:01:57. > :02:13.Welcome to the look ahead to what after the papers.

:02:14. > :02:20.Welcome to the look ahead to what the morning papers will have full us

:02:21. > :02:24.tomorrow. With me, Jennie Bond and Matthew sired. We begin with the

:02:25. > :02:29.express. It says Ukip has thrown down the gauntlet to the bullet or

:02:30. > :02:34.parties with its pledge to scrap inheritance tax. The Metro leads on

:02:35. > :02:38.an alleged attempt by a 37`year`old woman to kill her mother using a

:02:39. > :02:45.deadly poison echoing a plotline from the hit TV series Breaking Bad.

:02:46. > :02:48.The Sun features the same story, it says Southwark Crown Court heard how

:02:49. > :02:52.the daughter tried to poison her mother after watching the show. The

:02:53. > :02:58.front page of the Guardian gets it since British and by `` from Andy

:02:59. > :03:04.water hole as it reports that Tesco overstated its profits. The Daily

:03:05. > :03:07.Mail has the same story. It says the retailer faces its worst crisis in

:03:08. > :03:10.its history of claims that its bosses cooked the books, and the

:03:11. > :03:17.Daily Telegraph reports that its bosses cooked the books, and the

:03:18. > :03:22.Daily Telegraph reports as David Cameron and President Obama are due

:03:23. > :03:27.to meet in New York on Tuesday. We begin with the Financial Times.

:03:28. > :03:36.Interesting story. Leading into the speech tomorrow by Ed Miliband, he

:03:37. > :03:41.plans mansion tax to fund the NHS. It appears to be the one area where

:03:42. > :03:46.labour is ahead of the Tories in terms of public opinion. He's making

:03:47. > :03:51.a virtue of it. He plans to cash in on it. I'm quite disappointed if his

:03:52. > :03:58.big idea, as the FT says, or the Labour Party's totemic policy, a

:03:59. > :04:03.wonderful word, I like that, if it stood to make policy is a mansion

:04:04. > :04:07.tax, an idea they still in from the Lib Dems. I'm not that impressed but

:04:08. > :04:11.that is what he says, you want to introduce a mansion tax on houses

:04:12. > :04:18.worth more than ?2 million. And that would rope in, they think, ?1.2

:04:19. > :04:23.billion a year, which they used to say, would counteract the 10p tax

:04:24. > :04:30.rate but now they've changed their mind, they think the NHS is more

:04:31. > :04:36.sexy so they will put it in there. That is cynical. Let me turn to

:04:37. > :04:41.Matthew. I will also send cynical. Projections for the shortfall in the

:04:42. > :04:44.NHS funding until the next Parliament is between ?6 billion and

:04:45. > :04:57.?30 billion and there's mansion tax will raise less than ?2 billion. Not

:04:58. > :05:04.enough to make up that shortfall. Paid by rich people. They may not

:05:05. > :05:07.even be that rich, it could cost Labour in London marginals, in

:05:08. > :05:11.electoral terms because this will hit people who haven't got a lot of

:05:12. > :05:17.income, older people with expensive homes, yet not much money and they

:05:18. > :05:21.want like this. ?2 million is an awful lot of money to most people in

:05:22. > :05:26.this country. To have a property worth that. Suppose the tax is 1% on

:05:27. > :05:31.the value of the Hong Kong that's ?20,000 a year. An elderly person

:05:32. > :05:36.with no income coming in will have to find this, so I think the devil

:05:37. > :05:43.will be in the detail. It's not enough to make up the shortfall in

:05:44. > :05:47.NHS spending, but when you think of the size of the deficit it's a

:05:48. > :05:51.trivial proportion. They will have to come up with serious proposals to

:05:52. > :05:57.raise money or cut spending. That it is politics. As Jennie said, there's

:05:58. > :06:03.an election around the corner, it's a populist move. It could work. I

:06:04. > :06:07.think it could. I'm fundamentally not against it, it's reasonably

:06:08. > :06:14.sensible. We are quite disparaging sometimes. Every little bit adds up

:06:15. > :06:24.to the hole that we have to go on saving. On the point of elderly

:06:25. > :06:32.people, as rich and cash poor work, Ed Balls has said that there will be

:06:33. > :06:37.a full and sensitive way of protecting those who are asset rich

:06:38. > :06:41.and cash poor. They roll it into inheritance tax. Avoided in the

:06:42. > :06:44.short`term, it will mount up. That's the only way they will get around

:06:45. > :06:52.it, I think. Onto the Guardian. Matthew. ?2 billion in shares has

:06:53. > :06:57.been wiped off Tesco after it admits overstating its profits. Some tins

:06:58. > :07:06.of soup on the front of the newspaper. Anti`war whole thing.

:07:07. > :07:13.Quite artistic and creative. If they have deliberately deceived the

:07:14. > :07:18.markets, that's a scandal. If, on the other hand, it was inadvertent,

:07:19. > :07:25.that's less of a significant story. But the other part of this is the

:07:26. > :07:30.ailing state of Tesco as a company. I don't think that matters. People

:07:31. > :07:34.are saying it is getting worse. It is getting better. Its customer

:07:35. > :07:37.services getting better and its advertising is pretty good. Its

:07:38. > :07:44.problem is better competition. Waitrose have got better faster. The

:07:45. > :07:48.discount supermarkets have been getting better. So relatively it is

:07:49. > :07:53.worse, yet that is good for the consumer! If consumers are leaving

:07:54. > :07:58.Tesco, that's good. The only people it is bad for our people owning

:07:59. > :08:01.shares, they will hopefully diversify anyway and if Tesco goes

:08:02. > :08:07.bankrupt within a 12 months other people would come in. We fear

:08:08. > :08:11.bankruptcy. We think it's terrible! If only the banking market was as

:08:12. > :08:17.competitive as the supermarket market. It'll be interesting to find

:08:18. > :08:21.out if it was incompetence, negligence, or just sinister if it

:08:22. > :08:32.was deliberate. How can you get so wrong. A quarter of ?1 billion. In a

:08:33. > :08:38.guy would know if ?10 went missing! I would too, I would be any less if

:08:39. > :08:42.I missed ten quid! The problem is with many markets that you have

:08:43. > :08:45.monopolies, essentially rigged markets. Within five minutes of

:08:46. > :08:50.where I live we have Waitrose, Sainsbury's, whole foods, Marks

:08:51. > :08:54.Spencer is, all competing fiercely. Great for the consumer. It shouldn't

:08:55. > :08:59.be terrified about a retailer having problems. 99% of the company that

:09:00. > :09:05.were big 100 years ago have gone bankrupt. That is the way capitalism

:09:06. > :09:10.works. Absolutely. Yet at the same time, the Square mile, business

:09:11. > :09:14.works on you being as good as your word. And if the suggestion is that

:09:15. > :09:17.Tesco is overstating the amount of cash it has been pulling in, the

:09:18. > :09:24.whole edifice falls down, does it not? 2`mac that is the key issue. If

:09:25. > :09:28.this has been deliberate it fits a wider narrative of big corporate

:09:29. > :09:34.institutions misleading the market, capitalism, like any system, only

:09:35. > :09:37.works on trust. This is the problem with capitalism. Those on the left

:09:38. > :09:47.of the spectrum, might suggest that the problem. Honesty has massive

:09:48. > :09:52.repercussions. I think tomatoes about Tesco's is good value! It's a

:09:53. > :09:55.bit sinister that apparently some employees are being asked to hand

:09:56. > :10:08.over their laptops and phones. It's getting dodgy. They want to check

:10:09. > :10:11.who'd knew what and when. Iraqi air strikes. We know that President

:10:12. > :10:20.Obama will be talking to David Cameron. Climate change will be on

:10:21. > :10:24.the agenda. According to the Daily Telegraph, they have indeed been

:10:25. > :10:30.talking, David Cameron is going to recall Parliament shortly, according

:10:31. > :10:36.to sources that the Daily Telegraph has spoken to, and within days the

:10:37. > :10:40.UK will be joining in air strikes in Iraq, which I find worrying but

:10:41. > :10:47.perhaps inevitable, given what has been going on. The Daily Telegraph

:10:48. > :10:50.says that they will be face`to`face talks between David Cameron and the

:10:51. > :10:55.Iranians president which hasn't happened since the revolution in

:10:56. > :10:59.1979. That would be interesting because the bottom line is, whatever

:11:00. > :11:03.strategy will have two tackle Islamic State, whatever it is called

:11:04. > :11:09.these days, it's got to involve Iran because of the influence of the Shia

:11:10. > :11:14.majority in Iraq. Absolutely. And their influence in Syria and

:11:15. > :11:18.elsewhere. My sense is that air strikes won't be anything like

:11:19. > :11:23.enough. Tony Blair made an intervention today, like him or not,

:11:24. > :11:26.he's probably right that the only way this fundamentalist nihilistic

:11:27. > :11:32.force will be stopped is by feet on the ground. President Obama has made

:11:33. > :11:37.that clear, it just won't be American feet! He will fear man's ``

:11:38. > :11:46.finance the Peshmerga or the Kurdish. They will understand that

:11:47. > :11:49.not just air strikes will do it. People don't understand the

:11:50. > :11:54.consequences if troops did go on the ground, whether the neighbouring

:11:55. > :11:58.states or if we went in with them. Because the really sinister thing

:11:59. > :12:03.coming out of this is that Isil want Western troops on the ground so they

:12:04. > :12:08.can present this in PR terms of the caliphate being invaded by Crusaders

:12:09. > :12:11.again. This will ignite more inflamed attitudes among Sunni

:12:12. > :12:15.extremists and this is why they are goading the West with executions.

:12:16. > :12:21.One thing that really worries me is that it all fits into a wider

:12:22. > :12:23.strategic narrative where they are trying to manipulate us into

:12:24. > :12:31.performing actions when we don't know what the consequences will be.

:12:32. > :12:36.Our leaders have said no Western Bulldogs on the ground. The

:12:37. > :12:41.Telegraph, one in two Buddhist children already for school at the

:12:42. > :12:45.age of five? Here we go again, measuring what our children are up

:12:46. > :12:50.to, they should be playing around and not having their intellect

:12:51. > :12:56.measured. There has been research from the University College London

:12:57. > :13:01.that says that the problem is children are not getting enough

:13:02. > :13:05.cuddles or being read to. There are developing as much as they should be

:13:06. > :13:10.but they have been measured if they can be counted 20, but do not do

:13:11. > :13:24.that, just let them learn through playing. Just how then? I do agree

:13:25. > :13:35.with you. You are too cool for school! I would agree with you. The

:13:36. > :13:45.thing about... About some of this research is when America came up

:13:46. > :13:48.with powerful interventions, often the patterns of disadvantage or

:13:49. > :13:57.established and this research is important. I would agree that

:13:58. > :14:02.solutions are not better. The express, inheritance tax abolished,

:14:03. > :14:10.The Daily Express crusade. The UKIP election promise, Matthew? Throwing

:14:11. > :14:14.down the gauntlet? It is absolutely extraordinary, three years ago they

:14:15. > :14:18.were flat tax, libertarian, and since they have got more popular

:14:19. > :14:23.appeal amongst the voters, they have started saying they want potential

:14:24. > :14:28.NFS, scrubbing the bedroom tax and these other things are coming in.

:14:29. > :14:35.They want the highest marginal rate of income tax to be 40%. It is a

:14:36. > :14:40.mismatch. I want some other credible organisation to look at the details.

:14:41. > :14:53.It is populist, but how will they make it work? Refinished? Quite. You

:14:54. > :14:57.are to cool for school! We will be back later for another look at the

:14:58. > :15:02.headlines. Stay with us because we will have much more on Ed

:15:03. > :15:06.Miliband's 's beach at the Labour Party conference, where he is

:15:07. > :15:11.expected to signal a boost to NHS spending if his party wins the next

:15:12. > :15:22.election. `` speech. Now, time for the sport.

:15:23. > :15:24.Hello and welcome to Sportsday ` I'm Eilidh Barbour.

:15:25. > :15:32.The two Ryder Cup teams have arrived at Gleneagles ahead of the start
