Dublin, to mark the centenary of the Easter rising against British rule. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
Hello and welcome to our look at what the morning papers will be | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
With me are Martin Bentham, the Home Affairs Editor | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
for the Evening Standard, and the broadcaster Shyama Perera. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Let's start with tomorrow's front pages. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
The Financial Times writes that business leaders are warning | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
their investors that the trend in global tax crackdowns will hurt | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
The i headlines that teachers are demanding an end to school tests for | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
primary school students saying the system has an exam factory culture. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
The Daily Express warns of travel chaos on Bank Holiday | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
Monday saying Storm Katie has the potential for a month's worth of | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
The Daily Telegraph headlines the rift in the Tory party | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
deepening after accusations David Cameron is ignoring ministers | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
The Guardian leads with a call from the Shadow Chancellor to scrap | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
a ?3000 tax cut for the rich, which he says shows we're not all | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
The Mirror covers the death of a 7-year-old girl who died | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
after the bouncy castle she was playing on blew away in Essex. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The Daily Mail also has the same story and reports | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
on growing demands for a ban on the inflatables at public events. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
And the Times carries a warning from Presidential hopeful | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Donald Trump that Britain is no longer safe for Americans to travel | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
We will begin with Donald Trump's warning to Americans, that Britain | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
is no longer safe. The presidential contender raising the alarm after | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
the attacks in Belgium last week. A lot of Americans will think that | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
anyway, won't pay? Yes, and although he has made some outlandish comments | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
before, in this case he is very much in the mainstream of American | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
opinion. He is saying that there is a danger in Europe, and therefore it | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
is not safe. I'm not sure that he is saying people shouldn't go there, | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
that Americans couldn't visit, and nor would that be the case. What he | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
is saying here is in line with US travel advice, which is to say there | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
is a danger and a threat across Europe, and there might be a tax on | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
restaurants, sport events, or religious festivals. People should | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
be aware that there may be potential attacks, but don't think it should | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
stop people going about their business, coming to visit, going on | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
holiday in different places. Let's hope it doesn't create paranoia in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
America. This is a man who wants to build a wall between the US and | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Mexico, and the Mexicans pay for it, why do we give to monkeys about his | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
opinion? It is ridiculous. If Americans are listening to this and | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
really think Britain is not safe, they ought to look at how many | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
people are killed in gun attacks in their own country each year. That | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
far outnumbers the number of people killed in terrorist attacks across | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
the whole of the European mainland. We should not be going to the US, if | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
this is a measure of what is safe and what is not. Let's move on to | :03:34. | :03:45. | |
the other story. Millions hit by George Osborne's stealth raid on | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
wages. This is to do with an increase in national insurance | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
payments. Apparently he brought it in three years ago, 40 quid a month | :03:54. | :04:06. | |
for someone who is earning ?40,000. This is our state pensions which | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
they keep telling us not worth anything, so we ought to be taking | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
out other pensions, and our children should learn that they are not going | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
to get anything. Nonetheless, they are still taking money from us for | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
pensions, and this is an extra ?40. Martin, you can probably put it into | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
a better context. It is basically getting rid of the second pension, | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
and people will have to potentially pay higher national insurance. It | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
will particularly affect people in the private sector, which I thought | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
had mainly disappeared anyway. In essence it is saying it could cause | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
some employers to close their pension schemes, and at the same | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
time if the government wants the people to provide for themselves and | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
their role age, hitting pensions is not necessarily a good way of doing | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
that, because people end up with less money. Except it brings in a | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
lot for the Treasury. A quick look at the i, teachers demand no more | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
tests. We had this coming from the NU T conference in Brighton. It | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
seemed to go back and forth with school tests. I think the union has | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
pretty much always disagreed, but I think they have a point. I think | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
there are two macro issues. One is the content of the test, which they | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
are saying are confusing and not properly thought through. And the | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
other tests are too difficult. The other issue is the number of tests. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
I think all the way through, there is an enormous amount. I don't know | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
which is the better method, but what we need to do is find out why so | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
many 11 -year-olds going to secondary school have insufficient | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
literacy to make the step up to secondary school work, and why they | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
will often leave school without education and training. Surely a | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
test would tell a school if a child is struggling. Well, they apparently | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
do now, but it doesn't improve on the number of 17 -year-olds who are | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
semiliterate. Palmyra has fallen out of the hands of the so-called | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Islamic State again. It was fantastic to watch the footage of | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
this on the news. Obviously, we can't see inside Independent, which | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
I thought were finished, so I'm surprised to see the front page. We | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
are pleased, thank you for sending its. Obviously it is fantastic, I am | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
one of those people who tries to leap ahead in their brain and | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
thinks, this is a great coup for the Russians, and does that mean it is a | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
great coup for us ultimately in strategic and political terms? They | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
have got it back from ISIS, but what does it mean in terms of the future | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
of Syria. Surely it mean that President Assad will have a future. | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
I think that is the case. What is tremendous news really is not just | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
the liberation of the architectural site, but also the fact that it is a | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
significant blow for the Islamic State. Hopefully, all the problems | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
we have seen in Europe and Brussels last week, and they see Islamic | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
State is defeated in Iraq and Syria, it will just get worse and worse | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
rather than better, which is obviously what we hope will happen. | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
The FT, and the Pope's message. Defending migrants as the flow | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
slows. Is this part of his Easter message, expressing dismay at the | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
way migrants are treated. What was interesting is this figure, saying | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
that daily arrivals from Turkey to Greece are down from 930 278 since | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
the EU deal was agreed that people would be sent back from Greece to | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Turkey. Then there would be an admission of people from Turkey on a | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
1-to-1 basis. If that figure becomes a reality over or retract the | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
period, it would be a very positive thing, because you don't want people | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
coming over and risking their lives and having that is their only route | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
seeking refuge from Syria. When it was first introduced, it made no | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
difference. Hundreds of people took that perilous journey across the | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
sea. I think once they are on their way, even psychologically, it is a | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
journey that has to be completed, or they lose their lives. It is one | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
that message gets back, when people start to understand there is a | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
different mindset, and that takes time. There are all sorts of | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
potential problems, they might find other ways of trying to do it. The | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
people who are there can be on the top of the queue to come over. And | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
other story on the FT, Japan's hard up pensioners turn to crime for free | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
board and lodging behind bars. I think pensioners in Japan are | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
suffering the same gradations as our pensioners claim. They are behaving | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
badly in order to be put behind bars, because thankfully in Japan | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
there is only 70% occupancy of their prison cells. If you get a cell in | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
Japan, you have your own pretty and your own TV, and you don't have too | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
worry about being put in a cell was somebody who is not suited for it. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
On that basis, for pensioners, there is quite a good deal to be had in | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
the prisons. But it is more than just a disrespect for the law, isn't | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
it? It does suggest... It has been calculator that a lot of people are | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
committing crimes, and the suggestion is they are doing it | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
deliberately. The other side of it potentially is the suggestion that a | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
lot of elderly people live alone, they don't get any support, and | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
therefore they can't sustain themselves, particularly those who | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
commit crime, come out of prison, had no family, and much like younger | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
people do in that situation, if there is no support around and they | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
fall back into it and commit crime again. It is like warden controlled | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
residential. On that basis... We make people pay for that over here. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Let's move on to a story we are a bit clueless about. The Daily Mail, | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
how to diet in your sleep. I was just having a little look on the | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
internet, and the Daily Mail ran a story about this three years ago. | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
Slim while you sleep, it is coming to do with eating smoothies. We hope | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
this is true, don't we? How might it work, let's speculate. You stay up | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
late scoffing chocolate biscuits, so... Apparently when you sleep it | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
does something to your metabolism. There was a doctor who used to say | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
to it in a 10-hour window. If you had your first meal at 9am, you | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
finished at seven p.m.. He said he could eat whatever you wanted in | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
your 10-hour window. Ultimately, it is eating less and moving more. We | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
talked about this on Friday night, I think. I have been told I was very | :12:58. | :13:20. | |
rude to shush you. John Kerry has said he is concerned about Americans | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
travelling to Europe as well. That is the paper for tonight. Lovely to | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
see you both, thank you for giving up your Sunday evening, your Easter | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
no less. Up next, The Film Review. | :13:37. | :13:38. |
