it up in an hour and a half, as great and leave the USA in a Davis | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
cup tie, after he wins the first singles rubber in San Diego. Hello | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
and welcome to our look at the papers tomorrow. Tomorrow's front | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
pages. The Mail's front page is dominated by Amanda Knox's TV | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
interview after her conviction for the murder of Meredith Kercher.The | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Mirror leads with the same story, with Knox insisting she'll fight to | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
the end. "Cameron's EU strategy is dealt a double blow", according to | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
the FT. That's after the Prime Minister's | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
talks with President Hollande and a Lords defeat. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
The Independent has news that the chair of Ofsted is to leave her post | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
at the end of the month. The Telegraph claims English is no | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
longer the first language for the majority of pupils in more than one | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
in nine schools. Education also features in the | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Times, with news that the government wants children to take school tests | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
at the age of four. The i reports an attack by Prince | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Charles on climate change sceptics. He describes them as the "headless | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
chicken brigade". Finally, the Guardian says a third | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
of the mansions on London's billionaires row are standing empty. | :01:22. | :01:33. | |
Let's begin with that reinstatement of those guilty verdict is in | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
Florence last night. 24 hours ago we were talking about this, Amanda Knox | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
and Raffaele Sollecito having those convictions for the murder of | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Meredith Kercher upheld. Amanda Knox appeared on American TV following | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
her reinstated guilty verdict for Meredith's death. It makes several | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
of the front pages. I don't suppose we should be surprised because they | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
have always been fascinated by Amanda Knox. The Daily Mirror calls | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
her the ice maiden and the Daily Mirror -- the Daily Mail describes | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
it as a brazen charm offensive. The Independent also has a picture of | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Amanda Knox alongside the caption, loneliness of the long-distance | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
fugitive. There is no doubt in their minds about whether she was rightly | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
or not -- wrongly convicted. I know. The way they talk about her is that | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
she is guilty. Which an Italian court has said she is. It has been | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
such a long process. You can be left confused about what the situation | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
is. They talk about her appearing on television in full make-up. The | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
minute you walk into a TV station, they slap make up onto you. That is | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
what happens. I just get a really bad feeling from it. Obviously, the | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
people I am really concerned about are the family of the victim. And | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
yet so often we do not see the pic of the woman who was killed, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Meredith Kercher. It is Amanda Knox who is constantly on the front page. | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
It is almost like she has become a character in the whole scheme of | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
things. It is that whole thing of calling her Foxy Knoxy and all of | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
that sort of stuff, I think it is very strange. Seven-year is since | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Meredith Kercher died, and her family, it seems, still cannot be | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
sure this is the verdict that is going to stand. Absolutely. Seven | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
years down the line, three court cases now. And the Daily Mail is | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
right, this is a TV charm offensive designed to try to prevent | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
extradition. Meredith Kercher's family are left, still, not really | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
knowing what happened to their sister and daughter on that night, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
and probably without any end in sight, at least for a very long | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
time. Because of the Italian court system, they can go back with an | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
appeal. Even an extradition, if it were to go ahead, would be a year | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
away, so there is uncertainty for everyone. The Americans have already | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
been poking at the Italian system, saying it is not a system they | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
trust. When it comes to the extradition, Americans are going to | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
be American and say, why are we going to send her back there. You | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
look at it through the prism of your own judicial system. If you have a | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
system of double jeopardy, as in the United States, they cannot | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
understand why in Italy you can be tried, in effect, for a second time | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
for the same crime. We will see a lot more high-profile TV interviews. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
She was on good morning America, which has millions of viewers. It is | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
a real appeal to public opinion to get public outrage behind her to put | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
pressure on politicians. As we know, extraditions are a legal issue but | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
they are political as much as anything else. She wants American | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
politicians to be batting for her. A test of extradition treaties, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
particularly when we know that the United States always wants | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
extradition treaties to be honoured when people are going the other way. | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
We have issues with them ourselves, don't we? Some people are extradited | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
to America. Not necessarily seen the other way. Let's move on and talk | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
about one of a number of education stories on the front pages. This is | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
the Independent, beneath the picture of Amanda Knox, Michael Gove Sax | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Ofsted chief. This is Baroness Morgan, who was a very close aide to | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
Tony Blair, but also appointed by the coalition three-year is ago to | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
be the chair of the schools Inspectorate, Ofsted. We understand, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
Kate, you will probably know more about this, the tensions there have | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
been within the various bodies looking after education. There has | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
been an extraordinary spat about Ofsted, the future of Ofsted and | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
what Michael Gove was going to do with it. He had to make a statement | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
only a few days ago saying he would sack anybody who would be briefing | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
against Ofsted, and now we discover that Baroness Morgan is going to not | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
get a second term. She is not being kept on. It is a strange situation | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
because her tenure should come to an end at the end of this month, which | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
is today, but she is likely to be kept on until they can find a | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
successor, until the autumn. It is a peculiar mixed message. Her tenure | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
has come to an end but she is staying on until they can find | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
someone to take over. That is politics. I think there is a lot of | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
politics going on. Despite the fact that she was closely linked to Tony | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Blair, she also supported the free schools policy. That is why she | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
might have been useful to Michael Gove until now. There has been a | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
statement from Michael Gove regarding the dismissal of Baroness | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Morgan. He says he would like to thank her for a tremendous | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
contribution to the work of Ofsted, bringing great knowledge and | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
insight. You would think she was stepping down of her own volition, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
the way this is worded, but it is never that straightforward. What is | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
going on behind this is that Michael Gove is very much trying to appeal | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
not to the education establishment, who he has shown he is not afraid of | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
antagonising, but the judgement he is making is that something needs to | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
be done to help standards in schools and that that will appeal to parents | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
who will vote. But it will not be easy to find an appointment that | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
satisfies everybody, particularly so close to an election, and I think | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
there has been a complaint to the Cabinet Secretary to stop Tory | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
ministers making party political appointments that are not | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
necessarily approved of by the Lib Dems. The thing that I remember most | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
is about when Tim Lawton was sacked as the children's minister. That man | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
was loved by people in the field, and there was total shock when he | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
was sacked by people working in that field. Again, we will have to wait | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
and see what comes out. They know who they are going to a point, but | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
it is a case of waiting to see what happens. We will come back to | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
education in a moment. Here is the financial Times main story - | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
Cameron's EU strategy dealt a double blow. This is after he met the | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
French president at Brize Norton today and resident Holland said now | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
is not the time to think about treaty changes. -- resident Holland. | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
It is a problem for David Cameron. Just to see them on stage together, | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
it shows the international diplomacy. Body language was | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
interesting. I heard they were in a pub as well. Maybe he did not like | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
the beer. There was also a problem today for the Prime Minister in that | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
the Lords have done in the bill that would have underpinned this | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
referendum on our continued relationship with the EU. You wonder | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
where the Prime Minister goes with this. He is still talking about the | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
referendum in 2017. Yes, he is, but the noises from number ten are very | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
much a blame game, saying, look at the Labour Party and the Liberal | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
Democrats. It is their fault the bill is not happening. They are | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
trying to put Bush on the parties without putting too much pressure, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
because they want to go into the next election saying, only the | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Conservatives will give you this referendum. I must ask you what you | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
made of Christopher Hope from the Telegraph was Mac temerity, in | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
asking the president if he has made France a laughing stock with his | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
private life, if he is still in a relationship with Julie Gayet, and | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
if he is sorry that she is not here. French journalists do not understand | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
the fixation with that question. Absolutely, the French media and | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
French MPs are considering that British journalists have insulted | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
the French president, and it is because they have a tradition of | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
being deferential to their political leaders. And in Britain we have a | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
tradition of asking very tough questions to people in power, and I | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
think that is what we get from a free press, and we should be proud | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
of it. You would feel you are not doing your job properly if you had | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
not asked it. Let's move on to the Telegraph, another education story | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
with England a second language at one in nine schools. What is the | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
point of the story? It's in the Telegraph, so that might be a | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
pointer. It's not news. It's something that I hear all the time. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
I am not sure what their motivation is. There have not been any figures | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
or anything else like that released. They say it has gone up 10% since | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
2009. It says the majority of children in 755 primary and | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
secondary schools spoke another language at home following a sharp | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
increase in the pupils with foreign-born parents. They saying it | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
is a good or a bad thing? -- are they saying? One thing they are | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
saying is that these schools were all mainly rated good or outstanding | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
by Ofsted. So it's not a disadvantage to speak more than one | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
language. They do talk about the things that the schools are doing as | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
well to help pupils and to help the society within the school. They are | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
pointing out that we are expecting a kind of explosion in the number of | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
kids going to school in the coming years, because we are seeing a | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
rising birth rate. It's nothing we haven't seen before. We saw this in | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
the early 1980s, so it is about whether we allocate resources and | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
how do we deal with it? More teachers having to cope with | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
children who do not speak English as fluently as they might want. I | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
always think having a second language is a real skill. It's | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
something lacking in my life. I wish I had spoken to languages. Prince | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Charles attacking the climate headless chickens. He often gets | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
criticised the commenting on anything. But he might be criticised | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
if he did not make a comment at all. I often agree with a lot of things | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
he says. I remember when he talked about buildings being carbuncles, | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
and a lot of people think he should not say things like this. Should he | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
be? As the heir to the throne? I am torn. One of the interesting things | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
about him saying this is it shows the rise and influence of | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
anti-climate change groups. That is it for this hour, but David and Kate | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
will be with us at 11:30pm. Stay with us on BBC News because at 11 | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
o'clock we have more on the heavy weather which is starting to batter | :13:43. | :13:55. | |
the UK. Coming up next, Sports day. -- Sportsday. | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
15 minutes left of the transfer window now and the deadline day | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
drama could come from Anfield. Andy Flower calls for a clean slate after | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
he steps down as England team director | :14:16. | :14:17. |
