Welcome to look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
Welcome to my guests. Tomorrow's front pages. Starting with the | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Telegraph. The crisis in Iraq is the main story. It has an interview with | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
the former head of the CIA. The government claims new rules | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
introduced could prevent conservative Muslims from being | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
trustees of schools. The Financial Times says new IT | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
systems have brought some departments in Whitehall to a | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
virtual standstill. Faces painted with the expressions | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
of the English bands on the front of the Times. Glum, after their key | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
World Cup game loss. Luis Suarez console in his good | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
friend, the England captain Steven Gerard, by ruffling his hair. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
The Mail reports on a sharp rise in the cancers caused by lifestyle | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
choices like smoking and sunbaking. The Express offers some hope in the | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
fight against cancer and says vegetables like carrots could be the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
key. The Times first and its coverage of | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
the Iraq story. Just checking that I am on the same page as everybody | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
else. Of course we have been hearing from President Obama today, talking | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
about what kind of commitment the Americans can make Iraq, given this | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
march by the Sunni insurgents, ISIS. Special forces head for Baghdad as | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
US targets military action. That suggests it's a little more imminent | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
and the president said. He said, should the time the right? Now he is | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
talking in terms such as targeting and precise military action. While | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
at the same time insisting that ground action is completely out of | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
the question. It still smacks of the West going on and intervening and | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
possibly causing more friction. Difficult when Iraq asks you for | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
airstrikes, isn't it? It is but then the Iraqi government itself is going | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
to ask for any help it can, when it is facing some kind of civil | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
uprising. Problem is that we don't really know what the implications | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
are if we do go in, because we have had such bad experiences in the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
past. America we built and trained the Iraqi army. `` rebuilt. It | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
disbanded the whole thing and started training them in 2003. In | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
2011 the US pulled out. Now we are seeing the whole situation falling | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
apart. And they don't quite know how to handle it. I think the idea is | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
they are sending in military advisers, which seems... 300 of | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
them. A little bit like some ground force, to assess what targets to | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
strike, if they are going to strike. But many Arab countries are calling | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
for them not to get involved militarily. The military leaders in | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
America feel they are in the dark about this and they don't know who | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
they will be striking. It's not as if the ISIS fighters where uniform. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Exactly and that's half the problem, determining who the bad guys are in | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
this situation. Also, in aggravating the situation with neighbouring | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
countries, because, as you say, Saudi Arabia has already warned | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
against any intervention from the West. They are worried it will | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
inflame the situation even more. It is one of these awful situations. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Your natural instinct is to say, you want to help, you want to stop this. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
But maybe the main aim is to at least stop the advance of ISIS. At | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
the moment they are just cutting a swathe through lots of areas, which | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
is very scary. Very different pressures on Barack Obama from the | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Democrats and Republicans and also little appetite from other | :04:39. | :04:51. | |
countries. After the promise of no more ground action, they really | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
don't want to see them go any further. But it is difficult, as you | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
say. The problem with that is with airstrikes there's the problem with | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
the S `` with innocent victims. Michael Gove's rules could prevent | :05:06. | :05:25. | |
conservative Muslim being trustees of schools. Community leaders are | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
warning that some Watson's would effectively be part of becoming | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
trustees or governors. Is that what they want to see, really? This is in | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
the light of the Trojan horse controversy as it is being called, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
with quite conservative Muslim is having an impact in the way schools | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
are run in Birmingham. I must admit that I don't know if I'm missing | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
something here, but what he seems to be saying is that we want to make | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
sure that people who are governors of schools do are by high what he | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
calls fundamental British values. I think the word fundamental is | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
perhaps a bit unfortunate. At the actual issues that he talks about, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
respect for democracy, the law, equality, tolerance of other faith, | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
mutual respect, community service, you would have thought that surely | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
governors of schools should have those very values. And if somebody | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
doesn't have those values, should we be concerned about the education | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
provided in that school? I'm not sure that they are fundamentally | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
reddish as opposed to fundamentally values of anywhere. It is difficult | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
to know what the problem is. Maybe they are worried that people will | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
interpret these in ways that might be prejudiced against certain | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
groups. I would have thought that if people can't sign up to these basic | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
values. bar to Muslims becoming governors. | :06:50. | :07:25. | |
They want a diverse range of people from all faiths to serve in | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
governing bodies. It is right that we prevent unsuitable people from | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
becoming governors. We believe any behaviour which undermined | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
democracy, the rule of law, respect and tolerance is incompatible with | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
being a governor in a state funded school in England. As you say, that | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
seems fairly self explanatory. I would have thought that most Muslims | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
would sign up for that. Leeds if you were setting those values, what sort | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
of people are setting those values? But you can't argue with those, can | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
you? Leeds as you say, that seems fairly straightforward `` as you | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
say, that seems fairly straightforward. What is different? | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
A senior member of the Muslim Council of Britain says that as a | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
matter of principle to have so much power in this that in one hand is | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
wrong. To have so much power in any area is dangerous. He suggests there | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
needs to be a balance, a governing body in every school. But OFSTED | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
have to go and check whether this is happening. And where would they not | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
be a consensus? I'm not sure. Maybe we are missing something. May it | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
continues on page two? Moving on to the Telegraph. Ministers' passport | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
solution. Families should think about taking their summer holidays | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
in Britain in the wake of crises at the passport office. This is the | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
suggestion from the tourism Minister Helen Grant who was speaking while | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
in Brazil. Lucky her. And she is planning a holiday in Spain. So she | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
has no issues with her passport. This really gets people's backed up. | :09:08. | :09:20. | |
It really does. The tourism minister saying why don't you stay at home? | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
That is not the point. The point is that if you have walked a holiday, | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
you can't go. If you haven't booked a holiday abroad, you probably won't | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
be worried. `` booked a holiday. So people have already decided they | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
want to travel, and they can't. That is the problem. It is a classic | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
mouth before rain, note thought there at all `` mouth before brain. | :09:43. | :09:52. | |
It is true that you can have great holidays in Britain, but if you need | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
a passport... You have already bought the holiday and you want to | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
go. And disability benefits. This is not the support allowance we have | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
been talking about all day, this is a different one. This is the | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
personal independence payment which is paid to people with disabilities | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
to help them live independently. And replaces the previous allowance, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
which was the Disability Living Allowance. Apparently it is taking | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
months for people to have a decision made on their claim. It is causing | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
huge amounts of distress in the process. The Independent revealed | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
that some claimants have been forced to turn to food banks, apply for | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
loans, or rely on charity to survive. Which on top of everything, | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
you actually have to put up with in that position, it is an | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
incredible... Another example of a very hardhearted attitude. In the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
way that things are being carried out. But the number of things | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
involved in the systems which will have to change, yes, there are | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
people at the heart of this who are struggling. These reforms are never | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
quick, are they? They are always slow and cumbersome and fraught with | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
difficulties. And we have such a complex benefits system, that any | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
change you make to it throws up all kinds of goblins. You have to feel | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
for people who are already disabled, particularly ill, and being told | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
they have to wait six months. Terminally ill people having to | :11:21. | :11:32. | |
wait. `` all kinds of problems. The medical assessments are being done | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
by another body. I imagine DWP was working hard to try and improve it | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
or not but it seems to be taking time. A sharp rise in cancers caused | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
by lifestyle. The usual suspects, alcohol, obesity, sunbaking, it is | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
up to us to prevent this. I saw this at first, and I don't want to make | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
light of cancer, but it strikes me that unhealthy lifestyle will cause | :12:04. | :12:13. | |
you to become ill. Drinking, smoking... It is the fact that it is | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
only increase. We are at figures which should go down and down. But | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
how do we do this? We see with cigarettes that all sorts of efforts | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
are being made over marketing, which don't always work. Do we need to do | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
the same with alcohol and poor quality food? It sounds as if a | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
thing is becoming a problem. Liver cancer is up a 66%. Overall cancers | :12:35. | :12:48. | |
are up by 27% over ten year period. Interestingly, the North has a | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
higher incidence of cancer. There was talk yesterday about refusing | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
people treatment in A if they are drunk. All of this has invitations | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
for the NHS and what it can do. But there is only so much you can do. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
The incidence of skin cancer increased by 61%. That is going on | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
holidays in hot countries. So we should stay at home in the rain. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
Looking at the Daily Express. Carrots can fight cancer. The danger | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
is that we talk about cancer as though it is one disease and of | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
course it is many different sorts. The argument here is that there are | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
natural compounds in carrots that protect it from attack by pestilent | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
diseases, and if we could harness that, it seems, maybe it would help | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
us. It seems that these cures are a long way off. They hope that these | :13:54. | :14:05. | |
polyester `` chemicals in carrots which protect the carrot itself from | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
attack, could be used to prevent attacks from cancer type diseases in | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
humans. So let us all eat celeriac. I like those vegetables. It says | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
they are going to recruit schools of volunteers to participate in a | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
dietary trial. If you don't like carrots at the beginning, you might | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
at the end. Let us look at a miniature carousel of things. A | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
patronising ruffle of the hair by Luis Suarez. The Sun says we are | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
through, but there is a huge caveat. It says that if Italy beat Costa | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
Rica, and then we score against Costa Rica, we will be through. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Finally, the Times. Game over, it asks. How might they still make it | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
through? Leeds amazingly, if there is a chance that if they beat Costa | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
Rica, it seems a bit mad to suggest that the team could win just one | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
game and get through, but England must beat Costa Rica, and then we | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
will all be cheering on Friday that Italy do indeed beat Costa Rica and | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
that the Italians are much better at keeping Luis Suarez quiet than | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
England were tonight. Basically, Italy must go through with maximum | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
points, and England must hope that they beat Costa Rica by a handful of | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
goals. It's possible. It is possible. We have to hope. We can't | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
possibly give up now. If there is still a chance, we have to believe. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
It is time for all England fans to start praying. Towards Christ the | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
Redeemer. They have paid a lot of money to get there. We will wait and | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
see. We can only hope. We are all behind them. Thank you both, it is | :16:09. | :16:23. | |
time for World Cup | :16:24. | :16:24. |
