15/01/2016 The Papers

out of a tricky spot in Johannesburg. A crime spot in the

European Rugby Cup the Scot, all that in 15 minutes after the papers.

Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us.

Whether this is the senior features editor of the Financial Times and

the Westminster correspondence for the Sunday Post. Front pages, the

Times features a picture of British astronaut Tim Peake on his first

spacewalk. A story on red light districts to be set for sex workers

in cities including and Glasgow. The Daily Mail claims hundreds of

thousands of tonnes of recycling is just being burdened or dumped in

landfills. The Independent has an exclusive about deep cutbacks where

it is claimed there was a culture of bullying and sexual assault. The

daily Mirror bleeds that an interview with the Coronation Street

star William Roache who talked about the final moments he shared with his

co-star shortly before her death. The Telegraph has a story about

Easter holidays with the Archbishop of Canterbury claiming they should

fall on the same week every year. He says Anglican leaders will join

discussions with other church leaders about a move to a fixed

date. Let's begin and showing absolutely

no partiality, we begin with the Financial Times. Your turn next I'm!

George Osborne move aimed at swing voters. Pensions when in the papers

last night as well. Who was winning and losing? This time it is the

higher earners. It seems to be quite an audacious move by George Osborne

and it is an overhaul towards law are earners in the sense that he is

proposing a flat rate of tax relief on pensions, so the system at the

moment is that it is geared to your income, so you get the same rate of

pension relief as you do pay income tax, so higher earners get higher

tax relief and this proposal will level it down,, and it says there is

a proposal for 25%, or 33%, for everybody, which will favour the

lower earners. This is analysed as a political move and an attempt to

please lower income voters to move into that. I wonder how many people

will be convinced because the Conservatives have been accused of

not looking after lower earners. The Tories traditionally have looked

after pensioners and then all the pensioners vote and that is why they

keep winning elections, and they keep promising to look after

pensioners saw in that sense it is quite interesting that they are now

beginning to look at pensions as an aviator change things, but the key

aspect is it will save George Osborne billions of pounds a year

and that is why they are looking at pensions. He is looking to save

money wherever they can and it allows him to present himself, as a

sort of champion of the middle ground, this is his strategy to

reach out for the middle ground that has been abandoned by the Labour

Party. Red light zone is set for UK cities. London, Glasgow in

particular have asked for special zones for sex workers and it seems

to have had some success, this idea, this scheme, being trialled in

Leeds. It is a very interesting issue and I don't think the story

necessarily supports the headline which says it is set for UK cities

when it is campaign is asking for red light zones, but according to

this, there has been a pilot project in Leeds and sex workers are more

willing to report crimes, which is essentially the point of the thing.

There are a lot of crimes carried out against sex workers and we know

that much and they are usually unwilling to report that, how it

will affect them, so that sounds positive. Whether it will actually

happen, I am not sure there's a huge amount of evidence that it is. The

Home Office see essentially it is up to individual police forces. The

argument often from people who don't want to see any kind of prostitution

enabled, is that in doing this, are re-legitimising prostitution? Are we

saying that we live in a society where we are happy to have women

treated as sexual objects? I don't think that's the case. I think that

this is saying that women who work in prostitution deserve protection

under the law. And that actually, the wider community and the

taxpaying community will benefit all so, because they will occupy less

police time. They can work safely, crime goes down. You could see the

social benefits were increased significantly. So I think that the

idea of some kind of future where prostitution no longer exists is not

a realistic possibility, and in the meantime, let's try and make the

streets safer for the women who do this, and that is why it is a good

splash because it is an issue you can argue about, those two sites,

till the cows come home. We will move on. The Daily Mail, tonnes of

recycling burned or buried, what is going wrong? What is going wrong is

that the reality is that everybody puts all the recycling in together,

because you cannot separate out every tiny piece, except that

unfortunately the Daily Mail is a rather enjoying reporting the fact

that unless we meticulously do this, the whole thing is a waste of time

and everything has to go on to landfill so why do we bother really,

is the underlying message. But it is not everything, that is the only

thing. It is actually the poorest record, Manchester City Council,

turning away 18 bins for every 100 that are recycled. So 82, that was

quick! 82 are being recycled which is a good thing, which sounds quite

a good rates to me. The key figure is that the amount of recycling bins

or burned has doubled in the last few years. We don't know if that is

just because more is being recycled. There is a very good quote from the

environment spokesman called Peter box who sounds as if he is going to

come down extremely heavily on anyone who actually mixes things up.

It is the only thing they understand. We need effective

proportionate powers to take actions against households or businesses who

persistently and wilfully do this. Wilful bad recycling! When we were

growing up, nothing was recycled. Just in the last few years it has

increased a lot and is going up exponentially. Just be careful with

the tins of beans. We could do a lot. The Independent, Jeremy Corbyn

calls for ratio rules to end pay and equality. Recycling things from the

1970s. It doesn't mean it's a bad idea but it means he will never get

elected. He wants to ban senior executives from having vastly higher

wages than genuine employees. It is a trendy thing at the moment to work

out the ratio between the top person at the bottom person. What is plenty

about equality? The idea of the ratio is a trendy thing. I am not

saying it is a bad thing, just trendy, however the minute you start

saying I will start fiddling around with Private business, business will

say we're not interested in you and all the newspapers and Tory

politicians will suggest the man is out of touch and a of bad things

will fall upon his head. Is that really true? I thought some

countries, a certain proportion, the most junior employee had two early

certain proportion of what the person at the top there and? I think

it's actually maybe not as nuts as you make it sound and it is also

playing into the idea, which I think has gained traction, which is that

there is too much any quality in many companies, particularly in the

City of London. Between what the highest earners receive and the

bottom, the gap is too big and damagingly so. But also, Jeremy

Corbyn it is very easy to laugh, and often we do, we have to tell him

off, but his Labour Party membership is going up massively according to

Guardian research. Let's look at the picture in the Times of Tim Peake on

his first spacewalk. They had to call it a day after five hours

because water seeped into his colleague's helmet. Having thrown

myself out of our plane, I can't imagine what it would be like to

open a hatch and allow yourself to leave the International Space

Station. Watching him float, it looks as though they are tethered

very likely outside and he is upside down. Apparently they have time to

mentally adjust and go, I am floating in space! I feel slightly

ill actually. The great thing about Tim Peake as he is always smiling.

He loves being a spaceman and it is brilliant! Absolutely you should, do

you fancy it, going into space? I don't think so but there has been a

British woman in space before Tim Peake and I would like to hear it

for her. But good to have a bricked up there. And his helmet worked but

they had to work because the American helmet didn't. Could you

imagine if it was Tim Peake's helmet, we would have all the

stories tomorrow about Britain being rubbish! But it worked. But it was

all fine, just a precaution. Another picture, because it is TV. Inside

the vault, the Hatton Garden safety deposit police, were that incredible

and audacious heist took place last Easter. Early hour we were seeing

correspondence squeeze through the concrete block, and this is the mess

they left behind. They didn't even clear up after themselves, didn't

recycle anything! It is an amazing photograph. It was a key factor in

the little report I would like to share, which is that it reveals the

reason why the missing man, why he is called Basil. We don't know his

real name, do we? Why they call him Basil is due to his Basil Brush

style read here! And he is still being hunted, like the Fox. The

ghost vanished. With 10 million quid apparently, at least. But this is a

story, a crime, and people have lost a huge amount of money but it is

fascinating. You should not like it but you cannot help it! It is the

fact these old guys doing the final, it is like a film. I know it is a

cliche, but there will be a film about it almost certainly within a

short space of time. Most of them are caught. They will go down for

the very long time. Finally, Kate will run a newsroom from the palace.

She is having a stab at being a guest editor. Very exciting news.

She is going to be guest editing for the Huffington Post, with a focus on

child mental health, which obviously is a very important subject. The

only thought I had really was that I hope she doesn't apply the same

level of journalistic talent that her sister... Do you remember? It

was derided. A spoofed Twitter feed, I seem to recall. The appeal for the

Huffington Post is quite a coup for them. Far be it for me to knock my

Internet colleagues but it is a big publicity coup, that is what it is

about. Is it as simple as that? Is it because she is a princess? Any

magazine editor would kill to have Kate editing. But doesn't it make it

look like your job can be done by any so-and-so? That may be true, but

I am afraid... Shifting units. I have been told, that news presenting

is just reading the autocue and any five-year-old can do it, so there

you are. That is the papers for this hour, but Sue and James are back at

half past 11 with another look at the stories tomorrow.

Hello and welcome to Sportsday - I'm Hugh Woozencroft.
