straight`sets win at Queen's. We will have all of that covered in | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Sportsday in 15 minutes after The Papers. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello. Welcome to our look ahead to The Papers. With me is Michael | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
Booker, the Deputy Editor of The Daily Express, and the freelance | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
journalist, Samira Shackle. We will start with the Telegraph. Iraq is | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
facing a return to the days of civil war. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
The Metro is leading on the online abuse the Harry Potter creator JK | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Rowling has received after she made a ?1 million donation to the | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
campaign against Scottish independence. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
The Mirror shows the pitch England will be playing on for their first | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
World Cup match against Italy. The Guardian claims that Passport | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Office staff have been told to relax the rules to help clear the backlog | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
of applications. A protest by black cab drivers | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
against a new taxi`hailing app makes the front`page. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
The Express says walking 6,000 steps a day could reduce the pain of | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
arthritis and increase the chances of not getting the condition. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
We will start with the Daily Telegraph and the story that is | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
dominating a lot of the headlines. Iraq, Michael. It looks as if 11 | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
years of occupation, well not occupation, some might argue | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
occupation, but certainly after the invasion by Western forces, billions | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
pumped into the Iraqi military and the police force. Doesn't seem to | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
have had any effect? None whatsoever. Judging by this, they | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
say they are heading towards civil war. It appears it is the darkest | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
days of civil war all over again. We are talking about four cities in the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
hands of militants. The US`trained army that is supposed to be there | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
country, laying down their arms and country, laying down their arms and | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
running off effectively. They have 30,000 of them running off when | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
there were 800 militants against them. You wonder what backbone that | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
entire army has. It seems to be spreading further. They are in | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
charge of towns, cities, oil refineries. Here, the political | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
debate is about ` David Cameron, you supported it at the time in 2003, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
there seems to be the argument about that in Parliament. That is all well | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
and good for the future. Let's get back to that in future as to why we | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
were there. There looks like movement to get involved again. This | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
is it. If, Samira Shackle, and the suggestion is they have got within a | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
few hundred miles of Baghdad now, they march on Baghdad and they take | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
over huge swathes of the country, including the capital. I mean, is | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
there going to be a push towards Western forces having to get | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
involved again? I think that is something that is going to be | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
discussed and there is a difference, a distinction to be drawn in terms | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
of the political debate between something like getting involved in | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Syria, which many people said this will be another Iraq, getting mired | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
in a messy sectarian conflict where there aren't necessarily right sides | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
and wrong sides. It becomes something quite different when you | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
are talking about terrorist networks seizing control of the whole | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
country. The potential threat of that to Western nations will | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
probably shift that debate. It is probably in that event more | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
comparable to the situation in Mali where French troops went in and | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
prevented this takeover of the country. It will be interesting to | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
see how it plays out. It was interesting a few weeks ago with | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Obama talking about Afghanistan and leaving some troops there to help | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
out. It is almost as if they have seen the mood music in Iraq and they | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
don't want a repeat of that in Afghanistan. They have already seen | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Iraq is a basket case. It is collapsing into anarchy already. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
There is absolutely no appetite anywhere for Western forces to get | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
back into Iraq is there? Not really. There isn't. There will be no public | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
support for it. William Hague has said there won't be anyone going in | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
in that way, there will be a humanitarian response. Once you | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
start humanitarian response, it is easy to get a "mission creep." There | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
will be a huge amount of public opinion against that. To a lot of | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
people, we lost a lot of our troops out there. We don't want to see | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
anymore out there. Let's stay with the Daily Telegraph. Diplomats warns | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
of passport delay chaos. You have a passport? I do. You will be OK | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
getting off on holiday? CYAN I have already been on holiday. A lot of | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
people, it would seem, could be well and truly ` they have a lot of | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
problems, frankly? It does affect a lot of people at this time of year. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
There seems to be so many facets to this. It is quite difficult to get | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
excited about a scandal which amounts to lots of piles of | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
documents. When you think about the effect that those documents not | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
being processed has on so many people, it is easy to see why there | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
is outrage. Michael, the suggestion on the front of the Guardian, if we | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
move on to that, passport chiefs relax rules to clear backlog, fewer | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
checks on overseas applicants revealed in a briefing note? Yes, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
this was sent out on Monday, the Home Office have already said they | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
weren't aware of it and they will be withdrawing it. This was to drop | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
checks on counter signatories, this is from people who were applying | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
from overseas. There is the security aspect of this, which is quite | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
worrying, which is what the Guardian have picked up on. It's clear that | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
there is a huge problem there. It's passport`gate! Staff have said to | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
the Guardian, the change could aid fraudsters who have applied for a | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
document. Yes. Something has to be done. This isn't the right way about | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
going about it. The Home Office say Ministers are unaware of this | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
document, that the Guardian says has been leaked. And have instructed Her | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Majesty's Passport Office to withdraw it immediately. So they are | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
withdrawing something that they are unaware of? That is the way the | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Government works! They are making it clear they don't think this is true? | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
It is nothing to do with them. Right. Ed Miliband has jumped on it | :06:54. | :07:05. | |
saying all the cuts are the problem, Theresa May and tens of thousands of | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
people are cancelling their holidays. I have not seen that | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
evidence. People are being affected. I have chosen this week to renew my | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
daughter's passport, I went to the post`office to get the forms and | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
there are no forms there. Yes. Usual `` usually, you get it check and | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
send, and it comes back within a couple of weeks. Whatever the Home | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
Office are saying they are aware of or not aware of, this is not caused | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
by a surge in applications. Whatever the different claims, there are | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
different things in the Telegraph and the Guardian. Whatever it is, it | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
is not what the Home Office said, it is something else, to do with the | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
change of policy and something that happened internally. The Metro, JK's | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
trolled over her Potter gold. JK Rowling, creator of Harry Potter, | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
has decided to give ?1 million to the "no" campaign for Scottish | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
independence. She lives in Edinburgh and has done for many years? She has | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Scottish grandparents as well. She is someone who has great values and | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
she's got the courage of her convictions. She always says things. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
During the Leveson Inquiry she was very forth night. `` forthright. She | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
put this out on her blog today. This is why I'm doing it. Fair play. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Unfortunately, there's a lot of idiots out there who are bombarding | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
her with some nasty things over the internet and they are saying it is | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
the cyber nats. A lot of these people are keyboard heroes, they are | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
typing away anonymously, should you pay any attention to them? Not sure | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
you should. She has had trolls in the past? She has. It is also ` | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
there is also a sign that as we get closer to the vote, this whole | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
thing, this debate is getting a little bit nastier as well. There's | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
been trolling on the other side as well? Absolutely. I sort of wonder | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
whether it is news anymore if someone does something and gets | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
attacked on the internet. That is certainly true that there's quite a | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
lot of sniping around the referendum and we can probably expect to keep | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
seeing that. I know there were some controversy about David Bowie when | :09:45. | :09:57. | |
he said, "Scotland, stay with us." And I think we can expect people to | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
have opinions about it and people should be allowed to express | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
opinions about it. I hope that that kind of robust political debate that | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
we need about that ` and a lot of that is reached through people like | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
JK Rowling ` I hope that that nasty criticism doesn't halt that debate | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
from happening. The "yes" campaign themselves say we respect her right | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
to have this opinion. Alex Salmond has... There are idiots on both | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
sides and there always is. The Financial Times now. The only person | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
who understands this story is you, Samira. | :10:41. | :10:54. | |
which allows you to book a taxi via your phone. It picks up on your GPS | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
exactly where you are and links you up with the nearest driver. The same | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
GPS system figures out where you have travelled and lets you know the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
fair afterwards and takes it from your bank account. The issue that | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
black cab drivers are taking from this is it is essentially a meter | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
system which technically is only black cabbies are allowed to use. It | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
calculates it for you. It calculates it according to the mileage. The | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
issue they are taking with it is that they are being allowed to use | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
this metre system when it has already been contested in the High | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Court that the decision will come through in a few months. But they | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
are saying black cabbies have to go through four in seven years of | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
training to get a licence. But this is like being a minicab driver and | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
why should they get the benefits without the drawbacks? As a result | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
of that, you have got a picture on the front of the Financial Times | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
there, of black cabbies not moving, reading the paper, because they | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
parked or their cars in a row blocking up central London. I did | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
not realise this is across Europe. It happened in Milan and other | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
cities as well. They have picked up a lot of business of the back of | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
this protest. A lot of people did not know about it because of this | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
protest. It is a bit of an own goal, especially considering the | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
High Court decision. So much has been affected by the Internet and | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
new media. The knowledge and black cabbies are getting a taste of it | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
now. If you got rid of black cabs, you will lose a big part of the rich | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
British culture. A lot of people come to London to get into a black | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
cab and once you start watering that down, do we want to get rid of them? | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
You can see why they are fighting for their jobs. Obviously, no one | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
likes the competition. I think something needs to be looked at | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Buchanan preserve it. Are they Luddites? I would not go that far. | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
You will not get picked up on the way home tonight! It is the | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
destruction of new technology. Maybe we should riot against Buzz hammock | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
received. Whatever that is! The Daily Mirror and look at the | :13:35. | :13:48. | |
state of the pitch. It has brown lines on it. That means you will get | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
your foot caught in it. That is Stoke isn't it? This is supposedly | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
Manaus. However, we are the ones with the big lumpy centre forward, | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
we will be all right. The Italians with the silky skills. Can you play | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
a beautiful game on that, sir Mirror? Identikit! I just wanted be | :14:10. | :14:18. | |
over. `` I don't care. I just wanted it to be over. You will be back in | :14:19. | :14:28. | |
our's time. Many thanks. Stay with us here on BBC news because at the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
top of the hour we will have much more on the situation in Iraq as | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
have seized a second major city in the north of the country. Now it is | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday ` | :14:42. | :15:00. | |
I'm John Watson. countdown is on to the start of the | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
World Cup ` we'll be live in Rio | :15:07. | :15:11. |
