:00:00. > :00:00.controversial comments. That is all coming up in sports day in the next

:00:00. > :00:13.15 minutes straight after the papers. -- Papers.

:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:17. > :00:20.With me are the International Editor of the Economist Helen Joyce and

:00:21. > :00:35.We start with a mirrored that leads with the convicted murderer has

:00:36. > :00:41.admitted to the first-time of the killing of the schoolgirl. He says

:00:42. > :00:45.he is also behind a string of other attacks. The Independent headlines

:00:46. > :00:49.urges Cameron to halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia. The Financial Times

:00:50. > :00:54.talks about Google and Apple fighting back after a row over the

:00:55. > :00:57.amount of tax paid by the technology giant. The Telegraph leads on the

:00:58. > :01:03.findings of a scientific review that is found that some antidepressants

:01:04. > :01:09.can raise the risk of suicide. There is the picture of grandparents of

:01:10. > :01:14.the severely disabled teenager who won the battle against the bedroom

:01:15. > :01:22.tax. Britain's role in Yemen attacks are under scrutiny. The Daily Mail

:01:23. > :01:26.says that David Cameron must not taking 3000 migrant children. And

:01:27. > :01:29.the Times reports on the top investor or in Google calling on

:01:30. > :01:40.them to pay more tax in the UK. Top investor turns on Google over

:01:41. > :01:45.tax. This is the most interesting story we have seen yet. You see

:01:46. > :01:52.these things that they are called in to decide how much they should pay.

:01:53. > :02:04.Long-term, you would not. Zero after year it seems grossly -- year after

:02:05. > :02:09.year it seems so grossly unfair. He wants to know what the company he is

:02:10. > :02:13.investing in is going to pay and that is better to everybody in the

:02:14. > :02:17.long run. But somebody in the company is coming out saying that

:02:18. > :02:28.creative tax accounting, and there is nothing wrong with it in terms of

:02:29. > :02:39.the law, I quickly added, means that shareholders get a lot more pack, --

:02:40. > :02:46.a lot more cash in their pocket. They have an obligation to maximise

:02:47. > :02:51.these kind of things. Absolutely what the shareholder is worried

:02:52. > :02:56.about is that ?120 million worth of shares in Google's parent company.

:02:57. > :03:00.He's worried about a backlash that people will be so upset that it will

:03:01. > :03:05.be even worse for the shareholder. What strikes me about this is the

:03:06. > :03:09.arbitrary nature as to what is happening at the moment. The focus

:03:10. > :03:14.on these giants, but what about these other companies are getting

:03:15. > :03:25.away with it. What we want is a framework for these corporate giant.

:03:26. > :03:34.What we need is a framework... I was going to give you a framework. We

:03:35. > :03:41.need Britain to buy into it. And the deal is agreed by the G20 nations in

:03:42. > :03:45.Paris due to concerns about these companies and how they move them

:03:46. > :03:50.from one country to another. If you only have one tried to deal with

:03:51. > :03:52.this, the T20I'm now on board. And as he was saying about the

:03:53. > :04:00.shareholder worried about a backlash, the European Commission is

:04:01. > :04:08.looking into the monopoly on commission. If that was opened up

:04:09. > :04:15.the board have alternatives and we could have a view on these attacks.

:04:16. > :04:19.It is absolutely vital for capitalism to work. There has to be

:04:20. > :04:24.an implicit contact between the consumers and the big corporate

:04:25. > :04:31.giants were becoming eager in a globalised economy. That revelation

:04:32. > :04:35.needs to include sensible agreements and good regulation if they are

:04:36. > :04:40.under monopoly situations that undermine the consumer. I know

:04:41. > :04:44.enough about the search engine market that there is potential. I

:04:45. > :04:53.know that advertisers have to be on board with Google... You can't say

:04:54. > :05:00.this monopoly just because consumers like it. Let us go to the inside

:05:01. > :05:06.page of the Financial Times. Government makes tax law and Google

:05:07. > :05:10.complies. This is about the guy who was the head of communications at

:05:11. > :05:14.Google and he is coming out swinging saying that Google have not done

:05:15. > :05:20.anything wrong but have followed the law. It is difficult for us to read

:05:21. > :05:23.this with any information that we're bringing to it. Company SAP

:05:24. > :05:29.confidentiality agreements and he is saying is that the 130 million that

:05:30. > :05:38.they paid is the right amount and then to a paid. He is saying that

:05:39. > :05:46.they made their profits elsewhere. That may be right, but there are

:05:47. > :05:52.plenty of companies saying that they have, but they might rented out or

:05:53. > :05:58.pay for it in a different spot and paid the money abroad. We can't tell

:05:59. > :06:04.and we need transparency. We have the news of Facebook's profits for

:06:05. > :06:12.the last three months of last year. ?1 billion. Guess how much tax they

:06:13. > :06:19.paid last year and they did it legally, I have to add that point,

:06:20. > :06:35.it is all legal and above board. Either sticking suspicion that is

:06:36. > :06:42.?4000. I -- I have a sneaking. Are they paying a lot of money

:06:43. > :06:45.elsewhere? I would love to know. On that letter that was written to the

:06:46. > :06:48.Financial Times, they said they are American company and that is where

:06:49. > :06:53.they create their intellect or property and where they have their

:06:54. > :07:03.value, and they pay $3.3 billion in tax. We don't know whether that is

:07:04. > :07:11.credible. It is the transparency that is the problem. This agreement

:07:12. > :07:16.with the G20 means we might get a bit more transparency on that. Why

:07:17. > :07:20.we must not take 3000 migrant children because it would encourage

:07:21. > :07:24.new influxes. I fundamentally disagree and I want a caveat that

:07:25. > :07:29.with the perspective that when it comes to decisions of this time it

:07:30. > :07:33.is always vital to take into account the unintended consequences. When

:07:34. > :07:39.the German chancellor said we're going to be ethical and open it did

:07:40. > :07:41.lead to a big influx and hopeful people from a war-torn country,

:07:42. > :07:48.risking their lives with unscrupulous brokers would get them

:07:49. > :07:53.to these places. David Cameron has invested taxpayers money in the

:07:54. > :08:02.refugee camps in that area is. That is a sensible policy. However, 3000

:08:03. > :08:10.vulnerable children... No one does that alone. I also think we are not

:08:11. > :08:16.spending enough in the camps. More than any other EU country. There are

:08:17. > :08:21.literally millions of people in terrible conditions and the small

:08:22. > :08:24.amount of money stops people getting ill but we could spend a lot more

:08:25. > :08:31.money and stop people coming further on. These migrant children make the

:08:32. > :08:44.think about the unaccompanied Jordan in the Second World -- unaccompanied

:08:45. > :08:51.children in the Second World War. There may be the possibility with

:08:52. > :08:58.parents saying... I know for a fact that that happens in Eritrea. A

:08:59. > :09:09.country where conscription is the norm and it lasts for ever. The same

:09:10. > :09:14.thing happens in Central America escaping from drug gangs and the

:09:15. > :09:19.world's most oppressive governments. What we're seeing is the unintended

:09:20. > :09:24.consequences and economic migrants in there as well because they can.

:09:25. > :09:33.Nobody is sending their children unless they think they are going to

:09:34. > :09:38.die. Let us go to the Telegraph. Depression drugs make suicide more

:09:39. > :09:42.possible. Many people have been saying this for many years and we

:09:43. > :09:48.now seem to have a study that is confirming this. And yet why do we

:09:49. > :09:54.not know that earlier? Why did they not show this important piece of

:09:55. > :09:58.data is. And the reason is a familiar story of pharmaceutical

:09:59. > :10:07.companies covering up the negative consequences of the drug. They only

:10:08. > :10:11.work in establishing important data is if they are conducted. The other

:10:12. > :10:17.problem is that they want to publish them. If it undermines the

:10:18. > :10:20.credibility of the drug, don't publish them, do a bit more and hope

:10:21. > :10:28.you get the results that you won't. That is not science that is a lie.

:10:29. > :10:32.Strong language and you have written a book on this kind of thing. On the

:10:33. > :10:37.manipulation of not just to sticks but the way that big companies can

:10:38. > :10:44.perhaps, ignore the lessons of the past, or the lessons of their own

:10:45. > :10:47.research. The clinical try has been a huge blessing to the development

:10:48. > :10:52.of the drug. The problem is when they are read. I write about the

:10:53. > :10:57.human factors and how they are delivered and the humans do it and

:10:58. > :11:00.also the errors that often take place around the world that are

:11:01. > :11:03.concealed. Partly because people are worried about being blamed. They

:11:04. > :11:07.just don't want this to happen again and again. It is terribly sad

:11:08. > :11:11.because families have children who have died because of this. It is an

:11:12. > :11:16.ethical scandal that this information has not come to light

:11:17. > :11:22.until now. I suppose that this kind of research has got the University

:11:23. > :11:32.of London behind it so its voracity is there. Government have to act on

:11:33. > :11:36.this. We don't know who because there are two levels. Should we not

:11:37. > :11:41.be prescribing these things and the second one is a much more systematic

:11:42. > :11:45.thing about how we regulate drug trials more generally. Should all be

:11:46. > :11:57.published and you have to publish the results. End this particular

:11:58. > :12:12.bias. URA former sportsman -- you are a. I played table tennis. Table

:12:13. > :12:15.tennis is a sport. Careful! Very funny because she claims that she

:12:16. > :12:27.has more passports than Jason Bourne. But she is a British citizen

:12:28. > :12:34.now. We have claimed her. The first time in three decades that we've had

:12:35. > :12:43.a female... Grew up in Australia until the age of 14 to Hungary and

:12:44. > :12:51.parents. I can see the link between the two. We sent a reporter to

:12:52. > :12:55.interview her parents and the mother is a dentist and the father works in

:12:56. > :13:02.a gym. They are very settled. Let us be clear that she is British. It is

:13:03. > :13:05.a lovely story because it has come out of nowhere but shows how

:13:06. > :13:11.confident with a sense of destiny that she seems to have is a powerful

:13:12. > :13:14.thing. Apparently a lot of the work that has been done with her as being

:13:15. > :13:20.psychologist over the last few months and that is what has changed

:13:21. > :13:24.things around for her. You were talking to one of the most ignorant

:13:25. > :13:29.people about sport. I have one thing to tell you about this. I totally

:13:30. > :13:34.agree with claiming all of these sport people. We don't get many

:13:35. > :13:40.people. When you do you grab them with two hands and you just hold

:13:41. > :13:46.on. That is the end of your contribution. They could do better

:13:47. > :13:52.revealing school reports on the rich and famous. You are one of the

:13:53. > :14:07.smartest women that I know. Thank you. So your school report must have

:14:08. > :14:25.been top grades all the way along. I did very bad in home economics. We

:14:26. > :14:46.had criteria on effort. Dragging me towards... Know we never had ten is

:14:47. > :14:53.too bad -- tends. Don't try to start this up. I left school with really

:14:54. > :15:03.poor qualifications but I taught myself the top levels. I was so into

:15:04. > :15:18.table tennis and the rest is history. Forget Churchill. As he

:15:19. > :15:23.ever been on? Know he has not been in that chair. -- no.
