Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:22.:00:24.

With me are Mihir Bose, who's a columnist at

:00:25.:00:30.

the London Evening Standard and the Senior Political

:00:31.:00:32.

Correspondent for the Telegraph, Kate McCann.

:00:33.:00:34.

Most of the papers have colourful images of the Olympics

:00:35.:00:38.

But The Times says thousands of people are losing teeth needlessly

:00:39.:00:45.

because it is more lucrative for NHS dentists to take them out

:00:46.:00:48.

The Guardian has a picture of the British cyclist

:00:49.:00:52.

Its main story is about asthma, it says a new pill that

:00:53.:00:59.

could revolutionise treatment of the condition has been hailed

:01:00.:01:01.

The Telegraph says the BBC is to spy on internet users in their homes

:01:02.:01:05.

by deploying a new generation of Wi-Fi detection vans

:01:06.:01:08.

to identify those illicitly watching its programmes online.

:01:09.:01:26.

The Financial Times concentrates on the latest losses at RBS.

:01:27.:01:30.

The Mail reports on the legal aid given

:01:31.:01:31.

to the father of the murdered six-year-old, Ellie Butler.

:01:32.:01:36.

And the Mirror says the SAS is guarding

:01:37.:01:38.

We will start with the Olympic Games. The Daily Telegraph treats us

:01:39.:01:49.

to a beautiful picture of fireworks at the stadium in Rio and this was

:01:50.:01:55.

not from tonight, they do not have a crystal ball, but this is from the

:01:56.:02:00.

dress rehearsal. It gave us an idea of what might be coming. Are you

:02:01.:02:07.

excited about the Olympics? I'm excited, the Olympics is a great

:02:08.:02:12.

event but this is beleaguered and it worries me, apart from the drug

:02:13.:02:18.

scandals in Russia, the locals are very hostile, and normally when the

:02:19.:02:23.

Olympics begin everyone is very happy. Before they begin, there are

:02:24.:02:31.

doubts, even in London, but this time there is hostility and anger in

:02:32.:02:35.

Brazil and I suspect there could be trouble during the Olympics. You saw

:02:36.:02:44.

that at the World Cup? Yes, I got a Fifa accreditation and I was booed,

:02:45.:02:50.

the anger there, Brazil has gone from being the template for world

:02:51.:02:53.

progress to being a basket case and the people are saying, why are we

:02:54.:02:59.

spending this money, having a party, when we need money for services and

:03:00.:03:05.

education? There was real anger. The athletes participate, but the

:03:06.:03:11.

officials go around and they stay in the best hotels and that will

:03:12.:03:16.

generate anger and there might be some violence. All against the

:03:17.:03:21.

backdrop of political scandal which has beset the Brazilian government.

:03:22.:03:27.

How much interest are you taking? In the sport. I have to admit it is not

:03:28.:03:34.

something I does Billy watch, but I like watching it if it is on. -- not

:03:35.:03:42.

something I desperately watch. The Olympic says been marred by

:03:43.:03:45.

controversy and we are yet to get out of the starting blocks. Tom

:03:46.:03:49.

Daley says it has a more informal feel, and I think he's being polite.

:03:50.:03:54.

In reference to the accommodation for the athletes. They have had to

:03:55.:03:59.

put up their own shower curtains and make their own beds, because that is

:04:00.:04:05.

not ready. It has not been prepared, not to the standards people would

:04:06.:04:10.

have expected. After the opening ceremony, hopefully things will go

:04:11.:04:13.

more smoothly and I would like to see it go well and Team GB do well.

:04:14.:04:18.

The interesting thing will be how the Brazilian crowd react to their

:04:19.:04:24.

interim president. And how they react to the Russian team, that

:04:25.:04:28.

would be very interesting. Another story on the front page about the

:04:29.:04:33.

Olympics. Health fears have rolled her lay out from the opening

:04:34.:04:43.

ceremony -- have ruled out Pele from the opening ceremony. He says health

:04:44.:04:48.

reasons but he has commercial sponsors and I'm not sure whether

:04:49.:04:52.

they have not intervened. If you remember the 1996 Olympic Games,

:04:53.:05:00.

Mohammed Shami almost hobbled out and lit the flame, and that was a

:05:01.:05:08.

very historical moment -- Ali. I'm not sure it would matter if Pele

:05:09.:05:17.

limped up and lit the flag. Maybe they could choose one of the

:05:18.:05:22.

supermodels. Yes, one of the Olympic torches going through was stolen and

:05:23.:05:30.

blown out and hopefully that won't happen. They will try and pick a big

:05:31.:05:36.

sporting figure who can unify the nation and remind it of its glory

:05:37.:05:42.

days. The Daily Mirror says the SAS are guarding the British athletes,

:05:43.:05:52.

quite a commitment. I'm sure they won't have been that hesitant to go

:05:53.:05:56.

out there, but I don't think that is a huge surprise. This is a huge

:05:57.:06:04.

event, very high profile, and we have seen political trouble in the

:06:05.:06:07.

country and controversy and there are concerns around security. I'm

:06:08.:06:12.

not surprised that is the case and I think that is a good thing. They

:06:13.:06:18.

might be liaising with the Brazilian police, they cannot operate on their

:06:19.:06:26.

own. And now to The Guardian. Laura Trott, taking part in a practice

:06:27.:06:31.

session, the cyclists are bound to have hopes riding on them. She could

:06:32.:06:38.

be one of the first to win a medal for Britain early on. You remember

:06:39.:06:45.

Sydney where Britain went and did not do well initially, but then the

:06:46.:06:50.

cyclists won on the first day. She is one of the best medal hopes,

:06:51.:06:59.

Laura Trott. Away from the Olympics. The newspaper. This is repairing to

:07:00.:07:08.

Dame Lall Goddard who has resigned and gone home -- Lau Goddard -- this

:07:09.:07:24.

is referring to Lowell Goddard. One of the interesting thing is that

:07:25.:07:27.

Justice Goddard has said, it would have made more sense to start the

:07:28.:07:34.

whole press -- process again because it has been marred by failure and

:07:35.:07:38.

people have been let down so much that there needs to be something

:07:39.:07:43.

done to kick-start it over again. She said it was not an easy task and

:07:44.:07:49.

there has been controversy about whether she left because of her

:07:50.:07:52.

family committee wanted to spend more time with them. They are on the

:07:53.:07:58.

other side of the world, but to say it has been a failure, isn't that

:07:59.:08:03.

wrong? Progress has been made. Despite the revolving door. That has

:08:04.:08:10.

been a story in itself, 100 cases have gone to the police, I've been

:08:11.:08:14.

told, but isn't this a high-profile immigrant working and us paying a

:08:15.:08:29.

lot for that. Shouldn't we be watching the points system a lot

:08:30.:08:34.

better? Keith Flowers feels the anyway forward, and for the inquiry

:08:35.:08:40.

is for her to come and explain what progress has been made and exactly

:08:41.:08:44.

what needs to happen next and he says she's the new person who can

:08:45.:08:47.

give them that insight and that needs to happen -- Keith Vaz. Her

:08:48.:08:55.

sudden resignation suggests something has happened in the

:08:56.:08:59.

background. There are claims that she and the team were at odds about

:09:00.:09:04.

the way the inquiry worked and it feels as though there is more to

:09:05.:09:08.

come out. Let's hope the fourth chairperson is the last one. It will

:09:09.:09:17.

take years. They will probably come from France or Germany. The idea is

:09:18.:09:24.

to not appoint someone who is part of the British establishment. And

:09:25.:09:31.

now to another story. This is a new line. This is about RBS. They were

:09:32.:09:41.

trying to set up a new retail bank and that is not going to happen. We

:09:42.:09:46.

expected this to happen, this has been a long time coming, controversy

:09:47.:09:52.

around this kind of new bank but it comes off the bank of Lloyds closing

:09:53.:09:59.

a number of branches. And it is a trend which is worrying. High street

:10:00.:10:05.

banks disappearing and fewer branches on the high street and now

:10:06.:10:11.

this. More controversial, RBS is not in great form, anyway, but there is

:10:12.:10:18.

a trend of banking going more online, is this something people

:10:19.:10:22.

want to see? It cuts a lot of cost. In the old days you had a

:10:23.:10:29.

relationship with your bank manager and you met him, but now you just

:10:30.:10:38.

have a voice on the phone. We are moving into that area where there

:10:39.:10:42.

will not be any hype Street branches at all. -- high street. It makes it

:10:43.:10:50.

more difficult for small businesses. We spoke to small businesses last

:10:51.:10:54.

week, if you are a small business using cash you need to be able to

:10:55.:11:01.

take it in every day. And the people not able to go online or call their

:11:02.:11:09.

bank bank get the answers they want, -- and get the answers they want.

:11:10.:11:13.

Canada are pushing more face-to-face interaction because they feel

:11:14.:11:19.

customers value it and they feel customers are willing to pay more

:11:20.:11:22.

money to have an interaction, but maybe in this country this is

:11:23.:11:28.

something customers might like but they are not being offered. And out

:11:29.:11:36.

to the Financial Times. This is about final salary pensions. If you

:11:37.:11:46.

are lucky to have one these days. I won't get into my pension

:11:47.:11:49.

arrangements, if that's all right. LAUGHTER

:11:50.:11:57.

The idea is these pensions are so expensive when you come to

:11:58.:11:59.

retirement that companies are offering people the chance to get

:12:00.:12:04.

out but take a huge sum of money. Sounds a good deal. It could be a

:12:05.:12:10.

trap. Companies fear that by the time they come to pay the pension

:12:11.:12:15.

they will have to pay more and they are providing a great inducement but

:12:16.:12:22.

it is clear from the story that what the people take, if they had stayed

:12:23.:12:29.

in the pension plan, 10-15 years, they would get a much better pension

:12:30.:12:35.

than the money they get now. A calculation people have got to make.

:12:36.:12:39.

There's got to be something in it for the companies. A fairly easy

:12:40.:12:44.

calculation to make them if you are presented with a large chunk of

:12:45.:12:47.

money, how are you going to make it grow? Especially with people living

:12:48.:12:54.

longer. You will not get anything by putting it in the bank. Property

:12:55.:12:58.

might be a good place to put it, but it is difficult to put it into a

:12:59.:13:08.

property. I don't have a final salary pension and I don't think we

:13:09.:13:11.

will see that again in anyway shape or form. You're right, many of them

:13:12.:13:21.

have closed. And now The Daily Mail. Taxpayers funded a warp to battle

:13:22.:13:29.

for this father for custody of little girl he went on to mother,

:13:30.:13:38.

according to the paper. -- a warped. You can understand why The Daily

:13:39.:13:42.

Mail is in uproar but when people claim legal aid you don't know

:13:43.:13:49.

whether they are guilty or not, this was about the custody battle. Very

:13:50.:13:55.

complex. We were talking about this, it says the legal bill was totted up

:13:56.:14:03.

over 15 years, but she was only six when she died. That does not make

:14:04.:14:09.

sense. You are right, you can apply for legal aid to fight a legal case

:14:10.:14:12.

in there has to be an element of going on to win because that is the

:14:13.:14:17.

balance of judgment, but you can't only give people who are not guilty

:14:18.:14:21.

legal aid and that means some time to time we will have cases like

:14:22.:14:24.

this, although this is quite unusual. He had fought cases

:14:25.:14:32.

previously. The one we know about now. Custody battles. ?1 million was

:14:33.:14:40.

a custody bill. Grandparents are making the point, because they feel

:14:41.:14:46.

they have been... They feel this is dreadful, they did not get legal

:14:47.:14:49.

aid. He did because he was on benefit. They wouldn't like legal

:14:50.:14:55.

aid and they feel the system is weighed in favour of those who can

:14:56.:15:01.

claim benefits and legal aid, but they couldn't and that is part of

:15:02.:15:09.

the story. The legal aid system has changed since he would have claimed

:15:10.:15:13.

legal aid, anyway. It makes a good headline. Yes, and you think this is

:15:14.:15:21.

about access to justice in many ways. Back to the Daily Telegraph.

:15:22.:15:28.

BBC plans to snoop on internet users. If you are watching iPlayer

:15:29.:15:42.

to watch BBC content you still have to pay a licence fee. And yet they

:15:43.:15:51.

have got to do this. There is a growing problem, people are on their

:15:52.:15:55.

laptops and iPads watching BBC without paying license fees so how

:15:56.:16:05.

can the BBC collect money on that? Technology is defeating the BBC, and

:16:06.:16:08.

so they have got to improve their technology skills. They are not

:16:09.:16:12.

giving it away, how they are going to do this. At the moment you can

:16:13.:16:16.

watch iPlayer content which is not live and not pay the license free

:16:17.:16:23.

but that will change from September. -- licence fee. Many people just

:16:24.:16:29.

watch on catch up, but don't pay, but they will have to do, and that

:16:30.:16:34.

has prompted this story. At university we believed it was a mess

:16:35.:16:42.

that violence would drive round -- a myth. I had a knock on the door when

:16:43.:16:51.

I was at university, and a very polite man said one evening, I

:16:52.:16:57.

believe you have a television, we had a black and white one. We were

:16:58.:17:03.

too cheap to have a colour one. We had brought a TV licence, he did not

:17:04.:17:10.

believe me. He said, can you find it? We went upstairs and found it

:17:11.:17:19.

and he was so surprised. If he had a detector van it wasn't working.

:17:20.:17:24.

These detector vans will be working, presumably. Of course. We have a

:17:25.:17:30.

statement from TV licensing, this is what they have said all and they

:17:31.:17:41.

have said the use of detection is regularly inspected by independent

:17:42.:17:44.

examiners, which is what the BBC is allowed to do. Finally, The Times,

:17:45.:17:50.

the great dental rip-off, thousands of teeth needlessly extracted

:17:51.:17:54.

because this is more profitable for dentists. My mum will love this

:17:55.:18:00.

story, she will feel then dictated. When we went to the dentists when we

:18:01.:18:04.

were younger, the dentist said maybe you need a filling and my mum was

:18:05.:18:09.

adamant that was not the case and that we have lovely teeth. This

:18:10.:18:14.

article is saying that dentists get paid more, ?25 forcing anybody for a

:18:15.:18:24.

checkup and ?75 for extraction is an fillings, and they are more inclined

:18:25.:18:29.

to extract a tooth because they will get paid more. There's the

:18:30.:18:35.

incentive. Quite shocking, one dentist says ten dentists were paid

:18:36.:18:42.

the equivalent of ?450,000 a year which is a huge amount of money. A

:18:43.:18:46.

lot of teeth. Root canal treatment will take longer they rather remove

:18:47.:18:55.

the truth -- and they would rather remove the teeth. Surely this is

:18:56.:19:02.

only a handful of dentists. They look at the costs and they work out

:19:03.:19:06.

what is profitable for them, surely. I will stop there before we have

:19:07.:19:14.

besmirched the good name of the dentists of this country, and I

:19:15.:19:17.

would like to show you the night sky of Rio. That is where the opening

:19:18.:19:25.

ceremony will take place. Live coverage on BBC One. Coverage on

:19:26.:19:32.

radio and online, and I imagine that will be full of fireworks. It looks

:19:33.:19:41.

pretty attractive already. That is it for the papers tonight. The front

:19:42.:19:45.

pages have come in. Don't forget all the front pages

:19:46.:19:58.

are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review

:19:59.:20:01.

of the papers. It's all there for you -

:20:02.:20:03.

7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers - and you can see us there too -

:20:04.:20:06.

with each night's edition of The Papers being posted

:20:07.:20:09.

on the page shortly And now we have the weather

:20:10.:20:16.

forecast.
