commentator. And we have the start of the capital | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
one cup. That is all in Sportsday. Welcome to our lookahead at what the | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
papers will be bringing us tomorrow morning. With me are the FT's Deputy | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
political editor Beth Rigby and John Kampfner, director of the creative | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
industries Federation. The Telegraph leads with the news that trials are | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
under way on a new drug that would allow damaged hearts to recover | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
without the need for major surgery. A migration warning in the Express, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
that claims thousands are massing to cross the Channel. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
The Guardian says that Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al`Maliki appears to | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
have lost his job in the wake of jihadists sweeping across the north | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
of the country. A story we've been covering this | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
evening on the News Channel ` the woman who's baby buggy was swept | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
onto the tube lines ` is the image that dominates the front of The | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Metro. And the same image on the front of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
The Mail. You can see some stills. The paper also claims the Human | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Rights Act allowed judges, they say, to make up the law. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
The crisis in Iraq dominates the front of The Times, which says armed | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
RAF aircraft will be assisting the US in their operations in the north | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
of the country. More Iraq in The Mirror with a plea | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
from the refugees fleeing the Islamists in IS saying "Save Us". | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
And also on the front of the independent. An image of Yazidis | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
fleeing the jihadists with the paper saying the country is descending | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
into chaos as Britain prepares to intervene. Let us begin with the | :01:44. | :01:59. | |
times. And what it has to say about Britain's role, potentially | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
expanding role, in Iraq. The story tonight from the UK's perspective is | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
the UK are sending fighter bombers to actually drop aid. The government | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
line is holding at the moment. At this time, they do not anticipate | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
any military intervention beyond humanitarian aid. They are also | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
giving assistance to the US in terms of surveillance. John, do you think | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
that can hold given the pressure was to ``? . | :02:39. | :02:51. | |
There are MPs, particularly those Christian, saying our brothers and | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
sisters of the faith are being slaughtered. We know how reluctant | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Parliament was to get involved in Syria. And also, the convention in | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Parliament is for any boots on the ground anyway, there must be a | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
recalling of Parliament. That is something the Prime Minister will be | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
reluctant to do. There is still some milage to go with President Obama | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
and his statement this evening. It was not ready in the American | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
population at all. `` readying. Your instinct is the UK would not jump | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
ahead of the United States? We did in Libya, but it was cleared with | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the Americans. It was planned for quite sometime, the contingency. The | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
jury is out. That is polite. Libya has gone down pretty fast since | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
then. Afghanistan was anything but a success. We know the consequences of | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
Iraq. The instinct to intervene is quite understandable. It is quite | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
legitimate. Then what? And you end up owning it if you do intervene. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Let us look at your paper, the Financial Times. It has Iraq stuffed | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
dominating the Financial Times. It is not just holding back the Islamic | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
State fighters, it is the government appears to be at war with itself. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
This is the developing story tonight. You saw that with the | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
statement from Obama. He talks about the changes in Iraq. Nouri | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
al`Maliki, the Prime Minister, has been replaced by the Deputy Speaker. | :04:54. | :05:07. | |
He was educated in Manchester. The issue that the FT are raising is | :05:08. | :05:20. | |
whether or not this is an emerging political crisis. Nouri al`Maliki | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
says he does not want to go. The issue is whether he has any sway | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
with the militarily. Militia groups have been mobilised on the streets. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
There are fears he might use force to retain leadership. There is an | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
increased security presence on the streets of a date. `` Baghdad. What | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
is worrying about this, Obama in the statement talked about inclusive | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
government. People in Iraq would argue the sectarian nature with | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
which Nouri al`Maliki ruled Iraq has given space for this insurgency. We | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
have got the picture on the front cover. Let us look at the caption. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Yazidis fleeing. It is interesting, we have this patchwork of different | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
interests in Iraq. It has always been there. Part of the Constitution | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
was trying to stitch it together. With all the external pressures, | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
never mind the political one, the stitching is coming to part. `` | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
apart. That is one of the unintended consequences of the military | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
intervention. If you go across the Middle East, the most unpleasant, | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
vicious, Thai radical dictators, whether you are talking about Saddam | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
Hussein, Hosni Mubarak, Bashar al`Assad in Syria, they kept all the | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
sectarian divides together, simply by having a police state and killing | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
or putting in prison anybody who caused any trouble. Once the genie | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
is out of the bottle, this is the consequence. It takes decades, it | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
will take decades of nationbuilding. Moving on to | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
domestic news with the Guardian. Interesting story. This is the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Labour Party trying to take the initiative on education. Giving some | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
people sleepless nights. Parents. Your daughter is waiting for her | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
results? You will be interested in this. The Labour Party saying, | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
contrary to Michael Gove's plans to scrap AS`level is, it wants to | :08:02. | :08:14. | |
retain them? I think the idea of, I went through, everything hinges on | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
the final bit. It does not suit some people. I thought we had moved on. I | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
am interested in what appears to be them being quite cautious. This is | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
probably one of those stories where they will accentuate what they will | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
do and play down what they will leave alone. There are some elements | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
of the reform that they will keep. But everything depends on the final | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
call. There are many 17 and 18 `year`olds to develop at such | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
different cases. `` pieces. There is the idea that the AS`level was | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
thought to be better for those pupils who might not otherwise get | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
to higher education. That is something people recruiting for | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
universities and other institutions have valued. That might be lost. We | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
are seeing a shrinking of university places anyway. A worry for those | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
parents who may have children of that age in a few years. Labour | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
placed the stories in the Guardian because they are pushing an open | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
door. The point that you raised, this is cutting social mobility. It | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
is a regimented, Victorian system where children who take longer to | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
develop or children who are more disadvantaged are being shut out | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
before they even have a chance to have a go. I think it is very | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
politically, labour are going to go big on education into the election. | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
Not least because Michael Gove has become so toxic in some quarters, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
particularly with the teachers, that he has been shuffled out of his job. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
He is the leading reformist of the Tories. Even if Labour do not win | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
the next election, we have had as much reform as we can take for now? | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
The other thing that is interesting where the Tories want to go, | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
although Michael Gove has been controversial, what public policy | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
can they really go on? They cannot do the NHS. They are not strong on | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
the NHS. David Cameron tied into the aspirational nation stuff. | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
Moving on to the Daily Mail. The story about the buggy being swept | :11:07. | :11:15. | |
onto the tracks. Amazing pictures. Police want people to say, it is | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
dangerous to jump on the rails. It is hard to imagine what a parent in | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
this situation would otherwise do. Anything could have happened. What | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
was the alternative? Stand there and watch. A split`2nd decision. She | :11:33. | :11:43. | |
acted on instinct. 99% of people would have done the same thing. | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Whatever you see struggling in the water, you just have to do it. | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
Obviously they have to say that. Nobody is endorsing jumping on the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
tracks. I heard this on the way in on the radio. I asked in the car. It | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
is absolutely horrifying. An amazing mother, if it were my toddler on the | :12:13. | :12:23. | |
tracks, you would just do it. You would not think, this is too | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
dangerous. People will be talking about this. The thing over briefly. | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
`` flipping. The Minister leaving because he cannot afford to bring | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
his family down to London when he is stuck hair. The Daily Telegraph have | :12:41. | :12:51. | |
put a spin on it. They led the campaign with the expenses scandal | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
which brought about the new reforms. Under the new reforms, MPs who rent | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
a flat in London and have a constituency miles away at have | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
limited amount of money to spend at home. He says, I cannot have my | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
children in London with me. We really are scraping the bottom of | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
the barrel. It is August and it is summer. Deckchairs being widened. | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
Even though I have been on a diet, I am having problems with the chess in | :13:29. | :13:38. | |
the studio. `` chair is. 36 inch wide. Airlines in the United States | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
have widened shares as well. That is the way of the demographic. It makes | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
me wonder if they might charge more for it. Can you imagine how | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
depressing that would be? Can I have the super`size, please? That is not | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
to happen to us, we are both on diets. Thank you so much to both of | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
you. Stay with us. At midnight, the latest from Iraq as western airdrops | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
continue to help refugees. Coming up next, Sportsday. | :14:22. | :14:23. |
