Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are pensions analyst Ros Altmann and Clive Petty, assistant | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Wearing the metaphorical black armband, sorry it have to be | :00:22. | :00:36. | |
tonight. The crisis in Iraq is the main story in the Telegraph, which | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
has an interview with General Petraeus, the former head of the | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
CIA. The Guardian says new rules brought in after the Trojan horse | :00:50. | :01:02. | |
controversy says that it could prevent conservative Muslims running | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
schools. General Petraeus is warning of a terrorist army he believes is a | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
threat to the West, as President Obama says it is going to send in | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
300 special forces advisers. This will be music to the ears of the | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
Republicans, but not the Democrats? That's right. A lot of people are | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
concerned about what is happening. How do we know who are the good guys | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
and the bad guys? Do we want to get involved? What The Telegraph is | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
saying is that many of the major Arab countries all around are saying | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
to America, please don't get involved. The Saudi ambassador to | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
the UK has apparently written in the Telegraph, warning against direct | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
involvement, warning against air strikes and America really's or | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
America and the UK, actually sending troops in, or being involved | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
militarily. They fear it will inflame the situation. After the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
experiences we have had in the last few years, it's very difficult to | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
know what we can actually do, militarily. That was President Obama | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
was saying, in a country written by sectarianism, the last thing he | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
wants to do is to target one particular group, Sunni Shia. At the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
moment, they don't have the intelligence to know who they would | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
be aiming at? I'm always wary when Western governments take sides in | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
these sort of things, and then try to impose, once they have gone in in | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
the name of democracy, tell the people in that country who should be | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
in charge. They are talking about military attacks as a last resort. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
But they are already using words like targeted, precise, they have | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
given this thought already. They say they are military advisers. Does | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
that mean they are troops? In The Guardian they call them troops. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Getting them inside the country under a different label? We really | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
don't know. They are talking about not having ground troops. You know, | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
they may not be talking about an invasion again, but these are air | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
strikes. It is an attack, by any other name, and they have to be | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
careful. They will alienate Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
General Petraeus makes this point, having said the US must strike | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
particular Iraqis, he is saying, I suspect most Iraqis, despite the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
desperate situation, would not welcome outside assistance, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
suggesting they would not be happy to see a return of American combat | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
forces in the country? That is what we have learned over the last few | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
years. Even if we try to help one side or the other, it is inevitable | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
that, in any situation, going in with air strikes, you will be | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
telling some people, inadvertently, who you didn't want to target at | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
all. That leaves the West in a very difficult situation. People, | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
understandably, will see the West as aggressors in some way. They will be | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
trying to defend people. Repeated criticism of Nouri al`Maliki for | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
residing over what many people regard as a very corrupt government. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
There has not been and inclusive government, they are saying he needs | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
to sort this out for himself, and that does not include foreign | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
intervention? That is right. There is an example that this should be | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
kept as an internal conflict, if you like. That is what you would hope. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Let's move on. Staying with the Telegraph, another story on the | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
front page, passport solution, stay here! There is a crisis in the | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
passport office and a backlog of tens of thousands of people waiting | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
to have their passport applications processed. Here, but there minister, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Helen Grant, suggesting people should take their summer holiday in | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Britain. `` tourism Minister. Tell us, who is Helen Grant? Well, it was | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
delivered while she is at the World Cup, in Brazil. So, she has her | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
passport! You can't go abroad, stay at home. We do hear these things | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
quite often, they seem to have that foot in mouth syndrome. If you have | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
booked a holiday, you don't have the option to stay here, you need your | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
passport to go on holiday. It's the summer, didn't anybody see this | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
coming? People might want to go abroad. Surely, there is an upsurge | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
in passport applications? It seems fairly obvious to me. She is risking | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
the Rath of people caught up in the fiasco. `` | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
I would say, what planet are you on? She came in for criticism recently | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
for saying that British girls might want to take up a feminine | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
activities like cheerleading and ballet. I feel sorry for her, they | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
didn't intend for there to be this backlog. They've got to introduce | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
emergency measures. But I don't know, you have to be careful. It's a | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
misunderstanding of the situation and of ordinary people that need a | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
passport. Let's move on to the Daily Mail. England against Uruguay. We | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
had to come to it in the end. It was looking quite positive in the 75th | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
minute, when Wayne Rooney scored the equaliser. Luis Suarez came back | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
minute, when Wayne Rooney scored the equaliser. Luis Suarez came with a | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
second goal. We will probably get in`depth analysis from Clive. It | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
seems too good to be true, and it was? I was so excited when we got | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
that equaliser. I thought, yes, we can do it. Technically, I think | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
there is a chance that we may still survive, but what the Daily Mail is | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
pointing out, worryingly, is that England fans have been attacked | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
ahead of the game. They were worried about them being attacked after the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
game. Apparently there were some problems even before the game. Fans | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
hospitalised? There have been some arrests, but we don't think any | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
England fans have been arrested? I'm not sure if this was confirmed, but | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
it's quite bizarre, really, the timing of it. Only in our paper, The | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
Times, our correspondent had written a fantastic piece about how great | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
the atmosphere was between fans. The cocoa cabana Beach was standing out | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
as the home of football. Then out of the blue we see that they were | :08:14. | :08:26. | |
attacked by thugs, and England fans have needed treatment after | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
fireworks and Molotov cocktails were thrown into this bar. How might it | :08:29. | :08:43. | |
not be too late? It sounds odd to hope that a team can qualify with | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
just three points, but they will have to to beat Costa Rica. We are | :08:48. | :09:05. | |
going to have to be Italy fans, they can beat them and Uruguay. Anything | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
of that has to happen? A flash of lightning? There is a big statue | :09:14. | :09:28. | |
that looks down over the beach. The reaction on social media was elation | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
to depression, the plane coming back to bring the England team home? For | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
a while, when Wayne Rooney rise to, it looked like only one team was | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
going to win the game. Luis Suarez showed why he is one of the worlds | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
best strikers. And he was injured? He wasn't sure to start. He had | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
surgery just days before start of the tournament. He was a doubt to | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
start. Certainly wasn't expected to last the entire match. It would have | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
been handy if he went off before that. I'm going to get shot down. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
You can't help thinking that if it was like the Olympics, we had Team | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
GB, rather than England, would we have... Would we be celebrating? I | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
am going to get shot down. I can only think of one other player that | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
might have got into Team GB, that wasn't English, and that is Gareth | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
Bale. Well, he's my hero. Well, I'm a Tottenham supporter, so I still | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
have good memories. One final thing, we will move on, how many more | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
world`class players have the Uruguay team got? If you take Luis Suarez | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
out? Well, you just have to go back to the first game, when he didn't | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
play. The big upset was the 3`1 defeat by Costa Rica, who were meant | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
to be the whipping boys of the group. We kind of hope they reverted | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
to type on Friday and hope that Italy breeze through their remaining | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
games. Let's go back to the Telegraph and have a look at the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
cartoon. I have to confess, I'm so ashamed of this, I had to have this | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
explained to me. I thought it was something to do... There is a | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
fridge, I thought it was something to do with NPower and electricity | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
bills. Clive was on hand to explain. A man holding his beer mug? I assume | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
he has been watching the football, he might be going to drown his | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
sorrows. His very canny wife has used a spray can to get an exclusion | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
zone around the fridge and him. This is a reference to referees in | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Brazil, armed with spray cans to mark out and make sure the defensive | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
walls are ten yards away from the ball. I think he has used the beer | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
can? I am kind of hoping so, the spray in Brazil disappears after a | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
few minutes, I hope she hasn't ruined her floor. Miliband shrugs | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
off criticism. Ed Miliband insists she can defy the odds and win next | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
make's general election. Unemployed people would not be in receipt of | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
certain benefits unless they have training, that could almost have | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
come from the coalition? That's right. In the other papers, a view | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
of the Labour bigwigs are saying, we cannot expect to win an election if | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
we are just trying to bash the poor. If we are trying to be tough | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
on welfare than anybody else, they are not sure it is the right | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
approach. What Mr Miliband was saying was, rather than giving | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
people unemployment benefits, let's give them training. Actually, I | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
think that makes sense. If you are just getting money and you haven't | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
got any skills, that is not going to get you a future. But if you are put | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
into some kind of training programme, and you are helped to go | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
back into the labour market, that is fine. One of the worries is that he | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
was talking about means testing. If your parents are well off, you will | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
not get help. If your parents aren't, you will. That creates | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
family tension. Some parents, if the kids are rebelling, they may not | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
want to support them. Is that the answer? If your kids are at home, | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
let your parents make you get a job. They are obviously not leaving the | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
house. They've got no skills, what are they going to do? Let's move on | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
to the business pages of the Telegraph. The story has been in | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
bulletins were very much. Ofgem gets tough on NPower over Alinghi errors. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
They have been told they have to stop touting for new customers until | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
they sort these problems out. Apparently, one in every four NPower | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
customers are complaining. Bank accounts are being debited with | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
direct debits that other wrong amount. Why don't they leave? It's | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
easy to move? My experience of NPower, it isn't. I used to be one | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
of their customers, and I did what you suggested, it takes ages before | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
you actually start getting connected to another supplier. If you have | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
been wrongly billed, you want the money back? I changed again, not too | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
long ago, before Christmas. I have only just received, and this is not | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
with NPower, I have only just received my first bill. It is not | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
just them, it seems to be the big six. They are saying that customers | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
trying to phone them up are being kept on hold for over an hour, who | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
has time for that? The These watchdogs get a lot of criticism. | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
They are toothless and have no say. Does this sound quite promising to | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
you that Ofgem have grasped the nettle? You hope so. You hope they | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
might be an element of things are so bad even the regulators sit up and | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
takes notice. It is essential that customers know the regulators are | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
going to help sort out things like this. You cannot have big companies | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
debiting huge amounts from your account and not servicing you, not | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
answering the Fife`I have therefore we have time for this error. Fife `` | :16:03. | :16:17. | |
stay with us. Coming up next, it is time for, I believe, Sportsday from | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Brazil. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. | :16:20. | :16:41. | |
Wayne Rooney gets his first England World | :16:42. | :16:42. |
