:00:00. > :00:00.season. And find out where the ball that won the Ryder Cup is being

:00:00. > :00:11.safely kept. That is all staying in 15 minutes after the newspapers. ``

:00:12. > :00:17.that is all in sports day, in 15 minutes, after the newspapers.

:00:18. > :00:19.Welcome to the look ahead to what the newspapers will be bringing us

:00:20. > :00:25.tomorrow morning. Louise Cooper and Michael Booker

:00:26. > :00:34.joining us. We will begin with the Independent,

:00:35. > :00:38.the Chancellor's benefits freeze is a calculator gamble, to attract

:00:39. > :01:24.conservative and Ukip but it will affect many people in work.

:01:25. > :01:31.That is a flavour of the front pages, dipping into some of them

:01:32. > :01:33.now. We will kick off with the Independent, a lot of newspapers

:01:34. > :01:41.concentrating on the Conservative Party conference. Independent is one

:01:42. > :01:44.of them. Osborne ultimatum, give us a flavour of the coverage. He spoke

:01:45. > :01:48.in the morning, a number of the right`wing papers have not put him

:01:49. > :01:51.on the front pages but it is interesting that both the Guardian

:01:52. > :01:56.and the Independent, the left`wing newspapers, have done. Both quite

:01:57. > :02:01.critical pieces, not surprisingly. As the Independent says, Osborne

:02:02. > :02:05.ultimatum, two`year freeze in working age benefits, saving 3

:02:06. > :02:10.billion. Critics question whether it is the fairest way to fix the

:02:11. > :02:17.deficit. What I would say about this, yes, the Coalition Government

:02:18. > :02:21.has brought down the deficit. That is the difference between spending

:02:22. > :02:26.and taxation each year. But, debt is still going up. It is going up quite

:02:27. > :02:35.rapidly. This year, we are expected to create ?100 billion of new UK

:02:36. > :02:39.Government debt. In fact it is going to take decades before we get to a

:02:40. > :02:45.surplus where we can begin to pay back that debt. We saw some figures

:02:46. > :02:51.last week, which showed that in fact, the deficit was worse than

:02:52. > :02:53.expected. The economic recovery is not benefiting the nation 's

:02:54. > :03:00.finances as much as many people think. It is brutal and harsh, but

:03:01. > :03:05.he is... This is the state of the financial affairs of the country...

:03:06. > :03:09.They are still dire. What about the political risk he is taking?

:03:10. > :03:18.Independent has hinted at that. They have had problems in the past few

:03:19. > :03:21.weeks. With Ukip, defections. We are tough on the deficit and good on the

:03:22. > :03:27.economy, they are pulling very well on the economy, we are told. It is

:03:28. > :03:31.key that he wants to keep on talking about the deficit. It is a gamble,

:03:32. > :03:39.as the Independent and the Guardian are still saying. It is gloomy news,

:03:40. > :03:51.conference is about things in the future, Dodo X `` Dodo eggs and

:03:52. > :03:58.unicorn tears! Ed Miliband forgot the deficit last week, George

:03:59. > :04:03.Osborne, he made a joke about that. It is core Conservative voters, as

:04:04. > :04:05.it says in the Independent. He says the measure will be popular with

:04:06. > :04:10.natural conservatives thinking of drifting off. He has the Ukip

:04:11. > :04:16.voters, the conservative voters that he has gone forward this. I work the

:04:17. > :04:22.express, I think our readers, conservative, this will appeal to

:04:23. > :04:29.them. He does look like action man! I think, maybe, a thinner

:04:30. > :04:33.Chancellor, austerity Britain! This haircut, I think that he has had a

:04:34. > :04:38.preconference haircut, they have taken a little bit too much. You

:04:39. > :04:42.know when they go to the hairdresser and you just want a good value

:04:43. > :04:46.haircut that lasts a long time. I think he should have gone to the

:04:47. > :04:52.hairdresser a couple of weeks ago. Looks like he has left room for

:04:53. > :04:57.growth. Roman centurion look, Roman emperor, George Clooney had that. I

:04:58. > :05:00.did not get the impression George Clooney was having an austerity

:05:01. > :05:03.wedding! LAUGHTER Continuing the theme of the

:05:04. > :05:07.Chancellor, take us to the front of the Financial Times. They have

:05:08. > :05:11.decided to focus upon what he has said about big companies and how

:05:12. > :05:17.much tax they have. Talking about the 3.3 billion which will hit

:05:18. > :05:20.poorer families. The little guy, but also, careful to have a go at the

:05:21. > :05:25.big guy as well, Osborne taking on big tech groups over tax avoidance.

:05:26. > :05:30.It has already been dubbed Google tax. Having a go large

:05:31. > :05:34.multinationals, some companies have gone to extraordinary lengths to pay

:05:35. > :05:41.little or no tax. He says, if you abuse the tax system, you abused the

:05:42. > :05:44.trust of the British people. Stories about the large companies coming

:05:45. > :05:51.over here, and not paying a great deal of tax. All of the companies

:05:52. > :05:55.that grow up in this country. Did not mention Google by name but we

:05:56. > :06:02.know what they are getting at. It is great, it is a great quote, low

:06:03. > :06:06.taxes but low taxes that are paid. This requires international

:06:07. > :06:09.cooperation. It is not just happen by yourself. Therefore it is quite

:06:10. > :06:14.good news that the European Commission is expected to unveil

:06:15. > :06:17.today details of a case against Ireland, because of their very

:06:18. > :06:23.favourable tax treatment for Apple. The trouble, when Ireland was going

:06:24. > :06:26.bust, and required bailing out from the rest of Europe, that would have

:06:27. > :06:31.been the moment to say to them, look, your local tax rate, the

:06:32. > :06:36.dealings you have, make it an further the rest of Europe. At that

:06:37. > :06:43.time, the powers that be decided it should not happen. It is very

:06:44. > :06:46.difficult to impose that kind of fiscal mandate from centrally

:06:47. > :06:51.organised Brussels or anywhere else. In a difficult economic environment,

:06:52. > :06:56.countries compete with each other to attract companies. Without

:06:57. > :07:04.international cooperation, very difficult to crack down on Google,

:07:05. > :07:06.Apple, Amazon... Google, Apple, Twitter and Microsoft declined to

:07:07. > :07:12.comment... All of them looking at their shoes when the phone call came

:07:13. > :07:14.in! One line in here... Looking ahead to the speech from David

:07:15. > :07:20.Cameron, halfway down the first column, talking about the freeze on

:07:21. > :07:23.benefits. Attacked by Labour as unfair, but there was speculation

:07:24. > :07:26.that the Prime Minister David Cameron would use his speech to

:07:27. > :07:32.offer a tax cut for the same working families... Take with one hand, give

:07:33. > :07:36.with the other... Little sweeties, during conference season. Obviously,

:07:37. > :07:40.he has a speech coming up on Wednesday, he has got to say

:07:41. > :07:43.something positive, he would like to go out with a bang, particularly

:07:44. > :07:47.with Ukip hovering around, looking for more defections. It could get

:07:48. > :07:54.that, could be the thing every B remembers afterwards. Quite a Tory

:07:55. > :07:56.idea, cutting taxes to give people their personal responsibility,

:07:57. > :08:03.rather than tax them and give their money back on welfare. Doctors to

:08:04. > :08:07.open seven days a week, care when it is needed, pledge the Tories.

:08:08. > :08:11.Another reference to what we are hearing out of Birmingham. This is

:08:12. > :08:17.what is expected to be said tomorrow. The express looking

:08:18. > :08:21.forward as a newspaper. Not looking backward, like the Guardian and the

:08:22. > :08:28.Independent. Must be a brilliant editor, who could that be? Not me!

:08:29. > :08:37.LAUGHTER Makes a lot of sense, if you work,

:08:38. > :08:40.how on earth can you go and see a GP without taking time off work?

:08:41. > :08:46.Especially if you have got to travel a long way and your GP is near your

:08:47. > :08:50.home... But you commute to work. My husband commutes 90 minutes into

:08:51. > :08:54.work, and he cannot afford that time to take off work, he cannot afford

:08:55. > :09:00.the travel time either. This makes a lot of sense but I question the cost

:09:01. > :09:04.at ?400 million. Difficult kids as well, when we have tried to a son or

:09:05. > :09:09.daughter into a GP, we are told there is an appointment next week,

:09:10. > :09:13.that is never good enough. Lots of people then put pressure on accident

:09:14. > :09:23.and emergency. This is what they are trying to avoid. Pressure on AMD

:09:24. > :09:33.departments. `` A They will also introduce Skype sessions. It is

:09:34. > :09:37.known as telecare! LAUGHTER People, older people, they will not

:09:38. > :09:41.want to speak with a doctor on Skype, while he's watching Downton

:09:42. > :09:45.Abbey on a Sunday night... They want to go to see their doctor. ?400

:09:46. > :09:51.million does not sound like an awful lot of money. You would expected to

:09:52. > :09:56.be more money. I know that GPs get paid good wages, also it is the

:09:57. > :10:01.out`of`hours care. So many instances in my personal life, friends that I

:10:02. > :10:05.know, it makes a big difference, that you see the doctor that knows

:10:06. > :10:11.you. Because the human body is quite a compensated thing. Often... It is

:10:12. > :10:16.an off chance remark that will get to the right diagnosis. That

:10:17. > :10:20.requires time in front of a doctor that knows you. I would like to hope

:10:21. > :10:22.that these will not just be out`of`hours care, provided by

:10:23. > :10:27.doctors that do not speak English terribly well. The timetable would

:10:28. > :10:30.be included in the party election manifesto, if that leads to a

:10:31. > :10:37.Conservative victory, we are talking about money going into the NHS to

:10:38. > :10:42.ensure all week access by 2020. Hopes and pledges once again. The

:10:43. > :10:46.Telegraph, the front page, obviously covering that, but on the right`hand

:10:47. > :10:51.side, extremists will have Facebook and Twitter vetted by police.

:10:52. > :10:55.Theresa May will have her speech vetted by the Home Secretary, laying

:10:56. > :10:59.out plans to do various things. We have the terrorist threat level

:11:00. > :11:04.raised recently. Post on Facebook and Twitter will have to be approved

:11:05. > :11:08.in advance. That sounds like a good idea because it is a new front in

:11:09. > :11:17.the war on terrorists, social media, it has been a relatively recent

:11:18. > :11:20.thing. Obviously we have seen IS and other organisations using it to get

:11:21. > :11:28.recruits. It will be interesting to see how they can police it, it seems

:11:29. > :11:32.unpoliced bill at the moment. Judges banning broadcasting and protesting

:11:33. > :11:38.in certain places... The government does not have a great track record

:11:39. > :11:42.in IT project! One or two expensive ones have gone wrong. MPs have

:11:43. > :11:48.barely taken to Twitter and those that have done, have got themselves

:11:49. > :11:52.in trouble! LAUGHTER I'm sceptical about what they can

:11:53. > :11:56.actually achieve. Clearly, Theresa May will stand up in her glamorous

:11:57. > :12:03.shoes and she will aim for the top job in her speech. Staying with the

:12:04. > :12:11.Telegraph, final minute, world has lost half its animals in 40 years.

:12:12. > :12:16.Very careless(!) LAUGHTER Deforestation, destruction...

:12:17. > :12:24.Hunting... Just throw it out there... Slightly controversial

:12:25. > :12:29.view. I have a 5 `year`old son... I'm always slightly worried when

:12:30. > :12:34.told it is a controversial view. My son likes is dinosaurs, he has been

:12:35. > :12:39.to a lot of exhibitions. There has been a handful of mass extinctions

:12:40. > :12:42.on the planet in the past. We are up to 90% of the Earth 's species have

:12:43. > :12:46.been worked out entirely. In fact, it was the dinosaur mass extinction

:12:47. > :12:52.which allowed the rise of the mammal, and for human beings to

:12:53. > :12:58.evolve and dominate the planet! So I just wonder... Maybe, if this is the

:12:59. > :13:01.sixth mass extinction, the demise of human beings, perhaps there could be

:13:02. > :13:09.another super being created in the next 100 million news! LAUGHTER

:13:10. > :13:13.Shall we politely move on... ? Go back to the story, ignore me

:13:14. > :13:18.entirely! Super beings knocking about, this could be fantastic! The

:13:19. > :13:24.WWF are saying it is a serious thing, living planet report. Blaming

:13:25. > :13:28.humans. Forests cut down, sees overfished. It is what we have been

:13:29. > :13:33.told over and over again. It is not seem to be an alternative. Perhaps

:13:34. > :13:38.in one hour 's time we will have more thoughts on that. Maybe not. By

:13:39. > :13:40.that time I'm going to be a super being!
