:00:00. > :00:00.Plenty more football, as well as rugby and cricket and all the latest

:00:00. > :00:13.surrounding the boxing bout between Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg.

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

:00:17. > :00:22.With me are Martin Lipton, the Deputy Head of Sport Content

:00:23. > :00:27.at The Sun, and the writer and broadcaster Louise Scodie.

:00:28. > :00:33.The Times says Boris Johnson has backed away from the suggestion that

:00:34. > :00:36.a vote to leave the EU would force Brussels to give Britain a better

:00:37. > :00:43.The Telegraph says the Mayor of London has appealed to Cabinet

:00:44. > :00:48.ministers backing the campaign to stay in the European Union to think

:00:49. > :00:52.again. The Independent focuses on George Osborne's warning made to the

:00:53. > :00:56.BBC that he may have to impose deeper cuts in public spending. The

:00:57. > :01:04.Guardian leads on allegations of abuse and bullying attitude for S

:01:05. > :01:10.run prison. There is a new biography of Tony Blair and the Government

:01:11. > :01:13.policy on immigration. In the Daily Express, the migrant crisis in

:01:14. > :01:21.Europe could destroy the EU, it is feared. Let's begin with a story on

:01:22. > :01:27.the Independent. We heard George Osborne speaking in China about

:01:28. > :01:31.this. George Osborne prepares new cuts as economic gloom deepens. Next

:01:32. > :01:36.month's budget to feature fresh austerity. Tax revenues expected to

:01:37. > :01:42.fall short of predictions. Bad news coming all the way from China.

:01:43. > :01:48.Certainly. Presented rather like an anvil landing on our heads. What an

:01:49. > :01:52.ominous story! No one is looking forward to more austerity. That much

:01:53. > :01:58.is clear. The way the story is presented leaves you in no doubt

:01:59. > :02:02.that the tone here is very much critical of Osborne's decision.

:02:03. > :02:06.Calling it a fateful decision makes you think we are just headed for

:02:07. > :02:13.more and more trouble. This will be absolutely no good. I am not sure

:02:14. > :02:17.anyone will welcome the posterity measures. Certainly in the

:02:18. > :02:26.Independent, all of the stories detailing the austerities will be

:02:27. > :02:33.negative. I wonder how surprised people will feel that there will be

:02:34. > :02:41.more cuts. Five Apeople were prepared to accept hard economic

:02:42. > :02:46.pain for a short-term. People were prepared to accept. This was on the

:02:47. > :02:51.basis that things are moving in the correct direction. Now we are facing

:02:52. > :02:56.more of the same and cuts upon cuts upon cuts, effectively. I am not

:02:57. > :03:01.entirely sure there will be the same response to rip them may have been

:03:02. > :03:06.between 2010 and 2015. It will be a big issue for the Government to try

:03:07. > :03:11.to sell more of the same. Does it not matter whether cuts fall? Of

:03:12. > :03:15.course it does. If people perceive the cuts are inflicting damage upon

:03:16. > :03:19.their lives and pain to them, often you can see in the initial stages

:03:20. > :03:22.people do not think it will affect them, it will affect someone else

:03:23. > :03:26.will do if the scope becomes wider and wider and wider, they may well

:03:27. > :03:31.indeed be as inevitable and necessary as the Government says the

:03:32. > :03:37.people will ask, why am I suffering? Then it becomes a bigger issue. That

:03:38. > :03:42.is often the way. That is assuming that people do not have empathy. I

:03:43. > :03:45.would argue with that. The cuts have been deeply unpopular from the start

:03:46. > :03:50.and there has been a degree of worry for other people who have been

:03:51. > :03:59.affected by this. There have been protests. Many saw them as a

:04:00. > :04:02.necessary evil. People believed that austerity was a needless policy in

:04:03. > :04:08.the first place. One wonders whether the former camp might shrink and the

:04:09. > :04:13.latter camp might grow. Letter stick with the independent and look at the

:04:14. > :04:22.main picture story here. -- let us stick. The gathering in Zurich. We

:04:23. > :04:28.have been trying to find them. They cannot believe it is not Sepp

:04:29. > :04:36.Blatter. Fifa picks new head for football's family. The new president

:04:37. > :04:46.has been voted in in the end. Only two ballots. This man, Johnny baby,

:04:47. > :04:56.as his name possibly translates. Gianni in panty no, tell us about

:04:57. > :05:00.him. He has been very senior -- Infantino. He only stayed because

:05:01. > :05:04.the fella who were supposed to stand, Michel Platini was forced out

:05:05. > :05:08.of favour because ?1.3 million payment that had not been declared

:05:09. > :05:13.between Sepp Blatter and himself ten years earlier. Uefa, European Fogel,

:05:14. > :05:19.decided it needed someone to try and run on behalf of them, not really

:05:20. > :05:25.respecting to win. Lo and behold Gianni Infantino is Fifa president.

:05:26. > :05:32.He is a lawyer, an accountant, a bright spark. He speaks so many

:05:33. > :05:36.languages. He is a genuine polyglot. He answered questions in about seven

:05:37. > :05:41.different languages. Sepp Blatter could also speak lots of different

:05:42. > :05:48.averages. Being multitalented in languages does not make you the best

:05:49. > :05:53.man to lead in world football. That art is -- there are issues with him

:05:54. > :05:59.but he seems the least worst alternative. There are suggestions

:06:00. > :06:04.it is not a new era for Fifa, it is rearranging the deck chairs. He

:06:05. > :06:07.stood out. He seemed to be the most genuine and heartfelt. I love the

:06:08. > :06:14.fact he addressed the people working for him in his acceptance speech.

:06:15. > :06:19.That gave a nice humane touch to proceedings. I am not the biggest

:06:20. > :06:26.football fan in the world. What I care for is open and transparent

:06:27. > :06:30.leadership. The priority in my mind is the fans. You want a leader who

:06:31. > :06:34.will lead an organisation who will do right by the fans. There are so

:06:35. > :06:38.many people spending money on football tickets and football

:06:39. > :06:41.paraphernalia every week. I would want the organisation organises the

:06:42. > :06:48.will to be one that does so in a culture of honesty. You may look

:06:49. > :06:54.cynical. If you honestly think anyone in football cares about the

:06:55. > :06:59.fans, sadly that is not the case. Football is a multi-billion pound

:07:00. > :07:04.business. Fifa is designed to keep the gravy train on its tracks. Sadly

:07:05. > :07:11.that is true. It is about guidance and leadership and everything else.

:07:12. > :07:19.People at the meeting are worried about themselves first and foremost.

:07:20. > :07:29.What Fifa needs is a complete overhaul and should be run by a

:07:30. > :07:34.separate set of people A few stories about Boris Johnson a membership of

:07:35. > :07:38.the European Union. Maher changes mind too worn out vote will be

:07:39. > :07:46.final. He seemed to suggest the other day that an out vote might

:07:47. > :07:51.encourage partners in the European Union to offer a better deal. Now he

:07:52. > :07:59.appears to be saying, no means no. It makes me feel very cheerful. The

:08:00. > :08:08.main stand out for me is that we have had months of this. This will

:08:09. > :08:20.make me very happy indeed. At least we know where he stands. We know

:08:21. > :08:26.where he stands today. It is good to have clarity. This comes on the same

:08:27. > :08:30.day that Michael Howard has said, actually, no can mean maybe. If we

:08:31. > :08:36.vote to leave, that would force the EU to renegotiate is the point that

:08:37. > :08:46.Johnson was saying on Monday and he has now reneges from. It does seem

:08:47. > :09:01.there was no certainty in their voices. They are moving from pillar

:09:02. > :09:06.to post. It is an issue for them. If this exit campaign will be

:09:07. > :09:14.successful, and believe campaign will win, they lead people who have

:09:15. > :09:18.some resonance with the public. They have proved they can win for the

:09:19. > :09:23.Tories in London, a Labour stronghold. Michael Gove, again, a

:09:24. > :09:30.bright man, who has come out as a leading light from the people who

:09:31. > :09:35.have expertise. They need to be consistent and able to show they are

:09:36. > :09:39.in control of this argument. At the moment there seems to be an

:09:40. > :09:44.inconsistency in that argument. The Daily Telegraph has said that Boris

:09:45. > :09:55.is urging allies in the Cabinet, the Prime Minister's allies in joining

:09:56. > :10:05.him. It was about the power play between Boris and Cameron. Think

:10:06. > :10:12.about staying in or out, it is about establishing the facts. If we had a

:10:13. > :10:15.leader who was laying it on the line and telling us straight, there would

:10:16. > :10:20.be less confusion. It is interesting. Theresa May was looked

:10:21. > :10:34.upon as a potential person who would vote for out until she decided to be

:10:35. > :10:40.in. That has caused problems for the pro-exit lobby, certainly. Brussels

:10:41. > :10:43.has decided not to stop us having powerful kettles. Maybe just to be a

:10:44. > :10:48.bit nice to us at the moment. They flip the switch on cattle herds. The

:10:49. > :11:00.suggestion that you would not be able to have a super charged kettle

:11:01. > :11:08.or toaster. -- kettle. This cannot be argued against the can it? The UK

:11:09. > :11:13.Independence Party person says, he is blaming Brussels for taking four

:11:14. > :11:21.attempts to make his toast fit to spread marmalade. You are in charge

:11:22. > :11:26.of your marmalade! Turn up the dial. This man believes he can have hard

:11:27. > :11:37.and soft do like he can have hard and soft water. In the Times, the

:11:38. > :11:46.date of the trip down memory lane. -- offers a trip. I cannot take

:11:47. > :11:52.painkillers without a fuss. Out of the three of us I am the least

:11:53. > :11:57.likely to remember the 60s. I was four when they finished. Just saying

:11:58. > :12:01.it how it is. This was a fun and fabulous exhibition with a few

:12:02. > :12:06.things to raise a few eyebrows. Displays are likely to feature in

:12:07. > :12:14.our power nudity, as opposed to usual nudity. It promises to be the

:12:15. > :12:24.most controversial in the Victoria and Albert history. You are a cynic!

:12:25. > :12:29.You are just an out and out cynic. I am very disappointed. We will be

:12:30. > :12:32.back with another look at the front pages at 11:30 p.m.. Coming up, it

:12:33. > :12:34.is time for the sport.
