More than 1 million people turned out in Istanbul to protest against | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
last month's attempted coup in Turkey. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Hello and welcome to look ahead to the papers, with us or our James | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
Milner and Eva Simpson hoping for some silly is that we can't find | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
any. Let's look at the front pages starting with the metal, reporting | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
opposition MPs have vowed to fight Theresa May's plans for new grammar | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
schools. The Daily Telegraph said union leaders at Southern rail have | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
been accused of deliberately damaging Britain's economy by | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
ordering the longest rail strike for almost 50 years. The Daily Express | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
collided on the news talks with big business of quitting the EU have | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
begun six weeks after the Brexit vote. The Guardian focuses on | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
International Paralympic committee's decision to ban Russia from | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
competing at the Paralympic games in Rio. The Times says Russian and | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Syrian aircraft bombing opposition areas of liberal in revenge after a | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
Rebel Alliance for a vote of month-long siege. -- Aleppo. The | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
commercial Times leaves on the fact that the pay of 100,000 Chief | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
Executive rove by one tenth last year -- rose. Let's begin. The | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Guardian is the only one we found so far that is looking at this | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Paralympic story. Russia banned outright from competing at Olympics, | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Putin attacked for medals over morals position. A very emphatic | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
position by the International Paralympic committee compared with | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
the IOC. That is strange because it announced today that no Russian | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Paralympic and will compete but then you have the IOC who have allowed | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
the able-bodied Russian team to compete in their current Olympics. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
The entire process is odd because you think, why isn't there a blanket | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
ban for all of the Russian athletes? Why can some compete and others | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
can't? It seems you either ban them all or decision to work some compete | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
should stand, it is old and if I was a Paralympic and who had trained | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
just as hard as an able-bodied athlete I would feel very aggrieved | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
by this decision. And Russia said they will appeal. Of course we have | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
all of the fun and games with appeals. The IOC initially banned | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Russia and Russian athlete and then some got in and they left up to the | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
individual sports. The only thing is it appears the Paralympic committee | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
have the guts to do at the Olympic Committee didn't. If the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
state-sponsored doping was going on then clearly the country as an | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
entirety has no right compete in a sporting contest that is the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Olympics and if you were an athlete who had trained for years and not | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
doped then you be very aggrieved that the Russians were letting if | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
they had. Whichever way you look at it, we you watch any of the Russian | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
athletes, you will always come you'll just be left with a sense of, | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
well, who is clean and who isn't? It is all such a mess. I was listening | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
to this looming earlier and someone called Julia something or other and | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
they kept saying a very controversial figure every time they | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
said their name because she has had a positive test in the past. Even if | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
she is clean now. Such a cloud hanging over the entire team. It | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
spoils the whole thing, which hopefully won't happen at the | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Paralympics because they will be banned. It is based on tests from | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
the Sochi games, samples from the Winter games. And what appears... In | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
which they came second. Shall we look at the Metro. MPs fight me's | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
bid to expand grammars. No sooner has the prime Minster expressed his | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
desire to have more grammar schools in some people are climbing all over | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
the idea. Who doesn't like it in particular? It is a political walk, | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
this is a great story. MPs don't really matter. Because if the Tories | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
get behind this, they can get it through the Commons. The problems | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
start in the Lords because the Tories don't have a majority there | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
yet, there are still building their numbers and that is why Tim Farron | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
comes into play. His eight MPs, but many Lords, somewhere in the | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
vicinity of 100 Lords and they have the balance of power. Labour will | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
oppose it if the Lib Dems supported and they get other people on the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
thing would get past. People who like grammar schools say they | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
promote social mobility and give children from disadvantaged | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
backgrounds the option to to have an education that their parents | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
couldn't necessarily afford to buy? Most of the objections stem from the | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
fact of this idea of social mobility has not been proven. That might have | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
happened historically but if you look at Granero system now -- the | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
grammar system now. The number of children who go there who have free | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
school meals, measure of poverty, is a very old number, about 3% in some | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
schools. The argument is we have a system where there are grammar | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
schools and in those schools that is not social mobility, so why is | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
creating more grammar schools going to encourage more social mobility? | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
What it will do is encourage those sharp elbowed parents... Who just | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
want the best for their children? Everyone wants the best but some | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
people have more of a means you can get tutors and the other | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
paraphernalia that comes with passing these exams you will have a | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
better advantage. That is the main objection. It is just to keep Tory | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
voters happy. Neil Carmichael, the new Conservative chairman of the | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
education select committee told the BBC tonight that he would oppose | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
moves to allow a New Generation of grammar schools. He doesn't believe | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
that a return will improve social mobility but will be a distraction, | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
he thinks. If the conservative camp are entirely convinced either. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
Ignore what I said about the Lords because the House of Commons comes | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
back into play and then it gets more interesting. Because if you only | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
need a few Tories to be against it for the SNP to hold the balance of | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
power and then you have an entirely new problem is the SNP get to decide | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
on English education policy because education is devolved Scotland. | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
James Milner. Political wonk. If I thing is in The Sunday Telegraph who | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
have the exclusive about grammar schools potentially being | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
reintroduced they also have a story that said the private school system | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
is under threat because parents have never had it so good in terms of | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
their state school choices. We should not just automatically think | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
that state schools are a disaster. They are doing better than ever. So | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
why do we need grammar schools? No one has really answer that question. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Let's go to the Financial Times. Blue-chip bosses ?5.5 million salary | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
is boost me's call for a crackdown. It was only last month that the | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
premise was saying it was unacceptable, this growing gap | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
between the average pay of our company worker and The People | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
running the place. In terms of grabbing the agenda, Theresa May is | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
on the front pages of most papers for different reasons. She is really | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
in control of the agenda. She is calling for a crackdown on salaries | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
and says that the FTSE 100 companies, their pay has risen by a | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
tenth to an average of ?5.5 million, which is eye watering in anyone's | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
books. It is almost the closest you get to a silly season story in the | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
papers because it is as if they have gone to write everyone is on | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
holiday, let's put something about fat cats on the front page. You | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
can't go far wrong. And it's true. Because even if it's not that new. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
What flatpack pay, that would be interesting. If you Amess trike -- | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
if you are Mr IKEA. It is in the States. Indeed. The figures are eye | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
watering and then you get the American figures were Chief | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Executive Skip to four times employees median compensation. -- | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
204. That figure is on the sixth part of the story suggests it is | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
maybe slightly thin fact that turned American figures, you have got a | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
huge amount of good -- it is good to compare. Daily Express, EU exit off | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the lead last, Chris retrieves work on how we cut ties with bottles and | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
a key issue is whether we will stay in the single market. It is a fairly | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
fundamental question. Who would have thought? The express loves the EU | :09:25. | :09:34. | |
and Brexit, not sure... They want to let us forget about Brexit. It has | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
taken six weeks. The sixth paragraph of this is explaining the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
relationship between Norway and the EU, suggesting there isn't a huge | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
amount of news in the story. It seems to be official at the Treasury | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
have made contact with the city. What does that make? Presumably they | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
have sent e-mails, do you want to visit us in September when we at our | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
desks speak about this? The suggestion is there is a poll being | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
done, two thirds of grassroots Conservative Party members don't | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
like the idea of a Norway style relationship, which includes a | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
single market freedom of movement. It is the freedom of movement | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
because that was the mantra of Brexit, take back control, so if we | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
have gone through all of this and we still have freedom of movement that | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
will not fly with Brexiteers. Not surprised they don't want to travel | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
down that road. It doesn't seem clear Brexit still means? Even if | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
Brexit will happen, we believe some people... The prime ministers says | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
altogether Brexit means Brexit. Whatever that means. It doesn't mean | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
anything. Heretical talk. Let's look at The Daily Telegraph. Locals might | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
get compensated for new housing. Last night it was people being | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
potentially if the consultation goes this way being compensated if they | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
live in a place where Shell gas is to be fracked. And the distraction. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
What is this about? This is a continuation of that story where | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
developers who will have to give people, homeowners in the | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
countryside and villages and towns where they will be developing new | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
homes, they will have to give them potentially cash incentives to keep | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
them sweet to get them to agree to this planning permission. I don't | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
think that is a particularly bad idea if you have moved to a village | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
because of the tranquillity and the peace and the lovely scenery and | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
suddenly a developer wants to come along and build something you don't | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
particularly want, why shouldn't you be compensated? People need to live | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
somewhere. The question is how much do you have to be paid? If I was of, | :12:00. | :12:11. | |
say, copyright Corbin persuasion, I might suggest this is a very Tory | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
policy, the idea that if you give people enough money they will accept | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
anything. It might be true. But there is something. If you give them | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
money before you put in your planning application that would be | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
bribery. If you do it afterwards then somehow that is OK? But if you | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
can't get planning permission because the locals object then how | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
do you be houses built? -- how do you get. Chouly how much you are | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
prepared to pay would have to be part of the application? Ask the | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
Government. I'm asking you. This is Theresa May again, taken control of | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
the agenda and pumping out announcements that maybe don't have | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
much substance. Maybe she would like to join us for 1130. Finally, | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
five-year-olds reported to police for sex assaults. On suspicion of | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
them. The suggestion here is that common sense is being abandoned | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
because of the pressure for schools to act on allegations. What do they | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
mean? The problem in this piece in The Telegraph which does not explain | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
the late -- nature of these assaults so we don't know if it is touching | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
or kissing, all we know is that teachers are calling police or | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
reporting children as young as five to police in increasing numbers. | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
Between 2011 and 2012 there were 719 incidents reported to the police and | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
that has come up 1955 between 2014 of 2015. There is a suggestion there | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
is more to report these cases to the police in the wake of the Jimmy | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
Savile affair according to The Telegraph. The charity is talking at | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
the moment, plan International, as are many organisations, about the | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
rise of sexual violence and assaults in schools. They are speaking about | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
all the children ordinarily. If there is worrying behaviour amongst | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
small children it is probably not sexual assault, is to do with care | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
that they need, isn't it? Yes. That is possibly why these are being | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
flagged up. It is a good thing perhaps that some agencies are | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
seeing something is wrong, you need to hopefully pass this onto another | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
agency and look at is going on at home. There certainly has been a | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
rise in sexual allegations made to the police involving schools, 719 in | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
2011-12 to nearly 2014-15. It is interesting reporting because plan | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
International have done the region of information to get the figures, | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
their thing is compulsory sex and research of education in schools, | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
which a lot of people would like to see introduced anti-government | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
boxing to be entirely against it and -- and the Government don't seem to | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
be. I'm not sure of plan International would be entirely | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
delighted with the way this has been brought in. Not the statistic they | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
were driving at, I would imagine. That is it for now but we will be | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
back at half past 11. Hopefully they will join me too. Coming up next, we | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
spoke about the teenage heroine of her new book, Paradise Lodge in meet | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
the author. | :15:38. | :15:41. |
