:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:21.With me are Jack Blanchard, political editor at the Daily Mirror
:00:22. > :00:27.and broadcaster Julia Hartley-Brewer.
:00:28. > :00:29.The Daily Telegraph reports that Scotland First Minister Nicola
:00:30. > :00:31.Sturgeon is already planning to abandon the SNP's policy
:00:32. > :00:40.of rejoining the EU immediately after a vote for independence.
:00:41. > :00:43.Referendum matters also lead in the Times -
:00:44. > :00:45.which has conducted a poll which the paper says shows
:00:46. > :00:49.the majority of Scots want to stay in the UK.
:00:50. > :00:52.The European Court of Justice ruling that companies in the EU can ban
:00:53. > :00:54.staff from wearing visible religious or political symbols
:00:55. > :01:01.The resignation of Charlotte Hogg - the new deputy governor
:01:02. > :01:03.at the Bank of England - is the main headline
:01:04. > :01:05.in the Financial times, which reports that her departure
:01:06. > :01:12.strikes a blow for gender equality at the bank.
:01:13. > :01:15.The Daily Mail leads on MPs concerns and criticism of social media
:01:16. > :01:17.content providers like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for failing
:01:18. > :01:28.to tackle online hate crime, terrorism and child abuse.
:01:29. > :01:33.The Sun leads on the Royals, reporting has been criticism over
:01:34. > :01:36.the Duke of Cambridge for missing the Commonwealth Day service at
:01:37. > :01:40.Westminster Abbey yesterday and reports that he performs fewer royal
:01:41. > :01:48.duties than the Queen. Let's begin. We are starting with
:01:49. > :01:53.The Times. Who would like to begin with the Scots wanting to remain in
:01:54. > :01:57.the UK, according to a new poll? We are seeing quite a big backlash
:01:58. > :02:02.against Nicola Sturgeon's call for a new referendum. Several front pages
:02:03. > :02:07.are pushing back at her. The most significant one is in the The Times,
:02:08. > :02:15.during the first poll of Scottish voters and it is not good news for
:02:16. > :02:19.her. She is 14 points behind getting a Yes vote in a new referendum,
:02:20. > :02:22.according to latest survey. This is not a foregone conclusion. If you
:02:23. > :02:26.read the immediate response when she made the speech, it was almost as if
:02:27. > :02:32.that is it, Scotland has gone. In fact, she still has a big hurdle.
:02:33. > :02:37.There the usual caveats for polls and a long way out from a
:02:38. > :02:43.referendum? They started out a long way behind before the last
:02:44. > :02:47.referendum. It is only if you exclude the don't know's. A lot of
:02:48. > :02:51.them to make their minds up and it is all to play for. The reality is
:02:52. > :02:58.that everybody I have spoken to since this was announced says that
:02:59. > :03:05.there will be a referendum, it will not be the dates she wants, but one
:03:06. > :03:09.thing people will not commit on is whether or not she will win it. It
:03:10. > :03:13.is a game of brinkmanship between Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon. It
:03:14. > :03:17.is awesome to watch, a fantastic soap opera. The permutations are
:03:18. > :03:24.fascinating, with the EU factored into this one? Let's go on to the
:03:25. > :03:28.Daily Telegraph, the headline there, Sturgeon abandons bid to stay in the
:03:29. > :03:34.EU. Take us through the detail of this. This is about the fact that
:03:35. > :03:38.the whole point of this, the entire material change of circumstance that
:03:39. > :03:42.was in the Scottish National Party manifesto is leaving the EU, the UK
:03:43. > :03:46.is leaving and they want to stay in. But apparently, according to
:03:47. > :03:51.sources, she is abandoning this bed because she thinks actually, I think
:03:52. > :03:57.about one in four independence voters in 2014, they voted for
:03:58. > :04:00.leaving the EU. There is a risk of 400,000 supporters saying, hold on,
:04:01. > :04:04.we wanted to leave the EU. A compromise position, joining the
:04:05. > :04:09.European free trade Association, the one that Iceland is a member of, and
:04:10. > :04:13.Norway, access to the single market, free movement of goods, services and
:04:14. > :04:20.people, that would be the middle ground. That would not involve
:04:21. > :04:24.waiting for years to apply to join. Has not been confirmed yet by the
:04:25. > :04:30.SNP, it is a story the Telegraph are running. They haven't said anything
:04:31. > :04:34.so far. What is interesting is that it shows the Brexit split that
:04:35. > :04:37.corporate and down the middle also applies in Scotland. There is a
:04:38. > :04:41.vague idea that everybody in Scotland loves the EU and that is
:04:42. > :04:46.it. That is not the case. If Nicola Sturgeon is going to win the second
:04:47. > :04:53.referendum, she needs every boat you can get. She has her own balancing
:04:54. > :04:56.act. Same with Theresa May, she has two please the Scots, but she risks
:04:57. > :05:01.angering the English roaders, and there are more of them than Scottish
:05:02. > :05:06.voters. Interesting looking at the tone of that. Something else, away
:05:07. > :05:18.from Brexit and the independence referendum in Scotland, onto the
:05:19. > :05:23.Metro, bosses can ban burqas. They have ruled that bosses across Europe
:05:24. > :05:30.are allowed to ban religious were in the place of work, as long as it is
:05:31. > :05:34.not specific to one religion. This is a very divisive issue. A lot of
:05:35. > :05:37.groups like Amnesty International, they are very upset with the ruling
:05:38. > :05:46.because they think it fuels people's bigotry, in effect, but on the other
:05:47. > :05:54.hand a lot of people will say it is up to employers. Will a lot of
:05:55. > :06:00.businesses choose to ignore this? It is not binding, they are just giving
:06:01. > :06:04.advice. This is the thing, it is not just about banning the burqa, it is
:06:05. > :06:09.only in an office and they would have to have a specific reason, like
:06:10. > :06:16.you are working in a hospital, you cannot have jewellery, it could not
:06:17. > :06:21.be that customers might not like you wearing it. It is bizarre we make
:06:22. > :06:31.this a liberty issue. Countries like Turkey, mainly Muslim, it is
:06:32. > :06:35.actually banned, wearing even the he -- hijab in public places. In Iran
:06:36. > :06:41.and Saudi Arabia you are basically flogged if you don't where it. In
:06:42. > :06:46.Indonesia, at least half of women there did not wear a headscarf. When
:06:47. > :06:49.we say it is freedom of expressing your religion, there are still a lot
:06:50. > :06:52.of debate amongst Islamic scholars about if there is a requirement to
:06:53. > :06:58.wear it. There is no requirement to wear a Christian cross. It is across
:06:59. > :07:00.the board. I don't think there is any need for people to bring
:07:01. > :07:07.religion into the workplace unless it is relevant to work. If they want
:07:08. > :07:11.to, why not? Who cares? Why do you need to? I don't need to do
:07:12. > :07:15.anything. If somebody wanted to bring in... I'm not saying it is the
:07:16. > :07:18.same thing, but wanting to wear a T-shirt that was highly political,
:07:19. > :07:25.people might say, I'm not happy about that. In football, we often
:07:26. > :07:29.people to wear a uniform in the workplace, I think it is reasonable
:07:30. > :07:35.for bosses to do that. What one person thinks as a neutral thing, or
:07:36. > :07:42.a religious symbol or not, that can vary. You are not allowed to wear a
:07:43. > :07:47.lot of religious symbols in France, in many public places. Employment,
:07:48. > :07:51.schools, universities. The Financial Times, this is about the exit of
:07:52. > :07:56.Charlotte Hogg, the Bank of England new deputy governor. She has not
:07:57. > :08:05.been on the role very long, she has resigned. Remind the viewer 's wife.
:08:06. > :08:12.Because she forgot to tell... -- remind the viewer 's why.
:08:13. > :08:17.Unfortunately her job involves writing the rules which say you have
:08:18. > :08:20.to disclose these things. It's quite important if you are going to be the
:08:21. > :08:27.person that rights and enforces these rules. It is also the fact she
:08:28. > :08:32.wrote these rules. The idea that it is a big secret, she is the daughter
:08:33. > :08:39.of an aristocrat dig former Tory. She is the granddaughter of Lord
:08:40. > :08:42.Chancellor 's. Her mother was involved in politics and is a life
:08:43. > :08:48.peer. The odds they did not check her Wikipedia page or check her
:08:49. > :08:53.family entries and know what her brother was, I find that unlikely.
:08:54. > :08:56.One would imagine it is a bizarre oversight, she assumed it was such
:08:57. > :09:01.common knowledge that everybody knew that her brother worked for
:09:02. > :09:06.Barclays, that she forgot to make a note of it. But if you write the
:09:07. > :09:11.rules... George Osborne used to work for her father. Posh people all know
:09:12. > :09:16.each other, in case anybody wonders. They were all that university
:09:17. > :09:20.together. He was asked if it was about sexism. There has been a
:09:21. > :09:29.debate, well, we have lost a female governor of the Bank of England,
:09:30. > :09:32.lack of diversity. This is a white, aristocrat Oxford educated girl, I
:09:33. > :09:38.am not sure she represents a full diverse range of people in the
:09:39. > :09:43.country. The Financial Times has a photograph of two golfers,
:09:44. > :09:49.holiday-makers on the 18th hole. Muirfield is admitting women. Women
:09:50. > :09:51.of the world rejoice, you can't play golf at this ludicrous old golf
:09:52. > :09:55.course in Scotland that has been banning them for however many
:09:56. > :09:59.hundred years. As if we are supposed to be impressed they have finally
:10:00. > :10:04.dragged themselves into the 20th century up there. Who would even
:10:05. > :10:09.want to go there? I don't want to play golf, not at all. But if you
:10:10. > :10:14.did, you would think... They were not allowed to host the open, if a
:10:15. > :10:17.club said they were not open to black people, you would not be
:10:18. > :10:21.allowed to host it, that is their choice. As a feminist, as I get
:10:22. > :10:26.older, I think I don't care about these things. If you want to sit and
:10:27. > :10:30.drink gin and tonic at the 19th hole and moan about your wife, I am not
:10:31. > :10:34.bothered. They were dropped from the list last year, this year, look,
:10:35. > :10:43.they have changed their mind. I think money might have spoken.
:10:44. > :10:47.Dragged kicking and screaming? Maybe that is not fair, but clearly there
:10:48. > :10:51.has been huge pressure. The amount of money they would have got from
:10:52. > :10:58.hosting the Open, suddenly they're serious ethos about being men only
:10:59. > :11:01.has gone. Left me shuffle back to the front page of the Telegraph. An
:11:02. > :11:06.interesting one. A lot of people will talk about this. End of the
:11:07. > :11:10.line for first class? We are talking about first-class carriages on busy
:11:11. > :11:14.trains. We have all been there without a seat and the first-class
:11:15. > :11:20.carriage is virtually empty? The Telegraph found that during
:11:21. > :11:24.rush-hour, these trains, absolutely everybody is in each other's armpits
:11:25. > :11:29.for hours, half of the first-class seats are empty. Nothing more
:11:30. > :11:33.infuriating. You walk down, going past empty carriages in first class,
:11:34. > :11:36.you get to cattle class at the back, everybody is crammed and it is
:11:37. > :11:39.ridiculous. You know they are charging hundreds of pounds for
:11:40. > :11:45.seats that nobody can afford to sit in. It was a great idea, why do
:11:46. > :11:49.people need a slightly bigger armchair? If somebody else is
:11:50. > :11:57.paying, they are lovely! Yes, your expenses! Less than a fifth of them
:11:58. > :12:04.were full or nearly full, some had only three four people in a carriage
:12:05. > :12:11.of 48 seats. This is what people are paying for. All of the seats are
:12:12. > :12:15.full, the people are very cross. It is just on very crowded commuter
:12:16. > :12:19.trains, on smaller trains they are the same seats anyway. An
:12:20. > :12:24.interesting one, lots of people will be watching that. Thank you very
:12:25. > :12:25.much indeed. But is it for The Papers. You can see the front pages
:12:26. > :12:28.online on the BBC News website. It's all there for you - seven days
:12:29. > :12:30.a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. And if you miss the programme,
:12:31. > :12:33.any evening you can watch it Thank you Jack Blanchard
:12:34. > :12:54.and Julia Hartley-Brewer. Hello, that big snowstorm in the
:12:55. > :12:55.north-east of the USA will still be around in parts of New England,
