:00:00. > :00:24.Google. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:25. > :00:32.at the papers. With us is the deputy opinion editor. You have been
:00:33. > :00:39.rebranded. Neil Midgley is still the media commentator at Forbes. The
:00:40. > :00:44.front pages. Starting with the Observer. It says David Cameron is
:00:45. > :00:51.considering plans to allow unaccompanied migrant children into
:00:52. > :01:01.Britain. The Sunday express leads with the falling on a plan to attack
:01:02. > :01:07.London, Brighton, Bath and Ipswich. Conservative infighting deepens over
:01:08. > :01:12.staying in the European Union. The independent shows rows of cars under
:01:13. > :01:16.snow on the US East coast. The Sunday Times has the story that a
:01:17. > :01:22.former British spy will expose what he says was an MI5 knowledge of
:01:23. > :01:29.torture at Guantanamo Bay. Let's begin with the Telegraph, give a
:01:30. > :01:37.share in the Falklands to Argentina says Corbyn. What is he proposing?
:01:38. > :01:41.Many people compared him to Michael foot taking the leadership of the
:01:42. > :01:47.Labour Party in the early 80s and it looks like Corbyn is trying his
:01:48. > :01:51.hardest to turn the next election in 21983 and a Tory landslide by
:01:52. > :01:59.apparently telling the outgoing Argentine ambassador to the UK
:02:00. > :02:03.Alicia Castro that there should be a power-sharing deal over the
:02:04. > :02:06.Falklands. In the same manner as Northern Ireland so Argentina would
:02:07. > :02:13.get a say in how they are run. It is a view. It's interesting that the
:02:14. > :02:17.plan was first discussed before Jeremy Corbyn became leader which
:02:18. > :02:21.implies maybe the whole thing was a story from before he was leader and
:02:22. > :02:30.it's not actually a current dialogue airing on. It has only just come to
:02:31. > :02:34.light now that he is leader. It is just the back catalogue of Jeremy
:02:35. > :02:42.Corbyn being slowly released. A retrospective! When he was on The
:02:43. > :02:46.Andrew Marr Show he did talk about the Falklands and in a way, if you
:02:47. > :02:51.look at it logically, why should Britain have these bunch of
:02:52. > :02:54.Ireland's that are just off the coast of Argentina on the other side
:02:55. > :03:03.of the world? Obviously the reason... Why should it? Mainly
:03:04. > :03:07.because Argentina invaded the islands and because of that it is
:03:08. > :03:10.rewarding that illegal activity. Therefore it would be seen as
:03:11. > :03:18.rewarding a bully but it can be the only real explanation. Isn't the
:03:19. > :03:21.more common-sense reason which is that the islanders themselves
:03:22. > :03:27.rightly or wrongly want to be British? Overwhelmingly. Because
:03:28. > :03:32.they are. If you are a colonial power you can go to Ireland, drive
:03:33. > :03:40.away the natives and install your own population. By your logic
:03:41. > :03:44.whatever happens they should hold them in perpetuity. It happened a
:03:45. > :03:50.long time ago and they are descendants of the original
:03:51. > :03:57.settlers. The idea of democracy is a grey area in this case. I'm not sure
:03:58. > :04:00.it is. They are an indigenous population, whether you like the way
:04:01. > :04:05.they got there in the first place or not. These are windswept islands in
:04:06. > :04:10.the South Atlantic with a small number of people who are Brits and
:04:11. > :04:15.want to be British. It's not like Northern Ireland where there are
:04:16. > :04:18.genuinely two sides and there are still people who want to be part of
:04:19. > :04:24.the Irish Republic and some sort of deal had to be done in order for the
:04:25. > :04:29.people who live there to get some sort of satisfaction but in this
:04:30. > :04:35.case we are talking about satisfying the theoretical requirements of the
:04:36. > :04:42.Argentine government, and presumably electoral popularity for whichever
:04:43. > :04:47.party is in power in Argentina. Whether this is an old story or not,
:04:48. > :04:52.if Corbyn wants to give a bump to the Tories in the opinion polls,
:04:53. > :04:56.there is no better way! It is absolutely true that British people
:04:57. > :05:02.want the Falkland Islands to remain British which doesn't necessarily
:05:03. > :05:05.mean it is correct, whether it is justified, but certainly
:05:06. > :05:10.electorally, if I was Jeremy Corbyn I would leave that aside. I have let
:05:11. > :05:19.them disagree long enough. I enjoyed that. Well done. MPs need help
:05:20. > :05:25.against violent public according to a report by psychiatrists? This is a
:05:26. > :05:28.deeply worrying report in a way. Obviously the fact that MPs are
:05:29. > :05:34.getting abused as they leave the front door is really awful and you
:05:35. > :05:38.can see that there are stories, regular stories in which MPs are
:05:39. > :05:45.vilified and accused of fiddling expenses and all manner of things.
:05:46. > :05:48.They are talking about having to see their therapists and take medication
:05:49. > :05:53.for anxiety or depression because of their experiences at the hands of
:05:54. > :05:57.the public with marriage is close to breakdown. One MP has to get her
:05:58. > :06:02.husband look down the street before she can leave the front door and has
:06:03. > :06:05.panic attacks several times a day. These people are running the country
:06:06. > :06:10.and they are meant to be debating and looking after our interests and
:06:11. > :06:14.if they are all in need of extreme psychiatric help then it does make
:06:15. > :06:20.you worry about how we are being represented. And also their mental
:06:21. > :06:28.health and what on earth is going on that has created this situation? It
:06:29. > :06:36.is a very serious story, one mentions marriage close to breakdown
:06:37. > :06:40.the spouse was holding BMP spouse -- the MP spouse responsible for the
:06:41. > :06:47.amorous attentions of a constituent which is difficult to navigate. It
:06:48. > :06:52.is a difficult story. My response was that a lot of Labour MPs of
:06:53. > :06:59.course potentially need help against violent supporters of their own
:07:00. > :07:03.leader! He made threats against them on Twitter the day after they voted
:07:04. > :07:10.in favour of bombing Syria. They now face deselection. Any violence,
:07:11. > :07:18.humour aside, any violence or threat of islands in politics is not the
:07:19. > :07:22.British way. It is not acceptable. In the age of social media where
:07:23. > :07:26.people can make very nasty threats at the click of a button very
:07:27. > :07:30.publicly, it makes it even more difficult. I think that is right,
:07:31. > :07:36.because the threats that you mentioned come through Twitter and
:07:37. > :07:40.Facebook. People have much more... They can talk to their MPs and have
:07:41. > :07:48.more contact now than they had before. They can never switch off.
:07:49. > :07:52.Always accessible. Britain poised to open the door to thousands of
:07:53. > :07:57.migrant children. The PM is considering calls by charities.
:07:58. > :08:00.There has been criticism for months about the fact Britain is not doing
:08:01. > :08:06.its fair share to help those trying to reach the EU. Yes, and apparently
:08:07. > :08:12.around 3000 unaccompanied young people, this is the key. It is not
:08:13. > :08:16.children who are migrating or who are refugees with their parents,
:08:17. > :08:21.these are kids who have somehow got separated from their parents. And
:08:22. > :08:28.who could potentially fall prey to people traffickers and apparently
:08:29. > :08:32.the UK might back seat to a charitable request to take some or
:08:33. > :08:37.all of those kids in. On a humanitarian level you have to say
:08:38. > :08:44.it's hard to see an argument against that. The one thing that did cross
:08:45. > :08:47.my mind when I read the story is the law of unintended consequences, what
:08:48. > :08:53.do you encourage in the future if you say in unaccompanied child, we
:08:54. > :08:58.will take them in no matter what? Do you then encourage people in Syria
:08:59. > :09:02.or elsewhere to push their kids out into the world by themselves? And it
:09:03. > :09:06.has to be properly planned, if these children are coming to the country
:09:07. > :09:09.they have to be put in safe environments and they would be the
:09:10. > :09:14.responsibility of social services which in many places are stretched.
:09:15. > :09:18.It's not to say that people shouldn't try to do it if that is
:09:19. > :09:23.the decision. The pitiful pledge that David Cameron made a few months
:09:24. > :09:26.ago to take in 4000 migrants a year when hundreds of thousands are
:09:27. > :09:34.coming into Europe, at least this goes a little way to redressing
:09:35. > :09:38.that. These children are deeply endangered. I don't know many
:09:39. > :09:40.parents who would send their children out just on their own, to
:09:41. > :09:45.children out just on their own, to take their chances in Europe.
:09:46. > :09:52.Parents are already risking their lives by taking them on small boats
:09:53. > :09:58.from Turkey. Absolutely, and we know the risks that families are taking
:09:59. > :10:02.and these children may have been separated in the perilous crossings.
:10:03. > :10:04.They have already been suffering I being separated from their family
:10:05. > :10:09.and they are young and unaccompanied. If Britain can do
:10:10. > :10:14.something to help it has to be applauded. Look at the Independent
:10:15. > :10:18.on Sunday, schools are being told to drop university snobbery and stop
:10:19. > :10:26.thinking that a degree course is better than having a skill. Discuss.
:10:27. > :10:27.Is it still? We have had 20 years in which higher education has been seen
:10:28. > :10:37.as the entry to achievement and aspiration... And higher earnings.
:10:38. > :10:41.As has always been the argument when tuition fees have been introduced
:10:42. > :10:46.and increased, you know, graduates will get higher earnings and we have
:10:47. > :10:50.had 20 years in which we have now achieved 50% of the population going
:10:51. > :10:54.to higher education, and it now seems that the government's
:10:55. > :11:02.education Minister Nicky Morgan wants to turn back the clock and
:11:03. > :11:05.have children going back towards apprenticeships even if they are
:11:06. > :11:10.qualified to go to university so it seems a very strange thing. There
:11:11. > :11:14.are some statistics. A recent study by the Sutton trust, and educational
:11:15. > :11:19.think tank, found that 65% of teachers would not advise a pupil
:11:20. > :11:23.with the grades necessary for university to pursue an
:11:24. > :11:28.apprenticeship. What are the other 35% doing? If the kid is bright
:11:29. > :11:33.enough to go to university, and all other things are equal, they should
:11:34. > :11:37.be going to university, surely? It depends whether their preference
:11:38. > :11:40.would be to have an apprenticeship in something else that wasn't so
:11:41. > :11:49.academic necessarily. Maybe more practical. There are not degrees in
:11:50. > :11:52.everything but there are in like subjects and if you're
:11:53. > :11:57.apprenticeship will be in napkin folding or something equally light,
:11:58. > :12:03.then there is and a great deal to choose. We need more plumbers and
:12:04. > :12:06.electricians and engineers. If those are the kind of apprenticeships that
:12:07. > :12:13.Nicky Morgan is pushing, then of course for the right candidates that
:12:14. > :12:17.is the right thing to push. If you have got a kid who has got the
:12:18. > :12:26.grades to study maths at Imperial College London, to say, it is
:12:27. > :12:29.equally valid for you to think an apprenticeship in hairdressing is OK
:12:30. > :12:36.is bonkers. We have too many kids going to university. Lifting the cap
:12:37. > :12:43.on student numbers. It is getting so expensive that many people will
:12:44. > :12:48.choose not to go. The Daily Mail, Muslim peer says, axe minarets to
:12:49. > :12:55.make masks fit in. A bit of architecture competition? Baroness
:12:56. > :13:00.Warsi, always good value. She will launch a competition to design a new
:13:01. > :13:05.mosque will stop boosting religious tolerance. -- a new mosque. She
:13:06. > :13:08.thinks they should fit in better with the British landscape. Maybe
:13:09. > :13:19.that means having steeples or bell towers or pews or stained glass.
:13:20. > :13:29.Instead of... Mosques do have minarets,... The idea is that they
:13:30. > :13:33.call people to prayer, but now they use loud-hailers and they don't need
:13:34. > :13:40.a minaret. It is rebranding is land? Making it British. -- rebranding
:13:41. > :13:47.Islam. Lots of people think Islam is from the Middle Ages and they see it
:13:48. > :13:52.as... The regular media portrayal of Islam is as a religion living in the
:13:53. > :13:59.past and she is attempting to redress that by modernising it. In
:14:00. > :14:06.some ways it may actually help, it seems a crazy idea, but why... I'm
:14:07. > :14:13.not Muslim and I don't know the essential elements of a mosque, but
:14:14. > :14:17.possibly minarets aren't? He has looked perplexed throughout the
:14:18. > :14:24.entire review. It is a perplexing story. I love it actually. They will
:14:25. > :14:28.be back again perplexed or not at 11:30pm. Thank you. Coming up next
:14:29. > :14:33.it is Reporters.
