10/08/2014 The Papers

Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are James Rampton, features writer for The Independent,

An oversight that you end it did not coordinate outfits. I apologise.

The Express leads with news of a breakthrough

The Metro reports on claims of atrocities in Iraq carried out

The Telegraph has a picture of a Yazidi woman cradling her child

The story to the right focuses on Government plans to clamp

down on trusts designed to avoid inheritance tax.

The Guardian says at least half of the 40,000 people besieged

by jihadists in northern Iraq have escaped in the past 24 hours,

aided by Kurdish rebels who crossed from Syria to rescue them.

The Mail says the number of foreign criminals avoiding

Kellie Maloney is on the front of the Mirror, talking about her

Maloney is on the Sun's front page too.

And the Independent reports on claims that women

and children have been buried alive by Islamists in Iraq.

We will begin with that story. Women and children are buried alive,

Islamic extremists putting 500 people in mass graves in Iraq. Just

when you thought you could not read about any more atrocities, here we

have this story, which as you are reading it, you cannot believe what

you are seeing. Shocking is a word overused in journalism, but it

really does apply. I was astounded when I read the details of this. 500

people, including women and children, with 300 women allegedly

kidnapped and sent into slavery, and 1500 UCD is still stuck on this

mountain. They are at risk from the elements. `` Yazidis. It is

extraordinary what they are going through. I am glad we're doing

something about it. I think more must done. These people don't have

an army. The very fact that the Kurdish rebels have come across the

mountains, and other persecuted race of people, but now they have their

own territory, they can assist. And the fact that these people felt the

best option for them was to run to Mt. No food and no water. `` Mt. It

is a measure of the peril they face. The sun is punishing. Even if the

jihadist I get them, the elements will. That is why we need to do

something quickly. It is a true catastrophe. The Mac when you see

things like this, why are people not stepping in? By a then not

coordinating this effort? That is what they are there for. Iraq has

asked the USA for help, and many people in Iraq, although they think

America is to blame for the mess the Iraqis in politically, they are at

least coming to the rescue they asked them to do so. The issue is we

have a league of Arab nations that need to stand up for what is right

about is line and put that forward. This is not that is not Islam I

know. The jihadist what they are doing, we need people drawn from the

locality to support these people. They need to stepping from the area.

They don't need to call on a bummer to sort out this mess. The Iraqi

army has not stood up to the March of the Islamic State. `` President

Obama. The peshmerga seemed to be doing a better job. We saw a

peshmerga commander saying we do need the UN, and the president said

he would not be a matter of weeks but months. He is a loosely

unwilling to get involved in a boots on the ground operation, that

dreaded word mission. George W Bush catastrophe years ago is again

hanging over him. But something must be done. That is a terribly glib

phrase, but something must be done. It is the horror in hell of being

buried alive. We as a people and nation have to step in and do

something. Once it happens once, it can happen again. Let's move on to

the Daily Express. A bit more cheerful, at least. I don't seem to

have this on the right order in my stack. I am not very organised. I

know what the story is. Boris Johnson, I became a to besmirch it

is of being Prime Minister. Shock horror. `` a Mayor to boost my

chance. I know people in Henley were crying when he came to be the London

mayor, but the issue is that Boris always had this plan. Do you know

that for a fact? Have you chatted to him personally? Unfortunately for

the other candidates that are eyeing up the big seat, he has laid down

the gauntlet. He is not without being prone to saying the wrong

thing. Any other politician, that would've been a career ending

incident. He just once on and keeps going on, impervious to any

criticism. `` Swans on. Whenever issues you may have with these

policies, you have to say he is the most fantastic self publicist, and

that may be why 34% of Tories believe he should be the next Tory

leader. 19 points ahead of Theresa May, who was the previous favourite.

She has blown `` been blowing out of her shoes. He was asked what he had

voters may, and he said you have to keep showing relentless energy. He

is bringing the game of brains back to Westminster. `` game of thrones.

He would be on in international stage on a daily basis. This is my

personal opinion, but I think he has not convinced me he has the

responsibility and Gravett is for that job. The idea of him with his

finger on the nuclear button terrifies me. Lots of people love

him. `` repeaters. Adobe key is a potential Prime Minister. A

watermelon smile. I will say no more. Let's look at the Daily

Telegraph. An interesting story. People to pay in intelligence tax

was still living. It is a new drive to avoid tax avoidance planning,

when people try to reduce the impact of inheritance tax before they die,

and in assets over to their children. We will cut to the

legality in a minute. I'm sure you can enlighten us. I'm glad we have a

boy here. It would bring in a few quid to the Treasury. `` more you.

Perhaps be this headline, it is a good PR move by NHMRC, because it

was a huge funeral a few months back about Gary Barlow and other

celebrities allegedly using these tax shelter schemes, and I think

that created a lot of bad feeling that rich people were apparently

able to dodge some aspects of taxation, and to avoid things that

other people weren't able to avoid. That was certainly the perception.

Whether that was true or not, I don't know. Knowing this down is a

good idea, because it will really convince people they are trying to

do something about it. `` nailing this down. The Mac before you die,

you hand over the keys to your house to your child, but if you die within

seven years, you are caught by this new rule anyway. Lee Mack the best

thing about it, it will stop that, seek on hand over the keys to your

house, and if you die within seven years, it they will catch you. They

will lengthen that time. Doing have to pay market rates rent to your

children if you want to carry on living in a house having handed the

keys over? You died. Anyone in their 50s or a bit younger, they need to

start handing over those houses a bit earlier. For how much longer?

We're not sure. They are trying to close the loophole. If you handed

over as a gift, you will be trapped. White baby a clever tax consultant

who will get around the law? `` won't there be. We were told not to

drink two days in a row last week. Now they are suggesting that wine,

beer and spirits should have a health warning put on them

compulsorily, like on cigarette packets. Doesn't really work? A lot

of people have given up smoking, haven't they? In Australia, there is

evidence that the graphic pictures of lung damage they put on the front

of packages did help, but adds to this general sense of a nanny state,

and the things we are not allowed to do. I know it is an extremely prop

`` big problem, and the figures for alcohol abuse are shocking. Liver

disease amongst under 30s doubled. ?21 billion is the cost to the

economy. Those are shocking figures. Has an part of the problem being the

legislative change that brought in broader jinking hours, because I

remember you could not buy alcohol on a Sunday. `` drinking hours.

Perhaps those hours have contributed. How much is being made

from the tax on alcohol? It is the collateral damage from the issue of

sobriety. It is the domestic violence. It is the drink`driving.

It is the general degrading. We think it is a bit of a laugh, having

one too many? Lee Mack and especially the girls, Winer o'clock

going around Twitter. We know the tobacco lobby has been fighting

against plain packaging and so forth. It may well be that the

drinks lobby will step in and try to influence the government not to put

these warning on, because they want to sell more of their products. At

this moment in time, I think it is a step too far. Maybe looking at how

history will go with these under 30s and whether they will be dead by 50,

we may have to step in with proper legislation. More foreign convicts

win the right to stay. It is the number of foreign criminals avoiding

deportation rose 50% last year despite repeated pledges by the

government to kick them out. The trouble with these is if they are

winning the right to stay, citing their human rights to a family life,

laws apply to everyone, don't they? Is irrespective of whether you

committed a crime or not. The issue is deciding how foreign are they?

Add AEEU National 's who have been hearing in caught doing the wrong

thing, and have the right to stay? `` are they EU nationals? Or are

they from the Commonwealth, from Jamaica? That has been a problem in

the past. Or are they polished? We don't know, and again in the Daily

Mail, the idea of foreign. raise a lot of questions. The other

is the European kon European Convention on Human Rights. I think

UKIP is very anti`that as well. It may be another that the Tory

backbenches are rumbling about. This is an issue that the Tories will

have to appear tough. It is a get`tough`issue for them. That is it

for the papers this hour. If you have a comment you want to make, we

launched by America against Islamic militants in Iraq. Coming up next,
