Hello and welcome to our look at the morning's papers. With me are the | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
Independent's Economics editor, Ben Chu, and the financial commentator, | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Louise Cooper. Let's start with the front pages. The crisis in | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
the main story in the Independent, which claims Iran may intervene to | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
stop militants capturing Baghdad. And the Telegraph reports that the | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
SAS may be deployed in the conflict. The Times says that the Ministry of | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Justice is scrambling to recruit more prison officers to deal with | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
the growing number of prisoners in Britain's jails. The Daily Mail | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
claims a big rise in passport applications from migrants is | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
contributing to the delays at the passport office. The Mirror has a | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
picture of the late teenage cancer fundraiser, Stephen Sutton, who has | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
been included on the Queen's Birthday Honours list. And the | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Guardian shows another person who has been awarded an honour, the | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
actress Angelina Jolie. We have to include this. Steven | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Gerrard on the front page of the Sun. The pubs are open until one | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
o'clock tomorrow. England play rugby and cricket. What could possibly go | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
wrong? Everyone has used this photograph of him with the England | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
flag, and I'm thinking, would he not have shaved? It is not even a beard. | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
It is tatty. It is very fashionable these days. Clearly, I know nothing. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
He did not have his beard with him at a press conference. He just got | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
not be bothered. Is that the best you could offer? I like this photo | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
shop in the corner. Samba Saturday? Who is this? He is dressed up like | :02:09. | :02:22. | |
he is ready for the samba. He has maracas and a headdress and he is | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
wearing his suit. I learned early in my career that you should under | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
promise and overdeliver. I believe there is quite a bit of that going | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
on and let's hope they deliver on that, but if the past is anything to | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
go by... I think you are right to detect some tongue in cheek about | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
that question, what could possibly go wrong... Anything that can go | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
wrong will go wrong. The pubs are open until one o'clock, it's sunny | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
weather, get the barbecue out... They are a young team. The second | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
youngest squad ever. We don't know what the game plan is. And they are | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
going against Italy. It's not the best draw for your first match. Last | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
time they met, it was a one`sided affair. And they will need to be | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
young and fit because it will be 70% humidity. They will be running | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
around in very hot weather and you would not fancy doing that if you | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
were over 25. They are very young. Frank... I was thinking about Frank | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
Lampard earlier. He is the only one I recognise, I have to admit. Roy | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Hodgson says all we have to do is get behind them. It's only that was | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
all we had to do! There is this quote from Steven Gerard. There must | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
be no regrets. Hope over experience? I liked the Financial Times. England | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
expects that an early flight home is on the cards. And apparently the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
line England expects goes back to Admiral Nelson. A signal before the | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Battle of Trafalgar. And the Financial Times have been quite | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
condemn the Financial Times have been quite condemnatory. The English | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
back home expect almost nothing. The nation's trajectory has been from | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
hubris to self`mockery but this time, they have skipped phase one. I | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
love the idea of a financial commentator turning to the Financial | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Times for the news on the football World Cup. The Daily Express has a | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
new weather warning for the summer. They have issued some advice for the | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
long, hot spell, which apparently has no end in sight. The health | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
warnings are the usual things. Put on a hat and sunscreen. Hold the | :05:04. | :05:16. | |
front page. Summer is hot. Avoid alcohol, it says, on the day of the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
first England match in the World Cup, where the one weekend in the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
year that people are likely to take to alcohol with the barbecue, it's | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
hot pubs will be open until one o'clock in the morning, but it's OK | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
because the Daily Express is telling people to avoid alcohol! | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
The NHS staff are braced, as they say. They always use that word. | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
Assume the position! Braced for emergencies. It seems like a | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
sensible thing to do. We have been waiting so long for this. And the | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
pubs open late... It's hot, people drink lager when it is warm. And in | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
the middle of a recession... Will you be watching? It's a bit late for | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
us. We have kept you up late. The Sunday lying in afterwards. We had a | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
laugh about this. If you don't have young children! The Financial Times. | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
We are on safer territory here, 's financial types. Promised little and | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
overdeliver? Buyers urged to tie in home loan rates. This is because we | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
heard from the Governor of the Bank of England and warning that interest | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
rates would rise earlier than the markets had been... Banking on. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
Mortgage brokers, of course, are calling on us to tie into fixed | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
rates. Another hold the front page moment. Mortgage brokers say go and | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
get a mortgage. He came out last night and said that interest rates | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
might go up sooner than imagined. The economic data has been better | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
than expected, particularly on unemployment. The Financial Times | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
have followed this up by saying this would be a good time to get a fixed | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
rate deal because those rates will go up sooner than imagined. To be | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
fair, the most recent data I saw in the Financial Times this week | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
suggested that 85% of recent mortgages were on a fixed rate | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
anyway, so when these mortgage brokers are urging us all, it seems | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
we are doing it anyway. The good news is that sterling is very | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
strong. ?1 will buy $1 70, so if you want to take family to in Florida, | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
this is the time. `` ?1 will buy $1.70. But for British companies | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
wanting to export... The other side of the coin. A good day for | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
holidaymakers. A bad day for metal bashers in the East Midlands. It was | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
ever thus. Are there any metal bashers in the East Midlands? I'm | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
glad to hear it, as someone from the East Midlands. I was encouraged | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
years ago to fixed my mortgage and I'm glad I did not because it has | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
stayed so low. When the economy turned this time last year, the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
markets thought that because of the strength of the recovery and because | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
rates were so low, the markets were predicting a rate rise at the end of | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
last year and it was only when Mark Carney said he would not raise the | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
rate that the markets said, OK... What did he say? He was giving them | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
forward... Forward guidance and we did have a laugh. Not to be confused | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
with guidance on its own. Something of a tautology. Oh, and it was very | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
funny and there was lots of teasing of him because clearly interest | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
rates... Unemployment rates dropped to his target. Gordon Brown had this | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
with his five test that had to be met and when they work, he moved | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
things a bit because it's not that simple, is it? To be fair to the | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
Bank of England... You get egg on your face when ever you try to make | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
a forecast beyond the very short term. Like the weather. But the | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
difference is that they only issue five`day forecasts with the weather | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
and they are willing to admit when they get it wrong, which is very | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
different to economists. And central bankers. The Guardian. The US and | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
Iran join the fight for Iraq. In what capacity, we do not know. Air | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
strikes against jihadis. Tehran has sent a top general to Baghdad. If | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
you wait long enough, you can almost see any headline but the idea that | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the US and Iran are having to join forces to suppress a revolt by | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Islamists in Iraq, who do some pretty atrocious things who stand in | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
their way... Truly extraordinary but also extraordinary that the US and | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Iran, as the headline says, would join to fight for Iraq. That is | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
truly peculiar and extraordinary considering where we have come from | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
in history. The Guardian also has a line that Obama may considered yet | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
strikes, air strikes, into Syria as well. And that is a different mind | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
that I have not read in the other newspapers so far today. He is | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
considering airstrikes. Not boots on the ground but here, they are | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
suggesting that Syria as well as Iraq. That is because ISIS have a | :11:07. | :11:19. | |
presence in Syria. It reflects the transnational nature of this | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
insurgency. Everything is connected. If you work to do a diagram of all | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
the different interests and sectarian divisions in all of these | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
different countries, it would confuse you even more. And this is | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
what policymakers in the US and UK are dealing with. How can you | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
possibly be constructive when you cannot even see where all of the | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
alliances are? And there is such a deep irony. The US has been at | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
loggerheads with Iran for most of the past decade and now they find | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
themselves on the same side against this sort of Al`Qaeda linked group. | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
It must be very difficult to see what to do at the moment. The | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
Mirror. The Queen 's birthday honours. This is Stephen Sutton, | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
raised nearly ?4 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust. He has been | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
given an MBA. He found out just a short time before he died. This will | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
is probably one of the easiest decisions the committee could make. | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
He inspired everyone. There was such a ground swell of support and the | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
money raised was fantastic for a brilliant course and it really does | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
give the list a good name when this sort of thing happens. What I found | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
truly moving about him was his approach to his own death. He knew | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
that it was coming and he accepted it. Now, many adults find it very | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
difficult to accept their own mortality and it is a very emotional | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
and difficult journey and most people fight against it very hard | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
and here is a young man with the maturity to accept one of the | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
greatest injustices. Not the length of time you live but what you do | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
with the times you have got. And an honourary title for Angelina Jolie. | :13:19. | :13:31. | |
She has clearly done a lot of very important aims for charity but I do | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
wonder whether this is really that appropriate to honour an American | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
actress in this way. Even if she does make William Hague smile? The | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
cynic in me fears that is one of the reasons why she has got it, because | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
she has put him in a very good light. Such cynicism! It just | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
saddens you, really. Thank you anyway. Those are the papers | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
tonight. Stay with us because coming up next, we have a special World Cup | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
edition of the sport. | :14:08. | :14:10. |
