:00:09. > :00:17.That's all in Sportsday. Hello and welcome to
:00:18. > :00:20.our look ahead to what the papers With me are
:00:21. > :00:23.the political correspondent for the Evening Standard, Pippa Crerar,
:00:24. > :00:25.and the broadcaster John Stapleton. The Daily Mail's main story is
:00:26. > :00:28.the Prime Minister's personal attack on Boris Johnson in the Commons
:00:29. > :00:31.over the EU referendum. Eton rivals is the headline
:00:32. > :00:33.on the front of the Metro, another reference to today's
:00:34. > :00:35.acrimonious Commons debate involving The two politicians are also
:00:36. > :00:45.pictured on the front The Express quotes
:00:46. > :00:51.a pollster who believes the Mayor of London's position
:00:52. > :00:54.on Europe could be a deciding factor in June's referendum,
:00:55. > :00:56.while the Financial Times focuses on the tumbling pound amid concerns
:00:57. > :01:00.about a possible Brexit. The pound hitting
:01:01. > :01:02.a seven-year low is also featured the Times carries a warning
:01:03. > :01:08.from business leaders that a Brexit And the Sun's headline is
:01:09. > :01:13."Halal-bert Square", a reference to the BBC's decision to build
:01:14. > :01:28.a mosque on the new EastEnders set. We are going to start with the
:01:29. > :01:34.Telegraph and the Guardian's front pages. We will bring them up for our
:01:35. > :01:40.viewers. The one on the right, here it is, eventually it will come. The
:01:41. > :01:45.Guardian, very theirs. Left of centre it might argue. The PM
:01:46. > :01:53.attacks Johnson. Cameron lets rip at Boris. This has, I suppose,
:01:54. > :01:57.completely dominated the agenda today in terms of the debate over
:01:58. > :02:03.Europe. Is it going to dominate the agenda for the next four months, do
:02:04. > :02:07.you think, these two huge personalities? Many on both
:02:08. > :02:10.campaigns will be hoping not because obviously the focus on the
:02:11. > :02:13.personalities tends to distract from the focus on the policies and what
:02:14. > :02:17.people want to hear is actually what the PM's proposals and renegotiated
:02:18. > :02:22.deal with Europe might actually mean for them. And it is just days since
:02:23. > :02:29.David Cameron called for an orderly EU debate. And while we are all
:02:30. > :02:31.aware that the truce was quite fragile, I don't think anybody
:02:32. > :02:36.really expected the scale of the vitriol which emerged today during
:02:37. > :02:40.the Commons statement. It was pure political theatre and I have not
:02:41. > :02:46.seen anything like it, that sort of blue on blue action. Some people
:02:47. > :02:50.have compared it to Margaret Thatcher, the last example of two
:02:51. > :02:54.Tory big beasts going at it like this. David Cameron was obviously
:02:55. > :02:59.furious that after months of leaving him up the garden path Boris Johnson
:03:00. > :03:03.came out for Brexit yesterday and he feels he has been betrayed after
:03:04. > :03:09.Boris said not just to him but to friends, Tory MPs and journalists,
:03:10. > :03:14.inferred that he would continue to stay in, to fight for staying in,
:03:15. > :03:19.despite the fact that he had some reservations about the EU. it is not
:03:20. > :03:27.often you hear someone as senior as Boris Johnson shouting rubbish.
:03:28. > :03:32.Cameron, as you say, is clearly rattled by Boris, and the extent of
:03:33. > :03:38.his loathing, I'm not sure... There was a lovely cartoon on the
:03:39. > :03:41.Telegraph showing the driver of the Prime Minister saying to Mr Cameron,
:03:42. > :03:48.Prime Minister, do you want me to knock down all cyclists or just
:03:49. > :03:54.Boris? Making light of what was a fairly dramatic afternoon. No doubt
:03:55. > :03:58.about it whatsoever. Cameron, for example, dismissed as for the birds
:03:59. > :04:02.the suggestion for Boris Johnson that there could be a second
:04:03. > :04:08.referendum to get a better deal from Brussels. Ireland got one but it
:04:09. > :04:12.isn't on the agenda this time. He made references to one particularly
:04:13. > :04:15.strong quote saying I don't know many couples who begin divorce
:04:16. > :04:19.proceedings in order to renew their wedding vows, which is obviously
:04:20. > :04:26.pointed at Boris Johnson, who has had a fairly... The killer quote for
:04:27. > :04:30.me was when he said I am not standing for re-election, you are
:04:31. > :04:35.after my job, that is why you are doing this, was the implication. And
:04:36. > :04:39.many people... It will certainly be up to Boris Johnson to prove to the
:04:40. > :04:42.public that he isn't in this for Boris Johnson and fulfilling his own
:04:43. > :04:50.political ambitions. That he actually has Britain's test interest
:04:51. > :04:55.at heart. The Daily Mail says now Cameron turns nasty. There were
:04:56. > :05:00.elements of that trait in his personality where he can be pretty
:05:01. > :05:04.vicious. He is usually preserving that for those across the aisle, not
:05:05. > :05:08.for those on his own backbenchers behind him. You will remember the
:05:09. > :05:12.Daily Mail has been for leaving the EU right from the start. Their
:05:13. > :05:18.campaign has been solid on that front as is their right. That
:05:19. > :05:22.headline promises... Fits that agenda very well indeed. I think it
:05:23. > :05:28.is Alan Johnston reminds us of a quote from Churchill when someone
:05:29. > :05:33.suggested that he should attack the enemy, he said the enemy is not
:05:34. > :05:38.opposite. And that some extent the case this afternoon because half the
:05:39. > :05:46.Tory MPs are actually now backing to leave the EU. But it was nasty,
:05:47. > :05:50.there is no doubt about it. The other thing that struck me about it
:05:51. > :05:54.is, I am not making a political point here but I thought Cameron's
:05:55. > :05:58.performance today in the Commons was, these personal asides are
:05:59. > :06:01.part, was very impressive, as I thought his performance on Friday
:06:02. > :06:05.night when he made the announcement after all those many hours of
:06:06. > :06:09.negotiation was also very impressive, but not for nothing was
:06:10. > :06:16.the boss of corporate affairs at a big television Station in London.
:06:17. > :06:20.Clearly be in campaign has David Cameron leading it. Boris Johnson
:06:21. > :06:23.has made it clear over the weekend that he was not going to be taking
:06:24. > :06:30.part in debates and getting on television and discussing all of
:06:31. > :06:38.this. Who is going to lead the out campaign? Boris will be the de facto
:06:39. > :06:42.leader. He finds it impossible not to say something. In his day job as
:06:43. > :06:46.Mayor of London he comes in contact with the press several times a day.
:06:47. > :06:55.He is always on the radio or the television, he finds it impossible
:06:56. > :06:58.to keep his mouth shut. And we should congratulate ourselves, David
:06:59. > :07:03.Cameron must say, it is Tuesday and Boris Johnson has not put his foot
:07:04. > :07:08.in it. You will grab a headline. And he will love the fact he is on the
:07:09. > :07:14.front page. It is important, it boosts his ego, he undoubtedly has
:07:15. > :07:17.his eye on Number 10 and what comes after David Cameron, eyeing up his
:07:18. > :07:21.rival George Osborne and I think you asked initially about whether these
:07:22. > :07:25.attacks will continue, I think you might find different parties being
:07:26. > :07:29.involved at it wouldn't surprise me at the next one we see this George
:07:30. > :07:34.Osborne versus Boris Johnson, as that very personal battle for the
:07:35. > :07:39.Tory leadership takes on a new complexion through the EU referendum
:07:40. > :07:50.debate. Let's go to the Daily Express. Boris boosts fight to quit
:07:51. > :07:54.EU. Says expert pollster. Does this ring true to your? You look at that
:07:55. > :07:58.headline, and we only have the front page, we haven't got the inside page
:07:59. > :08:01.but on the evidence of this front page, we haven't got the inside page
:08:02. > :08:06.but on the evidence of this front-page pole where they say 99%
:08:07. > :08:11.of the Daily Express readers on the phone polls say they want out.
:08:12. > :08:16.Telephone poles are not necessarily the most reliable of polls, but do
:08:17. > :08:22.you believe any polls at all these days? But I am sure that they are
:08:23. > :08:27.right in thinking that Boris will have some impact on people's
:08:28. > :08:30.thinking, no doubt about that. A hugely influential figure. We have
:08:31. > :08:34.been talking about him for the last five minutes and all the papers are
:08:35. > :08:38.covering his shenanigans with David Cameron in the Commons today. By all
:08:39. > :08:43.accounts Number 10 are worried he could put four percentage points on
:08:44. > :08:48.the leave campaign. And when it is as close as it is at the moment, if
:08:49. > :08:54.you believe the polls, that is an important caveat, at the remain
:08:55. > :09:02.campaign seems to be slightly ahead. But not much, and those four points
:09:03. > :09:09.could really make a difference. Four whole months to go. Untucked your
:09:10. > :09:13.shirt by the way. The Sterling tumbles as Cameron takes on Johnson.
:09:14. > :09:15.We haven't really talked about any of the nitty-gritty about what it
:09:16. > :09:21.might mean for Britain being in or out. We have talked about the
:09:22. > :09:24.personalities. But the suggestion is that uncertainty over whether or not
:09:25. > :09:31.we are going to stay or leave has affected Sterling prices. The
:09:32. > :09:37.biggest drop in seven years. And Moody 's warning that it could
:09:38. > :09:45.damage written's credit rating and that could be more expensive for
:09:46. > :09:49.government borrowing, the Fitch backing those assertions as well.
:09:50. > :09:53.Commodity prices have increased, oil prices have increased as well but a
:09:54. > :09:57.big impact on sterling which is good news for exporters, good news for
:09:58. > :10:01.Britain in the sense that people coming here will be more attracted
:10:02. > :10:11.to come here. A major impact. And then you have the Times talking
:10:12. > :10:18.about Brexit putting jobs at risk. The prediction was that 50% of the
:10:19. > :10:23.FTSE top 100 bosses will be saying let's stay in. It turns out that it
:10:24. > :10:28.is about 200 business leaders employing 1.2 million people, 36
:10:29. > :10:36.companies in all. They are big names, names like Marks Spencer
:10:37. > :10:42.'s, Vodafone, ASDA. And the chief executives of Gatwick have also
:10:43. > :10:45.signed up. Their names are on it. And David Cameron did say in the
:10:46. > :10:52.Commons that Number 10 was behind it. One of his civil servants had
:10:53. > :10:56.drafted the letter. As The Times have pointed out, critics are likely
:10:57. > :11:02.to focus on the dignitaries who have given cash or a Tory donors, who are
:11:03. > :11:06.David Cameron's friends, and apparently 25 of the signatures have
:11:07. > :11:10.accepted government roles while he has been in Downing Street. And
:11:11. > :11:14.while you listed several big names, ASDA, Vodafone and so on,
:11:15. > :11:25.conspicuous by their absence will be other big British names such as
:11:26. > :11:29.Tesco, Sainsbury is, Barclays, and it is not to say they are for
:11:30. > :11:34.leaving, but they have not joined the State campaign. And big
:11:35. > :11:39.employers in the north-east say that it doesn't matter. The uncertainty
:11:40. > :11:43.bothers most of them. And the smaller companies are not so
:11:44. > :11:47.enthusiastic about Europe because of the regulations imposed upon them by
:11:48. > :11:50.the redtape. Although Cameron has said they are going to try to hit
:11:51. > :11:54.new targets to reduce red tape but that is obviously yet to be
:11:55. > :11:59.achieved. We are actually going to move away from the EU referendum. We
:12:00. > :12:09.are going to go to the inside page of the Sun. NHS offer ?3000 to buy a
:12:10. > :12:13.birth care. Mothers to be going to be handed ?3000 to buy the services
:12:14. > :12:19.of private midwives. This is plans to cut the number of hospital
:12:20. > :12:25.births. The NHS's midwifery in particular has had a bad run of it
:12:26. > :12:30.and the Care Quality commission has found that women are failed by many
:12:31. > :12:33.maternity units and 7% of NHS services are inadequate. That
:12:34. > :12:37.doesn't sound great. I should declare an interest in that I have
:12:38. > :12:40.had three children on the NHS, all of whom were warned at home which is
:12:41. > :12:44.apparently what women will be able to do with these vouchers. It is
:12:45. > :12:49.cheaper apparently to give birth at home than it is in hospital. And it
:12:50. > :12:54.is essentially what it would cost if they had it elsewhere, I assume. But
:12:55. > :12:59.there will be a lot of concern about what is privatisation by stealth of
:13:00. > :13:02.midwifery services, some would say. While choice can be a good thing,
:13:03. > :13:07.how many pregnant women are actually going to want to shop around for
:13:08. > :13:11.care? Surely most of them, and I'm sure I was like this, we'll just
:13:12. > :13:15.want to know they are going to get good, safe care whether it at home
:13:16. > :13:22.or in their local maternity unit. And some poorer families might try
:13:23. > :13:26.and get this done on the cheap, as it were. Or people might feel under
:13:27. > :13:34.pressure. Yes, to get a cheaper service. Personal midwifery, home
:13:35. > :13:42.delivery, acupuncture, apparently these choices for some people. Are
:13:43. > :13:47.completely out of it, Hypno birthing? It is about staying calm,
:13:48. > :13:56.breathing deeply, we will do that later. Later on. Let's go to the
:13:57. > :14:00.Times, page four. Their apparently is a fashion for wood-burning
:14:01. > :14:04.stoves. I didn't realise this. I think this may be a rather
:14:05. > :14:12.metropolitan story, but we will finish with this. We are on the BBC!
:14:13. > :14:19.It is an interesting story, actually. It is saying that
:14:20. > :14:24.wood-burning stoves are actually causing about a 10th of all air
:14:25. > :14:27.pollution in London. And air pollution, this is the most
:14:28. > :14:32.staggering fact of all of these stories as far as, at least
:14:33. > :14:37.partially responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people every year year.
:14:38. > :14:47.People with other conditions, I assume, obesity, dementia, asthma,
:14:48. > :14:50.and conditions like that which are exacerbated by this. But it is
:14:51. > :14:56.interesting also because wood-burning was introduced
:14:57. > :14:59.initially as hopefully an attempt to actually reduce CO2 emissions but it
:15:00. > :15:03.seems to be putting at risk the very thing it was trying to solve,
:15:04. > :15:09.according to this report. And transport pollution remains...
:15:10. > :15:12.Exhaust fumes remained the worst contributor to air pollution across
:15:13. > :15:18.the board but it does mention that within the homes things like stoves
:15:19. > :15:22.and... Not just wood-burning stoves, but gas cookers, air freshener is
:15:23. > :15:24.committing dangerous particles, it suggests that opening your window
:15:25. > :15:28.once a day will help to blow away the dangerous chemicals that held
:15:29. > :15:33.up. If you are Scottish and Hardy like me, the windows are open all
:15:34. > :15:34.night. Doesn't matter if it is freezing, you need fresh air. Put on
:15:35. > :15:36.an extra jumper if you are cold. Coming up next,
:15:37. > :15:58.it is time for Sportsday. Hello, and welcome to Sportsday,
:15:59. > :16:01.with me, Ore Oduba. Coming up tonight: No FA Cup upset
:16:02. > :16:04.at New Meadow as Manchester United see off Shrewsbury Town to reach
:16:05. > :16:06.the quarter-finals. Injury woe for Ireland,
:16:07. > :16:10.who are dealt a triple blow ahead
