and it has been a good day for England's cricketers. That's all in | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Sportsday in 15 minutes, after The Papers. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
With me are Tims Collins, Former Tory MP and Managing Director | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
of Bell Pottinger Public Affairs, and Paul Johnson, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
'Diamond Wheezers', is the Sun's take on the Hatton Garden heist and | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
claims an ex-girlfriend handed them over to police after being jilted. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The Mirror also goes with that story and says the hunt is on | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
for ?10 million worth of valuables that are still missing. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
The Mail claims it's a ?20 million fortune that's missing, | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
along with 'Mr Big', who is still on the run. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
Their picture is of the late Alan Rickman, whose death was announced | :00:53. | :00:52. | |
The Independent says, "Coe declared fit to clean up | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
athletics", but the paper asks, "Was he part of the problem?" | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
The Express leads with pensions and says that in the next 15 years | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
three quarters of those reaching retirement age | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
The Telegraph goes with the same Work and Pensions data, | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
but this time focuses on those who will be worse off. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The i devotes its front page to news that ten Labour MPs could lose their | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
The Guardian claims that a worldwide split in the Anglican | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
We will start with the coverage of the Hatton Garden heist, which took | :01:23. | :01:38. | |
place audaciously, as it was described, last Easter. They picked | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
a long bank holiday weekend. The language around this is gangster | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
territory. If you look at the front pages you could be forgiven for | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
thinking the UK has lost turns the clock back 20 years. It features a | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
Mr Big, a jilted mole, cast that includes the big man, Billy the | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Fish. Extraordinary. Seven found guilty. The average age is 63. The | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
oldest 76, who arrived on the scene of the heist, as we now call it. But | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
we would be mistaken to think this was a group of cuddly, old grandads. | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
The Daily Mirror has another picture. Hatton Garden secrets. | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
There's a of money missing. There is a lot of money missing. I think the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Mirror slightly missed one angle. Normally you would expect they would | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
try to have a go at the government. But this bit might have missed. In | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
the Mirror, ?10 million has gone missing. According to the Mirror, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
police said, we offer a ?20,000 reward to find the goods. That is | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
austerity Britain for you. It is really just another story about | :03:15. | :03:28. | |
pensions. Plus, where is Basil? The ghost? I love that report we did | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
today where Daniel actually squeezed through the concrete that they | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
drilled through. It made me feel ill, because I am a little bit cost | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
to pick. But they were very determined. -- claustrophobic. If we | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
didn't have somebody else pushing from the other end he would still be | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
there. On the one hand it is extraordinary ingenuity. And in a | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
public place in the pub bragging about it. The Daily Express and the | :04:04. | :04:13. | |
Telegraph is where we will go next. Date are telling us different things | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
depending on what you look at. -- data. The Express says millions get | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
pension boost, at the Telegraph says that many will miss out on that. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
They are both right as it depends on when you retire. If you're under the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
age of 43 you will probably worse off. These are part of the changes | :04:34. | :04:48. | |
new to the system and really goes to the heart of the politics of this, | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
the fact that people over the age of 43 vote in much greater numbers than | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
those under the age of 43 and this is what | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
The system will be designed by people who are elected to look after | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
the people who will vote. Is that really how it is bought through? I | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
don't know. It is an interesting story. The Express says low-paid | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
women in particular will benefit from this. ?36 week. You would have | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
to be pickup elation about how much that means to you by the time you | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
get to 2030. I suppose compared to what they are currently getting it | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
looks decent. There are lots of different systems, depending on | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
whether you opted out of the state owning system. Essentially everybody | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
will retire on the same flat rate pension, which is obviously better | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
for many people who haven't been able to build up a contribution | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
record, but worse for those, especially younger people, who have | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
a chance to put more into the system but now won't be rewarded for doing | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
so. Jeremy Corbyn critics fear bloodbath. Ten Labour MPs facing a | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
fight to keep their seats. There was a boundary commission. There have | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
been many before. But the Tories certainly perked up at this one. In | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
order to reduce the number of seats down to 600, it looks like 35 of | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
those would be Labour held seats. That would have a significant effect | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
on the electoral mathematics. It is no wonder that the Conservative | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
rebalancing, this is what it calls rebalancing, this is what it calls | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
it. Then in some cities you would get three Labour held seats moving | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
to two. Consequently some are at risk of their seats. But none of | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
this has started yet. The word bloodbath strikes me as being a bit | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
hyperventilating. Three well-known MPs might be at risk. The point is | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
that what Jeremy Corbyn says is that he is not in favour of what is | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
called mandatory reselection. In other words, if you are standing as | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
a Labour MP for the same constituency he says you shouldn't | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
automatically face reselection from the local party. But if your | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
constituency is disappearing and you are having to compete with the | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
neighbouring Labour MP and you are paying musical chairs then there is | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
absolutely no guarantees and there are many people on the moderate Tony | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Blair or soft Labour MP side that might get pushed out of it. Church | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
of VoIP is split over gay rights but liberals pay price, says the | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
Guardian. -- church avoids split. It has been on the cards for a while. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Different parts of the Anglican community and the world are feeling | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
differently about gay marriage. We often forget that the Church of | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
England is a global entity. It is an organisation that has got followers | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
in many parts of the world. What essentially has happened is that | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
North America, like much of Europe, has become very socially liberal, | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
but Africa is anything but. So many of the African Church of England | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
bishops not only are opposed to the idea of endorsing gay marriage, they | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
actually want all gay people to be made criminals and are lobbying the | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
government for that, which is an extraordinary illustration. But what | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
has happened is the Archbishop has sided with the Africans on the basis | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
that as we all know in all sorts of respect Africa is growing and it is | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
a big challenge for all of us in the 21st century that the new emerging | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
powers are much less socially liberal than Europe and North | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
America. Your paper says the split has been averted, but is that | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
for now? I think so. This has been going on for 20 years and has been | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
at the heart of so much bloodletting in the Anglican Church, 85 million | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
people around the world. It has been going on for 20 years and I think | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
the Archbishop of Canterbury believes the church is too obsessed | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
about this and should be more interested in global issues, like | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
religious violence, religious intolerance, climate change, et | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
cetera. He is trying to move things on. Whether this works I think is | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
highly doubtful. You've got some of the Africans denied saying, | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
Kenyans in particular, saying this is the beginning, not the end. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Somebody else is quoted as saying this is extremely fragile, so we may | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
not even get to the end of the week on this. Back to the Telegraph. The | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
story on the front page. It says 1 million Syrians facing starvation | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
because of dozens of seizures across the country. -- seiges. The town of | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
them are dire was desperately waiting for aid. -- town of Madaya. | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
This has been played out in several different places. Yes, and it is | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
slightly episodic. Madaya rose to the surface after very harrowing | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
photographs, people in a very poor state. But the overall picture is | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
absolutely appalling and harrowing. What we have is at least 400,000 | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
people dead in the Syrian civil war, which five years of civil war is | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
marked in March. You've got 9 million people who fled their | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
lives... Fled for their lives, fled their homes. The equivalent of the | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
entire population of London on the run. This is something the world has | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
not seen for a long time. The story also reports, this study was done by | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
an organisation called Seige Watch, it has been widely reported that | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
this besieged towns have been blocked in by both sides. Some have | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
been encircled by troops loyal to Assad. Only two by IS. This is | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
another indication by the Prime Minister says it is very difficult | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
to see how they will be a future for Syria with Assad still in charge. | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
The Times. This is Phillip Coleman quitting this festival in protest | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
over of unpaid authors. He is speaking because he says that it is | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
at odds with one of his other roles, to stand up for rights of authors. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
This is a really interesting story. It turns out he is president of the | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
group, that gives him some status in this. Literary festivals are really | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
booming in Britain. The average pay is up to ?200. He says many authors | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
don't get paid, but you pay the electricians, the people who put the | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
brochures together, but printers, the people who erected the tents. He | :12:20. | :12:31. | |
says, why not the authors? He says well-known authors don't need the | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
publicity or the money, and the ones who are poorer aren't making a great | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
living at all out of writing books. So they should be paid in the sense | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
of fairness. He says, I've had enough of this, I'm out. But some | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
festivals would really struggle if all authors had to be paid. They | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
would. I know some authors who are incredibly poor, they literally find | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
it very difficult to get money together, sometimes to find a meal. | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
It is not as though large numbers of these people are well-paid. The | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
problem is, this is clearly an organisation where festivals... Are | :13:11. | :13:27. | |
you going to say that actors need to be paid for promotions as well? What | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
we are talking about actors, we are talking about this more festivals. | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
It looks like the intervene and say that any festivals | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
we support will be paid. At authors might not be grateful if this means | :13:44. | :13:58. | |
festivals invite fewer authors. Creative people feel they are | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
encouraged to work for profile. Let's have a look at the Mail. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Finally. A picture on the front page of Alan Rickman with JK Rowling. Of | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
course he played Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films. Brought to | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
the attention of the younger generation. King of the baddies. He | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
was by all accounts of wonderful human being. Some people have | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
commented on how much he was beloved by other cast members. He was a | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
brilliant billion, but he was more than that. -- villain. Remember that | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
fantastic film Truly, Madly Deeply? He was an enormously talented actor | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
and it is such a shock that he has now gone. He was said to an | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
interviewer, I don't play villains, IP interesting people. One critic | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
described him as saying he had a face that was a cross between an | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
eagle and a big cat. His voice appeared between the somewhat | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
lips, like a ventriloquist. And I read he had a wicked sense of humour | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
and he likes to play pranks on his fellow actors and the crew when | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
onset. Quite a wicked sense of humour. I saw a clip of him on the | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
Jimmy Fallon show. He spoke in the interview after he had inhaled some | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
helium. It has been remarkable. The story broke at about 12:30pm and | :15:39. | :15:53. | |
since then we have had about 500,000 viewers -- 5 million. But more | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
traffic from America. Very interesting. Lovely to see you. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Thank you very much for sparring with each other. Coming up next, | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
Sportsday. | :16:05. | :16:07. |
