Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are the barrister Sophia Cannon, and Oliver Brown, | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
chief sports feature writer from the Telegraph. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Hello. Let's have a look at the front pages. Starting with... The | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Observer. 'Triumph and Pain' is the Observer's | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
verdict on the Grand Depart first stage | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
of the Tour de France in Yorkshire. The picture of the peloton making | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
its way across Grinton Moor The Sunday Telegraph says the | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Home Office claims it has 'lost' or destroyed 114 files connected to | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
the investigation into the handling of a dossier | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
about child abuse allegations. The Mail on Sunday claims that | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
an unnamed Labour peer is being investigated by police following | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
allegations of historical abuse. The Sunday express has an interview | :01:03. | :01:15. | |
with Vanessa Feltz who claims that she was assaulted on live television | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
I Rolf Harris. Let's kick off with the Observer newspaper. This is a | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
very striking picture. We always like a fantastic picture on the | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
front page of a national newspaper but this is a cracker. I am local. | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
You can say that with pride. The way to Yorkshire is shining. Other | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
counties are available. Not at this moment in time. 2 million people | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
have turned up here all across the country, they have come to see the | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
Tour de France and it is a big success. Apart from what has | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
happened to Mark Cavendish. Look how we have presented this beautiful | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
kente. Let's hope it can come back and becomes a fixture. You never | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
know. This is pretty spectacular, isn't it? It looks like a scene from | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
Wuthering Heights. It is at times like this that Britain feels a | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
little less like an island. This Continental connection we have is | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
going crazy. It is lovely that this section of the tour was designed to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
capture Yorkshire's sense of humour. There were sheep in the fields | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
hinted yellow and they had polka`dots on them. I think there | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
was a sheep made out of cheese in Wensleydale. It was a cultural nod | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
to wear that he had taken place. Everyone is there. Wallace and | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Gromit. An inflatable Wallace and Gromit. The hope that boys. You | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
could say these are Yorkshire cliches. In terms of making | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
Yorkshire more international, are we taking Yorkshire to the world or is | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
it the other way around? This is the high`speed, this is how we do it and | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
that is the best way to be seen. Mark Cavendish. A sad end to that | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
first stage. It is not what they wanted. There are concerns he had | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
broken his collar bone but a dislocated shoulder is pretty | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
serious for a sprinter in a race like this. His assault on the green | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
jersey will be difficult to say the least. What one may consider more | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
serious news here, child abuse files lost at the Home Office, fears of a | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
cover`up. Is Sue is that there has always been a conspiracy about a | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
conspiracy. `` the issue is that. Surrounding the issue of children | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
and abuse. And it appears that despite the fact that for years | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
prominent people have been claiming this has been happening, and | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
obviously Geoffrey Dickens physically handed a dossier to a | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
government minister and that has disappeared. The other documents may | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
have also disappeared. That suggests that there was perhaps a system in | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
place to ensure that both vulnerable were not being protected. It speaks | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
to the issue of impunity. From the poorest homes we have had issues of | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
abuse in children's homes through to prep schools in the most wealthy | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
homes. This is a problem and we need to wake up to it. And an area who | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
know very well from your job in the legal profession. Our reopening a | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
canny hero that is going to proliferate? Will there be vast | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
amounts of these cases coming out? Yes. We have to open this can. The | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
way our democracy works, it is at its healthiest when we expose the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
truth and we have to have an inquiry and that is what we are good at. If | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
this was going on at the time and it was being covered up to this extent, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
what is the level of criminality involved? We must look at how we | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
have treated our children. How do we enquire into this? A full`scale | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
inquiry? I think we need a Royal Commission. It is that serious. It | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
involves those whose reach extends into the law and we have had issues | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
as to whether it extends to the House of Lords as well as the house | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
of parliament. And whether a Levenson style inquiry will work. We | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
need to have a Royal Commission. This tax into everything we have | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
heard about Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith. I don't think the public will | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
tolerate anything less than a full`scale public inquiry. It is | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
interesting that the newspaper have invoked the Hillsborough precedent | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
because that is the Hillsborough precedent because that is this date | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
it has reached. ) looks so long to get to a point where the public | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
trusted the inquiry. `` Hillsborough took so long. It is about having an | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
inquiry that public trust. I think clearly the government must realise | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
the seriousness of what they are on the cusp of. The central notion of | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
politicians, even the intimation of a cover`up is so damaging. The very | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
notion they could have harboured a piggy floor in, they will see that | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
as a long way from an allegation. The sheer gravity of that has to | :07:18. | :07:33. | |
lead... It is a depth and width gravitas. It has been undertaken in | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Canada and Australia, they have had Royal Commission is about how deep | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
this went. We have to also. It is that question of competence. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Documents being lost, and that is something that people will query. It | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
is that Richard Nixon thing, it is either a cover`up or incompetence. | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
Yes, that is the issue. We have had Operation Yewtree and that has been | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
criticised widely because it has been a witchhunt, a thorough, | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
judicial approach. The correct approach, we do not live in a | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
society where we have witchhunts, we have the rule of law and the issue | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
is, do we allow our society to be recognised as one that sweep things | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
under the carpet just because it is a difficult and even a dangerous way | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
to approach things. It is dangerous because we will have many people | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
seeing that this did not happen. We heard about Vanessa Feltz seeing | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
things happen to her live on television. It has been an issue | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
that people have been saying it has happened for years, women and | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
children, we need to have a Royal Commission. Probably what happened | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
with Jimmy Savile has profoundly changed that, we are much more in | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
claimed as a nation to believe these sorts of allegations. Yes. Jailed | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
protection is paramount. 130 MPs are supportive of the notion of a public | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
inquiry. Everything we have heard of Rolf Harris and what Vanessa Feltz | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
is claiming in the Sunday express speaks to that. `` child protection | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
is paramount. The Sunday express has covered the same story. The public | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
says the Sunday Telegraph, too complacent about terror threats in | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
the UK. Tell us a bit more about this. They are talking about the | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
technical skill to make explosive devices concealed in tablet | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
computers. We are approaching the ninth anniversary of seven slash | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
seven. `` the ninth anniversary of 7/7. Obviously barring the terrible | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
murder of Lee Rigby. Who on Earth would have thought that civilian | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
aircraft could have been used as lethal weapons in 9/11? Who would | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
have thought a soldier could be murdered so sickeningly in broad | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
daylight? The fact that so much time has elapsed should be no cause to | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
become pleasant. On the flip side, one person's too complacent is | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
another person saying, not paranoid. At the start of summer reword gently | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
mocking eyes is, they were the James Bond bag eyes in Iraq. `` by guys. | :10:49. | :11:02. | |
`` bad guys. They have got a research and development department | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
looking into ways of getting around current technology. War on terror is | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
not going to be about flying planes into buildings or leaving bombs on | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
trains, it is going to be online, digital, it is going to be on the | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
microscopic level, small, tablet computers, it is not going to be the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
large bombs, it is going to be the devilish way of getting round this | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
issue. We are going to be saying, war on terror, is there an app for | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
that? It was said that the mobile phone network was switched off when | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi gave his address in Mosul. Further down the | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
article you have Al`Qaeda's chief weapons expert, he has linked up | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
with jihadist in Syria to pass on his skills. Running bomb`making | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
workshops. Extra one hour at airports is something people will | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
accept once they hear about that. Let's look at the Mail on Sunday. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Let's go back to a sporting theme. There are not that many famous | :12:21. | :12:32. | |
Eugenies in the world. She got to the final of Wimbledon. She got | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
annihilated. Yes. I was on Centre Court this afternoon, she was | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
obliterated. And Vince is Eugenie actually turned up. `` kept Max. She | :12:44. | :12:55. | |
said earlier this week it would be amazing to meet the Princess she was | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
named after. The royal presence did not bring her much luck. `` Princess | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Eugenie. It was the shortest Wimbledon final for 31 years. 55 | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
minutes. I know. It is almost as if the god of sport is not listening to | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
how things should go. It would have been a dream final if she pulled it | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
out of the bag. And her twin sister is called Beatrice. Her mother must | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
be a fan of the Royal Family. It was horrific to watch. The Duchess of | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
Cambridge was at the Tour de France. It is never a bad thing, for oils to | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
associate with big sporting occasions. They are young and | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
vibrant and they are the best of British. They are pulling out what | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
we do best, World Cup, cricket, all of the big tournaments. They seem to | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
be bad luck, though! The Duke and Duchess turning up for Andy Murray's | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
quarterfinal exit and then Mark Cavendish's crash. You can probably | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
draw a parallel about anybody, if they had turned up and Andy Murray | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
had won in straight sets, you would say it was despite them. Thank you | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
both very much indeed for a moment. You'll both be back at 11.30 | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
for another look at the stories Coming up next, | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
it's time for Reporters. Hello and welcome to Reporters. I'm | :14:28. | :15:11. | |
