: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 James Millar, Westminster Correspondent at
:00:22. > :00:24.the Sunday Post and Louise Scodie, Journalist and Broadcaster .
:00:25. > :00:33.The Times leads with Jon Platt, who's won a High Court ruling
:00:34. > :00:36.after taking his daughter on holiday during term time.
:00:37. > :00:38.The Mail runs with the same story,
:00:39. > :00:41.and says the ruling could lead to a rush of families taking cheaper
:00:42. > :00:47.The Mirror says the government is now vowing
:00:48. > :00:48.to tighten laws to make it
:00:49. > :00:51.more difficult for families who plan trips outside of school
:00:52. > :00:56.There's a theme emerging - the Independent says the ruling
:00:57. > :00:59.by the High Court could lead to 3 pupils in every class of 30
:01:00. > :01:07.The Telegraph leads with an apology from the new head
:01:08. > :01:10.of the RSPCA who says the organisation has become too
:01:11. > :01:17.from the French energy minister about the 'colossal' cost
:01:18. > :01:21.of the Hinkley Point nuclear project to the energy company EDF.
:01:22. > :01:23.The Guardian has an interview with the new Mayor
:01:24. > :01:25.of London Sadiq Khan, who says Labour should follow
:01:26. > :01:28.the same strategy as Tony Blair in order to win the next general
:01:29. > :01:39.And the Express says a nap during the day could raise your risk
:01:40. > :01:55.We did not really want to read that. Let's begin, we made the point that
:01:56. > :01:59.so many of the papers are leading on a punter friendly story. We are all
:02:00. > :02:02.interested on this issue whether you can or can't take your children out
:02:03. > :02:06.of school during the holiday. I'm not surprised, it is right that this
:02:07. > :02:11.front page has had so much coverage, it affects thousands of people
:02:12. > :02:14.across the country, families are penalised by travel companies for
:02:15. > :02:20.taking their kids on holiday during holiday season because the fares go
:02:21. > :02:23.up massively. You can understand why this particular parent went to
:02:24. > :02:29.court, to defend his decision to take his daughter wagering term
:02:30. > :02:32.time. Understandably, all of the newspapers are describing it as a
:02:33. > :02:37.landmark case, it will be fascinating to see what happens as a
:02:38. > :02:40.result. I have to say that I find the coverage overwhelmingly in
:02:41. > :02:47.favour of families and parents on this. There is a big theme, parent
:02:48. > :02:51.power and bringing power back? It is a victory in the mirror, a win in
:02:52. > :02:55.The i newspaper, the Daily Mail says it is chaos. We don't know what the
:02:56. > :02:59.government will do, the government is not happy about this. Michael
:03:00. > :03:03.Gove does not want people, when he brought in the roles can he did not
:03:04. > :03:07.want people to take their kids out of school in term time so they have
:03:08. > :03:11.said they will legislate to stop it happening. When and how, we will
:03:12. > :03:15.have to wait and see, clearly there were rules in place and the court
:03:16. > :03:19.has basically suggested they are rubbish and don't stand the test.
:03:20. > :03:22.It's interesting to balance, on one hand there may be some staff and
:03:23. > :03:26.teachers who say that they cannot have children going off willy-nilly,
:03:27. > :03:29.they are busy trying to let them catch up and get on to what they
:03:30. > :03:34.have missed. And parents saying, they cannot take time off in the
:03:35. > :03:39.natural holidays? Yes, the Daily Mail would say it is chaos without
:03:40. > :03:42.AQ at the bus stop. I don't believe as a result that all parents would
:03:43. > :03:47.decide to take their kids away in term time, they have respect for the
:03:48. > :03:52.education of their kids and they want their kids in school learning.
:03:53. > :03:58.I'm not sure we will see a huge rush... James is shaking his head.
:03:59. > :04:01.But it does... Importantly, it opens up the space for this conversation
:04:02. > :04:05.and I think there is a wider issue at hand. I know parents with kids at
:04:06. > :04:10.two different schools in the same borough, and holiday dates aren't
:04:11. > :04:17.the same. RES! It inconveniences parents even further and when we are
:04:18. > :04:21.talking about families who are single parents, it is not fit for
:04:22. > :04:27.the purpose of modern family life, this all has to be looked at. I
:04:28. > :04:34.agree with that. But I'm not sure, when you say that parents have
:04:35. > :04:38.respect, a lot of parents do, middle-class parents do, but there
:04:39. > :04:41.are a lot who don't. Michael Gove put this in so that Yvonne has the
:04:42. > :04:45.same opportunities, kids with books at home and parents who believe in
:04:46. > :04:52.education, they aren't the problem, it is the other ones. The rules now
:04:53. > :04:57.our consistent and fair to everyone, they may not be brilliant all the
:04:58. > :05:01.best rules, but the previous system where a headteacher had some
:05:02. > :05:07.discretion. They could give ten days at discretion? They will always say
:05:08. > :05:11.to the middle-class child who Baena was getting help at home, they will
:05:12. > :05:15.say yes, but that child who needs help and is being kept out of school
:05:16. > :05:20.may be for not the right reasons, it is a different matter. It is very
:05:21. > :05:24.difficult. I'm not sure the current rules are right but I don't know
:05:25. > :05:28.deal turn a tip. That is the problem. You are a parent, will you
:05:29. > :05:34.take your kids on holiday next week or the week after? No. I think
:05:35. > :05:40.education is important. You also have to teach a certain amount of
:05:41. > :05:45.respect for authority. These rules in force that, but I'm not a problem
:05:46. > :05:49.if you like, my kids... It's good to know! My kids have books at home,
:05:50. > :05:55.they will hopefully be OK. When you try and get to grips with why
:05:56. > :05:59.parents are doing it, there is a tension in the moral high ground
:06:00. > :06:02.some parents take some parents say they feel it is educational to take
:06:03. > :06:07.their children to Sri Lanka for two weeks. Other parents say they should
:06:08. > :06:11.be able to do what they like, in brackets, because I do not want to
:06:12. > :06:17.pay the whole fair... You have Jon Platt saying it is his right to take
:06:18. > :06:23.his child away to show her a different experience and a bit of
:06:24. > :06:27.the world. He spent ?13,000 fighting this ruling. We cannot say it is
:06:28. > :06:31.just about finances, you was prepared to spend a vast amount of
:06:32. > :06:35.money, far more than the cost of the holiday, on fighting for his right
:06:36. > :06:38.to make sure as I think he would say, that his child has a well
:06:39. > :06:44.rounded experience and if that means taking days out of school... Deal
:06:45. > :06:48.with the consequence. I went to Disneyland last month, it was not
:06:49. > :06:54.very educational! Did you not make a special project? We don't know what
:06:55. > :06:58.else they did while they were there. They may have learned about the
:06:59. > :07:02.culture of the country... What I love about this is in the Daily
:07:03. > :07:08.Mail, tucked away, it said "Holiday companies were expected to respond
:07:09. > :07:11.by hiking prices in term time". The idea we might finally thwart the
:07:12. > :07:16.hideous holiday costs seems to have gone out the window. But never mind,
:07:17. > :07:19.there's always a cloud to every silver lining! Let's look at the
:07:20. > :07:27.Daily Mail, if we go inside, they have got the story about the IMF. We
:07:28. > :07:31.were talking today about Christine Lagarde talking about the perils of
:07:32. > :07:37.coming out of the EU. And there's more, James? The most telling bit of
:07:38. > :07:41.the story is the top where it says 40 days to go before the Brexit
:07:42. > :07:48.vote, get used to it, there will be a lot more Space-X apparently
:07:49. > :07:55.Christine Lagarde was Osborne's IMF charmed -- a lot more of this! They
:07:56. > :07:59.have all decided Brexit is bad for the economy, this is some sort of
:08:00. > :08:04.conspiracy, according to the Daily Mail, it has asked four people from
:08:05. > :08:10.the League side to comment, and one from the remains eyed, and the IMF
:08:11. > :08:14.are conspiring, apparently. -- the Remain side. The Daily Mail
:08:15. > :08:19.says it is a conspiracy but the IMF 's sake, to be fair, there's no
:08:20. > :08:25.point releasing this after the vote, that seems entirely reasonable. I
:08:26. > :08:29.love the fact this is a classic Daily Mail reporting of the story.
:08:30. > :08:34.The fact they've gone the French bosses accused of interfering, she
:08:35. > :08:38.is not interfering, she works for an organisation where she has a vested
:08:39. > :08:42.interest in whether we go in or out, it will affect countries worldwide,
:08:43. > :08:47.of course the IMF has something to say about it, thanks, Daily Mail!
:08:48. > :08:50.They've used the word "Controversial" prize within ten
:08:51. > :08:57.seconds, talking about David Cameron. -- twice. I enjoy her
:08:58. > :09:08.quote, that "Squirting the EU would be pretty bad to very, very bad". --
:09:09. > :09:11.us quitting. The thing is, the IMF are not all
:09:12. > :09:26.-- Osborne's friend. Eight years later, the INS said they were doing
:09:27. > :09:30.a good job. They seem to be fairly impartial, it
:09:31. > :09:35.is fair to say. It is interesting there is a sense that we do not
:09:36. > :09:38.welcome comments from external... The Bank of England, of course Mark
:09:39. > :09:46.Connolly came under criticism when he dared to mention his opinion on
:09:47. > :09:50.the matter? -- Mark Carney. I'm not sure that they want anyone's opinion
:09:51. > :09:54.but their own! They've mentioned former Chancellor Lord Lamont, they
:09:55. > :09:59.have not mentioned he was terrible, possibly the worst for a long time.
:10:00. > :10:03.Now he is Brexit, he is to be respected. He does not want people
:10:04. > :10:08.interfering, he says it has become buried politicised. I think the
:10:09. > :10:14.bold, red font, 40 days to go will cause me nightmares overnight!
:10:15. > :10:17.Let's move onto The Guardian newspaper, they've been speaking to
:10:18. > :10:22.the new Mayor of London, and he's given his thoughts on where Labour
:10:23. > :10:29.are going wrong and how they might make things right? Indeed, perhaps
:10:30. > :10:32.not so much a thinly veiled criticism on Jeremy Corbyn's
:10:33. > :10:36.leadership, saying that Labour should look at past leaders rather
:10:37. > :10:39.than looking at what is happening at the moment, backtracking later
:10:40. > :10:44.saying that Jeremy is not that bad, maybe he can do better, politics is
:10:45. > :10:53.a team sport, bringing it back to that! A reassuring quote, "I've
:10:54. > :10:59.achieved seven days -- in seven days rather than six days in the
:11:00. > :11:03.opposition". It is not a long time. He is riding high. People are
:11:04. > :11:07.looking at him to give thoughts on the Labour strategy? I love this,
:11:08. > :11:11.there is so much in it. It does not mention he's a Muslim or the sun of
:11:12. > :11:16.a bus driver, it has been repeated ad nauseam! I knew it would be
:11:17. > :11:24.hiding inside! There has been stuff about the Labour Party -- the son of
:11:25. > :11:30.a bus driver. There is stuff about their campaign, that was quite
:11:31. > :11:35.distasteful. He is slapping Corbyn, he cosied up to him to get the
:11:36. > :11:39.nomination. And suddenly, he turns around and
:11:40. > :11:43.says Tony Blair is the good guy and we should listen to him. The most
:11:44. > :11:47.telling thing is the first line is "Labour should unite and focus on
:11:48. > :11:52.winning power". The fact he has to say that says you all you -- says
:11:53. > :12:01.all you need to know about the current state of the Labour Party.
:12:02. > :12:03.And the chance to critique campaigners, and criticisms of the
:12:04. > :12:09.Zac Goldsmith campaign and the disquiet in many parties about this?
:12:10. > :12:13.Indeed, going further by describing Zac Goldsmith as a bad sport for not
:12:14. > :12:17.checking his hand after it was declared at the end. I think that
:12:18. > :12:21.Sadiq Khan will continue to stick the boot in as far as Goldsmith and
:12:22. > :12:25.the campaign are concerned for a long time. So many people were
:12:26. > :12:30.disgusted by what went on, and I think it helped him progress his
:12:31. > :12:33.campaign further. I enjoyed the fact that he revealed David Cameron had
:12:34. > :12:40.phoned him to ask for help in securing a large turnout in London,
:12:41. > :12:44.who phones? Did he not text? We are not impressed by his social media
:12:45. > :12:50.skills! In The Times, let's go into the inside pages on this one, they
:12:51. > :12:54.were leading like many others on parents taking their kids out of
:12:55. > :12:57.school. Two stories we wanted to look at here, the first is to do
:12:58. > :13:01.with hundreds more prisoners apparently allowed to be released
:13:02. > :13:06.temporarily from jail? Yes, I don't think either of these will go down
:13:07. > :13:11.very well with the ordinary voter. This one, yes, Michael Gove is now
:13:12. > :13:14.at the Department of Justice, and is going to launch a prison reform bill
:13:15. > :13:19.in the Queens speech, that is due on Wednesday. It will allow prisoners
:13:20. > :13:26.out on temporary release. To go to work, visit relatives, integrate
:13:27. > :13:30.into the community, a lot of people would think that is a good idea,
:13:31. > :13:37.other people won't, largely because it is scaled back. After a
:13:38. > :13:40.high-profile murder a prisoner out on release. It is a difficult one,
:13:41. > :13:44.you should not necessarily change the rules just because one case, but
:13:45. > :13:52.if one person is murdered, that's too many. I think it will divide
:13:53. > :13:58.people. Yes, I'm not sure that many readers of The Times will be happy
:13:59. > :14:02.to read these two stories. Interesting, in the prisoner story,
:14:03. > :14:10.Michael Gove, and the fact he wishes to call those inmates "Men" rather
:14:11. > :14:13.than prisoners, and accommodation rooms rather than cells, I'm
:14:14. > :14:16.surprised to hear such humane language from him, maybe I'm
:14:17. > :14:21.painting a bad picture, but it surprised me. It ended with a quote
:14:22. > :14:26.on the reform trust supporting these moves. Quite a hopeful piece, I
:14:27. > :14:37.would think. Take us underneath here. And to refugees, it's topical
:14:38. > :14:42.today, of course, looking at numbers, David Miliband has weighed
:14:43. > :14:46.into the debate about how many Syrian refugees we should take? For
:14:47. > :14:51.many, the right brother, saying we should listen to him on this. He is
:14:52. > :14:54.quoting numbers, and being very specific about what the numbers
:14:55. > :14:59.would mean for different areas of the country, and if we were taking
:15:00. > :15:03.25,000 Syrians per year into the country, it is 40 per Parliamentary
:15:04. > :15:09.constituency. He says it won't overwhelm the system, it may be true
:15:10. > :15:13.but I want more detail, I want to know the infrastructure which will
:15:14. > :15:16.be put in place to support it, and the emotional and logistical support
:15:17. > :15:22.given to help the refugees integrate into society. I think it is lovely
:15:23. > :15:25.to have that top level but the ordinary person in this country
:15:26. > :15:28.wants to know how this is going to work, if we are going to welcome
:15:29. > :15:33.that many people in. I'm not sure he's the right brother, even this,
:15:34. > :15:36.anyone who stands up and says we will take 100,000 extra people won't
:15:37. > :15:43.get many votes in the current climate. To some extent, it's a good
:15:44. > :15:47.idea, but it is how do you do it? And it creates tension, I think a
:15:48. > :15:51.lot of people, it is hearts and minds, a lot of people look at the
:15:52. > :15:56.plight of people and think, that's great. But where will they go, how
:15:57. > :16:00.will they access the NHS? And it is trying to get that balance, I
:16:01. > :16:05.suppose? The other thing is, people displaced in the country next to
:16:06. > :16:09.Syria should be allowed to get on with settling in in that country and
:16:10. > :16:14.working and contributing to that country. It seems entirely sensible.
:16:15. > :16:21.It is both daft and unpleasant to have them in camps with fences, and
:16:22. > :16:26.all the rest of it, as long as they aren't taking local people's jobs,
:16:27. > :16:30.they could contribute and that would be good for everyone. It has painted
:16:31. > :16:33.a black and white picture, saying the only hope is that they become
:16:34. > :16:37.productive residents of the country they go to, yes, but he also says
:16:38. > :16:42.the only or tentative is people are placed in camps, a magnet for
:16:43. > :16:47.criminality... -- an alternative. There a grey area that has to be
:16:48. > :16:49.explored. And an acknowledgement that not everyone who is integrated
:16:50. > :16:56.in society will have a successful life. And, as we said, the one to
:16:57. > :17:02.better support people. There was an interview on the BBC, on This
:17:03. > :17:12.World... You will get the story in more detail this way! We will delve
:17:13. > :17:17.into The Financial Times. Hinkley Point, take us to Somerset, what is
:17:18. > :17:20.going on? There is supposed to be a gigantic power station at the cost
:17:21. > :17:27.of 18 billion, but whether there will ever be won is anyone's guess.
:17:28. > :17:31.It is another infrastructure project that is a shambles. The French are
:17:32. > :17:39.supposed to be building it, now they are not entirely sure it is worth
:17:40. > :17:49.the money, the energy minister, and brilliantly the former partner of
:17:50. > :17:58.the president Francois Hollande is the mother of his children. Who
:17:59. > :18:02.knows what will happen? It is supposed to produce 7% of the
:18:03. > :18:09.nations black trustee, not all of the lights will go off but some will
:18:10. > :18:12.if it is not built -- electricity. And apart from the fact we are
:18:13. > :18:18.talking about a massive amount of money for not much output, it is
:18:19. > :18:23.only expected to provide 7% of electricity over a decade, that does
:18:24. > :18:28.not seem like a lot for ?18 billion. We have this quote from the French
:18:29. > :18:32.energy minister saying if we pull out, it sends a bad signal to
:18:33. > :18:37.competitors, the French don't keep their word, they are worried about
:18:38. > :18:39.their reputation which seems an unnecessarily added complication
:18:40. > :18:45.when they should look at the fact as to whether it will work and the
:18:46. > :18:49.cost-effective -- be cost-effective. This has been running for a while,
:18:50. > :18:54.looking ahead to tomorrow, changing up, this is a new programme on the
:18:55. > :18:57.BBC, and I know that you will both be sitting down watching the
:18:58. > :19:02.Eurovision Song Contest? Have you got your party planned?
:19:03. > :19:09.Yes, snacks representing all of the nations! But it is fewer nations,
:19:10. > :19:12.this particular angle in The Guardian newspaper is the Ukrainian
:19:13. > :19:18.and Russian tensions, political stuff that always comes out? This is
:19:19. > :19:22.politics, never mind Sadiq Khan, it is completely... It is a weird
:19:23. > :19:26.event, this is the Ukrainian entrant, who has said, vote for me
:19:27. > :19:30.because Russia invaded my country. Not whether she has a good song or
:19:31. > :19:34.not! The Russian attitude to Eurovision is bizarre because they
:19:35. > :19:41.really want to win... They are favourites? Yes, but they have a
:19:42. > :19:44.terrible record on gay rights, and there is nothing Day! They are
:19:45. > :19:50.favourites and they will get feed, I'm sure. I hope every flag waved
:19:51. > :19:59.during their performance is a rainbow flag. To show solidarity
:20:00. > :20:03.with the LGBT community. I hope there is not going to be any
:20:04. > :20:10.political voting going on tomorrow because of increased public
:20:11. > :20:12.voting... Yeah, right! It's a masterclass in political voting,
:20:13. > :20:17.that's why the UK don't do very well even though we've had great people.
:20:18. > :20:21.We have good contestants tomorrow! Had you heard the entry tomorrow?
:20:22. > :20:25.They are pretty good, they can sing! The bad news is Ireland have not got
:20:26. > :20:33.through, we have heard West 's former singer is not going to be
:20:34. > :20:38.there. There is a small number of contestants -- Westlife. Our
:20:39. > :20:42.coverage is always quite tongue in cheek, the late, great Terry Wogan,
:20:43. > :20:48.and Graham Norton, do they do that in other countries? Apparently the
:20:49. > :20:52.Russians do, but they get beat, and rainbow flags waved at them, they
:20:53. > :20:57.don't get it. I don't understand why Putin is so keen on it, he does like
