head into the weekend. More on the prospects for the weekend where you

:00:00.:00:00.

live on the website. Hello and welcome to our look at

:00:00.:00:20.

what the papers will bring us tomorrow. Michael Booker is the

:00:21.:00:25.

deputy editor at the Daily Express and so Mira Shackle, freelance

:00:26.:00:31.

editor. Let's have a look. The Times reports militants had for the Iraq

:00:32.:00:36.

capital of Baghdad. The Metro leads on the online abuse that the Harry

:00:37.:00:42.

Potter author, J K Rowling, received after making a ?1 million donation

:00:43.:00:44.

to the campaign against Scottish independence. The Mirror shows the

:00:45.:00:49.

pitch on which England will play for the first World Cup match against

:00:50.:00:54.

Italy on Saturday. The Guardian claims passport office staff have

:00:55.:00:57.

been told to relax the rules to help clear the backlog of applications.

:00:58.:01:02.

Passports are the lead of the Daily Mail. The PM claims there is no

:01:03.:01:08.

crisis at the office. Black cab drivers protest eight taxi hailing

:01:09.:01:13.

app, on the front of the Financial Times. The i reports on a record

:01:14.:01:19.

boost to the job market, as figures show the number of people in work

:01:20.:01:25.

has grown by 350,000. The express says walking 6000 steps per day

:01:26.:01:29.

could reduce the pain of arthritis `` the Daily Express. It would

:01:30.:01:31.

increase the chances of not getting the condition. We will begin with

:01:32.:01:37.

the times and the situation in Iraq. Islamic insurgents push

:01:38.:01:45.

Baghdad to the brink. It looks as if the security forces, after billions

:01:46.:01:49.

was pumped into the training of the Iraq army and the police, and

:01:50.:01:54.

allowing the suggestion that it made sense in some people's mind for

:01:55.:01:58.

Western forces to pull out, it seems to have been a waste of money. The

:01:59.:02:05.

fact that the security forces abandoned their post, didn't fight

:02:06.:02:10.

against the militants, a report suggests that 30,000 troops ran away

:02:11.:02:13.

in the face of 800 militants. It undermines the US claim to have

:02:14.:02:18.

created a unified, well`trained, strong Iraq army. It is a dire

:02:19.:02:33.

situation. It demonstrates how long he remained responsible for when you

:02:34.:02:36.

invade a country or take part in an occupation. So many things are set

:02:37.:02:44.

in motion that cannot be predicted. Americans were trying to sort out a

:02:45.:02:50.

military agreement with the Iraqis in 2011 that would have allowed a

:02:51.:02:54.

small contingent of US forces to remain in the country. We couldn't

:02:55.:02:58.

work out the details. Barack Obama had the public saying, get out of

:02:59.:03:04.

there. Nouri Maliki said, we don't want you here anyway and now this

:03:05.:03:09.

could be the result of that impasse. Nouri Maliki himself, David Cameron

:03:10.:03:13.

said that he hasn't acted quick enough. We can see that he is

:03:14.:03:16.

focusing on him being the problem and Iraqis being the problem. There

:03:17.:03:21.

has been 11 years of fighting in the country. You can understand the

:03:22.:03:26.

bloodthirsty mob. People don't want to fight any more. There is talk in

:03:27.:03:31.

one story about how there was a phone call to an oil refinery. They

:03:32.:03:36.

said, lay down your arms or fight to the death. I know what I would do in

:03:37.:03:40.

that situation. I would run a mile as well. You have got to put

:03:41.:03:45.

yourself in their position. This Isis group, it is the speed of this

:03:46.:03:53.

that is apparent, these cities, towns, oil refineries are going

:03:54.:03:58.

down. They have come from Syria. Should we have then got involved in

:03:59.:04:07.

Syria? If we had, would it have stopped this problem or would there

:04:08.:04:10.

be another Al Qaeda affiliate popping up, another head from the

:04:11.:04:13.

hydra that would have done this anyway. It begs those questions,

:04:14.:04:18.

should we have got involved? We didn't want to get involved. That

:04:19.:04:22.

was due to public opinion. We don't want to get involved here either.

:04:23.:04:25.

Let's hope there is more resistance from American troops who are there.

:04:26.:04:32.

Towards the end of this story in Kirkuk, it seems as though security

:04:33.:04:35.

forces are putting up a fight. Maybe it has caught them by surprise. Now

:04:36.:04:40.

that they have... They have organised themselves, there could be

:04:41.:04:46.

more resistance. Let's move on to the Daily Mail. Kamran, what

:04:47.:04:52.

passport crisis? Angry families face ruin Summers, the PM is response ``

:04:53.:05:03.

VPN's response. The government has taken action apparently, 250 staff

:05:04.:05:06.

on the frontline, the passport frontline, they have been deployed.

:05:07.:05:11.

Geoffrey Robinson is quoted, saying, we are told all is well but staff

:05:12.:05:16.

are working 17 hour days and paid ?70 per hour overtime for the job of

:05:17.:05:20.

sticking labels on with names and addresses. If this is not a crisis

:05:21.:05:25.

of management, I don't know what is. Party politically, they are stirring

:05:26.:05:29.

it up. It seems as though people are not getting their passports. They

:05:30.:05:32.

are waiting for weeks, driving hundreds of miles to get to passport

:05:33.:05:36.

offices and getting them in person. It is a big problem. There is a

:05:37.:05:42.

story in the Daily Telegraph, where there was a meeting of high

:05:43.:05:44.

commissioners and ambassadors, a great meeting to be out, and they

:05:45.:05:49.

say that it isn't because there are hundreds out thousands more

:05:50.:05:51.

applications but because they have class overseas passport centres. ``

:05:52.:05:59.

they have shut. Was that just spend? David Cameron saying that because

:06:00.:06:02.

the economy has improved, people have more money so there are more

:06:03.:06:05.

applications for passports. It is a roundabout excuse.

:06:06.:06:24.

It was acknowledged that changes to the rules about overseas passport

:06:25.:06:28.

applications was going to create a huge backlog. It is a situation for

:06:29.:06:35.

the government, you are dammed if you do and then if you do not. There

:06:36.:06:41.

are huge amounts of anger about passports being delayed and not

:06:42.:06:46.

being able to get them in time. On the other hand, if the Home Office

:06:47.:06:52.

start relaxing checks to speed up the process, that is also a scandal

:06:53.:07:00.

in its self. People do not want to feel that it is less secure or

:07:01.:07:07.

reliable. As you were suggesting, the Labour Party and opposition

:07:08.:07:14.

benches are having a field day. There is a statement, this is a

:07:15.:07:18.

seriously chaotic and the government is in denial about the extent of the

:07:19.:07:26.

crisis. David Cameron is suggesting there is no crisis. It is a good

:07:27.:07:37.

front`page story. But the Home Office has already put out a

:07:38.:07:41.

statement saying it is nonsense. Are they saying it is nonsense or that

:07:42.:07:47.

they were not aware? They are not aware, but they have stamped on it.

:07:48.:07:53.

That is what they would like as to believe. It is a simple effort to

:07:54.:08:10.

reduce the backlog. Cos signatories as well as requirements for

:08:11.:08:17.

evidence. The sources say it could leave it to talk criminals and

:08:18.:08:25.

fraudsters. We were very worried about our leaking borders and if

:08:26.:08:29.

passports at being made easier for people who are fraudsters. It is

:08:30.:08:35.

clearly very worrying. Just to reiterate, they have told the

:08:36.:08:40.

passport office to withdraw it immediately. The Herald. JK Rowling

:08:41.:09:05.

attacks call to end online bile. She is receiving stick online for her

:09:06.:09:14.

donation. `` attracts. This story features not just the attacks on JK

:09:15.:09:20.

Rowling, but calls for figures in Scotland to stop these sorts of

:09:21.:09:26.

attacks on people who dared to voice an opinion on the referendum. That

:09:27.:09:31.

is actually something that is heated. That is a good thing to call

:09:32.:09:37.

for. People are entitled to have an opinion, JK Rowling has made no

:09:38.:09:45.

secret of being a donated. I think it is very corrosive if you have a

:09:46.:09:51.

situation where people are afraid to say one way or another what they

:09:52.:09:57.

think. That tenders the public debate. `` tenders.

:09:58.:10:04.

It is getting nasty now. It is, but it goes wider than this issue. Any

:10:05.:10:13.

issue that seems to get people excited also ends up with people

:10:14.:10:19.

going online, sending these messages to people, unnecessary messages. It

:10:20.:10:24.

could just be a general message to everyone. People getting on their

:10:25.:10:31.

computers and firing out the nasty as the thing that comes into their

:10:32.:10:36.

minds. There is no justification for this. Give it a rest. Yet on the

:10:37.:10:41.

doorsteps and offshore computers. That is a good idea. `` get on your

:10:42.:10:53.

doorsteps and off your. Let us go to the i. A good, positive headline for

:10:54.:11:01.

the i. The number of people in work leaps. But there is a sting in the

:11:02.:11:10.

tail. Wages are below inflation. People are going into short`term

:11:11.:11:16.

work, part`time work. People are leaving jobseekers allowance and are

:11:17.:11:18.

trying to get as much work as they possibly can. But it is very

:11:19.:11:26.

low`paid. The cost of living, it is the sort of thing the Labour Party

:11:27.:11:35.

keep banging away at. In fact, in the figures released today, the

:11:36.:11:40.

suggestion is that wage rises are not going up as fast as they were. I

:11:41.:11:45.

did not think wages were going up at all. That is the thing. We could go

:11:46.:11:53.

into the next election where there is a situation where there is a

:11:54.:11:58.

booming jobs market, but it is a funny kind of recovery where the

:11:59.:12:00.

numbers are good but people do not feel the difference. Something I was

:12:01.:12:06.

struck by was the office of budget responsibility saying that it will

:12:07.:12:11.

be 2018 before wages return to where they were at. That is still a long

:12:12.:12:20.

way off. That is the one bit of light for the Labour Party. They can

:12:21.:12:24.

hammer away at the cost of living prices. People might get bored of

:12:25.:12:30.

it, but because the coalition seemed to have done well with the economy,

:12:31.:12:33.

this is one part they have not managed to crack. The headline is

:12:34.:12:40.

the record boost to the UK jobs market.

:12:41.:12:44.

Onto the Express. Daily walk to stop the writers. That is your front

:12:45.:12:50.

page. `` arthritis. It affects millions of people across the world.

:12:51.:12:57.

It costs the NHS various things. Any replacement is ?5.2 billion every

:12:58.:13:04.

single year. `` a knee. We are supposed to get 10,000 steps per

:13:05.:13:11.

day. 1000 steps is a brisk walk. It is something that can be done by

:13:12.:13:17.

anyone. The study has found that problems have been slashed by 20%

:13:18.:13:24.

with just an extra 1000 steps. You can understand how people would

:13:25.:13:33.

think, maybe I should not move around as much. You would get that

:13:34.:13:37.

impression. It apparently if you keep walking around, the mobility

:13:38.:13:44.

does improve. Hopefully it will change lives. On to the Daily

:13:45.:13:51.

Mirror. I know you are excited about this. This is the picture on the

:13:52.:13:59.

front, the pitch that England are going to play on against England.

:14:00.:14:03.

This is what happens when you put too much manual on the grass. ``

:14:04.:14:12.

fertiliser. It is three days to go. It will be fine, it will be sorted.

:14:13.:14:18.

It will start and everyone will forget about it. All of the great

:14:19.:14:28.

stories come out. We have been through the favelas, now we are

:14:29.:14:31.

looking at the pictures. It. The great. `` it is still going to be.

:14:32.:14:43.

It is not just a problem for us. Thank you very much. And enjoy the

:14:44.:14:55.

World Cup. Stay with us. At the top of the Ella, the latest on the

:14:56.:14:59.

situation in Iraq as Islamist militants seize a second city in the

:15:00.:15:05.

north of the country. Coming up, it is time for World Cup Sportsday.
