06/04/2016 The Papers

News, and looked at some of the stories making the front pages in

The Papers. From us on Sportsday, good night.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are Kate McCann, Senior Political Correspondent

at the Telegraph, and James Lyons, Deputy Political Editor

Tomorrow's front pages: Starting with:

The Guardian has further revelations from the Panama Papers -

focussing its attention particularly on senior members

The Times has the story we've been covering tonight -

how 27 million households are to receive a leaflet setting out

the government's arguments for staying in the EU.

And the Metro headlines the same story, saying ?9 million

And the Telegraph too leads with the EU leaflet,

adding that the move has sparked a cabinet row.

Donald Trump is on the front on the Independent -

who suffered a setback in the Wisconsin primary.

The Financial Times leads with the collapse

of the planned merger between two major drug companies.

New Day reports on a row over whether women should

serve in the front line of the armed forces.

Kate, take us to the Guardian. That is where they are focusing the

Panama Papers coverage tomorrow. I cannot think of an area yet where we

haven't had some of these revelations touched. We have had

football, celebrity and politics. China's censors have been blocking

CNN saying that some of their CNN saying that some of their

reporting has been blocked in China. It doesn't look like there is much

of an appetite to do anything about it. It highlights one of the issues

with this story. It's difficult to with this story. It's difficult to

do anything about these kinds of tax schemes on a global scale because a

lot of it depends on pressure on national governments to take some

action. That's what David Cameron is under pressure to do, but in China

it doesn't look like it's a similar situation. The scale of the Chinese

connection to Mossack Fonseca is sizeable. The Guardian reports there

are eight members of what they term the politburo's culpability, who

have family members caught up in this. You can see why, if you look

at what has happened in Iceland, why they would censor this. You could

imagine the kind of reaction this would get. Various members of the

so-called red nobility, and one of them was the granddaughter of one of

the Chinese leaders who had companies set up in her name in 2010

when she was studying at Stanford University. There's clearly

something peculiar going on. And all of this at a time when Xi Jinping is

trying to crack down on behaviour that could embarrass the Communist

Party. That could mean pretending it's not happening. It could mean

doing something about it, but I guess we will see what that does

mean in reality. It comes back to this idea of the reason why so many

people in so many different walks of life are allowed to get away with

it. It's the people at the very top who are the people who would be

cracking down on it. What's the incentive if you are making money

out of it? There are hints of more inside the Guardian. We only have

the front page. James, take us to the Times. This is the pro-EU postal

delivery we are all going to get, courtesy of the government. I am

sure we will all be waiting expectantly? 14 pages for people to

Peru is before they make their decision. This was mooted months ago

that the government were preparing this. At the time, they said they

were thinking about it. Now they have announced they will be spending

the best part of ?10 million on it, at a time when money is supposedly

tight. I'm not particularly surprised by this. It echoes what

happened with the Labour government in 1975. It has caused predictable

outrage from the likes of Boris Johnson. When you have Leave and

Remain at some point in the future, once each one is made official, once

they both have the chance to do this, this clearly gives one side

and advantage, doesn't it? Maybe I am being unduly cynical, but I am

not really surprised that the government might be trying to put

its hands on the scales on one side. I would say I would be intrigued to

know how many of these booklets are going to go straight into the

recycling all the bin, and how many will be read. We have a flavour of

what they will be saying here. If the UK votes to leave the EU, the

resulting economic shock will put pressure on the value of the pound,

which would risk higher prices and damage living standards. The Metro

leaves with this as well. What do you make of it? It has caused

another row, because Leave campaigners are very angry about it.

It might not be surprising the government wants to make their case

in this way, they have an advantageous position that they are

able to do so. The Remain campaign would be able to take advantage over

all of ?30 million -- ?13 million. There is a significant difference in

the resources available. There are questions there about whether it's

all right for the money to be spent on both campaigns to be so

different. Boris Johnson certainly doesn't think so, because he thinks

it is undemocratic. He thinks it is a waste of taxpayers' money, and

even suggesting that David Cameron has put this out to take himself off

the front pages. This is the Prime Minister, the leader of the

Conservative Party being criticised by his own very senior ministers and

MPs. Downing Street say it is only 34p a copy. What can you get for

that money? What do you make of this line? Downing Street says the move

was a response to Downing Street commissioned polling indicating that

the public wanted more information to make an informed choice. That is

probably true. Lots of people in focus groups say, I want someone to

give me the facts. But that's not what this is. I was listening to

someone saying that what people want are the facts, but there are loads

of facts out there. What people really want is someone to tell them

what to do, frankly. I'm not sure this will make any difference. You

mention taking David Cameron of the front page. It hasn't succeeded, if

we look at the FT. This is referring back to a letter that the FT is

talking about, which he wrote nearly three years ago. This is a story

which appears to suggest that David Cameron intervened in an EU

discussion about money held in trusts in relation to tax avoidance

and clamping down on it. In the letter it self, there is an extract

here, there is a comment from a government insider who says that in

the negotiations they were able to secure a sensible way forward, to

ensure tax consequences. Ownership had to be reported to the HMRC. The

poor who have money, but not a huge amount, who'd leave their money in a

trust to avoid some taxes when they died, that they walked to be allowed

to bypass these tax avoidance rules. All of this is relevant in the light

of the Panama painters and what has emerged about David Cameron's late

father. -- Panama Papers. The first point is the shocking figures

contained within the story from the FT, which says that Britain is now

the strongest European rival to Switzerland for wealth management,

administering 1.2 trillion of assets. The second point is what

this all does for David Cameron's credibility in the EU debate. We

know he will not fight another election. These allegations

surrounding him are difficult for the Tory brand, and particularly for

him personally. But he isn't fighting an election. He has to make

a convincing case in terms of the referendum. If you are criticised

for being part of an out of touch International elite, it really

doesn't help. Now two more stories. Let's reflect on the fact that the

Independent has a large photo of Donald Trump on the front, asking,

can America finally dumped from? -- can America finally dumped from?

This is after his defeat in Wisconsin. Looking at his polling in

New York, the next battle ground, he's polling at 50%. I'm not

convinced the wheels have come off yet. And he is good at bouncing

back. You would be a brave individual to write him off. The

Republican convention, if it happens and he still doesn't have the

majority he needs, all bets are off. It is a fascinating race. An

absolute roller-coaster. I was reading a profile of Ted Cruz at the

weekend. It is quoting his former colleague's roommate saying he would

rather have absolutely anybody else as a room mate -- as president

rather than Ted Cruz. He is not popular among Republicans either,

Ted Cruz. If it isn't Trump, it will be Kruse. At it will Cruz. He does

have some views that do not chime with a lot of people in America. And

lots of views that do chime with them. Ted Cruz is, if used shine a

spotlight on him and his views, is he any better? A story that caught

your eye. This is an Aston Villa supporter on the front of the Daily

Telegraph who wants Leicester City to win the league. I thought he was

having a David Cameron moment and getting confused about his team!

Prince William has announced he is absolutely dying for Leicester to

win the league. He is an Aston Villa fan. He said he saw a road sign and

it confused him! He says that he made the remarks in a speech to mark

the ten years that Prince William has spent as president of the

Football Association. He goes on to say that Princess Charlotte has just

started kicking a ball as well. It seems only yesterday we were seeing

pictures of him as a toddler, and now he's done ten years at the top

of the FA! I would also like Leicester to win the league. Thank

you both very much. These front pages have come in while we have

been on the air. The government vote and leafleting story. The Sun has a

story about police in India hunting a gang believed to be plotting an

attack days before the royal visit there. The Daily Express,

significant rises in type two diabetes world wide.

Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website

where you can read a detailed review of the papers.

It's all there for you - seven days a week.

Each night's edition of The Papers is being posted

on the page shortly after we've finished.
