:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:22.With me are The Chairman of the Political arm

:00:23. > :00:23.of Bell Pottinger and former Conservative MP, Tim Collins

:00:24. > :00:27.and the Deputy Editor of The Guardian, Paul Johnson.

:00:28. > :00:33.The FT leads on the story that Sir Philip Green has agreed to pay

:00:34. > :00:39.The i also picks up the story, saying the news

:00:40. > :00:45.The Telegraph claims that children as young as four could be given sex

:00:46. > :00:47.education to warn them about the dangers of the internet,

:00:48. > :00:51.The Times reports at the inquest into attack on tourists in Tunisia,

:00:52. > :00:53.with a former Tunisian minister telling the paper the attack had

:00:54. > :01:04.Also picking up on that story, The Guardian reports that families

:01:05. > :01:06.of the deceased vow to sue the holiday company

:01:07. > :01:16.A new study linking obesity to 11 types of cancer makes

:01:17. > :01:27.The Metro reports on a trial into whether a cancer surgeon removed

:01:28. > :01:37.Claims that the government is revisiting changes that would see

:01:38. > :01:44.drivers insurance premiums go up by several hundred pounds.

:01:45. > :01:54.He says sorry and pays ?363 million, that is 10% of his net worth. It is

:01:55. > :01:58.also worth bearing in mind the 500 million that he took out of the

:01:59. > :02:02.business ten years ago. It was making a profit and that he had

:02:03. > :02:06.stuck that into a tracker fund it would have doubled by now, so people

:02:07. > :02:15.saying he is paying back almost all the money he took out. He probably

:02:16. > :02:20.pay them off a lot more -- made an off a lot more. At the moment

:02:21. > :02:23.nothing he did seems to have been unlawful, questions over whether the

:02:24. > :02:27.law should be changed for the future, but he probably didn't need

:02:28. > :02:33.to hand this money back and that is hanging onto his knighthood that

:02:34. > :02:37.probably incentivised it. Those campaigning on his knighthood have

:02:38. > :02:41.possibly secured the victory. Maybe it was just as well he had alienated

:02:42. > :02:46.after all. Somebody should tell David Beckham that is so much united

:02:47. > :02:51.costs? If you are asking the question what is at worst, it looks

:02:52. > :02:58.as if it is 363 million to Philip Green. Presumably he is anticipating

:02:59. > :03:03.getting his front row seat back at London Fashion Week. And going

:03:04. > :03:06.around in his yacht he won't be bullied by the media! The deal

:03:07. > :03:15.question is whether the Daily Mail insist on calling him Sir Shifty.

:03:16. > :03:22.Shuffling through no! We haven't got one! How annoying is that? The one

:03:23. > :03:30.night we actually wanted to see the Daily Mail and we don't have it!

:03:31. > :03:37.This has been awful. He buys it in 2000 ?41 and sells it in 2015 to a

:03:38. > :03:41.racing bankrupt the times. In light must have gone on in the background

:03:42. > :03:46.and meanwhile 11,000 people have lost their jobs and 18,000

:03:47. > :03:50.pensioners living in anxiety. But they are getting something, 88% of

:03:51. > :03:57.what they would have got otherwise but the factors, if I was a private

:03:58. > :04:01.citizen who had a company, the company is in dire straits and they

:04:02. > :04:05.can sell it for a quid tomorrow and off-load the pension fund and not

:04:06. > :04:09.worry about it, the same thing could happen tomorrow, normal rules have

:04:10. > :04:13.been changed. And there's a question that the law should be different, it

:04:14. > :04:18.wasn't changed unbearably Labour Government the Tories, so all

:04:19. > :04:24.parties have some sharing keeping the law as it is. They are in the

:04:25. > :04:28.case for changing it but the power of the shame, the media, and we

:04:29. > :04:35.often have stories or whether it is a good thing that the media can be

:04:36. > :04:38.quite so intrusive. This is how it works. If this had been reported in

:04:39. > :04:41.almost any other country in the worldly person could have just

:04:42. > :04:45.bought soft but because it is the British media they held him to

:04:46. > :04:50.account. It also illustrates way political parties can be held in

:04:51. > :04:54.thrall to money. Tony Blair are given a knighthood for services to

:04:55. > :05:01.industry. David Cameron gave him a job looking at government spending.

:05:02. > :05:05.If only there was another issue we are both David Cameron and Tony

:05:06. > :05:15.Blair were on one side. What was that? You can laugh now. The

:05:16. > :05:22.Guardian, Tunisia. There was only ever going to be one verdict from

:05:23. > :05:24.the coroner, unlawfully killed, the question is any culpability

:05:25. > :05:30.potentially that the two operator might have. That is the way some of

:05:31. > :05:35.the families are going now. The coroner was very decisive and didn't

:05:36. > :05:40.mince words on this. He said the response of the security forces was

:05:41. > :05:45.shambolic at best and currently at worst, which to the survivors and to

:05:46. > :05:52.the relatives of those bed must come us an awful shock to hear that. They

:05:53. > :05:57.are now turning their attention to the company to see if they were

:05:58. > :06:03.negligent. It revolves around quite complicated advice to the Foreign

:06:04. > :06:06.Office. They do three levels, read meaning don't go there and Amber

:06:07. > :06:11.meaning of it is essential and green, look up the advice. The tour

:06:12. > :06:14.company didn't tell people to walk up the advice and the advice would

:06:15. > :06:21.have said there is a high level of activity. But to be fair, the

:06:22. > :06:25.company did say it was in the literature but it was on leave is a

:06:26. > :06:29.page of all the confirmation notes that were given to all of the

:06:30. > :06:39.travellers and you don't need a visa for Tunisia! It is horrific, the

:06:40. > :06:43.Guardian front page has the photographs of 30 victims and that

:06:44. > :06:48.is a striking way of bringing home that these are not numbers but

:06:49. > :06:52.people, loved ones whose lives have been devastated, and we always have

:06:53. > :06:56.to remember that human side of it. The difficulty also with that

:06:57. > :07:01.although I absolutely agree that the coroner has done a splendid job, he

:07:02. > :07:05.was very stark and some of the things he is saying, we have to be

:07:06. > :07:08.careful that we haven't County Council determines to blame the

:07:09. > :07:13.police and Tunisia and the tour company that might have provided

:07:14. > :07:17.better advice, we mustn't forget that actually the person responsible

:07:18. > :07:22.was the terrorist, who was himself shot at the end of it. The question

:07:23. > :07:25.is whether others could have done more but the real blame lies with

:07:26. > :07:34.the terrorists and those who radicalise them. Tourism now down

:07:35. > :07:42.95%. Let's go to the Telegraph. Children aged four to learn the

:07:43. > :07:46.perils of the intranet. And this is the sort of story I think will make

:07:47. > :07:49.difficult because you want your difficult because you want your

:07:50. > :07:55.children to be protected and have proper advice. The actual meat of

:07:56. > :07:58.the story is about saying that every school in the country, whether local

:07:59. > :08:05.authority or free school or whatever, will be required,

:08:06. > :08:10.certainly at secondary level to have proper sexual education and teach

:08:11. > :08:13.children about relationships. That I think is uncontroversial, but the

:08:14. > :08:17.difficulty is some parents will be uncomfortable about the idea of

:08:18. > :08:24.children as young as four black being taught anything about sex. On

:08:25. > :08:28.the other hand the headline captures that children that young and younger

:08:29. > :08:32.are going to come across stuff which is often very worrying and confusing

:08:33. > :08:36.to them and they need to have somewhere to turn, so it is not easy

:08:37. > :08:40.and those who say that on the one hand children that young should be

:08:41. > :08:45.kept away from sex education, but equally those who want to expose the

:08:46. > :08:50.genuinely childlike and innocent do things that they don't need to see,

:08:51. > :08:56.that would be wrong as well. We have to find a way through the middle.

:08:57. > :08:59.There has to be a holistic approach. It has to be everybody's

:09:00. > :09:09.responsibility, not just at home and the parents but the school as well.

:09:10. > :09:15.Children spent two thirds of their time at school so as a result those

:09:16. > :09:18.institutions have a duty of care. The form of the headline slickly

:09:19. > :09:24.dramatic but there was a time that the question was do you learn from

:09:25. > :09:29.teacher or parent, but the answered is no invariably from the web. And

:09:30. > :09:35.there is a graduated response, sex education is only compulsory in

:09:36. > :09:40.locally run schools so this is now broadened it out. If you're talking

:09:41. > :09:45.about the perils of relationships and aggressive relationships and

:09:46. > :09:49.what does consent mean, if you talk about the whole are of things we

:09:50. > :09:54.have become so aware of and worried about then this is surely a very

:09:55. > :09:57.creative and sensible way of going about it. But controversial and I am

:09:58. > :10:05.sure the story will run. Staying with the Telegraph, I am turning

:10:06. > :10:07.straight to you on this. Douglas Carswell in talks to rejoin the

:10:08. > :10:14.Conservatives, would you like him back? That would be over the dead

:10:15. > :10:23.body of quite a lot of people. An extra notch on the majority? To be

:10:24. > :10:28.clear, it is no surprise to you I supported leaving in the referendum

:10:29. > :10:31.and I thought Ukip were more responsible than anybody of turfing

:10:32. > :10:35.me out of Parliament and I think Nigel Farage deserves to get a

:10:36. > :10:40.peerage and 4 million voters should be represented better than they are,

:10:41. > :10:45.but if you defect from one party to another I don't think you have the

:10:46. > :10:48.right to defect back. The only one I can think of as Winston Churchill

:10:49. > :10:54.and Douglas Carswell is no Winston Churchill. Despite that's staggering

:10:55. > :11:00.thing from term advising Nigel Farage should be made a peer,

:11:01. > :11:07.Douglas Carswell couldn't get him a knighthood. He thinks Nigel Farage

:11:08. > :11:10.is a bit of a joke and is worth only an MBE, meanwhile Aaron Banks says

:11:11. > :11:14.he is going to take on Douglas Carswell on his own constituency and

:11:15. > :11:20.force out. Nigel Farage of attacking the current leader, Paul Nuttall,

:11:21. > :11:28.and Paul Nuttall, he has gone missing. My favourite line in this

:11:29. > :11:32.story that continues inside is that Ukip have contemplated taking leave

:11:33. > :11:35.whip away from Douglas Carswell but they can't do that because it would

:11:36. > :11:44.require the vote of the parliamentary party and he is! Ukip,

:11:45. > :11:47.they are quite frankly, in achieving their name, the most successful

:11:48. > :11:55.political party in this country at the moment. They add in complete

:11:56. > :11:59.disarray. And yet, if we believe the opinion polls it has made next to no

:12:00. > :12:03.difference to their support whereas Tory and Labour support has gone up

:12:04. > :12:09.and Ukip supporters at the same level. There are 3-4,000,000 people

:12:10. > :12:13.who still think Ukip is closer to them than anybody else. This is the

:12:14. > :12:16.sort of calibre of some of the people who have got as to the edge

:12:17. > :12:24.of the ruinous Brexit we're about to enter. Anybody would have thought

:12:25. > :12:33.this was planned. Just as well be about to go onto a story. I want to

:12:34. > :12:36.start with Paul on this. Dyson challenges tech giants with huge

:12:37. > :12:48.investment in Britain. She supported it. Sir James Dyson, to you. He is

:12:49. > :12:52.investing in this country and saying Brexit will be our success and it is

:12:53. > :13:01.dodgy lefties like you who want to knock it over! We will forgive him

:13:02. > :13:07.the tautology, well done. The balance of BBC presenting has been

:13:08. > :13:13.tipped over the edge. Lots and lots of movements going down, so any

:13:14. > :13:18.inward investment is judged a triumph, and any? That stands

:13:19. > :13:22.dubious, so what we have had in the last few days is the possibility of

:13:23. > :13:29.the Many going to Germany and question marks over Nissan

:13:30. > :13:34.investment and mixed messages from HSBC, and the warnings from

:13:35. > :13:41.investment companies and insurance companies over Brexit itself. We're

:13:42. > :13:49.in a very perilous situation. The story, Dyson is investing in

:13:50. > :14:00.Britain. Billions of pounds. Facebook is invested, Apple. The tax

:14:01. > :14:03.revenues we get from them will be... Given they have created thousands of

:14:04. > :14:11.jobs all those people will be paying taxes. Some may be even enough to

:14:12. > :14:18.buy the Guardian! Given away free now? This is an investment but Paul

:14:19. > :14:26.points out that dodgy right-wingers like you... Got the balance! They

:14:27. > :14:30.are just a little bit too sunny. We heard John Major point out that the

:14:31. > :14:36.truth needs to be told. First of all I am delighted having spent 20 years

:14:37. > :14:40.in the Conservative Party where we were accused of doom and gloom, I am

:14:41. > :14:44.glad people think the right is sunny and cheerful and talking about how

:14:45. > :14:50.wonderful the world those. I am an optimist and I think the world will

:14:51. > :14:54.get back. During the referendum campaign last year, we can all agree

:14:55. > :14:59.there were some fairly large porky pies told by people on both sides.

:15:00. > :15:03.One person who clearly told the truth all the way through was James

:15:04. > :15:07.Dyson and I looked him up two weeks before the referendum and he said he

:15:08. > :15:15.voted for Brexit jobs and would come, and he has done his bit.

:15:16. > :15:25.Talking about porky pies, to the express and Donald Trump gets

:15:26. > :15:30.himself a C for communication. The fact judges have thrown at his

:15:31. > :15:34.executive orders is nothing to do with being unconstitutional but it's

:15:35. > :15:40.because he didn't sell it properly. That is one way of looking at it! I

:15:41. > :15:45.am thinking he could slide 20 letters in the alphabet. I wonder

:15:46. > :15:50.what he gets himself in diplomacy, diversity. Foreign aid,

:15:51. > :16:05.environmental programmes, the list is getting longer, but the A for

:16:06. > :16:10.effort, it is his self-analysis. So he just needs to tune up the

:16:11. > :16:23.messaging, he should talk to you. He probably is! A first services to

:16:24. > :16:28.twitter. Barack Obama's memoirs, he is selling them for 60 million quid.

:16:29. > :16:35.Someone in London must be looking at that money and feeling very sick.

:16:36. > :16:42.David Cameron! He didn't quite get the millions he was looking for. He

:16:43. > :16:47.is a bestselling author anyway. We will have to lend it there. Many

:16:48. > :16:50.thanks for that. That is that from the Papers, thanks for watching and

:16:51. > :16:57.you can see the front pages online on the BBC News website. Seven days

:16:58. > :17:03.a week. If you mist the programme any evening you can watch it on BBC

:17:04. > :17:15.I player. Thanks for coming in and still you are watching.

:17:16. > :17:21.We are about to head into March so time to look back at February may

:17:22. > :17:23.not come as too much of a surprise that February was warmer than

:17:24. > :17:24.average as confirmed
