:00:00. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:10. > :00:14.With me are Ben Chu Economics and Business Editor

:00:15. > :00:16.at The Independent and Dave Wooding, Political Editor

:00:17. > :00:22.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with.

:00:23. > :00:26.The Metro leads with what it calls a car crash interview - where Jeremy

:00:27. > :00:35.Corbyn stumbled over the cost of Labour's free childcare plans in an

:00:36. > :00:37.Telegraph says it has seen leaked Telegraph says it has seen leaked

:00:38. > :00:39.documents showing a Labour plan to allow thousands of unskilled

:00:40. > :00:46.migrants to enter the UK after Brexit. The same story is in the

:00:47. > :00:48.Mail adding that proposals also include axing rules which limit

:00:49. > :00:56.foreign spouses living here unless they can show they will not be a

:00:57. > :00:57.'burden' on the taxpayer. The Guardian focuses on Theresa May

:00:58. > :01:00.saying Jeremy Corbyn's policies would leave him "alone and naked''

:01:01. > :01:02.in the negotiating chamber of the EU, they call it her strongest

:01:03. > :01:11.personal attack on the labour leader. The Times refers to a YouGov

:01:12. > :01:14.poll suggesting the Conservatives could be in line to lose 20 seats

:01:15. > :01:22.and Labour gain nearly 30 in next week's election. The Daily Star's

:01:23. > :01:25.top story is the American pop star Ariana Grande returning to the UK on

:01:26. > :01:28.Sunday, for a benefit concert for the victims of the Manchester Arena

:01:29. > :01:40.attack - the line up includes Justin Bieber, Coldplay and Take That. And

:01:41. > :01:43.one of the stories on the Financial Times is a plan by London Mayor

:01:44. > :01:45.Sadiq Khan and Transport For London for people to be able to use their

:01:46. > :01:57.phones on the tube. Not sure if we welcome that, we'll

:01:58. > :02:02.discuss that a bit later on. First of all, I'm sorry I haven't a clue

:02:03. > :02:07.is the Metro's headline over the interview with Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:08. > :02:11.Stumbling a little in his woman's hour interview. There have been so

:02:12. > :02:13.many car conditions of use during the general election and I'm

:02:14. > :02:20.thinking of going into the motor repair business. We had Diane Abbott

:02:21. > :02:26.with two pranks, she's probably right about this stage and Jeremy

:02:27. > :02:31.Corbyn has this absolute pilot today were he was being interviewed on

:02:32. > :02:36.woman's hour on BBC radio whereby Emma Barnett he asks him the price,

:02:37. > :02:42.the cost of his childcare policy which is about ?5 billion, even I

:02:43. > :02:48.need that. He was bearing and the pauses were excruciating. He has

:02:49. > :02:52.apologised but he should know the sort of stuff, it is a minor detail

:02:53. > :02:57.in yet again it calls into question whether he is a competent enough and

:02:58. > :03:02.B has the financial knowledge to deliver. Labour supporters have

:03:03. > :03:08.reacted on Twitter and elsewhere saying at least the proposals the

:03:09. > :03:12.party has costed and saying the Tory proposal and costed. Which is a fair

:03:13. > :03:17.point. The Conservatives had no numbers in their manifesto tall and

:03:18. > :03:21.Labour had this detailed list of how it will be paid for but it does you

:03:22. > :03:25.no good unless you remember the numbers when it comes to the natural

:03:26. > :03:30.follow-up where people ask about individual policies. It's pretty sad

:03:31. > :03:34.really because he did pretty well last night on the debate, he came

:03:35. > :03:38.across competence, knowing his staff, you could disagree with him

:03:39. > :03:41.but he was a far cry from the stereotype of a guy who knows

:03:42. > :03:46.nothing and crash lands as David sets today in vicinity. It is like a

:03:47. > :03:50.scene out of the thick of it and you think why not have a little back of

:03:51. > :03:55.an envelope, a couple of schools with the numbers. The thing now is

:03:56. > :03:58.the modern world of media, where you just hear it on the wireless, now

:03:59. > :04:02.that our video cameras in the background and the whole thing has

:04:03. > :04:06.gone up on websites where you can see him fiddling around, getting his

:04:07. > :04:11.iPad out and looking flustered. The interesting thing between the two

:04:12. > :04:16.leaders, Jeremy Corbyn is coming through style and substance, not on

:04:17. > :04:20.top of the figures and details and not on top of his brief but also he

:04:21. > :04:27.is coming over as warm and friendly and it's looking like Avon killer

:04:28. > :04:30.figure and is likeable to people watching him where Theresa May who

:04:31. > :04:36.is in trouble for the figures is coming through as cold and lacking

:04:37. > :04:40.any warmth. Which leads to the times, we've learnt not to believe

:04:41. > :04:46.the opinion polls that anyway let's talk about them. Shock poll predicts

:04:47. > :04:51.Tory losses as the times. A controversial Yugo polkas Mike shock

:04:52. > :04:57.is a massive understatement, if we got a result like this it would be

:04:58. > :05:04.needing new superlatives to describe it. The idea the Conservatives

:05:05. > :05:08.called the selection expecting a landslide victory really, to then

:05:09. > :05:11.lose seats and lose control of Commons, these numbers suggest that

:05:12. > :05:16.Labour would be just about in a position to form a coalition with

:05:17. > :05:20.the Liberal Democrats and the SNP's whose coalition of chaos Theresa May

:05:21. > :05:23.told us about would be a reality of these numbers were borne out. I

:05:24. > :05:31.think it's interesting reading the waiters written, the story itself,

:05:32. > :05:37.take it with a pinch of salt, this is not a normal poll where they ring

:05:38. > :05:40.over 2000 people engage a result, this is a bottom-up exercise, they

:05:41. > :05:47.don't do them often so you can't really calibrate numbers well. Yes

:05:48. > :05:59.absolute shock and horror. There is a lot of small print here. What they

:06:00. > :06:02.haven't done as you've seen is not an overarching poll, they will

:06:03. > :06:04.attack constituencies to see how it is slightly different areas where

:06:05. > :06:11.there are different voting trends say yes, if this happened it might

:06:12. > :06:17.be Jeremy Corbyn. Is there anything less than a landslide a defeat for

:06:18. > :06:22.Theresa May? You're getting a lot of expectations, the regular polls did

:06:23. > :06:26.close quite a bit in their chance to work out what was causing that but

:06:27. > :06:31.you do as David will know, you get a lot of spin saying well, this is

:06:32. > :06:35.perhaps good for the Conservatives because it focus peoples minds on

:06:36. > :06:39.the needs and not to be complacent and also talking about what sides a

:06:40. > :06:44.majority would be success and what of failure. I think just remember

:06:45. > :06:52.where we are when Theresa May called this. More than 50 I would say

:06:53. > :06:58.majority would be considered a failure to damage her prestige. The

:06:59. > :07:03.Telegraph got interesting story about a secret plan for Labour to

:07:04. > :07:10.increased migration. This is all about allowing unskilled workers to

:07:11. > :07:14.come into Britain. Now interviewers of all different TV stations have

:07:15. > :07:18.had a go at Jeremy on this and try to pin him down on whether he would

:07:19. > :07:22.cut immigration or not. All he has ever said as it might come down a

:07:23. > :07:26.little, it might come down a little and of course the Conservatives are

:07:27. > :07:29.talking about bringing it down to tens of thousands. That's a third

:07:30. > :07:35.time they promised that of course but now it is about 260,000 a year

:07:36. > :07:43.net migration. What seems to be said that there was a phrase used, the

:07:44. > :07:48.barista visas, to get people to come here and do coffee shops, the other

:07:49. > :07:55.side of this, the unskilled workers who a lot of Britons were concerned

:07:56. > :07:58.about who voted Brexit in the first place because low paid jobs were

:07:59. > :08:02.being undercut in wages so that would be something that would anger

:08:03. > :08:13.a lot of people in the working classes. And the eye to Lee Mack I

:08:14. > :08:16.say it would damage a... He found on the campaign trail and got this

:08:17. > :08:21.comment out of it but they are interesting because the NHS is

:08:22. > :08:27.expected to be Labour's big strong suit and a line to the report is you

:08:28. > :08:32.need us the Conservatives because otherwise you have an economic crash

:08:33. > :08:35.with labour which means we won't be able to give the resources to the

:08:36. > :08:40.NHS that it needs to deal with the various pressures on it which are

:08:41. > :08:44.large and extreme at the moment so it's effectively trying to do a

:08:45. > :08:47.political jujitsu saying if you care about the NHS you should vote

:08:48. > :08:53.Conservatives because only we will be to run the economy well. I don't

:08:54. > :08:59.know if it will work but it is a good line I suppose, an interesting

:09:00. > :09:03.one. He stayed clear of mentioning that ?350 million a week which is

:09:04. > :09:07.going to go into the NHS since Brexit. Let's move away from the

:09:08. > :09:17.election for a minute. The star companies that Arianna Grande is

:09:18. > :09:19.coming back to a benefit concert in Manchester as well as other

:09:20. > :09:30.superstars to raise funds for victims. A great tribute to people

:09:31. > :09:34.who died and were injured, it shows that we will carry on with our

:09:35. > :09:37.lives, you will not stop us from having concerts. Manchester will

:09:38. > :09:42.obviously be a very safe place now in the wake of what happened. If you

:09:43. > :09:48.people have suggested it might be too early for some victims still

:09:49. > :09:51.being in hospital and so on. Yes but I think that the city is getting

:09:52. > :09:55.over and trying to pull itself back together again and I think this is

:09:56. > :09:59.in fact the phrase being used together for Manchester, perhaps it

:10:00. > :10:04.is showing we are getting on with our lives and it will help the city

:10:05. > :10:09.to heal itself. There is or was a trade-off in these things, too late

:10:10. > :10:14.and it loses the moral and power of it as a statement as David says,

:10:15. > :10:18.getting back to normal and being a powerful tribute so soon after the

:10:19. > :10:23.events. I think it's interesting that Arianna Grande is fronting it

:10:24. > :10:26.because it must've been very traumatic and catastrophic, people

:10:27. > :10:31.coming to your gig to lose their lives in that way. Broken is what

:10:32. > :10:34.she tweeted the day after. A credit to her to say I will do this and

:10:35. > :10:37.come back because she cancelled the rest of her tour on the back of it

:10:38. > :10:45.and now she's putting it back together for this amazing thing. It

:10:46. > :10:51.is quite a line-up? It is a dream. Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Justin

:10:52. > :10:56.Bieber, it is going to have big figures I imagine. Let's go on to

:10:57. > :11:01.the Financial Times and they have a story about the underground and we

:11:02. > :11:08.will all be listening to other people on the phones which sounds to

:11:09. > :11:13.me like a nightmare. We've heard I'm on the train, we will now hear I'm

:11:14. > :11:19.on the shoot, I'm the Jubilee line because Siddique Khan the Mayor of

:11:20. > :11:23.London is working on a plan to bring the mobile phone coverage down

:11:24. > :11:30.underneath the capital. It will be quite handy, if only people will use

:11:31. > :11:36.it to send texts. If there will be people talking,... I must say on a

:11:37. > :11:41.train I had for the silent carriage. I've been on the Hong Kong Metro

:11:42. > :11:44.people can talk on their mobiles and it is horrific because people shut

:11:45. > :11:50.down them and it is a place where you used to be go and get away from

:11:51. > :11:56.that mobile phone Bert it has been violated now so I will be in favour

:11:57. > :12:02.of texting only if you can use it. It is quite nice on the cheer that

:12:03. > :12:06.it is quiet. It is but it is quite noisy inasmuch as you can hear the

:12:07. > :12:11.rails and the engine... You can't complain about that. But if you have

:12:12. > :12:19.people shouting on top of that it'll get to be quite noisy. Riot last

:12:20. > :12:25.story is in the Guardian, is 80 350 because they are saying really which

:12:26. > :12:29.is the people calling old people old auctions at using the word unless

:12:30. > :12:34.people are really very very old, it is that the way you can sum up this

:12:35. > :12:40.story? 50 years since Sergeant Pepper came out and when I'm 64, it

:12:41. > :12:43.does seem crazy that that is the totemic age of oldness and see now

:12:44. > :12:47.that he now, no one is older than they are 64 really. So it makes

:12:48. > :12:51.sense it is pushed back, I don't know if it makes sense to call

:12:52. > :12:55.people 80 not old or active adults, I don't know if we are quite there

:12:56. > :13:00.yet that certainly people in the late 60s, what this guy is saying,

:13:01. > :13:05.sorry Sarah Harper whose gerontologist which is a nice job to

:13:06. > :13:08.have but what she is saying make sense of perspective. The other

:13:09. > :13:18.interesting figure in here then is that in the 18th century there were

:13:19. > :13:23.only ten centenarians in the UK. Sorry in Europe and other 14,000

:13:24. > :13:27.500. In the United Kingdom alone and by the end of the century they

:13:28. > :13:30.predict there will be 1.5 million centenarians in this country so it

:13:31. > :13:36.just shows how we are looking, it is adding two years to the life span

:13:37. > :13:41.every decade. We are definitely an ageing population. Does this say at

:13:42. > :13:47.what stage you should call someone told all is it's your only old if

:13:48. > :13:50.you are infirm. In firm, close to death, dependent on other people for

:13:51. > :13:55.everything so essentially it is saying known as old and so it is

:13:56. > :14:02.close to the end. The fourth age of Mannus said. You could be 95 and not

:14:03. > :14:08.be old? The implications who are not audit which is a revolution. So none

:14:09. > :14:12.of us are old. I'm looking forward to getting my active adult Railcard.

:14:13. > :14:18.And getting on the tube with your mobile phone. Thank you Ben and

:14:19. > :14:22.David for being with us. That is it for the papers are sour and we will

:14:23. > :14:26.be back just after 1130 with another look at the papers.
