With me is the political journalist and | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
blogger, Susie Boniface, also known as the Fleet Street Fox, and Kiran | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Stacey, Political Correspondent for the Financial Times. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Let's start with some of the front pages. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
As it emerges that the Bank of England is | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
considering upping interest rates by the end of the year, | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
The Telegraph has a clear warning from the Business Secretary Vince | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
The Express says that a cure of Altzheimers could be | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Murdered for being Muslim is the Metro's headline as Police | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
investigate the murder of a student stabbed to death in a park. | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
The Guardian has more on the crisis in Iraq as the government in Baghdad | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
have asked for air strikes from the US. Oil firms are evacuating staff | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
from oilfields and refineries across the country, in the Financial Times. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
A political leader front of the times with the news that two surveys | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
think Ed Miliband would not make a good Prime Minister. There was a | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
report of the daily Mirror suggesting levels of poverty in | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Britain are on the rise, while the Daily Mail has news that Charles | :01:29. | :01:41. | |
Taylor is suing the government, saying his detention breaches his | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
human rights. We will start with the Guardian. Incentives given to young | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
people, Ed Miliband making a special speech about this tomorrow, they | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
feel that benefits would be a good story. They will love the headline. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Lady getting tough on benefits. There is a lot of politics and | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
welfare is a hugely criticised part of public policy. Labour have been | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
trading on it. The most successful thing the government has done, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
according to the surveys, is putting a ?25,000 cap on household welfare. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
That's the maximum you can claim. If that is the case, Labour feel they | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
have to get into this area, what Ed Miliband is doing in his typical | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
style is something quite techy but significant. He says two things, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
first, young people who go on to jobseeker's allowance but don't have | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
very good skills, not equipped for being in the workforce, will lose | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
jobseeker's allowance entirely. That saves a bit of money, ?65 million. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Second thing, anybody who has been in work for five years and paid in | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
taxes for that long, will be able to claim a higher rate, up to ?71 per | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
week. We are bringing back this idea of this contributory principle. But | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
you could say this is unfair. What if you are a young person who | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
happens to be in work for a couple of years, a downturn comes along, as | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
a young person you are the first one out of the door, you won't be able | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to claim like somebody who has been in work for a long time and possibly | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
has a lot of savings in the bank. And what about somebody who has had | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
a tough upbringing, poor education, they don't have the skills, they | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
can't get a job, the instantly fail, and they are almost completely cut | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
off. There are some reasonably tough things to do, it won't save huge | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
amounts of money, but it's a reasonable amount. The problem Ed | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Miliband will find is nothing looks as tough as thought the Tories have | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
said. Nothing is exciting, that's what he needs to do, he needs to | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
excite people. Whether there is good or bad about it, well, you know, it | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
has taken him a long time to explain it. We didn't fall asleep. If you | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
are going to be successful, your policy has got to be snappy. What is | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
particularly interesting, to me, this is part of 30 radical measures | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
which he has come up with to restore faith in politics. That includes an | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
historically low period of voting turnout, never mind the police | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
commissioners vote, in 2010 only 65% of people in Britain who could vote | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
did vote. David Cameron and the Lib Dems are in power having only got | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
half of a very small share of the vote. So if you can get more people | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
voting, then you have more public approval. I want to know what the | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
other 28 ideas are, because this one is really boring. Then you will be | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
falling asleep. He said in hard times politicians just pumped hot | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
power or it will be as hot air. He power or it will be as hot air. He | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
needs to come out with things that will get him into Downing Street. We | :05:12. | :05:33. | |
out all of his 28 other ideas. Calls out all of his 28 other ideas. Calls | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
for air strikes to push back ISIS militants. President Obama has been | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
leaders. There is no appetite for leaders. There is no appetite for | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
another war, is there? Historically, getting back to colonial times, if | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
you have made a mess somewhere, the invading power has a duty, a moral | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
right to sort it out. A lot of this was talked about with the British | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Empire, if you come in, you ought to stay and administer control. This | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
has not happened in Iraq. People have stayed there for ten years, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
thought they did a good job, and quickly it has turned to chaos. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
What's interesting about the ISIS business is that this isn't a | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
surprise. It seems to have blown up. But these guys are producing annual | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
reports on the Internet for their reports on the Internet for their | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
investors for the past two years. MI6, the government, the people | :06:25. | :06:40. | |
taking note of this kind of thing, have known about them for a good | :06:41. | :07:07. | |
couple of years. They've been extorting $8 million in fines all of | :07:08. | :07:34. | |
that time. The fact they have just taken over is not a shock. They have | :07:35. | :07:50. | |
massive responsibility. They have let this happen and that this crisis | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
developed. We have to stop this, because apparently something is | :07:59. | :07:59. | |
going on in South America. Steven Gerrard is... Who? Here he is, he is | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
talking at a press conference. Do the Raheem Sterling is going to be a | :08:10. | :08:23. | |
star for many years? I don't want to put too much pressure on Raheem | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
Sterling, but he had a wonderful career at `` a wonderful season at | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
Liverpool. His game is growing, he had a fantastic performance the | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
other night against Italy. `` do you think Raheem Sterling is going to be | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
a star for many years for England? He is capable of creating and | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
many caps and he will be a good many caps and he will be | :09:04. | :09:04. | |
player for England. How is Alex's player for England. How is Alex's | :09:05. | :09:04. | |
progress? Is he in contention for tomorrow? Are there any other | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
injuries. He's not in contention for tomorrow, but he will take part in | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
the next training session. Today was his last individual training | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
session, if you like. At the limits, we could have taken a chance with | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
him tomorrow, but it would be much better if he uses the four days | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
after this game and before the Costa Rica game to train with the team. | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
His actual injury has responded very well to treatment. I don't think we | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
before he has had some training before he has had | :09:31. | :09:30. | |
injuries. You asked the media not to injuries. You asked the media not to | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
focus on Wayne Rooney. I have never asked the media anything. CHUCKLES | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
The media seems to have ramped up their focus. I would compare it to | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
the pressure put on him after Bloemfontein. Power out of | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
proportion has the media pressure been on him? How do you manage that? | :09:40. | :09:40. | |
`` how out of proportion. I try not `` how out of proportion. I try not | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
to concentrate on pressure. I concentrate on things within my | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
control. I don't control what people are writing, saying, all reporting. | :09:45. | :09:45. | |
I can only work with the group. As far as I was concerned, I was more | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
than happy with his performance against Italy. It was interesting to | :09:48. | :09:48. | |
get the statistics back and find out he ran more than any other England | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
player, had more sprints than any other England player, which perhaps | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
wasn't always evident to people watching the game. Wayne Rooney and | :09:52. | :09:52. | |
Steven Gerrard, they are alongside Frank Lampard, who hasn't featured | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
Cup and European experience. They Cup and European experience. They | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
are the players with 100 caps, or in Wayne Rooney's case, 80 odd caps. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
The focus is on them. Everybody understands that you cannot expect | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
the younger players to shoulder the heavy part of the burden. The good | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
thing is, Wayne Rooney is more than happy to do that. If he plays | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
tomorrow night, then I am sure you will see that in his performance. | :10:13. | :10:36. | |
It is not final. I believe some of the Uruguay players and their | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
manager are going to treat it as a World Cup final. Equally, we will | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
treat it with the same kind of importance, but it is not a cup | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
final. That is a fact. Of course, it's a very important game, there is | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
a lot at stake. Both teams in a very similar situation. For me, I think | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
the key in this game is all defend the best, because you have got to | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
map a very good teams, full of attacking players. We are very | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
confident going into the game we can get the right result. `` two very | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
good teams. How confident are you that your team has got the defeat | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
against Italy out of their system? How confident are you they can play | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
with the same fearlessness, the same attacking intent that was shown in | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
that game, but did not get the result. That's a good question. | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
Simple answer, I am confident. It is three important games, each game | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
stands alone. We have had our first one, we have taken the good and the | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
bad, analysed that, but I think we have definitely got it out of our | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
system, to use your expression. Now we are 100% focused on tomorrow | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
night. It's going to be a very exciting night, I think it will be a | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
good game between two good teams. We always knew in this group one team | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
at least was going to find it difficult to qualify, because there | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
were more than two contenders for the qualification places. But we | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
will do everything in our power to make certain it is asked who goes | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
through, and not Uruguay. Although it isn't a final, it is still an | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
important game that can decide if you are going to stay or leave the | :12:36. | :12:50. | |
World Cup. `` certain it is us. What can you tell us about the way the | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
team are feeling? The mood hasn't changed. It's still very positive. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
We were not too happy about the result against Italy. But as a team | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
and a squad, we were upbeat about our performance, we took a lot of | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
positives from the game. We are all well aware of how important this | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
game is. We need to go into this game, forget about the result, | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
because we cannot change that now. The only thing we can control is | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
what happens tomorrow night over the 90 minutes. And it is important we | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
perform to the level of the Italy game, if not better. | :13:31. | :14:05. | |
As I said earlier, we are not complaining about that, but I don't | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
think Uruguay are either. These conditions, if you're playing | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
football at the intensity we play at, playing in these temperatures | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
can only be advantageous. I can't deny that. But I must also say that | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
playing in Manaus, it did not seem to stop us playing with the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
intensity we wanted to play at. Even though, of course, it was a harder | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
task for the players. As far as I have been concerned when it comes to | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
Brazil on so many occasions, you play in the conditions you find. We | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
knew those conditions could vary, it could be very hot, it could be very | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
humid, but also it could be quite cool, and there might be rain. I | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
understand that he was suggesting that it is cooler and wetter it is | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
better the European teams, and European `based players. What | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
essentially is the challenge Uruguay pose? Stephen suggested if the team | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
`` Stephen suggested it is the team he defends better that will win. We | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
have two absolutely top performers in Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan. | :15:34. | :15:47. | |
They have strong midfield players. Rodriguez, for example. They are a | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
very experienced team. If you add those ingredients together you are | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
painting a picture of a strong team. They must be disappointed with the | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
opening day, `` they must have been disappointed with their opening | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
game, it did not go the way they wanted. We expect to see Uruguay | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
with all of their big guns blazing. We have to make certain that our | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
defending, as a team, and as a unit, is sufficient to keep them at bay | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
while of course asking questions of them ourselves. We can take three | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
more questions. The way England played so positively | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
in the first game, and other teams like Chile, have you been impressed | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
with the positive attacking you have seen in this World Cup? I've been | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
very impressed. It has been fantastic so far. I was delighted | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
with our attacking performance against Italy. Although, I thought | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
we maybe could have been a bit more calm in the final third with our | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
final pass, and may be scored a few more goals. I have no doubt going | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
into this game we will create Uruguay big problems going forward. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
We have a lot of pace and a lot of ability. I think you will see an | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
attacking performance. I think that's the reason why believe the | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
key to this game, if we can get our defensive side right, I believe we | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
will win. We talked to a lot of your players this week, apart from Steven | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
Gerrard who spake about Luis Suarez, most of the others avoided the | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
question about Luis Suarez. Is this something that has come from Steve | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Peters? I wasn't aware of that. You have surprised me with that | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
question. I had no idea the players had been ignoring questions about | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
Luis Suarez. As far as I'm concerned, can answer as many | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
questions about him as they like. Steve Peters does not have any input | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
into that kind of thing. When we prepare for our press conferences, | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
it is prepared for by other people than Steve Peters. Just curious at | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
this stage in your career, the night before a big game like tomorrow, do | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
you like to think about it a lot, do you go through it in your mind, | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
visualise what is going to happen, do you prefer to forget about it and | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
watch a movie? It's difficult to forget about it completely. Games at | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
this level are important. I'm the captain, I need to think about my | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
performance, the team performance the game plan. I will be on my | :18:33. | :18:42. | |
computer, studying the opposition. I don't worry about anything. I'm in a | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
confident mood. I have belief in my team`mates. There was a bit more | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
preparation to do before we go into the game `` and there is a bit more | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
preparation to do before we go into the game and I'll do that later. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
Hopefully it will be a good game to watch and I'm looking forward to it. | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
In the first two matches in this group, we have seen a sort of slow | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
Uruguayan defence, and England attacked with more pace than they | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
possibly have done for a long time. Is that something that affects your | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
strategy, your thoughts, your assessment going into this match? | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
Specifically what has happened in the two games we have had in this | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
group. We have been analysing Uruguay and their players for a long | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
time. I would be very wary and cautious of making judgements on the | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
Uruguayan team based on the last performance. Football matches throw | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
up strange results sometimes. Sometimes with the best will in the | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
world and the best preparation in the world, you go onto the field and | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
things don't quite go your way, you don't manage to find your form, you | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
don't play at your top level. In the opening game, as far as I was | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
concerned, they did not play to the level in which they are capable `` | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
of which they are capable. I think they will make things difficult for | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
us tomorrow. The final part, does not matter what offends you have, it | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
doesn't even if you have defenders you would analyse or classify as | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
quite fast, once you get playing against players of Luis Suarez's | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
ability, or Daniel Sturridge's ability, that technique married to | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
their speed, their agility, their fast footwork, it doesn't matter | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
what offended you are, you have a job on your hands to deal with it. | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
Thank you very much everybody. That was Roy Hodgson, the England | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
manager, and his captain, Steven Gerrard, at that press conference in | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Sao Paulo. Still with me in the studio, you were riveted by that, I | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
know you were. Three big things which came out of it, Alex | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Oxlade`Chamberlain will not be risked for the game against Uruguay | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
tomorrow because he is still recovering from an injury. Steven | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Gerrard says he is confident we will get the result, the right result, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
and he studies the competition on his iPad. I like the image of him | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
late at night on his iPad, the night before a big game, studying the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
opposition, definitely studying the opposition. You reckon he isn't | :21:19. | :21:27. | |
doing that? I don't know. What a football players do on the Internet? | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
