:00:00. > :00:08.Laura Trott has won gold in the UCI cycling World Cup in Hong Kong. And

:00:09. > :00:14.now we have Gavin with the papers. Hello and welcome to our Sunday

:00:15. > :00:22.morning edition of The Papers. With me are writer and broadcaster

:00:23. > :00:24.Eve Pollard and Editorial Director with the Sunday Times -

:00:25. > :00:26.Eleanor Mills. The Observer leads with figures

:00:27. > :00:30.from the World Health Organisation The health body declares it

:00:31. > :00:35.a 'global public health emergency" - warning that poor air quality

:00:36. > :00:37.will overwhelm health services The Sunday Express writes that

:00:38. > :00:45.millions of families can expect higher council tax bills and bigger

:00:46. > :00:53.cuts to public services because of Conservative plans

:00:54. > :00:56.to reduce county council budgets. The Mail on Sunday headlines a poll

:00:57. > :01:00.which suggests the campaign for Britain to leave the EU

:01:01. > :01:02.is now six points ahead. It blames the Paris massacre,

:01:03. > :01:05.Cologne sex attacks and the Syrian The Telegraph unveils a new alliance

:01:06. > :01:09.of Conservative MPs that plans to push for Britain to stay

:01:10. > :01:11.within the EU. They warn against Britain

:01:12. > :01:13.'leaping into the void'. The Independent on Sunday has

:01:14. > :01:16.an exclusive interview with the Head of Interpol who says criminal gangs

:01:17. > :01:19.made ?4 billion last year And The Sunday Times leads

:01:20. > :01:25.with the terrorist attack in Burkina Faso in which 29

:01:26. > :01:36.people were killed. The Sunday Telegraph has got the

:01:37. > :01:41.story of the week, something to do with the EU. This is about the new

:01:42. > :01:51.Tory alliance fighting to stay in the EU. What do you make of it?

:01:52. > :01:56.Probably many people will buy papers which actually lead on the EU,

:01:57. > :01:59.because it is a long way head. Nick Herbert, people thought he might be

:02:00. > :02:06.on the other side, he is now leading a pro-Europe campaign. What is more

:02:07. > :02:16.interesting, David Cameron seems to have, there seems to be a sense that

:02:17. > :02:22.he is getting some real things into the pro-euro stance which will

:02:23. > :02:27.change the views of people. Michael chromite be able to produce a new

:02:28. > :02:33.law -- Michael Crow might. The Germans. Where is the law does not

:02:34. > :02:43.suit that country, they will have an overriding thing -- the Germans

:02:44. > :02:49.have. Bridges courts will decide -- Bridges courts will decide

:02:50. > :02:54.ultimately. -- British. Yes, that will make a difference. Michael Gove

:02:55. > :02:59.has been told by Tabor Cameron, to come up with a way to make sure that

:03:00. > :03:06.Westminster can come up with a way to trump the EU -- has been told by

:03:07. > :03:12.David Cameron. There will also be a new status for Britain as a semi is

:03:13. > :03:18.shaped it member of Europe. -- semi-associated. The pro-Europe camp

:03:19. > :03:21.will have some good lines, some good notes to sing, rather better than we

:03:22. > :03:27.thought, and David Cameron seems to have pulled off the coup of getting

:03:28. > :03:38.Boris Johnson and Michael Gove into his pro EU tent. They are seen as

:03:39. > :03:42.the big beasts. In the Mail on Sunday, they say that 6% more people

:03:43. > :03:49.would like to leave the EU. We will come onto that in a moment, but back

:03:50. > :03:55.to the Sunday Telegraph. Page 19, Taiwan turns its back on China to

:03:56. > :04:00.elect a first female president. This lady has got fairly strong views

:04:01. > :04:04.about not reintegrating with China, as the Chinese would want. It will

:04:05. > :04:09.be interesting to see how they react. It will, with a very happy to

:04:10. > :04:15.see a woman being elected as president, but she seems to be of an

:04:16. > :04:20.ordinary background. Sometimes in Asia these things go in families,

:04:21. > :04:27.but she seems to be very pro-independence and she has warned

:04:28. > :04:32.China not to mess about. I seem to remember that Chairman Mao's widow

:04:33. > :04:38.played an interesting role in China in the past, not one that you would

:04:39. > :04:42.like. Like Nancy Reagan! Chairman Mao said that women held up half the

:04:43. > :04:48.sky and he was very pro-women. This is interesting, she is also western

:04:49. > :04:51.educated, in England, she was a professor at Harvard and she became

:04:52. > :04:59.involved in politics through negotiating interest --

:05:00. > :05:04.international trade deals, she seems to be a bit like Angela Merkel, she

:05:05. > :05:09.is a great one for consensus. She is part of the Democratic Progressive

:05:10. > :05:14.party, which is anti-becoming part of China, but she's very good in the

:05:15. > :05:20.negotiating room, in finding ways for everyone to benefit. As women

:05:21. > :05:23.are. I think it is really interesting that she has become

:05:24. > :05:32.elected there, in such an interesting time for that region.

:05:33. > :05:36.What is fascinating, the photograph. We are not worried about the hair

:05:37. > :05:41.and the glasses, she has a brain and she has been elected, paraphrasing.

:05:42. > :05:47.The parallel with Angela Merkel is quite interesting. Not just a

:05:48. > :05:54.personal triumph, but for her party, the party has won seats in

:05:55. > :05:58.parliament, as well. If you are in Taiwan, that is a brave move, if you

:05:59. > :06:05.think you are a small island off the coast of China. What this woman is

:06:06. > :06:10.doing, she is allowing micro deals to happen with China, she has opened

:06:11. > :06:13.the way for Taiwanese businesses to deal business legally on the

:06:14. > :06:24.mainland, she's a real pragmatist. It will be very interesting. The EU

:06:25. > :06:27.shot in the Sunday mail, this is based on the opinion polls which

:06:28. > :06:33.were so reliable at the last general election! That is right, many of

:06:34. > :06:38.them were convinced that Labour would win. They were completely

:06:39. > :06:43.wrong. As a former editor, having paid for these polls, and in my days

:06:44. > :06:49.you pay ten grand, it is probably double now. It says it would be 8%

:06:50. > :07:01.ahead if Boris Johnson led the pro-QuickCam. -- pro quit camp. Will

:07:02. > :07:05.he stay loyal with David Cameron, or will he be tempted? If he was going

:07:06. > :07:11.to do that, he should have done that by now, he threw his hat into the --

:07:12. > :07:14.if he was going to throw his hat into the leading campaign, that

:07:15. > :07:19.moment has passed, but I think he has been seduced by David Cameron.

:07:20. > :07:22.We have a very interesting story about Jeremy Hunt, looking like he

:07:23. > :07:26.will be toppled as the Health Secretary because he has not managed

:07:27. > :07:33.to avert the junior doctors strike. Boris Johnson might go in as the

:07:34. > :07:40.health minister. Lucky man. That is the hospital pass, you might say. In

:07:41. > :07:45.a funny way, Boris, when he does that, did I pressed the button, has

:07:46. > :07:50.world War three started? -- press. That might work with the doctors. We

:07:51. > :07:53.are all sceptical about opinion polls, but it might be true that

:07:54. > :07:58.people have changed their views because people are not really...

:07:59. > :08:02.People don't wake up in the morning, apart from a small minority, and go

:08:03. > :08:05.on about the Human Rights Act, but they do think about economy and

:08:06. > :08:10.immigration, and those kind of things, which could change votes.

:08:11. > :08:17.There is a massive shift going on in Europe, a million refugees in

:08:18. > :08:20.Germany, we saw what happened in Cologne last weekend, even the

:08:21. > :08:26.liberal consensus is fractured around how that an idea this is, we

:08:27. > :08:31.are seeing wearing of elements in Eastern Europe where the right wing

:08:32. > :08:40.parties are on the rise. -- we are seeing worrying elements. Germany is

:08:41. > :08:43.dealing with this. And here, people are looking, and they know we have

:08:44. > :08:47.had huge number of people from Eastern Europe, there are new

:08:48. > :08:51.migrants in Germany, and people are very worried about not wanting to

:08:52. > :08:55.many more. The events in Cologne was so disgusting, even though it was a

:08:56. > :08:59.small minority of people involved, and that changes perceptions. It was

:09:00. > :09:04.not just in Cologne, and I have a friend who is in German, and they

:09:05. > :09:07.said, beating that split the Germans, it was not in the

:09:08. > :09:13.newspapers for three days -- the thing that spooked the Germans. It

:09:14. > :09:19.was like the government controlling the media, and I was told that one

:09:20. > :09:21.paper has closed off certain online letters pages because they said the

:09:22. > :09:26.views they are getting, they don't agree with. They are getting

:09:27. > :09:32.anti-immigration. You will have a huge amount of anxiety within the

:09:33. > :09:35.German population, it is dangerous to dampen down the debate and not

:09:36. > :09:44.talk about the concerns. One final point. 8% if Boris Johnson led the

:09:45. > :09:49.exit campaign, do you see him as a vote winner in the sense that, in

:09:50. > :09:54.London, that was one of the new places in the country where Labour

:09:55. > :09:59.increased their vote, and he is the Mayor of London? Is he a vote

:10:00. > :10:09.winner? People vote differently for different things. I do think, Boris

:10:10. > :10:12.has always had the Heineken effect, it can reach the people that other

:10:13. > :10:17.politicians can't reach, because he does have the capacity to speak in a

:10:18. > :10:23.more vernacular jolly way. Most human. I don't know how much of that

:10:24. > :10:25.is really true, some of us might despicable but he does that have

:10:26. > :10:31.affected my people think he's more like one of them -- some of us might

:10:32. > :10:38.dispute but he does have that effect. Some people are very much

:10:39. > :10:41.against the EU, and the pro camp I think will make very good economic

:10:42. > :10:45.argument is, in the same way they did in Scotland with the referendum,

:10:46. > :10:52.and people's concerns about the economy will carry the day, I think.

:10:53. > :10:56.And now to your own paper. The third attack from Islamist 's in five

:10:57. > :11:04.days, leaving 25 dead in Burkina Faso. -- Islamist. It could be the

:11:05. > :11:12.fourth attack, in fact, if you include Istanbul. Different places,

:11:13. > :11:18.different cultures, quite often Muslim people are the targets. The

:11:19. > :11:27.social media is so powerful now, all over the world, this was Al-Qaeda,

:11:28. > :11:32.but they are watching Isil, they are watching the videos all the time.

:11:33. > :11:37.The other thing, people are travelling to countries where they

:11:38. > :11:41.have no idea this might happen, no one going to Burkina Faso would have

:11:42. > :11:46.thought they might be at the wrong end of a gun. What is happening,

:11:47. > :11:53.Westerners are being targeted quite often by these Islamic... This is

:11:54. > :11:58.very specific, the smartest hotel in Burkina Faso, where they have hit

:11:59. > :12:03.Westerners. The report says they were looking for white people. It is

:12:04. > :12:07.a horrendous account from an older French woman, who says she was

:12:08. > :12:09.trying to describe her feet because they were white and people were

:12:10. > :12:13.looking for the white people in the room and shooting them several times

:12:14. > :12:19.to make sure they were dead. Tourism to many countries that we go to full

:12:20. > :12:27.winter sunshine has gone down. There is a focus in one paper that says

:12:28. > :12:39.you can get a Holiday Inn Egypt, shone out shape, for just ?500 --

:12:40. > :12:44.holiday in Egypt. Would you go there with your children? I don't think

:12:45. > :12:50.so. What is worrying so many people, they don't really know, but they

:12:51. > :12:55.think they could go where the sun is going to shine, and papers will now

:12:56. > :12:59.produce lists of Muslim countries where it is more dangerous or they

:13:00. > :13:04.feel they have been attacked before. I thought the best story in your

:13:05. > :13:09.paper was page nine, Coca-Cola have funded a study suggesting that fizzy

:13:10. > :13:18.drinks are great for your diet. That was a surprise. Bristol University

:13:19. > :13:22.did a look at 5000 studies of soft drinks, and they came up with a

:13:23. > :13:26.intriguing line, diet drinks made you lose more weight than drinking

:13:27. > :13:31.water, and of the 5000 studies, or the rest said that wasn't true, but

:13:32. > :13:34.there was one study funded by the American beverage foundation and

:13:35. > :13:41.they said diet things were better for you -- all the rest. That is

:13:42. > :13:45.absolute rubbish. We have done a series of stories about how the

:13:46. > :13:49.drinks industry, be sugary drinks industry, has funded research,

:13:50. > :13:56.saying they are not as bad for you as we think, but I think we are

:13:57. > :14:00.entering a cigarette territory, people will start selling them, the

:14:01. > :14:04.evidence is mounting up so fast, drinking litres of Coca-Cola is bad

:14:05. > :14:10.for you. And also diet Coke. There is a very powerful lobby, food and

:14:11. > :14:14.drink, it is pretty hard to work out if you buy something, how many

:14:15. > :14:18.calories are in it, how much sugar is in it. It has ripped toes,

:14:19. > :14:29.lactose, all sorts of other things. I want to buy something, to SARS if

:14:30. > :14:41.it has a lot, one started has none, no stars for no sugar -- two stars

:14:42. > :14:44.if it has a lot, one star has none. They have managed to hold off,

:14:45. > :14:49.presumably because they give a lot of money. They are digging into who

:14:50. > :14:54.is doing the studies. Another part of this story which I thought was

:14:55. > :14:59.very interesting, you said the university did not find space to be

:15:00. > :15:07.able to mention, which is very interesting. If you look at who we

:15:08. > :15:10.trust, polls suggest that we trust universities and things which are

:15:11. > :15:14.researched, and scientists, and if you have something which is

:15:15. > :15:20.published which is based on this research and put out by Bristol

:15:21. > :15:28.University... The drinks industry are very clever people. And also the

:15:29. > :15:32.people behind chocolate, those chocolate bars are very good for you

:15:33. > :15:47.exclaim aggro what is terrifying is the black -- problem on childhood

:15:48. > :15:53.obesity. Some of this sugary drink is cheaper than bottled water. Tap

:15:54. > :16:00.water, that is my tactic. 30 seconds. Brilliant Broad take six

:16:01. > :16:09.wickets as England clinch the Test series. England's cricketers go up

:16:10. > :16:19.and down. That is a lovely headline. Alastair Cook says he had that look

:16:20. > :16:25.in his eyes, it sounds cliched, cliched, on a sports page? It is

:16:26. > :16:29.great to see England doing so well, after the Rugby World Cup, which was

:16:30. > :16:34.a disaster, for England to trounce South Africa in South Africa, that

:16:35. > :16:39.is great. Fantastic, maybe they will go on to become the number one side.

:16:40. > :16:46.That what we want. Yes. We will call you back when that happens.

:16:47. > :16:50.Just a reminder we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every
