league action and Ireland's favourite cricket, the Twenty20 | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
World Cup. That's all in 15 minutes after The Papers. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are Sue Matthias, of the FT, and James Millar, | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The Times says Britain is suffering from a sexting crisis with tens | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
of thousands of schoolchildren caught sharing sexual imagery online | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
The Independent reports on warnings that the North of England is | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
in danger of becoming a cultural wasteland as town hall leaders are | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
The Mail says the true scale of immigration to Britain by EU | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
citizens is being kept secret by Government officials. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
The Telegraph reports benefits payments to | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
the disabled are to be reduced in a move that could clear the way | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
for George Osborne to cut taxes for the middle classes in the Budget. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
The FT says Mr Osborne faces an ?18 billion black hole that has opened | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
The Guardian reports on a warning that Britain risks becoming | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
"permanently divided" as a result of intergenerational inequality. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
And the Sun has what it calls an "exclusive investigation" into | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Starting with a couple of stories to do with the economy. Firstly, the | :01:18. | :01:33. | |
FT. George Osborne faces ?18 million black hole is the headline. Before | :01:34. | :01:45. | |
Christmas we seem to -- seemed to be in a fine of the ball. Yes, and his | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
last statement was fairly generous. Now it has become quite awkward. ?18 | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
billion, which sounds like quite a lot of money. As you say it has | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
opened up this black hole since then and what it means is that | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
essentially we will have to be back to austerity. Do we know why there | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
is this huge Blackall? The Blackall was there before Christmas. -- black | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
hole. It's just they didn't know it was there and he tells the | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
Chancellor how big the economy isn't all of this. Is it a he or she? It's | :02:30. | :02:41. | |
a heady. -- a he. And he has said the economy is 1% smaller than he | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
previously said, leaving the Chancellor with a bit of a problem. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
It signalled the end to the worst of austerity. He won't be going back on | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
it immediately because there is an EU referendum insight and he is told | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
to not rock the boat. Happy days are still here for a little bit longer. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
So do we just sit there with this debt? Waiting for it to happen, yes. | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
The interesting thing is that George Osborne has been in charge of the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
economy for six years and it isn't actually fixed. He has had quite a | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
long run of this. It doesn't make him look very good. You just wonder | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
if the wind will start blowing the other way. Jeremy Auburn will -- | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
Jeremy Corbyn will suddenly start looking good! In your opinion! He is | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
now talking about fiscal credibility. But George Osborne is | :03:43. | :03:54. | |
getting a kicking. Well, let's see whether The Daily Telegraph has a | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
different opinion. There are some winners and losers. Yes. The | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Telegraph is broadly in favour of cutting welfare and tax breaks. It | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
doesn't sound like it. The devil is in the detail. The welfare cuts will | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
fall for disabled people. 600,000 disabled people will lose a portion | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
of their benefits, to save ?1.2 billion. This will increase the | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
threshold, which is something the Tories said they would do in their | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
manifesto. So it isn't going to kick in straight away. People will have | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
to wait for the change to their tax status. That's right. Really what | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
this is suggesting is that this is a trade-off. That he is handing the | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
middle classes or the lower middle classes a sweetener and that a lot | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
of disabled people will suffer as a consequence. So, again, a bad | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
headline for George. And something Labour can work with. You might | :05:07. | :05:17. | |
still not want to benefit on the backs of disabled people having | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
their benefits cut. It is quite a nice story in a way. The straight | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
story, in that your view on it depends on the views you bring to | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
it. The Telegraph pushing a particular point. The Guardian. A | :05:32. | :05:44. | |
permanent divide. Social mobility tsar warns of an existential crisis. | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
He has been looking at this for a while. Who are the real losers? The | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Guardian has been following this story all week. In fact, they had a | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
massive splash at the beginning of the week. This so-called lost | :06:02. | :06:12. | |
generation. They are really, from this point of view, being shafted by | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
society in that they will... They will never probably be able to | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
afford to buy a home and employment is going to continue to be difficult | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
for them. Pensions when they are older. Any remedy suggested? Yes, go | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
and vote. This crazy idea, go out and vote. The reason the Chancellor | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
protects pensioners from austerity is because they vote for it. If you | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
don't like what's happening with young people, get out and vote and | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
then they will start paying attention to you, rather than being | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
millennial is. They aren't whining about being millennial is, this is | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
not something conjured up out of thin air. Absolutely not. They | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
should go and vote and they haven't been and we are just saying of the | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
EU referendum vote coming up, which will affect the prospects of a lot | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
of young people, most of them will be at Glastonbury and they won't be | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
voting. James is so miles how he says it but he is actually very | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
rude! I am not going to put it like that. They should go and vote! But | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
you could be a little gentler. The Daily Mail, migrant numbers. Tell us | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
the true numbers of EU numbers. Suggestions of the figures being | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
covered up. It isn't an especially new story. It is slightly | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
complicated. In terms of the figures, there a difference the | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
figures of the number of migrants and the numbers of national | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
insurance numbers given. That's because the office of national | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
statistics records the number of people staying for a year. Anyone | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
who turns up gets a national insurance number. So you're two | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
different things. I've got a Social Security number for America but I | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
don't live there. Yes, but the government has it within its power | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
to give out the figure for the number of active numbers. What is | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
the suggestion as to why they aren't giving it out? The suggestion is | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
that... Where is it... They haven't got time or it is too expensive to | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
do. Yes, it is such a big decision. What's the problem? People who have | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
and -- NI numbers, they weren't working on the black economy and are | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
properly -- probably only here for a short amount of time and they are | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
paying taxes, contributing. But they might be getting in work benefits. | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
There are couple of stories. The Daily Mail says the issues are | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
different, but the government can clear this up and I've not. That's | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
important. But the story about migrants claiming enormous amounts | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
of benefits has already been disproved. They are not. They are | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
contributing more in taxes than they are taking benefits. It's something | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
David Cameron wanted to bring back from the negotiations. Living on the | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Daily Mirror. There's no actual substance to this story. Are ripped | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
stars driving meant to eating disorders? The suggestion that this | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
very muscular men are having a negative impact on the younger men, | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
boys, teenagers, who feel they also need to look like this. Well, I have | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
no idea whether this is true or not and whether the ripped stars are | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
having this effect, but it seems an arguable that more men are suffering | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
from eating disorders, whichever report you look at. And men are more | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
concerned, especially young men, maybe older men as well, are more | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
concerned with their looks, their physique. Whether it is these two | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
particular men, I don't know. That's just a handy picture. Even that, it | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
is almost a sign of the way things are going. The number of pictures | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
with pretty ladies on the front, and they put the ripped men on the | :10:51. | :11:01. | |
front... It is on the quality of us thought that we aren't necessarily | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
after. Exactly what feminists and suchlike didn't want or don't want, | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
which is to drag everybody down to the same level. It is about raising | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
everybody up. The Telegraph. Driverless cars heading to a road | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
near you soon. Not just cars, great big vehicles that travel in a long | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
line. Yes, they are all in line together but through the miracle of | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
technology they are observing proper, safe limits between them. | :11:33. | :11:42. | |
But how fast can a travel? No idea. As fast as you want to make them go. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
They are talking about 50 mph, which keeps a short gap. There are drivers | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
present but they're not involved in driving until they leave the | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
motorway. Are you excited by this author of five? I am neither excited | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
or horrified. They are the only options I gave you! Please pick one. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
I think driverless cars are the future. I think they raise all kinds | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
of incredibly interesting questions, such as who is liable. Is it the | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
robot? Is a technology? Or is it the human controlling it? Just do it and | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
see what happens. Don't worry about things like that. George Osborne is | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
featured in this story again. He is promoting this. Is he going to make | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
money out of it? He wants Britain to be the world leader in this | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
technology. Finishing with the FT. Demand increases for disgraced | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
insurance service. This is prompted by the Maria Sharapova testing | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
positive for a banned drug. The sponsors are having second thoughts | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
about whether they want to be associated with her. | :13:05. | :13:16. | |
This is about celebrities doing anything that will damage their | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
brand. If you have a celebrity, in this case Maria Sharapova, although | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
some of her sponsors are staying with her, but if you have a | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
celebrity who is endorsing your brand and then goes off and does | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
something incredibly damaging to the brand, such as, I don't know, taking | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
cocaine in nightclubs or whatever, then you can be insured against that | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
disgrace. I have never heard about that before. That is why it is | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
interesting is because it is new. And it is social media as well. Not | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
just taking drugs, but sending a tweet that is deemed a bit racist, | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
all of a sudden you have a nightmare run your hands. It perhaps applies | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
more in the entertainment industry, the music industry, where the | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
stars... You kind of want... The brand is almost hired them for those | :14:18. | :14:27. | |
bad boy, bad girl ideas. That is the Papers for tonight. It is lovely to | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
see you both, honestly, it really is. Up next, Sportsday. | :14:33. | :14:38. |
