Sportsday, in 15 minutes. Hello and welcome to

our look ahead to what the papers With me are Laura Hughes,

political correspondent for the Daily Telegraph and

Joseph Harker, who's Assistant The Daily Mail claims a British

flight was close to being struck by a missile in Egyptian airspace,

a few months The Telegraph shows

a tired tourist waiting to be flown The fallout from the Russian plane

crashing in Egypt is also The i says that intelligence

about the crash suggests a bomb was The main FT story says

a job surge in the US could pave And the Express claims many over-50s

in Britain are struggling to get We will start with the airline crash

story. The Guardian has said that Russia is suspending all flights to

Egypt. US intelligence suggest a bomb brought the plane down this is

all sorts of chatter that is being listened to, some of which will

amount to nothing, but we seem to be edging closer towards the idea of a

bomb. Today for the first time French officials are reporting that

they have listened to the black box and heard the sound of an explosion.

They say it is not a technical fault, that wouldn't happen with a

technical fault. It is most likely a bomb. The question was that it might

have been a ground to air missile, but that was ruled out early. It was

initially said that it is impossible to launch a missile and hit a plane

flying at 40,000 feet. This is the first time Russians will have felt

that there is some kind of retaliation for response to their

army being sent to Syria. They have been trying to deny that there could

be any connection, but this makes the possibility that there is an

involvement. And we wonder whether the Russian airstrikes we have seen

in Syria will continue, because they were sold at home as a pre-emptive

strike, and here we are edging towards this idea that Russian

holidaymakers were a target. It is middle-class Russians that will

really hit here, and it is interesting to see how they will

respond. As you say, they put it off, denying it was a bomb, and

today they have done a bit of a U-turn. It will be difficult for

him, because there wasn't much backing for Russian troops to be on

the ground, so whether that happens I don't know. This whole debate

about British military intervention in Syria will come up again because

perhaps it sends a message of this is what happens if you intervene.

Maybe this is a message from ISIS. I think when these things happen and

they get a reaction like this, rather than retreat they tend to

step up their efforts. They will possibly say that this is a reason

to do even more. We see this in conflicts everywhere, that once

politicians have gone in one direction they seem to advance,

rather than retreat. Fairly emphatic here in The Times that a bomb has

torn the plane apart. We have been creeping towards this, but it comes

back to the analysis of the black boxes, which were recovered early

and they have now released this bit of information, which mentions the

sound that was heard. Yes, this is the first time we have heard

anything... That has given room for both Cairo and Moscow to deny it,

but this kind of evidence, you can't really argue with it and I think

that is why the papers have taken such a strong line. The

consternation in Egypt that once again their tourist industry, upon

which much of the country does rely, will be affected. This is terrible

for Egypt, and if it is about lax security measures at the airport, in

this time where there has been so many security concerns, you have

Libya next door, where ISIS have a foothold, and the idea that in this

context no one would be taking basic security measures at an airport is

astonishing. The Telegraph talks about the tone that officials in

Egypt are taking. Obviously public concern as well, Britain in

particular but Russia as well, did suspend flights. The Telegraph has

gone in with the line, quoting people who have said that Egypt is

sabotaging Britain's attempts to fly tourists out, and this is an act of

retaliation, because Egypt were not too pleased that Britain flew into

these huge actions. It was actually a Russian plane went down, not a

British one. There are twice as many Russian tourists out there than

their wry British, and yet Cameron came out very soon and said he

thought it was a bomb and we are going to stop flights, and they have

not been happy about that. We don't know what intelligence

hasn't been shared with the Russians that we have access to. It will be

surprising if they say carry on going on holiday after this plan has

gone down. It depends which side of the fence you are sitting on. Look

at the Daily Mail, rocket attack on UK tour jet. This is a missile that

was spotted 1000 feet away from a plane in August that was flying back

from Egypt. It clearly wasn't an attack, it seems to have been some

Egyptian military exercises that seemed to have fired a rocket, but

the interesting thing is that it seems that the Egyptian military

have acknowledged that the missile was theirs, it flew within 1000 feet

of a passenger airline, and they have acknowledged that they were

firing rockets that close. It is an extraordinary admission. If you were

one of the people on board, it would be very disturbing to read that. I

want to know how high the plane was flying and why there was no

communication with the plane and what was going on on the ground.

This happened on August 23, if they knew that these exercises were

taking place how many tourists would have decided not to go anywhere near

the Sinai? The Department for Transport has issued a statement in

the light of this story saying, we investigated this reported incident

at the time had concluded it was not a targeted attack, and was likely to

be connected to routine exercise is being conducted by the military in

the area, and at the time the pilot kept quiet about it. It doesn't

answer the question why it was allowed to happen. Why was the plane

that close to this missile? If a missile can come that close on

August 23, it could potentially have happened last weekend, which is a

scary thing. Unless it is a bomb, which got put in the hold. The

Independent, hedge funds attack threatens care home meltdown. This

is the four seasons group threatening to sell off a lot of

homes. The fear here is that there is a headhunter coming in, hoping to

buy up care homes. And they worry that business people are trying to

make a profit out of elderly people, and the well-being won't be there

primary concern. I think that is what this is getting out. It

highlights an issue we have in this country, with an elderly population

that is growing and we might not have the capacity to how is

everyone. We don't have the sort of culture where we take in our

elderly, our parents, which others do have around the world, just not

here. And the government being urged to step into something where the

free market is supposed to do some of the job for us, because it is

expensive for councils to provide it. It is reported with astonishment

that people might be caring for the elderly for money rather than just

kindness, but we all know that there are many people trying to make money

out of the health service and social care. When we leave things open to

the free market we see things like people in zero hours and underpaid

workers, and we get these routines where people are given 15 minutes of

care from a visitor when everything is pared down to the absolute

minimum. The actual care for people after hospital... It is very

difficult for them to go home, but the national living wage is going

up... If people are working on zero hours they are still facing

difficulty. It is the fact that costs are pared down in other ways

that these companies are still looking to make money out of this.

The Telegraph, the PM is telling us everyone will have the right to fast

broadband. In some parts of the country that is easier than others.

It is, but it is interesting that everyone should have a look and have

a cheque when they go home. The head of Ofcom has said that one in five

households is suffering because of poor internet connection because the

route is placed too close to a lamp, a stereo or a baby monitor. Many

people have this problem, and it is something that they feel is their

right, just like access to water and electricity. How this can actually

be implemented is unclear. We can all move our routers. Please pass

your thanks back on. Let's look at the FT. Pensioners steered towards

cheaper council, it is expensive and difficult to manage this situation

where you can now take money out of your pension. We have a situation

since the last budget where people are able to remove all their money

from their pension pot and spent it in one big splurge or invest it

however they want to, rather than getting it as an annual annuity.

There are obviously huge amounts of money involved in this, and people

who are supposed to advise pensioners are so worried about

getting it wrong that they have priced themselves out of the market,

deliberately. They have then handed it over to this automated

information line. Press one for a Lamborghini, press two for a home in

the south of France, whatever... If only! I think most people would want

that interaction with other people when working out what to do with all

the money they have signed up. -- saver. This is your life savings,

and if you are not comfortable using a computer, you want to use the

telephone, what if you are one of those people? Finally, Amanda who is

editing tonight found the story. I will protect outcasts... This is

mistrust... The environment secretary said she cuts the mouldy

bits of cheese and eats them anyway, but she is telling us that there are

particular foodstuffs particular to this country that should get

detection. She is so right. Stand up to the Bakewell tart and Blackwell

-- Blackpool Rock. There are 54 food items that are protected, 64 in

Britain, but France has 223. She is desperate to catch up with France,

that Britain should have as many protected foods as France, so she is

going out to try to build it up. I think Eccles cakes, Lancashire

hotpot, Yorkshire pudding and Newcastle Brown ale, they should be

protected as well. What else is on the list? I want you to say

Birmingham balti. Jersey potatoes... Devon cider, Welsh

laverbread. She says we need to shout about our food and drink as

much as other countries. We have some very exciting food culture. She

says this is about British branding, great British products. It

is down to Europe, isn't it? What if Britain comes out of Europe, will be

lose the right to protect? Maybe that will swing the whole referendum

campaign! I must mention as a proud Midlander, the pork pie and Stilton.

There are so many! She says she eats mouldy cheese. I love that story.

Thank you both, I hope you have enjoyed it. Coming up next,

Sportsday.
