:00:12. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:16. > :00:17.With me are the political commentator

:00:18. > :00:23.Jo Philips, and Nigel Nelson, politics editor of Sunday People.

:00:24. > :00:28.The Observer reports that leading Conservative Eurosceptics have

:00:29. > :00:31.branded David Cameron's attempts to reform

:00:32. > :00:35.the UK's relationship with the EU as a farce, and warned that the new

:00:36. > :00:41.National Living Wage will undermine efforts to cut immigration.

:00:42. > :00:43.The Mail on Sunday leads with the resignation

:00:44. > :00:46.of the chairman of the influential campaign group Conservative Way

:00:47. > :00:49.Forward - a victim, it says, of the bullying row sparked by the apparent

:00:50. > :00:56.The Sunday Express carries the news of the death of Jimmy Hill on

:00:57. > :01:00.its front page, while also detailing the number of household guests the

:01:01. > :01:06.The Independent on Sunday says as many as 50,000 children

:01:07. > :01:09.in the UK are being home-schooled, and warns that many may be

:01:10. > :01:15.Women will be allowed to take part in frontline combat within months,

:01:16. > :01:17.according to what the Sunday Telegraph says are radical

:01:18. > :01:38.Let us begin. Who wants to start? The Observer, the story that has a

:01:39. > :01:43.familiar feel to it. We are getting back to yet another what is the

:01:44. > :01:51.Labour Party going to do with Jeremy Corbyn? I think it is being slightly

:01:52. > :01:58.reheated. Quite an important person saying things today. It is a

:01:59. > :02:03.speechwriter and strategic for Tony Blair who is now a headmaster, and

:02:04. > :02:09.he wrote an article for the Observer today, which is a mouthpiece to get

:02:10. > :02:13.to the Labour Party. He says the demise of new Labour and the

:02:14. > :02:16.election of Jeremy Corbyn will kill the Labour Party unless there is

:02:17. > :02:22.something, a new progressive project. Where have we heard that

:02:23. > :02:27.before? We heard it before with Tony Blair, Mendelssohn, and it is a

:02:28. > :02:35.devastating critique of Labour's use and values. I think it is more

:02:36. > :02:40.interesting than the stuff about Jeremy Corbyn, where he says Tony

:02:41. > :02:44.Blair squandered the chance to wrap the Tories out of power and ensure

:02:45. > :02:49.the 21st-century was a Labour century. That is perhaps more

:02:50. > :02:52.instructive. He says labour under Jeremy Corbyn is to parties, and

:02:53. > :02:56.there is no way they can come together. There are the Jeremy

:02:57. > :03:05.Corbyn supporters, and then the rest, a moderates. Not happy. The

:03:06. > :03:12.last thing the Labour Party want is to have another election. The

:03:13. > :03:19.Parliamentary party are determined not to do that. But it seems to be

:03:20. > :03:24.is a gamble on Jeremy Corbyn getting fed up and quitting, and there is no

:03:25. > :03:32.suggestion he will do that at the moment. He seems to be loving the

:03:33. > :03:36.job. He will stay at least until 2020, I think the man himself is

:03:37. > :03:42.saying. I believe that. I think he is enjoying himself. His smile has

:03:43. > :03:49.gotten a little bit ago. He does not smile often, but he is a bit more

:03:50. > :03:55.cheerful. -- a little bigger. Labour MPs can't do much about him. They

:03:56. > :04:00.can nudge a leadership challenge, pass a vote of no-confidence, but

:04:01. > :04:04.they cannot keep him off the ballot paper, so the membership and letting

:04:05. > :04:12.in again. It comes back to the same thing. Do you want to be in power,

:04:13. > :04:20.would you want to carry on being ideological leap perfect? I work for

:04:21. > :04:26.the Liberal Democrats, we are much more comfortable opposition. Let's

:04:27. > :04:32.move on to the Telegraph. The headline says it all. Women soldiers

:04:33. > :04:33.to go into combat. We think we know what this is

:04:34. > :04:40.new determination it should happen. The idea is that will happen to get

:04:41. > :04:45.there we thought. The Telegraph is talking about within the next few

:04:46. > :04:51.months, rules will change allowing women to serve on the front line. To

:04:52. > :04:56.my mind, it seems entirely sensible. If you decide to join the army or

:04:57. > :04:59.navy or air force or whatever, I would think it is not the whole

:05:00. > :05:06.range of jobs to be there for you. Maybe you want to be a medic, but if

:05:07. > :05:11.you are a bloke medic and want to serve on a front-line, you can.

:05:12. > :05:16.Women can't. In the age of equality, they must have the right to do that

:05:17. > :05:21.job if they want to. It seems to be eminently sensible, and it has taken

:05:22. > :05:25.too long to come around. This is David Cameron are going to Ministry

:05:26. > :05:30.of Defence to do this, apparently. Are you happy with this's yes. It

:05:31. > :05:39.seems anchors but if you join the force you cannot go into combat. --

:05:40. > :05:45.bankers to me. Some people say it is not such a good plan. A lot of

:05:46. > :05:49.people do think that. They need a good reason. Women are police

:05:50. > :05:54.officers and go into extremely enters situations risking their

:05:55. > :06:01.lives. There are an endurance crews, fire crews. -- endurance. We are

:06:02. > :06:08.talking about picking up guns and shooting. Isn't it just about

:06:09. > :06:14.employment rights? It is a special drug, but the fact that it is part

:06:15. > :06:18.of the job, should not both genders be allowed to do it equally if they

:06:19. > :06:25.choose? It is like saying if you want to work with a bus company, you

:06:26. > :06:33.can only be a bus conductor. I know they don't exist any more. There are

:06:34. > :06:41.plenty of women drivers. But once upon a time, people said women could

:06:42. > :06:46.not concentrate in traffic. Drivers facing tougher fines in the Daily

:06:47. > :06:52.Telegraph, if they want to cut mobile phone accidents. I agree. I

:06:53. > :06:56.am sick and tired of seeing people drive with a mobile phone in their

:06:57. > :07:02.hands. This is saying drivers who flout the law will be fined ?150,

:07:03. > :07:08.and will have no points added to their licence. This is not

:07:09. > :07:14.hands-free, this is holding it in your hand. Lorry drivers will see

:07:15. > :07:19.the maximum number of points double up to six, and others will face a

:07:20. > :07:25.driving ban. This is coming from the government and is going out to

:07:26. > :07:32.consultation next year after not very many, 500 accidents, but it is

:07:33. > :07:38.that level of irresponsibility that people think the car is then living

:07:39. > :07:44.room. It is comfortable, it is nice, they have navigation, they can play

:07:45. > :07:49.music, and they are in to other drivers. You only have to stand

:07:50. > :07:57.outside a school and see that people ignore parking restrictions are now

:07:58. > :08:03.on their phone. -- immune to other drivers. I am happy for a crackdown

:08:04. > :08:06.on this. But you are talking about banning them. I would like to see

:08:07. > :08:13.that. It makes a nonsense of the that. It makes a nonsense of the

:08:14. > :08:19.justice system. People go to jail for longer for murder than

:08:20. > :08:23.burglary. The same thing must apply for drink-driving where it is in

:08:24. > :08:29.immediate then when you are caught. If we decide about phones are up

:08:30. > :08:35.there with drink driving and are as bad, they should say so and have the

:08:36. > :08:39.identical penalty. I was reading headlines that the police say we do

:08:40. > :08:44.not have enough officers to enforce this. That will be a difficulty.

:08:45. > :08:48.There is a perfectly valid argument to say, do you want to use police

:08:49. > :08:54.resources, who are already stretched, and other it now

:08:55. > :08:59.important things, but a short and sharp campaign of instant burns or

:09:00. > :09:09.an instant six points on your licence, that... -- bans. It is the

:09:10. > :09:14.degree of the offence. A survey showed recently if you are using a

:09:15. > :09:19.mobile phone while driving, you are more distracted than if you are

:09:20. > :09:23.drunk. In which case, they should change the offence and make it the

:09:24. > :09:29.same. Let's move on. Sorry about that. Good to hear a vigorous

:09:30. > :09:37.expression of views. The front page of the Sunday express. A very famous

:09:38. > :09:45.face, to me Hill. Dying at the age of 87. -- Jimmy Hill. I remember him

:09:46. > :09:51.mostly for much of the day, and reading the obituaries that of, at

:09:52. > :09:57.today, it was starting to find out how much he did for football. --

:09:58. > :10:03.match of the day. They say he created the modern game of English

:10:04. > :10:12.football. Things like doing union work when he took on the maximum

:10:13. > :10:17.wage which was at one time ?20. Now they get ?20 per second. That was

:10:18. > :10:22.who did yours, and he paid the way that be raised. He introduced three

:10:23. > :10:29.points for a win, making the game more interesting. It seems so

:10:30. > :10:36.obvious now, and yet obviously he was the pioneer for this whole

:10:37. > :10:39.thing. And football pundits, he got retired football players into the

:10:40. > :10:44.studio, which we take for granted now. It was his idea. He changed the

:10:45. > :10:50.way we broadcast and cover football in the same way Cliff Morgan did. I

:10:51. > :10:56.think it was in charge of outside forecasts. He was part of the fabric

:10:57. > :11:04.of our Saturday afternoon on Saturday evenings on the television.

:11:05. > :11:06.-- outside broadcasts. It is sad someone so vigorous and inventive

:11:07. > :11:17.and pioneering should be struck down with Alzheimer 's disease and uses

:11:18. > :11:27.lie. A lovely men. He grew a beard, didn't he? It was a trademark in a

:11:28. > :11:33.way. He recognised one of our sports experts were saying that football is

:11:34. > :11:38.part of entertainment, entertainment for the whole family. That was his

:11:39. > :11:43.biggest contribution. Yes, and it was things like back when he first

:11:44. > :11:49.started on match of the day, he had to see the game and then fly back by

:11:50. > :11:53.helicopter to do it. That was part of the entertainment value, as well

:11:54. > :12:01.as introducing games on Friday. One must throw. A lot of papers talking

:12:02. > :12:07.about this. -- one last story. There is a picture of Cambridge that could

:12:08. > :12:15.be spring. What is going on? Who knows? I have people coming for

:12:16. > :12:22.drinks and I am thinking about not serving motorail or stop it is dark

:12:23. > :12:33.at 3:30 PM, but it is as warm as summer. -- mulled wine. It is

:12:34. > :12:39.exceptionally mild, and it is playing havoc with guidance. It is

:12:40. > :12:45.incredibly wet. ! Gardens. People in Korea and Scotland know that. It is

:12:46. > :12:49.playing havoc with farming. Vegetables are rotting in the

:12:50. > :12:54.ground. Gardens open to the public have nothing to show in March

:12:55. > :13:05.because the daffodils will have been and gone.

:13:06. > :13:12.I was a bit of a climate change sceptic for a while. All you have to

:13:13. > :13:15.do is look at the climate has become to know there is something really

:13:16. > :13:17.happening out there. We have to leave it there.
