:00:00. > :00:00.architects using visualisation technology to build cities of the
:00:00. > :00:21.future. Welcome to look ahead to what the
:00:22. > :00:25.papers will bring us tomorrow. I'm joined by the author and journalist
:00:26. > :00:31.Rachel Shapley and by Matthew Green, who is also a journalist and
:00:32. > :00:37.an author as well. `` Rachel Shapley. Some of the front pages.
:00:38. > :00:43.This is The Independent, which like many leads on Chancellor George
:00:44. > :00:49.Osborne's plans to cut tax on inherited pensions. The Financial
:00:50. > :00:52.Times reports on an allegation that Apple is rocketing from illegal tax
:00:53. > :00:57.deals with the Irish Government. The Daily Telegraph talks about Osborne
:00:58. > :01:03.scrapping what the paper calls the death tax. The Guardian looks at
:01:04. > :01:08.panic that there could be more defections from the Conservatives to
:01:09. > :01:13.UKIP. Also a breast cancer drug which could extend life. The Daily
:01:14. > :01:22.Mail has an exclusive interview with brain tumour patient Ashya's
:01:23. > :01:25.parents. The Mirror reports on the actress Lynda Bellingham's fight
:01:26. > :01:30.with her terminal cancer. The paper says she wants to have one last
:01:31. > :01:33.Christmas with her family. And in The Sun, George Clooney shows off
:01:34. > :01:38.his new bride. They married in Venice yesterday.
:01:39. > :01:42.George Osborne's announcement this evening dominates many of the papers
:01:43. > :01:48.tomorrow. The Independent headline, Osborne offers tax sweetener as
:01:49. > :01:52.Tories seek to limit damage. I wonder if Mr Cameron's first words
:01:53. > :01:57.tomorrow morning when he reads the papers will be, that is more like
:01:58. > :02:00.it. Yes, they have got off to an horrendous start with the
:02:01. > :02:07.resignation and the defection of a Tory MP to UKIP. It is a lurching
:02:08. > :02:11.start to say the least. And of course, George Osborne is going to
:02:12. > :02:13.try to change the focus to the economy where actually, the
:02:14. > :02:17.Conservatives can point to some improvement in recent months and
:02:18. > :02:22.really try to change the mood music and the whole conference. Said the
:02:23. > :02:26.pledge is that inherited pensions for those under the age of 23 if you
:02:27. > :02:34.are a grandchild or child will no longer have to pay 55% tax. There is
:02:35. > :02:37.not a lot of doubt that this will make life easier for the people who
:02:38. > :02:41.are going to be affected by it but it is interesting that Osborne, who
:02:42. > :02:47.has an appalling tax record, he has failed by his own objectives, to fix
:02:48. > :02:52.the economy, we have seen the longest possible recovery... He
:02:53. > :02:56.doesn't say that, of course. He doesn't but this is a way of
:02:57. > :03:03.avoiding all of that. One of the reasons people are suffering so much
:03:04. > :03:07.will be provided some relief by this is because the cost of living is so
:03:08. > :03:12.astronomical. So all those hard earned savings are worth less than
:03:13. > :03:18.they should be. So this is quite a convenient way for Osborne to avoid
:03:19. > :03:21.that conversation with this kind of crowd`pleaser to kick`off the
:03:22. > :03:26.conference. The Daily Telegraph refers to it as the death tax. It
:03:27. > :03:32.was hugely unpopular. It may win over some of the voters but there
:03:33. > :03:36.will be people cautious. I was talking to a pensions expert
:03:37. > :03:40.earlier. Because the next Government and the one after that and the one
:03:41. > :03:45.after that have to inherit this scrap of the so`called death tax, as
:03:46. > :03:50.The Daily Telegraph put it. And it may well appeal to some people, but
:03:51. > :03:54.probably it is other issues that really worrying voters at the
:03:55. > :03:59.moment, immigration, even perhaps membership of the EU, and those are
:04:00. > :04:03.the issues that UKIP has mounted its challenge on. So there is a big
:04:04. > :04:05.question over whether this will be enough to persuade a lot of
:04:06. > :04:10.undecided voters. There is an interesting point in The Daily
:04:11. > :04:12.Telegraph hear about a polling survey by Lord Ashcroft which shows
:04:13. > :04:16.that Labour is headed for a comfortable majority at the next
:04:17. > :04:19.election, which is more pretty devastating news for the
:04:20. > :04:26.Conservatives. The Telegraph goes into bat on a story just underneath.
:04:27. > :04:30.I could campaign to leave the EU, once Mr Cameron. So he is now
:04:31. > :04:37.raising the bar because of UKIP, it seems. Yes, this is a UKIP policy,
:04:38. > :04:43.about pledging to have a referendum about staying in the EU, and now we
:04:44. > :04:47.are seeing the Conservative Party slightly dilutes or hedge its bets
:04:48. > :04:51.on this, but again, is this something that voters care about? Is
:04:52. > :04:57.this the most pressure and issue for voters? Or is it just a game being
:04:58. > :05:01.played by political parties? I suspect most voters are not overly
:05:02. > :05:06.preoccupied with the EU. They are when it comes to immigration. And
:05:07. > :05:10.one of the things that he wants to re`negotiate with the EU is a limit
:05:11. > :05:14.on migration from within the EU. That is why you keep winning
:05:15. > :05:18.support. I have travelled around the UK in the last year to small towns
:05:19. > :05:23.researching my book and there is a lot of concern about stories about
:05:24. > :05:25.Polish people turning up to the local factory and taking all the
:05:26. > :05:29.jobs because they were ten times harder than everyone else, and I
:05:30. > :05:33.think it is a real issue out in the regions. Here in London, we are
:05:34. > :05:37.predictable with the fact that when you walk in virtually to any coffee
:05:38. > :05:41.shop and someone is serving but they are not from Britain and have just
:05:42. > :05:46.moved here, but out in the regions of England, people are worried. But
:05:47. > :05:54.it is how you friend the question. If you say, how argue `` it is how
:05:55. > :05:57.you frame the question, do you say, are you worried about migration, or
:05:58. > :06:01.do you say what are you worried about being worse off than you were
:06:02. > :06:05.before the economic crash? That is the real reason people are worried
:06:06. > :06:09.about migration and if all those problems were addressed, I suspect
:06:10. > :06:14.immigration would not be such a big deal, if the economy was not such a
:06:15. > :06:17.great concern. The Telegraph says he has promised to renegotiate
:06:18. > :06:21.Britain's membership of the EU, including greater powers to limit
:06:22. > :06:27.migration. That is UKIP territory. If he fails to do that, he would be
:06:28. > :06:30.the one that could lead the campaign for Britain to leave the European
:06:31. > :06:35.Union altogether. That is a bold statement. I think the headline
:06:36. > :06:38.might be a bit of a stretch if it is coming from the quote he made to the
:06:39. > :06:44.Andrew Marr show this morning when he said, if I thought it was not in
:06:45. > :06:50.Britain's interests to be in the EU, I would not argue for us to be
:06:51. > :06:52.in it. There is a lot of ambiguity. You can tell there is going to be a
:06:53. > :06:57.Conservative conference this week because of the sheer amount of
:06:58. > :07:00.Conservative pledges in the headlines, including one on the
:07:01. > :07:08.front page of the Metro, three more years of wages misery. Oh. Right.
:07:09. > :07:13.Exactly. This is a story based on a report from Ernst Young, a survey
:07:14. > :07:16.saying basically wages will stagnate for the next three years, which
:07:17. > :07:21.reinforces your point to some extent, about the fact that this
:07:22. > :07:25.recovery, while some of the data is looking better, hasn't really
:07:26. > :07:30.trickled down to the average person. It is not a recovery for most
:07:31. > :07:34.people. It is based on an overheated housing market. It is completely
:07:35. > :07:39.fraudulent and set up to fail and as we can see from this survey, most
:07:40. > :07:41.people in real terms are still struggling and suffering and
:07:42. > :07:47.wondering which of the parties it is going to address `` is going to
:07:48. > :07:52.address that, and at the moment, none of them are seen beastie
:07:53. > :07:55.tackling the issue issue. We had a warning from Ed Balls at the Labour
:07:56. > :08:02.Party conference that it would get worse before better. There is not
:08:03. > :08:09.one party offering what the majority population is calling for, which is
:08:10. > :08:11.less austerity, which is a re`nationalisation of utility
:08:12. > :08:18.companies, things that not of these parties is presenting as an option.
:08:19. > :08:29.The Financial Times, crackdown in Hong Kong and `` as China's worry
:08:30. > :08:36.grows. This is Beijing's plan to put forward a list of people who can run
:08:37. > :08:42.for the election in Hong Kong. Yes, future protests taking part in Hong
:08:43. > :08:47.Kong over... Pressing for electoral reforms, and it revives memories of
:08:48. > :08:51.1989, Tiananmen Square and so on. Where is is going to go? It seems
:08:52. > :08:54.that the students and activists are digging in and the police are
:08:55. > :09:24.getting more heavy`handed. There is a lot of concern.
:09:25. > :09:27.Excuse me, could you tell me the way to...?
