:00:14. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:16. > :00:20.With me are London Evening Standard's Home

:00:21. > :00:23.Affairs Editor Martin Bentham and Cassell Bryan-Low, UK Editor

:00:24. > :00:29.The Metro says there's been a huge rise in crimes linked to Tinder.

:00:30. > :00:33.Users of the app say they've been raped, robbed and blackmailed

:00:34. > :00:40.The Daily Telegraph says some of the country's highest-paid public

:00:41. > :00:41.sector workers, including civil servants and head

:00:42. > :00:46.teachers, are pushing for big pay rises to make up for pensions cuts.

:00:47. > :00:49.The Times has the story that human organs are being grown for

:00:50. > :00:55.According to the i, 4000 operations could be cancelled in Tuesday's

:00:56. > :01:01.Sean Penn's handshake with the now-captured drugslord El Chapo

:01:02. > :01:03.features on the front of the Independent.

:01:04. > :01:06.The Daily Mirror has the story that 25 former Coalition ministers

:01:07. > :01:11.are now employed in industries they oversaw while in government.

:01:12. > :01:14.The Guardian warns of a funding crisis for the Labour

:01:15. > :01:20.Party, which it says could be set to lose ?6 million under new rules.

:01:21. > :01:23.And, Cameron aims for a summer vote, the Financial Times on the EU

:01:24. > :01:43.We will start with a health story on The Times. Redundant NHS staff

:01:44. > :01:47.rehired in ?92 million farce. You assume that if someone is made

:01:48. > :01:52.redundant it is because their post no longer exists and they are not

:01:53. > :01:58.needed. Yes, this is an eye-catching story, as you say, ?90 million in

:01:59. > :02:05.redundancy being paid to staff who were immediately rehired. This is a

:02:06. > :02:08.particularly bad time forgot us, who are about to go on strike, feeling

:02:09. > :02:15.that they are being shortchanged. A bad time to them. Why is it

:02:16. > :02:17.happening? What happened was that the previous Health Secretary had

:02:18. > :02:21.reorganisation of the NHS, and abolished lots of trusts, and are

:02:22. > :02:28.therefore lots redundant. They then get rehired

:02:29. > :02:32.often by other NHS bodies that have been created in their place. That is

:02:33. > :02:33.basically what this story years, these figures all come from

:02:34. > :02:56.labour's Shadow Health one public sector authority and then

:02:57. > :03:03.rehired by another one on similar terms, the government has actually

:03:04. > :03:08.promised to cap pay-outs for people at ?90,000, which would obviously

:03:09. > :03:11.reduce the amount of money spent in these situations. But if someone is

:03:12. > :03:18.made redundant and rehired, there is nothing you can do. Just looking at

:03:19. > :03:22.the Daily Mail, no end to the witch-hunt, it says. Pounding

:03:23. > :03:30.British troops over their role in the Iraq war. With more than 1000

:03:31. > :03:34.compensation claims. But the paper says that these are compensation

:03:35. > :03:41.claims paid out where there has been no prosecution for conviction. These

:03:42. > :03:45.are civil claims, and there was a judgement in the High Court a while

:03:46. > :03:53.ago that said that the Convention of human rights could apply to actions

:03:54. > :03:57.on human rights when they shot people, and those people who were

:03:58. > :04:03.shot could bring civil claims. You can bring a civil claim even when

:04:04. > :04:09.there is not a prosecution of someone, what the mail is aiming

:04:10. > :04:13.at, and it does seem distasteful to have a lot of sympathy for those

:04:14. > :04:22.involved, given that many instances were a long time ago. It is likely

:04:23. > :04:35.they are opportunistic claims, that is what the defence is suggesting.

:04:36. > :04:38.These being applied to alleged actions being carried out overseas

:04:39. > :04:43.and dragging on for years and years hanging over these soldiers.

:04:44. > :04:53.Multiple investigations being faced sometimes. We have a lot to get

:04:54. > :05:01.through. We are going to go back to the Times and look at the EU story.

:05:02. > :05:06.David Cameron was talking about this on the Andrew Marr Show, and he said

:05:07. > :05:13.that even if he was on the losing side he wouldn't feel compelled to

:05:14. > :05:18.resign. If you remember, he said something similar and head of the

:05:19. > :05:21.Scottish Referendum. Afterwards, he admitted that actually he probably

:05:22. > :05:27.would have had to resign if he had lost out. I understand why he says

:05:28. > :05:34.he isn't sure, he has a choice in saying that, but I don't... It seems

:05:35. > :05:37.to think he can get a move on with this. Yes, and it is enraging his

:05:38. > :05:44.critics within the Conservative Party and outside it. He hasn't yet

:05:45. > :05:48.got a deal, he thinks he can get one next month even, and potentially

:05:49. > :05:55.have a referendum in June. That has always been his objective, to get it

:05:56. > :06:01.out of the way, and although it theoretically if he doesn't get a

:06:02. > :06:04.deal, he would recommend a no vote, but most of his critics think that

:06:05. > :06:07.is a fiction and he is completely committed to staying in, and it

:06:08. > :06:14.almost doesn't matter what the deal is. Today, he has admitted there is

:06:15. > :06:20.no plan for leaving, which is like threatening military action and

:06:21. > :06:24.having all your tanks and planes parked over here, and having no way

:06:25. > :06:34.of actually doing something that you have threatened to do. There is a

:06:35. > :06:38.quote here from the vote leave campaign, saying that he hasn't

:06:39. > :06:44.promised anything. Clearly, this story is going to go on. It will,

:06:45. > :06:49.and we will be following up. The Guardian, a picture story of Sean

:06:50. > :06:56.Penn meeting the then fugitive drug lord kingpin, nobody ever calls

:06:57. > :07:04.anyone kingpin in normal language, but anyway, El Chapo. This interview

:07:05. > :07:13.seems to have led to his recapture. It is a twist worthy of Hollywood.

:07:14. > :07:16.It seems that the drug lord was captured partly because of his

:07:17. > :07:23.silver screen ambitions. It is good to know that drug lords are as

:07:24. > :07:27.everyone else, and the Mexican authorities seem to have been led to

:07:28. > :07:32.him after Sean Penn went to speak to him. The White House is not happy

:07:33. > :07:38.that this happened. Not that it has happened, although I'm sure they are

:07:39. > :07:41.very happy they have got him. To be fair to Sean Penn, the question is

:07:42. > :07:51.not that he did the interview, but maybe about the exact content and

:07:52. > :07:54.methods and how he conduct it. But, as long as you are not paying them

:07:55. > :07:59.and glorifying them, journalists can do this. It casts an interesting

:08:00. > :08:04.light and insight on to this man. He talks about how he had a fleet of

:08:05. > :08:09.submarines, aeroplanes and boats, and he has supplied more drugs than

:08:10. > :08:14.anyone else in the world. He has obtained some interesting material

:08:15. > :08:18.about this man, and inadvertently it has led to his capture as well,

:08:19. > :08:25.which is apparently not as good for the would-be drugs lord. With all

:08:26. > :08:34.that wealth, that was the shirt he chose to buy! We need to cover this

:08:35. > :08:40.fast, Labour fears ?6 million funding crisis. Why is this? This is

:08:41. > :08:47.because they have union members who are already had into paying the

:08:48. > :08:49.levy, and at the moment they are automatically opted in that they

:08:50. > :08:55.will be required to physically decide to opt in. In most cases the

:08:56. > :08:59.Labour Party believes that people will choose to do so, so they will

:09:00. > :09:12.lose our lot of the money, which will leave them with a large funding

:09:13. > :09:23.hole. Look at the Metro. Crimes linked to Tinder soar. Suggestions

:09:24. > :09:27.that people who have met up with people through these applications

:09:28. > :09:32.have suffered some terrible crimes. Yes, it seems there is an increase

:09:33. > :09:37.in rape and attempted murder, the idea of people having met people who

:09:38. > :09:46.have no framework for knowing where they come from, it is a risky

:09:47. > :09:51.position. All these dating websites in the past, this is just the latest

:09:52. > :09:56.version, if you meet someone that you don't know, have no knowledge of

:09:57. > :09:59.their background, then perhaps you should be meeting them in a public

:10:00. > :10:04.place, and not in places where you will potentially be vulnerable. Many

:10:05. > :10:15.people don't take that advice, and that is why they have been given

:10:16. > :10:26.that advice by the people who run these applications. Back to the

:10:27. > :10:35.Daily Mail, we have Cheryl Cole who is likely to face a hefty divorce

:10:36. > :10:38.bill. She didn't have a prenup, and I believe she didn't have one last

:10:39. > :10:44.time around either. She has amassed a lot more wealth this time around,

:10:45. > :10:49.so while I believe her current husband is from a wealthy family,

:10:50. > :10:53.she is clearly the wealthiest. This will keep the tabloids happy and

:10:54. > :11:01.obsessed for quite a long time, I suspect. There will be infinite

:11:02. > :11:11.mileage on this. The divorce lawyers will no doubt be e-mailing their

:11:12. > :11:17.clients, suggesting they have prenuptial agreements. This idea

:11:18. > :11:21.that you are in the throes of this romance, and you think everything

:11:22. > :11:29.will last forever, it is not a very romantic idea, is it, to have such

:11:30. > :11:33.an agreement? I believe when she got married she said she thought it was

:11:34. > :11:36.disgusting. You would have thought someone who is an astute

:11:37. > :11:48.businesswoman in some ways would have been different. She might not

:11:49. > :11:54.like losing ten, but she has still got ten left. No, it wouldn't be

:11:55. > :11:59.nice, but she has worked hard for it. That is it for tonight, thank

:12:00. > :12:02.you for your company. Up next, The Film Review.
