:00:00. > 3:59:59from Roger Federer, who has big plans for next year. That is coming

:00:00. > :00:19.up in Sportsday. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:20. > :00:22.to what the papers will be With me are the economist

:00:23. > :00:26.Bronwyn Curtis and the broadcaster and former football administrator

:00:27. > :00:35.David Davies. We are going to start with the i.

:00:36. > :00:43.You will see a number of different coloured boxes of Nurofen. A blue

:00:44. > :00:49.one, an orange one, a red one, if I can zoom in, and a purple one. The

:00:50. > :00:55.suggestion is, according to the Australians, that although these

:00:56. > :00:59.boxes... You are in Australia? I am indeed. Although they are different

:01:00. > :01:05.colours, they have the same stuff in them? Yes. That is the allegation.

:01:06. > :01:08.The competition authority in Australia are saying they are

:01:09. > :01:12.exactly the same. It is misleading. Get them off the shelves. That is

:01:13. > :01:16.what is happening in Australia. But it is coming here as well. The

:01:17. > :01:22.company has said, just because that has happened in one region, it is

:01:23. > :01:25.not applicable to others. Here, the advertising standards authority is

:01:26. > :01:29.now taking a look at this. It is after they have had a series of

:01:30. > :01:32.complaints, earlier this year. It seems to have taken the Australians

:01:33. > :01:41.to pull the trigger. They are exactly the same! What does that

:01:42. > :01:48.mean? An Australian backache is different from a United Kingdom

:01:49. > :01:52.backache? A layperson like me cannot understand. It is like this. You

:01:53. > :02:01.look in your cupboard, I've got some year offence, or ibuprofen. --

:02:02. > :02:06.Nurofen. If it is not brand, it is cheaper. I better go and see if they

:02:07. > :02:11.have anything specific for backache. You go to the chemist, it is called

:02:12. > :02:17.product differentiation, I think. You can charge double for it. I go

:02:18. > :02:21.to a wonderful chemist. Because I had an illness earlier this year, I

:02:22. > :02:25.have had more medicine in the past six months than in the past 60 plus

:02:26. > :02:32.years. That is the first point. And I have got increasingly worried and

:02:33. > :02:36.depressed by, when I go and see all of these different painkillers, this

:02:37. > :02:40.story in Australia just makes things even worse. Cold cures are the same.

:02:41. > :02:44.It's only because I've got an excellent chemist in my village who

:02:45. > :02:48.says, have that and do not have that. If you don't happen to have an

:02:49. > :02:52.excellent chemist, or there is not a chemist, somebody to talk to you, or

:02:53. > :02:56.a doctor on the end of the phone or whatever, this does mean if you go

:02:57. > :03:09.into a pharmacy and UC for back pain, for a headache,

:03:10. > :03:15.it. That has been allowed, to a point, in the advertising

:03:16. > :03:19.here, they might not be breaking any laws? They might not. There have

:03:20. > :03:25.been complaints here. If you look at the back, I am sure the company has

:03:26. > :03:33.had focus groups that have said, well... Some of the public wanted?

:03:34. > :03:38.They will buy it. If it says Nurofen Express, does that mean you get

:03:39. > :03:43.cured more quickly? That is the idea, it gets absorbed into your

:03:44. > :03:47.bloodstream. And I being cynical, that is just the same... That is not

:03:48. > :03:54.something we can go into, let's not be subject of a court ruling.

:03:55. > :03:58.Britain to quit EU over migrants, we know that David Cameron is trying to

:03:59. > :04:03.negotiate a different relationship with Brussels. He has put feelers

:04:04. > :04:07.out, it is not looking too good, particularly on cutting the benefits

:04:08. > :04:12.of new migrants arriving in the UK. A new poll showing that Europe is

:04:13. > :04:17.unpopular because of the migrant crisis. Hardly a sensation. From the

:04:18. > :04:19.pro-European point of view, you have to do worry that David Cameron is

:04:20. > :04:25.actually allowing the wrong questions to be asked in this

:04:26. > :04:32.so-called negotiation. Is that cynical? It is a negotiation. It is

:04:33. > :04:40.going today, particularly later in the week. Are there bigger

:04:41. > :04:45.questions? Is Europe's safer, for the UK and its citizens, if we are

:04:46. > :04:52.in or not? That seems to be a fairly basic question, when I hear Sir Hugh

:04:53. > :04:56.Orde and former police chiefs saying that we need to be in Europe to

:04:57. > :05:00.share the important security information. To me, that seems

:05:01. > :05:03.fundamental. It is difficult to get away from the whole migrant and

:05:04. > :05:13.refugee question. So many people are trying to get in here, it has been

:05:14. > :05:16.all over the media for two years, practically, that has become a

:05:17. > :05:23.central question of the whole debate. Or, is, as David is saying,

:05:24. > :05:28.the staying in camp is allowing it to be the central question, and not

:05:29. > :05:35.making it more of a side issue? As you can see, it makes a great

:05:36. > :05:41.headline. Blame it on the migrants. People are a bit frightened by it as

:05:42. > :05:46.well. Who is coming in? Can we control them? So it is easy to play

:05:47. > :05:56.to those emotions. Either way, this particular survey in the express was

:05:57. > :06:03.by a company called Servation, I've never heard of them. They are

:06:04. > :06:06.commissioned by the Lines For Direct Democracy In Europe, an alliance of

:06:07. > :06:10.parties including Ukip. I am not saying they have not done their job

:06:11. > :06:15.properly, but I think they brought out the things that they wanted to

:06:16. > :06:20.bring out. As you say, there are other things. Europe is our biggest

:06:21. > :06:27.trading partner. We sell most of our goods to Europe. 60%. Having said

:06:28. > :06:34.that, there clearly is, according to polls, and Servation is a reputable

:06:35. > :06:39.company, no question about that. People seem to be leaning towards,

:06:40. > :06:42.according to these polls, towards a situation where perhaps they don't

:06:43. > :06:48.want to be in. You could be excused for thinking that there is a get

:06:49. > :06:52.Britain out campaign and a little bit of a staying in campaign. The

:06:53. > :06:57.biggest name that I am aware of at the moment, who is active, is Will

:06:58. > :07:00.Straw, the son of the former Foreign Secretary. Maybe they are having

:07:01. > :07:06.trouble getting the message out. Are you seeing what the bookies are

:07:07. > :07:11.saying, 63% are going to say they will vote to stay in? I listen to

:07:12. > :07:17.the bookies sometimes. Even the ones that say Louis van Gaal is going to

:07:18. > :07:25.leave... We'll not get onto that! We will talk about pension bonds,

:07:26. > :07:33.saving rates are slashed by half. These pension bonds, they were

:07:34. > :07:39.announced a year ago. One year, and I think three-year bonds. They had a

:07:40. > :07:45.great interest rates. The one-year, 2.8%. The three-year, 3%. They are

:07:46. > :07:48.not going to continue with the one-year bonds. Well, they are going

:07:49. > :07:55.to continue with them, but they are dropping the rate to 1.45%. That is

:07:56. > :08:00.not only outside the top ten, it is 0.7% below the best rate you can get

:08:01. > :08:03.for a one-year bond. We didn't hear anything about that in the Autumn

:08:04. > :08:09.Statement, did we? I didn't hear anything. Funny, that! I don't think

:08:10. > :08:15.there is an election this year, is there? Probably not. Why are you so

:08:16. > :08:21.cynical? Because, being a person of a certain age, in January of last

:08:22. > :08:26.year, the other side of the pond, I spent hours trying to get through to

:08:27. > :08:31.National Savings And Investments, to buy some of my bonds. I fought and

:08:32. > :08:42.fought, and I worked the computer in Mexico. I got some bonds. I have a

:08:43. > :08:45.view on this. This sort of retrospection... You got to be

:08:46. > :08:51.careful, it is not a retrospection, it was a one-year bond. What about

:08:52. > :08:55.the three-year? What they are saying is that when that mature as they not

:08:56. > :09:02.necessarily do that either. I think they won't. I think this... These

:09:03. > :09:09.are fantastic rates. There was no suggestion that they would carry on?

:09:10. > :09:15.At all? I suppose people felt they would. The application was? So we

:09:16. > :09:20.got suckered? That is what you are trying to say. But you got that good

:09:21. > :09:23.rate for a year. If you put it in for three years, you made it for

:09:24. > :09:26.three years. Doing all right. But only for a small amount of money.

:09:27. > :09:31.You got suckered, David, sorry! Have this bloke. He is going into

:09:32. > :09:44.space! Tim Peake. He is leaving Russia

:09:45. > :09:48.tomorrow, Kazakhstan, sorry, and he is going to the International Space

:09:49. > :09:52.Station. It's going to be a very special day for the UK. I know there

:09:53. > :09:56.will be people that are saying tonight, what a waste of money, what

:09:57. > :10:10.are we doing up there? All of the rest of it. I think it is great,

:10:11. > :10:15.Boy's Own stuff. I would love to blast off, and some people would be

:10:16. > :10:19.glad that I did, blasting off from Kazakhstan. He is achieving a

:10:20. > :10:25.lifetime ambition. I saw his mum and dad, sitting, as you do, in

:10:26. > :10:31.Kazakhstan. They were so proud. And rightly so. And credible. Is it

:10:32. > :10:40.Boy's Own stuff for you? Is Definitely Boy's Own stuff. Gil's

:10:41. > :10:44.Own stuff? The only thing that would have made a better would be a

:10:45. > :10:50.British woman going. It is a great story. We have had a lot of really

:10:51. > :10:55.depressing story so far. This is a really nice, feel-good story. Of

:10:56. > :10:56.course, it does mean that, you know, they are blasting off from

:10:57. > :11:01.Kazakhstan, it means that Britain Kazakhstan, it means that Britain

:11:02. > :11:07.is, you know, working with all of these other countries as well. That

:11:08. > :11:12.is really good. A lesson for us in Europe? I think it is a lesson for

:11:13. > :11:16.Europe. We might get in trouble for that. Many thanks for that, you will

:11:17. > :11:17.be back in one hour's time. Much more coming up. Now it is time for

:11:18. > :11:34.Sportsday. Hello I'm Olly Foster,

:11:35. > :11:37.this is Sportsday, here's what's
