0:00:18 > 0:00:22Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:22 > 0:00:23bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26With me are the Political Editor of the Sun on Sunday,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Dave Wooding, and Owen Bennett, Deputy Political Editor
0:00:28 > 0:00:28of HuffPost UK.
0:00:37 > 0:00:46Welcome, both. Sorry there's no scones or scones. We'll explain in a
0:00:46 > 0:00:46minute.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51The Metro leads with the ongoing investigation into the poisoning
0:00:51 > 0:00:53of former spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter, Yulia.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The Express asks why it took authorities so long to issue advice
0:00:57 > 0:01:00to anyone who was in the area where the pair were poisoned.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02The Telegraph says hundreds of people have been warned
0:01:03 > 0:01:05to wash their clothes and clean belongings with wet wipes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08The front page of the Guardian leads on research that shows
0:01:08 > 0:01:10University Chancellors' pay far exceeds that
0:01:10 > 0:01:11of their public sector counterparts.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14The Times also leads on the poisoning in Salisbury,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17saying the Prime Minister is on the verge of publicly hitting
0:01:17 > 0:01:19out against Russia if it is proved that the country
0:01:19 > 0:01:20is behind the incident.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23The Financial Times claims that multi-national companies are paying
0:01:23 > 0:01:25significantly less in tax than they were before
0:01:25 > 0:01:26the 2008 financial crisis.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The Daily Mail has more on an alleged child grooming
0:01:29 > 0:01:30ring in Shropshire.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31And the Mirror reports ex-Liverpool footballer,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Jamie Carragher, has apologised after he spat at a 14-year-old
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Manchester United fan from his car.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38So, not suprisingly, lots more on the events in Salisbury
0:01:38 > 0:01:43on the front pages.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48That is where we will begin.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54The Daily Telegraph says officials are facing a nerve agent backlash. A
0:01:54 > 0:01:57week has gone by and public health information is only just being
0:01:57 > 0:02:02issued.The information people need to wash clothes they are wearing if
0:02:02 > 0:02:08they are around Salisbury, wipe down mobile phones with wet wipes if they
0:02:08 > 0:02:14have been exposed. It is a week after the incident. You can see
0:02:14 > 0:02:20people wearing suits, contamination suits. It is quite a juxtaposition.
0:02:20 > 0:02:28Most people would think it is fine otherwise they would not tell us,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32but they are telling them now. It seems awfully late to do this.But
0:02:32 > 0:02:38don't panic. No alarm.500 people would have visited the restaurant,
0:02:38 > 0:02:45pub, where the two or three victims of the attack visited. But if you
0:02:45 > 0:02:50lived in Salisbury and saw military personnel and police officers on the
0:02:50 > 0:03:09front page of The Telegraph, with these and -- anti-contamination
0:03:09 > 0:03:13suits, you'd think something was wrong. You would wonder what you are
0:03:13 > 0:03:21wearing, what you touched, and every cough and sneeze, you would think,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25in my contaminated? I can see people are rushing to the NHS with
0:03:25 > 0:03:32complaints on this.Look at the Times. Theresa May to hit back at
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Russia over spy attack. That is the suspicion. Have they got the
0:03:37 > 0:03:44evidence to chase it back to Moscow? It is a Russian double agent who is
0:03:44 > 0:03:48the victim of the attack. It is a state which has the capability of
0:03:48 > 0:03:52delivering, and only states have the capability of delivering attacks of
0:03:52 > 0:03:58this nature. If they have found out what the agent is, that makes it
0:03:58 > 0:04:02easier to draw a conclusion as to which stated would be. We all
0:04:02 > 0:04:08suspect it is Russia. -- state it. Theresa May has been cautious about
0:04:08 > 0:04:13saying so. The suggestion is that tomorrow she is going to, umm, say
0:04:13 > 0:04:18that Russia was behind this. We will see what happens.It is much more
0:04:18 > 0:04:30difficult to trace a nerve agent, a radioactive powder is easier like
0:04:30 > 0:04:37Litvinenko.The fact this has happened, it is almost to send a
0:04:37 > 0:04:45message. If it was Russia, Russia would not do much to hide it. They
0:04:45 > 0:04:49want people to know that if you betrayed the Kremlin, this is what
0:04:49 > 0:04:54happens. If you want to take someone out, there is an easier way to do
0:04:54 > 0:05:04it. This is part of the message. This has a degree of symbolism.
0:05:04 > 0:05:13Let's go to the Spring Statement and the Sun. Losing your belts, they
0:05:13 > 0:05:19say. -- loosen. But austerity continues.The question The Sun is
0:05:19 > 0:05:27asking is now that the Times is talking about turning back
0:05:27 > 0:05:35austerity, people are £4 better off than in 2010 according to the Joseph
0:05:35 > 0:05:42Rowntree Foundation. Many of the Tory MPs I am speaking to,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45especially backbenchers, they feel they need something they can put on
0:05:45 > 0:05:51the doorstep to sell, more good news, a public sector pay increase,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55more money for local councils. They need to give the Chancellor
0:05:55 > 0:06:04ammunition.This was a story that was around a year or so ago, it was
0:06:04 > 0:06:12revealed that those who have gone on to jobs get pay rise from extra
0:06:12 > 0:06:16hours and then lose in work benefits, tax credits, which makes
0:06:16 > 0:06:22them worse off. Iain Duncan Smith and Johnny Mercer have seized on
0:06:22 > 0:06:27this, saying you have to make this a priority when you start dishing out
0:06:27 > 0:06:32some of the... Turning on the spending taps at the end of the
0:06:32 > 0:06:37tunnel.The Daily Telegraph says there could be a litter levy.It is
0:06:37 > 0:06:42all part of the... The government is getting quite green. The coffee
0:06:42 > 0:06:59cups, plastic...Levis on crisp packets, take-away cups, and chewing
0:06:59 > 0:07:07gum. It costs 10p to pick up chewing gum. It will be announced at the
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Spring Statement on Tuesday, levies will be considered.Some things are
0:07:11 > 0:07:17happening.The Chancellor has announced this before, the plastic
0:07:17 > 0:07:22levy, takeaway containers, that kind of thing. The Tories have hit a
0:07:22 > 0:07:28sweet spot now, especially because of the Blue Planet series, they
0:07:28 > 0:07:37realise people are tuned in, not just young or old voters. They see
0:07:37 > 0:07:41this as a way of talking not just about Brexit or Geraghty, there are
0:07:41 > 0:07:45things we are four, like leaving the environment better than we found it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51-- austerity. Michael Gove has a lot of energy and wants to get on with
0:07:51 > 0:07:58things. It is a sweet spot.Have you not noticed in the last few days we
0:07:58 > 0:08:06have seemed... Brexit has done on the backburner.Shh!You have jinxed
0:08:06 > 0:08:17it! Common infections may raise the risk of strokes, more than obesity,
0:08:17 > 0:08:25says the Telegraph.Apparently there is a 40% greater risk of heart
0:08:25 > 0:08:30attack and stroke, 150%. These infections are quite serious often.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36If you have a propensity towards a stroke or a heart attack, they will
0:08:36 > 0:08:44increase the chance of it happening quite substantially.What can you
0:08:44 > 0:08:47do? Obesity is something we are all encouraged to tackle, but a common
0:08:47 > 0:08:54infection...It is strange, correlation, causation, is it
0:08:54 > 0:08:59because you keep getting infections, that leaves you having a stroke, I
0:08:59 > 0:09:06am not sure what to take away from this.It is like people living in
0:09:06 > 0:09:09certain towns more likely to die young. It is often because those
0:09:09 > 0:09:18towns have poverty, the healthcare and the food and the lifestyle makes
0:09:18 > 0:09:24the more healthy.The Guardian. Vice chancellor pay eclipses public
0:09:24 > 0:09:30sector. They have done research, trying to compare what university
0:09:30 > 0:09:37bosses are earning compared to the Chief Executive of the council.Even
0:09:37 > 0:09:40if you argue they work in the public sector and there is competition,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45comparing it to... They have said the Chief Executive of Birmingham
0:09:45 > 0:09:55City Council pockets £500,000 a year, a pretty good job in terms of
0:09:55 > 0:10:01his salary. This has been around for a while. There is no sense of
0:10:01 > 0:10:07anything changing. The minister said it is something we need to look at
0:10:07 > 0:10:14and put this in the light.Students are paying hefty fees these days.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20People are starting to ask questions a bit more about what the quality of
0:10:20 > 0:10:24the courses are like and also why these people at the top are earning
0:10:24 > 0:10:33such big money.A quick question on the picture. A 2.5 metre statue
0:10:33 > 0:10:37based on a real-life man in the Science Museum as part of the
0:10:37 > 0:10:51medical galleries. Zombie Boy. These are his tattoos. This piece of art
0:10:51 > 0:10:56will be in homage to art all over their body. A bit meta.It does not
0:10:56 > 0:11:00say what it is made out of. It looks like brass. I would not want to
0:11:00 > 0:11:10clean it.It would take a while. Page three of the Mail. The best
0:11:10 > 0:11:20headline. Scone of Contention. National Trust in a Jam. It needs
0:11:20 > 0:11:32explanation.It is whether you put your cream or jam on your, can I
0:11:32 > 0:11:43correct you, "Scon.""Scoen" doesn't work.People living in Cornwall put
0:11:43 > 0:11:50the jam on first and the cream on top by people in Devon do it the
0:11:50 > 0:11:54other way. The National Trust, in trouble for many things, hunting on
0:11:54 > 0:12:03its land, drag hunting, I think they call it, or making the staff to wear
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Gay Pride badges, which caused a row, always getting in trouble, they
0:12:09 > 0:12:14put up a picture of the jam on top of the cream, which is the wrong way
0:12:14 > 0:12:26round.They made a Devonian scone, scoen, look like it was in Cornwall.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30The person that posted the offensive advert has now been suitably
0:12:30 > 0:12:46re-educated in the ways of the Cornish, which I feel sorry for,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50being a Devon lad.It comes up so often.Meanwhile, UNICEF dieback on
0:12:50 > 0:12:57the menu. We tire of plain plates. It is a full dinner service,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01elaborate ones are being auctioned off. Is to be the mainstay of your
0:13:01 > 0:13:15wedding list. -- It used to be. Eternal Bows, it used to be. The
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Willow pattern as well.Used to have a nice one on Christmas Day,
0:13:19 > 0:13:26especially elaborate.I only ever saw them as part of the conveyor
0:13:26 > 0:13:35belt.I have nice plates for my scones.We tried to supply a scone
0:13:35 > 0:13:43as a prop but the cupboard was bare in the kitchen downstairs. That is
0:13:43 > 0:13:44it for the night.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers on line
0:13:48 > 0:13:49on the BBC News website.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It's all there for you, seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56And if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later
