to defend their Davis Cup title. And we look forward to their women's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
football team, taking on the US team overnight. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are Miranda Green from the Financial Times and the Telegraph's | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
The i leads with what it calls the "plea to Britain" | :00:22. | :00:34. | |
by France and Germany for a vote to stay in the EU. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
And the Guardian says that Hollande's comments raised the | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
prospect of the Calais refugee camp known as the Jungle moving to Kent. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Staying with Europe, Donald Tusk's appeal to economic | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
migrants not to travel to the EU makes the lead in the Express. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Former Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond is planning | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
an audacious takeover of his old bank's African arm, reports the FT. | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
The Telegraph says that Chancellor George Osborne is set to abolish | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
pension tax relief for higher earners in this month's budget. | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
The Times reports that a cure for cancer is closer thanks to | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
a ground-breaking new treatment developed by British scientists. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
That story too on the Daily Mail, it asks whether a cure for cancer could | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
New sentencing guidelines on internet trolls could mean they | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
are sentenced to five years in prison, says the New Day. | :01:23. | :01:36. | |
A lot of stories, the EU dominating today after David Cameron meeting | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
Francois Hollande. It gets interesting, doesn't it? It is about | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
tactics and who says what and who you can believe. Absolutely, the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
question is whether it is useful to David Cameron, to have Francois | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Hollande weighing into the British debate. Warning the Brits not to | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
vote for out. He is saying this is not a question of threatening the | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
French are between our nations, but we should point out that various | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
things will change, not least the arrangements to do with immigration, | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
where immigrants through Europe are stopped at the French coast at the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
moment, hence the Jungle camp in Calais. It is interesting, because | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
obviously they don't want Britain to leave the EU, partly because they | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
have their own domestic problems. Some say that Francois Hollande | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
would have said this anyway with or without David Cameron by his side. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Perhaps, but David Cameron has been touring the countries of Europe | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
trying to shore up support. In France, Marine Le Pen, the head of | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
the Front National, which is far right, has said she has been taking | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
inspiration from what has been happening in the UK, and in the | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
presidential election in France she will be promising Frexit, after | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
Brexit. An interesting response from those who want to leave the EU. It | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
quotes Chris Grayling in the Guardian, doesn't it? Yes, who is | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
obviously an outer. He describes the comments as desperate. He accused | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
the Euro elite of teaming up with big business to pile pressure on | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
British voters. This is clearly going to be a strategy. We already | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
have project fear, which, as with the UK Unionists in the Scottish | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Referendum, were accused of project fear, scaremongering about the | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
possible consequences of Scotland leaving the union. That is what the | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
outers are now doing against the inners. The idea of the Euro elite | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
is interesting, because it plays into that global, apparently, | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
trend. Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
all these men of the people, political figures, on very different | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
sides of national political spectrum is, but all taking a stand | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
apparently against the established political elite. That seems to be a | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
zeitgeist among voters on both sides of the Atlantic, and clearly | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
something Chris Grayling is trying to tap into. Then you have David | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Cameron fighting back against that by reminding everyone that David | :04:41. | :04:52. | |
Icke is fought out. They say they want to make it a mainstream opinion | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
for the status quo. Business continues to George Osborne, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
according to your paper. Osborne under fire over radical tax relief | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
plan. That is coming soon, isn't it? That's right. The budget is | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
March 17, and this is the traditional prebudget row, which is | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
often about pensions, because it is such an enormous part of the | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
expenditure. How we pay for our ageing population. This is | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
interesting also. It looks like George Osborne has fallen out with | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Roz Altman, who was made pensions minister, even though she used to be | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
a campaigner. She does not want George Osborne to make these radical | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
changes that he seems to be thinking of making in the budget. That is | :05:51. | :06:02. | |
quite interesting. The idea is that if you pay into a pension plan you | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
get tax relief at source, so if you are a higher rate taxpayer and you | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
get up to 45%, your tax comes back and that is invested and grows over | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
the long-term. The idea is apparently to turn that around so | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
you would pay tax on your income as you receive it in your working life, | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
so the amount you would put into your pension pot would be lower, but | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
then the money you would get back out of your pension pot would be | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
tax-free when you retire. So effectively the idea is that it is | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
just a switch, that you would pay tax earlier. For George Osborne, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
that is terribly convenient because he would get about | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
10,000,000,000-a-year upfront, which is about the seventh of the deficit | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
as it currently stands, which is worth having. You have to remember | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
that these changes in pensions... Pensions very competent thing. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Gordon Brown did a very famous tax raid on pensions when he first came | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
into office as Chancellor. It was supposed to cost 5 billion a year, | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and Vote 2014 it was costing double that. Combined with increases in | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
life expectancy and changing investment yields, the British | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
salary pension system, which was the envy of the world, was almost | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
completely destroyed. So, you tamper at your peril. And the incentives as | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
well. If you are trying to deal with incentivising people to save, it is | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
extremely sensitive. There is also the issue of the Conservative Party | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
whacking their own voters. And a concern about people spending their | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
pensions too quickly. If you are middle-class conservative voter in | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
the south-east of England, had you provide to your retirement without | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
George Osborne bashing you? You wouldn't do this in a budget just | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
before a general election, I think it is fair to say focus on Adam | :08:09. | :08:31. | |
Johnson here,. It is a slightly mischievous story, suggesting he | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
will play with a team while he is in prison. The question today is about | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
what Sunderland football team knew, or didn't know, and why they allowed | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
him to carry on playing when they knew about his allegations. The | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
question of course is that he said he would contest all the | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
allegations, and the fact that he changed his plea on some of the | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
minor charges on the eve of his trial, they say came as a complete | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
shock to them. If that is true, then they were entitled to conclude he | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
was innocent until proven guilty. The presidential candidate race | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
hasn't featured as much as I expected. It has been quite | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
fascinating, hasn't hit? Yet another extraordinary day in the American | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
race to select the candidates for the presidential race. This | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
afternoon, Mitt Romney, who failed to become president last time | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
against Barack Obama, has launched an extraordinary attack on Donald | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Trump, saying his promises are worthless, that essentially a con | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
artist. This is part of the operation that is being mounted by | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
the Republican Party to save America from their own man. It is | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
extraordinary to watch, because on one level you anticipate that an | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
intervention will be made to stop Donald Trump, but attacking him | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
doesn't seem to work. It is getting a bit late, isn't it? It is on the | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
cusp. Imagine if Jeremy Corbyn was massively ahead in the up union | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
polls, if the Labour establishment decided they had to stop him. This | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
is the equivalent of wheeling Ed Miliband out. Mitt Romney was a big | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
loser in 2012, and if he is the best the Republican Party has got to save | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
itself from itself... You have done a bit of research, haven't you? It | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
looks like it could step back into this campaign. He has been | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
speculating in the mass media. On his website, it says that it is paid | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
for by his campaign for president, which may be vestigial. It says he | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
and his wife are praying for the future of the country. And it talks | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
about a brokered convention to try to block him, as well. I was just | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
going to say, it is extraordinary. The psychology of it. The Jeremy | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Corbyn comparison is quite a good one, because normally in a political | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
race... I wonder how the Jeremy Corbyn feels about being compared to | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
Donald Trump! There was a stop Jeremy Corbyn campaign, because | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
people don't like the idea of a stitch up. Interestingly, the vote | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
goes to the public on which is a real insight into American feeling | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
right now. And the way they do it, the fact it goes on for months, and | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
it is caucuses where people meet up and talk about it as well as | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
primaries, where they vote. The US pundits are saying that a week on | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Tuesday, when Florida and Ohio vote, both of them are winner take | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
all states, so all of Florida's delegates go to whoever wins that | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
state. In the Democratic primary they split all the delegates | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
proportionally, so if you win a state 55 -45, you get 55% of the | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
delegates, not 100%. This has gone to lawyers in the past, hasn't it? | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
It has gone to litigation, to the Supreme Court, in the year 2000. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
When we get to it, this is probably a fight against Hillary Clinton. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Could Mitt Romney beat Hillary Clinton? He couldn't beat Barack | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Obama? We have months to talk about this. I think you have to be careful | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
of cancer stories, haven't you? Sometimes take over egg it -- they. | :12:59. | :13:14. | |
This seems to be a personalised treatment where you can take an | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
injection and it will destroy every malignant cell in your body, even if | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
you are the final stage of terminal cancer. This is from a repeatable | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
institution. The doctor in charge says, I will be disappointed if we | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
haven't treated a patient within two years. If this doesn't work I will | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
probably hang up my hat and do something else. And we squeeze in | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
the Daily Telegraph, because this is a story close to my heart. I am | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
moving out into the sticks and a couple of months and I'm worried | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
about broadband. I don't know what I'm going to do. Good luck with | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
that. You might need a satellite. There is a place in | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
Gloucestershire, which has miserly broadband speed. It would take five | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
days to download a film. It is hilarious, isn't it. It would be | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
funny, but it is a real problem. The state of broadband and connectivity | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
across the UK has become a huge issue. There is an argument, a very | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
strong one, for saying that actually broadband should be treated like any | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
other essential utility, and part of the infrastructure, if you actually | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
want the economy to structure -- function properly. Many more people | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
work from home these days. If you can. There is broadband, but not as | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
you have got used to it if you live in the city. There are variations in | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
speed, et cetera. And strange dead spots. Didn't David Cameron say | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
there would be fast broadband in every home in the country by 2020? | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
Yes, that was part of the agenda. Brian Miller... The battle goes on. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Unless they decide this is an essential service, like the | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
utilities, it is not going to happen. It will be expensive to | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
cable the entire British Isles. Everyone needs to gang up in a | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
village and get it installed. Thank you for joining us. Sportsday is | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
next. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, | :15:42. | :15:53. | |
I'm Sarah Walton. Three medals for Great | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Britain on day two of the | :15:58. | :16:01. |
