him in the side. #we6 will show you how Andy Murray had to do it the

:00:00.:00:00.

hard way. That is all in Sportsday, in 15

:00:00.:00:00.

minutes, after the papers. Hello there. Welcome to our lock

:00:00.:00:20.

ahead to what the papers will -- a look ahead to what the papers will

:00:21.:00:23.

bring us tomorrow. Paul Kellner and Zamila Bunglawala.

:00:24.:00:29.

Pretty much all the front-pages are in now. Let's look. We will start

:00:30.:00:34.

with the Independent. It starts on Nigel Evans. It say says senior

:00:35.:00:39.

Conservatives warned him about his behaviour four years before he was

:00:40.:00:43.

charged with sexual offences. He denies all the charges. The Mirror

:00:44.:00:50.

is speculating on the fate of the missing plane. The express says a

:00:51.:00:56.

healthy diet can prevent dementia in later life. On the Metro, lead ping

:00:57.:01:01.

on the trial of a man who ordered the murder of a toddler via webcam.

:01:02.:01:07.

The Telegraph says it has new information on the Lockerbie

:01:08.:01:13.

bombing. The Guardian is covering the prosecution's opening of that

:01:14.:01:19.

trial of Nigel Evans. Free school meal ps plan in disarray

:01:20.:01:26.

after being attacked by -- meals plan is in disarray after being

:01:27.:01:31.

attacked by head teachers. The plane en route from Kuala Lumpur to

:01:32.:01:35.

Beijing. It has completely disappeared. It is an extraordinary

:01:36.:01:41.

Story. Of course, like the of best mysteries, it gives rise to all

:01:42.:01:46.

sorts of rumours and speculation. Little bits of fact that get

:01:47.:01:51.

possibly expanded into something that may or may not tell us

:01:52.:01:54.

anything. Here we have, what the Mirror is saying, is a mystery

:01:55.:02:00.

Iranian man bought the two plane tickets for the two men with stolen

:02:01.:02:05.

passports. Is this true? Question mark! If it is true r they

:02:06.:02:09.

responsible for the blowing up of this plane? Of course this all takes

:02:10.:02:16.

place in the context of Iran trying to real brat its relationship with

:02:17.:02:22.

the -- recalibrate its relationship with the West.

:02:23.:02:26.

My wife has been out, trying to move relations between the West and Iran

:02:27.:02:32.

on to a better footing, which would include Iran giving up plans for

:02:33.:02:37.

nuclear weapons. So, if Iran is involved - a huge if - if - lit up

:02:38.:02:43.

in lights! If it is, it makes things awkward. Of course the suggestion

:02:44.:02:48.

that another country is involved in some way is based on the fact that

:02:49.:02:54.

two people got on to this flight with stolen passports. Yes. It is

:02:55.:02:59.

bound to see speculation several days in when we still cannot find

:03:00.:03:03.

this plane. It would, as Peter suggests, it would be a hugeful leap

:03:04.:03:11.

that it may lead to an entire country being blamed for this jet it

:03:12.:03:15.

is troubling for the families not knowing what is happening.

:03:16.:03:18.

Speculation does not help thesmt If the plane is at the bottom of an

:03:19.:03:23.

ocean and they cannot recover the black box, this will be one of those

:03:24.:03:28.

things which will give rise to all theories and conspiracies and

:03:29.:03:31.

speculation. As you say, let's hope for the families we can at least get

:03:32.:03:35.

closure by finding out what did happen. These black boxes - they are

:03:36.:03:40.

actually orange - they only have a battery life of 30 days. 30 days -

:03:41.:03:47.

the thing will go dead any way. It does not leave much time. P indeed!

:03:48.:03:55.

Let's go on to the Daily Telegraph and the Lockerbie bombers. Carried

:03:56.:04:02.

out by Syrian extremists, claims an intelligence officer. This is a

:04:03.:04:06.

story pushed. According to our security correspondent it has been

:04:07.:04:10.

around for a while. We have not yet seen this documentary. It is news

:04:11.:04:14.

that we are taking second-hand, that we hope to see once the documentary

:04:15.:04:19.

has been alive. This person has been living in Germany for some time. The

:04:20.:04:22.

timing is interesting as to why this is only now coming to the fore.

:04:23.:04:26.

Based on the headline, we are looking at Iran on a different

:04:27.:04:29.

light, based on the due political issues we are talking about. The

:04:30.:04:33.

timing is interesting. I think the fact this person is coming out to

:04:34.:04:36.

talk about it now is interesting. This is a former intelligence

:04:37.:04:41.

officer who has defected to Germany. Once in the West you may have

:04:42.:04:45.

different things to say about countries once you have moved. Oddly

:04:46.:04:50.

the headline is very... A great story by the Telegraph. Very good

:04:51.:04:56.

news values. It should Syria's Lockerbie bombers ismts is an ir

:04:57.:05:02.

Iranian official... If you go back 20 years, Libya was in the dog

:05:03.:05:07.

house, and Syria, we were trying to have reasonably normal relationships

:05:08.:05:12.

with. Therefore, it is suited for a wider political agenda to say it was

:05:13.:05:16.

a Libyan bombing, not a Syrian bombing. It looks looks increasingly

:05:17.:05:22.

that Gaddafi had nothing to do with it. Had nothing to do with it. And

:05:23.:05:27.

the suggestion from this article is it was in retaliation, so they got

:05:28.:05:35.

the Syrians to carry it out, for a strike on a jet which killed 290

:05:36.:05:46.

people. So, very interesting. And indeed, al-Megrahi has plead pleaded

:05:47.:05:54.

innocent. And Jim Squire always pointed to the suggestion that it

:05:55.:06:00.

was something else. And lawyers with level heads said al-Megrahi was not

:06:01.:06:09.

the person. Passport checks - 20 million passengers avoid thorough

:06:10.:06:13.

checks. How can that be? 200 million people come to the UK. 10%, that

:06:14.:06:18.

makes 20 million do not have thorough checks T target is 5%. --

:06:19.:06:25.

the target is 5%. There'll always be some. We fly to JFK, into America

:06:26.:06:31.

and we know how long those queues are. We know how exhausting the

:06:32.:06:36.

process is. Perhaps we in Britain should do the same as the Americans.

:06:37.:06:41.

But then you have one or both of two options. Very, very long queues for

:06:42.:06:46.

people coming into Britain or many, many more immigration officials,

:06:47.:06:50.

which would be a greater expense on the public purse. So, if this story

:06:51.:06:55.

is true, then it raises the question - what's the cure? As he was saying,

:06:56.:07:01.

the fact is you cannot count everybody because that would take

:07:02.:07:05.

forever and cause problems at the border. Exactly. I have been to JFK.

:07:06.:07:15.

It has taken me an hour-and-a-half to get out of the front door. We

:07:16.:07:19.

need better security within our airports. We don't have that. We

:07:20.:07:24.

need more desks just to let people out. . The queues in the airports

:07:25.:07:29.

are horrendous. Any change will have to make a logistical nightmare.

:07:30.:07:34.

Going back to the story about stolen passports - the BBC found out today

:07:35.:07:40.

that 160,000 British passports go missing, or went missing between

:07:41.:07:47.

2008-2013 - 160,000. So, these are passports that could get into the

:07:48.:07:54.

hands of terrorists, of money launder launders. Sin any kats. As I

:07:55.:07:59.

understand -- syndicates. As I understand it, in many countries

:08:00.:08:03.

they check the passport. They scan it against the actual database. If

:08:04.:08:08.

the there are people stealing British passports and manipulating,

:08:09.:08:12.

changing the detail, this may be useful if you are travelling between

:08:13.:08:17.

two African or Latin American countries. I'm not sure they are not

:08:18.:08:23.

that useful for getting into Britain. If I am wrong. If checks

:08:24.:08:31.

are so dreadful that forged and distorted passports will pass muster

:08:32.:08:36.

then we have perhaps a deeper prom. Interpol -- deep deeper problem.

:08:37.:08:41.

Interpol and police authorities around the world, for many years on

:08:42.:08:46.

this problem. I think partly the issue of microchiping lots of

:08:47.:08:50.

European passports is to try and overcome these problems. We have not

:08:51.:08:53.

gotten all the countries in the world to do this. In the UK, we are

:08:54.:08:58.

taking it seriously. We cannot stop people coming in if we don't know

:08:59.:09:02.

what we are looking for yet. OK, on to the Independent, Tories knew

:09:03.:09:10.

about senior MP's gay sex assaults - it is in quotation marks. It came

:09:11.:09:16.

out about Nigel Evans, who is accused of a number of sexual

:09:17.:09:21.

offences. All I would say. I know Nigel Evans. I like him. The

:09:22.:09:25.

statement - innocent until proven guilty is not just a form of word -

:09:26.:09:30.

it means something. The trial opened today. This is the prosecution case.

:09:31.:09:33.

Now, the allegation is serious, not just in relation to Nigel Evans, but

:09:34.:09:37.

in relation to the Tory Party, which is why it is on the front-page of

:09:38.:09:46.

the Independent, the Guardian. If it is true, it has wider ramifications

:09:47.:09:52.

than Nigel Evans himself. It is just the prosecution case. When we hear

:09:53.:09:57.

the defence case let's hope it gets all the prominence this does. He

:09:58.:10:01.

denies all the charges He said that from day one.

:10:02.:10:06.

It will be something to watch, as Peter said. It has made several

:10:07.:10:10.

papers. It will be a big story for some time. The Daily Mail - infants

:10:11.:10:19.

making menu choices - parents chopping vegs - what is this about?

:10:20.:10:23.

This is an interesting story of where we think the disarray will

:10:24.:10:27.

happen in our school system and where the food is coming from. The

:10:28.:10:31.

policy was a good policy because we do have good free school meals for

:10:32.:10:37.

lots of neighbourhoods now I has worked as a good poll -- now. It has

:10:38.:10:43.

worked as a good policy. There are free breakfasts as well. If it does

:10:44.:10:47.

not work on the ground, someone has to revisit why they think it is a

:10:48.:10:51.

good policy and what is going wrong. Two very good friends of mine wrote

:10:52.:10:57.

a book called The Blunders of our Governments. Things well meaning

:10:58.:11:01.

that went wrong. Could this be another one? Feeding kids properly,

:11:02.:11:06.

you cannot overstate the importance of this. It really is absolutely

:11:07.:11:13.

vital. The policy must work. It's no good just having an announcement and

:11:14.:11:18.

the right motives. You have to get down and look back at the poll tax,

:11:19.:11:23.

or this Government's health reforms - the list goes on of things which

:11:24.:11:28.

seemed a good idea at the time, but were not properly thought through.

:11:29.:11:34.

When will we ever learn. You were from blar's Number Ten. You

:11:35.:11:40.

thought about things clearly or very deeply before you put them to your

:11:41.:11:44.

master, didn't you? We test things as well. That is why we have pilots

:11:45.:11:50.

for policies. When you have rollouts on this scale, there are planning

:11:51.:11:54.

things which need to be dealt W if those things are not taken care of,

:11:55.:11:58.

lots of people do suffer and I mean, children going hungry is not a good

:11:59.:12:01.

sign. Have there been pilots of this? At

:12:02.:12:17.

the borough level. Nationally we're talking about thousands of schools.

:12:18.:12:25.

It is not just about timing as well. At borough level there is a

:12:26.:12:28.

manageable number of schools and you can get by and talk to them about

:12:29.:12:32.

how it is done and make sure it happens properly. National roll-out,

:12:33.:12:37.

you are going from 50 schools to 2000 or whatever. We can forgive a

:12:38.:12:42.

few teething troubles, can't we, with a policy as big as this? No! We

:12:43.:12:48.

have to think about starving children. Precisely because what

:12:49.:12:53.

Nick Clegg announced was so important and will be so worthwhile,

:12:54.:12:57.

we jolly well have to get it right. I know personally if my belly is

:12:58.:13:01.

full, I am concentrating more in this studio. So if you are tiled,

:13:02.:13:09.

there you go. Onto the Guardian. -- if you are a child. UKIP facing

:13:10.:13:15.

questions from European allies. This is really interesting because we had

:13:16.:13:19.

the time is turning them over and raising questions. UKIP is part of a

:13:20.:13:24.

grouping of like-minded parties from a number of countries that get

:13:25.:13:29.

together in the European Parliament because they have certain procedural

:13:30.:13:32.

and financial rights if they join up. It is not UKIP MEPs, but MEPs

:13:33.:13:38.

from parties they are associated with. Saying terrible things about

:13:39.:13:44.

child-bearing most women being compared to Osama Bin Laden.

:13:45.:13:49.

Precisely because UKIP is fighting for first place, Nigel Farage said a

:13:50.:13:56.

couple of weeks ago that they can expect a lot of scrutiny. Just ten

:13:57.:14:00.

weeks from the European elections, it will be interesting to see

:14:01.:14:04.

whether the scrutiny in the end undermines UKIP's appeal. With a lot

:14:05.:14:10.

more press coverage has to come more scrutiny. As a slim woman, I find it

:14:11.:14:16.

quite incredible that we are talking about Muslim women in this way. --

:14:17.:14:24.

Muslim woman. We need to look at why UKIP is supporting these groups and

:14:25.:14:27.

what it says about them and what tolerance levels we have. Are we out

:14:28.:14:36.

of time? I think we are. We sped through that and did not get to

:14:37.:14:40.

Kelly Gallagher, the brilliant success on the slopes of Sochi. We

:14:41.:14:44.

will talk about that later, in an hour, for another look at the

:14:45.:14:49.

stories behind the headlines. At 11 o'clock on BBC News, we will have

:14:50.:14:53.

the latest on the search operation for that missing Malaysia airlines

:14:54.:14:59.

aeroplane bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. First, Sportsday.
