:00:00. > :00:00.battling the heat to reach the second round, Andy Murray said that
:00:00. > :00:16.the rules need to be looked at. That is in 15 minutes, after The Papers.
:00:17. > :00:22.Hello. Welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us
:00:23. > :00:25.tomorrow. With me are freelance journalist Samira Shackle and Oliver
:00:26. > :00:29.Wright, the Whitehall editor of the Independent. Many of the front pages
:00:30. > :00:34.are in now. We are going to start by looking at The Independent. It is
:00:35. > :00:38.saying that by analysing census records it has found that there is
:00:39. > :00:42.evidence that some immigrant groups are practising sex selective
:00:43. > :00:47.abortions. The Daily Telegraph is leading on George Osborne warning
:00:48. > :00:51.other EU countries that they must reform economies or face decline.
:00:52. > :00:55.The Daily Mirror devotes its entire front page to allegations of sexual
:00:56. > :00:59.offences being faced by three celebrities, Coronation Street's
:01:00. > :01:04.William Roache amongst them. The much anticipated French President's
:01:05. > :01:08.press conference takes centre stage on the Guardian's cover, revealing
:01:09. > :01:12.he had an awful lot to say, but not about his alleged affair. The Daily
:01:13. > :01:16.Express also leads on those three cases in which celebrities are
:01:17. > :01:19.facing sexual offence charges. The photographs show the defendants,
:01:20. > :01:25.Dave Lee Travis, William Roache and Rolf Harris. The Times leads on the
:01:26. > :01:32.same story, and shows Rolf Harris leaving court. The Daily Mail leads
:01:33. > :01:33.on that story, calling it an extraordinary day, with three
:01:34. > :01:41.reputation is at stake. We are going to start with that
:01:42. > :01:53.story, the front cover of the Daily Mirror. Corrie Ken abused girl in TV
:01:54. > :01:56.loo, is the headline. We have three different sex assault cases, linked
:01:57. > :02:03.by one thing, it would seem, celebrity. We know in the two trials
:02:04. > :02:08.that have started today, that of William Roache and Dave Lee Travis,
:02:09. > :02:12.the prosecution have made it clear that they believe it is that
:02:13. > :02:16.celebrity that the defendants used to cover their crimes? Absolutely.
:02:17. > :02:21.That is a common thread running through that. It is also something
:02:22. > :02:25.that is being used in the defence, Dave Lee Travis's lawyers saying it
:02:26. > :02:28.is his fame that is making him a target for these allegations. It is
:02:29. > :02:33.obviously difficult to say anything much about it, really. But I think
:02:34. > :02:39.we can be sure that it is going to run and run. Indeed. We have to be
:02:40. > :02:44.careful in linking the three? The key point here is the timing of
:02:45. > :02:48.this, it is entirely coincidental. While it is interesting and a good
:02:49. > :02:52.story for news desks to put these three stories together, and it
:02:53. > :02:54.sounds very dramatic, it could give the public the impression that
:02:55. > :02:58.somehow these three are linked. But they are very different allegations.
:02:59. > :03:03.All of which took place at very different times in history, very
:03:04. > :03:05.different geographical places, and they are separate places that will
:03:06. > :03:10.be tried by separate juries and I think that is important. Indeed,
:03:11. > :03:14.three very, very different investigations. Let's go on the
:03:15. > :03:19.Independent. Very, very interesting story. The lost girls. Illegal
:03:20. > :03:23.abortion is apparently, according to the Independent, widely used in some
:03:24. > :03:30.UK ethnic minority immunities to prevent the birth of daughters? This
:03:31. > :03:35.is a difficult and uncomfortable subject to report on and
:03:36. > :03:39.investigate. This is something we have been doing for a number of
:03:40. > :03:43.weeks. If you are going to run a story like this saying that,
:03:44. > :03:47.basically, illegal abortions are prevalent within certain ethnic
:03:48. > :03:50.minority communities, you want to be extremely sure of your facts. That
:03:51. > :03:54.is what we have done and that is why we have taken... I mean, it is hard,
:03:55. > :03:57.you can see the story and it looks like it has come yesterday, but in
:03:58. > :04:05.fact this is a piece of work that has been sometime in the making.
:04:06. > :04:10.What we did was we used the Office of National Statistics's census data
:04:11. > :04:15.going from 2011. We looked particularly at second children from
:04:16. > :04:17.both ethnic minority backgrounds and the general population. What we
:04:18. > :04:28.found was that there was a statistical very -- variation
:04:29. > :04:33.between boys and girls born in the event amenities. We show this to
:04:34. > :04:39.statisticians. What we wanted to say was, is this statistically
:04:40. > :04:45.significant? They said yes. You can extrapolate from the figures that
:04:46. > :04:49.somewhere between 1400, and 1700 more boys than girls. That is the
:04:50. > :04:54.difference between the two taxes, which you should not expect to find.
:04:55. > :05:01.Is this shocking? Well, I think anybody would expect to find the
:05:02. > :05:07.abortion of children purely because they are female quite shocking in
:05:08. > :05:13.itself. I think where we are talking about this issue, you have to
:05:14. > :05:21.think, it is said of India that there are 60 million missing women,
:05:22. > :05:25.as a result of female infanticide. When you have something on that
:05:26. > :05:32.scale, I don't think you can expect it to disappear with immigration.
:05:33. > :05:35.Obviously it is worth noting that, obviously any is too many, but this
:05:36. > :05:41.is a small number in the context of the number of immigrants from ethnic
:05:42. > :05:46.minorities in the UK. But I think you can't really expect those things
:05:47. > :05:51.to disappear. I don't think that means you shouldn't... That is what
:05:52. > :05:55.I mean about it being shocking, is it shopping? I think it is shocking,
:05:56. > :05:59.but I don't think it is entirely unexpected or surprising. What is
:06:00. > :06:04.pertinent about it is what we have found contradicts what the official
:06:05. > :06:09.sources say. I suspect that is because of our methodology, that we
:06:10. > :06:14.looked at second children rather than across the round. I don't think
:06:15. > :06:17.they did that in their survey. I think this quite strongly makes the
:06:18. > :06:24.argument that the government needs to look at this again. It is a
:06:25. > :06:28.matter of huge public policy. Is this going to affect the debate
:06:29. > :06:35.about whether or not pregnant women should be allowed to know the sex of
:06:36. > :06:39.their babies before 13 weeks, up to 13 weeks? Of course, later on it is
:06:40. > :06:49.much more difficult to get an abortion? I think that is the only
:06:50. > :06:56.way that you can really limit this. It is difficult to enforce a ban on
:06:57. > :06:59.sex selective abortion, because people could give another reason for
:07:00. > :07:03.wanting an abortion once they know the gender. I think that debate
:07:04. > :07:09.needs to reopen. But then you can't really stop people going abroad to
:07:10. > :07:12.do it, I don't think you can stop people. You can make it more
:07:13. > :07:16.difficult. I don't see any reason why, if you are going to become a
:07:17. > :07:21.parent, you'd need to find out the sex of the child at ten or 13 weeks,
:07:22. > :07:26.why you can't wait longer. Some people choose to wage the whole
:07:27. > :07:31.time. A really interesting story. Let's go onto the Telegraph. Mr
:07:32. > :07:34.Osborne is lecturing the EU on reform. The Chancellor says that
:07:35. > :07:38.Europe must halt decline by backing business and cutting welfare
:07:39. > :07:41.spending if Britain is to remain part of it. Clearly, he is setting
:07:42. > :07:46.out his stall and making it clear to backbenchers that we are doing what
:07:47. > :07:54.we can to reform Europe? George Osborne lecturing the EU. I think it
:07:55. > :07:58.is another day, another story about Tory leadership pandering to the
:07:59. > :08:05.Tory right on the Europe. I sort of wonder who in Europe is listening,
:08:06. > :08:09.particularly saying that British mothership is going to be
:08:10. > :08:14.conditional on job creation and welfare spending in Europe. I think
:08:15. > :08:18.it is quite interesting that, since one of the central arguments from
:08:19. > :08:22.the Tory Right is about British sovereignty, should we be telling
:08:23. > :08:28.other states what to do if that is the art image? I totally agree. The
:08:29. > :08:31.headline should say, Osborne playing to his own backbenchers by having
:08:32. > :08:37.another go at the EU, but that would not fit. The serious point is that I
:08:38. > :08:39.don't see any good way out of this for Cameron, Osborne ordered Tory
:08:40. > :08:45.leadership. Despite what they are saying, they are pragmatists. They
:08:46. > :08:49.realise that Britain, not in the EU, would be a total disaster for the
:08:50. > :09:02.country and, in particular, business. They are now a locked into
:09:03. > :09:06.this referendum. There is a sizeable portion of backbenchers that just
:09:07. > :09:10.want out of there. They are not looking for any contra Mize. Even if
:09:11. > :09:14.somebody is listening in Brussels, saying, we are going to reform, even
:09:15. > :09:17.if they did make concessions and made changes that suit the
:09:18. > :09:21.government, you don't think if they went into a referendum in 2015 or
:09:22. > :09:28.wherever, with a new set of policies in place, that they would win?
:09:29. > :09:32.Really? I don't think they'll win the concessions which Cameron's
:09:33. > :09:38.backbenches believe and want him to win, which are frankly totally
:09:39. > :09:41.impractical. I think almost intentionally they're so, that the
:09:42. > :09:45.backbenchers are putting Cameron in such a position that nothing is good
:09:46. > :09:49.enough, because they don't want to reform the EU. They actually just
:09:50. > :09:55.want out. Interesting. We'll stick with the Telegraph. Hollande
:09:56. > :10:01.anticipation, yes, but no satisfaction. This referring to his
:10:02. > :10:04.press conference this year, where there's a lot of discussions about
:10:05. > :10:11.his private life. He didn't want to discuss it. No, he doesn't. Would
:10:12. > :10:14.anyone fault him for that? He wanted to discuss pretty much everything
:10:15. > :10:20.else. What has amused me about this story is one thing that has come up
:10:21. > :10:23.quite a lot is the differences it shows between the French political
:10:24. > :10:29.landscape and the British one. I think it's quite difficult to
:10:30. > :10:34.imagine British Prime Ministers being accused of having an affair
:10:35. > :10:39.with a film star and not resigning, and threatening to sue the magazine
:10:40. > :10:43.who published the allegations and I think it's quite interesting. We
:10:44. > :10:53.have just brought up the cover there of the main French newspapers and
:10:54. > :10:58.it's got a little bit at the top. Saying the affair is destabilising
:10:59. > :11:05.the man. There were lots of muderings from political hacks if
:11:06. > :11:13.this was Britain if David Cameron had done such a thing he wouldn't
:11:14. > :11:17.have had such an easy ride. The Prime Ministers don't do press
:11:18. > :11:22.conferences. I just thought that the sketch is superb here. If Francois
:11:23. > :11:26.Hollande treats his women the way he treats his press conferences I feel
:11:27. > :11:31.rather sorry for them! We'll go on to the front page of The Guardian. A
:11:32. > :11:35.very French affair. I don't understand the papers. "Hollande has
:11:36. > :11:43.a lot to say, except on one subject." Why should we be surprised
:11:44. > :11:50.by that? Who wants to talk about their private life? It seems normal.
:11:51. > :11:55.Normally people confirm or deny something if they're accused. He
:11:56. > :12:00.hasn't. Maybe that's it. I find it a bit odd that asked whether he was
:12:01. > :12:06.going to take his partner, who is the First Lady to America, he said,
:12:07. > :12:12."Well, I've jet to decide." It seems odd. OK. Thank you both. You'll be
:12:13. > :12:16.back in an hour to look at the headlines. Many thanks for that.
:12:17. > :12:21.Stay with us, because at the top of the hour, for the first time in four
:12:22. > :12:24.years, inflation has fallen to the Bank of England's 2% rate, so for a
:12:25. > :12:28.lot of people that could be good news. Labour are saying that we are
:12:29. > :12:45.lagging far behind. Stay with us for that, but now it's Sportsday.
:12:46. > :12:50.Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Katie Gornall. Coming up - we'll
:12:51. > :12:53.have all the results from an eventful night in the FA Cup, as
:12:54. > :12:54.Norwich's season goes from bad to worse at Craven
