigued by powerful people when they go to

:13:31. > :13:34.prison, how, when they come out, they make a career out of what

:13:35. > :13:38.happened to them in a prison, it is just extraordinary. Ordinary people

:13:39. > :13:43.do not do that, do they? They do not say, my life for 41 days in prison.

:13:44. > :13:47.What is interesting is that I thought Jonathan Aitken wrote some

:13:48. > :14:08.very good pieces, advice to Andy Coulson, about how to make the best

:14:09. > :14:10.of it. He has learnt a lot. He also seems to have had some sort of

:14:11. > :14:13.amoral rethink. That is what prison is all about, isn't it? It does not

:14:14. > :14:14.always happen. But it seems to have done.

:14:15. > :14:20.have. That is it for The Papers for today but we will have another look

:14:21. > :14:22.at the stories on the front pages in an hour. Stay with us on BBC News.

:14:23. > :14:25.We will have the latest on the crisis in Ukraine weather have been

:14:26. > :14:47.reports on the shelling during the cease`fire.
