:00:00. > :00:00.snooker. And it has been a good day for

:00:00. > :00:00.England's cricketers on day one of the third test. That is in 15

:00:07. > :00:16.minutes after The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:17. > :00:19.to what the the papers will be With me are Tim Collins,

:00:20. > :00:25.former Conservative MP and Managing Director

:00:26. > :00:26.of Bell Pottinger Public Affairs, We will just get

:00:27. > :00:43.of the Guardian. Three of the men who took part in

:00:44. > :00:54.Three of the men who took part last Easter. If we gets nicked we

:00:55. > :01:01.can hold our heads up. It is like a story from way back. It reminds me

:01:02. > :01:04.of a story from one of the 1950s or 1960s East end. I would be surprised

:01:05. > :01:09.if they do not make a film I took if they do not make a film I took

:01:10. > :01:18.this and Ray Winstone with play on it. The darker side is that one of

:01:19. > :01:27.the figures was associated with a crime boss. What is remarkable is

:01:28. > :01:36.that people in the 60s and 70s were involved in a stunning claim. They

:01:37. > :01:47.have given themselves nicknames. There is the governor, Billy the

:01:48. > :01:51.Fish, the Ben Martin. Its roots be right not to see them as a bunch of

:01:52. > :02:00.cuddly old grandad. Their records go back a long way. And basil is still

:02:01. > :02:06.had the keys? Where is the ?9 had the keys? Where is the ?9

:02:07. > :02:07.million? A lots of people who had property in those city deposits

:02:08. > :02:16.boxes would like to know. Let us boxes would like to know. Let us

:02:17. > :02:16.talk about IAAF. Lord call was declared fit to clean up athletics

:02:17. > :02:29.but was he part of the problem? Fitness is getting closer to him by

:02:30. > :02:37.the report. The first report World Anti-Doping Agency said there

:02:38. > :02:44.had been systematic corruption on the part of Russia. It also said

:02:45. > :02:50.that the then President, Lamine Diack, was operating a system which

:02:51. > :02:56.involved in extortion and so on. The second report today sees it was not

:02:57. > :03:00.Lamine Diack by himself, people on the council must have known. Lord

:03:01. > :03:05.call has been in position here for eight years. The inference seems to

:03:06. > :03:09.be he should have known yet within the same breath the person who did

:03:10. > :03:18.the report said he would be the best person to clear it. He has only been

:03:19. > :03:26.President since August. He is the best person to deal with it. I know

:03:27. > :03:31.dealings in what he did with the dealings in what he did with the

:03:32. > :03:36.London Olympics he is effective and a clean and honest man. He should be

:03:37. > :03:41.going to talk about pensions next. going to talk about pensions next.

:03:42. > :03:51.Two very different treatments of the same story. The Daily Express giving

:03:52. > :03:51.as a positive look at it. Millions get pensions boost. But also the

:03:52. > :04:00.Daily Telegraph on pensions. Unpick the story. It is

:04:01. > :04:06.right. What is happening, and that right. What is happening,

:04:07. > :04:09.tells us something about the age profile of the leadership of The

:04:10. > :04:15.Papers, if you are over the age of 43 you will be better off as a

:04:16. > :04:17.result of the changes the Government has taken through. Most people who

:04:18. > :04:21.read The Daily Express are above the read The Daily Express are above

:04:22. > :04:30.age of 43 and four then it is good news. The Telegraph also has an

:04:31. > :04:33.above average readership. If you are under the age of 43 you would be

:04:34. > :04:38.worse off. There are lots of reasons for that. The system has been

:04:39. > :04:39.designed in that way. But you cannot ignore that politicians are very

:04:40. > :04:45.careful and calculating and the careful and calculating and the

:04:46. > :04:52.point is that people over the age of 43 vote in greater numbers of people

:04:53. > :04:54.under the age of 43. All of that is true but The Express and talking to

:04:55. > :05:01.its own audience sees this as good news. But the small print is seen

:05:02. > :05:06.2030. You have got to make it to 2030. Obviously if you do not

:05:07. > :05:11.survive to reach pension age there's not a lot the Government can about

:05:12. > :05:15.it. Young people need to start voting otherwise policy is going to

:05:16. > :05:25.be designed for the people that do vote. I hope if you are 43 you will

:05:26. > :05:33.make it until 2030. Let us look at the FT. NHS faces

:05:34. > :05:38.loss of senior staff as pension cap pushes doctors to retire. Why are

:05:39. > :05:44.they being pushed? George Osborne has decided to drop the tax relief

:05:45. > :05:49.on pensions, the amount you can accrue from a pension. It went to

:05:50. > :05:54.2.5 million. It will be 1 million from April onwards. The main thesis

:05:55. > :05:57.of the story is that there are a number of well-paid people who have

:05:58. > :06:03.been working for a long time inside the NHS so they have established

:06:04. > :06:04.these pots. You can retire at 55. They are suggesting such as the

:06:05. > :06:14.state within the NHS with people will think, I will jump ship

:06:15. > :06:18.now. There is difficulty about this. You get frequent stories about so

:06:19. > :06:25.many people wanting to leave the NHS. We have to remember that the

:06:26. > :06:27.NHS has got 1.6 million employees. It is one of the five biggest

:06:28. > :06:36.employers in the world alongside the United States Department of defence.

:06:37. > :06:42.You are bound to have... It puts into context the debate about junior

:06:43. > :06:48.doctors. There will be an entire generation, the junior doctors, have

:06:49. > :06:52.a large prospect of re-tiling on the sort of pension that hardly anybody

:06:53. > :06:56.in the private sector would ever be able to afford.

:06:57. > :07:00.brought in mind when you think about terms and conditions. They say their

:07:01. > :07:05.strike is to do with the fact that there will not be restrictions on

:07:06. > :07:10.dangerous hours. Junior doctors dangerous hours. Junior doctors

:07:11. > :07:14.doctors claim that they will only have ?1 million of pension, a phrase

:07:15. > :07:32.that hardly any MIDI in the private sector could meet.

:07:33. > :07:42.Carbon critics feared bloodbath. Ten Labour MPs face fight to keep seats

:07:43. > :07:46.as constituency boundaries change. Will the Conservatives benefit? It

:07:47. > :07:47.is a combination of two things. The Government is carrying to the change

:07:48. > :07:53.last parliament. The Liberal that they try to legislate in

:07:54. > :07:55.last parliament. The Liberal Democrats stop them. It was to make

:07:56. > :08:01.the boundaries of constituencies even so that you are the same number

:08:02. > :08:05.of votes in each constituency. It is fair. It does benefit the

:08:06. > :08:10.Conservatives but that is because the present system is skewed against

:08:11. > :08:13.them. Within the Labour Party this gives the opportunity for existing

:08:14. > :08:18.sitting moderate Labour MPs to be deselected because they will no

:08:19. > :08:22.longer automatically stand for the constituency they represent. The

:08:23. > :08:34.constituency may change. Jeremy Corbyn may throw them out. There are

:08:35. > :08:36.high profile names. It is a logical process which leaves the

:08:37. > :08:43.Conservative Party in an advantageous position. Whether it is

:08:44. > :08:47.fair or not, who can say? The Conservatives do not make this stuff

:08:48. > :08:51.up for themselves. There is a Commission that would set

:08:52. > :08:58.boundaries. How many times have we turned a deaf ear to the boundary

:08:59. > :09:05.Commission? The Conservatives implement that every single time

:09:06. > :09:07.which tells a story. Moving on to The Guardian, Church avoids split

:09:08. > :09:18.over gay rights but liberals paid place. It is an excellent story. We

:09:19. > :09:22.thought we were going to use the word schism in its proper meaning

:09:23. > :09:36.for the first time in a long time. Justin Welby has put together a

:09:37. > :09:43.deal. It is a surprise. The Liberals, the American Episcopalian

:09:44. > :09:47.Church, are not allowed to play any part, they are in favour of same-sex

:09:48. > :09:52.marriage. They will not be allowed to play any part for the next three

:09:53. > :09:58.years in terms of the running of the Anglican community. This was pushed

:09:59. > :10:02.on by Africans, principally the canyons, Ugandans and Nigerians who

:10:03. > :10:23.see this as a fragile deal. -- the Kenyans, Ugandans and

:10:24. > :10:31.Nigerians. Power is shifting. Africa and Asia are less socially liberal

:10:32. > :10:36.than north America. We will stay with The Guardian. Alan Rickman at

:10:37. > :10:45.the top of the front page. An actor of singular charm and charisma. A

:10:46. > :10:50.huge number of tributes paid to him. Friends taken by surprise. Many did

:10:51. > :10:56.not know he was ill. It is always said of actors that they are lovely.

:10:57. > :11:05.But it does seem that he was genuinely loved. He was marvellous.

:11:06. > :11:26.My family will always adore him for the Harry Potter movies. Latterly

:11:27. > :11:30.impeccable in the Die Hard movies. He once said he did not play

:11:31. > :11:45.villains, he played interesting people. He did not like to talk

:11:46. > :11:49.about the actual craft of acting. He said it was too difficult to

:11:50. > :11:59.describe. Whatever he thought of it, he had such an appeal. It is

:12:00. > :12:03.remarkable. The announcement came at half past 12. Since then over 5

:12:04. > :12:10.million people have come on the site and read about Alan Rickman, which

:12:11. > :12:15.is remarkable. Even more remarkable is that the audience from America

:12:16. > :12:20.coming onto the site is bigger than the UK audience. A measure of his

:12:21. > :12:32.appeal in all parts of the world. That is it for The Papers for now.

:12:33. > :12:37.We are back at half past 11. Now it
