24/02/2016 The Papers

latest on Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini. And an injury blow for

British cycling for the track Championships in London. That will

be coming up in Sportsday. First it is time for the Papers.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are the senior political correspondent at the Telegraph,

Kate McCann, and the political correspondent at the

Let's look at some of the front pages. We will start with the i

which looks at what life is like for people living under the rule of

so-called Islamic State in Syria. The International Monetary Fund is

urging the world's top economies to work together to boost growth,

according to the Financial Times. The Telegraph claims Michael Gove

could be facing the sack after he challenged the legality of David

Cameron's EU deal. The metro says the Internet giant Google is facing

a ?1.3 billion tax bill in France, ten times the amount repaid in the

UK. And investigations into how police failed victims of sexual

abuse in Rotherham are the Guardian's main story. Kate,

starting with the Daily Telegraph. Michael Gove facing the sack over

the EU right. -- row. This is not because he has disagreed with the

Prime Minister because the by Mr said that is fine, but he is the

Justice Secretary. Yes, this massive row and the possible the of one of

David Cameron's most senior allies in the Cabinet losing his position,

so you are right. David Cameron said ministers would be able to take

sides in this debate but I don't think he expected Michael Gove to

use his position to make quite such a claim. Michael Gove is saying the

reforms the Prime Minister has renegotiated our not actually

legally binding and therefore will not mean anything at all. And he

should because he is the Justice Secretary? Correct. So there is a

problem for the primaries to. How does he deal with one of his closest

allies and friends speaking out against him in such a way that makes

it legitimate, very difficult thing to deal with. They are legitimate. A

trade union in Poland could, and a half of its workers, see part of

this deal is discriminative. They could go to the European Court of

Justice? Michael Gove is right here? It seems to be legally it for

dispute, anyway. The class in Downing Street operation today, to

relieve but Michael Gove's claims. They got the Attorney General out,

saying the deal was in fact what type, they got the former Attorney

General to see the same thing, and the European Council president as

well tonight, all gathering together on the other side to see Michael

Gove is wrong. But, coming back to what Kate said, he is the Justice

Secretary, and therefore his position does carry some weight,

when it comes to interpreting the law. If Iain Duncan Smith came out,

for the sake of argument, and said, the deal you have struck as regards

the in work payments to migrant workers, I know, because I am the

Work and Pensions Secretary, that is not going to work. That would be a

similar kind of problem? Exactly and this is the problem camera now has

to deal with. Does he do something and city people and you can't use

your title when you campaign, does he ask people nicely to stop making

decks from their position? He has already said ministers will not have

access to EU documents in the department any more, part of the

referendum. But using his title? As you say, he has a standing as the

justice minister, like Iain Duncan Smith would have as the work in

benefits -- he did not say, as the justice minister... But he has been

informed as his work as a minister so he has seen lots of EU

directives, lots of situations in which the UK has been hamstrung. The

problem here, the real crux of this problem, is that neither side can

actually prove this, because until it has been tested, like lots of

things to do with the EU, there is no proof. Well David Cameron is

saying one thing and Michael Gove is seeing the other, they could in fact

both be correct. David Cameron can say this is legally binding and has

been ratified by the EU and is now part of their international law

documentation, but Michael Gove is correct to say another state could

challenge it and they may well win, so that is the problem. While this

reaction may seem overblown it is probably really important to David

Cameron, that he gets a hold on this. Rowena, let's go to the

Guardian. The PM is wrong on migration, Iain Duncan Smith. This

is very similar, actually, to the situation we were just speaking

about with Michael Gove. Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions

Secretary, he ought to know about benefits for migrants and he is

coming up and saying, actually, the emergency brake negotiated by

Cameron may actually be counter-productive and allow more

migrants to come into the UK ahead of the brake which will not comment

until 2017. Another interesting aspect of this story is that it is a

move by the Leave campaign to turn the campaign on the immigration

which denotes a weak point for David Cameron. The remaining people really

want to keep talking about the economy and the risks and the leap

in the dark of exiting that you -- which they know is a weak point for

David Cameron. This is the point for the Leave campaign to start talking

about David Cameron's personal... He is essentially saying, Kate, the

deal struck will not work? Yes and this is something David Cameron has

no defence of. He has negotiated this but actually, you know, like

Rowena says, it will not come in for a number of years so if you are

thinking about coming to this country, you will try to do it for

that brake comes in because of course as part of his renegotiation,

the prime ministers set out to make those things apply to people already

living in this country, and that has not happened. It was one step too

far for the EU, so while in future this may deter some people from

staying longer in the country and it may deter people after 2017 or 2020

when it comes in, what it will not do is change anybody's mind who is

here already intending to come to this country, if they were intending

to come here to claim benefits. Is Michael Gove saying, go on, fire me?

More than 100 Tory MPs, more than 100 of my colleagues want to leave

as well and they will not let you fire me? Mr Cameron?

LAUGHTER That is a very good point. Where Mr

Cameron and his allies in the Cabinet want to keep Britain in the

EU and they will be very angry now, especially Michael Gove, a very

close ally of Cameron, as he is openly defying him on this. When it

actually comes to after the referendum, if David Cameron does

win and Britain fought to stay in the EU, she will have to make a lot

of concessions to the people in his party who wanted to leave, and it is

very difficult to see that he could put Michael of out into the cold

altogether, you know, in a similar position as Boris Johnson, you will

have to find him a big job -- Michael Gove out into the cold. OK,

let's stick with the Guardian, Kate. Six convicted of abuse of girls in

South Yorkshire. An incredibly. And a lot of focus now on the

authorities, particularly the police, who knew, as far back as ten

years ago, that all this was going on. 16 years ago? South Yorkshire

Police are under incredible pressure and is a part of this story that

says more than 50 officers are being investigated. 26 so far have already

been given misconduct notices. That is, you know, huge honour of people,

working in one force in one area of the country. I suppose you have to

start asking questions about whether this is happening in other areas of

the country or an incredibly unfortunate one off. 1400 children

in Rotherham town alone could have been affected by this. That is a

huge amount of children who are living with the aftermath of

something that is so awful, to think the police could have known it was

going on and did nothing to stop it, it is quite frightening. I spoke to

the police and crime commission for this area this evening, Rowena, and

he said as far as he is concerned the public can have confidence in

his police force in dealing with this kind of story in the future.

There will be people out there are still sceptical? I think that is

true, given we have learned today the independent complaints

commission is investigating 55 separate different incidents in

South Yorkshire Police. So there have got to be some people still in

that force who are feeling very uncomfortable about their role in

what happened, and this is just a story that gets worse and worse. It

touches so many different authorities, not just the police,

but also local government, local politicians as well. For the people

living in Rotherham it must be, it must give a real blow to the

confidence in their authorities. Yes, indeed. Read, OK. Kate, the

Metro. The French demand ?1.3 million in tax from Google while we

go on what, ?100 million or something? -- one 3p. Why is that?

They have not got it yet, remember -- ?1.3 billion. They are asking for

ten times what the UK managed to get out of Google for back taxes over

ten years, remember. Not just one year. It is a huge amount more

money, but whether the French authorities will actually succeed in

their ambition is yet to be seen, but I think what is particularly

interesting about this is this demand has come on the same day as a

report from the Public Accounts Committee which is a really in the

little group of MPs in Parliament and the saying, look, some of the

money Google paid to the UK is disproportionately small and they

have really big questions about why HMRC did not levy a penalty notice

on Google for not paying enough tax over ten years. If any of us were to

forget to send in her tax return or be late, we would get a fine of

?100, possibly more than that, so businesses should get a much bigger

fine, and Google has got away with none at all, paying ?130 million

over ten years, which lots of people including MPs think is nowhere near

enough... The Chancellor would say and has said, that is ?130 million

more than was taken by the previously the Government after

1997. He certainly did say that but I think he must be regretting those

first initial comments he gave straight after. I think he described

it as a victory at one point, even. You know, his face, here on this

story on the front page of the Metro, he must be feeling very

unhappy that he has somehow managed to get yorked to this deal that HMRC

struck and on it as his own political triumph, it doesn't look

very good for him. -- own it as his own. You will both be back in an

hour's time. Stay with us here on BBC News. Much more coming up. For

now it is
