30/06/2014 The Papers

rain in the north`west of Scotland by the end of the day, that will

push further southwards, threatening rain in the south`east in time for

the weekend. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Eleanor

Mills, Editorial Director of The Sunday Times and Owen Jones, the

author and columnist for The Guardian. Pretty much all of the

front pages are in. Both have a look at them now. `` let's have a look. A

police mugshot of Rolf Harris dominates the front page of the

Telegraph. The veteran entertainer been found

guilty of 12 charges of indecently assaulting four girls.

The Metro says some of Rolf Harris's crimes took place while he was

fronting a campaign to raise awareness about child abuse.

The Guardian shows a picture of Harris leaving court with his

family, after hearing the guilty verdicts. The Express also shows the

police picture of Rolf Harris. That picture's also on the front of The

Mail. The Independent shows Rolf Harris

with his self`portrait, alongside the caption Portrait of a Predator.

The Financial Times says bankers at BNP Paribas are facing pay cuts,

after it agreed to pay a fine of around $9 billion for breaking

sanctions laws. The Times leads on an opinion poll

by YouGov for the paper on voting intentions in Scotland's

independence referendum. We are going to start with the Daily

Mail. For 50 years, the face of wholesome family TV. Now we know the

truth about Rolf Harris. A story about another man with power and

prestige, the national sweetheart who used his celebrity not only to

gain access to people he abused, but to protect himself on the basis that

no one would ever be able to come forward. If we look at the horror of

the incidents he was involved with, the fact that it would happen in

public, where he would us all people as young as eight years old and act

as though nothing happened. What is important that has come out of this

is the sense that, however powerful people are, however much prestige

they have to their name, people can come forward. That is important,

this Operation Yewtree has had its critics, saying it is in the past

and they have been other incidents where people have been found not

guilty, it is estimated that 400,000 women are sexually assaulted each

year, 80,000 women are raped. Very few and up with guilty convictions.

Many people don't come forward. If anything comes out of this, this is

what has been set by the prosecution, that people will be

able to come forward. This is another horrific example following

Jimmy Savile and others using power and prestige. Operation Yewtree came

out of the investigation into Jimmy Savile and was widened and as a

result the net was thrown across a number of people who were very high

profile for a number of years. That sings in for a lot of people as

well, that these people they grew up with on TV, people like Rolf

Harris, who were a staple in households up and down the country,

were actually hiding something much darker behind`the`scenes. It was

Rolf Harris, Max Clifford, Stuart Hall, I think what I find

interesting is that I hope the sexual mores have changed enough

that people would speak out against those kind of president is now. It

is about deference and a match Okore cha, it was about stars who seemed

to be above everything `` culture. What is heart`wrenching is the

stories about the victims. The tabloids are doing Jimmy Savile and

Rolf Harris and how they went together to Broadmoor, they used to

watch women are dressing and so on. There may have been some collusion

going on, which sounds grim. There is a sense that these men thought

they were entirely above the law, omnipotent, they absolutely used

their power over people to get their way for a long time. What is awful

is the tales from the victims. There is a brave Australian woman called

Tonia, who waved her anonymity to speak about it and she speaks about

being 15, sitting on his lap and what he did with other people

around. It is the brazenness of it. This man assaulted his 13`year`old

daughter's best friend while she is lying next to him. He revelled in

the power that he could do this in plain sight and no one would pass

him. It must have been an amazing power rush for him. `` bust him.

That is why justice is so important. It is why I hope people no one feels

they are above the law. If we go to the times. Rolf Harris has 40 years

of depravity `` Rolf Harris's. Eating up on the point made, and the

point made by the public prosecution, who helped bring the

charges against Rolf Harris, he made the point that no one is above the

law `` bringing up on the point. Hopefully, the sexual mores have

changed and developed and hopefully, no one in a position of fame or what

ever will feel they can get away with it. If only things have

changed. Statistics show it is the case that most people sexually ``

who are sexually assaulted are raped come forward and very few get guilty

verdicts. Is that due to the police? It is, yes. The possessions

of these massive cases are changing. `` perceptions. What is it they

discovered about Jimmy Savile? People saying, he did it to me also.

They could not do that while he was alive, which is awful. The

floodgates have opened. I don't think someone would reckon they

could get away with this. You disagree? That has to be the hope.

We have moved on from this narrative and this commentary but there were

some critics of Operation Yewtree who said this was in the past. A

sense people pushing of false accusations, how the real victims

are the people who were falsely accused. Who were all represented by

Max Clifford, one of the worst ringleaders. The point that we

should focus on is that there are so many people in this country who are

victims of sexual violence who never get justice. That is why these cases

are important. All of us, let's be honest, saw this today and instantly

a lot of us thought, my word, that is part of my childhood. A cultural

violation of everyone. That is what protected these people in the first

place. Rolf Harris? The beloved artist. He couldn't do something

like this. He draws bunny ears and animals. Rape is always about

power. It isn't about lust or Selt shall attraction. It is totally

about power. `` sexual attraction. These people know they have this

power that they can wield. That is how they get a kick out of it. It is

frightening. We need to look broader, beyond the celebrities. It

was a culture in which old, powerful men had a sense of themselves about

`` around the women around them. You hear the narrative about men not

being safe in taxis and that it was up to women to deal with it and

fight them off. There is a shift in the society now. Everyday sexism,

pointing this out. There is much more of a sense that women are more

empowered. If anything comes out of it, it has to be a good thing. Those

campaigns are hugely inspiring initiatives. What they do show

is... How prevalent it is. The objectification of women by men.

That is why we cannot separate rape from the broader sense. It is the

case in society that women are treated as sexual objects to exist

for the gratification of men, which we need to fight. It is almost

becoming worse. Internet porn and the extreme varieties of VAT, which

are so available everywhere and two very young kids, is fuelling the

worse objectification of women that we have seen `` varieties of that.

We must be aware of that and campaigned against it. Let's move on

to the Guardian. The bottom they are, Israel says Hamas will pay

after teenagers are found dead. The voice of Israeli people will be for

the call for some kind of military response to the discovery these

three teenagers kidnapped weeks ago have been found dead. How awful for

the families, that they have been found dead and they are so young.

Missing while hitchhiking back from school. At the centre of that is a

real human tragedy. There will be far more tragedy because what always

seems to happen in Israel is that you get a terrible thing will happen

and Israeli authorities say it was Hamas already and 500 people have

been rounded up and there have been raids. What has been clear from

Netanyahu and the economy minister, they say that now is the time to act

and there will be reprisals against Hamas and Palestinians who are seen

as the people who killed these children. It is awful for the

Israeli families. There has to be a fear of a wider conflation, more

hostility, horrible things happening. We have the caliphate

announced by ISIS. Terrible things going on in Syria and Iraq, it is

depressing. A word we will hear a lot of his proportionality and what

kind of response is warranted from Israel, who claim that it is Hamas

who are responsible for the deaths of these teenagers `` is

proportionality. These deaths are horrific and sickening crimes which

have torn entire families apart and have provoked a huge emotional

reaction. We must learn about five Palestinians have been killed as a

response to raids which followed the disappearance of these three lads

who have been murdered horribly. We have five people dead, life is our

life and death is a death. The danger is collective punishment that

might follow the deaths of these young teenagers. That there won't be

a proportionate response. Everyone will support justice. Those

responsible must be taken to justice. Where you have a Nokia

nation that remains and is a illegal under international law, where you

have Israel committing, in response to other acts of disproportionate

responses, where innocent people die, the danger is that these wind,

the five Palestinians who have died in the three young teenagers who

have been killed, that will not be the only death we see. If there is a

disproportionate response, it will end in the deaths of people on both

sides, which we need to be levelheaded about, because the

danger is now, in Israel, there will be such an emotional response it

will be manipulated to support that angle. It has been said already

there needs to be a widespread operation to eradicate Hamas. Israel

claimed that Hamas are responsible and claim they have evidence they

are responsible. Is the evidence is there that Hamas leadership is

connected with what happened? From this story, there don't seem to be,

and from what one reads in the paper, it does not seem to be this

person was ordered by this Hamas commander to do this. You would

wonder why Hamas would order the execution of three young Israeli

boys. They know what is likely to come down on them from the Israeli

army if that was the case. Why would you do it? I think it is incredibly

sad and awful and it will be even more horrible violence. Israeli

intelligence say they have the names of the people involved. There needs

to be a proper judicial response. Due process. Not collective

punishment where it innocent civilians die. It has already

happened as a result. That never happens in Israel. You get a tribal

setting up against each other, in a place that is already full of

inflamed tension. Let's go on to the Sun, the back page. Mr Suarez. I am

sorry. In brackets they have, can I join Barcelona now? This guy has

beaten three members of opposing teams over the last three years.

Three! This is the first time he has apologised. Why? He wants to go to

Spain. He accidentally fell over and his teeth happened to collide with

an innocent shoulder. Normal rough and tumble of a contact sport. Would

you believe that if your kids at that? Did you read the statement?

What appears to have happened is the man happens to have been bitten as I

passed him. Today, he says he did it. That's what it says in the

statement. The rumours are this is his attempt to get to Barcelona.

Unless he apologises, psychologist has said that if he has beaten

someone already, he will do it again. There is something clearly

going on. There are other controversies. It is weird to go

around biting. Zombielike response. Let's not discuss his mental state

to note. It will take too long. The Daily Telegraph. `` tonight. You

aren't selling it to me, we aren't interested. I am sorry, this is a

massive story. The Daily Telegraph said, so much for summer, autumn is

here already. This hinges on beech nuts and butterflies which are

already here. And, raspberries are out early. My mum is making jam.

That is the kiss of death. The barbecue summer. The Express rarely

get it wrong. Analysis shows. I don't think it feels autumnal. It is

a typical summer. It definitely cannot reign. You are in trouble,

love. Many thanks. Much appreciated. Stay with us. We will have more of

the fallout from the guilty verdicts against Rolf Harris, guilty

of indecently assaulting four girls and women. Now, it is time for World

Cup Sportsday.
