:00:00. > :00:11.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment.

:00:12. > :00:15.Great to see you both much thanks for coming in.

:00:16. > :00:20.Seamus Daly, the man accused of murdering 29 people in the Omagh

:00:21. > :00:22.bombing 18 years ago, has been released from prison,

:00:23. > :00:25.after the case against him collapsed.

:00:26. > :00:28.The UN has warned that Europe is on the cusp of a largely

:00:29. > :00:30.self-induced humanitarian disaster, because of a rapid build-up

:00:31. > :00:36.And Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are battling for their parties'

:00:37. > :00:39.nominations for the US presidency, as voters in 11 states head

:00:40. > :00:46.Shares in Barclays have fallen sharply, after the bank announced

:00:47. > :00:54.a cut in dividends and plans to restructure.

:00:55. > :00:57.In Sportsday, Leicester City have been in action trying to extend

:00:58. > :01:00.their lead at the top of the Premier their lead at the top of the Premier

:01:01. > :01:03.League. Big night too for teams at the bottom of the table.

:01:04. > :01:10.Bournemouth, one of those fighting to avoid relegation.

:01:11. > :01:14.We'll have more on why Yorkshire cricket legend Geoff Boycott isn't

:01:15. > :01:16.being welcomed back by the board at his home club. That's after the

:01:17. > :01:27.papers in 15 minutes. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:01:28. > :01:30.to what the the papers will be With me are Simon Watkins,

:01:31. > :01:34.City editor of the Mail on Sunday, and the deputy editor

:01:35. > :01:45.of The New Day, Dawn Alford. We start with the I, it accuses big

:01:46. > :01:49.building developers of making money out of the country's housing crisis.

:01:50. > :01:53.The FT leads on the turmoil at Barclays, whose shares have fallen

:01:54. > :01:58.sharply today. The Express carries news of a new low calorie liquid

:01:59. > :02:02.diet, it says can beat diabetes in 12 weeks. The telegraph says Tory

:02:03. > :02:06.MPs are calling on the Chancellor to cut income tax in this month's

:02:07. > :02:11.Budget. The Metro warns that young people may have to wait till they're

:02:12. > :02:16.75 before claiming a state pension. The New Day focuses on the story of

:02:17. > :02:20.a young cystic fibrosis sufferer releasing a charity single backed by

:02:21. > :02:25.a number of celebrities. The Guardian says unless Europe tackles

:02:26. > :02:30.the growing refugee crisis it faces a humanitarian disaster. We're

:02:31. > :02:36.already there, aren't we? We start with the Metro. Workers must wait

:02:37. > :02:39.until they're 75 to retire. Now that is going to make a lot of people

:02:40. > :02:44.choke on their cornflakes when they read it. It will indeed. It's a bit

:02:45. > :02:48.speculative. I don't think it's inaccurate in the sense that the

:02:49. > :02:53.spark for this news is that the Government has appointed the former

:02:54. > :02:57.chief of the CBI to carry out a review as to whether the pension age

:02:58. > :03:01.is affordable. You don't do that unless you suspect it might not be.

:03:02. > :03:07.We're already heading for older retirement. I think 67 by 2018, I

:03:08. > :03:12.think. At the moment, I don't think the expectations are that the

:03:13. > :03:16.retirement age will get to 70 until 2050s, 2060s. But the fact this

:03:17. > :03:20.review has been ordered it might be earlier than that. The coalition

:03:21. > :03:24.Government put into law that the situation with pensions must be

:03:25. > :03:27.reviewed every Parliament. Isn't this simply part of that? Are we all

:03:28. > :03:32.getting worried about something that might not happen? I think so. It's

:03:33. > :03:39.scaremongering to a certain extent. Clearly, we do need to work later.

:03:40. > :03:43.Getting older. Wear an ageing population. There was a time that we

:03:44. > :03:49.worked until we were 65 and you know, unfortunately, we died at 67.

:03:50. > :03:56.So if we need to work until we're 70 and hopefully die when we're in our

:03:57. > :04:01.90s, then so be it really. It's part and parcel of us being responsible

:04:02. > :04:05.and realising that we're an ageing population, thank goodness for -

:04:06. > :04:11.There's a bright side to this. It's a sign that we're all living longer.

:04:12. > :04:15.They reckon that a third of people born today, or this year, will live

:04:16. > :04:20.until they're 100. I know. It's great news. I think as long as you

:04:21. > :04:25.can perhaps find a job that you love, then there's nothing so

:04:26. > :04:29.For most of us, it gets us out of For most of us, it gets us out of

:04:30. > :04:33.bed in the morning. It's part of who we are. And why we get up in the

:04:34. > :04:37.morning. So I don't think it's a bad thing. A bit of philosophy for you.

:04:38. > :04:40.Confucius say if you can find the job you love, you'll never go to

:04:41. > :04:45.work again. There you go! You get all sorts on the papers tonight. You

:04:46. > :04:51.know what, I'm still looking! There you go. I'll look out for you. I was

:04:52. > :04:56.fed that by the director by the way. We're on the Telegraph. Cut tax

:04:57. > :05:02.again Osborne told, the Chancellor urged to help middle-class workers

:05:03. > :05:07.as figures show scrapping 50p ban raised 50 million for the kegger. He

:05:08. > :05:13.has a budget coming up. March 16 is the budget. I will cut through that

:05:14. > :05:18.and say this is about obviously, him appealing to the grass-roots section

:05:19. > :05:21.of the Conservative Party and it becomes the George versus Boris

:05:22. > :05:26.show. That's what this is about entirely. We will see everything

:05:27. > :05:33.through that prism now. Rightly so. That's absolutely true. Cuts in

:05:34. > :05:39.taxes have been talked about for some time. I think it's about,

:05:40. > :05:45.they're talking about the difference between 5p. It's almost about tax

:05:46. > :05:49.avoidance. They're talking about people won't, they will make more

:05:50. > :05:55.money by lowering the rate. I'm not sure that's entirely ethical. Can we

:05:56. > :05:58.afford this? Are we heading for another recession, the ship is

:05:59. > :06:02.heading to the rocks? He has a difficult budget coming up. He's

:06:03. > :06:07.not, at the moment, on target to easily hit his own deficit reduction

:06:08. > :06:10.targets. He will miss them. It's counterintuitive that cutting taxes

:06:11. > :06:19.can raise more money, but it can in certain circumstances. On the face

:06:20. > :06:23.of it - Let's not get into the nitty gritty, but it can work. But it

:06:24. > :06:27.would be foolish for Osborne and some of the party behind him to

:06:28. > :06:30.think you can do that, that happens forever. If in certain circumstances

:06:31. > :06:36.you cut tax and you happen to generate more money that means you

:06:37. > :06:39.can keep cutting taxes and you can get more money, that's not how it

:06:40. > :06:43.works. He has a difficult budget to get through. Cutting taxes might be

:06:44. > :06:47.far harder than some of his backbenchers think. The spotlight's

:06:48. > :06:53.very much on him, to produce and to do something. OK. The Daily

:06:54. > :07:00.Telegraph - schools urged to end rugby tackles. I find this whole

:07:01. > :07:03.issue fascinating, as a mum of actually a 13-year-old girl, but

:07:04. > :07:07.nevertheless I have friends that have children and go out and put

:07:08. > :07:11.them on a rugby pitch every Saturday or Sunday morning and constantly I

:07:12. > :07:15.see pictures on Facebook or get texts saying their child is in

:07:16. > :07:21.hospital. A friend of mine just last weekend, their child was in hospital

:07:22. > :07:24.with concussion at ten years old. Rugby, I'm sure, is marvellous. I

:07:25. > :07:31.frankly, can't see the attraction in it. I hated it at school. I loved

:07:32. > :07:37.it. Did you? Children are losing teeth at best. At worst, they're

:07:38. > :07:41.breaking bones. And getting concussion. So they're saying it

:07:42. > :07:46.will be a noncontact sport, like touch rugby or something? Some

:07:47. > :07:51.doctors are urging that it should be scaled down. It is a rough sport.

:07:52. > :07:55.Children are reasonably fragile. They're still growing. We've done a

:07:56. > :07:59.piece tomorrow in the New Day looking at both sides of the

:08:00. > :08:06.argument about a doctor saying that it's a casualty doctor as well, I

:08:07. > :08:10.see so many children coming in, with horrific injuries and perhaps yes,

:08:11. > :08:13.for a few years, until their bones grow and they get older and can make

:08:14. > :08:17.the choice for themselves. That could be the way forward, you just

:08:18. > :08:21.don't play rugby when you are particularly young? That seems

:08:22. > :08:26.perfectly reasonable to me. My solution at school was actually

:08:27. > :08:32.always - To avoid it! Yes and then no-one tackled you. OK, let's go to

:08:33. > :08:37.Dawn, your paper, the New Day. Interesting story this, you've got

:08:38. > :08:40.Katie Price on the front - brave or cruel Katie's shock confession about

:08:41. > :08:47.blind Harvey. She was one of the panellists on Loose Women today and

:08:48. > :08:52.say what you like about her, she's very honest as a person. She said on

:08:53. > :09:01.the programme today that if she'd known that her son, Harvey, who

:09:02. > :09:04.suffers from a genetic condition and he's blind and he's disabled, if

:09:05. > :09:08.she'd have known about that before she gave birth to him or when she

:09:09. > :09:14.was pregnant, she may well have had an abortion. Now, clearly, that's

:09:15. > :09:17.cause aid massive Twitter storm, both throughout - For those people

:09:18. > :09:22.who have Twitter, that's a big thing. If you don't, which is most

:09:23. > :09:26.of the country... No a lot of people are talking about it. I hate that

:09:27. > :09:31.phrase "Twitter storm". Did I say that? I so apologise. We know what

:09:32. > :09:36.it means, though. You know what it means, yeah. I'll try to avoid that

:09:37. > :09:41.in the future. I think she's been very brave. She's very honest. I

:09:42. > :09:46.think she's 37 now, what she does say is that yes, she would have had

:09:47. > :09:49.an abortion had she known, but she was only 23 at the time. You think a

:09:50. > :09:54.lot of women might have taken the same decision? She is saying that a

:09:55. > :09:57.lot of women at that same young age might have taken the same decision.

:09:58. > :10:02.She's received a lot of sympathy? She has. And now 14 years later,

:10:03. > :10:07.she's saying, of course, she would never be without Harvey and

:10:08. > :10:10.actually, she'd adopt a child with similar problems or foster a child

:10:11. > :10:15.with similar problems and actually, I think she's getting quite a lot of

:10:16. > :10:19.support out there on Twitter and Facebook and other social media

:10:20. > :10:23.places and within the papers, because just for her honesty and

:10:24. > :10:27.bravery, which is something I never thought I'd say this about Katie

:10:28. > :10:31.Price... That's to be applauded, no question about it. She's raised the

:10:32. > :10:35.issue. We're going to chat more about the New Day and how well it's

:10:36. > :10:43.doing, it's only started hitting the shops and so on this week. We're

:10:44. > :10:51.going straight to the Telegraph now. Cracking photo this. Amazing.

:10:52. > :10:56.Hillary and Bill Clinton at the wedding of Donald Trump. All smiles.

:10:57. > :11:03.I doubt very much that you'd get them in a photo smiling quite like

:11:04. > :11:09.that. It's 11 years old, this shot, as you might tell from the faces of

:11:10. > :11:15.some of the individuals in it. They look fresh faced. They do. She looks

:11:16. > :11:21.exactly the same now, somehow. I wonder why that is - funny (! )

:11:22. > :11:25.They're looking so adoringly at each other. They look like they're

:11:26. > :11:28.genuine friends. One wonders if there will be a vestige of

:11:29. > :11:33.friendship after this race if they both win the nomination. None at

:11:34. > :11:37.all. Remember how rich this gentleman is at this point and

:11:38. > :11:40.still. All right, we have to end it there.

:11:41. > :11:42.You'll both be back at 11.30pm for another look at the stories

:11:43. > :12:00.making the news tomorrow. But coming up next it's time for Sportsday.

:12:01. > :12:09.Hello, this is Sportsday, live from the BBC Sport Centre.
