:00:00. > :00:00.their second defeat of the season. And to find out where the ball that

:00:00. > :00:22.won the Ryder Cup is being safely kept. That is after the papers.

:00:23. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:26. > :00:28.bringing us tomorrow. With me are Financial Consultant, Louise Cooper,

:00:29. > :00:49.and Deputy Editor of the Daily Express, Michael Booker. Tomorrow's

:00:50. > :00:51.front pages starting with: The Independent says the Chancellor's

:00:52. > :00:54.benefits freeze is a calculated gamble to attract Conservative ` and

:00:55. > :00:57.Ukip ` supporters, but it will affect many people in work. George

:00:58. > :01:00.Osborne's warning to big technology companies about their tax is the

:01:01. > :01:03.lead for the FT. The Express says doctors will be required to work

:01:04. > :01:05.seven days a week, under Conservative plans. The Telegraph

:01:06. > :01:08.has the same story: it says the policy will cost hundreds of

:01:09. > :01:12.millions of pounds. The Metro leads on the plans to pay benefits through

:01:13. > :01:16.smart cards to ensure the money is not spent on alcohol or cigarettes.

:01:17. > :01:20.Images from the Hong Kong protests fill the front page of the Guardian

:01:21. > :01:23.but its main story is the benefits freeze. And the Times focuses on the

:01:24. > :01:29.plans for GP surgeries to open at the weekend. And the Mirror leads on

:01:30. > :01:44.the benefit freeze So let's begin. Michael, not entirely surprising. It

:01:45. > :01:52.is a tribal old thing. This time, they have gone for giving George

:01:53. > :02:01.Osborne a bit of a beating. As is their right. It talks about the

:02:02. > :02:10.fresh assault on the poor. They talk about cutting pay`outs, but it is

:02:11. > :02:20.more of a freeze. It is exactly as you would imagine the Mirror would

:02:21. > :02:27.treat this. Many of these people, 10 million families, will pick up the

:02:28. > :02:31.Mirror and agree. Whereas some of us, with the more right`wing papers,

:02:32. > :02:36.would give it a different treatment. That is what we would read. The

:02:37. > :02:43.leaders would think it is a good thing. `` the readers. He said it,

:02:44. > :02:48.and he has had to tackle it. He wants to get Labour talking about

:02:49. > :02:53.this. It was how would they tackle the deficit? He wants to bring them

:02:54. > :03:00.out and have a bit of a street fight. An interesting point, the

:03:01. > :03:02.papers in the left seemed to be giving more prominence to George

:03:03. > :03:10.Osborne than the papers on the right? The right`wing papers are

:03:11. > :03:15.moving on to what is expected from the Tory conference tomorrow. The

:03:16. > :03:20.problem is that the deficit message, the austerity measures, is boring.

:03:21. > :03:24.It is not what people want to hear. And yet it is still a massive

:03:25. > :03:28.problem. As I was saying an hour a go, we have had one parliament of

:03:29. > :03:33.austerity, we are going to have another Parliament give the Tories

:03:34. > :03:38.are re`elected, even if Labour are really did, it will still be

:03:39. > :03:42.relatively austere. So it will take at least a decade to get to a

:03:43. > :03:48.position where we might have a budget surplus, when that means we

:03:49. > :03:52.can stop playing down the debt. It will be leased ten years before we

:03:53. > :03:57.get to a state we can pay down these billions of pounds worth of debt

:03:58. > :04:00.that has been created. `` paying. People do not want to hear it any

:04:01. > :04:06.more. The other thing that is forgotten, when we say let us just

:04:07. > :04:11.tax the rich, if you look at income tax, the top 1% of earners in this

:04:12. > :04:19.country are paying about one third of the income tax, that is the

:04:20. > :04:23.highest it has been in history. So, it is a brutal message. Of course we

:04:24. > :04:27.all prefer to live in a society that can pay out more in welfare, but I

:04:28. > :04:37.am afraid the numbers are important, and the numbers are still

:04:38. > :04:43.leak. They have been in saying they polling well on the economy. They

:04:44. > :04:48.want to say we have managed this austerity better than the Labour

:04:49. > :04:53.Party could, gives a chance again. Letters we want to be guiding, would

:04:54. > :04:59.continue the theme. They are taking a similar line to the Mirror. `` The

:05:00. > :05:06.Guardian. I am struck by one line, it gets into the political dilemma,

:05:07. > :05:17.the candour about the difficult spending choices ahead will gain

:05:18. > :05:24.Osborne could us `` praise. That is the difficult judgement he has two

:05:25. > :05:28.phase. `` face. While they have UKIP breathing down their neck, and they

:05:29. > :05:32.are worried about the traditional conservative voters who would back

:05:33. > :05:39.this kind of policy, moving away to youth. He has to balance that. As it

:05:40. > :05:45.goes on, there is worry from them that they are abandoning the

:05:46. > :05:51.compassionate voters. There is this balancing act. In terms of the

:05:52. > :05:57.conference, they have got the difficult message out of the way,

:05:58. > :06:02.and it opens the message for... I think Boris Johnson has a speech.

:06:03. > :06:07.them smiling at the end. There is a them smiling at the end. There is a

:06:08. > :06:13.great quote from Angela Merkel, it has been repeated in the past. It

:06:14. > :06:20.says Europe accounts for just over 7% of the world's population. 25% of

:06:21. > :06:27.the world's economy, and yet 50% of global social welfare bending.

:06:28. > :06:35.Osborne love this quote so much he repeated it. `` spending. It goes to

:06:36. > :06:37.the heart that it is not just a UK problem but that the lack of the UK

:06:38. > :06:43.competing in the global economist. We have to compete globally and a

:06:44. > :06:48.part of that is that we cannot just raise taxes, that is not the

:06:49. > :06:53.solution. There is also mentioned in that piece in reference to what he

:06:54. > :06:57.said about technology,, he did not name names, but we kind of knew was

:06:58. > :07:05.talking about Apple and Google. That is the other side. Essentially what

:07:06. > :07:14.he is saying is that he has cut corporation tax, he wants to attract

:07:15. > :07:20.companies but we expect you to pay and health benefits. Low tax is

:07:21. > :07:22.fine, but we expect you to pay tax. Let us move forward to The Times,

:07:23. > :07:32.they are looking forward in terms of their lead, Cameron tells the GPs to

:07:33. > :07:41.work weekends. There will be a pledge tomorrow making GPs work

:07:42. > :07:48.seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. It will top ?4 billion. There is the to

:07:49. > :07:52.be better access to family doctors. Interestingly, it will also bring

:07:53. > :07:57.back named GPs for all patients. It was not in the Telegraph story we

:07:58. > :08:01.looked at Prevacid. This is what people want to know, they want to be

:08:02. > :08:05.able to go about the same GP, someone they have built up a

:08:06. > :08:14.relationship with. You can store your secrets to them. `` looked at

:08:15. > :08:22.in the past. That is what they are trying to achieve that through this.

:08:23. > :08:28.?400 million due across the whole of the Contra, that is not a lot to

:08:29. > :08:34.achieve. `` country. It sounds good, it is a great thing to be saying

:08:35. > :08:41.during a conference just before an election, they have been trialling

:08:42. > :08:48.it, it has cost ?50 million. Whether it will work across the country, I

:08:49. > :08:55.do not know. It is a bit of a vote winner. It is a bit slow isn't it?

:08:56. > :09:06.Sunday trading in supermarkets happened like 30 years ago, so it

:09:07. > :09:09.has been a bit slow. But no GPs have got this 1950s style of working that

:09:10. > :09:17.has never changed. It is extraordinary that is happening only

:09:18. > :09:22.now. It is... I do not know why it has taken so long. They are talking

:09:23. > :09:27.about the fact that it is Cameron and the Tories talk about the NHS,

:09:28. > :09:34.something which labour and Miliband world banking everything on. ``

:09:35. > :09:41.labour. Now the Tories are having a go. Letters they with The Times,

:09:42. > :09:46.take us to the Hong Kong coverage. `` let us. Hong Kong protesters

:09:47. > :09:51.challenged Beijing elite. The challenged Beijing elite. The

:09:52. > :09:57.Guardian has some emotional pictures on the front page of these

:09:58. > :10:03.protesters, close`ups of faces. But The Times has chosen to go with the

:10:04. > :10:11.picture of a barely dressed woman in address. Clearly the picture like

:10:12. > :10:18.the picture of a skinny model. `` in a dress. But those pictures are a

:10:19. > :10:24.part for and told the story. `` powerful. I prefer the coverage of

:10:25. > :10:28.The Guardian entirely, actually. There is an interesting quote from

:10:29. > :10:31.one of the protesters, because the question now is where does it end

:10:32. > :10:36.up? Did they leave or does China react? Are they going to leave

:10:37. > :10:41.peacefully or does China bring the tanks in? There is a lovely quote:

:10:42. > :10:46.We have to be careful not to invite a backlash, any civil disobedience

:10:47. > :10:52.has to be proportioned. A certain time, we have to stop. These

:10:53. > :10:58.protesters realise they are in a different position protesting

:10:59. > :11:03.against raging, than if they were protesting against Westminster. It

:11:04. > :11:10.is interesting to hear that a limit of realism, from protesters who

:11:11. > :11:17.would not ordinarily offer that sort of limit. Everyone has the memories

:11:18. > :11:25.of they know what the Chinese government is capable of when it is

:11:26. > :11:30.being pushed too far. `` Louise Cooper Square. They just want proper

:11:31. > :11:37.democracy and they feel it is not being given. `` Tianamen Square.

:11:38. > :11:39.People were in swimming goggles to protect themselves, but they are

:11:40. > :11:47.doing it peacefully at the moment. You hope it stays that way and

:11:48. > :11:50.nothing goes wrong. Hopefully they will get their way. But at the same

:11:51. > :11:54.time they are being realistic and they say hopefully China gets the

:11:55. > :12:05.message, and we will see what happens from the. The coverage of

:12:06. > :12:12.The Guardian, some have adopted the brother `` the umbrellas revolution,

:12:13. > :12:18.to protect themselves from The Sun. And teargas. And you saw them hold

:12:19. > :12:23.up their smartphones to create a glittering light. Sort of like a

:12:24. > :12:33.light when you went to a Tom Jones concert. I am proud to say I have

:12:34. > :12:37.been to a Tom Jones concert. They would not be as much underwear being

:12:38. > :12:46.thrown around at this one. I imagine not. They are also singing. It shows

:12:47. > :12:53.that these things get carried all over the world. Some of the more

:12:54. > :12:59.strict people in the Chinese government may not see that. They

:13:00. > :13:07.are watching on, but do they do more than watch it at this point? The

:13:08. > :13:12.British and governments of America have all said something. But China

:13:13. > :13:16.is saying back off, this is a problem. There is this geopolitical

:13:17. > :13:21.tension everywhere in the world, and now it is in Asia as well. We have a

:13:22. > :13:25.couple of minutes to look at the front pages of the daily toga.

:13:26. > :13:33.Louise Cooper, we will start with you on this. `` The Daily Telegraph.

:13:34. > :13:45.How can they look so amazing half the days of partying? I am a massive

:13:46. > :13:50.fan of George Clooney. You can now admit that you almost put it on your

:13:51. > :13:56.front page. She looks fantastic, doesn't she? Not so much. She has

:13:57. > :13:59.finally taken off her sunglasses. Every single day since Friday we

:14:00. > :14:04.have been digging it will go away, and then you get these pictures that

:14:05. > :14:10.look as though they have both walked off a film set. She has had the

:14:11. > :14:15.editor being there all week. It is not a normal wedding. You spend

:14:16. > :14:20.?3000 a night to stay in a beautiful hotel. They have a great quote, it

:14:21. > :14:25.says that is that then. No more chance of marrying George Clooney,

:14:26. > :14:31.said a Belgian woman in her 30s as she dangled her feet in the canal.

:14:32. > :14:34.Do newspapers make of these quotes up? Because I think that could

:14:35. > :14:38.secretly be from a daily to about journalist sent over there to cover

:14:39. > :14:45.at. And did that Belgian woman have a realistic chance? Or had there

:14:46. > :14:47.been a connection? Bortles also striking is that the actual

:14:48. > :14:52.ceremony, the formal wedding it self, took 40 minutes. But

:14:53. > :14:59.everything else has been going on for days. George Clooney has always

:15:00. > :15:03.been quite reserved, but he has done very well. He has known everyone is

:15:04. > :15:06.going to be watching any ways and we are going to see some fantastic

:15:07. > :15:11.pictures in the magazines when that comes up. Then you will get the

:15:12. > :15:14.kissing pictures as well. As an added value should be grateful for

:15:15. > :15:21.Clooney for lining up your front page. I had a cheap wedding in

:15:22. > :15:25.Italy, and it included the honeymoon. It did teach you a on

:15:26. > :15:30.that generous note, time has beaten us. They queued to both. `` thank

:15:31. > :15:59.you to you both. Hello, this is Sportsday, live from

:16:00. > :16:00.the BBC Sport Centre. Stoke piled the pressure on Newcastle. They lose
