29/09/2014 The Papers

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

won the Ryder Cup is being safely kept. That is after the papers.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. With me are Financial Consultant, Louise Cooper,

and Deputy Editor of the Daily Express, Michael Booker. Tomorrow's

front pages starting with: The Independent says the Chancellor's

benefits freeze is a calculated gamble to attract Conservative ` and

Ukip ` supporters, but it will affect many people in work. George

Osborne's warning to big technology companies about their tax is the

lead for the FT. The Express says doctors will be required to work

seven days a week, under Conservative plans. The Telegraph

has the same story: it says the policy will cost hundreds of

millions of pounds. The Metro leads on the plans to pay benefits through

smart cards to ensure the money is not spent on alcohol or cigarettes.

Images from the Hong Kong protests fill the front page of the Guardian

but its main story is the benefits freeze. And the Times focuses on the

plans for GP surgeries to open at the weekend. And the Mirror leads on

the benefit freeze So let's begin. Michael, not entirely surprising. It

is a tribal old thing. This time, they have gone for giving George

Osborne a bit of a beating. As is their right. It talks about the

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

more of a freeze. It is exactly as you would imagine the Mirror would

treat this. Many of these people, 10 million families, will pick up the

Mirror and agree. Whereas some of us, with the more right`wing papers,

would give it a different treatment. That is what we would read. The

leaders would think it is a good thing. `` the readers. He said it,

and he has had to tackle it. He wants to get Labour talking about

this. It was how would they tackle the deficit? He wants to bring them

out and have a bit of a street fight. An interesting point, the

papers in the left seemed to be giving more prominence to George

Osborne than the papers on the right? The right`wing papers are

moving on to what is expected from the Tory conference tomorrow. The

problem is that the deficit message, the austerity measures, is boring.

It is not what people want to hear. And yet it is still a massive

problem. As I was saying an hour a go, we have had one parliament of

austerity, we are going to have another Parliament give the Tories

are re`elected, even if Labour are really did, it will still be

relatively austere. So it will take at least a decade to get to a

position where we might have a budget surplus, when that means we

can stop playing down the debt. It will be leased ten years before we

get to a state we can pay down these billions of pounds worth of debt

that has been created. `` paying. People do not want to hear it any

more. The other thing that is forgotten, when we say let us just

tax the rich, if you look at income tax, the top 1% of earners in this

country are paying about one third of the income tax, that is the

highest it has been in history. So, it is a brutal message. Of course we

all prefer to live in a society that can pay out more in welfare, but I

am afraid the numbers are important, and the numbers are still

leak. They have been in saying they polling well on the economy. They

want to say we have managed this austerity better than the Labour

Party could, gives a chance again. Letters we want to be guiding, would

continue the theme. They are taking a similar line to the Mirror. `` The

Guardian. I am struck by one line, it gets into the political dilemma,

the candour about the difficult spending choices ahead will gain

Osborne could us `` praise. That is the difficult judgement he has two

phase. `` face. While they have UKIP breathing down their neck, and they

are worried about the traditional conservative voters who would back

this kind of policy, moving away to youth. He has to balance that. As it

goes on, there is worry from them that they are abandoning the

compassionate voters. There is this balancing act. In terms of the

conference, they have got the difficult message out of the way,

and it opens the message for... I think Boris Johnson has a speech.

them smiling at the end. There is a them smiling at the end. There is a

great quote from Angela Merkel, it has been repeated in the past. It

says Europe accounts for just over 7% of the world's population. 25% of

the world's economy, and yet 50% of global social welfare bending.

Osborne love this quote so much he repeated it. `` spending. It goes to

the heart that it is not just a UK problem but that the lack of the UK

competing in the global economist. We have to compete globally and a

part of that is that we cannot just raise taxes, that is not the

solution. There is also mentioned in that piece in reference to what he

said about technology,, he did not name names, but we kind of knew was

talking about Apple and Google. That is the other side. Essentially what

he is saying is that he has cut corporation tax, he wants to attract

companies but we expect you to pay and health benefits. Low tax is

fine, but we expect you to pay tax. Let us move forward to The Times,

they are looking forward in terms of their lead, Cameron tells the GPs to

work weekends. There will be a pledge tomorrow making GPs work

seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. It will top ?4 billion. There is the to

be better access to family doctors. Interestingly, it will also bring

back named GPs for all patients. It was not in the Telegraph story we

looked at Prevacid. This is what people want to know, they want to be

able to go about the same GP, someone they have built up a

relationship with. You can store your secrets to them. `` looked at

in the past. That is what they are trying to achieve that through this.

?400 million due across the whole of the Contra, that is not a lot to

achieve. `` country. It sounds good, it is a great thing to be saying

during a conference just before an election, they have been trialling

it, it has cost ?50 million. Whether it will work across the country, I

do not know. It is a bit of a vote winner. It is a bit slow isn't it?

Sunday trading in supermarkets happened like 30 years ago, so it

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

has never changed. It is extraordinary that is happening only

now. It is... I do not know why it has taken so long. They are talking

about the fact that it is Cameron and the Tories talk about the NHS,

something which labour and Miliband world banking everything on. ``

labour. Now the Tories are having a go. Letters they with The Times,

take us to the Hong Kong coverage. `` let us. Hong Kong protesters

challenged Beijing elite. The challenged Beijing elite. The

Guardian has some emotional pictures on the front page of these

protesters, close`ups of faces. But The Times has chosen to go with the

picture of a barely dressed woman in address. Clearly the picture like

the picture of a skinny model. `` in a dress. But those pictures are a

part for and told the story. `` powerful. I prefer the coverage of

The Guardian entirely, actually. There is an interesting quote from

one of the protesters, because the question now is where does it end

up? Did they leave or does China react? Are they going to leave

peacefully or does China bring the tanks in? There is a lovely quote:

We have to be careful not to invite a backlash, any civil disobedience

has to be proportioned. A certain time, we have to stop. These

protesters realise they are in a different position protesting

against raging, than if they were protesting against Westminster. It

is interesting to hear that a limit of realism, from protesters who

would not ordinarily offer that sort of limit. Everyone has the memories

of they know what the Chinese government is capable of when it is

being pushed too far. `` Louise Cooper Square. They just want proper

democracy and they feel it is not being given. `` Tianamen Square.

People were in swimming goggles to protect themselves, but they are

doing it peacefully at the moment. You hope it stays that way and

nothing goes wrong. Hopefully they will get their way. But at the same

time they are being realistic and they say hopefully China gets the

message, and we will see what happens from the. The coverage of

The Guardian, some have adopted the brother `` the umbrellas revolution,

to protect themselves from The Sun. And teargas. And you saw them hold

up their smartphones to create a glittering light. Sort of like a

light when you went to a Tom Jones concert. I am proud to say I have

been to a Tom Jones concert. They would not be as much underwear being

thrown around at this one. I imagine not. They are also singing. It shows

that these things get carried all over the world. Some of the more

strict people in the Chinese government may not see that. They

are watching on, but do they do more than watch it at this point? The

British and governments of America have all said something. But China

is saying back off, this is a problem. There is this geopolitical

tension everywhere in the world, and now it is in Asia as well. We have a

couple of minutes to look at the front pages of the daily toga.

Louise Cooper, we will start with you on this. `` The Daily Telegraph.

How can they look so amazing half the days of partying? I am a massive

fan of George Clooney. You can now admit that you almost put it on your

front page. She looks fantastic, doesn't she? Not so much. She has

finally taken off her sunglasses. Every single day since Friday we

have been digging it will go away, and then you get these pictures that

look as though they have both walked off a film set. She has had the

editor being there all week. It is not a normal wedding. You spend

?3000 a night to stay in a beautiful hotel. They have a great quote, it

says that is that then. No more chance of marrying George Clooney,

said a Belgian woman in her 30s as she dangled her feet in the canal.

Do newspapers make of these quotes up? Because I think that could

secretly be from a daily to about journalist sent over there to cover

at. And did that Belgian woman have a realistic chance? Or had there

been a connection? Bortles also striking is that the actual

ceremony, the formal wedding it self, took 40 minutes. But

everything else has been going on for days. George Clooney has always

been quite reserved, but he has done very well. He has known everyone is

going to be watching any ways and we are going to see some fantastic

pictures in the magazines when that comes up. Then you will get the

kissing pictures as well. As an added value should be grateful for

Clooney for lining up your front page. I had a cheap wedding in

Italy, and it included the honeymoon. It did teach you a on

that generous note, time has beaten us. They queued to both. `` thank

you to you both. Hello, this is Sportsday, live from
