:00:09. > :00:13.Invade Next. -- Where To Invade Next.

:00:14. > :00:17.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:19.With me are Sian Griffiths, the education editor

:00:20. > :00:22.of the Sunday Times, and the political commentator

:00:23. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:29. > :00:31.The Observer carries a warning from David Cameron that a vote

:00:32. > :00:35.to leave the EU could mean an end to increases in the state pension

:00:36. > :00:36.and ring-fenced spending levels for the NHS.

:00:37. > :00:38.And that story also dominates the front page

:00:39. > :00:43.The Mail On Sunday leads with the referendum too -

:00:44. > :00:45.but it has the Archbishop of Canterbury's announcement that

:00:46. > :00:49.The Sunday Times carries allegations that British

:00:50. > :00:51.diplomats considered the possibility of giving Turks the right

:00:52. > :00:59.The Express claims Downing Street is panicking

:01:00. > :01:02.about the prospect of losing the EU referendum.

:01:03. > :01:03.The Sunday Mirror juxtaposes pictures

:01:04. > :01:10.of the Royal family celebrating the Queen's 90th birthday

:01:11. > :01:12.with images of English and Russian football fans fighting in Marseille.

:01:13. > :01:30.Let's begin with the Telegraph, and their main story, PM's Brexit

:01:31. > :01:33.pensions warning exclusive. He tells elderly their special protection

:01:34. > :01:40.from cuts is at risk if they vote to leave. Particular reasons to appeal

:01:41. > :01:47.to this part of the electorate. David Cameron has written an article

:01:48. > :01:52.for the Sunday Telegraph, saying TV licences and retirement income may

:01:53. > :01:56.not still be funded by the government, and it is because

:01:57. > :02:02.economists are predicting a ?40 billion black hole in finances. He

:02:03. > :02:06.is targeting be over 65s because we think they are more likely to vote

:02:07. > :02:12.to leave the EU. So they are the People who will these these things.

:02:13. > :02:17.It seems as though Downing Street are getting a little rattled by

:02:18. > :02:24.these polls that are emerging, giving the Leave campaign a lead

:02:25. > :02:28.over the ones who want to remain. Slightly disingenuous to talk about

:02:29. > :02:35.the government funding license fees, because as we know it, the over 75s

:02:36. > :02:39.fees are being handed over to the BBC eventually. But we have to be

:02:40. > :02:43.careful with polls as we know from the general election last year. They

:02:44. > :02:49.can be completely wrong. Most put the two sides neck and neck. They

:02:50. > :02:51.are very close. There is a poll in the Observer suggesting a

:02:52. > :02:56.significant number of people are yet to make up their mind and will only

:02:57. > :03:01.do so in the last seven days before June 23. Even the polls we have at

:03:02. > :03:07.the moment are on the basis that many are yet to decide. They need to

:03:08. > :03:13.be taken with a pinch of salt. The key with the stories is yet again

:03:14. > :03:18.the government are making the economic argument, and you can pick

:03:19. > :03:23.anything you like and this time it happens to be TV licences and

:03:24. > :03:27.pensions. If we leave, Britain will be worse off, therefore the economy

:03:28. > :03:32.will go down and everything you like or value will suffer, and this

:03:33. > :03:37.weekend, the common theme from Downing Street is it will be

:03:38. > :03:45.pensions, pension benefits, free TV licences. Both sides were criticised

:03:46. > :03:50.by the Treasury Select Committee for being a elastic with their

:03:51. > :03:55.statistics. If you want to find a statistic that wants to prove your

:03:56. > :04:01.point, usually can. People will be sceptical about this ?40 billion

:04:02. > :04:04.figure. Every Sunday there is another story on one side or the

:04:05. > :04:11.other are doing one thing or another. What I think the People who

:04:12. > :04:16.want to leave are actually pushing home, and they are getting it, is

:04:17. > :04:20.this idea of immigration. That really is being taken seriously.

:04:21. > :04:25.That is why they are getting ahead in the polls. It is scaring people.

:04:26. > :04:42.The Sunday express say panic rips downstream. Brexit surge reefing. --

:04:43. > :04:48.grips damaging. Jeremy Corbyn says he is working hard to get the Labour

:04:49. > :04:54.vote out. He also said on television how much he led the EU, he said

:04:55. > :04:59.about seven, seven .5 out of ten. In terms of convincing Labour people he

:05:00. > :05:05.is advocating remain, he is not making the most convincing fist of

:05:06. > :05:09.it. They are seen as the critical element where if they don't come out

:05:10. > :05:15.and vote for remain, Britain could well vote to leave. Especially those

:05:16. > :05:19.Labour constituencies I speak to, they say what they are hearing from

:05:20. > :05:23.Labour voters is they are increasingly inclined to vote early.

:05:24. > :05:28.That critical element of sport could be enough to tip the balance in

:05:29. > :05:34.Britain could vote to leave it was Labour voters have been unconvinced

:05:35. > :05:38.-- of support. People are confused where Labour stands because there

:05:39. > :05:42.has not been enough clarity about their position. Labour will be under

:05:43. > :05:48.pressure to make that case more strongly in the few days that are

:05:49. > :05:53.left. The case for remain unusually being made on the front of the Mall

:05:54. > :05:58.of Sunday. The former Archbishop of Canterbury saying he wants to be in.

:05:59. > :06:05.Why is he backing remain? What are his reasons? He has written an

:06:06. > :06:12.article in the mall on Sunday where he says leaving the EU would harm

:06:13. > :06:23.the economy -- the Mail on Sunday. Britain's Christian heritage was

:06:24. > :06:30.founded on these values. I'm not surprised by this that he is backing

:06:31. > :06:36.the Leave campaign, but as we say every week, new figures come out on

:06:37. > :06:40.one side or the other. It is as if they have drawn up their list and

:06:41. > :06:54.are releasing them like a jeep to the papers. -- drip. Proposals under

:06:55. > :06:59.wraps for letting in Turks, until after the referendum. Wasn't this

:07:00. > :07:04.part of the deal with Turkey agreed to help with the refugee and migrant

:07:05. > :07:08.crisis that there would be free travel arrangements for their

:07:09. > :07:15.people? I found this story confusing. The story seems to

:07:16. > :07:20.suggest there have been some diplomatic appraisals and plans

:07:21. > :07:28.discussed for up to 1.5 million Turks, giving them visa free travel

:07:29. > :07:32.to the UK. They would be government officials, teachers and civil

:07:33. > :07:37.servants. But they seem to be proposals at an early stage, they

:07:38. > :07:42.don't seem to have gone very far. President Erdogan has agreed a deal

:07:43. > :07:47.with the EU to close his country's borders with Syria, and he is

:07:48. > :07:54.demanding visa free travel to the EU in return. I'm not sure this story

:07:55. > :08:00.sort of text is much further. -- takes this. Doesn't this imply they

:08:01. > :08:05.are being secretive about it until after the referendum? This is

:08:06. > :08:09.something the Leave campaign is promoting, everything is on the

:08:10. > :08:15.backburner until June 23 and then everything will come out of

:08:16. > :08:24.Pandora's box. It does touch on everything they have been saying

:08:25. > :08:27.about immigration as a key issue. And that issue of Turkey potentially

:08:28. > :08:33.joining the EU. The government are at great pains to state that is used

:08:34. > :08:36.if not decades away. Diplomats are encouraged to be frank and talk

:08:37. > :08:43.about both things, a government ministers, let the Home Secretary,

:08:44. > :08:46.Theresa May, and the Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, Saint

:08:47. > :08:52.bees have been very selectively quoted from the diplomatic cables

:08:53. > :09:02.and we will not be opening the door to 1.5 million Turks -- say these

:09:03. > :09:05.have been. People are worried about the issue of millions of Turks

:09:06. > :09:09.coming to Britain and the government has stressed that will not happen.

:09:10. > :09:15.Diplomatic cables and telegrams, very retro forms of communication.

:09:16. > :09:21.The Sunday Mirror, happy in glorious is the headline, featuring two very

:09:22. > :09:25.different pitches. The Royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace

:09:26. > :09:30.looking at the fly past for the Queen's birthday, and then

:09:31. > :09:36.underneath those battles on the streets of Marseille between England

:09:37. > :09:42.and Russia supporters. It is a peculiar juxtaposition. It is

:09:43. > :09:49.gripping. We were discussing the headline earlier. It is a little

:09:50. > :09:57.clunky, but it draws your attention. It is clever, the juxtaposition.

:09:58. > :10:07.Yes, there are two sides in England. You have the Queen's 90 that they,

:10:08. > :10:12.very happy -- 90th birthday. Prince Charlotte getting her first outing

:10:13. > :10:19.in a new dress. And then dreadful hooliganism. Throwing stones,

:10:20. > :10:22.alcoholism. We will see more of these terrible pictures of

:10:23. > :10:30.Marseille, but it is important to point out these are very small grips

:10:31. > :10:33.of English first light. Police are having trouble keeping control of

:10:34. > :10:41.that part of the city -- English first light. You seem to have

:10:42. > :10:45.Russian fans involved and people spoiling for a fight. A tiny

:10:46. > :10:54.minority have gone out with this express intention and it seems like

:10:55. > :11:01.the English supporters are retreating. But some of these fans

:11:02. > :11:08.sticking around and looking for trouble. Staggering that they do not

:11:09. > :11:15.seem to realise they will be filmed. I think they are drunk. It is

:11:16. > :11:19.clearly fuelled by alcohol. They are still clutching their bottles. I

:11:20. > :11:22.think they get to that stage where they have almost no idea what they

:11:23. > :11:31.are doing except they want to fight. John McDonnell, the Shadow

:11:32. > :11:33.Chancellor, suggesting if Sir Philip Green wind appear before select

:11:34. > :11:37.committees this week, he should lose his knighthood. The papers have

:11:38. > :11:43.already been suggesting that. Mike Ashley tried this trick, the Sports

:11:44. > :11:47.Direct owner, and said I will not appear before the committee. He was

:11:48. > :11:51.relatively dragged in. Sir Philip Green has a lot of questions to

:11:52. > :11:56.answer about BHS and is facing similar questions. He really must

:11:57. > :12:01.appear, and he can try to delay it, that he will be there. These

:12:02. > :12:06.accusations have been flying around for a long time. The way Sir Philip

:12:07. > :12:14.Green. With and disposed of the company, who he sold it to, races

:12:15. > :12:22.questions. -- the way Sir Philip Green dealt with. He maintains he

:12:23. > :12:26.did nothing wrong. I think the committee has the right to ask

:12:27. > :12:32.questions. This whole problem of the pension deficit for these 11,000

:12:33. > :12:38.workers who have lost their jobs or will probably lose their jobs with

:12:39. > :12:43.the collapse of BHS, and Sir Philip Green must appear before a committee

:12:44. > :12:48.of MPs to answer a lot of questions that still remain about what

:12:49. > :12:55.happened. More importantly, how are these people, how is this pension

:12:56. > :13:00.deficit going to be made up? He is angry because Frank Field said the

:13:01. > :13:06.Select Committee would laugh if Sir Philip Green were to offer less than

:13:07. > :13:13.?600 million to settle BHS's pension debts when he gives evidence. That

:13:14. > :13:17.is a perfectly proper thing for the head of a Select Committee to

:13:18. > :13:22.suggest. He has to explain why he sold the company to a guy for a

:13:23. > :13:27.pound who has been twice bankrupt. They clearly did not do enough to

:13:28. > :13:32.diligence if they thought Dominic Chappell was right and proper person

:13:33. > :13:38.to buy BHS. The questions are far from over. They have just begun.

:13:39. > :13:42.That is all for the papers. Thank you for talking us to the front

:13:43. > :13:48.pages. All of them are online as is the paper review. Coming up next,

:13:49. > :13:50.even review. -- The Film Review.
