:00:19. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:28. > :00:32.tomorrow. Deputy opinion editor of accounting, Harker. Welcome.

:00:33. > :00:38.Westminster correspondent for the press and Journal, Lindsay Watling.

:00:39. > :00:42.The Times leads with a warning from health experts against going ahead

:00:43. > :00:49.with the rear Olympics over fears of the spread of the Zika virus. The

:00:50. > :00:53.Daily Mail leads on pensions prospect of the youth vote. The

:00:54. > :00:58.express says the Prime Minister has no real fears that the Dutch economy

:00:59. > :01:04.if there is a vote to leave. -- fears for the British economy.

:01:05. > :01:08.Lloyds bank is poised to make its first acquisition since been dealt

:01:09. > :01:14.out by the taxpayer according to the Financial Times. And older drivers

:01:15. > :01:17.should we allow to carry on until 75 without renewing their licence,

:01:18. > :01:20.according to an official report, on the front of the Telegraph. The

:01:21. > :01:26.Guardian continues the debate on legal highs with the warning of the

:01:27. > :01:31.dangers of black-market drugs. Finally, the Mirror, accusations of

:01:32. > :01:46.the wife of Johnny Depp, that he assaulted her with a phone. Let's

:01:47. > :01:49.start with the Daily Mail. No disagreement on whether staying in

:01:50. > :01:56.or leaving the EU would be better for us. Why staying in Europe will

:01:57. > :02:02.harm your pension, the experts now saying that staying in could harm

:02:03. > :02:08.your pension. More confusion, as we have been warned about today. One

:02:09. > :02:14.day we're being told if we leave your will be at risk, tomorrow we

:02:15. > :02:19.are then told exactly the opposite. So how do people make up their mind?

:02:20. > :02:27.This is essentially a response to what the government put out

:02:28. > :02:36.yesterday, just before purdah, suggesting an exit with -- would

:02:37. > :02:41.affect pensions. But experts are mentioned three times without

:02:42. > :02:45.actually been named. We can assume they are not significant voices

:02:46. > :02:53.otherwise they would be named. But it is such an obvious rebuttal

:02:54. > :02:59.because they even have a word in underlined, as if you did not

:03:00. > :03:03.present the significance. -- appreciate. The government has put

:03:04. > :03:12.out its line, the Daily Mail feels it must do a rapid rebuttal. Can I

:03:13. > :03:17.move onto the next story? I am not quite ready, you from the Guardian,

:03:18. > :03:30.so we know where your loyalties life. Our economics editor is

:03:31. > :03:36.borderline exit. Is he? Excuse me, I've just tried to find a keyboard.

:03:37. > :03:40.There are left-wing voices for the exit, we just hear the right-wing

:03:41. > :03:42.one about immigration. But the left-wing case is about a remote

:03:43. > :03:50.body which basically supports business people, improves life only

:03:51. > :03:56.for major corporations, doing not a lot for me people. So there is a

:03:57. > :04:01.strong left-wing case also. We will move on, as you don't like to stay

:04:02. > :04:04.with that. Leave or remain, no wonder we are all confused. It is

:04:05. > :04:08.not just pensions on which we had different views. It is pretty much

:04:09. > :04:13.every aspect of what it will mean to stay off to go. The reason I want to

:04:14. > :04:26.move on is this encapsulates the holder them. -- the whole dilemma of

:04:27. > :04:29.information and misinformation. A committee criticised both sides

:04:30. > :04:38.today over the figures they use. Claims from the Leave camp that

:04:39. > :04:46.leaving would save ?350 million per week, they said was deeply

:04:47. > :04:51.problematic. And the Remain camp, also making claims about how we

:04:52. > :04:57.would be worse off if we leave, both been criticised for bogus claims. No

:04:58. > :05:03.wonder people find it difficult to drill down the facts, they are all

:05:04. > :05:06.disputed. In this debate the facts are almost irrelevant. People will

:05:07. > :05:12.just believe the facts they want to believe. If 5000 top economists say

:05:13. > :05:16.it will be terrible to leave the EU, then if you are so minded, then half

:05:17. > :05:22.a dozen saying something different will sway your view. And I think

:05:23. > :05:29.people have a view that they either believe in the EU, or they don't. It

:05:30. > :05:32.is more of a gut instinct. You either believe that immigration is a

:05:33. > :05:36.good or a bad thing, and that will sway your view. You believe it is

:05:37. > :05:42.right that it is part of a global organisation which has kept the

:05:43. > :05:45.peace and encouraged links, forming links with other countries and

:05:46. > :05:56.nations, and that will sway you. But the actual fact, it is all fantasy,

:05:57. > :06:01.you have got... It might not be. One sidles a, it is wonderful if we

:06:02. > :06:06.leave, the other says, it will be an absolute disaster. Both sides are

:06:07. > :06:10.just exaggerating wildly. But some people cannot even find big

:06:11. > :06:15.reaction. They don't even know what reaction they should trust. Should

:06:16. > :06:19.it be the heart of the head? What other people are saying that they

:06:20. > :06:23.don't know which way to vote, even now, they could go into the ballot

:06:24. > :06:28.booth on the day and just have to take a guess.

:06:29. > :06:33.The key thing is to look at different areas that are important

:06:34. > :06:38.to you, arguments for and against. Tom Hunter commissioned a book, last

:06:39. > :06:41.month, essentially lots of experts who came together and wrote

:06:42. > :06:46.different chapters on different sections of the judgment. It was a

:06:47. > :06:50.very balanced take. As close to an independent look as you will get.

:06:51. > :07:00.If you have got time to read it, quick. Finally, on the EU, for the

:07:01. > :07:06.moment, here is the Guardian. Delia Smith is having her say. Daily scare

:07:07. > :07:13.tactics beggar belief, they are not working, the debate is an unsavoury

:07:14. > :07:17.petty squabble, it is time to grow up. What I find is interesting is

:07:18. > :07:21.that even when both sides are criticised by the Treasury Select

:07:22. > :07:23.Committee for exaggerating claims, they then attacked each other for

:07:24. > :07:31.the criticism that each had received. It just did not stop.

:07:32. > :07:37.Everybody is just piling in. But I did think it is people adding up

:07:38. > :07:44.figures and saying, my ?137 a week that I might lose will swing it, or

:07:45. > :07:49.this pension argument the Daily Mail has on the front age, I think people

:07:50. > :07:53.feel it in a way that, you know, they either tolerate immigration or

:07:54. > :07:58.not, or they feel bonded to Europe and they feel, you know, like young

:07:59. > :08:02.people, especially, feel like they want to go to Europe as they think

:08:03. > :08:05.it will allow them to travel more, they conceded a future lying in

:08:06. > :08:11.travelling across the continent, and they like the idea of free movement.

:08:12. > :08:19.Those are the issues. Why is Delia Smith being asked for her opinion.

:08:20. > :08:23.Although she title to -- she is entitled to it as much as anybody.

:08:24. > :08:29.She sums up what many are thinking. People are fed up, you are talking

:08:30. > :08:35.about the fighting between the camps, there is even fighting within

:08:36. > :08:42.the Remain camp, with the SNP being told, have got to make a more case.

:08:43. > :08:47.All these exaggerating claims they are being told off for by the

:08:48. > :08:51.Treasury committee. In a nutshell that and actually type people are

:08:52. > :08:57.feeling and could feed into a lower turnout which is no good thing. I

:08:58. > :09:00.should mention that we had a bit of a tug of war at the Guardian over

:09:01. > :09:03.this piece, because she wrote it as a comment peacefully opinion

:09:04. > :09:08.section, my section, but they stole the front page. They were right to.

:09:09. > :09:14.We hear from politicians of the time but this is a different voice. It

:09:15. > :09:24.meant that my headline did not make it into the paper. And did you know

:09:25. > :09:31.what the headline was? Let's be having EU! The main picture on the

:09:32. > :09:38.times, President Obama embracing a The main picture on the times,

:09:39. > :09:53.President Obama embracing a Hiroshima survivor. No apology, but

:09:54. > :09:57.nobody expected one. I think what it symbolises, his breakdown of race in

:09:58. > :10:02.the USA, he can do things that US presidents have not done. Embracing

:10:03. > :10:08.links with Cuba. And going there and embracing a Hiroshima survivor, an

:10:09. > :10:12.incredible image, somebody who survived an atomic bomb, and the

:10:13. > :10:18.president going there. People tend to do apologies. Japan has

:10:19. > :10:23.apologised for what it did, it sort of apologised, Britain has

:10:24. > :10:28.apologised for slavery, things like that, but it describes strange that

:10:29. > :10:31.the US will not apologise. But then again, this is very difficult, it

:10:32. > :10:38.was a tactical decision, there is still a justification for it in some

:10:39. > :10:40.people's mind. And the talk of a visit for Pearl Harbor, there is

:10:41. > :10:47.talk of a real appetite for it amongst Americans... There is a

:10:48. > :10:51.symmetry to it. But Barack Obama is able to do this because he is coming

:10:52. > :10:55.to the end. Politically it would be difficult for him to apologise. I

:10:56. > :11:00.was reading today something from a survivor who was saying that, in

:11:01. > :11:03.fact, Japan was not entirely innocent on all this either. They

:11:04. > :11:10.have things to apologise for as well. China have been saying that,

:11:11. > :11:16.very much so. Another story on the front of the times, move the real

:11:17. > :11:20.Olympics over virus fears. The number of medical experts writing to

:11:21. > :11:27.the WHO saying postponed, move it, do something, because of Zika. Just

:11:28. > :11:32.this month the IOC said there was no need to delay, no real threat. Now

:11:33. > :11:37.just a few weeks later we have an open letter to the WHO saying, yes

:11:38. > :11:42.we do. It is frightening, really. Because we are a matter of months

:11:43. > :11:48.from it. Logistically, could then be? Maybe back in London again. I

:11:49. > :11:53.don't know. There was a suggestion. Logistically it would be difficult.

:11:54. > :11:58.For the people of Brazil it is a real shame if there is a threat to

:11:59. > :12:01.health I guess there is no decision. They're going through similar

:12:02. > :12:05.problems, and impeachment process against the president of the moment.

:12:06. > :12:11.What the scientists are saying is they expect 500,000 foreign tourists

:12:12. > :12:14.from all over the world and what they worry about is the virus then

:12:15. > :12:18.spreading to other parts of the world as the tourist and competitors

:12:19. > :12:24.leave. Even if you're just a carrier of it. Especially if it goes to

:12:25. > :12:28.poorer parts of the world, Africa, Asia, without the facilities to keep

:12:29. > :12:35.it in check. But people travel to Brazil anyway. I guess it is just

:12:36. > :12:39.these numbers. They have tried to kill off the mosquitoes and the

:12:40. > :12:42.numbers have gone up. Daily Telegraph, Jeremy Corbyn misses a

:12:43. > :12:55.memorial to go on holiday. Missing out on commemorations for the battle

:12:56. > :12:58.of Jutland. It was a battle between the German and British grand fleets,

:12:59. > :13:02.the only major naval clash of the First World War, and slightly

:13:03. > :13:06.interesting because both sides claimed victory. The British lost

:13:07. > :13:10.more ships and sailors but the Germans never ventured out into the

:13:11. > :13:18.North Sea again. So a strategic victory. And Jeremy Corbyn has

:13:19. > :13:23.decided not to go. Obviously he should go because it is a symbol,

:13:24. > :13:28.you Britain, and, to commemorate it, and to support our servicemen. But I

:13:29. > :13:34.can understand he is a man of peace. He is anti-war. And the amount of

:13:35. > :13:40.military anniversaries that he has to go to, First World War, Second

:13:41. > :13:43.World War, all manner of... Argentina, Iraq, Falklands, you name

:13:44. > :13:48.it, we have similar military anniversaries around. We seem to be

:13:49. > :13:57.constantly remembering... Shouldn't we? Indeed. This detracts from the

:13:58. > :14:01.actual story, the commemorations, it is suddenly all about Jeremy:. David

:14:02. > :14:04.Cameron will be there. The German president. Members of the Royal

:14:05. > :14:10.family. Essentially it is everyone but Jeremy. I think the fact that,

:14:11. > :14:12.you know, this is what we are talking about now, it detracts from

:14:13. > :14:19.the importance of the commemorations themselves. We have rolling

:14:20. > :14:27.commemorations. People did. I know it is important. Absolutely, it is a

:14:28. > :14:31.major commemoration. But there are lots of military commemorations that

:14:32. > :14:37.this country does, almost... Because people did. He is missing this to go

:14:38. > :14:46.on a holiday. Perhaps you could change his plans. Changes

:14:47. > :14:56.destination. Financial Times, this is one for Joseph, a fresh critique

:14:57. > :15:04.of the new liberal agenda from the IMF. It is not a tabloid headline.

:15:05. > :15:08.Essentially what it is saying is free-market economics and austerity

:15:09. > :15:13.combined are not very much. They are making the rich richer and the poor

:15:14. > :15:16.poorer. That is an old theme. As people have said for a long time.

:15:17. > :15:20.But what is significant about it as it is coming from the IMF, which has

:15:21. > :15:25.been pushing this agenda on the countries around the world for

:15:26. > :15:34.several years now. Decades. Any sign they will stop? What he said. There

:15:35. > :15:37.are signs of criticism, acknowledging that there has been a

:15:38. > :15:44.very damaging aspect to the policies the IMF has been pushing. Pull out

:15:45. > :15:48.then. A couple more on the Telegraph, keep driving until you

:15:49. > :15:51.are 75, pensioners must be spared the hassle of renewing their licence

:15:52. > :15:55.when they are in good health. But how do you know if they are in good

:15:56. > :15:59.health unless somebody checks? I like this idea because it should be

:16:00. > :16:05.about whether somebody is capable of driving still, not how old you are.

:16:06. > :16:10.It is a just to say... Some people are in their 20s or 30s when they

:16:11. > :16:16.cannot drive. Indeed, but to say you have to stop driving at 75 or have a

:16:17. > :16:19.checkup seems ages. But it is good because many older people are

:16:20. > :16:23.isolated and if you can get in your car and drive then you can go and do

:16:24. > :16:30.things, you are more likely to cause less money to the NHS. Older drivers

:16:31. > :16:35.are often safer. Certainly safer than kids under 25, that is sure.

:16:36. > :16:41.Obviously they still have an age limit, they are just raising it to

:16:42. > :16:47.75. But they are saying that once people reach 70 we need to start

:16:48. > :16:51.apply for a licence. A lot of people simply don't bother to renew. It has

:16:52. > :16:54.got to be a good thing and given that we need to retire later, work

:16:55. > :17:00.longer, all because we are told it would be healthier, then this is at

:17:01. > :17:04.least the plus side. The last story we will look at is the cheeky face

:17:05. > :17:12.of Chris Evans, who was on the front of the Daily Telegraph he says top

:17:13. > :17:19.tier will drop the offensive jokes. Who could he be referring to? No

:17:20. > :17:29.idea. I guess it is a good thing. With Jeremy Clarkson, if you'd is

:17:30. > :17:34.talking about him, we did have a lot of... Every few months a new

:17:35. > :17:39.controversy. He offended just about everyone in the world. Argentinians,

:17:40. > :17:43.Mexicans... For some people that was part of the appeal of the programme.

:17:44. > :17:50.Not personally, but a lot of people locked all the offensive jokes. But

:17:51. > :17:52.it was a programme about cars. Chris Evans says that have spread

:17:53. > :17:55.assessor's politically incorrect humour added nothing to the

:17:56. > :18:02.programme. Many viewers will disagree. You like to be edgy and to

:18:03. > :18:06.have humour. But sometimes the amount of offence caused when a

:18:07. > :18:09.bit... Obviously I think that his ego got out of hand. He felt he

:18:10. > :18:15.could not only insult people punch them also. And Chris Evans wants to

:18:16. > :18:19.chart his own path. You want to make his own thing. There was a recent

:18:20. > :18:23.episode where they filmed something and they were speeding past the

:18:24. > :18:31.Cenotaph and it had to be cut. A steep learning curve. Thank you

:18:32. > :18:52.both. That is all for the papers for tonight. Next, time for the weather.

:18:53. > :18:56.Another bank holiday weekend another less than straightforward forecast.

:18:57. > :18:59.There are still some complications but for most of us it is a weekend

:19:00. > :19:00.is half
