Laura Trott has won gold in the UCI cycling World Cup in Hong Kong. And | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
now we have Gavin with the papers. Hello and welcome to our Sunday | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
morning edition of The Papers. With me are writer and broadcaster | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
Eve Pollard and Editorial Director with the Sunday Times - | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Eleanor Mills. The Observer leads with figures | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
from the World Health Organisation The health body declares it | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
a 'global public health emergency" - warning that poor air quality | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
will overwhelm health services The Sunday Express writes that | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
millions of families can expect higher council tax bills and bigger | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
cuts to public services because of Conservative plans | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
to reduce county council budgets. The Mail on Sunday headlines a poll | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
which suggests the campaign for Britain to leave the EU | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
is now six points ahead. It blames the Paris massacre, | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
Cologne sex attacks and the Syrian The Telegraph unveils a new alliance | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
of Conservative MPs that plans to push for Britain to stay | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
within the EU. They warn against Britain | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
'leaping into the void'. The Independent on Sunday has | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
an exclusive interview with the Head of Interpol who says criminal gangs | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
made ?4 billion last year And The Sunday Times leads | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
with the terrorist attack in Burkina Faso in which 29 | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
people were killed. The Sunday Telegraph has got the | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
story of the week, something to do with the EU. This is about the new | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Tory alliance fighting to stay in the EU. What do you make of it? | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
Probably many people will buy papers which actually lead on the EU, | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
because it is a long way head. Nick Herbert, people thought he might be | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
on the other side, he is now leading a pro-Europe campaign. What is more | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
interesting, David Cameron seems to have, there seems to be a sense that | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
he is getting some real things into the pro-euro stance which will | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
change the views of people. Michael chromite be able to produce a new | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
law -- Michael Crow might. The Germans. Where is the law does not | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
suit that country, they will have an overriding thing -- the Germans | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
have. Bridges courts will decide -- Bridges courts will decide | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
ultimately. -- British. Yes, that will make a difference. Michael Gove | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
has been told by Tabor Cameron, to come up with a way to make sure that | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Westminster can come up with a way to trump the EU -- has been told by | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
David Cameron. There will also be a new status for Britain as a semi is | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
shaped it member of Europe. -- semi-associated. The pro-Europe camp | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
will have some good lines, some good notes to sing, rather better than we | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
thought, and David Cameron seems to have pulled off the coup of getting | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Boris Johnson and Michael Gove into his pro EU tent. They are seen as | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
the big beasts. In the Mail on Sunday, they say that 6% more people | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
would like to leave the EU. We will come onto that in a moment, but back | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
to the Sunday Telegraph. Page 19, Taiwan turns its back on China to | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
elect a first female president. This lady has got fairly strong views | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
about not reintegrating with China, as the Chinese would want. It will | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
be interesting to see how they react. It will, with a very happy to | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
see a woman being elected as president, but she seems to be of an | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
ordinary background. Sometimes in Asia these things go in families, | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
but she seems to be very pro-independence and she has warned | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
China not to mess about. I seem to remember that Chairman Mao's widow | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
played an interesting role in China in the past, not one that you would | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
like. Like Nancy Reagan! Chairman Mao said that women held up half the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
sky and he was very pro-women. This is interesting, she is also western | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
educated, in England, she was a professor at Harvard and she became | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
involved in politics through negotiating interest -- | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
international trade deals, she seems to be a bit like Angela Merkel, she | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
is a great one for consensus. She is part of the Democratic Progressive | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
party, which is anti-becoming part of China, but she's very good in the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
negotiating room, in finding ways for everyone to benefit. As women | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
are. I think it is really interesting that she has become | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
elected there, in such an interesting time for that region. | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
What is fascinating, the photograph. We are not worried about the hair | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
and the glasses, she has a brain and she has been elected, paraphrasing. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
The parallel with Angela Merkel is quite interesting. Not just a | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
personal triumph, but for her party, the party has won seats in | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
parliament, as well. If you are in Taiwan, that is a brave move, if you | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
think you are a small island off the coast of China. What this woman is | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
doing, she is allowing micro deals to happen with China, she has opened | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
the way for Taiwanese businesses to deal business legally on the | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
mainland, she's a real pragmatist. It will be very interesting. The EU | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
shot in the Sunday mail, this is based on the opinion polls which | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
were so reliable at the last general election! That is right, many of | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
them were convinced that Labour would win. They were completely | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
wrong. As a former editor, having paid for these polls, and in my days | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
you pay ten grand, it is probably double now. It says it would be 8% | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
ahead if Boris Johnson led the pro-QuickCam. -- pro quit camp. Will | :06:50. | :07:01. | |
he stay loyal with David Cameron, or will he be tempted? If he was going | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
to do that, he should have done that by now, he threw his hat into the -- | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
if he was going to throw his hat into the leading campaign, that | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
moment has passed, but I think he has been seduced by David Cameron. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
We have a very interesting story about Jeremy Hunt, looking like he | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
will be toppled as the Health Secretary because he has not managed | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
to avert the junior doctors strike. Boris Johnson might go in as the | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
health minister. Lucky man. That is the hospital pass, you might say. In | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
a funny way, Boris, when he does that, did I pressed the button, has | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
world War three started? -- press. That might work with the doctors. We | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
are all sceptical about opinion polls, but it might be true that | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
people have changed their views because people are not really... | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
People don't wake up in the morning, apart from a small minority, and go | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
on about the Human Rights Act, but they do think about economy and | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
immigration, and those kind of things, which could change votes. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
There is a massive shift going on in Europe, a million refugees in | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
Germany, we saw what happened in Cologne last weekend, even the | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
liberal consensus is fractured around how that an idea this is, we | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
are seeing wearing of elements in Eastern Europe where the right wing | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
parties are on the rise. -- we are seeing worrying elements. Germany is | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
dealing with this. And here, people are looking, and they know we have | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
had huge number of people from Eastern Europe, there are new | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
migrants in Germany, and people are very worried about not wanting to | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
many more. The events in Cologne was so disgusting, even though it was a | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
small minority of people involved, and that changes perceptions. It was | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
not just in Cologne, and I have a friend who is in German, and they | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
said, beating that split the Germans, it was not in the | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
newspapers for three days -- the thing that spooked the Germans. It | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
was like the government controlling the media, and I was told that one | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
paper has closed off certain online letters pages because they said the | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
views they are getting, they don't agree with. They are getting | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
anti-immigration. You will have a huge amount of anxiety within the | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
German population, it is dangerous to dampen down the debate and not | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
talk about the concerns. One final point. 8% if Boris Johnson led the | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
exit campaign, do you see him as a vote winner in the sense that, in | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
London, that was one of the new places in the country where Labour | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
increased their vote, and he is the Mayor of London? Is he a vote | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
winner? People vote differently for different things. I do think, Boris | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
has always had the Heineken effect, it can reach the people that other | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
politicians can't reach, because he does have the capacity to speak in a | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
more vernacular jolly way. Most human. I don't know how much of that | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
is really true, some of us might despicable but he does that have | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
affected my people think he's more like one of them -- some of us might | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
dispute but he does have that effect. Some people are very much | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
against the EU, and the pro camp I think will make very good economic | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
argument is, in the same way they did in Scotland with the referendum, | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
and people's concerns about the economy will carry the day, I think. | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
And now to your own paper. The third attack from Islamist 's in five | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
days, leaving 25 dead in Burkina Faso. -- Islamist. It could be the | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
fourth attack, in fact, if you include Istanbul. Different places, | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
different cultures, quite often Muslim people are the targets. The | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
social media is so powerful now, all over the world, this was Al-Qaeda, | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
but they are watching Isil, they are watching the videos all the time. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
The other thing, people are travelling to countries where they | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
have no idea this might happen, no one going to Burkina Faso would have | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
thought they might be at the wrong end of a gun. What is happening, | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Westerners are being targeted quite often by these Islamic... This is | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
very specific, the smartest hotel in Burkina Faso, where they have hit | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Westerners. The report says they were looking for white people. It is | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
a horrendous account from an older French woman, who says she was | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
trying to describe her feet because they were white and people were | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
looking for the white people in the room and shooting them several times | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
to make sure they were dead. Tourism to many countries that we go to full | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
winter sunshine has gone down. There is a focus in one paper that says | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
you can get a Holiday Inn Egypt, shone out shape, for just ?500 -- | :12:28. | :12:39. | |
holiday in Egypt. Would you go there with your children? I don't think | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
so. What is worrying so many people, they don't really know, but they | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
think they could go where the sun is going to shine, and papers will now | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
produce lists of Muslim countries where it is more dangerous or they | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
feel they have been attacked before. I thought the best story in your | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
paper was page nine, Coca-Cola have funded a study suggesting that fizzy | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
drinks are great for your diet. That was a surprise. Bristol University | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
did a look at 5000 studies of soft drinks, and they came up with a | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
intriguing line, diet drinks made you lose more weight than drinking | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
water, and of the 5000 studies, or the rest said that wasn't true, but | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
there was one study funded by the American beverage foundation and | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
they said diet things were better for you -- all the rest. That is | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
absolute rubbish. We have done a series of stories about how the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
drinks industry, be sugary drinks industry, has funded research, | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
saying they are not as bad for you as we think, but I think we are | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
entering a cigarette territory, people will start selling them, the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
evidence is mounting up so fast, drinking litres of Coca-Cola is bad | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
for you. And also diet Coke. There is a very powerful lobby, food and | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
drink, it is pretty hard to work out if you buy something, how many | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
calories are in it, how much sugar is in it. It has ripped toes, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
lactose, all sorts of other things. I want to buy something, to SARS if | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
it has a lot, one started has none, no stars for no sugar -- two stars | :14:30. | :14:41. | |
if it has a lot, one star has none. They have managed to hold off, | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
presumably because they give a lot of money. They are digging into who | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
is doing the studies. Another part of this story which I thought was | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
very interesting, you said the university did not find space to be | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
able to mention, which is very interesting. If you look at who we | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
trust, polls suggest that we trust universities and things which are | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
researched, and scientists, and if you have something which is | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
published which is based on this research and put out by Bristol | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
University... The drinks industry are very clever people. And also the | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
people behind chocolate, those chocolate bars are very good for you | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
exclaim aggro what is terrifying is the black -- problem on childhood | :15:33. | :15:47. | |
obesity. Some of this sugary drink is cheaper than bottled water. Tap | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
water, that is my tactic. 30 seconds. Brilliant Broad take six | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
wickets as England clinch the Test series. England's cricketers go up | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
and down. That is a lovely headline. Alastair Cook says he had that look | :16:10. | :16:19. | |
in his eyes, it sounds cliched, cliched, on a sports page? It is | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
great to see England doing so well, after the Rugby World Cup, which was | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
a disaster, for England to trounce South Africa in South Africa, that | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
is great. Fantastic, maybe they will go on to become the number one side. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
That what we want. Yes. We will call you back when that happens. | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
Just a reminder we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every | :16:47. | :16:50. |
