which was reportedly triggered after the death of a detainee. Plans are | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
being finalised to fly Ashya King, the five`year`old British boy with a | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
brain tumour, from Spain to the Czech Republic for specialist | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
treatment. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the Independent columnist Yasmin | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Alibhai`Brown and journalist Eve Pollard. Previously we sold the MPs | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
or housing conundrum and considered a move to Scotland. The Observer | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
says Scots will be offered a "radical new deal" on more powers | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
for Holyrood to try and persuade people to vote 'no' in the | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
independence referendum. A new YouGov poll suggests support for the | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
yes vote is growing stronger. The Sunday Times claims Scotland is on | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
course to vote for independence later this month. The Mail on Sunday | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
carries a warning from the Labour leader Ed Miliband that manned | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
border posts could be introduced if Scotland votes for independence. The | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Sunday Telegraph carries a picture of the author JK Rowling ` who | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
famously donated to the Better Together campaign. Their main story | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
is that MPs are likely to get a ten percent pay rise next year. The | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Independent on Sunday also focuses on Scotland, and asks if a suggested | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
rise in support for the 'yes' vote could spell the end for the union. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
The Daily Express claims that soldiers are on standby on the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
French coast, as tensions grow about the rising number of migrants | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
gathering there. And the Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins is pictured | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
on the front of Scotland's Sunday Post, with the slightly confusing | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
tagline "I'm so proud to be Scots". I still haven't worked it out. Let's | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
begin then with the Observer. Scots to be offered radical new deal in | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
bid to save the union. New opinion polls shock written, apparently. The | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
idea of a sort of federal future is being discussed here in the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Observer. Interesting that it has just happened about ten days before | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
the vote. I think it is sad, because I think that we are Better Together, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
but you can see that the Scots obviously believe that nobody is | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
taking them seriously, because this is only happening because YouGov and | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
other polls are finding that the vote is very close, and | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
interestingly, YouGov has a reputation, because it is all on | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
computers, of catching the young people, more than anyone else. And | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
we were discussing before, you can vote when you are 16th in this | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
election, may be your first election. You are living in Bute, or | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
somewhere in Scotland, wouldn't you rather it was Edinburgh running your | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
life? I have heard of what is happening there. I think the Scots | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
might be even more cynical. Might just work, if you offer Scots the | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
right to set their own Budget, the right to have a say over what tax | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
they charge? I think whatever happens, the Scots have really got a | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
better deal at the end of this, than anything that any of them would have | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
imagined. I think whatever he did, Alex Salmond really played it well. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
I think some of them know things. Gordon Brown and John Prescott, I | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
read today or yesterday, were going to go out and fight to stay | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
together. Not very persuasive, those two. It certainly won't be now. And | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
it just seems to me that especially as was said, the Anyon Scotland feel | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
this is their moment. I think it away we have to be prepared for | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
either think `` the young in Scotland. The Sunday Times, who | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
commissioned this YouGov poll. We are led to believe that the Queen is | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
now very concerned about the idea of a breakup, and that apparently, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
according to this article, there could be some kind of constitutional | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
crisis, as we are in uncharted territory. But there is another | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
poll, commissioned by Yes Scotland, the campaign for the yes vote, | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
saying the no vote is ahead. It is going to be close. And it will | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
change every ten minute. The thing is, just a few days ago, people had | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
written off the yes camp. Because there was a lot of push going on, | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
and I think there was a bit of complacency that, this is not going | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
to happen, and is now, it is equal. It is interesting and exciting. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
People are really going to have to think. There were two polls, and | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
Alex Salmond did very well in the first, and `` two debates. It is | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
part of what is going on across the world, parts of Spain want to split | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
away from Spain, you've got all sorts of country saying we want to | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
be ourselves. And Great Britain doesn't want to be in the EU. I'm | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
very interested in how we use all these arguments to stay in one | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
union, and want to leave the other. That is true. Great Britain has a | :05:25. | :05:36. | |
much longer history, doesn't it? At the European link since the Second | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
World War `` but the European link. The reasons it happened were quite | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
cynical on both sides. The Scots wanted to get in, and they get very | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
angry when I say this. The Empire, because the English were better at | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
the Empire, and they tried a couple of jaunts in South America, and | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
failed miserably and lost a huge amount of money. So partly, it was | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
to get into the imperial adventure as not as anything else. The other | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
thing is, of course, many MPs have been Scottish or partly Scottish. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Many successful Brits have been Scots, but they usually had to come | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
to London. And this is the problem. As a nation, we are London centric. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
They have always had to come here to make it. Maybe people feel in | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Scotland, if we are our own country, they will go and develop what they | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
are going to do in Edinburgh. Getting to London from Scotland | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
might be difficult, according to the mail on Sunday. Ed Miliband says | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
they will put guards on the Scottish border. Inside they are talking | :06:41. | :06:53. | |
about the idea of a new Hadrians Wall. What are we going to have to | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
do, we will be penalised for taking goods back to England's? Will we | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
up to Scotland and talk to people in centres? Every now and then, | :07:06. | :07:43. | |
up to Scotland and talk to people in the street, in England, people say | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
they don't know who they are going to vote for, I don't know what I'm | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
going to do. In Scotland, they are passionate. It has made them | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
passionate about politics. I've got to admire them for that. It feels | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
like it matters to them. And I wish we were a bit more like that. Across | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
the country, actually, politics absolutely should be mattering a lot | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
more. But the first Hadrians Wall, when it was built, the first | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
battalion there was African. The Romans put an African battalion at | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Hadrians Wall, to keep the divide. Did you know that? I didn't know | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
that, and it worked. The Sunday Telegraph, away from the Scottish | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
referendum, MPs to get a 10% pay rise. The suggestion that they will | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
have a salary of ?74,000 per year. The argument being, for the work | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
that they do it it is not a huge amount of money, but the expenses on | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
top. The expenses on top, which they don't have to justify, I always | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
find, we are journalists, and we did use to... You don't even get them | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
any more. They were the good old days. But you had to justify every | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
penny. And I can see why millions of people feel that 74,000 is a lot. | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
And it is a lot. We are now so cynical about MPs' expenses, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
flipping houses, people making money out of property, and you have the | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
whole of the rest of the private sector having to survive on a 1% | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
rise at the moment. And I think those people in the public services | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
have been told over several years that they can get half a percent, if | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
anything, or 1%. Why are they still in this caste system? David Cameron | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
has said there is no way this should happen. He has talked about | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
disbanding the organisation responsible. That would make | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
politicians in an election year so unpopular, nobody would vote for | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
anybody. Turnout is low enough as it is. I think he is right. People | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
might say it is all very well to him because he is a millionaire, what | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
about the others who have not got that kind of money, I still think | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
?74,000 is enough, and if that's not enough, and if you want to put it | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
up, you have to be fair to everybody. Staying with the Sunday | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Telegraph, one more story I want to talk about. Bookshops say non. A | :10:12. | :10:33. | |
memoir has been written about France Francois Hollande by his mistress. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
Some bookshops have sold out in Paris. Some refuse to sell it. | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
Fronts is traumatised, across party lines they have condemned her. But I | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
want to know what she says about Francois Hollande's first partner, | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
the mother of his many children. Does she feature in this pity me, | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
sorry me. I have not read it, sadly, but I look forward to it, because we | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
all like a bit of a gossip. But I think that she goes on about how he | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
says that he cares desperately about the poor, but then called them | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
toothless ones. He wasn't terribly interested in scores of people in | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
public. It is not going to do much for his popularity. He has the most | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
popularity of any president in France. It is down to about 18% `` | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
police popularity. If it goes any lower it will sink into being as | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
channel. It won't help him, and a woman scorned? The only thing that | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
is interesting. The helmet that he wore to go and visit his mistress, | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
has sold out. Clearly it had its purposes. Man, men, men. The helmet | :11:53. | :12:03. | |
was very bitter. You always bring out such juicy titbits. It will be | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
sold out here no doubt. That's it for The Papers this hour. Thank you | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
