0:00:20 > 0:00:23Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

0:00:23 > 0:00:24bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:24 > 0:00:34With me is the political commentator Daisy McAndrew

0:00:35 > 0:00:39and Chief Political Correspondent at the Daily Telegraph,

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Christopher Hope.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47The Guardian's main story

0:00:47 > 0:00:51is the backlash following the equal pay report at the BBC in which it

0:00:51 > 0:00:54said there was no evidence of "gender bias" in pay decisions

0:00:54 > 0:00:55by the corporation.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57The Metro also has the same story,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59saying female staff have accused bosses of a whitewash

0:00:59 > 0:01:01after the report found only a 6.8% discrepancy on average earnings

0:01:02 > 0:01:03between men and women.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04The Times writes that housing developers face losing

0:01:04 > 0:01:07the right to build on land if they fail to hit construction

0:01:07 > 0:01:12targets, under new Government plans.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Telegraph leads with comments

0:01:14 > 0:01:16by the Government's former chief scientist that German

0:01:16 > 0:01:17car manufacturers have 'blood' on their hands

0:01:17 > 0:01:18following the emissions scandal.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21The paper also has a photo of the Duchess of Cambridge

0:01:21 > 0:01:29on her royal tour with Prince William to Sweden.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32The Financial Times says Amazon is to enter into the US

0:01:32 > 0:01:34health care market which could, the paper says, reduce costs

0:01:34 > 0:01:35for "all Americans."

0:01:35 > 0:01:38The paper also headlines that the UK has hit its cap on skilled visas

0:01:38 > 0:01:42for non-EU workers for two months in a row, for the first time.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45And The Mirror quotes a new report which says thousands

0:01:45 > 0:01:47of cancer patients die in Britain due to a lack of funding,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50with some of the worst survival rates than five

0:01:50 > 0:02:00of the EU's largest nations.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06Cracking on with the metro, take us to the farce and the furious.This

0:02:06 > 0:02:11is about the BBC's gender pay report, you won't be surprised, many

0:02:11 > 0:02:16are saying, in particular female presenters, are saying it was a

0:02:16 > 0:02:22whitewash, that it is not fully transparent, they say that PwC he

0:02:22 > 0:02:30did the report have simply handed over the report that the BBC wanted.

0:02:30 > 0:02:39This is about women not pay the same as men, it looks navel-gazing from

0:02:39 > 0:02:50the outside looking in. Every BBC Billiton has been leading with this

0:02:50 > 0:02:54story, which... It does feel a bit awkward, it feels we are airing the

0:02:54 > 0:03:04dirty linen in public. Also the BBC saying there is no market in news

0:03:04 > 0:03:08where there is a market in entertainment and that is why people

0:03:08 > 0:03:12like Chris Evans are on millions compared to others, but that is not

0:03:12 > 0:03:16true, there is a market in news, a large market between the different

0:03:16 > 0:03:23broadcaster.But it is less now than it was, is the argument. Few options

0:03:23 > 0:03:26for television news...There is always a market, this is about a

0:03:26 > 0:03:33report showing 7% difference between men and women, and it is a bit of

0:03:33 > 0:03:42navel-gazing. Lots of news provisions, BBC as a rival, so it is

0:03:42 > 0:03:46a bit of a punchbag. People care about the BBC as well, the BBC

0:03:46 > 0:03:58matters. So, it is something of a totem. The BBC loves to have a

0:03:58 > 0:04:02crisis, every three years, this place goes into firm and, when this

0:04:02 > 0:04:07happens, you have interviewers who are badgering their bosses for more

0:04:07 > 0:04:09pay, interviewing bosses on air about wanting more pay! It is

0:04:09 > 0:04:21bonkers. Collective nervous breakdown.Appearance by the bigwigs

0:04:21 > 0:04:30and by Carrie Gracie, the journalist who sparked this off in some ways.

0:04:30 > 0:04:38The only thing I would question, every three years?There was a

0:04:38 > 0:04:51backlash, the pay review found there was no gender bias, according

0:04:54 > 0:04:57to PwC, men paid well before 2010 are now doing better in proportion

0:04:57 > 0:05:05to younger women. That's why they are giving these pay rises to 200

0:05:05 > 0:05:14people, of whom the majority are... Men!The second tranche of pay, only

0:05:14 > 0:05:18one third of those presenters are women, two thirds are men. So you

0:05:18 > 0:05:25can certainly see a big gap. A big gap in the Times coverage where it

0:05:25 > 0:05:35says the PwC

0:05:51 > 0:05:58INAUDIBLE I knew that we would enjoy this one.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03Rest assured, I am not on any list! Perhaps you should be!LAUGHTER.

0:06:03 > 0:06:10My belief is... And I think I am right, actually, very few presenters

0:06:10 > 0:06:15bring audience with them, it is the programme and the content that

0:06:15 > 0:06:20maintains the loyalty of the audience, many presenters turn

0:06:20 > 0:06:23people off, turn viewers or listeners off because they do not

0:06:23 > 0:06:27like their style but very few when they move from BBC to ITN actually

0:06:27 > 0:06:31take the audience with them, so you wonder what on earth they are being

0:06:31 > 0:06:36paid for!You mentioned the Times, let's show the coverage as well, BBC

0:06:36 > 0:06:40pay review will give men more rises than women, this is a reference to

0:06:40 > 0:06:48what Lord Hall has said about all the adjustments.The women are

0:06:48 > 0:06:53getting a greater pay rise than the men but by volume... Start paying

0:06:53 > 0:06:59people by target, and soon... It becomes like Russia, tractor

0:06:59 > 0:07:04production... There is a market for people doing a certain job, the

0:07:04 > 0:07:07damages, if that is what you end up paying.Whole thing is an absolute

0:07:07 > 0:07:13mess. The alternative, six presenters being told that they will

0:07:13 > 0:07:18take a pay cut, I don't think that is the way to do it, I think that is

0:07:18 > 0:07:22pretty unfair, clearly some of them are earning silly money. Some

0:07:22 > 0:07:29months, seems rather random.Perhaps they will go into programme making.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Where will they come from, these pay rises.The times, changing stories,

0:07:34 > 0:07:39ugly truth of socialism laid bare by researchers, says whom?This is

0:07:39 > 0:07:46literally saying that socialists are physically less attractive than

0:07:46 > 0:07:52right-wing people... It has been backed up by research, so this is

0:07:52 > 0:07:58research that shows attractive people tend to do better in life,

0:07:58 > 0:08:00largely because people interact with them differently, this can leave

0:08:00 > 0:08:04them with a blind spot when it comes to others hardship. And result in

0:08:04 > 0:08:09the good-looking being less likely to back redistributive taxes and

0:08:09 > 0:08:15more likely to be Tories. And they have done this huge amount of

0:08:15 > 0:08:20research, involving more than 2000 people, monitoring, working out how

0:08:20 > 0:08:23attractive they are and what corresponding political views are.

0:08:23 > 0:08:31And they are claiming, ugly people become socialists. It is brilliant.

0:08:31 > 0:08:39What do we think?I think it is true(!)as a Tory...!Telegraph

0:08:39 > 0:08:46readership, I think... The Guardian readers, generally wonderful

0:08:46 > 0:08:53looking...Socialists more likely to be physically weak, that is a whole

0:08:53 > 0:08:58different argument.I am going to leave that there are. Not comment on

0:08:58 > 0:09:05it at all, just as we did with the first story we did. Telegraph is...

0:09:05 > 0:09:12This is interesting, inheritance tax gifting and the limit for it may be

0:09:12 > 0:09:19lifted, we are told.Almost legitimising what is happening a

0:09:19 > 0:09:21lot, parents, grandparents giving money to their children to get onto

0:09:21 > 0:09:26the housing market, almost saying, the bank of mum and dad is actually

0:09:26 > 0:09:31happening, rather than an idea that it is happening. Trickle-down

0:09:31 > 0:09:40economics. It is what is going on out there.The trouble with the

0:09:40 > 0:09:44story is it plays to a certain audience, very many people will

0:09:44 > 0:09:50never be in a position to inherit money, whenever, from their parents,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53because their parents simply do not have the money. The problem with

0:09:53 > 0:09:57inheritance tax, it is not a fair tax, it infringes on fairness. This

0:09:57 > 0:10:02idea that it is to help kids get on the housing market, the average age

0:10:02 > 0:10:06of someone who gets inheritance is 61, this is not kids getting onto

0:10:06 > 0:10:14the housing market.Quite an old age to get on. And you can already get

0:10:14 > 0:10:25850,000. It is not a small amount of money. So it is not a great policy

0:10:25 > 0:10:32but it is certainly preaching to a certain voter.I was going to

0:10:32 > 0:10:36suggest that might be why...

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Let's move onto one that I know you both... Hesitate to use the word

0:10:44 > 0:10:50fixated... But, actually, I won't hesitate, you were both fixated on

0:10:50 > 0:10:56this earlier, and Frankie, why not. The big story of tomorrow.This

0:10:56 > 0:11:05killer whale, apparently, can speak a few words of English.Hilariously,

0:11:05 > 0:11:12it is in France. Perhaps getting into Britain.Apparently he can say

0:11:12 > 0:11:21hello, he can count to three, and he can say goodbye. I know that we have

0:11:21 > 0:11:26had a lot of stories about Wales being able to communicate with

0:11:26 > 0:11:30dolphins, I don't know if this is the first English speaking wail. --

0:11:30 > 0:11:42whales. We try to hear it but we did not.When Lassie comes along and she

0:11:42 > 0:11:47barks three times and they find the child... This is a little bit more

0:11:47 > 0:11:54than that.The creatures are able to copy unfamiliar sounds produced by

0:11:54 > 0:12:00other orca Wales, including a sound similar to blowing a rose Brit.

0:12:00 > 0:12:06Hello, 1-2, and bye bye! It is incredible.It is a killer whale. --

0:12:06 > 0:12:14blowing a raspberry. Being looked after in Antibes. We will

0:12:14 > 0:12:25momentarily return to a cartoon, not sure where we will show you it. I

0:12:25 > 0:12:33think we may be able to show it, this is from the Matt cartoon.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Genius, first year anniversary with the newspaper this year, we are

0:12:36 > 0:12:42proud to have in there, this is, what can I say, it is a BBC boss, in

0:12:42 > 0:12:47the Blue Planet office, with a starfish...

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Of course, starfish turn into female starfish as they get older, had to

0:12:56 > 0:13:00check that one. We checked it earlier, it is hilarious, combining

0:13:00 > 0:13:10lots of good ideas!He is so clever. Time is up. Thank you very much

0:13:10 > 0:13:14indeed. That is it for the papers tonight. Don't forget, you can see

0:13:14 > 0:13:20the front pages online, on the BBC news website.

0:13:22 > 0:13:28If you miss the papers any evening, you can watch it on the eye player,

0:13:28 > 0:13:29thank you very much.
