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

:00:17. > :00:19.With me are the author and journalist Matthew Green

:00:20. > :00:38.with a new report which highlights the plight of some

:00:39. > :00:47.The Financial Times leads with claims from the British Retail

:00:48. > :00:50.Consortium that one million jobs in retail will disappear by 2025,

:00:51. > :00:53.as technology and the rising minimum wage reshape the industry.

:00:54. > :00:55.The Daily Express states that migrants will have received benefits

:00:56. > :00:57.to the tune of one-billion pounds in the last year.

:00:58. > :00:59.The Metro headlines comments from Eurosceptic Cabinet minister

:01:00. > :01:02.Iain Duncan Smith, who says David Cameron has a low opinion

:01:03. > :01:05.of the British people for suggesting a Brexit would be a major gamble.

:01:06. > :01:07.The Daily Telegraph headlines a leaked report which suggests up

:01:08. > :01:10.to 20,000 people in need of emergency care were denied

:01:11. > :01:12.immediate access to ambulances so that officials could meet

:01:13. > :01:18.The Daily Mail carries claims - made in a new book -

:01:19. > :01:20.which suggests former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair had

:01:21. > :01:22.decided to invade Iraq in early 2002.

:01:23. > :01:25.The i paper headlines a report, which says

:01:26. > :01:26.Chancellor George Osbourne's northern powerhouse

:01:27. > :01:42.And so here in an increasingly digital age on a linear digital TV

:01:43. > :01:51.channel watched in real-time, we mark the launch of a newspaper,

:01:52. > :01:56.printed on newspaper. It is called New Day. Not every day do we get to

:01:57. > :02:04.review a newspaper with issue one written on it. It does raise the

:02:05. > :02:09.question, is anyone insane enough to launch a newspaper in the current

:02:10. > :02:13.era? Some people have stopped buying a newspaper because they cannot find

:02:14. > :02:17.a newspaper to buy. This one is hoping to be it. There are half a

:02:18. > :02:21.million people out there who would like a mid-market, unbiased tabloid

:02:22. > :02:25.and they are intending to provide it. What I do find odd about this,

:02:26. > :02:29.and I do applaud it and hope it succeeds. The more people are

:02:30. > :02:35.reading newspapers, the more likely that Matthew and I will keep our

:02:36. > :02:39.jobs. The publishers said beforehand, and the editor, that

:02:40. > :02:43.this was going to be an upbeat and optimistic paper. The front pages

:02:44. > :02:47.leading with a very good story but a deeply depressing one about

:02:48. > :02:50.five-year-olds who have to look after their parents without any

:02:51. > :02:54.assistance. I do not think that is quite in keeping with what they say

:02:55. > :02:58.the new brand will be for. If we look at the fact the Prime Minister

:02:59. > :03:08.has written for the newspaper inside, quite a big spread, isn't

:03:09. > :03:11.it? On pages 12 and 13, about Britain', or not, in the European

:03:12. > :03:15.Union. It is promising as not to tell us what to think. Is it telling

:03:16. > :03:18.us what to think if you have the Prime Minister in it? It has the

:03:19. > :03:24.Prime Minister telling us what to think. The point is, they are going

:03:25. > :03:28.to try to avoid having a very clear right-wing editorial stance that

:03:29. > :03:31.other mid-market papers have. That is where they are trying to

:03:32. > :03:41.differentiate themselves. The column by David Cameron is reiterated what

:03:42. > :03:44.he has been saying up until now about Brexit, warning what will

:03:45. > :03:50.happen if Britain does leave the EU in June. A woman called Emma is

:03:51. > :03:53.undecided and she wants to hear the arguments. A lot of people are

:03:54. > :03:57.saying that. There are so much arguing going on, they cannot

:03:58. > :04:03.actually find out what the issues at stake are. The fascinating thing

:04:04. > :04:06.about this piece. She says she wants to know the facts. The things that

:04:07. > :04:11.have put her off the EU have been things like the insistence we could

:04:12. > :04:15.not buy bent cucumbers and that children under eight were banned

:04:16. > :04:20.from blowing up balloons. What is fascinating is the children under

:04:21. > :04:27.eight ban was complete nonsense. All the EU said was put warnings on the

:04:28. > :04:32.packets that people have died blowing up balloons. The bent

:04:33. > :04:36.cucumbers was in about 2008 because they said this was ridiculous. This

:04:37. > :04:41.is what she remembers about the EU. It shows it is really hard to take

:04:42. > :04:49.in what is really going on. We remember random facts that are not

:04:50. > :04:53.always accurate. Brexit would mean ten years of uncertainty. This is

:04:54. > :04:58.Downing Street. A leaked report that the Guardian has got hold of, that

:04:59. > :05:03.says it will take ten years for Britain to extricate itself from the

:05:04. > :05:06.EU. Under the rules that will be a two-year process. According to the

:05:07. > :05:11.leaked government report, you'll be so complicated with all the

:05:12. > :05:15.different issues from the common agricultural policy and single

:05:16. > :05:21.market access and fishing rights, a whole long list of things that need

:05:22. > :05:26.resolving, it will take a decade. The economy will suffer and

:05:27. > :05:30.investment will get held up. The likes of Boris Johnson so this is

:05:31. > :05:34.nonsense, we apparently capable of ploughing our own furrow and can

:05:35. > :05:40.forge trade deals with other parts of the world. We do not have to be

:05:41. > :05:44.relied on the EU to that extent. This is rather convincing. If you

:05:45. > :05:47.think how long it has taken us to get the agreement of the EU, to

:05:48. > :05:53.think about whether Britain can have a few amendments in order to be able

:05:54. > :05:58.to hold a referendum, think how long it will take to negotiate every

:05:59. > :06:02.single aspect of our lives. We have been integrated in EE you for 30

:06:03. > :06:06.years. There have been regulations about medicines. One key point is

:06:07. > :06:09.that other countries will not be able to start negotiating with as

:06:10. > :06:13.well we are still in complicated initiations would be you. They will

:06:14. > :06:17.not know how free we are to negotiate with them. The whole thing

:06:18. > :06:22.does sound like it will be an almighty mess in which lawyers will

:06:23. > :06:27.be involved for perhaps up to a decade. The Metro is suggesting we

:06:28. > :06:30.have more confidence in ourselves. This is Iain Duncan-Smith thing

:06:31. > :06:33.Cameron has a low opinion of the British and this is where it is

:06:34. > :06:38.starting to become a little acrimonious. His view is we were

:06:39. > :06:43.very successful as a country before the EU and we can be again. This is

:06:44. > :06:49.a grand statement which does not mean anything. We may be a great

:06:50. > :06:52.country, a grand country. The greatest country on Earth, according

:06:53. > :06:57.to Iain Duncan-Smith. The point is the simple complicate it fact of the

:06:58. > :07:01.way the world operates. They are not saying Britain is not great. What is

:07:02. > :07:04.extraordinary is the people who want to leave the EU are complaining

:07:05. > :07:08.bitterly about Cameron being rude about them but here they are

:07:09. > :07:15.launching into a full frontal attack on the Prime Minister. It is

:07:16. > :07:17.inconsistent. This is where the arguments between the in group and

:07:18. > :07:20.the outgroup get in the way for a lot of people who are trying to

:07:21. > :07:24.plough their way through all of this. It comes about a political

:07:25. > :07:28.feud rather than the actual issues. The other one of which has been

:07:29. > :07:32.overlooked in all of these stories, are the EU countries we are leaving

:07:33. > :07:39.going to be in a mood to cut us a good deal if we leave? That seems to

:07:40. > :07:44.be a big question. In the Telegraph, patients die in 111 ambulance

:07:45. > :07:49.scandal. Can you sum it up for us? It seems that in the south-east,

:07:50. > :07:52.there was a particular ambulance trust who decided it could only meet

:07:53. > :07:55.targets if it secretly kept ambulance waiting for an extra ten

:07:56. > :07:59.minutes before they were sent out to emergency calls. The call handlers

:08:00. > :08:05.for I'm blazers were on their way, the people having after-tax thought

:08:06. > :08:10.ambulance is were on their way but they were delayed so that the trust

:08:11. > :08:16.could be seen to be meeting its targets. Now it is out it is a total

:08:17. > :08:19.scandal. It is part of the cuts. It is trust is desperately trying to do

:08:20. > :08:25.what they can while thinking they do not have the resources to do them.

:08:26. > :08:33.The one when one service has had a pretty bad rap, hasn't it? We must

:08:34. > :08:37.always used 999 and exaggerate our illnesses. 11 deaths linked to this

:08:38. > :08:44.essentially stopping the clock on calls on a certain number. Almost

:08:45. > :08:51.being downgraded as if they were not so important. They are very -- there

:08:52. > :08:57.is a sad case of a man who was waiting 35 minutes while having a

:08:58. > :09:02.heart attack and he died. He would probably have survived had the

:09:03. > :09:08.ambulance arrived. Many retail jobs will vanish by 2025. What a cheerful

:09:09. > :09:12.selection of front pages you have? There is nothing that is joyful. We

:09:13. > :09:17.will try to find something that is a bit funny. This is a rather

:09:18. > :09:21.depressing headline, isn't it? A million retail jobs to vanish,

:09:22. > :09:24.according to an industry body. They are saying pressure from the

:09:25. > :09:30.increased minimum wage is going to force them to cut back on jobs.

:09:31. > :09:36.George Osborne is hoping that by paying higher wages, employers will

:09:37. > :09:38.get more value out of their employees and make them worth more.

:09:39. > :09:43.Certainly retailers are warning that sales will shift online and a lot of

:09:44. > :09:49.jobs will go. They are saying it is about technology and the internet

:09:50. > :09:54.and the automated tools. It is pretty depressing. Automated tales

:09:55. > :09:58.are something that makes me want to commit physical violence! They make

:09:59. > :10:06.me want to cry. I would gladly pay more for a human being. One tell I

:10:07. > :10:10.have come across says, surprising item in baggage area explanation I

:10:11. > :10:16.would dread to think what I am shopping for. Finally, with the

:10:17. > :10:21.Financial Times, luxury flats lose lustre for foreign buyers. This is

:10:22. > :10:24.as close as we could find for getting good news out of papers.

:10:25. > :10:28.50,000 luxury flats are being built in London at the moment, very few of

:10:29. > :10:36.which are being bought by Londoners. Prime property is being bought by

:10:37. > :10:44.people abroad. Actually foreigners are up to them any longer. Are they

:10:45. > :10:46.in the wrong place? These are flats, including in Battersea Power

:10:47. > :10:50.Station, which would look like a very desirable place to live.

:10:51. > :10:54.Wouldn't it be great if Londoners could start to have flats that were

:10:55. > :10:57.built but Londoners could afford, instead of having storage boxes in

:10:58. > :11:05.the sky for the world was Max super rich? All sorts of strange things

:11:06. > :11:12.are happening. -- the world's super-rich. Arrival of final and

:11:13. > :11:18.cassette gives analogue new reach of life -- lease of life. We are going

:11:19. > :11:26.backwards. On a linear TV channel, we should not lament that, it should

:11:27. > :11:37.we? Keep watching in real-time. We'll be back again at 11:30 p.m..
