weekend. Super league action and Ireland's fate. That is all in 15 | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
minutes after The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
to what the the papers will be With me are Sue Matthias of the FT | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
and James Millar of the Sunday Post. The Times says Britain is suffering | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
from a sexting crisis with tens of thousands of schoolchildren | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
caught sharing sexual imagery online The Independent reports on warnings | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
that the North of England is in danger of becoming a cultural | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
wasteland as town hall leaders The Mail says the true scale | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
of immigration to Britain by EU citizens is being kept secret | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
by Government officials. The Telegraph reports benefits | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
payments to the disabled are to be cut in a move that could clear | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
the way for George Osborne to cut taxes for the middle | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
classes in the Budget. The FT says George Osborne faces | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
an eighteen billion pounds black hole that has opened up | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
in the economy since November. The Guardian reports on a warning | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
that Britain risks becoming "permanently divided" as a result | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
of intergenerational inequality. And the Sun has what it calls | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
an exclusive investigation into Victoria Beckham's | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
fashion company. A lot of focus on George Osborne | :01:21. | :01:34. | |
tonight. He might not like it. The Financial Times front page showing | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
no preference at all. George Osborne faces an ?18 billion Blackwall and | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
there are deeper spending cuts to come in the budget. Seems to have | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
got his sums wrong. It is a bit awkward. This is one of a number of | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
George Osborne related stories today and general budget related stories. | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
It has been discovered that the official size of the UK economy in | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
2015 was 1% smaller than they thought it was. That does not sound | :02:07. | :02:21. | |
a lot. It represents ?18 billion. How has he got it wrong? He will say | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
he hasn't got it wrong, it is the budget of fiscal responsibility that | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
come the predictions and they are to blame for the rubbish collections. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
But then the Treasury has to find the money to bridge the gap? He | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
likes to fix the roof when The Sun is shining, but according to the OBR | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
The Sun was shining in the autumn and he did not fix the roof. It can | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
work the other way around. He can benefit from this. He did in | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
November when it turned out that he had more money than any had to he | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
did not have to cut the tax credits. This sounds like it is going to be | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
back to this territory and it is unfortunate really. All someone has | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
to imagine how George might be thinking about this, not the most | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
popular man in Britain next week probably. He might be with some | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
depending on what he chooses to do. The interesting thing is that there | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
are a few of these George Osborne stories around. Usually the Treasury | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
would be pumping out stories to every paper with its prebudget | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
teaser, but they do not seem to have done that, perhaps because of the EU | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
referendum, hence you get the stories that the newspapers, with | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
themselves and their choosing to kick George Osborne. The Daily | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Telegraph looks at money in a different way. Welfare to be cut by | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
?1 billion to pave the way for tax breaks. On the one hand we have this | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Blackwall but he thinks he can find another billion pounds to help the | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
middle classes. Usually the argument is is that if you give the money to | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
low paid people they will spend the money anyway. It is a bit of a | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
George Osborne kicking story but it depends on your point of view, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
whether you are receiving welfare or you will be on the receiving end of | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
the tax break that probably determines how you approach this. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
What is going to apparently mean is that he's going to raise the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
threshold for 40p tax, so hundreds of thousands of people will be | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
pulled out of the higher tax rate. By raising that to ?50,000 is not | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
called to happen until 2020, so how that help now. He's trying to push | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
on with this because it was in the manifesto but I am wary of the idea | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
that the 40p tax rate is for the middle classes because the average | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
income is in the mid to high ?20,000. We're talking about the | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
squeeze middle, you're not rich when you are earning ?50,000 of the | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
people might like to earn that much. But in parts of the country that | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
amount of money is not huge. But affects hundreds of thousands of | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
people then that is substantial. This is being offset in The | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Telegraph against potential enormous losses to disabled people. Disabled | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
people will lose our proportion of their benefit and they have already | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
seen it squeezed. He will reject the points system so that you get less | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
points if you need help going to the toilet or getting dressed. It sounds | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
like an unsavoury way to save money. Welfare has been kicked into touch | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
by the Lords, but they have been warned not to do the game. Yes. In | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
The Times, schools are hit by sexting academic. Children risked | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
damage. It seems that the argument here is that if there was better sex | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
education, mandatory sex education, they could address these issues and | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
warn children about the risks of getting involved in sending images | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
of themselves. There is one thing I don't understand first paragraph | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
refers to children sharing sexual imagery online. I thought sexting | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
meant sending pictures to each other. Once it is out there it can | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
end up online. They do define it as sharing the in mobile phone, WebCam, | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
or website. There have been experiments to show children if you | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
send a picture how far it can go and how quickly, but the worrying thing | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
is that it is not just children who are seen in some of these pictures. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
It is tricky because as grown-ups we did not have sexting, and you think | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
it is a terrible thing. Rightly or wrongly, it is a normal thing. It | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
seems to be something that a lot of kids do. More than one in ten cases | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
involved an adult. A terrible story of the 16-year-old sharing a with | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
the paedophile and possible gang grooming going on. The numbers are | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
really large. 44,000 secondary school pupils in the last three | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
years. A teenager can end up with a criminal record, because it is | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
illegal to send these images, even if it is of yourself and is to | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
someone you know. They want schools to have to report it when they come | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
across it, at the moment it is at the discretion. It seems | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
straightforward, do mandatory sex education, but the government voted | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
it down recently. I struggled to see what the problem is. Does preclude | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
schools, even if they are not having to give sex education, they can | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
still talk about these issues, can they not? It would send a strong | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
message of the government said you had to do sex education. A pitcher | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
story now. The question that is posed is whether America is being | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
made to hate again after another incident of Valley -- incident of | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
violence at the Donald Trump protest. There are protests taking | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
place at some of his rallies, which are supposed to be peaceful but then | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
violence can flare. It is hard to follow and really understand. I | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
don't know quite what Donald Trump is about at the moment. The story | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
today seems to shows using supporters to jump in and have a | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
goal and the good fight, and at the same he is presenting, beginning to | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
present, are much more nuanced image. He is trying. It is open to | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
interpretation. He could be speaking metaphorically and saying stand up | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
for yourself. I'm trying to be generous. He did say there is land | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
his America that is quite inflammatory. If someone turns up at | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
his rally and shows something, and someone had the guy in the face. He | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
was interviewed afterwards and he said he deserved it and if he comes | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
back again he will kill him. There was a reporter who was verbally | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
abused as well by one of his officials. There is an area of the | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
bully about him and his campaign. It is going to be interesting to see | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
how that begins to develop as he moves towards the nomination. It is | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
tighter than we are led to believe. We can say with The Independent. The | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
betrayal of the North, it can be turned into a cultural wasteland due | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
to the closure of galleries and museums. Some difficult decisions | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
that councils have to make and it seems that museums could be for the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
chop. George Osborne in the frame again here. It is his austerity | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
measures. They are forcing the slashing of the budgets. Museums are | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
closing their doors all over the North. There was a report earlier in | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
the week saying that he was going to allow higher council tax hills, | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
wasn't he? It would be up to a council tax to decide how to set the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
level and spend the money. If they wanted to raise the taxes they would | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
have the money to save these resources. The northern powerhouse | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
needs to involve culture. A lot of people in Whitehall think the zero | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
is -- think that the North is a cultural badlands and when they | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
think of culture they think of London and the museums they like to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
go to that get the attention. The northern powerhouse is centred on | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
Manchester, Leeds, not Durham and there is a number in here which is | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
worrying, in the small print here, that Durham County Council faces | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
cuts of more than ?370 million. That is a massive figure. Not all aimed | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
at the arts, but as a whole. The culture of the North is not purely | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
in their museums. What I'm trying to say is that the northern powerhouse, | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
that policy isn't evenly spread across the North. Finally, letters | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
look at The Daily Telegraph. Driverless cars in Haddington Road | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
near you soon, including heavy goods vehicles. All connected with one | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
driver. There will be a driver in his lorry. Not a driver, a person. | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
She will not actually be touchingly real. I think we should have robots | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
touchingly real. That is coming. How do these things work? Magic. It is | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
delivered cameras and lean fencing technology meaning the vehicles | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
follow each other. They maintain a safe distance between them. When one | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
stops the other stops. Robots are better than people at this sort of | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
stuff. The interesting question is who is liable if one of those things | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
cost of the serious accident? Sending robots to prison. We know | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
how well automated systems work in the studio with cameras doing their | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
own thing. Thank you for now. Thank you Sue and James, | :13:14. | :13:23. | |
you'll both be back at 11.30pm for another look at the stories | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
making the news tomorrow. But coming up next, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
it's time for Sportsday. I'm Tim Hague and we have | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
plenty for you tonight. Rafael Benitez is named | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
the new manager, after Steve McLaren | :13:45. | :13:47. |
