22/06/2014 The Papers

argued against backing Jean`Claude Juncker for the role. Kievan

Girouard says he wants more time to decide whether or not to quit

international football. `` Steven Gerrard.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

us tomorrow. With me is Martin Bentham, home affairs Editor at the

London Evening Standard and Yasmin Alibhai Brown, columnist from the

Independent. Tomorrow's front pages starting with... The Daily Telegraph

investigates football match fixing. The Financial Times is cutting the

international terrorism budget. `` features a story on the government.

The crisis in Iraq leads the Independent. The Times leads on an

NHS finance story. Also a picture of Andy Murray who will begin to defend

his Wimbledon title tomorrow. So let's begin... The Telegraph first.

This is the issue of ISIS being on the march. Yes, and they must have

known at MI6 because they watch everything and everybody. Was a

decision made or was it neglect or were they just hopeless? Even if

they knew, what could they have done? I'm not sure which one of

those it would have been but it seems to me absolutely clear that

they must've known. The Americans have been very clear in the last few

days that they need more Intel and that if they do anything, that must

be a contribution. They have only started flying drone missions to

take aerial surveillance over the last few weeks. This was five months

ago and the subtext to all of this is that the Americans don't really

want to get involved. He had been reluctant in the last few days to

have any involvement in this. I think, actually, although this was

five months ago, ISIS took over Falluja white it while ago and once

they had secured that area, obviously there was a threat of them

spreading elsewhere. What worries me is, I am a Shia Muslim and it is an

old battle that started after the Prophet died and it has reappeared

with a vengeance and that is quite frightening because as far as I'm

concerned, Muslims can be of various denominations like Christians can

but there now seems to be a concerted effort to wipe out Shia

people partly because of the bad politics in Iraq. And the bad

politics of Nouri al`Maliki. He has not been inclusive. Let's move on

and look at the Financial Times, the counterterrorism budget has been cut

to ?15 million coming up with efforts to slim down the diplomatic

service. Obviously, in the light of what is happening in Iraq and the

need for intelligence, this will be of huge concern. To be fair to the

government, the Foreign Office doesn't fund everything. It is not

the same as MI6 cutting anything, their budget is still going up. The

overseas work of MI6 will continue. But the Foreign Office has

essentially been very good at knowing these nations. There are

many people who understand the terrain and the politics and it

seems to me, if you want to cut down at the Foreign Office, these

embassies abroad, let's start with those, they are astonishing. You

don't need these palaces anymore. I think to cut down this section would

be excellent. You can't have a British embassy in a bid to break

house can you `` in a red brick house. I have been to about four or

five and they are outstanding. I have been to the one in Paris.

You're going to Wimbledon tomorrow so you can't complain. The

Guardian, Britain is my country but my son has betrayed it. This is the

father of Nasser Muthana who said that he was shocked and saddened

when he found out what happened and that his wife collapsed to the

ground. The impact that it has on families when they find out where

their children have gone to is devastating. And the wives, so many

times the wives of these young men don't know where they're going. He

could have been such a good doctor and gone to these countries and

helped. And when they come back, the fate that awaits them is pretty grim

if it can be proved that they have been involved in terrorism or gone

to a training camp. It is a maximum of ten ten years and there is a very

heavy penalty for having partaken in one of these training camps

particularly if you are filled with these weapons as they often are in

the videos. We should start on brainwashing them when they get

back. Something happens to their heads and we should be doing much

more work with them. That is obviously the key in the long run,

trying to ensure that they become normalised. We have had the effect

of Afghanistan and Iraq and so on and it has been creating a problem

for so long where you have had Cressida Dick talking about how this

problem has been around or many years `` for. I remove or steering

five years ago about how the threat from Al`Qaeda would last for years

and that was also dissipating a little bit and now we are back with

a new one. Another story in the Guardian, Torry warning of a split

with the EU as the PM enters into a row with the next commission

president. This is whether or not Jean`Claude Juncker should be the

head of the European commission. David Cameron has his suspicions and

he is not the only one who is not keen on him. The centreleft Italian

Prime Minister is not excited anyway. I think Angela Merkel is. I

think she is in a position where the cause of the largest policy being

aligned with him, I think it is suggesting that behind the scenes

she is not that happy but she is in a position where she feels she has

to do it and I think that is what this story is suggesting. David

Cameron wants to flesh out Angela Merkel and the Italian Prime

Minister and make them vote his way. If I was more committed to the

European Union as a country, I would get really fed up with us. But not

everyone across Europe is keen with what we have at the moment. I think

it needs reform but we have been so halfhearted about belonging and we

want to over exert the influence that we do have. I don't think we

should necessarily think that all of these countries are acting in a

quantitative or altruistic way. You're fighting for their own

interests. The the Independent is back to Iraq. The great unraveling

with Sunni militants seizing more towns yesterday. The West agonizes

over how to respond. Is this the unraveling of Iraq? Can it exist in

its current form or will it exist in name only? That is one of the big

questions and ISIS certainly wants to achieve the unraveling of Iraq.

You are now potentially going to have a attractive situation which

may end up resulting nothing at the end or having a Kurdish area and

then a Shia area... The boundaries were drawn in Britain. A couple of

diplomats, wasn't it? It wasn't a nation. It was made into a nation

and now it is breaking apart again and I think it is tragic. It is

tragic. Just like other parts of the world like the Balkans or the Soviet

Union, we don't have need divides between religious groups or ethnic

groups, people do have to mingle amongst each other and live together

in an ideal world, so it will not be a good situation. I am reminded of

the Sykes`Picot agreement. But it was the wife of one of the diplomats

who drew the boundaries. I am not going to argue with you. The i. This

is about the HS two. `` HS3. Should the money be spent on developing

better transport links between the northern cities? There was a big

piece recently about this whole idea of a Megan northern city linking in

all the northern cities together `` mega. There is an argument to say

that it could certainly happen. It is so expensive. It is, but then we

will have it. It is an investment, certainly. I can't see businesses

taking that big a rest but perhaps they will. It seems that all these

meta` structural things are done by governments `` businesses. Moving on

to the Times, critics predict delays due to a shortfall from cuts to the

NHS. I don't know where they're going to get the money. If. `` if.

rising demand. And in ageing population. It may be one of the

issues but we need to take about what is covered by the NHS and what

the limits are. They're not going to break up the NHS. It would absorb

any amount of money you care to throw at it. There were very big

mistakes made. It is a public and private partnership which has cost

the NHS an enormous amount of money. The central government made

those mistakes with the restructuring. Successive

governments did as well. This was Gordon Brown! It is a disaster. That

isn't the whole cause of this great black hole that is being talked

about here and there is a question about which drugs are provided and

how much everything is costing. It has to be something which is always

part of the conversation. Or whether people who drink or smoke too much

are going to be covered by our NHS system. Here is Andy Murray. I

wonder if he will be allowed to wear this particular T`shirt because they

are clamping down on what they're allowed to wear. It has to be

predominantly white. Should the standards be maintained? I think

they should. We don't want advertisers. It makes it easier for

BBC coverage. It is just wrong to be branded in this way. And visible

undergarments ring play `` during, must also be completely white. No

colourful pans. I will check tomorrow that they are wearing the

same thing. That is all for now. Stay with us here on BBC News. At

midnight ` more on the warning from the UK's most senior

counter`terrorism police officer about the threat of fighters

returning to Britain from Syria. But coming up next it's time for World

Cup Sportsday.
