:00:18. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:21. > :00:29.With me are Martin Lipton, the Deputy Head of Sport at The Sun,
:00:30. > :00:31.and the writer and broadcaster Louise Scodie.
:00:32. > :00:38.The Times says Boris Johnson has backed away
:00:39. > :00:41.from the suggestion that a vote to leave the EU would force Brussels to
:00:42. > :00:47.The Telegraph says the mayor has appealed to Cabinet ministers
:00:48. > :00:51.backing the campaign to stay in the European Union to "think again".
:00:52. > :00:55.The Independent focuses on George Osborne's warning, made to
:00:56. > :00:58.the BBC, that he may have to impose deeper cuts in public spending.
:00:59. > :01:01.the Guardian leads on allegations of abuse and bullying at a G4S-run
:01:02. > :01:09.The FT focuses on the latest losses at RBS.
:01:10. > :01:12.The Mail reports on a new biography of Tony Blair and his government's
:01:13. > :01:16.And the Express says leading European
:01:17. > :01:23.politicians fear the migrant crisis in Europe could destroy the EU.
:01:24. > :01:35.Starting with George Osborne, who is on a trip to China at the moment to
:01:36. > :01:40.meet G20 ministers. The Independent has taken its headline from
:01:41. > :01:46.something he said today. George Osborne proposes new cuts as the
:01:47. > :01:53.economic gloom deepens. Several reasons for this, he thinks. He has
:01:54. > :01:59.explained what they are but it will really make people's hearts sink.
:02:00. > :02:07.Certainly maybe the Independent's hearts sink. George Osborne
:02:08. > :02:14.described as taking a fateful decision. Posterity hasn't been
:02:15. > :02:18.hugely popular and I don't think that's going to change, if anything
:02:19. > :02:24.it'll get worse over the coming months. -- posterity. The
:02:25. > :02:27.interesting thing here is when the Independent right that the steep
:02:28. > :02:30.reductions in public spending had reopened the Chancellor to the
:02:31. > :02:36.charge that he is slashing back the statewide chill -- for ideological
:02:37. > :02:44.reasons. Is that something more widely bandied about? That something
:02:45. > :02:50.the papers have talked about. Stephen Golding has tweeted and
:02:51. > :03:01.says, what about the recent surplus? Now you are prepping us for more
:03:02. > :03:08.unnecessary austerity. I am trying to work out who is to blame. Now
:03:09. > :03:11.cuts are the fault of the global economy, as opposed to the
:03:12. > :03:20.government. Surely it was the global economy last time as well. A lot of
:03:21. > :03:30.people were willing to accept cuts over a short period, especially then
:03:31. > :03:34.feel they were in fact it upon them. I'm not sure this will be an easy
:03:35. > :03:39.sell for any government and this is increasingly difficult for Osborne
:03:40. > :03:44.to talk about the necessity of these things when it doesn't look as
:03:45. > :03:49.though we are all in it together. That certain people are allowed...
:03:50. > :03:52.When you've got huge companies paying zero tax, why should other
:03:53. > :03:58.people suffer? These sort of issues will get a go. The global economy
:03:59. > :04:02.impacted on the personal economy. It does become a question people will
:04:03. > :04:06.be looking for answers to. Surely he will say that he has made a start
:04:07. > :04:15.with the likes of Google. Not compared to France. France have
:04:16. > :04:20.demanded the huge sum. There is a genuine feeling about we were
:04:21. > :04:28.willing to accept things to a point, but perhaps that point has
:04:29. > :04:33.been reached. It will be a difficult issue for George Osborne to answer.
:04:34. > :04:36.I think there were people who were worried about the effects it was
:04:37. > :04:43.having on the more vulnerable members of society, for example.
:04:44. > :04:49.There's a lot more empathy around. People vote with their own pocket
:04:50. > :04:55.books. Not necessarily. Certainly anecdotal output from people from
:04:56. > :04:58.the start is that they've been very worried about people they may not
:04:59. > :05:01.even know that well, but they know will be affected by the austerity
:05:02. > :05:08.measures. Staying with the Independent. They can't believe it's
:05:09. > :05:25.not Sepp Blatter. Fifa pics a new head for football's family. Another
:05:26. > :05:31.Swiss man... -- picks. It is certainly mostly masculine. We
:05:32. > :05:34.shouldn't be surprised by that. It is a male sport in the main. The
:05:35. > :05:39.Football Association has just appointed a head of communications,
:05:40. > :05:45.who is a woman, and she will do an excellent job for the FA. But I
:05:46. > :05:51.think there are only two voters today after the two 270 voted that
:05:52. > :05:57.are women. Two members of the executive committee have been women
:05:58. > :06:01.in its history. We've now got this new head of Fifa and his job is to
:06:02. > :06:06.be more transparent and accountable and stop the corruption. Indeed. I'm
:06:07. > :06:13.not the biggest football fan in the world, under -- understatement, but
:06:14. > :06:17.I think international organisations should be transparent and Fifa have
:06:18. > :06:21.let a lot of people down. They've let the fans down and let's hope
:06:22. > :06:26.this new leadership will turn things around. Do the fans feel let down?
:06:27. > :06:33.Or are they more worried about their own individual clubs? Fifa organises
:06:34. > :06:37.the World Cup, as far as most fans are concerned. That's been an
:06:38. > :06:47.absolute mess! But the tournament is still a success. The voting is a
:06:48. > :06:52.scandal, as they said before. We are happy to listen. What we have is an
:06:53. > :07:08.organisation that is endemically flawed. It has, over the last 40
:07:09. > :07:12.years, since 1974 when -- 1974, when it became a corrupt institution. How
:07:13. > :07:18.likely is it that we will scrap it? This is the last chance for Fifa to
:07:19. > :07:22.be able to reform itself. Who says, we can't have you doing this any
:07:23. > :07:29.more so with the wind you up? I think potentially if class actions
:07:30. > :07:33.from various organisations such as US authorities... This is where it
:07:34. > :07:51.started. The American investigation into backsliding and deals... Last
:07:52. > :07:54.May, the whole process began and it was inevitable someone else would
:07:55. > :07:58.come in from that moment. It has taken nine months to get here. The
:07:59. > :08:06.question for Fifa and football is whether it will be any better under
:08:07. > :08:10.the new regime, given that Gianni Infantino only stood because his
:08:11. > :08:15.boss was forced to resign because of the ?1.3 million payment. But he is
:08:16. > :08:20.a standout candidate and could do well and speaks 11 languages. Time
:08:21. > :08:27.will tell. Boris Johnson in Europe U-turn. He changes his mind and says
:08:28. > :08:32.the art vote will be final. No means no. Yes, as opposed to the other day
:08:33. > :08:37.when he said no means yes, we can change our minds, who knows? He has
:08:38. > :08:42.had to publicly backtrack, which has made me feel delighted. The Brexit
:08:43. > :08:47.story will go on until June 23. We have got months of this. I would
:08:48. > :08:52.suggest that some of the coverage will be a little dry. Anything we
:08:53. > :08:56.got that will embarrass the odd politician in the months to come is
:08:57. > :09:03.very welcome. It is amazing how much sway Boris has over the debate. It
:09:04. > :09:05.is also amazing how complicated it is for those arguing one way or
:09:06. > :09:12.another. There are many things they just don't know. How difficult would
:09:13. > :09:15.it be if we were to leave? If we were to vote to leave, and I would
:09:16. > :09:26.be surprised at the stature if we do, but who knows, the costs of it,
:09:27. > :09:33.the two years, could be pretty painful. The EU won't make it easy
:09:34. > :09:38.for us. To encourage others not to go down that path, they will make it
:09:39. > :09:40.as hard as they can. As let's be honest the British government would
:09:41. > :09:46.have done if the Scots had voted for independence. But there are some big
:09:47. > :09:53.names -the Brexit campaign who have got months to make the argument. --
:09:54. > :09:57.behind the Brexit. Yes, no one is hitting us the facts just as they
:09:58. > :10:03.are. Because there are no facts. There's opinion. Do the British
:10:04. > :10:09.people want to remain part of an EU which some of them have doubts over
:10:10. > :10:19.but might cling to like a comfort blanket, or can we go our own way,
:10:20. > :10:24.when in the 40 odd years since we joined many of the markets, which we
:10:25. > :10:29.had then, are no longer markets. Our main markets are now within Europe
:10:30. > :10:35.and are we better being part of the huge trading bloc? Boris Johnson
:10:36. > :10:41.says he would negotiate trade deals with other parts of the world. The
:10:42. > :10:46.FT. Brussels flipped the switch to stop tea loving Brits from boiling
:10:47. > :10:49.over. The idea that we wouldn't be allowed powerful toasters and
:10:50. > :10:56.kettles, and powerful vacuum cleaners. For environmental reasons.
:10:57. > :11:02.If there's one thing we British don't want it is an affront to up
:11:03. > :11:14.tea and toast habit. We have an MP blaming Brussels for his four
:11:15. > :11:19.attempts at his tea and toast ratio. I would like my tea and toast
:11:20. > :11:25.protected. It almost sounds like a television show. Maybe they are just
:11:26. > :11:30.giving us a bit of a break, they are trying to be nice to us. Also,
:11:31. > :11:38.congratulations to both the forgetting that fantastic quote! The
:11:39. > :11:46.quick look at The Daily Mail. -- to Buzzfeed. This is a new biography.
:11:47. > :11:50.It is by the man who has put together a number of scathing
:11:51. > :12:00.biographies of significant figures, including Gordon Brown and Simon
:12:01. > :12:07.Cowell, more important these days! Looking at the clips, this thing
:12:08. > :12:12.being tied to Tony Blair... In the book it is tied to a former
:12:13. > :12:18.immigration official. He says he told Barbara Roach, the then
:12:19. > :12:21.Immigration Minister. It isn't directly linked to Tony Blair's
:12:22. > :12:26.decisions. Nevertheless, we know there was a view that in the new
:12:27. > :12:35.Labour government they could make a point and try to be a more welcoming
:12:36. > :12:39.and inviting country. They also said they haven't got an idea of what
:12:40. > :12:44.immigration figures were at point and they apologised. Ed Miliband
:12:45. > :12:50.seems to apologise for it quite a lot. It all seems a bit spurious. I
:12:51. > :12:54.can't believe this has made it onto the front page. I like the wait has
:12:55. > :12:58.been described, like it is the plot of a thriller. Tony Blair presiding
:12:59. > :13:03.over a silent conspiracy to change the face of Britain forever. The
:13:04. > :13:06.main aim was to make the country see the benefit of a multicultural
:13:07. > :13:12.society. It seems highly unlikely and not a very good strategy and
:13:13. > :13:16.certainly one that will backfire on the Daily Mail and its readers. They
:13:17. > :13:21.are offering a chance to win one of Margaret Thatcher's iconic handbags!
:13:22. > :13:29.Hold me back! Dozens of children with decayed teeth. This was a story
:13:30. > :13:38.we looked at the time ago, we are still waiting for this obesity study
:13:39. > :13:43.to be published as well. The second part of this story is that the
:13:44. > :13:51.publication of the childhood obesity strategy has been put on hold. Any
:13:52. > :13:56.parent with young kids will be concerned about the question of how
:13:57. > :14:03.their children are, what their help is. We've also had this ongoing
:14:04. > :14:11.thing about sugar and diets and the amount of soft drinks and how they
:14:12. > :14:16.are having negative effect on mental health. There's a general concern
:14:17. > :14:29.about the way are growing up. Also keep. We -- also teeth. So many
:14:30. > :14:34.children have to have them pulled out. We are talking about children
:14:35. > :14:39.aged five to nine. It must be absolutely terrible. There have been
:14:40. > :14:43.a number of educational Alicia Keys from the government to try to get
:14:44. > :14:51.families to think about eating healthier. -- educational
:14:52. > :14:54.initiatives. We have the teeth issue and that compounded by the obesity
:14:55. > :15:03.issue. They all link into each other. What is it that's missing? I
:15:04. > :15:15.can't answer that question and I wouldn't there try. Vow of silence.
:15:16. > :15:20.ENO, the choir won't sing in a dispute over pay. What is the
:15:21. > :15:24.proposal? Basically they might have their contracts cut down to nine
:15:25. > :15:28.months which mean they would lose a quarter of their salaries. They
:15:29. > :15:31.earned just over 30 grand each and said they wouldn't be able to live
:15:32. > :15:36.in London where they have to live or work if there is salaries are
:15:37. > :15:39.reduced. Performers spent years and thousands and thousands of pounds
:15:40. > :15:45.training to become a performer and often get paid absolutely nothing.
:15:46. > :15:49.They will never make the money they earn back. I understand why they are
:15:50. > :15:54.feeling unhappy. The idea is that they refused to sing? They will
:15:55. > :16:02.refuse to sing all sing the wrong songs. When I was so bad, it was
:16:03. > :16:12.banned. It wasn't because I couldn't sing! That teacher, who banned me,
:16:13. > :16:19.shame on you! It will be a sell out now. There no publicity like bad
:16:20. > :16:23.publicity. People will want to see the show to see what comedy costumes
:16:24. > :16:28.the artists will wear. Maybe they will be dressed as chickens when
:16:29. > :16:35.they aren't singing! Who knows? It's a way to drum up a bit more trade.
:16:36. > :16:41.Lovely to see you. Thanks very much. Coming up next, Sportsday.
