15/08/2014 The Papers

gold medal for Adam Gemili. And the latest from the Oval where England

got the final test against India off to a fine start. All that in 20

minutes. Welcome to the look ahead at what

the papers are bringing us tomorrow. With me are Kevin Schofield and the

broadcaster and author. First let's have a look at the sneak preview of

some of the front pages. The Financial Times says Ukraine

destroyed a Russian column that passed on to its country. The

Independent has a picture of a woman and her sick husband, succumbed to

the bowler crisis. Police defend televised raid on Sir Cliff is the

front of the Telegraph. The Mirror has more on the decision to search

the house belonging to Sir Cliff, and allegations is Islamic state

minister and are hacking into celebrity bank accounts. The

Guardian says a report into the causes of the horse meat scandal has

been shelved until at least the autumn. The Times reports America is

considering air strikes around Baghdad to protect the leadership

from the threat of Islamic militants. Good evening to you both.

Let's start with the sun, which pretty much represents most of the

front pages tomorrow. More on Sir Cliff Richard, police revealing they

have been contacted by people with information after Sir Cliff was

accused of sexually assaulting a young boy, and allegation he

strenuously denies. He says he will fully cooperate with the

investigation. If we go to the times, another story that continues

to dominate the papers. The situation in Iraq and revelations

that the US are considering raids around Baghdad. You get the feeling

the West has been sucked further into Iraq. Is this part of the

humanitarian issue to protect civilians? That is the main

objective at the moment, but I do not think it is solely focused on

that clearly. ISIS are on the march. If they were to get Baghdad, at the

moment it is still a slim possibility, but if they were to get

Baghdad we are into a whole new phase of the crisis. It says here

that President Obama has authorised military personnel to do all they

can to protect Baghdad. Primarily to protect American personnel, but as I

say, to keep ISIS that they. If they got Baghdad it would be a huge

prizes and it would be a new scenario. The leadership in Baghdad

is important, as the Times says, they have to do all they can to

protect it? It is a significant move. The current prime ministers

stepping down, everyone hoping the new guy in the post would be much

more progressive. For me, when I hear about the US thinking about

bombing around Baghdad, I shudder. I think the West, particularly Britain

and the US, we have two step back and think about this country is

partly in the state it is because we were in that country. What they

should be doing is not this thinking of protecting US. What about the

Kurds? That is what they should be doing. They shouldn't be talking

about Baghdad, they should be talking primarily about how they are

going to save the Kurdish population. Because they are not. It

worries me when they are talking about Baghdad. I really wonder what

is actually going on on the ground. A humanitarian disaster, that is

where the focus has to be. This is a worry for me when I read a story

like this. It is worth pointing out there was a meeting of EU Foreign

Minister is today. They agreed the EU nations should be able to arm the

Kurds. That is problematic, Kurdish leaders have wanted to have a

separate Kurdish state. It might draw Europe into that. It is

different to Syria. It is universal. Pretty much everybody is

agreeing that as much needs to be done as possible, as long as it does

not involve ground troops at the moment. That is the thing, that is

completely toxic. We remember ground troops in Iraq. That is a last thing

that Obama and Cameron want to do. Let's move on to the Guardian. The

headline is horse meat findings blocked. The story is basically that

the publication of the official report into the horse meat scandal

has been delayed. Wide EU think this has been delayed? It always seems a

bit fishy when official investigations, which have been

authorised and organised by the government, then do not see the

light of day. `` why do you think? It makes you think it cannot be good

as far as the government is concerned. That is what the Guardian

seems to suggest. That the government is going to come in for

quite a lot of criticism, spending cuts for leaving the food system

open to the abuse by criminal elements, who got horse meat and

other types of unsavoury types of meat into the food chain under the

cover of it was beef. It looks a little suspicious that the

government, who called this about 16 months ago and was due to report in

the spring, they are now talking about the autumn. You wonder what it

will reveal. The other thing coming out here from Chris Elliott, a

professor at Queen 's University in Belfast, is this whole thing about

one of the things that will come out in this report is about the

government cutting front line inspections. All the things that are

there to actually keep food safe. I think it is another mirror about

what is actually happening with public funding, with things that

directly affect the public, like education, the National Health

Service. Here we have the food industry, as well. I am sure the

government are really embarrassed about it, but they need to think

about what they are going to do about front line staff like

inspectors. We need them if this is not to happen again. In the blame

game it is not just the government. There are a lot of people involved

in the food chain. There have been criminal elements exposed as well.

Absolutely. But if you have front line staff who are meant to be

safeguarding food, if they are not able to get on and do their job, and

with the frequency to do their job, these issues will not come up and

therefore criminal elements are going to flourish. That seems to be

what has happened. One of the few things they have cut through, you

cannot trust the food that you are buying in the supermarkets

off`the`shelf if you cannot believe what it says on the label. It is a

shocker for me, I am a real foodie. It makes us realise we do not look

enough that what we put in our mouths. Ultimately you have to take

it on trust. You can go to your local butcher, or farm shops, but

ultimately you have to be able to trust the person selling you that

food. The Guardian says Elliott was understood to have delivered his

final report to the government a few weeks ago. Hopefully they're coming

up with some recommendations. In the Independent on the front page, a

shocking photo of an Ebola victim. It just brings it home, doesn't it?

Before when we were discussing it, you called this picture haunting. I

think it is a haunting, horrific picture. I think what happened with

Ebola, because it has been around a long time, it is not the disease

there is a cure for. I do not think people have been taking it very

seriously. In the public, like with the bird flu incident, nothing came

of it. I think we become a bit blas? when we hear about this. Reports

coming out now are really horrific. I believe in Liberia it is up to 1

million people who are in quarantine. That is because they

think there has been a lot of under reporting. I saw an earlier report

where they were in Liberia. They were actually moving slumber

dwellers out of their homes because they thought it might be a breeding

ground. These people 's homes were destroyed. There is confusion, fear

and the countries in West Africa and need significant outside help. You

mentioned medicine, the medical charity say it will be at least six

months and it is brought under control. Six months during which

there is every possibility that it could spread out of Africa. At the

moment it is terrible what is happening in Africa, but if it was

to move out of Africa... We heard today there is someone from Sierra

Leone who is being tested in Scotland. We hope that is clear. All

it takes is for one case to get out of Africa. That is another thing,

after a while how will climb trees respond in terms of their borders?

Will they be saying people from particular nations... `` how will

other countries respond Grissom and there are big ramifications about

how we respond to this. I hope we respond swiftly and sharply. We do

not want this to get out of control. I have just been told the person in

Scotland tested negative. But it shows the paranoia, and how there is

a fear it could cross borders beyond West Africa. Absolutely, the world

is a smaller place, people can travel very easily. Then it becomes

a question of if the National Health Service is ready? I don't think it

will be, definitely not. Let's move onto another story, still in the

Independent. The headline is to tear justice, the private prosecution

revolution. I thought this was hugely expensive, it surprises me

that has been a revolution. It is expensive. It means the only people

that can pursue private prosecutions are the wealthy. Everyone should be

equal under the law and everybody should have the same access to

justice, regardless of their means. But getting back to spending cuts,

that has been blamed by the independent for a huge rise in

private prosecutions. People do not feel they are getting the justice

they expect from the CPS or from the police. It is a worry. Obviously

these cases, private prosecution cases are subject to legal aid. It

is only open to the wealthy. `` are not subject to legal aid. The better

off have better access to justice, that would be a sorry state. A look

at the Financial Times, which reports on reports that Ukraine

attacked that Russian column that reportedly crossed over into

Ukrainian territory. As you would expect, the Financial Times reports

on the effect it has had on the markets. It is, the impact it will

have on the markets. I have to say, that is not what I am thinking

about. If you think about it, in the world at the moment there are all

these conflicts. Every time you look there are women, children and people

being displaced their homes. Ukraine is one of those places. It goes on

and on. On the one hand the Ukrainians are saying in Kiev they

have destroyed two dozen Russian military vehicles. The Russians

counter about their humanitarian convoy they want to send in. At some

stage, because this group of people, Russians, pro`Russians, the

Ukrainians, are in this area, there has to be some kind of political

solution. The reason the markets are reacting the way they are is because

it has an effect on everyone. It's worth pointing out. It was

supposed to be a humanitarian accident. Some of the vehicles were

actually empty so it suggests that... Almost empty, yes.

Also in the Financial Times, plans for HMRC to seize unpaid tax could

flout human rights. There is a lot of concern about this. This won't

necessarily be targeting people who are hiding money, just people who

are behind on repayments. Yes, it says that HMRC insist that

it will only be to seize debts of more than ?1000. That's not very

much. It's people who might have forgotten or didn't get a letter and

then check their bank balance and realise that HMRC have swiped it!

Leaving aside all the civil rights issues about whether the state

should have this kind of power, I wouldn't be surprised if HMRC had a

spotless record in terms of billing people incorrectly, but they don't.

He will get letters saying that they have overcharged. The right for them

to swiped money from your account is concerning.

For now, many thanks retaking through the papers. Stay with us on
