Labour. The pledge of AU indiscipline. -- iron. | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
McDonald is being very wise. After the election, it is clear the | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Conservatives didn't win it and the Labour lost it on the issue of | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
fiscal credibility. He is trying to say that he will balance the budget | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
in five years and moreover he will borrow money and spend that an | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
investment. So it says there will be no shortcut for regaining financial | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
credibility with the electorate. We have a long way to go before we can | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
regain the trust that was lost after the financial crisis of 2008, which | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
happened on Labour's watch. There is no silver bullet. It is key that | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Labour also has other people who want to be the Chancellor. We have | :02:28. | :02:40. | |
Rachel Reeds, Angela Eagle and today we had Dan Jarvis talking about how | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
he would do it better. Can Labour balance the budget? I hope so. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Labour have addressed this in the past and acknowledged that they have | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
to rebuild trust over the economy. Absolutely. If you look at how far | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
behind George Osborne and David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Ed Balls | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
were on economic credibility, they were quite a long way behind. But | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
McDonald and Corby are even further behind. The report into why Labour | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
lost the election raised this issue quite broadly. One of the things it | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
said was that Labour should never have given up the fight about | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
allowing the Conservatives to pin the blame for the economic crash | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
onto Labour and a lot of people said Labour should have fought back of a | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
lot more harshly. It is interesting to hear McDonald say that it | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
happened on their watch. He is not quite accepting any responsibility, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
but he says, look, we were there, it was our watch and to that extent we | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
do bear responsibility for the time that it happened. To what extent is | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
what he seemed slight revision of what he has previously said about | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
how or we balance the books and over what timescale? In terms of talking | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
about how he would balance it, it isn't too far different from what we | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
have said before. They have been talking about balancing the | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
day-to-day budget and about a link to invest before. I think the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
difference is that he is talking about it happening over on | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Parliament, says there is more meat on the bones, he is talking about | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
giving new tough powers to the AB are hold the government to account. | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
-- ABR. The report to Parliament, rather than the government. And if | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
the ABR thinks the government isn't being credible or is pushing the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
boundaries of borrowing then it can raise the alarm. So there are few | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
new measures, whether it works or convincing the public is another | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
thing. But you've got to start somewhere. Let's look at Obama on | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
the Independent. It says Obama savages Cameron over Libya, blaming | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
France and the UK for not doing enough to stop Libya turning into a | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
mess. I would love to be a party to the communications that are whizzing | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
across the Atlantic as we speak. Downing Street must have been taken | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
completely by surprise. It was an interview given to a magazine, it | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
wasn't some off-the-cuff or overheard remark. It is right up | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
there. This is Obama saying exactly what he thinks in public. It is | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
quite an unusual thing for a sitting president to do. This was a Game of | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
Thrones, House of Cards full frontal attack in writing. You can imagine | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
the hotline between the US and the UK Robert Aleem burnt through. -- | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
probably burnt through. It is unprecedented for him to put the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
boot to Prime Minister while they are both in office. Even though this | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
issue of Benghazi has its own echo in the States, what the president is | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
saying is you showed up to the game and walked away at half-time and | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
look at the mess and we laid firmly at your door. This is savage. Well, | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
the White House has told the BBC, they are keen to make it clear, that | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
the United States deeply values the special relationship with Britain. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
This was just hours after the criticism. For David Cameron, he has | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
a lot going on domestically at the moment. The next election is a while | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
away. Bat Francois Hollande has an election coming up. -- But. This | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
could be a real kick in the teeth for him. The youth think this | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
matters to the French people? They know France was involved in the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
airstrikes. The thing is, if people join the dots about what happened in | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
2011 to what happened in France in 2015 and the current crisis, which | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
is knocking on the door of Europe, yes, I think Hollande could be in | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
trouble. But there was a lot of commentary about the fact that | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
President Obama hasn't got involved to the extent that a lot of people | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
would have liked him to in problems in the Middle East. He made it | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
clearly wasn't going to, didn't he? You could understand I suppose, not | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
necessarily here in Britain, but you could understand his frustration, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
but America has asked to do so much and Brits -- and gets criticised | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
when they do it. They were trying to make sure they weren't getting too | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
big for their boots with China. They have left a lot to the Europeans to | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
sort out. This is him saying, look, you haven't cut the mustard. Moving | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
onto the Telegraph. Cash probe. Labour MP stepping aside and the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Telegraph says it is because of an investigation that they've held into | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
events at Parliament. This is all wonderfully incestuous, how the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
common standard system works. We've got this commissioner who has made a | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
complaint about how an MP has acted. One of the MPs on that panel has now | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
had a complaint made about them to the commission. The commissioner is | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
now investigating him and will go back to the panel that he sits on. | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
What is his name? Kevin Barron. He has stepped aside, not stepped down. | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
Legally, the overarching issue is whether Parliament is suffering and | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
equally whether MPs should regulate themselves. Because some members of | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
this body are not MPs and whether they should have a right to | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
adjudicate upon naughty MPs, and bring them into line. This has been | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
questioned. At the moment they are merely advising and they don't have | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
any right on that panel. Lord Lester, a very famous QC, is looking | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
at this whole issue of whether Lady members of this panel can regulate | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
their MP peers. -- lay members. The issue of sleaze was raised in the | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
90s. That's right. The whole issue is that recently we had Sir Malcolm | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
Rifkind and Jack Straw saying laws were barred by this issue as well. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
It was pertinent and a question that is going to come back time and time | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
again. The Daily Mail. Outrageous to dismiss the public's concerns. A | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
warning that the Archbishop of Canterbury says, it isn't right to | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
fear migration. It is we need to address the questions raised by | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
migration head-on. If you look at what has happened over the past 20 | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
years, there are many people out there saying it is the fact that the | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
fears haven't been addressed that has led in the UK and around Europe | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
to the rise of more marginal political groups. Because they are | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the people who are talking about immigration first when the | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
mainstream parties perhaps weren't addressing the fears that people | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
had. So this is the Archbishop sort of coming to this debate now. What | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
he is saying is saying isn't particularly controversial. Other | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
people have saying we need to address these fears. As Johnson has | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
been talking about it. -- Boris Johnson. But he is the Archbishop | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
and it is important that he is giving voice to this issue. I am | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
obviously the daughter of an immigrant. The debate goes way | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
back, it goes back until... It is the issue that Englishness, is it so | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
essential that it would be destroyed by immigration? Is it really saying | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
that? Or is it about the practical issues of if you have tens of | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
thousands of people arriving all at one time where do they live? Where | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
do they go to school? I agree. It is perfectly normal to feel that you | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
love parts of your country and your heritage and when there is a | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
fundamental change, paradigms shift, which happens all at once, that is | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
normal to react in a way that you would be concerned or worried. -- a | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
paradigm shift. That is normal and I agree entirely with the Archbishop. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Let's have a look at the Sun. These are pictures of Madonna on stage, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
suggesting she had been drinking, but we don't know whether she had. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
And the story is around access to two of her children. Yes. I think, | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
like most mothers, we would be conflicted with this story. First of | :11:54. | :12:06. | |
all, her sons are based overseas, one is adopted, money is adopted, on | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
his/her own son, and it is this idea of how children change. -- one is | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
her own. It is how you deal with this in modern families. I have a | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
lot of sympathy for Madonna. I don't think it should be played out in | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
public and I certainly don't think it would be right for me to comment | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
any further. No, and of course it's a horrible matter and it is a rather | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
lurid headline. But behind it a family in a great deal of pain. Yes. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
It shouldn't necessarily be completely played out in public, but | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
then again Madonna is there onstage talking about it. These days | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
especially people do kind of live their lives through celebrities, | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
when celebrities go through something people relate to it and | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
talk to -- about it more. Maybe one thing that will come out of it is | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
people will talk more about this custody battles and that could be a | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
good thing. The Times. Firstly, Cambridge students in political | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
correctness row. There were supposed to be students at Pembroke College | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
who are going to hold a themed party but decided against it. Why was | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
that? There is a strange atmosphere in universities at the moment, | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
whether people are being too politically correct about issues. We | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
obviously had the thing with Cecil Rose and at Cambridge we have the | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
issue of the bronze chicken, but I think was taken from Nigeria and | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
they were talking about sending it back. -- that I think. There's | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
nothing wrong with holding a party based on around the world in 80 days | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
but given there is this atmosphere at the moment, the potential for | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
offence was so great, but they just called it. The offence was supposed | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
to because the buy dressing in costumes of different cultures. One | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
of the first memories I have is of dressing in national costume. What | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
it is one thing to get your national costume and another to dress in | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
another's cultural costume. I like to dress my twins as a cowboy and | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
native Indian. You do? Not any more. It is not seem to be politically | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
correct. But an Indian headdress on a child, unless they are a native | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
American. -- don't put. This is music to my ears! I think we have | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
some breaking news in a second. I shall have a look at that in a | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
moment. Staying with the Times. A picture of a little dog. It is | :15:04. | :15:16. | |
called" -- called 'Stupid Dog Picture'. This one has its hair in | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
curlers. It isn't so stupid. Culturally insensitive, I'm sure! It | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
is the whole idea that when you turn to social media people in equal | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
numbers talk about their dogs, their cats and their children. It's a | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
multi-million pound industry and moreover people want to know which | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
breed is this and who is doing what. But it isn't a lot of dignity | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
for that dog. No, but it brings in the billions like to watch and | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
equally like to see what happening. I have a crossbreed, formerly known | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
as a mongrel. She would not take kindly to that happening. Thank you | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
both for looking at the papers for us tonight. A bit of breaking news. | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
The former US presidential candidate Ben Carson has announced that he is | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
going to endorse Donald Trump in his race for the White House. That's | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
just come to us via Reuters, quoting the Washington Post. The former US | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
presidential candidate Ben Carson will endorse Donald Trump. Coming up | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
next, | :16:31. | :16:31. |
