:00:00. > :00:00.it up in an hour and a half, as great and leave the USA in a Davis

:00:00. > :00:23.cup tie, after he wins the first singles rubber in San Diego. Hello

:00:24. > :00:33.and welcome to our look at the papers tomorrow. Tomorrow's front

:00:34. > :00:36.pages. The Mail's front page is dominated by Amanda Knox's TV

:00:37. > :00:39.interview after her conviction for the murder of Meredith Kercher.The

:00:40. > :00:43.Mirror leads with the same story, with Knox insisting she'll fight to

:00:44. > :00:45.the end. "Cameron's EU strategy is dealt a double blow", according to

:00:46. > :00:48.the FT. That's after the Prime Minister's

:00:49. > :00:53.talks with President Hollande and a Lords defeat.

:00:54. > :00:57.The Independent has news that the chair of Ofsted is to leave her post

:00:58. > :01:00.at the end of the month. The Telegraph claims English is no

:01:01. > :01:04.longer the first language for the majority of pupils in more than one

:01:05. > :01:07.in nine schools. Education also features in the

:01:08. > :01:12.Times, with news that the government wants children to take school tests

:01:13. > :01:16.at the age of four. The i reports an attack by Prince

:01:17. > :01:18.Charles on climate change sceptics. He describes them as the "headless

:01:19. > :01:21.chicken brigade". Finally, the Guardian says a third

:01:22. > :01:33.of the mansions on London's billionaires row are standing empty.

:01:34. > :01:41.Let's begin with that reinstatement of those guilty verdict is in

:01:42. > :01:46.Florence last night. 24 hours ago we were talking about this, Amanda Knox

:01:47. > :01:52.and Raffaele Sollecito having those convictions for the murder of

:01:53. > :01:55.Meredith Kercher upheld. Amanda Knox appeared on American TV following

:01:56. > :02:01.her reinstated guilty verdict for Meredith's death. It makes several

:02:02. > :02:05.of the front pages. I don't suppose we should be surprised because they

:02:06. > :02:10.have always been fascinated by Amanda Knox. The Daily Mirror calls

:02:11. > :02:15.her the ice maiden and the Daily Mirror -- the Daily Mail describes

:02:16. > :02:20.it as a brazen charm offensive. The Independent also has a picture of

:02:21. > :02:23.Amanda Knox alongside the caption, loneliness of the long-distance

:02:24. > :02:30.fugitive. There is no doubt in their minds about whether she was rightly

:02:31. > :02:34.or not -- wrongly convicted. I know. The way they talk about her is that

:02:35. > :02:39.she is guilty. Which an Italian court has said she is. It has been

:02:40. > :02:45.such a long process. You can be left confused about what the situation

:02:46. > :02:49.is. They talk about her appearing on television in full make-up. The

:02:50. > :02:54.minute you walk into a TV station, they slap make up onto you. That is

:02:55. > :02:58.what happens. I just get a really bad feeling from it. Obviously, the

:02:59. > :03:03.people I am really concerned about are the family of the victim. And

:03:04. > :03:07.yet so often we do not see the pic of the woman who was killed,

:03:08. > :03:14.Meredith Kercher. It is Amanda Knox who is constantly on the front page.

:03:15. > :03:19.It is almost like she has become a character in the whole scheme of

:03:20. > :03:22.things. It is that whole thing of calling her Foxy Knoxy and all of

:03:23. > :03:27.that sort of stuff, I think it is very strange. Seven-year is since

:03:28. > :03:33.Meredith Kercher died, and her family, it seems, still cannot be

:03:34. > :03:38.sure this is the verdict that is going to stand. Absolutely. Seven

:03:39. > :03:44.years down the line, three court cases now. And the Daily Mail is

:03:45. > :03:49.right, this is a TV charm offensive designed to try to prevent

:03:50. > :03:52.extradition. Meredith Kercher's family are left, still, not really

:03:53. > :03:57.knowing what happened to their sister and daughter on that night,

:03:58. > :04:02.and probably without any end in sight, at least for a very long

:04:03. > :04:06.time. Because of the Italian court system, they can go back with an

:04:07. > :04:11.appeal. Even an extradition, if it were to go ahead, would be a year

:04:12. > :04:16.away, so there is uncertainty for everyone. The Americans have already

:04:17. > :04:21.been poking at the Italian system, saying it is not a system they

:04:22. > :04:24.trust. When it comes to the extradition, Americans are going to

:04:25. > :04:29.be American and say, why are we going to send her back there. You

:04:30. > :04:34.look at it through the prism of your own judicial system. If you have a

:04:35. > :04:37.system of double jeopardy, as in the United States, they cannot

:04:38. > :04:43.understand why in Italy you can be tried, in effect, for a second time

:04:44. > :04:48.for the same crime. We will see a lot more high-profile TV interviews.

:04:49. > :04:52.She was on good morning America, which has millions of viewers. It is

:04:53. > :04:58.a real appeal to public opinion to get public outrage behind her to put

:04:59. > :05:00.pressure on politicians. As we know, extraditions are a legal issue but

:05:01. > :05:08.they are political as much as anything else. She wants American

:05:09. > :05:11.politicians to be batting for her. A test of extradition treaties,

:05:12. > :05:13.particularly when we know that the United States always wants

:05:14. > :05:21.extradition treaties to be honoured when people are going the other way.

:05:22. > :05:25.We have issues with them ourselves, don't we? Some people are extradited

:05:26. > :05:30.to America. Not necessarily seen the other way. Let's move on and talk

:05:31. > :05:36.about one of a number of education stories on the front pages. This is

:05:37. > :05:41.the Independent, beneath the picture of Amanda Knox, Michael Gove Sax

:05:42. > :05:48.Ofsted chief. This is Baroness Morgan, who was a very close aide to

:05:49. > :05:51.Tony Blair, but also appointed by the coalition three-year is ago to

:05:52. > :05:55.be the chair of the schools Inspectorate, Ofsted. We understand,

:05:56. > :06:03.Kate, you will probably know more about this, the tensions there have

:06:04. > :06:07.been within the various bodies looking after education. There has

:06:08. > :06:10.been an extraordinary spat about Ofsted, the future of Ofsted and

:06:11. > :06:14.what Michael Gove was going to do with it. He had to make a statement

:06:15. > :06:18.only a few days ago saying he would sack anybody who would be briefing

:06:19. > :06:24.against Ofsted, and now we discover that Baroness Morgan is going to not

:06:25. > :06:29.get a second term. She is not being kept on. It is a strange situation

:06:30. > :06:34.because her tenure should come to an end at the end of this month, which

:06:35. > :06:39.is today, but she is likely to be kept on until they can find a

:06:40. > :06:42.successor, until the autumn. It is a peculiar mixed message. Her tenure

:06:43. > :06:45.has come to an end but she is staying on until they can find

:06:46. > :06:51.someone to take over. That is politics. I think there is a lot of

:06:52. > :06:54.politics going on. Despite the fact that she was closely linked to Tony

:06:55. > :06:59.Blair, she also supported the free schools policy. That is why she

:07:00. > :07:05.might have been useful to Michael Gove until now. There has been a

:07:06. > :07:11.statement from Michael Gove regarding the dismissal of Baroness

:07:12. > :07:14.Morgan. He says he would like to thank her for a tremendous

:07:15. > :07:17.contribution to the work of Ofsted, bringing great knowledge and

:07:18. > :07:20.insight. You would think she was stepping down of her own volition,

:07:21. > :07:26.the way this is worded, but it is never that straightforward. What is

:07:27. > :07:30.going on behind this is that Michael Gove is very much trying to appeal

:07:31. > :07:35.not to the education establishment, who he has shown he is not afraid of

:07:36. > :07:39.antagonising, but the judgement he is making is that something needs to

:07:40. > :07:47.be done to help standards in schools and that that will appeal to parents

:07:48. > :07:50.who will vote. But it will not be easy to find an appointment that

:07:51. > :07:57.satisfies everybody, particularly so close to an election, and I think

:07:58. > :08:00.there has been a complaint to the Cabinet Secretary to stop Tory

:08:01. > :08:06.ministers making party political appointments that are not

:08:07. > :08:11.necessarily approved of by the Lib Dems. The thing that I remember most

:08:12. > :08:18.is about when Tim Lawton was sacked as the children's minister. That man

:08:19. > :08:22.was loved by people in the field, and there was total shock when he

:08:23. > :08:28.was sacked by people working in that field. Again, we will have to wait

:08:29. > :08:31.and see what comes out. They know who they are going to a point, but

:08:32. > :08:41.it is a case of waiting to see what happens. We will come back to

:08:42. > :08:47.education in a moment. Here is the financial Times main story -

:08:48. > :08:56.Cameron's EU strategy dealt a double blow. This is after he met the

:08:57. > :08:58.French president at Brize Norton today and resident Holland said now

:08:59. > :09:07.is not the time to think about treaty changes. -- resident Holland.

:09:08. > :09:17.It is a problem for David Cameron. Just to see them on stage together,

:09:18. > :09:22.it shows the international diplomacy. Body language was

:09:23. > :09:28.interesting. I heard they were in a pub as well. Maybe he did not like

:09:29. > :09:32.the beer. There was also a problem today for the Prime Minister in that

:09:33. > :09:36.the Lords have done in the bill that would have underpinned this

:09:37. > :09:39.referendum on our continued relationship with the EU. You wonder

:09:40. > :09:48.where the Prime Minister goes with this. He is still talking about the

:09:49. > :09:52.referendum in 2017. Yes, he is, but the noises from number ten are very

:09:53. > :09:54.much a blame game, saying, look at the Labour Party and the Liberal

:09:55. > :09:58.Democrats. It is their fault the bill is not happening. They are

:09:59. > :10:01.trying to put Bush on the parties without putting too much pressure,

:10:02. > :10:05.because they want to go into the next election saying, only the

:10:06. > :10:10.Conservatives will give you this referendum. I must ask you what you

:10:11. > :10:20.made of Christopher Hope from the Telegraph was Mac temerity, in

:10:21. > :10:25.asking the president if he has made France a laughing stock with his

:10:26. > :10:30.private life, if he is still in a relationship with Julie Gayet, and

:10:31. > :10:37.if he is sorry that she is not here. French journalists do not understand

:10:38. > :10:42.the fixation with that question. Absolutely, the French media and

:10:43. > :10:45.French MPs are considering that British journalists have insulted

:10:46. > :10:48.the French president, and it is because they have a tradition of

:10:49. > :10:52.being deferential to their political leaders. And in Britain we have a

:10:53. > :10:57.tradition of asking very tough questions to people in power, and I

:10:58. > :11:01.think that is what we get from a free press, and we should be proud

:11:02. > :11:05.of it. You would feel you are not doing your job properly if you had

:11:06. > :11:10.not asked it. Let's move on to the Telegraph, another education story

:11:11. > :11:15.with England a second language at one in nine schools. What is the

:11:16. > :11:20.point of the story? It's in the Telegraph, so that might be a

:11:21. > :11:25.pointer. It's not news. It's something that I hear all the time.

:11:26. > :11:32.I am not sure what their motivation is. There have not been any figures

:11:33. > :11:39.or anything else like that released. They say it has gone up 10% since

:11:40. > :11:42.2009. It says the majority of children in 755 primary and

:11:43. > :11:47.secondary schools spoke another language at home following a sharp

:11:48. > :11:52.increase in the pupils with foreign-born parents. They saying it

:11:53. > :11:58.is a good or a bad thing? -- are they saying? One thing they are

:11:59. > :12:03.saying is that these schools were all mainly rated good or outstanding

:12:04. > :12:10.by Ofsted. So it's not a disadvantage to speak more than one

:12:11. > :12:17.language. They do talk about the things that the schools are doing as

:12:18. > :12:20.well to help pupils and to help the society within the school. They are

:12:21. > :12:25.pointing out that we are expecting a kind of explosion in the number of

:12:26. > :12:29.kids going to school in the coming years, because we are seeing a

:12:30. > :12:36.rising birth rate. It's nothing we haven't seen before. We saw this in

:12:37. > :12:39.the early 1980s, so it is about whether we allocate resources and

:12:40. > :12:43.how do we deal with it? More teachers having to cope with

:12:44. > :12:48.children who do not speak English as fluently as they might want. I

:12:49. > :12:52.always think having a second language is a real skill. It's

:12:53. > :12:59.something lacking in my life. I wish I had spoken to languages. Prince

:13:00. > :13:01.Charles attacking the climate headless chickens. He often gets

:13:02. > :13:08.criticised the commenting on anything. But he might be criticised

:13:09. > :13:12.if he did not make a comment at all. I often agree with a lot of things

:13:13. > :13:17.he says. I remember when he talked about buildings being carbuncles,

:13:18. > :13:22.and a lot of people think he should not say things like this. Should he

:13:23. > :13:28.be? As the heir to the throne? I am torn. One of the interesting things

:13:29. > :13:32.about him saying this is it shows the rise and influence of

:13:33. > :13:38.anti-climate change groups. That is it for this hour, but David and Kate

:13:39. > :13:42.will be with us at 11:30pm. Stay with us on BBC News because at 11

:13:43. > :13:55.o'clock we have more on the heavy weather which is starting to batter
