:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:21.With me are the political commentator Ayesha Hazarika
:00:22. > :00:27.and Neil Midgley, the media commentator from the Telegraph.
:00:28. > :00:34.Welcome to you. We can take you through the front pages as we have
:00:35. > :00:35.them at the moment. The I, which has the headline
:00:36. > :00:38."Deal or no Steel" - a reference to calls
:00:39. > :00:40.for the government to step in to prevent the closure
:00:41. > :00:42.of the Tata Steel plant Fears over the future of the British
:00:43. > :00:49.steel industry are also the main The Financial Times has a picture
:00:50. > :00:55.of the former political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar's
:00:56. > :00:58.presidential palace, smiling as the country's first
:00:59. > :01:01.civilian president in more than 50 The Guardian says David Cameron has
:01:02. > :01:10.flown back from his holiday for emergency talks
:01:11. > :01:14.on the steel crisis. "Betrayed" is the Mirror's headline
:01:15. > :01:17.- a reference to the steel workers The New Day references the sale
:01:18. > :01:24.of Tata's British assets The Express says scientists
:01:25. > :01:31.are to study the habits and diet of the residents of an Italian
:01:32. > :01:34.village where 300 residents have lived to at least one
:01:35. > :01:42.hundred years old. And the Telegraph carries claims
:01:43. > :01:49.that the BBC has been "sexing up" Shakespeare, in a new adaptation
:01:50. > :02:00.of Richard III, starring Benedict We will be talking about that in a
:02:01. > :02:08.minute. We can kick off. The Financial Times, the Tata Steel
:02:09. > :02:13.story, thousands of jobs at risk. The FT saying battle to save
:02:14. > :02:20.steel-making as Tata Steel says the business is worth nothing. They paid
:02:21. > :02:25.6.2 billion for the business and say it is now worth nothing. The
:02:26. > :02:30.statistics that stood out from the story, you think, why do they just
:02:31. > :02:35.give it away. Take on the business from scratch and see if they can
:02:36. > :02:40.turn a profit? It turns out the pension fund deficit is ?15 billion,
:02:41. > :02:47.one of the top 20 liabilities in the whole of the UK and so there is more
:02:48. > :02:51.at play than it being effectively a worthless business because of the
:02:52. > :02:55.cheap costs of Chinese steel imports. You wonder who would want
:02:56. > :03:02.to buy this business which they say loses ?1 billion a day. It is a huge
:03:03. > :03:05.problem because the market will not be mandated with offers but it is
:03:06. > :03:10.one of those things where everyone is looking to the government.
:03:11. > :03:18.Whether you call it nationalisation, a bailout, a lot of parties, the
:03:19. > :03:22.Labour Party, Plaid Cymru, everyone is hoping that the government will
:03:23. > :03:29.come together with a temporary renationalisation to buy the plant
:03:30. > :03:33.time to think what it will do. That could costs the taxpayer. It comes
:03:34. > :03:44.down to values and priorities. When these industrial sites go, the
:03:45. > :03:48.community goes and it is the devastating consequences for the
:03:49. > :03:54.community. It is the lack of planning by successive governments
:03:55. > :04:01.of all colours, which is at issue. I remember when the Consett steelworks
:04:02. > :04:06.closed in 1980. I remember Ravenscraig in Glasgow. The future
:04:07. > :04:12.of the British Steel industry has been... It is precarious. It has
:04:13. > :04:17.been going one way for 45 years in our lifetime. And yet, here we are
:04:18. > :04:21.again, on the verge of another crisis again with tens of thousands
:04:22. > :04:29.of people about to lose their jobs and no apparent plan. In your paper,
:04:30. > :04:35.the Telegraph, they say there is an EU row over the deal to save it.
:04:36. > :04:40.They say Tata Steel suggested EU rules restricting state aid are to
:04:41. > :04:47.blame for the decision to sell. In a single market, as happens in the EU,
:04:48. > :04:53.countries come together and there is supposed to be one market for their
:04:54. > :04:56.goods and services, there are sensible rules against individual
:04:57. > :05:00.governments subsidising their own companies otherwise the French could
:05:01. > :05:04.subsidise their banks and put British banks out of business if
:05:05. > :05:10.they chose to. The state aid rules are there for a good reason but
:05:11. > :05:15.here, it is simply not possible for the British Government legally to
:05:16. > :05:22.just bear out Tata Steel and save here is a few billion to tide you
:05:23. > :05:27.over. Brussels are apparently cross with the British Government for
:05:28. > :05:32.standing in the way of a plan to increase import tariffs across the
:05:33. > :05:36.EU on steel, which privately according to the Telegraph story
:05:37. > :05:42.Brussels sources say would have helped to save the steel industry.
:05:43. > :05:47.The Times newspaper, the migrant story perhaps has faded a little
:05:48. > :05:54.from our attention in the past few days but they have a shocking story
:05:55. > :05:58.about Turkish border forces shooting to kill refugees who are fleeing
:05:59. > :06:03.civil war in Syria. They say 60 migrants have been killed by guards,
:06:04. > :06:10.this is according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. A
:06:11. > :06:18.heartbreaking reminder of how desperate the situation is. They say
:06:19. > :06:26.16 mu. -- 16 migrants including children. And they say the number
:06:27. > :06:31.could be higher. It cast doubts on the EU migrant deal that was struck
:06:32. > :06:38.whether it is working. Can we class Turkey as a safe third country? What
:06:39. > :06:42.do you think? I think it looks difficult because if people,
:06:43. > :06:47.families and children are being shot, I would probably say no. No
:06:48. > :06:54.one is in favour of children getting shot. What the story does not say is
:06:55. > :06:58.why, why the Turkish government, if they have been shooting people dead,
:06:59. > :07:03.why they are doing it. Clearly there is a crackdown in Turkey to stop
:07:04. > :07:06.people coming across the border. Huge numbers of Syrians have come
:07:07. > :07:12.across the border in the past years and there is reference of the story
:07:13. > :07:15.to the border being called the jihadist highway because of the
:07:16. > :07:24.number of foreign fighters using it as a gateway. Clearly that is not
:07:25. > :07:28.children. People in Syria are so desperate. I do not think it will
:07:29. > :07:33.put people off because the horrible stories of people drowning has not
:07:34. > :07:39.put people off. We can move on to the Daily Mail with the report they
:07:40. > :07:44.say from the Royal College of Physicians, which highlights how
:07:45. > :07:49.dying patients are routinely left dehydrated and in pain in their
:07:50. > :07:55.final hours. This is a worrying finding and we have to see the full
:07:56. > :07:58.report and get the full factss but it is deeply worrying with echoes of
:07:59. > :08:06.the scandals we saw years ago, I cannot remember the hospital. Mid
:08:07. > :08:12.Staffordshire Hospital, which was devastating. The NHS needs to look
:08:13. > :08:16.into this. Again, it is more stories about the pressure that the NHS is
:08:17. > :08:25.under and you feel the NHS is at breaking point. Regardless of
:08:26. > :08:30.whether you like all owes Jeremy Hunt and there are plenty of people
:08:31. > :08:33.in the NHS who loathe the Health Secretary, something he said when
:08:34. > :08:40.the Mid Staffordshire hospital report came out, he said we have to
:08:41. > :08:44.put compassion in the NHS and this report emphasises that. It does not
:08:45. > :08:49.cost anything to give somebody a glass of water on their dying day.
:08:50. > :08:56.We need the true facts of where staff are in terms of who is to
:08:57. > :08:58.blame. I think you are right about compassion but having demoralised
:08:59. > :09:08.overworked staff does not help you with your compassion problem. Neil,
:09:09. > :09:19.a story right up your street. The BBC riding into a storm over sexing
:09:20. > :09:27.up Shakespeare. Those sex maniacs at the BBC in a new adaptation. It is
:09:28. > :09:34.the ongoing adaptation of the history plays. I have seen... I saw
:09:35. > :09:42.the first. There was a lot of homoeroticism in the first one. It
:09:43. > :09:48.was a Richard. The sexing up of the Bard is not new to this film but
:09:49. > :09:56.Benedict Cumberbatch apparently is going to be having all sorts and in
:09:57. > :10:01.particular in a scene not in the original play. Not in the original
:10:02. > :10:08.script! The BBC is accused of not only sexing up the Bard but
:10:09. > :10:11.inserting... I do not see the problem, millions of fans of
:10:12. > :10:21.Benedict Cumberbatch will say this is why I pay my licence fee. Are you
:10:22. > :10:26.a bit of a... ? Definitely. Big fan. Ready and in Sherlock Holmes and
:10:27. > :10:31.great Sunday night television. In fairness to the BBC, Sunday night
:10:32. > :10:37.dramas have been cracking. War and Peace, the BBC was accused of
:10:38. > :10:42.inserting incest that was not in the novel. How can you mess with Tolstoy
:10:43. > :10:51.in the name of titillation? You are looking forward to it? I certainly
:10:52. > :10:56.am. The Daily Express. It sounds like science fiction. The village of
:10:57. > :11:01.the 100-year-olds. Scientists studying diet to find the key to
:11:02. > :11:05.long life and this is a village in Italy. It looks like a
:11:06. > :11:10.science-fiction story when it is put next to a picture of Adele, who is
:11:11. > :11:18.taking a break. She is not accused of being 100! Apparently 300 people
:11:19. > :11:26.in a small Italian village... Beautifully pronounced. With a fair
:11:27. > :11:45.wind and bags of chav! Charm stop this could be useful
:11:46. > :11:51.because the elderly population, 300 of them have lived over the age of
:11:52. > :11:55.100. Scientists are now studying the lifestyles in the village and they
:11:56. > :12:02.are convinced it boils down to Mediterranean diet, daily exercise,
:12:03. > :12:06.and extensive use of the Herb rosemary. So if you have a bit of
:12:07. > :12:14.leg of lamb like I did with my dear mother. The British advice is
:12:15. > :12:22.boring. It is rosemary. They eat rosemary. And they probably have
:12:23. > :12:29.nice wine. Who wants to live to 100? I have just turned 40 and I find it
:12:30. > :12:35.a struggle! And you will be shunned on your dying day the NHS. I will
:12:36. > :12:41.probably need some water! Good to have you here. That is it tonight.
:12:42. > :12:47.Before you go, these front pages have come in while we have been on
:12:48. > :12:52.air. The Independent newspaper giving their front page over to
:12:53. > :12:58.England's world Twenty20 semifinal win against New Zealand. That is the
:12:59. > :13:06.main picture, anyway. And in the Sun newspaper, turning back digital
:13:07. > :13:11.clocks on cars, due to a loophole, and is not against the law when a
:13:12. > :13:16.car is resold. Those are the papers we have just got in and all our
:13:17. > :13:31.online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review of
:13:32. > :13:43.the papers. Many thanks. That is it, goodbye.
:13:44. > :13:51.We might be heading into April but given the right conditions you can
:13:52. > :13:52.get cold nights at this time of year and tonight is a case
