:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:18. > :00:29.Twitter was a flame after the last paper review. -- aflame.

:00:30. > :00:33.With me are Benedicte Paviot, who's the UK Correspondent for France 24

:00:34. > :00:35.and the Home Affairs Editor for the Evening Standard, Martin Bentham.

:00:36. > :00:52.Since we last saw Benedicte, she has been awarded the National Order of

:00:53. > :00:55.Merit? I may ask the queen for a knighthood soon. That's lovely.

:00:56. > :00:58.The Telegraph leads on news that David Cameron will

:00:59. > :01:01.tomorrow unite with the Labour party to speak about what he perceives

:01:02. > :01:06.The Financial Times front page shows a picture of some

:01:07. > :01:09.of the tributes that have been paid to the legendry boxer Muhammad Ali

:01:10. > :01:12.and has a piece about how High Street banks are now gearing up

:01:13. > :01:17.Tomorrow's Metro leads on a story we have been covering today,

:01:18. > :01:21.Sir John Major entering into the EU referendum debate to call the leave

:01:22. > :01:28.The Guardian meanwhile says that the leaders of Britain's biggest

:01:29. > :01:32.trade unions have issued a plea to their six million members to vote to

:01:33. > :01:41.The paper also shows a picture of Andy Murray being consoled

:01:42. > :01:43.after his latest grand slam final loss to Novak Djokovic.

:01:44. > :01:46.The Times also shows Murray being consoled and leads with news that

:01:47. > :01:49.British Special Forces are on the front line in Syria.

:01:50. > :01:51.The Mirror leads with claims that Muhammad Ali held out

:01:52. > :01:53.against Parkinson's three times as long as doctors predicted.

:01:54. > :01:57.The Sun also leads with the great boxer and has a full page shot

:01:58. > :02:00.showing Ali's final official picture with the text "Ali at the end".

:02:01. > :02:03.The Daily Mail shows the same shot and splashes on a report that

:02:04. > :02:06.Pig Human embryos have been created in a dramatic bid to solve

:02:07. > :02:19.Starting with The Guardian, unions warned of Brexit threat. Urging

:02:20. > :02:29.union members to back the remaining campaign. These are some of the very

:02:30. > :02:44.big unions, saying we should stay in because it could be a reflux of hard

:02:45. > :02:50.wing writes? It is aiming 6 million members to back the Remain campaign

:02:51. > :02:56.-- Remain. The biggest trade unions in the UK are the ones who are

:02:57. > :03:01.really saying that if there is a Brexit, the Conservative Party would

:03:02. > :03:08.be left to basically undo a lot of the rights such as maternity and

:03:09. > :03:11.paternity, equal treatment for part-time and agency workers, and

:03:12. > :03:19.the right to paid leave. That has underpinned it. They said underpins

:03:20. > :03:24.working rights for British people. This letter is being sent to 6

:03:25. > :03:29.million members on Monday. They do point out that it is important to

:03:30. > :03:36.have various reforms of the EU. It is not perfect by any means. This

:03:37. > :03:41.could arguably be the return of the powers, an increase in sovereignty

:03:42. > :03:45.that Britain would enjoy if you were in favour of leaving the EU? That

:03:46. > :03:51.would be down to Westminster to decide on? And personally I think

:03:52. > :03:55.that is absolutely right. That is the argument that I think we should

:03:56. > :04:00.dot. Dot the idea that all these things would be scrapped is probably

:04:01. > :04:05.wrong anyway. Even if we did have a Brexit. But I think it shows a lack

:04:06. > :04:09.of faith in the unions, and in our own parliaments and their ability to

:04:10. > :04:14.win the votes of the British people. The question isn't whether the EU

:04:15. > :04:19.has done a good or bad things, because some of the things it has

:04:20. > :04:26.done very good things. The question is, who should decide? If you can't

:04:27. > :04:32.win through our own voters and persuading them to do something, I

:04:33. > :04:37.don't think that's right. I don't think we should be relying on people

:04:38. > :04:43.from the outside. This letter talks about the 1999 trade unions working

:04:44. > :04:51.rights and so on. It gives the game away, because this is exactly

:04:52. > :04:58.what... This is why the change occurred in the party to being pro-

:04:59. > :05:03.EU. There work is being brought in which were contrary to what they had

:05:04. > :05:12.been really able to achieve in the British parliamentary system. We

:05:13. > :05:17.vote for MEPs, don't we? It is a democratic institution in that we

:05:18. > :05:21.have as much right to vote in the European elections as any other

:05:22. > :05:29.member state? Ultimately, the ministers have the broader

:05:30. > :05:37.influence. The scrutiny is not there. Personally I think that these

:05:38. > :05:39.arguments are ones to be won. We have a good record with the national

:05:40. > :05:46.minimum wage, antidiscrimination laws in terms of race and sexual

:05:47. > :05:50.discrimination, brought in by our own parliaments before we were in

:05:51. > :06:00.the EU. It's not as if we don't have our own volition towards social

:06:01. > :06:07.progress. An attack on Boris, this shows how this is just not being

:06:08. > :06:13.fought along party lines at all and? We have seen a chasm emerged in the

:06:14. > :06:18.Conservative Party? I think this is a fundamental issue about the future

:06:19. > :06:21.of the country and it shouldn't be dictated by the new party political

:06:22. > :06:27.considerations of party thinking we must all stick together and not have

:06:28. > :06:31.an open airing of our different views on such fundamental issues. It

:06:32. > :06:35.is quite a healthy thing to admit particularly for conservatives, to

:06:36. > :06:39.haul themselves together after the referendum. For the good of the

:06:40. > :06:44.country, I think it is right that people are out there saying what

:06:45. > :06:51.they think freely and openly. It is leading to a rather heated debate.

:06:52. > :06:56.What is remarkable is to see Sir John Major with that kind of full

:06:57. > :07:04.frontal attack. This is a man who was described, when he was Prime

:07:05. > :07:08.Minister, as being boring. He was clearly anything but yesterday. He

:07:09. > :07:13.was very outspoken, and it was a full frontal attack on Michael Gove,

:07:14. > :07:16.Boris Johnson and Iain Duncan Smith. On the 24th of June and afterwards

:07:17. > :07:24.there will still be a Conservative government, and goodness knows what

:07:25. > :07:29.position this puts the government in. There has been incredible

:07:30. > :07:36.damage, and I think the message, whether it's pro- leave or not, it

:07:37. > :07:43.is a momentous decision for this country. I think John Major demeaned

:07:44. > :07:48.himself slightly, it has turned into a personal attack on Boris Johnson.

:07:49. > :08:00.It's a much bigger issue than the individual people concerned. -- he

:08:01. > :08:06.has reverted to personal attacks. UK forces on the front line in theory,

:08:07. > :08:14.they had been in training camps previously? Yes, so we've been told.

:08:15. > :08:21.In London, we have been told that our rebels are on the front line.

:08:22. > :08:26.Helping the new Syrian army in a south-eastern village. This is in

:08:27. > :08:35.Syria, what is crucial is that this village sits near the Iraqi-Di --

:08:36. > :08:40.Iraqi -Jordanian borders. It is also interesting that British Special

:08:41. > :08:44.Forces only last week were interviewing in Libya, so clearly

:08:45. > :08:49.British Special Forces don't need approval from the House of Commons.

:08:50. > :08:56.It's not like having regular troops on the ground? Know, often our

:08:57. > :09:01.troops operate in countries we don't know about in very covert ways. I

:09:02. > :09:06.think, in this case, there are talks about helping in a particular case

:09:07. > :09:13.with logistics like building defences to make longer safe and so

:09:14. > :09:20.on, to help rebels rappel Islamic State attacks. I think that is quite

:09:21. > :09:25.a good seeing. Staying with the Times, Novak Djokovic won be French

:09:26. > :09:35.Open today. Roland Garros consoling Andy Murray, very touching? It is.

:09:36. > :09:40.Yes, Novak Djokovic is Andy Murray's old nemesis. Andy Murray

:09:41. > :09:47.did very well to get into the final and it was fantastic to see Novak

:09:48. > :09:51.Djokovic, he has always said that he has extra angels sitting on his

:09:52. > :10:02.shoulders. The clouds parted, the Sun came out, it wasn't lost on

:10:03. > :10:07.anybody. -- sun. He spoke in French, he made a few tiny mistakes, it

:10:08. > :10:11.didn't matter. He did remarkably well, even apart from winning. He

:10:12. > :10:18.said he thinks it is the epitome of his career. Dignity in a final

:10:19. > :10:21.ported, a picture of Muhammad Ali taken just a couple of months ago?

:10:22. > :10:32.Obviously diminished by the appalling on is that he suffered?

:10:33. > :10:36.Yes, and he had painted at so look a little bit older than he did when he

:10:37. > :10:42.was in his physical prime. You can still see the power and you can

:10:43. > :10:46.still see the presents that he had. Finally, going over to the

:10:47. > :10:51.Telegraph, these are the cover stories that caused a bit of a stir

:10:52. > :11:00.last hour. Leftover bottle of red, put it in the fridge with the

:11:01. > :11:07.white? Advice from a wine expert? Yes, making sure you don't waste it

:11:08. > :11:13.and drink it very quickly. That's if you have any left. Yes, this is a

:11:14. > :11:18.great issue. The question is, do you actually have any left to put in the

:11:19. > :11:25.fridge? And if so, are you going to keep it for so long that you need to

:11:26. > :11:29.put it into the fridge? Just before Christmas, I saw that you can get

:11:30. > :11:43.corks that take the extra air out of the bottle. Just sip it, enjoy

:11:44. > :11:49.life. It's short. Yes, the vacuum is don't get much use in my house. The

:11:50. > :12:03.last story of the night, couples are having less sex because of

:12:04. > :12:10.television box sets? I think this is particularly in the United Kingdom.

:12:11. > :12:15.It seems to be a report... It's on the front of the daily Telegraph. I

:12:16. > :12:22.wonder if this happens in France and Italy? Do the French have box sets.

:12:23. > :12:27.Of course we do! But there is too much TV watching. I was watching a

:12:28. > :12:33.BBC programme years ago, it was greatly admired and I loved it, but

:12:34. > :12:38.it's actually encourage people to switch the television off and do

:12:39. > :12:44.other things. OK. Doesn't it speak of the polity... The poor quality of

:12:45. > :12:50.people's sex lines but be quality of television at the moment? I suppose

:12:51. > :12:56.it does, but the statistician from Cambridge University here, he says

:12:57. > :13:03.it is very worrying that people are only making love five times a

:13:04. > :13:09.month, they used to be making love five times a month but now it is

:13:10. > :13:16.three times a month. One Twitter user says, three times a month?

:13:17. > :13:26.Lucky devils! Thank you very much, lovely to see you both. Hope to see

:13:27. > :13:30.you again soon. That's it from the papers, coming up next is the Film

:13:31. > :13:39.Review.
