:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Dawn-Maria France, Editor-in-chief of

:00:21. > :00:22.Yorkshire Women's Life magazine, and James Martin, Executive Editor

:00:23. > :00:32.The Observer claims the government is battling to protect a ?30 billion

:00:33. > :00:39.The Sunday Express headlines a new study which suggests people

:00:40. > :00:42.taking heart statins almost double their risk of developing diabetes.

:00:43. > :00:44.The Mail on Sunday claims David Cameron is considering sending his

:00:45. > :00:55.son to one of Britain's top private schools, Colet Court, in London.

:00:56. > :00:57.The Independent on Sunday leads with reports the Prime Minister is very

:00:58. > :01:00.close to securing a four-year curb on migrants benefits with the EU.

:01:01. > :01:03.The Sunday Telegraph focuses on the continuing migrant crisis,

:01:04. > :01:06.headlining violence at a demo in Dover and the deaths

:01:07. > :01:09.of 39 people, some of them children, who drowned in the Aegean Sea

:01:10. > :01:19.And the Sunday Times reports criticism

:01:20. > :01:22.from David Cameron towards Britain's top universities for failing to

:01:23. > :01:41.Let's begin with the Independent. A relatively familiar refrain across

:01:42. > :01:47.the Sunday papers is about European union and whatever deal Mr Cameron

:01:48. > :01:52.may or may not have achieved. I would like to talk about the UN

:01:53. > :01:57.Security Council that had the discussion recently about a peace

:01:58. > :02:00.were roadmap for Syria. They didn't mention ISIS, or what happens to

:02:01. > :02:08.President Assad, and all of this feeds into the migrant crisis. The

:02:09. > :02:15.PM will be meeting Donald Tusk, the president of the EU, tomorrow to

:02:16. > :02:21.talk about the migrant plan and benefits cap for EU migrants.

:02:22. > :02:25.Eurosceptics are saying that this isn't a deal that they believe will

:02:26. > :02:29.happen, and they question the pre-election pledge and say that is

:02:30. > :02:39.dead in the water, because the pledge did say that the EU would be

:02:40. > :02:42.discussing it particularly as it pertains to benefits. I think this

:02:43. > :02:47.is an argument that will be impossible to thrash out, really.

:02:48. > :02:53.This will frame a great deal of the debate. It feels like a massive rush

:02:54. > :02:58.going on at the moment. Jean-Claude Juncker was involved with

:02:59. > :03:06.discussions with the PM on Friday, and Donald Tusk and the PM will be

:03:07. > :03:12.meeting at Number Ten tomorrow. Number Ten is briefing that any deal

:03:13. > :03:17.with the EU will involve Britain, that the day after any deal they

:03:18. > :03:23.will be able to block benefits payments to EU migrants. So much of

:03:24. > :03:28.this is linked with the migration crisis. We are coming up to a summer

:03:29. > :03:31.period, which will potentially mean more crossings. We already have

:03:32. > :03:37.record amounts of people coming to the EU at the moment. We are seeing

:03:38. > :03:43.a 35 fold increase year-on-year in January of European arrivals. That

:03:44. > :03:50.is a huge number. 35 fold increase! Talking about all these people

:03:51. > :03:59.trying to come to the EU this year, which can only understand why this

:04:00. > :04:03.is going to come to a head. It is fascinating that a couple of years

:04:04. > :04:14.ago, if we had been talking about and in our European referendum --

:04:15. > :04:18.in/out. Migration wouldn't have been the top of the list, but now it is

:04:19. > :04:21.what everyone is talking about. Look at what happened this summer when we

:04:22. > :04:26.saw the boats coming to Greece and the sad story of the little boy

:04:27. > :04:31.drowning, and his body being on the beach. We are seeing the pictures

:04:32. > :04:36.now, there is no escape from seeing the reality of these people fleeing

:04:37. > :04:40.Syria. And indeed the ramifications. If you take a look at

:04:41. > :04:49.the next paper, the Sunday Telegraph, the migration crisis

:04:50. > :04:53.deepens. You just mentioned that memorable photograph of the dead

:04:54. > :04:56.baby on the beach. Images are so important, aren't they? Another

:04:57. > :05:04.striking image, another element of this migration story. The image of

:05:05. > :05:09.Aylan Kurdi washed up on the beach was a picture that seemed to change

:05:10. > :05:13.the issue, it changed the way wreckage people were thinking about

:05:14. > :05:20.this crisis. It seemed to change the way politicians approach the issue.

:05:21. > :05:24.This image on the front of the Sunday Telegraph today, it feels

:05:25. > :05:32.like a Banksy painting. You look at this, and there policeman with that

:05:33. > :05:38.Johns, guys holding placards. This is a picture of this five-hour riot

:05:39. > :05:49.that occurred in Dover today. You have buses with swastikas daubed on

:05:50. > :05:52.the sides of them. Antifascist protesters, far right protesters,

:05:53. > :05:57.though becomes out of this looking very good. It is a shameful episode.

:05:58. > :06:04.There were nights, knuckledusters, polls, bits of wood being taken from

:06:05. > :06:09.some of the protesters -- knives. I am using the word protest loosely,

:06:10. > :06:14.because this was never going to be a protest, it was a brawl and that is

:06:15. > :06:20.what it turned out to be. The media coverage of all of this, how

:06:21. > :06:26.difficult is it to portray all sides of this complex story? It is very

:06:27. > :06:29.difficult indeed, but I don't think the media are actually addressing

:06:30. > :06:38.the subject of what these people are facing. It looks very much like a

:06:39. > :06:42.scapegoat matter that these refugees are coming in and being blamed for

:06:43. > :06:45.everything, and is not looking at the real story of why they are

:06:46. > :06:48.fleeing in the first place. I think that needs to be addressed, because

:06:49. > :06:51.at the moment people are blaming them for coming into the country,

:06:52. > :06:56.they are going to take all these benefits, but behind the story they

:06:57. > :07:00.are people and we need to see that more. Where they have come from and

:07:01. > :07:03.why. Why they are coming here, because you need to be very

:07:04. > :07:07.desperate to make the journey in a rickety boat. Of course, as we have

:07:08. > :07:13.been hearing today, 39 people feared dead. Let's have a look at another

:07:14. > :07:21.big issue, Google and its tax havens. The Observer has a lot about

:07:22. > :07:29.Google, they have gone from ?130 million, which was a big number.

:07:30. > :07:34.This is ?30 billion! It is a story that when the government were hoping

:07:35. > :07:37.to open up the Sunday papers tomorrow morning, they were hoping

:07:38. > :07:44.that they would not have to search and find the Google story. Both the

:07:45. > :07:50.Daily Mirror and the Observer lead on this. Bermuda sounds nice in

:07:51. > :07:54.terms of the weather, and in terms of tax evasion. Essentially, this

:07:55. > :07:57.story is about how Treasury ministers have told the European

:07:58. > :08:02.Commission that they are strongly opposed to sanctions against the

:08:03. > :08:13.move. The reason Bermuda is interesting is because approximately

:08:14. > :08:29.3 billion worth of business sales in the UK go through there. Let's have

:08:30. > :08:41.a look at the front of the Mirror. This is a new angle, isn't it? It is

:08:42. > :08:46.alleged that Google has landed a lucrative deal to collect taxes,

:08:47. > :08:52.which sounds quite ironic, and at the same time thousands of jobs have

:08:53. > :08:59.been lost by the Revenue, whose job it is to collect tax. It seems

:09:00. > :09:02.bizarre to me that you would get Google, lose so many staff, it just

:09:03. > :09:08.doesn't make any sense. Aya more than happy get Google to collect my

:09:09. > :09:14.taxes if I can pay 3% as well. We should say, by the way, there is any

:09:15. > :09:17.number of columns that have said it is a disgrace. There are quite a few

:09:18. > :09:30.journalists who have written columns saying that they paid 3.3 billion

:09:31. > :09:34.dollars worth of taxes in various places, and... They have abided by

:09:35. > :09:38.the law. There is a moral component to this, but if the government

:09:39. > :09:44.wanted Google to pay tax, they could legislate to make that happen,

:09:45. > :09:48.albeit it might not be very effective. Maybe the only solution

:09:49. > :09:51.is a global deal, because otherwise you get this arms race of every

:09:52. > :09:57.country trying to lower its corporation tax, to try to attract

:09:58. > :10:02.big business. At the moment, it is Google, LinkedIn and Facebook are

:10:03. > :10:07.very happy in Ireland, paying tax on assets there. People like Lord

:10:08. > :10:10.Lawson saying maybe it is time to pay tax on sales rather than

:10:11. > :10:16.profits. Maybe that is part of the solution. I don't get the feeling

:10:17. > :10:19.that George Osborne is very fussed about changing the corporation tax

:10:20. > :10:25.rates. If anything, I think he would like the lower. I think you would

:10:26. > :10:30.like a change in the front pages. Let's have a look at the Sunday

:10:31. > :10:36.Times. A different angle with its front-page, and this is quite a

:10:37. > :10:38.striking image and a striking quote. A young black man is more likely to

:10:39. > :10:47.be in prison than at a university. Racism is a matter of

:10:48. > :10:51.life, I have experienced it myself, and recently in Yorkshire was on a

:10:52. > :10:55.train when I heard someone say to someone who was an immigrant, you

:10:56. > :11:03.have taken over our country, and so on. In their defence, the people on

:11:04. > :11:08.that train, the Yorkshire people, stood up this particular person.

:11:09. > :11:12.They said, not in our name. You might be speaking to yourself but we

:11:13. > :11:16.are not racist and we won't deal with it. I think it is good that

:11:17. > :11:19.David Cameron has raised this issue, and I think it will play well to

:11:20. > :11:28.minorities, who largely support Labour. He has brought this issue to

:11:29. > :11:31.the forefront, and is leading a review on the treatment of nonwhite

:11:32. > :11:36.defendants in the criminal justice system. I'm glad that he has done

:11:37. > :11:44.that and open to that debate going forward. You feel that David Cameron

:11:45. > :11:54.needed this. In PMQs, a bunch of migrants, didn't go very well. The

:11:55. > :12:06.Tories might have become a bit more of the nasty party of late. This is

:12:07. > :12:16.where an element of the PM's humanhuman side. 1% of Oxford

:12:17. > :12:26.admissions were minorities. That is 27 out of 2500 students. Here we

:12:27. > :12:36.have Jamie Murray winning the doubles yesterday, Andy Murray kicks

:12:37. > :12:40.off in a few hours time. I am feeling confident for him, go Andy,

:12:41. > :12:45.I think he can do it. Five of his Australian Open finals he has lost,

:12:46. > :12:51.three of them to Novak Djokovic. He has lost ten out of his last 11

:12:52. > :12:59.against Novak Djokovic, so... That is enough! Thank you both for your

:13:00. > :13:01.company tonight. Coming up next, The Film Review.
