:00:13. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:16. > :00:19.With me are the political commentator Lance Price, and
:00:20. > :00:27.The Observer's main story is a poll it carried out on the EU
:00:28. > :00:29.referendum, which suggests the out camp is leading.
:00:30. > :00:32.The Sunday Express claims police have been given six more months to
:00:33. > :00:35.find out what happened to Madeleine McCann, who went missing
:00:36. > :00:37.from a holiday apartment in Portugal nine years ago.
:00:38. > :00:39.The Mail on Sunday alleges the Government
:00:40. > :00:43.overspent its foreign aid budget by some ?200 million last year.
:00:44. > :00:45.The Sunday Times carries an investigation into doping in sport,
:00:46. > :00:48.and claims one doctor has prescribed banned performance enhancing drugs
:00:49. > :00:55.British aid to Tanzania is the headline on the
:00:56. > :00:57.Sunday Telegraph, which suggests the Foreign Office should suspend
:00:58. > :01:01.aid to the country following disputed elections in Zanzibar.
:01:02. > :01:04.And the Simpsons characters Smithers and Mr Burns are pictured on
:01:05. > :01:08.Smithers is due to declare his love for his boss, Mr Burns,
:01:09. > :01:23.Should have given you a spoiler alert. Let's begin with this doping
:01:24. > :01:31.story. British doctor claims he joked 150 sports stars. -- doped. It
:01:32. > :01:35.is treating its own story with caution, and we have not
:01:36. > :01:39.substantiated this other. They are treating it with caution, and they
:01:40. > :01:43.say there is no independent evidence that this doctor actually did treat
:01:44. > :01:49.any of the players he claims he treated. Having said that, they
:01:50. > :01:54.dedicated a great deal of space to the story in the paper, suggesting
:01:55. > :01:59.they have confidence in it, and the Sunday Times have a good track
:02:00. > :02:05.record on these sorts of stories. They have exposed scandals in the
:02:06. > :02:10.past. It is a difficult one to read, because the number of people that he
:02:11. > :02:23.is supposed to have treated is huge, and sports included Premier League
:02:24. > :02:26.footballers, and even Strictly Come Dancing, but it is all based on
:02:27. > :02:33.interviews with him. It was undercover recording, and it appears
:02:34. > :02:38.an athlete went to see him. An athlete who had a heating camera at
:02:39. > :02:44.the behest of the good team at the Sunday Times -- heating camera. The
:02:45. > :02:49.doctor was prepared to provide this athlete with testosterone, even
:02:50. > :02:52.though he did not need it for medical reasons, and therefore it
:02:53. > :02:59.does seem to clear that this doctor was prepared to break the code, at
:03:00. > :03:02.least according to the story. The context is that this is the kind of
:03:03. > :03:08.person who would give people who are not unhealthy drugs that enhance
:03:09. > :03:13.performance. But there is no independent corroboration that he
:03:14. > :03:19.did give specific athletes, who we are told are high-profile, so I
:03:20. > :03:24.would not be surprised if the Sunday Times comes back to this, and it may
:03:25. > :03:28.be that the story insides some people to come forward and say we
:03:29. > :03:33.know about this chap. The Doctor himself has denied all of the
:03:34. > :03:37.allegations, and we have had a statement from the UK anti- doping
:03:38. > :03:41.chief executive, is very long statement, so we will only read a
:03:42. > :03:44.little bit where they say they are concerned and shocked by the
:03:45. > :03:48.allegations made in the Sunday Times and that the media have shown how
:03:49. > :03:52.valuable they are in protecting clean sport and in the fight against
:03:53. > :03:56.doping. It says much further in the statement that under current
:03:57. > :04:00.legislation, they only have the power to investigate athletes and
:04:01. > :04:06.entourage including medics who are themselves governed by a sport, and
:04:07. > :04:13.they will be humanly pursue any incident of doping or support
:04:14. > :04:18.personnel assisting them. If it is true and he is denying it, this
:04:19. > :04:21.doctor, but he was prescribing drugs with serious side effects, even
:04:22. > :04:25.though there was no medical condition that would justify such a
:04:26. > :04:31.prescription, that would be a breach of the GMC code. You would think the
:04:32. > :04:35.anti- doping organisation would have referred him to the GMC, and that
:04:36. > :04:38.did not happen. That is the allegation outstanding against the
:04:39. > :04:42.anti- doping organisation. If you add this to all of the other stories
:04:43. > :04:47.we have heard, it is got to the point where a lot of people must be
:04:48. > :05:01.thinking they are all at it, and it is unfair to those athletes who are
:05:02. > :05:07.clean. The Olympic Games, I went to watch a lot of the athletics when I
:05:08. > :05:12.played table tennis, and the suspicion that whoever came the line
:05:13. > :05:16.first, you would wonder what they are on. When it gets to that level
:05:17. > :05:20.of cynicism, clean sport does begin to look threatened. Let's move on to
:05:21. > :05:26.the Observer and look at the Brexit story. The young hold the key to
:05:27. > :05:41.Brexit as leave takes lead, and this is an online poll. The name of the
:05:42. > :05:44.polling organisation, Opinium, said the younger demographic, more
:05:45. > :05:50.outward looking and feeling more European, however, were they go out
:05:51. > :05:55.and vote on the big day? Older people tend to turn up and younger
:05:56. > :05:59.people proportionately don't do so in such large numbers, and therefore
:06:00. > :06:05.this could be bad news for the remaining camp. It is not that far
:06:06. > :06:11.away, but things can change so close to a poll, can't they? It is a long
:06:12. > :06:14.way. We have several weeks of campaigning and we have not gotten
:06:15. > :06:21.into the short campaigning politics, where it really gets... The two
:06:22. > :06:26.sides lock horns and the media will be full of it. A lot of people still
:06:27. > :06:31.have not made their minds, and one of the interesting parts of the poll
:06:32. > :06:35.is that when some of those don't knows are pressed, they tend to move
:06:36. > :06:39.towards staying in the European Union rather than leaving. That
:06:40. > :06:43.gives some hope to the remaining campaign, but overall, it is a
:06:44. > :06:46.warning to the remain campaign that they can't afford to be complacent.
:06:47. > :06:53.They have to get their vote out and that may be difficult. German firm
:06:54. > :06:59.offers still plant hope, this is after the uncertainty over Port
:07:00. > :07:05.Talbot. It does seem that has been a potential buyer, the German
:07:06. > :07:11.industrial conglomerate, who have been looking at the British steel
:07:12. > :07:14.industry, and possibly investing in it and taking over Port Talbot and
:07:15. > :07:17.the other plants. But clearly the big issue is how much money the
:07:18. > :07:23.British government are willing to put behind it. You have nothing to
:07:24. > :07:28.say? Sorry! I wasn't sure. You nodded at me. I wasn't sure if you
:07:29. > :07:38.wanted me to say something. Let's move on. A couple of foreign aid
:07:39. > :07:43.stories. 170 new million -- 172 main pounds is what we overspent by
:07:44. > :07:51.mistake. It is a minimum amount. -- million. It was a commitment to
:07:52. > :07:56.spend 0.7% of GDP on foreign aid, and I emigrate believer of paying
:07:57. > :08:04.money to people who need it, and I have some misgivings about that
:08:05. > :08:09.being ring-fenced. -- and I am a believer. More of that budget needs
:08:10. > :08:13.to be spent on evaluation. Can we be sure the money we are spending is
:08:14. > :08:18.making a difference in terms of nutrition, disease, education
:08:19. > :08:22.outcomes? I have done some work on this and I don't think it is as good
:08:23. > :08:26.as it could be in terms of its rigour. How well monitored are these
:08:27. > :08:30.schemes? They are well monitored. Charities have gone through the
:08:31. > :08:34.hoops to get some of this foreign aid, and it is difficult. The
:08:35. > :08:38.question always comes back to outcomes. How can you showed that
:08:39. > :08:41.the money, if we give it to you, will be properly invested and
:08:42. > :08:46.produced the outcomes you say you will? They will be times when that
:08:47. > :08:50.fails, and the outcomes are not the ones expected at the beginning, and
:08:51. > :08:53.of course there will be times when money is creamed off and there is
:08:54. > :08:59.corruption and all the rest of it. But if you look at that and the size
:09:00. > :09:02.of the phone aid budget, although it's .7% is the United Nations
:09:03. > :09:09.target, not just rent up at the British government, it sounds
:09:10. > :09:16.substantial -- 0.7%. If you look at the waist in defence procurement and
:09:17. > :09:20.that sort of thing, of course some money will be misspent and some will
:09:21. > :09:26.go astray. But we should be proud of the fact we invest as much as we are
:09:27. > :09:30.in the poorest of the world. In the Observer, the Prime Minister under
:09:31. > :09:35.fire for how little is being spent in Libya. You can't win. This is a
:09:36. > :09:40.criticism that there are people in desperate need any amount of money
:09:41. > :09:46.going there is paltry, to quote. There was an educational project
:09:47. > :09:51.built brilliant on the surface, English textbooks, maths and all
:09:52. > :09:55.sorts of things in Rick Kenya. Some children were interviewed and said
:09:56. > :09:59.we are benefiting from this -- remote Kenya. But when they did a
:10:00. > :10:03.trial, it turned out when you compare the People get in the books
:10:04. > :10:06.with another community not getting them, it made no difference at all
:10:07. > :10:11.it was very few of the children spoke English. You have to have
:10:12. > :10:17.rigourous evaluation to find out if something is making a difference.
:10:18. > :10:26.Anger of middle-class savers is Bill the devious inheritance tax tops ?4
:10:27. > :10:34.billion. -- as Bill for devious inheritance tax. It will bring a lot
:10:35. > :10:40.of money for the Treasury. If you are a couple that can leave more to
:10:41. > :10:43.your kids than before, this can refer to the situation before those
:10:44. > :10:48.new allowances coming. But the number of family estates on which
:10:49. > :10:52.the tax was paid is 40,000, which I thought was a small figure. Normally
:10:53. > :10:57.we talk about property prices or money in property, and property
:10:58. > :11:01.prices in London and the south-east are very high. I'm surprised it is
:11:02. > :11:07.as low as 40,000. I think inheritance tax is a real bugbear
:11:08. > :11:13.for people. They have a ready pay tax, capital gains tax, National
:11:14. > :11:20.Insurance. And VAT. And they think why do we have to pay to gain? And
:11:21. > :11:25.petrol duty. But the person who inherits is not the one who paid the
:11:26. > :11:28.tax. And finally, dear residents, stop stressing my council tax by
:11:29. > :11:40.complaining. Sorry! We have moved on! Should we not bother with this?
:11:41. > :11:48.This is the council in Dorset who had their parents out, their quills.
:11:49. > :11:51.-- pens. I'm glad to hear people are writing letters to their local
:11:52. > :11:56.council to protest, and the local council said they can't cope whose
:11:57. > :12:02.it is causing stress to their staff. I have to give a shout out to my
:12:03. > :12:06.friend Richard. We sat by a pool in Spain and he said he was writing a
:12:07. > :12:13.letter to the council because he is angry about a sign they had put up.
:12:14. > :12:20.That is their specific duty. Do you think? That is it. We have no time
:12:21. > :12:26.for more, thankfully. I'm very grateful for your expensive
:12:27. > :12:31.comments, and your jacket. The camera was struggling with
:12:32. > :12:35.Matthew's show. Thank you very much. -- shirt.
:12:36. > :12:37.Coming up next, it's The Film Review.
