thunderstorms from time to time. More details on the weekend on the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |

We had Randeep Ramesh, social affairs editor for the Guardian, and | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
Daisy McAndrew, the broadcaster. Tonight, on the Daily Express, the | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
story about tighter aviation security internationally. The Metro | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
talks about a multi`million pound lottery scam. The Guardian talks | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
about bringing large sections of the rail network back under British | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
control. The main picture on the Daily Mail of the Canadian tennis | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
player, Bouchard, celebrating winning her semi`final at Wimbledon. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
The i says that extra security checks at airports are likely to | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
become permanent. Hammers on's tax affairs are being handed over, | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
according to the Financial Times. The Scotsman reports on a funding | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
boost that is promised to Glasgow if they vote against independence. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Let's begin with the bomb plot we have been hearing about all day. It | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
is on the front of the Daily Mirror. . | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
There is an x`ray, as most airports can do. This man is meant to be Al | :01:43. | :02:00. | |
Qaeda's top bomb maker. At the moment we are not seeing delays, but | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
there is a heightened sense of awareness about this new kind of | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
bond that is pretty much invisible to import equipment. It has been | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
doing the rounds for a few years, they must have a credible threat on | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
which they are acting. There was a delay of about an hour at | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Manchester, perhaps that is just normal. This chap has been making | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
this stuff for a couple of years, and attempted to blow up a Saudi | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Prince by surgically implanting explosives into his brother. It is | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
terrifying, on the face of it. But we still wait for any of this | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
stuff... We don't want this stuff to happen, but it is a kind of threat | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
with evidence. Whether that is credible or not, the jury is out. If | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
we do see increased delays, which my understanding is, there are two | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
types of bombs that authorities are concerned about. New types of bombs, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
either embedded within the body, which is why we might be subjected | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
to these full body scanners, or in laptops. A new type that can't be to | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
take it, and apparently security officials are already been told to | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
turn every laptop on and off as it goes through security. That would | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
clearly increased the delay timers become up to the biggest and busiest | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
summer holiday time. I'm sure the threat is there, as the Daily Mirror | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
says, from jihadis, but it also seems convenient that we are hearing | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
a lot of stories about British kids over there who might be coming home, | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
and the stories seem to be, these other men, these are the terrorists | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
who were hiding bombs in their bodies somewhere. It is connecting | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
what is going on there with security here. Isn't one of the suggestions | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
for why it is happening now that this bomb maker has recently pledged | :04:13. | :04:25. | |
allegiance to this new caliphate, these Islamists who are running | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
rampant across Syria and Iraq. He is part of their picture, they have | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
extra capabilities and could wreak havoc here, not just in the Middle | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
East. ISIS emerged, the sky is in Yemen, and there is supposed to be a | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
deal done. It seems far`fetched to suggest that it has already reached | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
British jihadis fighting in Syria and Iraq, and they will return to | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
fight in the UK. There are hundreds of people who have gone from this | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
country to join what is happening in Syria, perhaps intending for it to | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
be an humanitarian effort, then they get sidetracked. A lot of them are | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
going to come home, is it not reasonable to assume that a small | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
proportion of them may use their newfound skills in a way we don't | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
want them to. I think they would surely want to, but whether they are | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
in the kind of league... He is the Western world's number one terrorist | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
bogeyman. The CIA thought they had killed him half a dozen times, but | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
then he would pop up again and it wasn't him they had killed. He is a | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
very special character, and the idea that a lot of the foot soldiers | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
would have any connection with him is strange. But the threat must be | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
real, or they wouldn't be putting extra measures in unless they want | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the publicity for some other reason that we don't know about. Fury as | :05:55. | :06:11. | |
banks and Wonga are sending debt collection threats. There is no | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
suggestion that banks are hiding behind third party names and sending | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
threatening letters to customers. It seems that a lot of the banks what | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
they do say is that it was clearly printed in the small print that | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
these companies whose names or no relation to the banks or energy | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
companies who were using them to threaten people and get them to pay | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
up. They do say it was there in the small print, but why make up names? | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
Stirling Collection was Scottish Power. You wouldn't think that these | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
were the legal departments of the companies involved, you would assume | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
that your case had been referred to a debt collector, and that suddenly | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
you would get a bang on the door, that your credit rating might be | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
going through the floor. You would be very frightened. Barkley say they | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
have now dropped the pretence, Lloyds have said they are phasing | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
out there name of their solicitors, and Scottish Power have said it was | :07:21. | :07:32. | |
in the small print. `` Barclays Bank. You can't think they were | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
still in that we face. What I find extraordinary is that they know how | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
unpopular they are. Since the credit crunch, both energy companies and | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
banks, they have been public villains. Most chairmen that I have | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
interviewed have admitted they have a trust issue. We understand that we | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
have to get that trust back for our customers. You think, wouldn't you | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
do a root and branch? All departments tell me if there is | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
anything... I think we just object to them making money. There is a | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
perception we are being squeezed by energy companies as gas budgets fall | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
in our bills go up, or banks try to recover their bad landing on the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
backs of honest borrowers. And that there has been endless dishonesty. I | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
think it is fair to target them for that. Let's move on. If the Scots go | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
it alone will be heartbroken, says the PM. He has been speaking in | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Perth today, 76 days tomorrow until the referendum on Scottish | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
independence. Tugging on the heartstrings and a little sweetener | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
of ?500 million for Glasgow if they vote to stay with the union. They | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
have lost a lot of the arguments with the Scots. Rory Stewart, who is | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
a Borders MP for the Tories, and now chairman of the first Select | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Committee, actually said this. We have to use the argument of love, | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
because we love them and we don't want them to go. He should be | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
heartbroken, because he might not be a PM. He won't just be heartbroken, | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
he'll be unemployed as well! You can't go to the Queen and say, I've | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
lost Scotland, and survive! If it was a yes vote, David Cameron would | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
not be able to stay as leader of the party and as PM, but ironically the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Conservative party will be bolstered, because they will have | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
lost Scotland, where they have no votes. Labour will have lost | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Scotland where they have many votes. Many MPs are saying, it is | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
extraordinary, everyone would lose. David Cameron would lose short`term, | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
the Tories would win in the long`term. On the playground figures | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
have changed, the emphasis has switched in the last few years. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Social networking sites are the most common places that children are | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
bullied. It is all hidden away, and parents and teachers are not | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
necessarily aware of it. It is a phenomena and at the age, isn't it? | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Children spend all this time interacting with these machines | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
which allows them to interact with their friends, rather than | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
interacting with their friends. To be bullied face`to`face. The last | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
time I looked, I think Facebook was falling down the rankings. It is a | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
bit pase, because your parents are on it! I did a big piece last year | :10:37. | :10:48. | |
about teenage depression, and social networking was part of this. They | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
have to create this perfect world they live in, with thousands of | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
friends that they don't even know. It is this online perfect world but | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
it bears no relation to their reality. The Guardian. State bid for | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
rail franchises is under late. Contracts are up for renewal, Andy | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
suggestion that the state could take on parts of the rail network. There | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
could be a staggered return to renationalisation. We don't want it | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
to look like British rail used to. I think actually most people have | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
forgotten how awful British Rail was. Rail lines and rail services | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
are massively better than they ever have been before. But not perfect. | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Not perfect by any stretch. Daily commuters will be testifying to | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
that. But what sticks in the throat of many politicians and civil | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
servants is that there is all that money swirling around, going into | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the private hands, and it could be going into the Treasury coffers. It | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
would be popular with the unions, I'm not sure how realistic it is. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Would it be popular with voters? Know, and I think it would probably | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
dampen some of the Labour argument. It is very popular with Tory voters, | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
surprisingly. Ed Miliband has had this record playing for some time | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
about how it is absurd that foreign companies here making big profits | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
from reddish rail passengers `` British. Of course, he can point at | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
the massive mess up that transport made two years ago. Something good | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
came out of it, because the east coastline is now doing well, better | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
than it was predicted to do. A Labour Party spokesman has said we | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
will set out our policy at the appropriate time. We have always | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
been clear we want a good deal for the fare payer and the taxpayer. The | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
two aren't necessarily the same. People who never use the trains | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
might think, why on earth should we be effectively subsidising rail | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
networks that we don't use? We all do that anyway, so we might get | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
something back. It sticks in the throat, not just that we could get | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
something back, but foreign governments are all getting money | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
out of British Railways and British people buying their tickets. So you | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
can see this sense of it, but as you were saying, it does muddy the | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
message of Labour trying to get votes. Here we have, a banker pays | :13:55. | :14:07. | |
Tories a large amount of money for a game with the PM and Mayor. This is | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
a way of giving the party some money. It is a curious story, | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
because they were issuing so many denials through the day, until | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
finally they admitted it was the banker wife of the former Russian | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
deputy finance minister who paid the money. It adds to this swirl of | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
Russian money around the Conservative party. Ill`advised | :14:36. | :14:44. | |
friends. Is she a reporter? One of the problems that politicians and | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
reporters get themselves into, is denying that part of it is true. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
There is the impression that it is not true. It was this man's wife, | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
and they denied that, she made a big donation. If you buy something in an | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
auction, this not count as an ordinary donation? Is that not a way | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
to get around the donation rules? This raised about ?1 million last | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
year, this kind of thing, so ?160,000 seems quite a lot. That is | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
the Papers for this evening. And you to our guests, Daisy McAndrew and | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
Randeep Ramesh. We will be looking at the danger facing the US borders | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
as it warns of a credible terrorist threat. Now, it is time for World | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Cup Sportsday. | :15:48. | :15:50. |
