:00:00. > :00:00.other structures with it. We will bring you more we get details. Now
:00:00. > :00:19.time to take a look at the papers. Welcome to our look ahead at what
:00:20. > :00:22.the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
:00:23. > :00:24.With me are Sue Matthias, the Senior News Feature Editor
:00:25. > :00:27.at the Financial Times and James Millar, the Westminster
:00:28. > :00:37.The Daily Express leads with the words of the president
:00:38. > :00:39.of the European parliament, aimed at Britain: "Leave
:00:40. > :00:42.The Financial Times says Britain's biggest companies are unprepared
:00:43. > :00:45.for a possible British exit from the European Union.
:00:46. > :00:47.The Times says private schools are in crisis,
:00:48. > :00:48.because of rising standards in the state sector.
:00:49. > :00:51.It quotes the publisher of the Good Schools Guide,
:00:52. > :00:54.saying independent schools face long term decline.
:00:55. > :00:57.The Telegraph says the Moroccan-born daughter-in-law of Abu Hamza can't
:00:58. > :00:59.be deported from Britain because of a ruling
:01:00. > :01:05.by the European Court that it would infringe her human rights.
:01:06. > :01:09.She served a prison term for smuggling a simple card to Abu Hamza
:01:10. > :01:12.in Belmarsh prison. The Scottish Daily Mail reports
:01:13. > :01:22.that the middle classes face losing ?100 a month from their take-home
:01:23. > :01:33.pay if the Government goes ahead We will begin with what might be
:01:34. > :01:37.described by people who express opinions on these things as a bit of
:01:38. > :01:43.a circus that we saw in west London today. Here it is on the
:01:44. > :01:49.Independent. Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, standing on the
:01:50. > :01:53.balcony, as we have seen him before, at the Ecuadorian Embassy where he
:01:54. > :01:56.has been holed up for three years. The UN panel saying he should be
:01:57. > :02:01.allowed to walk free, this is arbitrary detention and he took the
:02:02. > :02:07.opportunity to speak to the crowds. Yes he did. He came out and made
:02:08. > :02:15.quite a long speech, talking for a long time. He was waving the UN
:02:16. > :02:22.report. He clearly feels completely vindicated by this, and he is
:02:23. > :02:29.vindicated by it. It has to be said, he is quite an annoying man, and a
:02:30. > :02:33.lot of people find his performance today irritating to say the least.
:02:34. > :02:37.But he has received so much flak that I am almost beginning to feel
:02:38. > :02:43.that the fact that there may be a grain of a case here. He has also
:02:44. > :02:46.received a lot of support from celebrities, who think he was a good
:02:47. > :02:56.egg and was trying to do the decent thing. He did expose a lot of
:02:57. > :02:59.secrets, but the fact is the Foreign Secretary stood up this morning
:03:00. > :03:05.saying he is absolutely ridiculous, trashes the UN report. Why are we
:03:06. > :03:11.doing that? Because it is nonsense, obviously. As the Independent says,
:03:12. > :03:14.others report. It is big report full of technical staff, but the man
:03:15. > :03:21.patentee hasn't detained. I was detained arbitrarily
:03:22. > :03:21.by the BBC because I they tend to go off him the more
:03:22. > :03:38.they know him. It is bizarre. makes no sense that he has been
:03:39. > :03:59.to rest on that, however, if he does step out into the street, he gets
:04:00. > :04:08.arrested and sent to Sweden. In Sweden... To face serious charges.
:04:09. > :04:13.Except his lawyers say Sweden is acting contrary to international
:04:14. > :04:17.law. I believe the reason they are saying that, I could be wrong
:04:18. > :04:22.because it is very complicated, I'm sure someone will correct me, he
:04:23. > :04:26.hasn't actually been charged. No. They have to interview him before
:04:27. > :04:34.they can charge him. So his own lawyers are saying, why can't the UK
:04:35. > :04:41.and Sweden get-together, to sort this out? Our government saying we
:04:42. > :04:47.have no say in this. This UN panel is ridiculous. These things always
:04:48. > :04:52.seem to end up in London... These people seem to be attracted here. I
:04:53. > :04:59.have one more question. Why does it cost ?12 million? Why is the
:05:00. > :05:06.policing of Julian Assange...? Lots of officers on duty. They did, but
:05:07. > :05:11.as it said this afternoon on your channel, police officers get paid
:05:12. > :05:15.something like a year. We have done the figures for this. We did it on
:05:16. > :05:20.the back of a cigarette packet and it does add up. I have nothing
:05:21. > :05:29.better to do with my time! The Express. EU boss, leave if you want.
:05:30. > :05:33.Is this really what Martin Schultz has said? Leave if you want, we
:05:34. > :05:38.don't care. No, obviously, because that would be on the front page of
:05:39. > :05:44.all the papers if he said that. What he has said is some people say leave
:05:45. > :05:50.if you want, Britain forced up he hasn't said that if his opinion.
:05:51. > :05:52.What is his opinion question at he says the British test our patients
:05:53. > :05:58.and goodwill with their continual demands. You can see where he is
:05:59. > :06:02.coming from. We have started saying we want this, that and the other or
:06:03. > :06:08.we will leave, when the EU has had other things to worry about, like a
:06:09. > :06:12.migrant crisis and currency about go bust and Greece about to collapse.
:06:13. > :06:17.One of the many issues they have to deal with and they weren't going to
:06:18. > :06:19.stop, Britain wasn't going to stop trying to be negotiated as because
:06:20. > :06:27.there were serious problems elsewhere. He is a worthy and I wish
:06:28. > :06:32.-- he is aware the entire referendum is about David Cameron keeping his
:06:33. > :06:40.backbenchers suite rather than any real desire to leave the EU. The
:06:41. > :06:49.headline does not reflect what was said. The FT have a story on a
:06:50. > :06:54.similar subject, blue chips are unprepared for Brexit. What are they
:06:55. > :07:03.playing at? An interesting story. The FT has conducted a survey of the
:07:04. > :07:11.boards of every FTSE 100 company, to ask them how their preparations are
:07:12. > :07:20.going for a possible exit of the UK, possible Brexit. Of those 100, it
:07:21. > :07:25.seems only four said that they were already engaged in planning,
:07:26. > :07:32.thinking about it. That seems to suggest that everybody else is just
:07:33. > :07:38.kind of leaning back and waiting to wake up and think about what might
:07:39. > :07:41.happen. I remember a year or two ago there were some consternation
:07:42. > :07:44.expressed that the Bank of England was even having a think about this.
:07:45. > :07:53.You would be worried if they weren't so? Those are the two ways of
:07:54. > :07:56.thinking about it. We should listen to business, but if they are not
:07:57. > :08:00.planning for Brexit, they don't know what they're doing and we should
:08:01. > :08:06.listen to them. Or they do know what will happen and so they are not
:08:07. > :08:15.planning. Two approaches. All bases nicely covered. One of the four
:08:16. > :08:20.companies is standard life. Standard Life have been through this before I
:08:21. > :08:23.head of the Scottish independence referendum and I see the
:08:24. > :08:26.similarities again with company saying it will not happen and then a
:08:27. > :08:29.few weeks out from the vote they will wake up and go, this might
:08:30. > :08:39.actually happen, we need to plan for it. Yes, except there is another
:08:40. > :08:42.good quote here saying Chief Executive is coming two stripes
:08:43. > :08:46.concerning Brexit. Those who think it won't happen and those who think
:08:47. > :08:49.it won't matter. There is a sort of sense that these very large
:08:50. > :08:57.companies will have contingency plans. They won't suffer
:08:58. > :09:04.inordinately, whatever happens. Moving on to the Daily Mail. A
:09:05. > :09:13.picture entitled Exodus, human tide. Thousands of desperate Syrians this
:09:14. > :09:15.time fleeing Aleppo, because Assad's troops, backed by Russian air
:09:16. > :09:21.strikes, are beginning to surround Aleppo. 1 million people trapped
:09:22. > :09:26.there. A lot of them trying to get to the Turkish border before there
:09:27. > :09:33.is no escape. If the conditions in that city are going to deteriorate
:09:34. > :09:36.very rapidly... Yes, there is a noose tightening dud about you look
:09:37. > :09:40.at the map and it is a classic piece of military history. This is
:09:41. > :09:44.happening now. I am quite pleased I haven't seen the rest of this story,
:09:45. > :09:49.because I fear what the Daily Mail angle on it is. One step away from
:09:50. > :09:52.Europe. Look at these people on what is going on in Aleppo, how can you
:09:53. > :09:57.turn away question mark that doesn't mean you open the doors like Germany
:09:58. > :10:01.and just say, come on in, but you cannot turn the speed away when the
:10:02. > :10:07.alternative is to go back to a high chance of death, at worst, and
:10:08. > :10:12.certainly very bad conditions. It is a classic something must be done.
:10:13. > :10:17.And it is very worrying, because at the same time, almost simultaneously
:10:18. > :10:24.with the conference in London, where billions of pounds are thankfully
:10:25. > :10:31.being raised to help people in the countries who are nearby, who can
:10:32. > :10:39.help, at the same time peace talks collapse in Geneva. You just wonder
:10:40. > :10:43.where it goes from here. There are so many other external influences in
:10:44. > :10:47.Syria, it is not just Assad, the free Syrian army and Islamic State.
:10:48. > :10:53.There are other players in the region who have vested interests.
:10:54. > :10:59.And Russia. Things are now moving because the Russians have put their
:11:00. > :11:06.heads behind Assad and stalemate has been broken, for better or worse.
:11:07. > :11:11.You just wonder what the other countries that have been toying with
:11:12. > :11:14.the idea of ramping up their air strikes are now thinking. They avoid
:11:15. > :11:19.said there is no military solution to this, it has to be diplomatic.
:11:20. > :11:24.Now we see Russia engaging in air strikes and is tipping things in
:11:25. > :11:28.favour of President Assad. There are solutions and there are solutions.
:11:29. > :11:31.No military solutions that will necessarily please everyone. The
:11:32. > :11:35.Russians have found a solution that will not please everyone but will be
:11:36. > :11:41.a solution. I just want to have a quick look at something we did not
:11:42. > :11:45.box up in time. I went a bit off piste and stab another paper in. The
:11:46. > :11:51.Guardian, soaring state schools threatened private sector. This is
:11:52. > :11:57.also in the Times... I'm trained to look at my guests as well as you...
:11:58. > :12:02.It is also on the Times in a different guise. It is. I haven't
:12:03. > :12:09.seen that one yet so I am not sure what the Guardian's slant is. The
:12:10. > :12:14.Times is reporting that owing to dramatic improvements in state
:12:15. > :12:20.schools, the independent sector is facing long-term decline and is
:12:21. > :12:25.under pressure. You kind of think... Is this the crisis? It is a crisis
:12:26. > :12:29.for the business of private schools, but is this a crisis for the
:12:30. > :12:34.nation's education question probably not. A lot of parents will think,
:12:35. > :12:38.good, I do have to spend that money. It is a good news story. Schools are
:12:39. > :12:46.getting better, that is good news. But most of them have packaged it
:12:47. > :12:49.up... A school that offers lots of scholarships and bursaries to kids
:12:50. > :12:54.who cannot afford to go. You need the parents that can pay to
:12:55. > :13:03.subsidise those places. State schools are good, you'd only private
:13:04. > :13:06.scores, right? Finally, the Times. Kicked into orbit, Tim Peake is
:13:07. > :13:12.looking forward to the England and Scotland match tomorrow in the Six
:13:13. > :13:19.Nations. You have kind of had enough of this? I wouldn't put it quite as
:13:20. > :13:30.strongly as that... I do think there is some sense in which we might have
:13:31. > :13:38.reached peak Tim Peake. He looks... He is a spaceman. It's amazing. I'm
:13:39. > :13:42.beginning to wonder how many more promotional outfits he has stashed
:13:43. > :13:48.away. A little bit like Barbie, an outfit for every occasion. No, not
:13:49. > :13:52.like Barbie in any way because he is a proper spaceman. The interesting
:13:53. > :14:00.thing is he has his England flag and Scotland flag. Is he a big rugby
:14:01. > :14:06.fan? Of course. Anyway, that is the papers that this hour, but we will
:14:07. > :14:11.be back again at 11:30pm. See you later. Coming up
:14:12. > :14:16.Sportsday. When we come back, more on the earthquake that has hit
:14:17. > :14:22.Taiwan.
