:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look at the papers.

:00:18. > :00:19.With me are the columnist and journalist, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

:00:20. > :00:20.and the political commentator, Vincent Moss.

:00:21. > :00:30.Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in...

:00:31. > :00:33.Let's have a quick look at some of the front pages now.

:00:34. > :00:36.The Sunday Times leads on a call from the former

:00:37. > :00:39.Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair to crush ISIS or be faced with

:00:40. > :00:44.a terrorist act in Britain worse than Paris or Brussels.

:00:45. > :00:47.He calls on the West to equip Arab ground forces.

:00:48. > :00:49.The Mail on Sunday says convicted terrorists are being paid

:00:50. > :00:54.It criticises the government's commitment to spending 0.7%

:00:55. > :00:59.The Telegraph quotes one of America's top generals,

:01:00. > :01:03.David Petraeus, as saying he thinks a Brexit would weaken the West

:01:04. > :01:08.The Sunday Express says that after the terror attacks in Europe

:01:09. > :01:20.It reports that SAS squads are ready to fly in and protect any town

:01:21. > :01:22.The Star on Sunday leads with "Got Him".

:01:23. > :01:25.It says Belgian police have arrested the third Brussels airport bomber,

:01:26. > :01:28.whom it names as Faycal Cheffou, and charged him with murder.

:01:29. > :01:30.The Observer leads with a warning from the

:01:31. > :01:47.He says if Britain votes to leave the European Union then the NHS

:01:48. > :01:50.would face budget cuts, falling standards and an exodus

:01:51. > :01:53.And England's winning footballers, celebrating their 3-2 win tonight

:01:54. > :01:57.over Germany are the cover stars of the online Independent on Sunday.

:01:58. > :02:05.We're going to start with the Observer and a very different look

:02:06. > :02:11.at the Brexit argument. This time with a warning from Jeremy Hunt. Yet

:02:12. > :02:16.he is linking it to the economy, which many people have done. Those

:02:17. > :02:27.who want to remain in the EU keep pointing out that the British

:02:28. > :02:33.economy is deeply tied to the new project and it would go through a

:02:34. > :02:41.terrible crisis if we left because all the deals and the treaties would

:02:42. > :02:49.take years to renegotiate. He has linked that economic uncertainty and

:02:50. > :02:51.pessimism with what's then was the National Health Service. And you are

:02:52. > :02:56.getting the feeling that there is a table of announcements and this week

:02:57. > :03:01.it was Jeremy Hunt's time. I think so. Every department will be putting

:03:02. > :03:07.out their warnings and I think it is Easter weekend, and this time is

:03:08. > :03:12.Jeremy Hunt's turned. What other things he is pointed out apart from

:03:13. > :03:19.the economic issue is a thing about my Visa, what if you're working for

:03:20. > :03:25.the NHS. I think there is 100,000 skilled workers. Mortaza means that

:03:26. > :03:28.they're working and living Visa. It is creating uncertainty about who we

:03:29. > :03:33.really want to leave and hoping that is what people think. Because that

:03:34. > :03:37.might affect your job. If you're one of the 100,000 people, you may be

:03:38. > :03:42.influenced his argument. And is all about the undecided one here. Yes,

:03:43. > :03:51.but they are not being well served at the moment and they need much

:03:52. > :03:58.clearer explanations from all sides. Staying with the Brexit, but moving

:03:59. > :04:02.on to the Telegraph, and this is saying that the US General is saying

:04:03. > :04:11.that a Brexit will raise the terrorist threat. How does that

:04:12. > :04:13.work, Vincent? He is raising this Winston Churchill tone that if you

:04:14. > :04:19.don't like your allies, you should stick together because that is the

:04:20. > :04:23.only way you can get things done. You need to work together and he

:04:24. > :04:26.says that there is the one thing worse than fighting with allies, and

:04:27. > :04:31.that is fighting without them. You can be a strategic dead-end and it

:04:32. > :04:36.will be calamitous for the entire world. That is counter to what to

:04:37. > :04:41.the former MI6 was saying that Brexit could be a good thing and

:04:42. > :04:46.this is very much an ardent the most senior Americans seem to be saying

:04:47. > :04:53.that they probably like the idea of the EU and they would rather that

:04:54. > :04:57.Britain did not leave. The Churchill thing is three important because

:04:58. > :05:03.people think that Churchill was this narrowminded nationalist who

:05:04. > :05:08.single-handedly with Britain and America fought the war. Actually he

:05:09. > :05:14.was for the Human Rights Act, he was for broader alliances with European

:05:15. > :05:23.nations and he was not an isolationist. People don't know that

:05:24. > :05:28.enough about Winston Churchill. With that story due by the argument that

:05:29. > :05:31.it written leaves Europe then there won't be the level of cooperation

:05:32. > :05:47.between anti- terror organisations that they currently use? -- then

:05:48. > :05:52.there currently is? It is clearly been a problem with the lack of

:05:53. > :05:56.sharing. But there is no doubt that they do a good sharing relations

:05:57. > :06:00.with the Americans, some would say too much, but we need to say it is a

:06:01. > :06:07.rather fluid terrorist organisation and you can only do that through

:06:08. > :06:13.international corporation. -- cooperation. It would be a potential

:06:14. > :06:20.breakup and that jeopardises that level of cooperation. Staying with

:06:21. > :06:23.Brexit, but we moved to the Sunday Times, and looks back to the list of

:06:24. > :06:31.250 is as leaders who are backing the campaign on Saturday to leave

:06:32. > :06:35.the European Union. There are claims in the Times that that is beginning

:06:36. > :06:40.to unravel. This is interesting because many of the papers on the

:06:41. > :06:48.right to give me the sense that they are for Brexit are to running

:06:49. > :06:56.stories which they might not have expected. So this list that was put

:06:57. > :07:05.up, business leaders who think that Britain will be better with leaving

:07:06. > :07:09.the European Union. Some are saying that I didn't know my name would be

:07:10. > :07:13.on the list, they did not check with me. And is always very dangerous to

:07:14. > :07:18.put up lists of whichever side because there is always going to be

:07:19. > :07:23.some annoying person who does not want to be part of a campaign

:07:24. > :07:27.group. By staying in has had a problem in the past and has

:07:28. > :07:35.mentioned that people have said that I did not lend by name to that

:07:36. > :07:40.campaign. I'm not sure how much it influences people to vote. I don't

:07:41. > :07:45.know of another field if people said they were in or out of wood

:07:46. > :07:51.influence the vote. If Wayne Rooney says he is in and out that influence

:07:52. > :07:57.football fans? Would that influence people? I don't know. If you work

:07:58. > :08:03.for a company where the bosses I think this, would that affect? I

:08:04. > :08:04.wonder. But is a very interesting point and that is how much it be

:08:05. > :08:11.influenced by your boss to. point and that is how much it be

:08:12. > :08:20.influenced by your boss -- boss. There is an important thing when

:08:21. > :08:25.there are global businesses, what they want is a movement. There won't

:08:26. > :08:36.be able to get the talent from where ever they can and that is a big fear

:08:37. > :08:43.within the businesses that the anti immigration fever is going to affect

:08:44. > :08:50.their growth and their ability to move their people around. And that

:08:51. > :08:54.is a real threat. I don't think that is something that is a match in. I

:08:55. > :09:00.do believe that papers will have far less invalid to Mr Bateman they do.

:09:01. > :09:02.As we expect them to come out on a pro- Brexit argument, I don't think

:09:03. > :09:06.that will have the influence that they had ten or 15 years ago.

:09:07. > :09:10.Because they can get their media from semi- other sources so will

:09:11. > :09:15.play far less important than many proprietors think it will do.

:09:16. > :09:20.Interestingly, one of the two, and the paper highlights two of the 253

:09:21. > :09:26.they should not be on the list. One is the code billionaire founder who

:09:27. > :09:34.said he was surprised to be on the list but he had previously supported

:09:35. > :09:38.Brexit. So I wonder what is going on with that? People don't like their

:09:39. > :09:42.names being used without their permission. And to consider someone

:09:43. > :09:45.has gone and done that with people who were previously expressed an

:09:46. > :09:52.opinion, he would not have changed his mind, and people like to move

:09:53. > :09:56.around as we know. Onto The Mall, and let us change the story

:09:57. > :10:05.completely because the male has an exclusive saying Petronella is

:10:06. > :10:14.breaking her silence on the relationship with Boris Johnson. I

:10:15. > :10:21.don't think there are a lot of surprises. I think this will just

:10:22. > :10:25.sell more papers, frankly. It is a titillating an interesting story and

:10:26. > :10:30.maybe people are fed up with the terrorism, the fear that has

:10:31. > :10:40.obviously been going on for a few days. And getting a politicians

:10:41. > :10:43.private life is always fun. But the angling and the timing of this

:10:44. > :10:49.against Boris Johnson is quite interesting. Quite right. George

:10:50. > :10:53.Osborne had a very bad week with his white Djite and he seems like the

:10:54. > :10:58.only people who could become the Tory leader if it was not to be

:10:59. > :11:03.George Osborne so he's getting a bit of scrutiny and a very interesting

:11:04. > :11:12.piece in the Times who refer to him as dishonest and reckless. It is a

:11:13. > :11:15.much more typical Sunday morning tabloid read with Petronella talking

:11:16. > :11:23.about a man who needed to be love and who are decidedly Eastern views

:11:24. > :11:31.on monogamy. I do object to this. I think we have to move on. Tony

:11:32. > :11:36.Blair, of course former Prime Minister saying that we should crush

:11:37. > :11:42.Islamic State or the horror will intensify. Well he hasn't succeeded

:11:43. > :11:47.in crushing many of the previous terrorist networks. I think he has a

:11:48. > :11:53.very simple view of the world sometimes, Tony Blair. He is someone

:11:54. > :11:57.that I want to say in some ways that he did such good for the this

:11:58. > :12:02.country and I wish it wasn't so obsessed with his bad record in Iraq

:12:03. > :12:10.and wanting to go in. There is a madness that he wants to go in and

:12:11. > :12:17.create more walls. But we have seen what has happened, with Iraq and

:12:18. > :12:24.Libya, and the whole infection has spread. Mr Blair needs to sit down

:12:25. > :12:30.and think very carefully about why he is so obsessed with guns. We've

:12:31. > :12:35.not got very long left but he talks about Arab ground forces, but I

:12:36. > :12:40.can't see what they are. I don't think there is much meat behind the

:12:41. > :12:48.headline but he talks about you can't contain ISIS and we know that

:12:49. > :12:50.already. There needs to be some cooperation with the nations in the

:12:51. > :12:59.region to do something about it. But there is no detail about how he sees

:13:00. > :13:15.that being done. There's not much light in what needs to be done. Is a

:13:16. > :13:24.it is a -- it is a guerrilla movement. One should never listen to

:13:25. > :13:28.Tony Blair on this. Ever. We should leave it because we're just run out

:13:29. > :13:34.of time on that point. Thank you very much for joining us today for

:13:35. > :13:41.the review of the papers. Coming, it is the film review.
