:00:00. > :00:00.more important to try and enjoy the process now.

:00:00. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our Sunday morning edition of the Papers.

:00:19. > :00:20.With me are journalist and broadcaster Benedicte Paviot,

:00:21. > :00:23.and Dave Wooding, Political Editor of the Sun on Sunday.

:00:24. > :00:29.The Mail headlines with new allegations

:00:30. > :00:31.about Culture Secretary John Whittingdale's private life.

:00:32. > :00:35.It claims he sent a photo of highly sensitive Cabinet papers to a woman

:00:36. > :00:41.A crisis is looming in primary school places in England,

:00:42. > :00:44.with a shortfall of 10,000 places expected in four years' time.

:00:45. > :00:50.The Sunday Express dedicates a full page to the photograph of the Duke

:00:51. > :00:52.and Dutchess of Cambridge visiting the Taj Mahal and replicating

:00:53. > :01:04.The Sunday Telegraph quotes a senior Government minister saying Britain

:01:05. > :01:06.could face an economic shock similar to the banking crisis if it

:01:07. > :01:10.And The Sunday Times writes that the former cricketer

:01:11. > :01:12.Sir Ian Botham has backed Britain leaving the European Union and said

:01:13. > :01:16.Britain should 'stand proud' as he did as a cricketer.

:01:17. > :01:28.First of all, the Telegraph. Economic rupture if we leave the EU,

:01:29. > :01:33.says a Government minister. It would be similar to the banking crash.

:01:34. > :01:41.What do you make the? It sounds painful, doesn't it? Rupture. This

:01:42. > :01:46.is Project Fear taking off. The Government are laying down stark

:01:47. > :01:50.scenarios of what will happen if Britain votes on the 23rd of June to

:01:51. > :01:55.leave the European Union. The latest is from Stephen Crabb, newly

:01:56. > :02:04.promoted to the work and pensions brief. After Iain Duncan Smith left.

:02:05. > :02:09.He has said that the shock waves caused by RX it would be akin to the

:02:10. > :02:23.banking crisis of 2008. He talks about self harm by voters. -- caused

:02:24. > :02:25.by our exit. He is talking about the economic and social consequences of

:02:26. > :02:30.wanting to leave will stop already, the people who want to leave the

:02:31. > :02:34.European Union know what he is going to say, just like the 16 page

:02:35. > :02:40.brochure that is going round all the houses at a cost of ?9 million. They

:02:41. > :02:43.are saying that all people want is objective information. It doesn't

:02:44. > :02:54.exist. I don't think anybody is going to get it.

:02:55. > :03:00.We can think that there is not going to be some kind of ink pact in some

:03:01. > :03:05.kind of shock if we come. Yes, and there's no way that that couldn't

:03:06. > :03:10.have an impact. It will have an impact. An economic one, and all

:03:11. > :03:13.kinds of things that we don't begin to know. That is one of the

:03:14. > :03:18.criticism that is levelled at the Brexit camp - they are not making

:03:19. > :03:23.clear enough what Britain down the track could look like if it was out

:03:24. > :03:31.of the EU. What is interesting, as you say, this word self harm. He

:03:32. > :03:36.talks about, businesses will flee, factories will close, jobs will be

:03:37. > :03:43.lost with disastrous consequences for families. As you pointed out,

:03:44. > :03:49.David, this landmark report expected from the Treasury tomorrow. The

:03:50. > :03:55.Telegraph also points out that pro-Brexit Cabinet ministers think

:03:56. > :04:01.this is scaremongering. I will be reporting later on this week on

:04:02. > :04:07.President Obama's visit. We believe he is going to suggest that it is

:04:08. > :04:11.better for the UK to remain, and how that will play out, that Britain

:04:12. > :04:16.would be stronger in the EU. Will that backfire? Lets just move on to

:04:17. > :04:31.the Sunday Times because of what you just raised. Ian Botham swings back

:04:32. > :04:41.for Brexit. Bummer saying one thing, Botham saying another - -- Balmer --

:04:42. > :04:47.President Obama saying one thing and Ian Botham saying another. People,

:04:48. > :04:50.to take one side or the other. In the Sunday Times, we have had the

:04:51. > :05:00.fear in the Sunday Telegraph, and in The Times we have Ian Botham

:05:01. > :05:06.swinging bat for Brexit. A great analogy. Inside, it has a graphic of

:05:07. > :05:12.him swinging a bat and a blue ball with the European Union flag and

:05:13. > :05:16.stars on it. He is saying it is a racket and that Britain is being

:05:17. > :05:20.swallowed up by it. It is full of waste and corruption. He has really

:05:21. > :05:29.had a go at the European Union. Again, both camps will be bringing

:05:30. > :05:35.people to win support. Argue surprised that they lead with it? He

:05:36. > :05:40.has opinions on politics, and that is great, but is it a lead story?

:05:41. > :05:45.Although the official campaign launched on Friday, we feel we have

:05:46. > :05:50.been in this campaign for ages. I am fascinated. I know the opinion polls

:05:51. > :05:53.got it wrong at the last election, but I would be fascinated we could

:05:54. > :05:59.put some figures on how many people Ian Botham can swing. I'm not sure.

:06:00. > :06:05.And I certainly wouldn't put him in the same camp as President Obama. If

:06:06. > :06:09.anything, we know that the Chinese president, when he was here, the

:06:10. > :06:15.Indian Prime Minister, they've all been coming out. The French

:06:16. > :06:21.Government as well. Matt Horne is giving an interview on the BBC as

:06:22. > :06:26.well. I wonder how many votes he will swing? I'm not sure. What is

:06:27. > :06:32.sure, and what the Sunday Times is pointing out, is that this is

:06:33. > :06:39.certainly a blow, this endorsement from Ian Botham, for number ten.

:06:40. > :06:55.They were looking for support from arson Wenger as well. -- Arsene. We

:06:56. > :07:11.in Liverpool wants to remain in Europe, having beaten the riskier

:07:12. > :07:18.Dortmund -- Borussia Dortmund. A 10,000 gap in primary school

:07:19. > :07:25.places. It is not just a funding crisis, there are more of us. And we

:07:26. > :07:29.need more primary school places. It is being blamed partly on funding

:07:30. > :07:32.and partly on policies that have made it difficult for schools to

:07:33. > :07:37.expand. It doesn't say it in the Observer piece, but I guess partly

:07:38. > :07:40.immigration from Europe. And the fact that they are becoming

:07:41. > :07:48.academies and it is constraining them, isn't it? The suggestion is

:07:49. > :07:53.that by 2024 we will need 350,000 more school places on top of the

:07:54. > :08:00.300,000 more that we already need. The Conservatives, Nick Gibb, the

:08:01. > :08:04.schools minister, is saying that free schools that have been brought

:08:05. > :08:12.online by the Government will cover a lot of that. The Shadow Education

:08:13. > :08:15.Secretary is saying, kids are not getting their first Playschool. One

:08:16. > :08:22.in five will not get their first place. Over 90% get one of their

:08:23. > :08:33.first three choices will stop if my child got the third choice, I don't

:08:34. > :08:40.think I'd be happy. -- over 90% get one of their first three choices.

:08:41. > :08:48.Something I've become aware of the last two years, it's simply not that

:08:49. > :08:52.way in France. It is a phenomenon. We know that parents sometimes lie

:08:53. > :08:58.about their address and then schools have investigators going round to

:08:59. > :09:01.check where they live. It is not just in one place in the country.

:09:02. > :09:08.They are talking about this detail revealing short play -- shortfall in

:09:09. > :09:12.places in Bolton, Manchester, Leeds, Bolton, Leicester, Birmingham,

:09:13. > :09:18.Walsall, Richmond-upon-Thames, Sutton and Slough. So there will be

:09:19. > :09:22.a lot of worried parents there this morning.

:09:23. > :09:25.I thought it would be a great vote winner for any party to say, we

:09:26. > :09:29.promise that within a few years anybody will be able to walk their

:09:30. > :09:33.job to school without getting in a car, on a bus, because we will have

:09:34. > :09:39.schools that you can go to that are near you and are good. And that's

:09:40. > :09:43.what the free school system was supposed to provide. They changed

:09:44. > :09:49.the rules on where a school could be set up. It could be set up in an old

:09:50. > :09:52.pub or a disused cafe and so forth. It remains to see how well this

:09:53. > :09:56.goes, but it has been going for six years and we are already being told

:09:57. > :10:00.that there is a 10,000 gap in the number of places. There is another

:10:01. > :10:06.aspect. Let's look at the Sunday Times. Stress lessons for parents.

:10:07. > :10:11.Yes, tell me about it! This is the other side of it, that parents,

:10:12. > :10:18.particularly in private schools, are putting such a lot of pressure on

:10:19. > :10:20.their kids to do well, partly, I suspect, because those who are

:10:21. > :10:26.paying for private schools are paying through the nose. And they

:10:27. > :10:32.expect results. And that expectation is being passed on to their

:10:33. > :10:36.children. They are already giving pupils of all ages lessons in how to

:10:37. > :10:42.stay calm. This has now been taken on to the parents, because they are

:10:43. > :10:54.coming into school and, particularly the pushy parents. They put more

:10:55. > :10:59.pressure on kids these days to get a good grade before they take them on

:11:00. > :11:05.at university. The attainment level has really raised quite a bit. It is

:11:06. > :11:09.interesting, because the Sunday Times get our attention by saying,

:11:10. > :11:16.stress lessons for pushy parents. One the inside page, page eight, we

:11:17. > :11:23.are told to breathe, breathe deeply, whether you are a student or a

:11:24. > :11:29.parent, to cut the stress. It is said these are not pushy parents but

:11:30. > :11:32.once you are made angry by the higher exam grades demanded by

:11:33. > :11:39.universities, as you were saying, David. Stress during the child's

:11:40. > :11:44.early life because you are not sure you can get him or her into a good

:11:45. > :11:47.local school and can't walk them to school, then you're worried all the

:11:48. > :11:51.way greater university. Then you get to university and you worry about

:11:52. > :11:58.paying for it, and then getting the job. Natasha Dean, the Government's

:11:59. > :12:05.health champion, mental health champion, and she says that there is

:12:06. > :12:10.not enough focus these days on art, music drama and sport. Kids are

:12:11. > :12:25.being put into academic hot houses. They are concentrating the three

:12:26. > :12:33.letter are -- on the three Rs. Also, there are so many tests now. I talk

:12:34. > :12:38.to teenagers who say, I used to read books off the curriculum, and then

:12:39. > :12:42.as you progress you don't have the time. So, you don't have time to

:12:43. > :12:50.smell the roses, play sport, make music. I would put in an additional

:12:51. > :12:55.thing - I bet you they've got lots of screen time for all sorts of

:12:56. > :12:59.other things, so let's not feel too sorry. The consequences, to come

:13:00. > :13:02.back to the mental health issue, are really quite worrying and your right

:13:03. > :13:06.to draw attention to them, David. The paper talks about growing

:13:07. > :13:14.concerns about a surge in cases of self harm, depression, anxiety and

:13:15. > :13:20.eating disorders. These are really... It might seem trivial

:13:21. > :13:24.about pushy parents are not pushy parent and stressed out students,

:13:25. > :13:27.but these are serious things, self harm, depression, eating disorders.

:13:28. > :13:34.I have a couple of favourite stories, and one of them is, from

:13:35. > :13:41.the Observer, incredible find - palatial Roman villa found in barn

:13:42. > :13:45.conversion. He was changing electrical cables and phoned one of

:13:46. > :13:52.the best preserved Roman villas in Britain ever. Which is amazing. It

:13:53. > :13:59.was 1705A.D, 25 rooms, he's found the whole ground floor. An

:14:00. > :14:05.incredible thing to find us. He was fixing the shower and was getting

:14:06. > :14:10.some electricity laid on in advance, and while they were digging up some

:14:11. > :14:15.of the ground, a little flash of colour and then they found this

:14:16. > :14:20.brilliantly preserved Roman mosaic floor. The pictures are there to be

:14:21. > :14:26.seen on the page. Luckily, they realised when they were doing it.

:14:27. > :14:30.They might have kept on digging, but they didn't. They realised

:14:31. > :14:39.straightaway. Look-mac realised what was going on and told them to stop

:14:40. > :14:44.and contacted Historic England. My question was, what happens? Will

:14:45. > :14:52.that be turned into a tourist centre? Who owns the land? Nokia 's

:14:53. > :14:59.cottage down. Who knows? There's no doubt that one of the pictures of

:15:00. > :15:04.the weekend as the Royal picture. It Excise is the ghost of 24 years ago

:15:05. > :15:11.with Diana. A really charming picture, the Sunday Telegraph has it

:15:12. > :15:22.on the front page. This is a story that people are warned to, whatever

:15:23. > :15:25.their views about the Royal family. There is something, Prince William

:15:26. > :15:30.and Prince Harry, being the sons of the late Princess Diana. When you

:15:31. > :15:34.think back, I reported on it for the BBC and I was working the morning

:15:35. > :15:41.that she died. On the Saturday, we had her funeral, and the Queen

:15:42. > :15:44.Mother said, that's my funeral. There is such, I think happiness in

:15:45. > :15:50.that sense that Prince William is forging his own life, and it is

:15:51. > :15:56.terribly moving to see him sitting on the bench in the very spot at

:15:57. > :16:00.which his mother sat, with his wife, and clearly a loving relationship.

:16:01. > :16:09.We are told by the Sunday Telegraph that body language experts have gone

:16:10. > :16:12.through this, and they say that they oppose, with knees touching,

:16:13. > :16:20.emphasises that their marriage is full of love. I think we knew that.

:16:21. > :16:24.Not only are the legs touching, but I was studying the pictures a moment

:16:25. > :16:30.ago and I noticed that Prince William's right foot is actually on

:16:31. > :16:36.the same spot where his mother's two feet were 24 years ago. Part of it

:16:37. > :16:43.is that they came to celebrate their love, but at the same time to excise

:16:44. > :16:46.the ghost of all those years ago. Another favourite story of mine

:16:47. > :16:55.comes from Dave Wooding, body language expert. We will maybe get a

:16:56. > :17:00.football if we have time. In the sun, Jeremy Corbyn in mac attack.

:17:01. > :17:08.Labour ban McDonald's. Congratulations, this is quite a

:17:09. > :17:14.good story, Dave. At every party conference, they have a big

:17:15. > :17:17.exhibition and lots of companies pay money to put up stands. Labour's

:17:18. > :17:24.National executive committee have banned by Donald from having a stand

:17:25. > :17:28.there this year. It means Labour will lose ?30,000 will stop I've

:17:29. > :17:31.spoken to one MP who says it's ridiculous, we need the money. There

:17:32. > :17:36.is a big funding problem for Labour at the moment, the big-money donors

:17:37. > :17:40.have pulled out. At the same time they think it is a bit snobbish

:17:41. > :17:46.because they are traditional voters probably eaten McDonald's. But you

:17:47. > :17:49.also find out, David Wooding, on the back pages of the sun, that

:17:50. > :17:55.McDonald's has already been cleared, I like the word cleared, is this a

:17:56. > :18:00.security check? Cleared to mount an interactive experience, whatever

:18:01. > :18:05.that is, in support of British farm Rogers at the Tory and SNP

:18:06. > :18:10.conferences. Tell us more. I'm told it's one of these computer gadgets

:18:11. > :18:15.you put on and you step into a happy meal box and walk around. At the

:18:16. > :18:20.same time, McDonald's, this is what the MPs have been saying, they

:18:21. > :18:26.employ 100,000 people, British people. They use British farming

:18:27. > :18:32.produce, potatoes and meat. They are a British business and it is

:18:33. > :18:35.anti-business to say you can't come. Ed Miliband's battle with a bacon

:18:36. > :18:43.sandwich, after that you would think... We have one minute left.

:18:44. > :18:47.Another Dave Wooding. This is why I said you were a Leicester City fan.

:18:48. > :19:04.Partly to annoy you, because Yuri Liverpool fan. A rise, so cloudy.

:19:05. > :19:08.Ranieri for a knighthood. There are some MPs who said that if they win,

:19:09. > :19:12.and it is a 5000-1 shot, he should be given a knighthood. Another

:19:13. > :19:20.foreigner in British football. By the way, the McDonald's does the

:19:21. > :19:24.same thing, sourcing from French farmers. I think since they had such

:19:25. > :19:27.bad publicity, they have cleverly adapted their menus and try to

:19:28. > :19:31.source things from several countries will stop we will watch McDonald's

:19:32. > :19:35.and Ranieri. Thanks to Dave Wooding

:19:36. > :19:38.and Benedicte Paviot. Just a reminder we take a look

:19:39. > :19:42.at tomorrow's front pages every
